[12:28] <theadmin> naquad: dd if=... of=/dev/sdc is the right way.
[12:28] <theadmin> naquad: It will not boot otheriwse.
[12:28] <naquad> theadmin, this way it doesn't boot at all
[12:29] <Ileden> I just installed xubuntu-desktop to my Ubuntu, can someone tell what the difference is between "XFCE session" and "Xubuntu session" startup options?
[12:29] <theadmin> naquad: However, I'm not sure Ubuntu's images are dd-compatible. Read the instructions on ubuntu.com for creating a USB stick
[12:29] <theadmin> Ileden: None, it's just buggy
[12:29] <Ileden> theadmin: So the same option shows as double? Ok, thanks!
[12:29] <gaelfx> naquad: you can use unetbootin in windows, it's not just for linux
[12:30] <naquad> gaelfx, i don't have windows
[12:30] <ThinkT510> naquad: dd is an exact copy, if you are dd'ing an ext partition (example) then it won't just copy the contents to an existing filesystem, it will overwrite it
[12:30] <naquad> theadmin, it contains instructions only for win/mac/ubuntu, no instructions for non-ubuntu distros
[12:30] <naquad> ThinkT510, i know what is dd, but that knowledge doesn't help much in my case
[12:30] <naquad> are there any premade usb stick images with ubuntu?
[12:31] <theadmin> naquad: You should just use unetbootin. It's not ubuntu-only. Works on any Windows/Linux+GTK
[12:32] <gaelfx> I'm guessing he's not using GTK
[12:32] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[12:32] <gaelfx> headless server?
[12:33] <quick-> BluesKaj:  fine :)
[12:33] <naquad> theadmin, arch linux doesn't have that thing in repos
[12:33] <theadmin> naquad: You're an arch user too?
[12:33] <gaelfx> naquad: what package system do you use?
[12:33] <naquad> theadmin, yup. found unetbootin in aur
[12:33] <theadmin> naquad: Yeah, it is in AUR
[12:34] <ThinkT510> naquad: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21989
[12:34] <naquad> ThinkT510, packer rules :) packer -S unetbootin :)
[12:34] <theadmin> naquad: http://archlinux.fr/yaourt-en
[12:34] <theadmin> naquad: And fsck other Pacman/AUR frontends :D
[12:35] <ThinkT510> i'm glad i'm not the only arch user in here
[12:35] <naquad> theadmin, i've tried yaourt, didn't like it and got used to packer
[12:36] <rcmaehl> Help! I'm running ubuntu 11.04 on an intel atom 1.6ghz with intel 945GME intergrated graphics and I can't play HD videos on anything but KDE's dragon player. Is there something special about dragon player than I could transfer to like vlc or something?
[12:36] <theadmin> ThinkT510: I always go here when bored, even though I haven't used ubuntu for a long time
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> naquad:  the pendrivelinux site has some tools/scripts for doing iso -> usb that work in most disrtos.
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> rcmaehl:  run vlc from a terminal. try to play video. look for error messages.
[12:39] <rcmaehl> Dr_Willis: other players play the HD videos but they lag very very bad and get like 2fps
[12:39] <rcmaehl> Dr_Willis: dragon player gets around 57fps
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> You said they dident play. :)
[12:39] <rcmaehl> Dr_Willis: 2fps is basically not playing
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> try the differnt 'video output' options for the players would be step 1 i guess.
[12:40] <rcmaehl> Dr_Willis: number of reference frames exceeds max (probably corrupt input), discarding one
[12:40] <ubuntu_> hello
[12:40] <Maro__> Would anyone be able to help me with a really weird problem with networking on Ubuntu server 10.04.2? Server has worked fine for like a year...and suddenly the network just died. Figured it must be the NIC cos nothing worked at all (no tcpdump traffic), put in a new NIC and still no tcpdump traffic... I cannot figure out wtf is wrong...
[12:40] <rcmaehl> Dr_Willis: I get that ALOT
[12:40] <ubuntu_> anyone can hear me?
[12:40] <gaelfx> rcmaehl: what other players have you tried?
[12:40] <naquad> Dr_Willis, seems unetbootin helped
[12:40] <ThinkT510> ubuntu_: yes, need help?
[12:40] <Ileden> ubuntu_: yes, just ask your question.
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> rcmaehl:  could be some flakey encodeing or a bad file. No idea why dragon wouldent have the same issue
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> naquad:  i tend to not use unetbootin these days. I perfer the tools at the Pendrivelinux web site
[12:41] <BluesKaj> rcmaehl, install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[12:41] <ubuntu_> Is this chatting for any subject?
[12:41] <gaelfx> ubuntu_: just ubuntu help and such
[12:41] <ubuntu_> ah ha
[12:42] <BluesKaj> ubuntu_, read the title
[12:42] <ThinkT510> ubuntu_: this is for support, if you want to just chat: #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:42] <ubuntu_> sorry guys i will just be quiet
[12:42] <BluesKaj> !ask
[12:43] <DirtyDawg> ubuntu_: #ubuntu-offtopic is for general chat, here is for support
[12:43] <cousin_mario> bbl
[12:43] <gaelfx> :-?
[12:43] <rcmaehl_> back ><
[12:43] <rcmaehl_> netbook crashed
[12:44] <gaelfx> rcmaehl_: what players have you actually tried?
[12:44] <natalie> have got skype isntalled, but it seems to be missing a dependency on lubuntu. libQtDBus.so.4    does not seem to exist in repo
[12:44] <rcmaehl_> gaelfx: gnome player, totem, vlc, dragon, and a few others, I basically tried every video player in the repos
[12:45] <rcmaehl_> gaelfx: the default repos
[12:45] <gaelfx> rcmaehl_: did you try smplayer?
[12:45] <rcmaehl_> gaelfx: yes
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> rcmaehl_:  vlc and mplayer have several differnt 'video out' options you could try.
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> could be its not using hardware rendering or somting for some odd reason
[12:46] <gaelfx> rcmaehl_: I'd have to agree with Dr_Willis on this, you should try some different video output methods
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> for vlc and mplayer  - used tobe - you HAD to set the video out setting, then exit/restart the player for the setting to take. Or use the cli options
[12:47] <gaelfx> I personally feel it's easier to change in SMplayer, but if you're more used to VLC, it shouldn't be too difficult, though I believe you have to actually restart the video for the changes in settings to take effect
[12:49] <mykal> herp derp
[12:51] <notyourname> kiba dock. how to install it
[12:51] <natalie> is vlc and skype not in the lubuntu repos
[12:51] <natalie> ??
[12:51] <ThinkT510> natalie: vlc should be
[12:52] <ThinkT510> !skype | natalie
[12:52] <natalie> ThinkT510, but no skype
[12:52] <D34X> how do I log in?
[12:52] <ThinkT510> !info vlc | natalie
[12:52] <theadmin> D34X: wut?
[12:52] <natalie> ThinkT510, is Ekiga compatibile with skype?
[12:52] <theadmin> natalie: No.
[12:53] <ThinkT510> natalie: haven't tried it sorry
[12:53] <theadmin> natalie: Nothing but skype supports the skype protocol yet.
[12:53] <gaelfx> natalie: nothing is compatible with skype, they use a proprietary codec and API for their software
[12:53] <matthias_> hi, I have a laptop (thinkpad t60) here and the build in speakers and only the headphone jack is working. the speakers keep mute when I pull out my headphone plug
[12:53] <natalie> theadmin, tanks
[12:54] <gaelfx> sorry about the redundancy
[12:54] <matthias_> i'm using pulseaudio
[12:54] <gaelfx> matthias_: I feel your pain
[12:54] <gaelfx> oops, didn't see your first post
[12:54] <theadmin> matthias_: Switch to ALSA. Have fun. Though, again, GNOME and Unity refuse to work without Pulse, AFAIK.
[12:55] <matthias_> theadmin: shall I just uninstall pulseaudio?
[12:55] <gaelfx> matthias_: I believe there are some posts on the forums about the problem you're experiencing, have you checked there yet?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> matthias_:  i see that sort of question asked ALL the time. the forums proberly have a dozen threads on it. and thers askubuntu.com
[12:56] <natalie> hmm, looks like skype just isnt in the lubuntu repos.
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> !info skype
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> Its not in the normal ubuntu repos either. :)
[12:56] <gaelfx> she's asking about Lubuntu
[12:56] <theadmin> natalie: Yes, it's not. You need to get it from skype.com
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> Lubuntu uses the same repos as ubuntu.
[12:56] <gaelfx> nm
[12:57] <gaelfx> natalie: have you ever used a PPA before?
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> !skype
[12:57] <prashant_123456> can anyone tell me why my network manager dont detect eth0 ???????
[12:57] <natalie> theadmin, yeah, tried that, when you click the file in gui, seems like nothing happens, but it shows up under internet menu and wont run. run skype from command line and it says it is dependant on some libQtBus file
[12:58] <theadmin> natalie: You do need qt to run it
[12:58] <natalie> gaelfx, maybe, not familiar with the name, but from the literature its a package source right?
[12:58] <gaelfx> natalie: yeah, sort of, you might want to look for a Skype PPA and add that instead
[12:58] <flux_> asd
[12:58] <natalie> theadmin, i tried sudo apt-get install "missing fie"  not available either
[12:58] <hmuller_> how do I report a kernel bug? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs is a little vague
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> !find libqtbus
[12:59] <theadmin> natalie: Apt-get doesn't install files, only packages.
[12:59] <roselush> hello ,guys !
[12:59] <gaelfx> natalie: that way, in 50 years when they update Skype for linux again, you won't have to download and install it again
[12:59] <matthias_> theadmin: fixed the problem, thanks for your help :)
[12:59] <natalie> theadmin, true, sorry, wrong term
[13:00] <gaelfx> !find qt
[13:01] <prgrn> how is hardening handled? nm-applet isnt hardened but most binaries (natty) seem to be and theres no rules override...
[13:03] <natalie> gaelfx, google for ppa skype ubuntu brings me http://www.ehow.com/how_5665129_install-skype-ubuntu.html but it doesnt feel right
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> !skype
[13:03] <gaelfx> natalie: PPA's should only come from launchpad.net
[13:03] <natalie> Dr_Willis, will not work on lubuntu, tried it allready
[13:03] <ThinkT510> natalie: try and convice your friends who use skype to switch
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> natalie:  it will if you install the right extra packages.
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> natalie:  you couldinstall 'kubuntu-desktop' and it proberly would.. but that would download a few 100mb of stuff :)
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> if you can find a skype deb you coulduse 'gdebi skype-whatever.deb' and it should pull in the needed dependencies also
[13:04] <asmalik> How to install wireless drivers in ubuntu 10.10? LAN working fine.
[13:05] <natalie> Dr_Willis, which extras, and this machine is antique, just want audio skype. if i aks her to switch, all her friends have to switch, not really a possibility
[13:05] <gaelfx> natalie: alternatively, you could try imo messenger, it's web-based, but I don't know if it does video
[13:05] <gaelfx> natalie: (you can use your skype for chatting there, no calls though, afaik)
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> natalie:  if it wants some qt libs thats what it needs.. You mentned libqtbus. Ive no idewa what package contains that.
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> depending on your hard drive space. You could just start installing some qt apps and see if any pull the stuff in skype needs.
[13:06] <gaelfx> natalie: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/34
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> its also possible that skype is wanting a differnt version.
[13:07] <soyo> Is the package php5-mysql just the connection module? I have php5 and mysql installed but they are not talking yet.
[13:07] <natalie> Dr_Willis, the pkg is libQtDbus.so.4
[13:07] <soyo> I have not yet installed php5-mysql
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> natalie:  no..thats the libaray name
[13:07] <gaelfx> natalie: wait, nevermind, that's old
[13:07] <ikonia> soyo: you need mysql server, mysql client, and php5 you then need to configure them
[13:07] <jrib> !info php5-mysql | soyo
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> !find libQtDbus.so
[13:08] <soyo> ikonia: Yeah I guess the client might help too ;)
[13:08] <gaelfx> http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/306576
[13:09] <kasia12> #mircryption
[13:09] <gaelfx> dang, that one actually has the old one too
[13:10] <gaelfx> natalie: did you try opening the skype.deb with dpkg?
[13:10] <natalie> this is what happens with the skype download http://pastebin.ca/2064536
[13:11] <kisplit> hmm, I just did 'tar -xvfz archive.tar.gz' and it failed but 'tar xvfz archive.tar.gz' worked. What's the '-' do that's different?
[13:11] <ribot> hey is there a php channel on this network?
[13:11] <JoshuaL> ##php
[13:11] <ribot> ##php Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[13:11] <mykal> Natalie is sexy. Herp derp.
[13:11] <jrib> kisplit: what does "failed" mean exactly
[13:12] <jrib> mykal: let's try to stay on topic
[13:12] <jrib> !register | ribot
[13:12] <natalie> just saw my error with adding install as well. thats stoopid
[13:12] <ribot> my nick is registered
[13:12] <danslo> kisplit: I suppose that depends on your version of tar :) but on ubuntu it should work regardless... what exactly do you mean with failed :)
[13:13] <gaelfx> natalie: seems like the medibuntu method on the ehow site is the best way to go
[13:13] <jrib> ribot: you need to identify then

[13:13] <vlt> Hello. I installed Ubuntu and use its default mail program Evolution. Where can I set the default domain that's appended when I omit a recipient's domain part?
[13:14] <danslo> kisplit: you sure there are no spaces between those options?
[13:14] <kisplit> danslo: yup
[13:14] <danslo> thats.. weird :)
[13:14] <danslo> works for me
[13:14] <ceb_2> anyone??
[13:14] <kisplit> weird
[13:14] <kisplit> GNU tar 1.25
[13:14] <danslo> same...

[13:15] <neogarfield_> Hello all... i'm running Ubuntu Natty on my desktop, and i need some help with a wireless adapter...
[13:15] <danslo> v option removed for brevity
[13:15] <danslo> works fine 0_0
[13:15] <jrib> danslo: now try without "f" last :)
[13:15] <kisplit> yup :p
[13:15] <kisplit> tar -xvfz fails while tar xvfz success
[13:16] <danslo> fxz works :p
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> tar dosent use a - like that any more i belive.
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> !info unp
[13:16] <kisplit> It can be either
[13:16] <jrib> danslo: but kisplit is trying with the '-'
[13:16] <kisplit> the point is, tar man page says '-' or no '-' works
[13:16] <danslo> oh yeah, thats weird
[13:16] <danslo> lol
[13:16] <kisplit> but in this particular case it doesn't :p
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> I recall tehre being some posix (?) agreement that the - is not needed in some cases.
[13:17] <nickbotbla> Hi, all!
[13:17] <prashant_123456> can some one tell me the right way to configure dsl connection via network manager gui ??
[13:17] <neogarfield_> anyone here willing to help out with a wireless adapter issue (tp-link wn321g) on 11.04? Went through the forums, not helping a lot...
[13:17] <alphaex> hi
[13:17] <theadmin> prashant_123456: What kind of DSL? pppoe?
[13:17] <Pici> kisplit: It works here regardless of whether I use a - in front of my options or not.
[13:17] <prashant_123456> theadmin, yep
[13:18] <prashant_123456> theadmin, pppoe
[13:18] <danslo> Pici: not if you use the exact same order of options :P thats the weird thing
[13:18] <jrib> Pici: you did "-xvfz"?
[13:18] <Pici> kisplit: Also, you may want to keep in mind that we don't support xampp installs here, we prefer that you use the LAMP stack that is in the repos.
[13:18] <kisplit> Pici: Are you sure you're using the exact switch '-xvfz'?
[13:18] <theadmin> prashant_123456: Use pppoe-setup, networkmanager is broken there
[13:18] <kisplit> Pici: Because most other '-xxxx' work
[13:18] <nickbotbla> Hi, all!
[13:18] <nickbotbla> Hi, all!
[13:19] <neogarfield_> the network is shown, and the password is asked for, but it keeps on connecting, not getting connected...
[13:19] <danslo> kisplit: also yeah what Pici said... just install apache2, apache2-mod-php5, mysql-server (and optionally: php5-mysql, php5-gd, php5-curl, php5-mcrypt) :)
[13:19] <nickbotbla> Hi, all!
[13:19] <gaelfx> neogarfield_: is that a usb adapter?
[13:19] <neogarfield_> @gaelfx yes
[13:19] <nickbotbla> Hi, all!
[13:19] <prashant_123456> theadmin, when i connect using pppoeconf everywebpage loads very great but when i use network manage to connect the internet some webpages dont display like mail.yahoo.co.in ????
[13:19] <Pici> kisplit: The manpage states the following: -f, --file ARCHIVE, so f needs to be the last argument.
[13:20] <nickbotbla> Hi, all!
[13:20] <nickbotbla> Hi, all!
[13:20] <nickbotbla> Hi, all!
[13:20] <theadmin> prashant_123456: As I said, networkmanager's DSL is BROKEN. Don't use that.
[13:20] <jrib> nickbotbla: hello hello hello
[13:20] <prashant_123456> theadmin, when i use pppoeconf sometimes i dont get connected to internet dont know why
[13:20] <kisplit> Pici: I know, but why does xvfz work and -xvfz does not? haha it's a bug
[13:20] <D34X> Nick is a bot
[13:20] <D34X> boot it
[13:20] <natalie> ahh technology and being a novice. have no idea what i did, but somehow skype is just magically working out of nowhere. popped up on the screen in the middle of me trying to 'fix' it
[13:20] <Pici> kisplit: Thats a bit odd.
[13:20] <kisplit> danslo: this isn't production. purely for my own local dev
[13:20] <nickbotbla> Hi, all!
[13:20] <prashant_123456> theadmin,  when i connect using pppoeconf everywebpage loads very great but when i use network manage to connect the internet some webpages dont display like mail.yahoo.co.in ????

[13:20] <danslo> kisplit: yes, I use the same packages locally :)
[13:21] <DirtyDawg> guys when i enable metacitys compositing feature so i can run docky, any videos i play i cant see them, they load and the sound works but just a black screen, any ideas?
[13:21] <theadmin> prashant_123456: I replied already. NetworkManager's PPPOE capability is broken.
[13:21] <thegoodcushion> How do I switch 10.04 to type-in-Japanese mode?
[13:21] <kisplit> danslo: I just like lampp since I can remove everything with rm -f when we move everything to production :p
[13:21] <Pici> marten__: We do not permit unauthorized bots in this channel, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[13:21] <neogarfield_> @gaelfx than you, i'll check it out and get back...
[13:21] <theadmin> thegoodcushion: Find the "IBus Input Method" in Preferences.
[13:21] <Pici> kisplit: I'd file a bug over that.
[13:21] <gaelfx> neogarfield_: kk, g/l
[13:22] <prashant_123456> theadmin, but when i get connected to pppoeconf the command line way like pon dsl-provider sometimes i dont get connected ????
[13:22] <theadmin> prashant_123456: Probably a provider problem
[13:22] <mr_grey> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhNY9mTHgFA&feature=related
[13:22] <danslo> kisplit: you dont need a local dev environment when you move to production? what kind of company are you working for , lol
[13:22] <gaelfx> natalie: fml?
[13:22] <prashant_123456> theadmin, but when i connect via network manager internet is good
[13:22] <prashant_123456> theadmin, no problem but have some problem with some websites only
[13:22] <jrib> mr_grey: please don't do that
[13:23] <thegoodcushion> theadmin: I got ibus thingy installed, but how do I tell it I want to type in Japanese?
[13:23] <kisplit> Pici: Not sure how/where :p
[13:23] <theadmin> prashant_123456: Okay, that's odd. I have a router which does the connection for me so I dunno
[13:23] <mr_grey> sorry jrib love spreading the gospal of computer key slingin music
[13:23] <prashant_123456> theadmin, thanks
[13:23] <Pici> kisplit: ubuntu-bug tar
[13:23] <gaelfx> thegoodcushion: there should be ibus preferences in System->Administration or System->Preferences
[13:23] <kisplit> danslo: This is the thing, our remote dev server is currently in the middle of being changed
[13:23] <gaelfx> thegoodcushion: you ought to be able to select IME there
[13:24] <kisplit> danslo: so temporarily I'm testing on my same machine
[13:24] <mr_grey> That is how mr_grey gets down
[13:24] <natalie> gaelfx, um, i assume youcan gogle what it means, and its nsfw. but i just mean after thinking i was learning something, it just worked, and sucked the lesson right out of it
[13:24] <kisplit> Pici: thanks
[13:25] <soyo> So php.ini shows mysql options in it, but I still do not get the php section in phpinfo()
[13:25] <soyo> ;
[13:25] <jrib> mr_grey: that's ok, but keep in mind this channel is only for ubuntu support.  For other things, like musical likes and dislikes, join #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:25] <mr_grey> u gotta admit that is pretty brutal tho
[13:25] <gaelfx> natalie: haha, ok, I got it, my leetspeak is off today. At least it works, right?
[13:25] <danslo> kisplit: well over here we don't have a remote dev environment (well we do, but nobody makes use of it).... local development > prelive (testing) > staging > production :)
[13:25] <mr_grey> You're right jrib

[13:29] <rjg_> Hi, I'm running Ubuntu in a VM (Virtual Box on top of Snow Leopard). I need to access a virtual console, but the usual ALT-CRTL-F1 combo isn't doing the trick (while every other key remains within Ubuntu when I'm using the VM, all the F keys inexplicably continue to effect OSX only.) Is there any way to change the key combos and or access the virtual combo through some other route>
[13:30] <jrib> rjg_: there is a way but I don't remember how (maybe in the menus?).  Try #vbox if no one here knows
[13:30] <gaelfx> rjg_: sounds like a good question for virtualbox :D

[13:36] <neogarfield_> gaelfx: my usb wireless adapter device is rt2070, not the one listed in that article
[13:37] <Shucky> i have problem with one of my website, i have error 500 (In only one site) I've look the log but now i don't know where i can found other error about the problem
[13:37] <Morten_> Hello, how do i check why my system freezes? -- It only happens when a use an external storage element (tried 3 different kinds, crashed with 2 of them). The system locks up and the caps-lock LED flashes. Any ideas?
[13:37] <hmuller_> D34X: Instructions for LIVEUSB are here:
[13:37] <iceroot> Morten_: less /var/log/syslog  is a good start
[13:37] <hmuller_> D34X: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[13:37] <iceroot> Morten_: blinking caps-lock led normaly means "kernel-panic"
[13:37] <Shucky> any idea?
[13:38] <Morten_> iceroot, :( that sounds serious..
[13:38] <iceroot> Shucky: less /var/log/apache2/error.log
[13:38] <tdn> Morten_, usually hardware problems or drivers.
[13:38] <alphaex> hi
[13:39] <Shucky> iceroot this file show me lot of error but no error about this site
[13:39] <Morten_> tdn, okay..
[13:40] <theadmin> Morten_: You need to be some sort of a maniac to crash Linux with an external storage though o.O
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> Morten_:  its not trying toboot from the disks is it? its crashing on bootup?
[13:41] <Morten_> theadmin, maniac? :)
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> kernel/grub could be missconfigured soits trying to find / or somthing on the wrong hard drive if some are plugged in
[13:42] <Morten_> Dr_Willis, it crashes randomly. sometimes it works fine for hours before it crashes, sometimes it doesn't crash at all.
[13:42] <tdn> since I installed 11.04 on my lenovo s10 netbook, my wifi is very flaky. I have installed the restricte STA driver, however, it does not work very well. It works for a while then net stops working. In 10.10 I used the other restricted driver BCM-something. It worked well. How do I get that now?
[13:42] <Morten_> Dr_Willis, the external drive isn't plugged in during boot.
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> Morten_:  that sounds like a possible hard drive starting to fail. I had similer things happen last week whent he HD with my / onit was going bad.
[13:42] <s3r3n1t7> Morten_, the dmesg from the crash might contain very useful information. Could you supply that?
[13:42] <Morten_> Dr_Willis, the external?
[13:43] <Morten_> s3r3n1t7, how do I do that?
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> Morten_: monitor dmesg output and the /var/log/* stuff
[13:43] <tdn> since I installed 11.04 on my lenovo s10 netbook, my wifi is very flaky. I have installed the restricte STA driver, however, it does not work very well. It works for a while then net stops working. In 10.10 I used the other restricted driver: bcm43 or b43 or something. My NIC is: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY.   How do I fix this?

[13:44] <Dr_Willis> No idea.I dont use it. checkits settings/help
[13:45] <Morten_> s3r3n1t7, the one called dmesg.0 ?
[13:45] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: It's a fork of OpenOffice, so if you know how to do it with that, it could help
[13:45] <Morten_> seems to be the one from my previous crash (when I look at the time)
[13:45] <s3r3n1t7> Morten_, that could be the one, i'm not sure on the name. Could you pastebin it?
[13:45] <Morten_> sure, 2 sec
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> theadmin:  nope. dont use OO either.
[13:46] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: Vim then? :D

[13:58] <prashant_tech> how to update network manager
[14:00] <theadmin> ronr_: Obviously, if you aren't using bash then it's your other shell-rc file
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> prashant_tech:  sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade   will update everything.
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> !vpn
[14:01] <s3r3n1t7> Z30, can you be more specific? How are you trying to access it? Can you access the internet? Does your VPN work?
[14:01] <BluesKaj> prashant_tech, there's no update if you're on 11.04 , and used apt to update lately
[14:01] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, ok
[14:01] <janisozaur> I have a program that uses OpenGL, it uses autotools to find if -lGL is supported. it is not, because there is no libGL.a in my system. I'd like to build it with ogl support - do I have to install libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev (pure software rasterizer) and later on point the program to GL.so provided by my gpu driver? or somehow trick the autotools to use only -lGLU (that compiles fine)?
[14:01] <BluesKaj> prashant_tech, what's your issue with NM?
[14:02] <ph88> so what's the coolest game for ubuntu ?

[14:03] <s3r3n1t7> Z30, that's correct, because you can only be connected to 1 VPN, else it's no longer a secure connection.
[14:04] <Z30> i need to do that! how i can do that?
[14:04] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, solution
[14:04] <theadmin> Z30: You can't, that's it
[14:05] <BluesKaj> prashant_tech, open a terminal , sudo ifconfig eth0 up then run sudo dhclient eth0
[14:05] <ronr_> theadmin: worked like a charm. thanks for the pointers.
[14:05] <theadmin> BluesKaj: He's on a PPPoE
[14:05] <BluesKaj> oops
[14:05] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, i m using static ip address
[14:06] <Z30> can i install any program that i can connect to VPN?
[14:06] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, no response when sudo dhclient eth0
[14:06] <BluesKaj> prashant_tech, did you configure /etc/network /interfaces file for staic IP
[14:07] <BluesKaj> err static
[14:07] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, i will post the interfaces
[14:07] <s3r3n1t7> Z30, you can create VPN's manually (see !vpn) and it _might_ be possible to create multiple VPN's that way. However, NM only supports 1 active VPN at a time.

[14:09] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, dont want to use pon dsl-provider
[14:10] <Davy420> hello all
[14:10] <BluesKaj> prashant_tech,  why are you using PPPoE , is it required by your workplace or did someone suggest it ?
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> b0ot:  you could write your own iptables rules I think
[14:11] <COBOL2121> If Christians are flying about in the air, what if the US air defences mistake them for incoming missiles?
[14:11] <COBOL2121> Would be embarresing to shoot down Jesus
[14:11] <s3r3n1t7> b0ot, as you can see from the following site, you can redirect packages using this method. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-port-redirection-with-iptables/
[14:11] <b0ot> Dr_Willis, any idea on where I might start on learning how to do to that
[14:11] <prashant_tech> bluenemo, i think my provider only support pppoe
[14:11] <Pici> COBOL2121: This is the Ubuntu support channel, you're in the wrong place.

[14:15] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, how to do that please tell me
[14:15] <s3r3n1t7> b0ot, it redirects to #Netfilter. Are you currently registered? If not, that might be useful.

[14:20] <TheCompWiz> anyone know a way to do a similar task to "sysprep" on ubuntu?
[14:20] <BluesKaj> prashant_tech, admin told me you were using pppoe  to connect ..it's a script for getting dsl connection with out network manager afaik
[14:21] <theadmin> TheCompWiz: I don't think Ubiquity, the installer of Ubuntu, has automation of any sort :/
[14:21] <BluesKaj> especially if you're using a static IP , prashant_tech
[14:21] <sebastia1> too bad, k cu.
[14:22] <TheCompWiz> theadmin: you can do automated installs... but I have a running "image" of what I want... and I want to remove things like the hostname & let it auto-set it & such to make a distributable image.
[14:22] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, but when  i connect using pppoeconf sometimes it dont get connect so thats why i m using network manager
[14:22] <lamiska> anybody know how to install newest mono (2.10) into lucid? i tried to look for some ppa but didnt find any
[14:23] <theadmin> TheCompWiz: You'll probably want remastersys, who knows
[14:23] <BluesKaj> network manager isn't needed if you setup /etc/network/interfaces  with static IP , prashant_tech
[14:24] <new_kid1> Hi ............I just installed Balsa email client .........It has sound notification feature ...... but I want to use my own custom wav file ....How do I do that?
[14:24] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, so u mean that if i use pppoeconf i have to use /etc/network/interfaces with static ip
[14:26] <BluesKaj> theadmin, toldme you're using a ststic IP ,. is this correct, prashant_tech ?
[14:26] <Vustom> I installed CoverGloobus 1.7 on Ubuntu 11.4 using the .deb, and when I launch CoverGloobus theres a GNOME windows around it; instead of it being transparent, how to fix this?

[14:26] <theadmin> BluesKaj: He said it himself
[14:26] <theadmin> BluesKaj: I only said he's on PPPOE
[14:26] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, yes because i have <IP_ADDRESS> ip on my router
[14:26] <rumpe1> Vustom, compiz active?
[14:27] <Vustom> I have Compiz installed for Unity; yeah.
[14:27] <theadmin> prashant_tech: Can't you configure the router to auto-connect to the PPPoE?
[14:27] <prashant_tech> theadmin, yep
[14:27] <Vustom> CompizConfig Manager
[14:27] <Vustom> Settings Manager*

[14:34] <Mac_Weber> how to use aptitutde to install python-pynotify-0.9.2 on ubuntu 10.04?

[14:35] <b0ot> rumpe1, what about the most feature filled way
[14:35] <quick-> fumanchu182:  download songbird from http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/SongBird-Download-18926.html and manually install it
[14:35] <quick-> theadmin: thanks for help :)
[14:36] <fumanchu182> quick-, hehe, just pulled down the svn for nightinggale and am building it now

[14:40] <kostodo> Hi guys, a little lost with Ubuntu. Running the latest version, and would like to install an SSH server. How would I do that?
[14:40] <compdoc> the software manager
[14:40] <iceroot> kostodo: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[14:40] <ThinkT510> !ssh | kostodo
[14:40] <Abiotic> anyone knows how to install windows 7 to external HDD? I'm getting error that you can't install win to usb device
[14:41] <iceroot> Abiotic: ##windows
[14:41] <ThinkT510> Abiotic: this is ubuntu support
[14:41] <kostodo> iceroot: and theres no way to do that through the gui?
[14:41] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, http://imagebin.org/154036
[14:41] <szal> !sshd | kostodo
[14:41] <ronr_> theadmin: hi again, say, if I edit the /etc/environment file instead, those changes will affect all users?
[14:41] <iceroot> kostodo: sure
[14:41] <theadmin> ronr_: Not sure what that file is *blush*
[14:41] <iceroot> kostodo: install the package "openssh-server"
[14:41] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, there is screenshot
[14:41] <theadmin> ronr_: But /etc/bash.bashrc will interest you too.
[14:42] <iceroot> kostodo: but because of its hard to descripe steps for a gui (and i dont use a gui for that) i cant help you with that
[14:42] <kostodo> iceroot: yeah i tried that but its not showing up in my list when i try search it in ubuntu software center
[14:42] <b0ot> How would I go about creating a  website interface to allow anyone on my network to do VoD of all my videos on my ubuntu laptop, and them to be able to select a few video streams from my laptop through some sort of a web interface?
[14:42] <quick-> fumanchu182: from where u downloading nightangel ? share the link
[14:42] <ronr_> theadmin: I thought you're the admin ;)
[14:43] <Blackadder> hi anyone in here familiar with cron
[14:43] <iceroot> Blackadder: just ask the real question
[14:43] <Pici> Blackadder: Sure, whats the question?
[14:43] <theadmin> Blackadder: I'm listening
[14:43] <iceroot> kostodo: just use "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openssh-server"
[14:43] <fumanchu182> svn co https://ngale.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ngale ngale
[14:43] <fumanchu182> you have to build it
[14:43] <theadmin> Gosh, SVN :/ Everyone should switch to git!
[14:43] <Blackadder> the question is I have nan application under root which keeps disconnecting every 15 minutes & requires ./start1
[14:44]  * theadmin is being crazy, sorry
[14:44] <Blackadder> so how may I create a cron so I do not have to do that manually
[14:44] <iceroot> Blackadder: */15 * * * * root /path/to/script/script.sh
[14:45] <kostodo> iceroot: so how do i discover the names for the packages if i cant search them?
[14:45] <kostodo> i will have to come back here for each thing i want to install
[14:45] <theadmin> kostodo: You can, apt-cache search lol
[14:45] <kostodo> like next is LAMP
[14:45] <iceroot> kostodo: apt-cache search string  will give you the package names
[14:45] <iceroot> kostodo: lamp = "sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin"
[14:46] <Blackadder> understaood nso */15 I unhderstand but what are the ****
[14:46] <compdoc> kostodo, you arent running a desktop gui?
[14:46] <rumpe1> iceroot, hehe... not phpmyadmin. lol. ^^
[14:46] <Blackadder> the rest is easy stuff
[14:46] <theadmin> iceroot: Erm... No, tasksel install lamp
[14:46] <theadmin> iceroot: ^^
[14:46] <kostodo> compdoc: yeah i am but if i search apache or php or openssh in software center it doesnt show anything
[14:46] <iceroot> theadmin: never used it
[14:47] <kostodo> iceroot:  does that install PHP and mysql too?
[14:47] <iceroot> kostodo: yes
[14:47] <iceroot> kostodo: php apache mysql and phpmyadmin
[14:47] <theadmin> kostodo: Don't use the software center, use Synaptic.
[14:47] <kostodo> ah crap just saw the rest of your command
[14:47] <compdoc> kostodo, true, there are a couple of things missing there, but not alll
[14:47] <kostodo> sorry
[14:47] <kostodo> yeah okay
[14:47] <ChessTeach> I am looking for a keylogger to install so that I can look up lost work. Any have any recommendations. I am just looking for something that would make it easy to find snippets of code that I wrote and stupidly deleted
[14:47] <iceroot> ChessTeach: your backup
[14:48] <iceroot> ChessTeach: or your version control software
[14:48] <ChessTeach> iceroot: i should be using that more, i know
[14:48] <BluesKaj> ok prashant_tech , looks to me like you have a successful script connecting you using the pppoe script to dsl , if you probs rendering some web pages it just maybe that you havent installed ubuntu restricted extras which installs flash java and multimedia codecs
[14:48] <ChessTeach> iceroot: I plan on doing that too, but a second backup would be good too
[14:49] <BluesKaj> prashant_tech, ubuntu-restricted -extras
[14:50] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, last time i have installed all those things
[14:51] <velcroshooz> anyone have experience with pulseaudio and 5.1 speakers? not sure how to set this up
[14:51] <kostodo> iceroot: is there anything else i might need for lamp? like any additional stuff for php or apache etc?
[14:51] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, my software center says ubuntu restricted extras installed
[14:51] <kostodo> iceroot: i will need to install Drupal on this
[14:52] <ChesterX> hey, where can I find the installed apps executables?
[14:52] <mbeierl> ChesterX: was it installed via apt or software center, etc?
[14:52] <fumanchu182> quick-, if you build it follow these instructions http://getnightingale.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=28
[14:53] <BluesKaj> prashant_tech, then I think that if you have pppoe script connecting you don't need NM , the script does the work to connect ...is this correct theadmin ?
[14:53] <theadmin> BluesKaj: Correct, pon handles that
[14:53] <ChesterX> mbeierl, I think it was apt, although I am not sure. (What does that imply for their location?)
[14:54] <mbeierl> ChesterX: if it is a package that was installed, the dpkg command can list where it put things.  For example "dpkg -L linux-headers-generic" lists the locations of all the files that were installed for the linux-headers-generic package
[14:54] <theadmin> ChesterX: Typically, you don't need to search for them.
[14:55] <theadmin> ChesterX: Because they are in your $PATH, so you can, for instance, just type "firefox" and have firefox running.
[14:55] <mbeierl> ChesterX: provided you know the name of the package that was installed.  The other way is if all you know is the name of an executable, you can use "which firefox" to see where firefox is found
[14:55] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, but when i connect using pppoeconf i.e pon dsl-provider sometimes it does not connect i have to redo the pppoeconf again and again
[14:55] <quick-> fumanchu182:  i can build it myself
[14:55] <Guest23131> why can't I install anything?
[14:55] <theadmin> Guest23131: Sorry, what?
[14:56] <Guest23131> I can't install anything
[14:56] <ronr_> how do I move a process running in the foreground to the background?
[14:56] <quick-> fumanchu182: thank you
[14:56] <theadmin> ronr_: Ctrl+Z, typically, if you mean on a TTY or a terminal
[14:56] <mbeierl> ronr_: in a terminal?  ctrl-z then "bg"
[14:56] <quick-> Guest23131:  do you have space ?
[14:56] <quick-> Guest23131:  do you have space to install ?
[14:57] <Guest23131> yeah
[14:57] <ChesterX> mbeierl, I am trying to change the basic start-up application with which ff opens .doc when downloaded (to openoffice writer)
[14:57] <ronr_> theadmin, mbeierl: thanks
[14:57] <theadmin> ChesterX: It's on Firefox's "Content" tab in preferences.
[14:57] <mbeierl> ChesterX: that's actually a mime-type association in firefox and should not require the changing of files on the file system
[14:58] <mbeierl> ChesterX: :) what admin said, in other words
[14:58] <b0ot> I downloaded apache2... what do I need so that I'm able to host php files
[14:58] <b0ot> I wrote a very simple php page but it doesn't show up
[14:58] <Guest23131> can I restore if yes how?
[14:59] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, ?????
[14:59] <theadmin> b0ot: You need PHP, obviously.
[14:59] <schnuffle> b0ot: install mod_php5 ctivate it and t should work
[14:59] <BluesKaj> theadmin, then prashant_tech he should diable or remove network manager, I think it's interfering and by trying to connect because itdoesn't recognize the pppoe connection script
[14:59] <ChesterX> ^^ I know where I can change the option, the issue is that I have to manually choose the oo writer executable to enable it properly (which I can t find)
[15:00] <theadmin> ChesterX: Ah. "which soffice".
[15:00] <schnuffle> b0ot: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
[15:00] <mbeierl> ChesterX: ah.  that would be a simple "which soffice".  theadmin - you keep beating me to it :)
[15:00] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, i do connect via ppoeconf while having network manager installed but some times it dont work at all
[15:00] <BluesKaj> prashant_tech, pls have some patience ... I'm trying research this
[15:00] <prashant_tech> BluesKaj, thanks very much
[15:01] <thunderst> I am having a problem. When i am booting i get two versions of ubuntu. Please help.
[15:01] <schnuffle> b0ot: sudo a2enmod php5 && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[15:02] <quick-> thunderst:  wat are the options ?
[15:02] <Roasted> Question - on my CIFS file server, I used Deja Dup to back up my home directory into a bunch of tar.gz files. Now that it completed, I cannot view anything in the share. I get - Sorry, could not display all the contents of "jason": Invalid argument.  However, I can view it just fine in Windows. What in the world?
[15:02] <thunderst> Ubuntu_linux genric version.......... I have windows 7 and ubuntu.

[15:03] <lovers> hi
[15:03] <quick-> lovers:  hi :)
[15:04] <ChesterX> theadmin, mbeierl, thank you both for your help. It was exactly what i was looking for!
[15:04] <lovers> how are you

[15:06] <schone> is there an issue way to create a symbolic link on a ubuntu box to another ubuntu box?
[15:07] <schnuffle> schone: why not export the flesystem and mount it?
[15:07] <BluesKaj> prashant_tech, I don't use network manager , I aslo have a static IP but it's configured in /etc/network/interfaces , I let that file do my connection.  .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/610098/
[15:07] <ThinkT510> lovers: this is ubuntu support, for general chat go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:08] <ThinkT510> oh, he left
[15:08] <quick-> t see u later pple
[15:08] <DarkKnightCZ> hi, is there some thing, how to detect app that has command sendmail?
[15:09] <spot_>  does anyone know what Unity calls that feature where the windows get maximized to the left or right when you drag a window against the side of the screen?
[15:09] <velcroshooz> anyone have experience with pulseaudio and 5.1 speakers? not sure how to set this up
[15:10] <theadmin> spot_: I think it's docking, cause that's what I'd call it. BTW, GNOME did that too
[15:10] <theadmin> !find sendmail
[15:10] <Taev> is there a way to upgrade my current ubuntu install to the latest distro?
[15:10] <spot_> theadmin, and windows 7 ;)
[15:10] <Taev> I downloaded the CD but there doesnt seem to be an upgrade option
[15:10] <spot_> but that's not what i've heard it called before
[15:10] <jrib> !upgrade | Taev
[15:10] <theadmin> DarkKnightCZ: The package is "sendmail".
[15:11] <theadmin> !info sendmail | DarkKnightCZ
[15:11] <BluesKaj> prashant_tech, personally I think NM is causing your problem, pon is setup to autoconnect, so you don't need NM
[15:12] <spot_> SNAP
[15:12] <DarkKnightCZ> theadmin: every that thing is removed, so why have i in /var/log/mail.log this - sm-mta[13209]
[15:12] <spot_> that's what it's called
[15:12] <Jcook_5xData> anyone know of a hack to change work wrap in Evolution
[15:12] <theadmin> DarkKnightCZ: No idea...
[15:12] <spot_> thank you theadmin
[15:12] <Jcook_5xData> word*
[15:12] <antivirtel> hello! I'm looking for a tool, that shows me what are my optical drives can read/write (eg. DVD+RW, DVD DL....) any software related?
[15:13] <theadmin> antivirtel: I think any disc burner would do that
[15:13] <Cool_Geek> hi room
[15:13] <Jcook_5xData> Anyone know of a hack to change word wrap in Evolution?
[15:14] <antivirtel> ok theadmin, and brasero or gnomebaker how can it display? - I want to find the proper drive, but I have a lots of computers...
[15:14] <Cool_Geek> I am completely new to Ubuntu (and Linux in general), and have been fighting for over a week now trying to get an Ad-Hoc connection set up
[15:14] <DarkKnightCZ> theadmin: so is there a way how to check what package has "sendmail" bash command?
[15:14] <hiexpo> how can i tell what boot loader unetbootin used to install an os ?
[15:14] <galerien> Hi ! I have a UTF8 textfile and I need iso8859-1, anyone know how to re-encode this ?
[15:15] <galerien> (I'm using linux, but mac and windows apps are welcome too)
[15:15] <theadmin> DarkKnightCZ: dpkg-query -S `which sendmail`
[15:15] <joe_9> In Nataualis permissions tab, when I check "Allow executing file as program" it is immediately unchecked. How can I get that setting to stay?
[15:16] <theadmin> joe_9: Set that permission via the terminal, like this: sudo chmod a+x '/path/to/some/file.ext'
[15:16] <DarkKnightCZ> theadmin: dpkg: *which sendmail* not found.
[15:16] <theadmin> DarkKnightCZ: Sure you typed it right? Those are backticks, not single quotes, near 1 on the standard US keyboard.
[15:17] <anthony_dev> hey guys. I got atom450(64bit) netbook. ubuntu site recommending 32bit version. is it more stable?
[15:17] <DarkKnightCZ> oh, ok, wait
[15:17] <DarkKnightCZ> lol?
[15:17] <DarkKnightCZ> postfix: /usr/sbin/sendmail
[15:17] <Cool_Geek> Does anybody have experience getting an Adhoc connection set up using a Broadcom BCM4318 network adapter?
[15:17] <joe_9> theadmin, that doesn't work either
[15:17] <DarkKnightCZ> why the hell is postfix using sendmail?
[15:17] <arand> anthony_dev: No.
[15:18] <erix> Hi all
[15:18] <syrinx_> o/
[15:18] <DirtyDawg> \o
[15:19] <anthony_dev> ok, any experience with ubuntu 11.04 on emachines 350? will it work fine and smooth ?
[15:19] <erix> I would like to back /etc/ , /root/,  /var/www/ directories with duply
[15:19] <Galaxor> I vaguely recall that when I bought my computer, I downloaded the wireless driver from realtek.  Probably a bad move, not using some sort of repository.  Now I need to update my driver.  Should I download from realtek again, or how do I move away from that to using something from a repo?
[15:19] <erix> How I can do that?
[15:19] <erix> backup*
[15:20] <arand> anthony_dev: Some obscure software or hardware may only have 32bit support, therefore 32bit has a minor up when it comes to compatibility. I guess therefore this was choosen to be the default download.
[15:20] <syrinx_> Galaxor: is it a supported driver or did you need to use ndiswrapper?
[15:20] <antivirtel> hello! I'm looking for a tool, that shows me what are my optical drives can read/write (eg. DVD+RW, DVD DL....) any software related?
[15:21] <theadmin> DarkKnightCZ: It's the "postfix" package, then.
[15:21] <anthony_dev> arand thank you
[15:22] <panfist> i'm trying to install maverick on an old system (was having problems with natty), and now i'm running into problems with maverick too. i'm just trying to get the system up to date, and it keeps crashing when updating software center
[15:22] <compdoc> panfist, might not be the OS
[15:22] <Galaxor> syrinx_: There is a linux kernel module.  I must've installed the driver in the 9.10 era and then distupgraded to 10.04.  According to this, the driver has entered the repo since then.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Realtek%208172
[15:22] <panfist> when i want to remove the software center, it says i have to remove ubuntu-desktop too, and i'm not sure if that's a good thing
[15:23] <galerien> panfist, define "old system" please ;)
[15:23] <panfist> compdoc: it boots into windows just fine, memory test fine, cpu burn test fine, hard disk test fine
[15:23] <panfist> pentium 4 2.4ghz, s3 graphics
[15:23] <galerien> panfist, memory ? (ram and hard disk) ?
[15:24] <panfist> 256mb ram, 20GB hd
[15:24] <fumanchu182> Within unity I am looking for something to get to the desktop fast, thorugh all the windows are open, had an icon in the last version of gnome is there a button for unity?
[15:24] <compdoc> panfist, Ive seen bad hardware boot one OS fine but not another. but that is kinda old
[15:24] <panfist> well any test i can think of running, it passed
[15:24] <panfist> although i know what you mean
[15:24] <compdoc> which version of windows?
[15:24] <Roasted> What am I doing wrong? sudo mount -t nfs <IP_ADDRESS>:/mnt/NAS/jason /media/NFS/
[15:24] <galerien> panfist, ok, that should work, but your ram is really tiny, try the alternate
[15:25] <panfist> galerien: i know, if i could find some ddr1 that is reasonably priced, i would buy it
[15:26] <towy72> panfist, I have a slightly less powerful machine than that but more RAM and it works fine
[15:26] <galerien> panfist, did you try the alternate
[15:26] <compdoc> I have tonnes of ddr - wish I could get rid of it
[15:26] <panfist> galerien: no
[15:26] <joe_9> I am using to command "sudo chmod +x arm-eabi-gcc", and yet I am still not able to execute the application afterward. What could be the problem?
[15:26] <panfist> i have a feeling its a graphics problem because when i tried to upgrade from a plain console it threw some error about not being able to get a gtk display, and then proceeded with the rest of the package ops just fine
[15:27] <schnuffle> Roasted: at least the mount point is missing e.g. sudo mount -t nfs <IP_ADDRESS>:/mnt/NAS/jason /media/NFS/ /mnt and then it depends on how you export the share on the server
[15:27] <panfist> the error was when it reached the software center package
[15:27] <Roasted> schmidtm, /media/NFS is the mount point
[15:27] <panfist> apparently its ok to remove it along with 'ubuntu-desktop' so i'm trying that.
[15:27] <schnuffle> Aaah missed tht space
[15:28] <schnuffle> Roasted: how did you expot the share on the nfs server?
[15:28] <Roasted> schmidtm, /mnt/NAS/jason it says
[15:28] <Galaxor> syrinx_: Oh,never mind.  dpkg -S /lib/modules/2.6.32-30-generic/kernel/ubuntu/rtl8192se/r8192se_pci.ko shows that the file is indeed provided by the linux-image-2.6.32-30-generic package.
[15:28] <galerien> panfist, alternate cds are supposed to work on low power pcs... so, try it !
[15:28] <jazzyjef> need help with crontab can anyone help me... maverick
[15:28] <Roasted> schnuffle, that was to you
[15:28] <syrinx_> Galaxor: :D
[15:28] <panfist> galerien: but that's just the installation process, right? i'm already passed that
[15:28] <jrib> jazzyjef: you need to be more specific
[15:29] <en1gma> i did this command yesterday to find out today i can no longer boot into ubuntu...i can boot into win7 still and it is the default OS but i can no longer boot into ubuntu after i select it in grub
[15:29] <en1gma> sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/05_os-prober
[15:29] <en1gma> sudo update-grub
[15:29] <Galaxor> Dang.  Then I don't know how to update my driver.  The university here has installed something on their routers that is known to cause problems with my card.  I can't connect to the wireless.  They said that the latest update from realtek would fix that.
[15:29] <galerien> panfist, oh, right, sorry
[15:29] <panfist> galerien: the alternate installer doesn't result in a different OS once you are through the install process, does it? like a different kernel or set of services/configuration?
[15:29] <en1gma> can someone help me get back into ubuntu
 i am trying to reload autofs config every three hours, if i do /etc/init.d/autofs reload.... i get the message you service....if i use /sbin/reload autofs it is unable to restart the job
[15:30] <galerien> panfist, well, you get more configurations options, for low ram computers for example...
[15:30] <jrib> jazzyjef: why do you want to reload autofs every 3 hours?
[15:30] <panfist> ahh i see. i guess i'll give it a try if i run into any more problems
[15:31] <en1gma> i would really like to be able to boot back into my ubuntu
 a program tries to  mount directories which are not there and eventually the service hangs
[15:31] <jrib> !away > x-ip
[15:31] <ronr_> if I install an application manually, which is the 'proper' directory to place the application folders? /opt? /usr/share?
[15:31] <x-ip> ou sorry
[15:32] <schnuffle> ronr_:  /opt or /usr/local
[15:32] <x-ip> i have to say to my workmates when i am 'away'
[15:32] <en1gma> yawn
[15:32] <zl0y> hello guys
[15:32] <jrib> x-ip: use « /away reason » without changing your nick
[15:32] <zl0y> can anybody tell me, how can I enable 256 colors fro rxvt-unicode?
[15:33] <x-ip> ok jrib , i'll do it :)
[15:33] <ronr_> schnuffle: what/s the difference (logically) between /usr/local and /usr/share?
[15:33] <jrib> x-ip: thank you :)
[15:33] <en1gma> i can not boot into ubuntu anymore after running this command 'sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/05_os-prober && sudo update-grub'
 any ideas ?
[15:33] <jrib> jazzyjef: I don't see how restarting the service every 3 hours is a real solution
[15:33] <llutz> en1gma: "chmod +x /etc/grub.d/*" "chmod -x /etc/grub.d/40_custom" "mv /etc/grub.d/05_os-prober /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober" "update-grub"
[15:34] <en1gma> llutz im in win7....do i do that from the live cd?
[15:34] <schnuffle> ronr_:  /usr/share keeps all te non binary stuff /usr/local is a complete tree with etc var .....
[15:34] <schnuffle> *the non binary
 its a work around i have already submitted a bug
[15:34] <llutz> en1gma: yes, mount your ubuntu-/ somewhere and use commands above, change path tothe mountpoint
[15:34] <theadmin> Ubuntu packages have a bad habit of installing into /usr/local/ often.
[15:34] <ronr_> schnuffle: so putting tomcat7 in /usr/share wasn't a good idea? :)
[15:34] <theadmin> It should, technically, be entirely under user's control
[15:35] <en1gma> llutz do i need to do a chroot
[15:35] <jrib> jazzyjef: does « sudo service autofs restart » work ok in a shell?
[15:35] <llutz> en1gma: nope
[15:35] <jrib> theadmin: no they don't
[15:35] <llutz> en1gma: aeh, stop, to update grub you need, sorry
[15:35] <en1gma> sudo ?
[15:35] <theadmin> jrib: Well, the third-party packages.
[15:35] <theadmin> jrib: Made for Ubuntu.
[15:35] <jrib> theadmin: maybe, I wouldn't call them ubuntu packages though
[15:35] <schnuffle> ronr_: it was a bad idea if yousd /usr/share as prefix
[15:36] <llutz> en1gma: all to be done as root/with sudo
[15:36] <theadmin> jrib: There's /opt for those xD
 yes it does
[15:36] <en1gma> ok will try...thanks
[15:36] <jrib> jazzyjef: try that in root's crontab (without the sudo)
[15:36] <Galaxor> Hm.  The latext version of the wireless driver provided by Realtek is 0019.1207.2010.  How do I check the version number that I have installed?
[15:36] <llutz> en1gma: why did you rename os_prober? did you delete 10_linux?
[15:36] <kisplit> so I'm ssh'ed into our old and new dev server sitting as root in both. I was doing an rm -rf on a directory in the old server using absolute paths. I was holding my breath and everything, just thought I'd let you all know
[15:37] <en1gma> llutz so windows 7 would be default OS to boot
 i have , i get the email to use reload utility
[15:37] <llutz> en1gma: don't mess with those files!
[15:37] <en1gma> as per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1308665
[15:37] <en1gma> i followed a guide
 and reload does not work, the time stamp on the job does not change
[15:37] <jrib> jazzyjef: pastebin
[15:37] <llutz> en1gma: to disable them, chmod -x <file>
[15:37] <en1gma> windows 7 is booting good as default but somewhere ubuntu got lost
[15:37] <jazzyjef> what is pastebin
[15:38] <llutz> en1gma: because you removed 10_linux
[15:38] <snoeman> I have just obtained and installed a wireless nic in my laptop. It has an atheros AR2413A chipset. The wireless reception is excellent. However the connection speed is about 0.25Mpbs. Completely unusable. Can anyone suggest a solution to my speed problem?
[15:38] <jrib> !pastebin | jazzyjef
[15:38] <en1gma> llutz i dont see how....i gonna look...i have ext2fs for win7
[15:38] <jrib> jazzyjef: can you pastebin the mail you recieved?
[15:38] <jazzyjef> Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
[15:38] <jazzyjef> utility, e.g. service autofs reload
[15:38] <jazzyjef> Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
[15:38] <jazzyjef> Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload autofs
[15:38] <jazzyjef> /etc/init.d/autofs: 85: reload: not found
[15:38] <FloodBot1> jazzyjef: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:39] <jrib>  jazzyjef that indicates you did not use « service autofs restart » in your crontab
[15:39] <jon8> how can i tar.gz my ENTIRE /home/jon8/ BUT EXCLUDE /home/jon8/binaries/ --- But include everything else
[15:39] <Guest17778> i'm recently getting the following message when connecting to freenode. Could someone tell my why, or direct me to a source that could explain it, please?      This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>.

[15:39] <Galaxor> Galaxor:  Thanks.
[15:40] <jon8> Guest17778, /join #freenode
[15:40] <en1gma> llutz 10_linux is still there
[15:40] <Guest17778> jon8,,, thanks
[15:40] <theadmin> jon8: Simply.
[15:40] <en1gma> sudo update-grub must be broke
[15:40] <llutz> en1gma: is it executable?
[15:40] <en1gma> umm lemme check
[15:40] <syrinx_> Galaxor: dmesg | grep "wlan" also workds
[15:40] <jon8> theadmin??
[15:40] <theadmin> jon8: tar cvzf blah.tar.gz /home/jon8 --exclude=/home/jon8/binaries
[15:40] <syrinx_> s/workds/works/g
 i am running it now i iwll show you the emessage
[15:40] <en1gma> yep its executable
[15:41] <jon8> theadmin thank you
[15:41] <llutz> en1gma: then the execution of os_prober before 10_linux might cause the problem. not sure
[15:41] <jon8> i just found this
[15:41] <jon8> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1053065/linux-tar-command-compressing-a-directory-but-exluding-subdirectories
[15:41] <jon8> right after i asked :((
[15:41] <Philipp2007> ubuntu-ru
[15:41] <syrinx_> !ru | Philipp2007
[15:41] <en1gma> ok i gonna try and mv it back to where it came from :)
 i get "exec: 129: reload: not found"
[15:42] <en1gma> how can i run sudo update-grub if im not logged in that os
[15:42] <en1gma> from live cd
[15:42] <llutz> en1gma: restore original state, then create a 40_custom with your win7 + your ubuntu
[15:42] <llutz> en1gma: you've to chroot
[15:42] <en1gma> everytime i update kernel i will lose that boot order
[15:42] <llutz> en1gma: nope, just use /vmlinuz as kernel-path
[15:42] <en1gma> could you tell me the command to chroot that OS
[15:43] <jrib> jazzyjef: show me your crontab
[15:43] <llutz> en1gma: that one always points to the newest kernel
 43 10 * * * service autofs reload
[15:43] <llutz> en1gma: http://www.larsen-b.com/Article/272.html
[15:44] <velcroshooz> does anyone know how to setup pulseaudio for 5.1 surround sound? ive googled and the solutions dont seem to work
[15:44] <jrib> jazzyjef: you're sure you want to use "reload" and not "restart".  In any case, add /sbin to your PATH (in crontab)
[15:44] <en1gma> ok i need to just 'sudo mv 05_os-prober /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober' and then run 'sudo update-grub' right
[15:44] <llutz> en1gma: yes, make sure to use correct pathes
[15:45] <jazzyjef> ok i changed it to restart same message exec 129
[15:45] <en1gma> ok thanks
[15:45] <llutz> en1gma: chmod -x 40_custom
[15:45] <jrib> jazzyjef: ... In any case, add /sbin to your PATH (in crontab)
[15:45] <en1gma> i think i going to leave default os alone and just get it back so i can boot
[15:45] <en1gma> at least for now
[15:45] <snoeman> Can I re-phrase my earlier question.Where can I get a better driver for my atheros AR2413A nic I am using ubuntu 11.04
[15:45] <llutz> en1gma: just to get a working situation, you could create a new 40_custom then
[15:46] <en1gma> cant i just mv os-prober back to original?
 ok trying it now
[15:46] <llutz> en1gma: try it, idk if your 40_custom conflicts with something else
[15:46] <syrinx_> snoeman: atheros drivers are built into the kernel, should work just fine
[15:47] <en1gma> ok will be back soon i hope
[15:47] <llutz> good luck :)
 exec: 129: restart: not found
[15:47] <Marezz> Whos using chromium here?
[15:47] <Galaxor> Marezz: Me.
[15:47] <syrinx_> and me
[15:47] <ThinkT510> Marezz: me too
[15:47] <CheezWah> I use Chromium
[15:47] <jrib> jazzyjef: what does your crontab look like now?
[15:47] <Galaxor> Marezz: (but also firefox)
 47 10 * * * /usr/sbin/service autofs restart
[15:47] <snoeman> syrinx_ The speeds I obtain are very bad but wireless reception is good.
[15:48] <Marezz> Im using chromium (13.0.767.0 (Developer Build 0 Linux)) and I cant install extensions?
[15:48] <Marezz> why?
[15:48] <jrib> jazzyjef: actually, an easier way is to use reload (or restart) with full path.  That way you don't have to mess with PATH in crontab.  So try: /sbin/restart autofs
[15:48] <ThinkT510> Marezz: whats wrong with the one in the repo?
[15:48] <Onryo> chromium does not have enough add-ons yet. Far from it imho
 I have i will try it again
[15:49] <sbarcteam> hi.
[15:49] <Marezz> ThinkT510, That is the one from the repo
[15:49] <Guest44591> i luv ubuntu but      will i get all those software to download in a dvd . bcoz i hv slow net.
[15:49] <sbarcteam> I have noticed the default python in ubuntu 11.04 is 2.7
[15:49] <sbarcteam> Is there a way to make the default python another version ?
[15:49] <ThinkT510> Marezz: the ubuntu repo
[15:49] <ThinkT510> Marezz: mine is at 11.something
[15:50] <Marezz> ThinkT510, Nah its suse repo but distro doesnt matter in this case :/
[15:50] <Onryo> I would like to see NoScript, Modify Headers, No Referrer, Adblock Plus, BetterPrivacy, Calomel SSL Validation in Chromium.
 it worked man
[15:50] <ThinkT510> Marezz: then ask in the proper channel
[15:50] <jrib> jazzyjef: cool
[15:50] <Marezz> ThinkT510, I asked about chromium, not suse :S
 i have been trying reload
[15:51] <ThinkT510> Marezz: it could be a packaging problem, in that case a suse problem, not ubuntu
[15:51] <DirtyDawg> Onryo: chrome had adblock doesnt it
[15:51] <Onryo> I am doing my best to port them to Chromium but its a hell of a lot of work.
[15:52] <Marezz> ThinkT510, No no, everything is fine its just saying that my chromium is not supported yet and Im wondering why
[15:52] <Onryo> DirtyDang it might have ABP
[15:52] <ThinkT510> Marezz: ask the people in suse, this is the ubuntu support channel
[15:52] <Pici> Marezz: You just said you're not using Ubuntu. We do not provide support for any other distros here. Period.
[15:52] <ThinkT510> Marezz: 13 isn't released as stable yet
[15:53] <Marezz> Pici, I was asking about CHROMIUM BROWSER not about distro
[15:53] <Onryo> Marezz I am using a Ubuntu flavor of GNU/Linux
[15:53] <ixe_la> my display in 11.04 has gone black, showing only mouse pointer, unlock dialog won't come up. is there any way to unlock it from the text console?
[15:53] <Onryo> Marezz yeah me too
[15:53] <hmchinh1986> how to check HDD? help ... me
[15:54] <jazzyjef> is there an initramfs group
[15:54] <ThinkT510> jazzyjef: check /etc/group
[15:55] <Pici> Marezz: Then perhaps you should find a chromium support channel that is distro agnostic, because #ubuntu isn't that plac.
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> Marezz: why do you come to #ubuntu?
[15:55] <Onryo> hmchinh1986 df
[15:55] <Mrokii> hello. Is there a way to kill apps with "zombie"-status?
[15:55] <brainAcid> Hi
[15:55] <brainAcid> I have been trying to learn text manipulation
[15:55] <jazzyjef> no no i meant irc group
[15:55] <Marezz> MonkeyDust, Why? Am I not allowed to be here?
[15:55] <brainAcid> I have this file with certain pattern
[15:55] <Onryo> hmchinh1986 df or to make it easy to read df -h
[15:56] <en1gma> llutz when i try and boot the cd i am getting "kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10"  i dont think this has to do with boot loader anymore...yesterday i updated my mboard bios which i think is causing this now
[15:56] <brainAcid> can anyone assist me or point me to the right direction
[15:56] <DirtyDawg> maybee ##linux as its not distro specific
[15:56] <ThinkT510> jazzyjef: oh, sorry no idea
[15:56] <en1gma> i get that same error if i try and boot ubuntu in recovery mode
[15:56] <IdleOne> Mrokii: kill-headshot ZOMBIEPID
[15:56] <hmchinh1986> thanks Onryo
[15:56] <Onryo> DirtyDawg Linux is NOT ubuntu. Linux is just the kernel
[15:57] <brainAcid> cannot send to channel
[15:57] <IdleOne> Mrokii: that was a joke :) I don't think you can kill zombie, I could be wrong though
[15:57] <Onryo> DirtyDawg most of the cmds that are used in "userland" are GNU.
[15:57] <iceroot> Marezz: look with pstree what is the parent-process of the zombie and kill that
[15:57] <iceroot> Mrokii: look with pstree what is the parent-process of the zombie and kill that
[15:57] <Pici> Onryo: I think you may have missed part of the conversation here.
[15:57] <iceroot> Marezz: sorrya wrong nick
[15:58] <Marezz> iceroot, No problem :)
[15:58] <brainAcid> hey
[15:58] <Onryo> Pici Yeah I guess I did. Wish I saw it
[15:58] <jazzyjef> any initramfs gurus

[16:01] <KDEV> is there is any DVD of all software which available in canonical...............help help
[16:01] <syrinx_> surprisingly, pci wifi cards aren't very common anymore :(
[16:01] <syrinx_> I think realtek makes them too
[16:02] <klevison> i wanna instal ubuntu 11.04(64).. but already have w7 and 11.04(32b). Can I instal 11.04(64) too?
[16:02] <syockit> Onryo: I'd flush and unmount before doing that
[16:02] <Onryo> Galaxor e36freak is a god over at #bash
[16:02] <anli_> Maybe I should put a wifi router on the internal network then and keep it away from the router
[16:02] <ThinkT510> klevison: sure, give it its own partition
[16:02] <anli_> Having two routers
[16:02] <syrinx_> anli_: for what?
[16:03] <KDEV> is there is any DVD of all software which available in canonical...............help help
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> klevison:  I just use 64bit on any of my machines that can do 64bit

[16:03] <ThinkT510> !aptoncd | KDEV
[16:03] <anli_> syrinx_: Maybe the best thing I can aim for is a linux router for the wired traffic and putting a dedicated wireless router on the inside network
[16:03] <anli_> We have one, a cisco (for home users)
[16:03] <syrinx_> ah, you want to make a router
[16:03] <anli_> yeah
[16:04] <Mrokii> iceroot: Thank you

[16:05] <AdvoWork> ive got loads of files i moved across from a server > another server. now the date modifieds are all set to the date they got moved across, is there any way i can get the creation date of these files?
[16:05] <Onryo> kisplit here is a script I wrote for the ppl over at Drupal http://drupal.org/node/882760
[16:06] <Galaxor> I have some packages installed from lucid-proposed.  How do I figure out which ones?
[16:06] <KDEV> @ubottu : in which folder i find those downloaded and install software?
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> KDEV:  thers no single folder they insatll to.. If you mean the deb cache. thats in /var/archive/cache i think
[16:07] <syrinx_> KDEV: ubottu is a bot...
[16:07] <kisplit> Onryo: Thanks, but I'm copying multiple repositories, all with different ownerships, etc :p
[16:07] <Onryo> kisplit you have to change it a bit for what you are doing though. I do things the Debian way. The server group is www-data
[16:07] <Onryo> kisplit that could be a bit of work =P
[16:08] <IdleOne> KDEV: Dr_Willis /var/cache/apt/archives
[16:08] <kisplit> Onryo: I like the script though, definitely helpful for that type of problem
[16:08] <Onryo> kisplit enjoy
[16:08] <nsahoo> the launcher panel in ubuntu 11.04 is staying on top of other apps. annoying
[16:09] <klevison> ThinkT510: Dr_Willis can I do this on disk utility?
[16:09] <KDEV> ok ....thx
[16:09] <Dr_Willis> klevison:  do what?
[16:10] <ThinkT510> klevison: you need to boot the cd and partition the drive to install 11.04 on a seperate partition
[16:10] <klevison> Dr_Willis: create a partition to instal 11.04
[16:10] <quiescens> kisplit: easiest way is to just use ssh/tar on both sides rather than scp
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> klevison:  any of the tools like gparted and so on can do that.
[16:11] <klevison> ThinkT510: now .. i`m on live cd.. but i cant create a new partition
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> klevison:  make sure the filesystmes are unmounted
[16:11] <KDEV> can i use othe linux like fedora or suse software DVD
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> klevison:  and you cant have more then 4 primary partitions
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> KDEV:  the disrto dosent matter
[16:12] <kisplit> quiescens and Onryo: I just found the scp -p switch, xD thanks for all the help though :)
[16:12] <toad> hello
[16:12] <klevison> Dr_Willis: how can I know If I already have 4
[16:12] <quiescens> kisplit: um
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> klevison:  look at the disk layout
[16:13] <quiescens> kisplit: i forget but i'm not entirely sure that will keep ownership
[16:14] <czajkowski> veronika: mind if I pm you if you're free ?
[16:14] <klevison> Dr_Willis: ?
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> sda1-4 are primarys
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> 5+ would be logicals on an extended
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> so look at your disk layout with gpar4ed/fdisk/whatever
[16:15] <Mrokii> IdleOne: I assumed that it was a joke.
[16:15] <toad> apturl-common packge cannot be authenticated
[16:15] <toad> :(
[16:15] <dr3mro> how to start gedit with no plugins at all
[16:16] <Dr_Willis> dr3mro:  check gedit --help  yet? if its like firefox theres some --failsafe or other options
[16:16] <dr3mro> Dr_Willis, no there is not
[16:17] <Onryo> kisplit yes that will preserve modes, times etc from the org file. I always use that by mistake since in ssh it is the port =D That might just work for you!
[16:18] <sven_oostenbrink> With what program could I make an image of a red arrow blue?
[16:19] <Dr_Willis> sven_oostenbrink:  gimp
[16:19] <dr3mro> help plz there is no option to start gedit without plugins
[16:19] <quiescens> kisplit: you probably have to use something like ( tar zcf - /directory | ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"tar zxf -" ) if you want to keep ownership and groups properly, rather than just permissions, of course, then you need root level access on both sides and so on
[16:19] <firewave> dr3mro, just desactivated it in the option menu
[16:20] <dr3mro> firewave ... it won't start in the first place
[16:20] <Pici> !away > Aaron5367
[16:20] <sven_oostenbrink> Dr_Willis: Got that :) But I was more looking for some simple command line thing since its such a relatively basic thing to do...
[16:20] <firewave> dr3mro, how do you know it's plugin fault ?
[16:21] <Dr_Willis> sven_oostenbrink:  imagemacick or somthing spelt like that for cli ussage
[16:21] <firewave> dr3mro, Try remove all gedit prefs
[16:21] <Dr_Willis> imagemagick :)
[16:21] <dr3mro> firewave .. is not supposed to be a fail safe start gedit way ?
[16:21] <KDEV> can i change the DASH to bottom
[16:22] <firewave> dr3mro, don't think so, it's so basic.. And never saw it crash..
[16:23] <sven_oostenbrink> Dr_Willis: thanks!
[16:23] <Dr_Willis> KDEV:  as of now.. you cant that ive ever seen.
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> KDEV:  the webupd8 blog site has a list of tweaks and so forth for Unity.
[16:24] <firewave> dr3mro, you can enable or disable every plugin in the pref file
[16:24] <dr3mro> firewave, i think i am gonna wipe all my conf of gedit in ~
[16:24] <dr3mro> tnx
[16:25] <necromancer> my MySQL server on an Ubuntu 8.04 (Joes) VM is failing to start via init.d all of a sudden this morning...what can i do to diagnose/remedy this problem?
[16:26] <Snicers-Work2> First off necromancer you are on a very old version of ubuntu
[16:27] <necromancer> haha yes that's true
[16:27] <ThinkT510> Snicers-Work2: 8.04 lts is still supported
[16:27] <Tobbi> I just successfully established a VPN connection to my university's VPN. Now, the question is: How do I access the network shares on that machine?
[16:27] <necromancer> i believe my boss likes 8 because it was optimized for virtualization
[16:27] <Tobbi> *machines
[16:27] <KDEV> :-)
[16:27] <Dr_Willis> !8.04
[16:28] <Snicers-Work2> necromancer, are you able to check any logs?
[16:28] <Pici> !hardy =~ s/will end/ended/
[16:28] <compdoc> optimized for virtualization?
[16:28] <Dr_Willis> compdoc:  yea.. i was wondering at that statement also..
[16:29] <compdoc> the older it is, the less optimized for virtualization it is
[16:29] <Snicers-Work2> Yeah, it may have been "optimized" at the time, but not as much now.
[16:31] <ThinkT510> Pici: i suppose you need to be authorised to change factoids?
[16:31] <Pici> ThinkT510: Yes. :)
[16:32] <Pici> ThinkT510: anyone can suggest them though, see http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins#Adding_a_factoid
[16:32] <xxiao_> is there a way for me to delete some root-owned files in my own home directory? i don't have sudo/root but it's my home dir?
[16:32] <xxiao_> tried fakeroot and it did not help
[16:32] <kisplit> Onryo and quiescens: scp -p didn't preserve ownership even when I was root on both ends. time to try quiescens' tar idea
[16:32] <Dr_Willis> xxiao_:  if the admin goofed up. they could have made some files in your home that are owned by root.
[16:33] <xxiao_> dont  know how those files creeped in
[16:33] <KM0201> xxiao_: ask the admin to delete them?
[16:33] <ThinkT510> Pici: thought so, i submitted a change to the !browser factoid because epiphany uses webkit rather than gecko; i don't think my change has been made (or whether older ubuntu releases use older epiphany that still use gecko)
[16:33] <necromancer> Snicers-Work2: yeah, where are they?
[16:33] <wasikevin> Technoviking, ping
[16:33] <xxiao_> KM0201: yeah but there are a lot files in various places, dealing with admin is usually the last resort
[16:34] <necromancer> i'm thinking this is simply a corrupt data issue, since when i left last night it was fine
[16:34] <necromancer> so i'm just gonna remake the VM
[16:34] <Pici> ThinkT510: I'll take a look, we don't have a good way of checking submitted factoid (yet) though.
[16:34] <necromancer> but where does mysql keep its logs on ubuntu?
[16:34] <ThinkT510> Pici: ok, thanks
[16:34] <KM0201> xxiao_: well, if you dont have root or sudo access, i don't know how you'd expect to delete them...  there's a way, but i'm not gonna tell you how to circumvent your admin.. as they may be there for a reason
[16:34] <Pici> wasikevin: Hes not normally active that much in this channel, you may want to pm him if you need to speak to him.
[16:34] <Onryo> kisplit yeah that was that the URL I sent you was about. The script I wrote will automate all that back. There is one way of doing it with umask but it is a pain.
[16:34] <wasikevin> Pici, thank you
[16:35] <quiescens> kisplit: the tar thing will techically work, just be aware you should use rsync if available or if you plan to do this more than once, ssh+tar is good for a "nothing else needs to be installed" once off solution as long as you have a very stable and fast connection that won't break
[16:35] <matyy> Hey, I can't find anything about this anywhere online - did anybody hear of this? Starting the gnome-volume-control (audio settings) immediately starts lots of "gnome-terminal"s- I can stop it by jumping to a terminal and killall -9 gnome-terminal
[16:35] <xxiao_> KM0201: it's my files, mainly some root filesystem experiments
[16:35] <sec_goat> Can some one help me with my sudoers file? I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong with a user named bob,, CMN-ALIAS and allowing permission to those commands. http://pastebin.com/iS8ZN239
[16:35] <MonkeyDust> matyy: do you mean alsamixer in a terminal?
[16:36] <KM0201> xxiao_: then you should have root access, if they are "root" files... a non-root user, can't create root file only access
[16:36] <tyler_d> my mic quality is unusable with linphone; I was hoping I might get some help, I'm using a headset with pulse-audio?
[16:36] <matyy> MonkeyDust, no the standard volume-control, the one you start when pressing audio preferences/settings over the indicator
[16:36] <xxiao_> KM0201: yeah that's what's wierd, i did not even use fakeroot, some hidden files etc are root-owned
[16:36] <matyy> it only happens the first time, than it works normaly (till next restart)
[16:37] <lupo> ciao
[16:37] <xxiao_> can I as a normal user, to create root owned files?
[16:37] <KM0201> xxiao_: try right clicking the files, choose properties, then permissions, and see if you can set your user as the owner and give yourself access to them... if you can, just do that, then delete/remove them.
[16:37] <kisplit> quiescens: in the tar command piping to ssh do I need to be ssh'ing to root to keep ownership? I've been scp'ing to my user then sudo -i to do the moving around :p
[16:37] <kisplit> quiescens: I'll also take a look into rsync
[16:37] <KM0201> xxiao_: i don't see hwo you could.... not saying impossible, but it doesn't make sense that you could create files, that you couldn't access
[16:37] <xxiao_> KM0201: there are a few thousands or more of them :(
[16:38] <adam61> hi, anyone know how i can enable the integrated flash on chrome? when i play youtube videos the sound fizzles out after a few seconds, and then my computer almost always freezes up very shortly thereafter. i'm using the 64 bit flashplayer square and now when i go to about:plugins, that's the only one that's there. i just tried reinstalling chrome but that did nothing. i was going to try switching back to the integrated to see if that's any better. could it be
[16:38] <adam61> a problem with my memory or cpu speed? i have an amd64 2000MHz almost a Gb of ram.. i was thinking of upgrading the ram to see if that maybe fixes my problem.. also wondering if i should disable compiz, and if so how i should go about that. thanks
[16:38] <KM0201> xxiao_: there's thousands of them?
[16:38] <xxiao_> KM0201: yes
[16:38] <KM0201> lol
[16:38] <prashant_123456> while having pppoeconf u have to make pppd at startup in pppoeconf ??
[16:39] <xxiao_> most of them are in a repo I checked out, strangely. but when I checked them out i was always a normal user
[16:39] <xxiao_> small portion of them are made by my root fs experiments
[16:39] <BluesKaj> adam61, how did you install flash ?
[16:40] <matyy> lol, nevermind, it happened every time for the last week. Now I didn't dare to start it, wanted to look for a solution before. So I started it with --debug hoping to get some information, and guess what? no problem at all
[16:40] <rumpe1> BluesKaj, Chrome has a builtin flash
[16:40] <adam61> BluesKaj, i just downloaded the link from the google chrome downloads page
[16:40] <dall> hello
[16:40] <BluesKaj> rumpe1, for 32 bit
[16:40] <prashant_123456> BluesKaj, do i need pppd at startup ??
[16:40] <dall> i'm using sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "Telecom-111111" key s:MY_PASSWORD to connect to my wireless access point
[16:40] <ThinkT510> adam61: chromium-browser is available in the repo; and flashplugin
[16:40] <dall> but i get an error
[16:41] <dall> Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
[16:41] <dall>     SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
[16:41] <infobit> BluesKaj, use Ubuntu software center
[16:41] <dall> what is this?
[16:41] <adam61> BluesKaj, there's a link now for the 64 bit preview, i'm just thinking it'd be best if i went back to the integrated.
[16:41] <DirtyDawg> LinuxMint Debian Edition looks interesting
[16:41] <DirtyDawg> sry wrong chan :o
[16:41] <adam61> ThinkT510: i've tried that; not for a while though.. do you think that'd be better than chrome? i originally switched from chromium to chrome for the same reason
[16:42] <ThinkT510> adam61: same reason?
[16:42] <adam61> problems with flash
[16:42] <adam61> i was advised to go to chrome
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> adam61: if you use 64bit OS, try the 64bit flash
[16:42] <ThinkT510> adam61: it works fine for me, and thats with nvidia drivers too
[16:43] <BluesKaj> adam61, I have 64 bit , and the default flash works well for me , but you can always try HTML5 option on youtube ...to get the default flash just install flashplgin-installer
[16:43] <adam61> ActionParsnip: ya, that's what i figured too, but that's what i have now and the sound fizzles out after about five seconds
[16:43] <tpe> Is there any way at all to make the wiggle or blink notification animation on the Unity launcher icons permanently active until clicked? As it is, a notification from, for example, Pidgin, is very hard to notice if I wasn't looking at the screen when it happened (and even then it's not great).

[16:44]  * BluesKaj takes a break
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> Moopz: chown it to your user if you are not the owner
[16:44] <dall> ??
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> Moopz:  and who owns the files?
[16:44] <adam61> BluesKaj, k thanks, i know about that already
[16:44] <adam61> ActionParsnip: k i'll try that
[16:45] <adam61> ActionParsnip: will that remove pulseaudio?
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> Everytime ive seen someone try to remove pulseaudio, they  tend to be back the next day doing a reinstall. :)
[16:46] <pitsaki> hello
[16:46] <adam61> ActionParsnip: i very much want to remove pulse but i tried that a couple times over the last few days and had to reinstall ubuntu after doing so both times
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> adam61: no, just the settings
[16:46] <adam61> ok cool cool

[16:55] <pitsaki> thers nobody on make a channel name
[16:56] <Dr_Willis> Moopz:  learn how permissins work. I rarely have issues with them.
[16:56] <genii-around> pitsaki: Thats because you just created it new
[16:56] <Dr_Willis> pitsaki:  beause you just made the channel...
[16:56] <helpme_> any KM0210 here?
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> Moopz: you only need access to home, you can use sudo and gksudo to get admin access when you need it
[16:56] <qin> Moopz: Use centOs (You will suddenly start loving Ubuntu)
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> qin: or gentoo ;)

[17:00] <qin> *is
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> anthony_dev: you will setup a user at install time
[17:01] <dall> qin, what help ?
[17:01] <amd64> is there a way to send data from a program like hwinfo into a text file so it can more easily and leisurely be read?
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> anthony_dev:  the installer asks for a initial user and password yes.
[17:01] <dall> Dr_Willis, i found http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/14/connect-to-a-wireless-network-via-command-line/     i think i can connect with a command
[17:01] <adam61> ActionParsnip: didn't seem to work, but now the video doesn't play in flash either. do you know how i'd go about enabling the integrated version? the link for that on their site doesn't say how to go about doing that, they just say it happens automatically, which for me according to about:plugins hasn't happened
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> amd64:  command > foo.txt
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> insanity99: the fact it can run games in windows is moot, the driver architecture in windows is completely different to Linux.
[17:02] <adbuntu> Is there any way to get rhythmbox to play .pls (internet radio streams)???
[17:02] <amd64> Dr_Willis, thank you!
[17:02] <adbuntu> It seems to not know what to do with them.
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> amd64:  check out bash 'redirection' for more neat tricks
[17:02] <insanity99> ActionParsnip, its an intel HD card, just integrated
[17:02] <arand> amd64: Alternatively redirect to a pager, like "hwinfo | less"
[17:02] <qin> adbuntu: cvlc <your>.pls (neat way to do it)
[17:03] <amd64> arand, ill check that out.
[17:03] <Roasted_> 685mb... is that the size of 11.04 32 bit?
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> insanity99: that may be why, you may need an xorg.conf to setup better settings, or you could try the xorg edgers ppa to get a later driver
[17:03] <insanity99> ActionParsnip, not really moot, people where saying it was because its a weak card, but its not as weak as they were saying
[17:03] <pitsaki_> i am back
[17:03] <arand> Roasted_: The iso, possibly, not the installed system though, check with !md5sum
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> insanity99: it may be weak under Linux, the drivers are different. You can get full 3D using chips like SiS under Windows but only get 2D under Linux
[17:04] <adbuntu> qin, is that a terminal command?
[17:04] <Roasted_> arand, it just seemed small to me
[17:04] <qin> adbuntu: yes
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> insanity99: different support, different performance
[17:04] <Roasted_> arand, and I cant find the md5's on the ubuntu site to compare
[17:04] <insanity99> ActionParsnip, not sure how i would do that, im new to linux
[17:04] <arand> !md5sum | Roasted_
[17:04] <pitsaki> lol, using getid i make my own operating system!!!
[17:04] <Roasted_> arand, I know.
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> insanity99: nobody is born knowing, go research the file or find the ppa
[17:04] <Roasted_> arand, but I can't find them on the UBUNTU SITE to compare them.
[17:04] <adbuntu> oh that's VLC, though
[17:05] <adbuntu> I wanted to use rhythmbox because I have a plugin to show what I'm playing on Skype.
[17:05] <pitsaki> its called billos
[17:05] <adbuntu> Oh well.
[17:05] <adbuntu> I don't think it's possible.
[17:05] <pitsaki> /home/pitsaki/BillOS
[17:05] <insanity99> ActionParsnip, ok i'll take a look
[17:05] <qin> adbuntu: Possible by menu>file>open...
[17:05] <pitsaki> lol, ubuntu have any viruses?
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> !av
[17:05] <arand> Roasted_: The links I gave you tells you where they can be found
[17:05] <pitsaki> file:///home/pitsaki/BillOS
[17:06] <g0bl1n> wow, on Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 the Workspace Switcher was much more awesome than Unity 11.04. It ordered all the windows. Can't Unity do that ?? :-(
[17:06] <Roasted_> arand, we're not on the same page.
[17:06] <Roasted_> arand, I know how to find the md5 sum. But I cannot find the md5 on the site prior to downloading.
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> g0bl1n:  theres some other woarkspace switcher indicator-applets out there you can  try
[17:06] <arand> Roasted_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[17:06] <Roasted_> arand, the purpose of md5 is to compare. You compare it to what it should be versus what you have. I know how to get what I have when it's downloaded. But I cannot find the md5 posted on the ubuntu site for that comparison to take place.
[17:07] <Roasted_> arand, please read what I'm saying...
[17:07] <adam61> does anyone know how to enable the integrated flash on chrome? it says it does it automatically but about:plugins only lists the nonintegrated one for me
[17:07] <puck_cent>  /part
[17:07] <adbuntu> qin I'll give it a shot, but I don't think you're right.
[17:07] <xrdodrx> Roasted, , which md5 do you need?
[17:07] <g0bl1n> Dr_Willis, which ? From the repos ?
[17:08] <OerHeks> Roasted, please read what arand is giving you >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM you will find the md5sums @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> pitsaki: we can' see that as it is on your system, use imageshack or similar
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> !hashes | Roasted_
[17:08] <qin> adbuntu: Last time i have used rythbox was almost last millenium.
[17:08] <Roasted_> my apologies arand
[17:08] <Roasted_> I see that now
[17:09] <tuggle> hi, somehow my acpid doesn't work correctly. I want it to execute the events in /etc/acpi/ and I am sure that everything is configure correctly in there. Any suggestion what it could be? acpi_listen works as expected
[17:09] <arand> Roasted_: No worries :)
[17:09] <adbuntu> Yeah, google tells me you can't really do internet radio streams in rhythmbox. If I can find a better player that works with skype and IRC, I'll see.
[17:09] <pitsaki> just i give you bill os
[17:10] <qin> adbuntu: mpd have some plugins for irc (dunno skype)
[17:10] <tiox> Hey guys, I was wondoering if there was an easy way to make any window skip the taskbar and run maximized.
[17:10] <adam61> everyone has gotten flash working with no problems? no one has any ideas on how to fix this?
[17:10] <OerHeks> adbuntu, look for .m3u or .pls for streams in rhythmbox, it works for me, press ctrl + i ...
[17:10] <tiox> You know, without shantz-xwinwrap... or maybe with xwinwrap...
[17:11] <Darael> tiox: Devilspie, configured with gdevilspie?  Not sure off the top of my head if it does skip-taskbar, but I think it does.
[17:11] <BluesKaj> adam61, i'm not stright on your problem , both audio and video not working on youtube ?
[17:11] <adbuntu> I'm using .pls, OerHeks
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> tiox: some apps have switches to run mximized. You can instal devilspie and grab gdevilspie from googlecode, you can then tell apps how to load and such when they load
[17:12] <Darael> ActionParsnip: gdevlispie is in the repos in Natty, at least.
[17:12] <tiox> Hmmm... I'll look into that.
[17:12] <tiox> I also wanted to load without decoration. Any way I can do that?
[17:12] <adam61> BluesKaj, ya, it was just audio but now video isn't working either. i would like to try re-enabling the integrated flashplayer on chrome but i don't know how
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> Darael: is it?
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> !info gdevilspie
[17:12] <Roasted_> How can I create blank files that are taking up 5mb of space each? Also, is there a way to do it and create several hundred of then, naming them concurrently as copy 1 copy 2 etc?
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> yay
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> Roasted:  use of the dd command and a little bash scripting can do that.
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> Roasted_: http://markus.revti.com/2007/06/creating-empty-file-with-specified-size/
[17:13] <adbuntu> THe control + i think SHOULD work.
[17:13] <Roasted_> ActionParsnip, thanks bro
[17:13] <llutz> Roasted_: dd if=dev/zero of=file bs=5M count=1         write a loop around
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> Roasted_: all I did was websearch.....
[17:14] <tiox> Thanks, I'll grab them and investigate.
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> Roasted_: did you not try researching before asking..
[17:14] <Roasted_> ActionParsnip, well my curiosity isn't so much creating the empty file, but being able to create exactly 620 of them
[17:14] <Roasted_> ActionParsnip, as opposed to CTRL V, CTRL V, CTRL V, CTRL V
[17:14] <adbuntu> Can I upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 with relative ease?
[17:14]  * S74rk7 is away: Gone away for now
[17:14] <adbuntu> Or is it not worth it
[17:14] <adbuntu> should I just do a fresh install
[17:15] <multipass> 11.04 is kinda messy.
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> Roasted_: you will need a bash scipt with an incrementing number to use with the filename
[17:15] <llutz> Roasted_: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-while-loop/
[17:15] <adbuntu> Messy?
[17:15] <adbuntu> I was looking forward to the new GUI
[17:15] <OerHeks> adbuntu, 10.04 > 10.10 > 11.04
[17:15] <BluesKaj> adam61, in the chrome addressbar about:plugins , enable flash
[17:15] <multipass> i tried to switch to it, but too many things were messed up for me
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> adbuntu: you will need to upgrade to maverick (10.10) first
[17:15] <multipass> im back on 10.10 and happy again
[17:15] <adbuntu> I'm a big fan of the Windows 7 taskbar
[17:15] <adbuntu> and I heard 11.04 has something similar
[17:15] <multipass> go ahead and try it, but keep ur older install of 10.04
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> adbuntu: there is dockbarx which is similar
[17:15] <anthony_dev> multipass which things?
[17:16] <Darael> Roasted_: Use "for i in `seq 620`; do <command-or-set-of-commands-here-involving-$i-in-filename>; done"
[17:16] <TheeSaga> You can get a dock that resembles windows 7 on previous versions.
[17:16] <riktking> lol, i only have a virt k/b on my desire
[17:16] <adam61> BluesKaj, i've done that, but the only one that's listed is the one that i downloaded separately, the 64 bit version. it doesn't list the one i want to enable for some strange reason. i even reinstalled chrome, but nothing
[17:16]  * anthony_dev is new user to ubuntu. planing to run mysql/php/apache/j2me env.
[17:16] <adbuntu> TheeSaga, you mean CairoDOck?
[17:16] <Roasted_> Darael, you lost me a bit. I can just put within the main command itself to do 620 without scripting it to loop?
[17:16] <multipass> anthony_dev: somethign with xorg was seriouslly messed up, dual monitor desktop environemnts were crippled, also ati drivers were mostly broken out of the box, edge flipping dosnt work
[17:16] <TheeSaga> Yes CairoDock works, I personally use Docky.
[17:17] <multipass> ive come to like docky the best of al
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> adbuntu: http://i35.tinypic.com/20sd7bd.jpg <- Dockbarx
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> so many docks.. so many with so many annoyances. :) heh
[17:17] <adbuntu> ooh nice.
[17:17] <llutz> Roasted_: yes,            for i in $(seq 620); do dd if=dev/zero of=file-$i bs=5M count=1       ;done
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> run one on the bottom. and a differnt one on the side.
[17:18] <multipass> anthony_dev: so a few things that made ubuntu what it was to me, now no longer work, rendering it a bad release for me
[17:18] <adbuntu> I never considered the Win7 one to be a "dock"
[17:18] <Roasted_> llutz, nice... thanks
[17:18] <adbuntu> I guess it is.
[17:18] <llutz> Roasted_: or bs=1024k count=5
[17:18] <Roasted_> llutz, including "for i in" in that command I take it?
[17:18] <Roasted_> llutz, that beginning part didnt strike me as part of a command so I had to ask to make sure
[17:18] <adbuntu> Are there any good applications to take advantage of compiz and totally revamp the look of Ubuntu 10.04?
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> Bash Basics day. :) well bash '202' i guess heh.
[17:18] <llutz> Roasted_: yes, from "for i" until "done"
[17:18] <adbuntu> Like themes and stuff
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> adbuntu: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_LeraopNmMbg/TCJEzhXi1_I/AAAAAAAAH6Y/ZdQhZBuCbSM/101604-2.png
[17:19] <adbuntu> ooh, that looks perfect. thanks, man
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> !changetheme | adbuntu
[17:19] <Roasted_> llutz, hmm I just for dd: opening 'dev'zero no such file or dir
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> its /dev/zero :) not dev/zero
[17:19] <adbuntu> Thank you.
[17:20] <llutz> Dr_Willis: typo, thanks for correcting
[17:20] <Roasted_> gotcha
[17:20] <seba_> Hi how I can change the tty?
[17:20] <Roasted_> its running now
[17:20] <Roasted_> thanks llutz + Dr_Willis
[17:21] <llutz> Roasted_: btw, did you find your ultimate backup-solution? ;)
[17:21] <Roasted_> llutz, No. the hunt is on. In fact, I'm testing out a potential bug right now. If you're interested in hearing some craziness I could PM ya about it.
[17:21] <Darael> seba_: Assuming you mean drop to a tty, or use a different tty, do ctl+alt+f{1,2,3,4,5,6}.  ctl+alt+f7 usually gets you back to the GUI.  Sometimes it;s F8.
[17:23] <seba_> thank you
[17:25] <Carl892> I have a problem, this server has two partitions (/dev/sda1 and /dev/sda6) which are mounted as / and /data respectively. The problem is the sda1 has only 10 MB free, while sda6 has over 100 GB free. I want to give some of sda6's space to sda1.. how can I do that?
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> Carl892:  one is a primary, other is a logical. that may make it harder to do.  You COULD just move some stuff from / to sda6 and set up a link to point to the new location.
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> Carl892: try: sudo apt-get clean
[17:26] <ThinkT510> Carl892: you'll have to resize your partitions, including your extended partition that holds sda6
[17:27] <Carl892> ThinkT510, do you know how?
[17:27] <Carl892> from the command line
[17:28] <ThinkT510> Carl892: can't you do it via gparted from a livecd?
[17:29] <gribouille> hi
[17:29] <gribouille> kpackagekit constantly prompts me to upgrade my system. this is extremely annoying. how can I stop this ?
[17:35] <DrHalan> hey,
[17:35] <DrHalan> can i use the telepathy ppa with natty? seems like it depens on gnome3?
[17:35] <sburwood1> I have a partition that I created with gparted that I can't use.  How can I change permissions?
[17:35] <xrdodrx> are repos slow for anyone else?
[17:36] <ThinkT510> sburwood1: you trying to mount it?
[17:36] <sburwood1> ThinkT510: As far as I know, it is mounted
[17:37] <llutz> sburwood1: read "man chmod" "man chown"  if its a unix-filesystem like ext-fs
[17:37] <ThinkT510> sburwood1: what filesystem is it?
[17:38] <Darael> xrdodrx: Nope, nice and speedy here - try changing mirror.
[17:38] <gorio_BR> hi all
[17:38] <kasztan85> hi all
[17:39] <gorio_BR> could anyone help me to install glibc-devel for Ubuntu 11.04 x64 ?
[17:39] <xrdodrx> Darael, I tried but it seems all the mirrors don't have all the packages yet
[17:39] <alesan> hi
[17:40] <alesan> how can uninstall the ubuntu-font?
[17:40] <alesan> I did not have it before the upgrade and now it's creeping in
[17:40] <mdel_> can I create an "install partition" from the install ISO?
[17:40] <xrdodrx> alesan, I don't know why you'd want to uninstall it when you can just change your font
[17:40] <zaksoldier> Hi all
[17:41] <mdel_> my cdrom on my dell wont boot
[17:41] <alesan> xrdodrx, I do not understand, you are saying yuo do not know how to uninstall it?
[17:41] <mdel_> no matter what I do to the bios
[17:41] <mdel_> so I need to install from a bootable partition
[17:41] <alesan> I could delete the files but maybe there is a better way, I do not know
[17:41] <xrdodrx> alesan, I do know how, remove the ttf-ubuntu-font-family package.
[17:41] <mdel_> i created a 1gb partition on another disk
[17:42] <alesan> xrdodrx, thanks!
[17:42] <xrdodrx> you're welcome :)
[17:42] <adam61> anyone here know how i can enable integrated flash on chrome if it's just not showing up?
[17:42] <Psoulocybe> Howdy
[17:42] <ThinkT510> alesan: why remove the package when you can just change fonts?
[17:42] <xrdodrx> ThinkT510, that's what I wanted to know lol
[17:42] <alesan> damn it also wants to remove several other packages
[17:42] <xrdodrx> alesan, which are?
[17:42] <alesan> ThinkT510, xrdodrx to avoid "accidental" come back of that font
[17:43] <ThinkT510> xrdodrx: i thought i'd rephrase it for him
[17:43] <alesan> and to avoid having to change possibly several other packages
[17:43] <alesan> sorry
[17:43] <xrdodrx> alesan, "accidental comeback"?
[17:43] <alesan> programs I mean
[17:43] <xrdodrx> um, I don't really understand
[17:43] <rhizmoe> i hate to ask an "ne1" question, but there has to be something better than gwibber. please tell me it.
[17:43] <alesan> xrdodrx, Kubuntu-desktop, Kubuntu-default-settings
[17:43] <xrdodrx> if you change to say dejavu sans it shouldn't ever come back unless you change it back
[17:43] <xrdodrx> alesan, those are called
[17:43] <ThinkT510> alesan: just change the default fault
[17:44] <Cube``> hey, how do i compress something using "zip" on the command line
[17:44] <xrdodrx> alesan, "meta packages", they aren't actually anything
[17:44] <Cube``> just like zip *?
[17:44] <alesan> xrdodrx, so why I did not have this font before, and after the upgrade many programs use it?
[17:44] <Cube``> or like zip <filename.zip> *?
[17:44] <alesan> I used thunderbird until this afternoon, now I open it and it uses this font too
[17:44] <adam61> nobody?
[17:44] <xrdodrx> alesan, because Canonical designed the Ubuntu font family and incorporated it into the system.
[17:44] <alesan> ThinkT510, where do I change that?
[17:44] <alesan> xrdodrx, that is not new in 11.04
[17:44] <sburwood1> ThinkT510: I think I made it an ext4 filesystem.  I used gparted that I had installed in my 11.04 that is on this computer
[17:45] <rhizmoe> adam61: i see nothing else from you but the one-word question, "nobody?"
[17:45] <ThinkT510> alesan: not sure sorry
[17:45] <gribouille> what does the following error message mean : dpkg-genchanges: error: cannot read files list file: No such file or directory ?
[17:45] <xrdodrx> alesan, It's safe to remove kubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-default-settings packages, that would happen any time you remove a default component of the system.
[17:45] <alesan> I will just delete the ttf files then, I've already wasted too much time on this
[17:45] <xrdodrx> alesan, that's probably not smart
[17:45] <mdel_> any ideas???
[17:46] <alesan> :(
[17:46] <alesan> thanks anyway
[17:46] <xrdodrx> alesan, I don't use KDE, but go into appearance settings.
[17:46] <xrdodrx> There's a way to change the font, I'm sure.
[17:46] <alesan> oh I really need to go my wife's dad needs help bye! thanks
[17:46] <bibliotheque> guys, i m trying to get xbmc working, no way. i sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa
[17:46] <bibliotheque> and sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa as well
[17:46] <adam61> rhizmoe: sorry, i'm trying not to flood the channel with just my questions, so i'm spacing them out. i've been on here and ##flash for three hours and haven't gotten my questions answered.. i know they're difficult but.. i can't get flash to work. i have tried everything. i have chrome now (ubuntu 11.04) with 64 bit flash, i can't find the integrated flash in about:plugins, argh lol..
[17:46] <bibliotheque> some files failed to load with sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install xbmc says Unable to locate package xbmc...
[17:47] <martin____> hi can someone help me here, i upgraded to ubuntu 11.04, but now i cannot get any further than a black screen with a mouse pointer,
[17:47] <bibliotheque> any help would be greatly appreciated
[17:48] <rhizmoe> adam61: ah, no idea. could just be a problem of living on the cutting edge
[17:48] <martin____> i tried recovery mode, but failsafe graphic mode doesn't work at all it returns me to the grub menu straight away
[17:48] <adam61> rhizmoe: that's very true.. a good point i guess haha
[17:50] <rhizmoe> adam61: i'm no expert, but i'd say 64bit flash on 11 is an advanced topic
[17:51] <adam61> rhizmoe: ya, my flash wasn't working, so i just tried the 64 bit, and it didn't work either, but now i can't find the integrated one. i've reinstalled chrome even
