[10:01] <jonte> Hey, I'm looking for a really fast PDF reader.. Viewing "complex" PDFs in Evince is choppy (on a pretty speedy machine). Is there any reader which pre-renders pages and stores in memory or something?
[10:01] <rumpe1> jonte, how "complex"? several hundred MB? some GB?...
[10:01] <Lantizia> jonte, no idea on the prerendering but foxit is pretty quick but it's nonfree (but still freeware) and has a linux version
[10:02] <jonte> rumpe1, Not neccessarily big, but when there's a large amount of formulas it tends to be slower
[10:02] <jonte> Lantizia, Hm, I should try that
[10:04] <Lantizia> jonte, oh cool they have debian packages now :P http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/desklinux/download.php
[10:05] <Lantizia> used to be some crappy bin file and the gui looked like GTK1 - looks a lot more polished now
[10:05] <cnttucme> What is that for Lantizia
[10:05] <Kingsy> Lantizia: thanks
[10:05] <Lantizia> cnttucme, Foxit Reader (nonfree pdf reader)
[10:05] <Lantizia> Kingsy, np
[10:06] <cnttucme> Ah a none open source linux software? lolwat
[10:06] <jonte> Lantizia, Thanks! I'm installing it just now.. I've used it on windows, and I found it nice there.. I can't remember if it was faster than evince though ;)
[10:06] <Lantizia> jonte, yeah whenever I'm stuck on windows I use it - takes an ice age for adobe reader to download it's firefox extension, download itself, unpack itself, install itself
[10:07] <Lantizia> like preparing to land on the moon
[10:07] <drounse> do computers from schools have special thingss to prevent booting from a cd or usb?
[10:07] <jonte> Wow, this is indeed light years faster than evince! Thanks a bunch Lantizia
[10:08] <thomaspr> Is llutz german ?
[10:08] <Lantizia> drounse, depends on the pc, the school - no way anyone can answer that for you
[10:08] <pc> hi everybody
[10:08] <Lantizia> jonte, np
[10:08] <cnttucme> Is "llutz", German?*
[10:09] <pc> can someone help me to fix the low volume on my pc thx in advance
[10:09] <drounse> Lantizia its just i have this p4 from a school and i can never install anything without trouble, ive only managed to get linux kernel 2.x i cant boot with 3.x
[10:09] <cnttucme> pc: check the hardware switch
[10:10] <pc> ive a inner speaker in my ibm pc
[10:10] <cnttucme> pc: Do you have a button on your keyboard that looks like a speaker?
[10:11] <Lantizia> drounse, probably some minor glitch between the chipset it has or some other peripheral or onboard system that you'll need to give some extra boot flags for.    is the pc a known manufacturer/brand/model? if so i'd start googling for others having that issue
[10:11] <pc> ive tried with alsamixe but everything is on high level
[10:11] <Lantizia> pc, is it a lappy?
[10:12] <pc> no
[10:12] <pc> ibm dekstop pc
[10:12] <Lantizia> speakers on monitor or separate speakers?
[10:12] <drounse> Lantizia, its a gateway slim i can find it online, but ive never found anyone with that exact computer having that problem
[10:12] <llutz_> drounse: checked for BIOS-updates?
[10:13] <pc> the speakers are inside of the pc
[10:13] <drounse> llutz_ no but ill check now
[10:14] <Lantizia> pc, have you ever had those speakers inside the pc louder on another OS?
[10:14] <pc> yes on xp it was working excellent
[10:14] <drounse> llutz, http://support.gateway.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?partNumber=2800471 idk which one to pick
[10:14] <cnttucme> Driver issue?
[10:15] <llutz_> drounse: sry no www here
[10:15] <drounse> llutz_ no what?
[10:15] <Lantizia> pc, well all I can say is run alsamixer as by default you might find lots of them only half way or 75% - check the normal ubuntu volume controls and speaker configuration (mono or 2 speaker i'm guessing)
[10:15] <llutz_> drounse: sry no www (no access to fancy colorfull http-sites) here
[10:16] <drounse> llutz_ ohh ok
[10:16] <llutz_> drounse: can't check your link though. check your mainboard/bios (dmidecode) to get more details, maybe that helps to find the correct version

[10:27] <roxlu> hi, I'm reading this article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto and the postfix install asks me "General type of mail configuration" ... for a mail server which will handle mails from multiple domains, what do I choose there? (Internet with smarthost?)
[10:28] <Onkeltem> Any DIA users are here? I can't export a diagram to PDF preserving its Landscape layout - the resulting PDF is oriented portait.
[10:29] <cnttucme> Pc use that link i gave you

[10:36] <N0Of> hi. has anyone tried ubuntu 11.10 or 12.04 beta and experienced sporadic system freeze/hangup (possibly in related to ecryptfs)?
[10:37] <N0Of> i get no errors on the console, system is suddenly freezing. how can i figure out whats the cause of this?
[10:38] <eSoul> dd + UUID + grub = love

[10:40] <novrak> hello
[10:44] <railsraider> can anyone please help with setting nrpe for nagios i get CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake. when i try to check nape from the remote nagios server
[10:45] <ceasar> i want help,for figuring out a very unusual problem, my 10kbp/s  line is fluctuating with 7Mb/s, system monitor is suggesting nothing unusual, i have the screen shot.
[10:45] <novrak> ubuntu 11.10 on a 4-year old (2gb ram, shared graphics) notebook performs worse than Win7 and Win8beta right now, Is this how Ubuntu is headed, ie. ditching old hw ?
[10:46] <llutz_> railsraider: does it work with "check_nrpe -n"?
[10:46] <senayar> novrak:  you use unity ?
[10:46] <novrak> senayar: it's mandatory on 11.10
[10:47] <llutz_> railsraider: did you allow incoming port 5666 on remote server?
[10:47] <railsraider> llutz_:  I'm using the LAN from inside
[10:48] <railsraider> so using address 10.x
[10:48] <llutz_> railsraider: and? myke sure theres no firewall blocking
[10:49] <mandza> novrak i also use 11.10 and i agree with you
[10:49] <llutz_> make*
[10:49] <mandza> is it posibble to make ubuntu faster that it is????
[10:49] <railsraider> llutz_:  what do i need to check for in the iptables?
[10:49] <llutz_> railsraider: sudo iptables -L            incoming port 5666 has to be allowed
[10:50] <railsraider> even from the LAN?
[10:50] <llutz_> railsraider: from the machine nagios runs at
[10:50] <railsraider> ok
[10:50] <llutz_> railsraider: it makes no difference between lan/wan if you setup filtering rules
[10:51] <Uitrix> Hello everybody! I have a problem starting ubuntu.. It's 11.10. On the start screen I have a message, that system is trying to set up full network support, then waits 60 seconds trying to do that, then starting system without full network support. I guess, this is because it doesn't know my modem device, cause wi-fi and lan works perfectly. So, I don't need my modem device.. How to turn it off by defalt, or just say ubuntu to load without full network support
[10:52] <eSoul128> quick question, if i install beta 1 if 12.04 on my machine, when beta 2 and "gold" are released, will apt-get update/dist-upgrade get me to latest baring any major changes
[10:52] <Uitrix> I've tried to google, found nothing..
[10:52] <eSoul128> Vitrix, have you found a way in your systems bios to disable the modem
[10:53] <eSoul128> possibly
[10:53] <Uitrix> eSoul128, no. Haven't found that option in BIOS
[10:53] <eSoul128> bummer
[10:53] <Uitrix> and can't unplug it, cause it's laptop
[10:53] <eSoul128> indeed
[10:54] <eSoul128> I almost guessed tat, vitrix, just because if it was a desktop im sure you would have yanked it hours ago
[10:54] <philinux> eSoul128: this question comes up every 6 months. If it's up to date you got the latest and greatest
[10:54] <[Si]> could you just blacklist the module for the modem?
[10:54] <eSoul128> hmmm, you could try making some symlinks from /dev/ttyS0-9 (serial ports if im not mistaken)  to /dev/null to keep them from probing possibly?
[10:55] <torvald> Hi, i have a non-persistent customized live usb stick with Ubuntu where i want to update the kernel. I have the updated kernel installed on my laptop - can't i simply copy the image/vmlinuz to the bootfolder and add them to grub? I get a "init not tainted" when it boots. :/
[10:55] <eSoul128> philinux -- thanks, I just didnt know if it would the latest of beta 1, or if it would go all the way to the release copy through apt
[10:56] <Uitrix> [Si]: how can i do that?..
[10:56] <gaby> hello every body - how can i downgrade 11.10 to a older version without remove or uninstall the system
[10:56] <Uitrix> eSoul128: just delete those files and create links to /dev/null ?
[10:56] <llutz_> gaby: no
[10:56] <eSoul128> Vitrix, its a bunch of console commands, and i dont think it would help really
[10:56] <philinux> eSoul128: If it's updated you got it. Even if major change
[10:56] <eSoul128> becasue if its at boot
[10:56] <eSoul128> before your first login
[10:57] <eSoul128> I believe /dev/ repopultes the ttyS dev links
[10:57] <[Si]> Uitrix do a lsmod to find the module
[10:57] <gaby> lluts_ what no?
[10:57] <eSoul128> but im no expert there
[10:57] <llutz_> gaby: you can't
[10:57] <eSoul128> sorry for the multiple lines, bad habbit
[10:59] <[Si]> Uitrix then add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf "blacklist modulename". once that's done run sudo update-initramfs -u
[10:59] <Uitrix> [Si]: unfortunatly, can't find that module, cause don't know the name of device in that list..
[11:00] <eSoul128> Si, sorry to ask a related but unrelated question, is initramfs the first bit after/including the kernel on bootup
[11:00] <kame> hi. i use easy peasy. my problem: When i open an application/programm it opens in full screen. how to prevent this?
[11:03] <pc> hi
[11:03] <pc> again th same issue low sound
[11:03] <NewWorld> pc:  turn up the volume
[11:04] <pc> IST TURNED ON TO MAX
[11:04] <pc> sorry
[11:04] <matt_symes> eSoul: Initramfs is the initial root filling system the kernel loads before finding the main root filing system so yes, It's the first thing it loads. It does not have to be though
[11:04] <pc> how to install a new driver
[11:06] <NewWorld> pc:  In console type `alsamixer` - make sure everything is cranked up like Master/PCM, etc
[11:07] <pc> everyhing is to max
[11:07] <eSoul> matt_symes: I see, but then can be overwritten once the main root fs is found I suppose
[11:07] <[Si]> eSoul yes, sorry was akf a bit there. it has teh kernel + any modules required to boot (SCSI controlers, lvm fs modules etc)
[11:07] <eSoul> its either use an intiramfs or specify the root in the kernerl params
[11:07] <eSoul> indeed indeed
[11:08] <pc> still nothing
[11:08] <[Si]> Uitrix, pm the output of lspci and lsmod and I'll see if I can see it for you :)
[11:08] <[Si]> don't paste it in here.
[11:09] <[Si]> eSoul normaly you have to have one unless you compile all boot time modules into the kernel, (ie they are no longer modules)
[11:09] <matt_symes> eSoul. It's a compressed archive that gets loaded into memory. It creates certain required devices such as /dev/null but its main role it to load the root filling system
[11:10] <SubjectOne> can you run android-apps in ubuntu with the latest linux kernel 3.3 ?
[11:11] <pc> no one can help
[11:11] <Uitrix>  [Si]: where can I post it for u? it's quite big to do it write here)
[11:11] <Uitrix> *right
[11:11] <kame> once agian, hi. i use easy peasy. my problem: When i open an application/programm it opens in full screen. how to prevent this?
[11:12] <[Si]> Uitrix you should see another window pop in your irc client :)
[11:12] <eSoul> I see I see.  I mean, I am a CS student, going on my 8th year fr my 4 year degree since ive been working and skipped semesters, and im already 300-400 level, but unfortuantely to save time and to eat at us true geeks, we dont talk much about how th particular OS does its work.  Other than the, you have these things that happen in an OS
[11:13] <eSoul> And I have been around/had experience with Linux for 12 years, but I dont know every single in and out
[11:13] <DJones> kame: You're probably best asking that in #easypeasy which is the support channel for easypeasy according to their website,
[11:13] <[Si]> eSoul it's good to ask these questions :)
[11:13] <matt_symes> eSoul: You can uncompress initramfs and take a look at the scripts and modules inside
[11:13] <eSoul> bzImages are intramfs-es arent they
[11:14] <eSoul> or at least can be
[11:15] <pc> dear all can someone help me how to update this audio driver
[11:15] <kame> DJones thank you! :)
[11:18] <m1chael> i'm trying to burn a mpg to dvd using growisofs... the dvd skips in a dvd player, otherwise it plays fine. anyone have any suggestions for me?
[11:20] <matt_symes> eSoul: mkdir ~/initram_extract && cs $_ && gzip -dc /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-14-generic  | cpio -idmv or something along those lines should extract it. You will need to change the archive name as required
[11:21] <matt_symes> eSoul: They are compressed archives. The compression can be different types
[11:22] <eSoul> Indeed.  I see.  I just finished putting a server together, using the FOG Project, but open source lab computer imaging
[11:22] <eSoul> so when a student hoses a machine, netboot it and then you can pull down a fresh image
[11:23] <pc_> can someone help me to fix my audio problem
[11:23] <jpastore> so I just installed 11.10 upgraded from 10.10. I must say I'm not happy with the upgrade. unity not so great. I miss my cube and synaptic. if there a reason why wifi disocnnects to easily I queued up a couple of things to download before passing out last night, open the laptop this morning and it reconnected to wifi and continued. it seems to disconnect easily
[11:23] <ahhughes> can I get Vinagre to actually set thru ctrl+alt+left e.t.c. command keys?
[11:23] <eSoul> It just woudlnt do me any good now to look thru the files in it unless a system type wont boot
[11:25] <jpastore> pc_ IDK if I can help you but what's your problem? I had a crazy volume issue where if the volume was < 20% it was muted >20% it was only psycho loud.
[11:25] <pc_> ive very low sound
[11:26] <pc_> and in the mixer all is set up to max
[11:27] <jpastore> pc_ that's the inverse of the problem I had. have you tried booting from the live cd to see if it's the system itself or hardware related?
[11:28] <samineru> I'm about to resize me primary / partition, which contains boot. I will be changing the start. Will a standard grub recovery fix GRUB after this, or is that even necessary?
[11:28] <eSoul> samineru I just kinda messed with this myself
[11:29] <ikonia> samineru: you hopefully won't need to change anything
[11:29] <ikonia> samineru: I assume you are resizing from a livecd ?
[11:29] <eSoul> as long as the UUIS is going to be the same of the partition you are booting from ,grub should be fine, but you can run an update-grub to make sure?
[11:29] <eSoul> *UUID
[11:29] <samineru> @eSoul, @ikonia, Cause sda2 will still be sda2? And yes, from partedmagic
[11:29] <eSoul> samineru, most likely
[11:30] <ikonia> samineru: ok, go for it, and don't worry if something goes wrong it can most likley be fixed easy
[11:30] <ikonia> samineru: backup anything you need that is important to you though
[11:30] <samineru> If it's important it's already in 2 places :)
[11:30] <eSoul> UUID is the more accepted way to reference your block devices if im not mistaken now
[11:30] <anudaasa> helou, have someone experience with luckybackup ?
[11:30] <samineru> Ah, presumably GRUB does that already?
[11:30] <eSoul> since controllers seems to come up at a slightly different time
[11:30] <eSoul> samineru -- with a grub-update it will check and make sure I believe
[11:31] <eSoul> err
[11:31] <eSoul> samineru update-grub, sorry
[11:31] <eSoul> but yeah, you will be able to fix it easily with a livecd/usb
[11:32] <eSoul> but back up anything since you are partition resizing, you may lose it
[11:32] <eSoul> *anything you really need
[11:32] <samineru> Yep, it's all on an external
[11:33] <eSoul> right on
[11:33] <samineru> Now it's time to waaaaaait
[11:33] <pc> when i restart the pc my master m in alsamixer is allways off
[11:34] <eSoul> samineru I NEVER partition resize unless its to grow it
[11:34] <eSoul> because of the defrag thats basically taking place
[11:34] <eSoul> takes forever
[11:34] <samineru> @eSoul, Yeah, this is a move AND shrink, so I've allocated my whole morning
[11:35] <eSoul> lol, samineru, just start out with a fresh drive?
[11:35] <samineru> eSoul, Windows|Linux|Storage   Windows had more space than it needed and storage was running out of space
[11:36] <eSoul> samineru:  I see I see, i forgot most people dot have the 7.5 TB i have, although thats nothing compared to rigs ive seen on the internet
[11:36] <pc> how to update this driver pls 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller
[11:37] <anudaasa> Soul: you have 7.5 TB ?
[11:38] <samineru> @eSoul, laptop
[11:38] <samineru> You know, backup and reinstall may have been faster...
[11:38] <eSoul> anudaasa -- yes, across 10 SATA drives
[11:38] <pc> any help today
[11:39] <anudaasa> eSoul: aha, so it is under 1 TB for one disk
[11:39] <samineru> Well, thanks for talking, I'm gonna go eat breakfast move on with my day
[11:39] <eSoul> some are 2 tb
[11:39] <eSoul> some are 750
[11:39] <eSoul> GB
[11:40] <eSoul> i think it might be close to 9TB total, but i have two 2TB drives mirrored together with ZFS
[11:40] <anudaasa> eSoul: is possible to have NTFS on 2 TB disk ?
[11:40] <eSoul> yes
[11:40] <eSoul> as long as you have WinXP sp1 or abov
[11:40] <eSoul> e
[11:41] <eSoul> if you are using an orginal release xp disk, you will only be able to make partitions up to 100 or something GBs in size
[11:41] <anudaasa> Soul: 100TB is enough :-)
[11:42] <eSoul> anudaasa -- no, only 100GBs
[11:42] <eSoul> It may even be less.  It wasnt using LBA-48 addressing
[11:42] <eSoul> (i think, could be pulling crap from my butt)
[11:43] <anudaasa> I have 250 GB disk with ntfs
[11:44] <mughil2cloud> hello
[11:44] <mughil2cloud> hi
[11:44] <eSoul> as long as at least sp1 is install or slipstreamed onto the disk, it can be recognize
[11:44] <eSoul> d
[11:44]  * [Si] has 9tb over 4 disks.
[11:45] <eSoul> Nicey Nice, Si
[11:45] <Kk2> hello, after changing my kernel to 3.2.12 all boot logos, for starting, and shutdown/reboot, are just gone how i restore that?
[11:46] <anudaasa> kk2: thank you, i will no using kernel 3.2.x :-)
[11:47] <Kk2> lol, why anudaasa? everyting is working, less the ubuntu logo from booting :P
[11:47] <[Si]> Kk2 sounds like your framebuffer driver is missing from your 3.2 kernel
[11:48] <anudaasa> kk2: i have 3.0.x and working everythink
[11:48] <[Si]> what graphics card/drivers are you using in your old kernel?
[11:48] <Kk2> nvidia 295.20, working properly in every kernel :P
[11:49] <Kk2> old and new
[11:50] <[Si]> I only ever got the logo using the nouveau drivers, the nvidia ones don't support KVM so I guess you were using uvesa or similar for the framebuffer drivers
[11:51] <Kk2> so, i will not get the logo screens anymore? is there anyway i change for text mode? like see the kernel coming up, configuring dhcpd and all? in text, without the buffer logo?!
[11:55] <Kk2> hmm i found a way, just editing the grub :)
[11:55] <[Si]> Kk2 edit /etc/default/grub. Change the "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" to have "nomodeset" then add "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text" to the end of the file. Then run Update grub
[11:55] <[Si]> sorry had to boot up my pc with the Nvidia in it to check.
[11:55] <Kk2> thx a lot [Si] :D
[11:55] <[Si]> no worries Kk2 took a bit of fiddling to make that work here, this is on 11.10 btw.
[11:56] <worm> Kk2 after that, run this command: "update-grub >/boot/grub/grub.cfg" Don't forget the >, or it will just print the result out.
[11:57] <Kk2> thx a lot :D
[11:57] <[Si]> worm on 11.10 sudo update-grub does that for you :)
[11:58] <pc> anyone can help me with my sound problem
[12:00] <elky> pc, if you describe the problem, then people reading the backlog in their irc client will see the description and decide if they can help
[12:01] <worm> [Si] Yes. But something wrong happened to me... Because I am installing another copy of Linux to my USB Drive, it is listed to my boot list...
[12:03] <GVolkman1> Good morning all. I have a very serious issue with grub. I have an md raid that had the drive with /boot and grub which died. I replaced the drive, resynced, all good; but I can't grub-install $targdrive, or use dpkg-reconfigure, here is what I get: http://pastebin.com/md9tN06J
[12:03] <GVolkman1> Am I SOL on a bootloader?
[12:03] <sggg> hi, can vsftpd setup using utf-8 only? of is there any ftp server which can handle this? thanks.
[12:04] <GVolkman1> sggg: osm
[12:04] <vikrant> Hello allç
[12:04] <sggg> GVolkman1, osm?
[12:04] <pc> no sound at all
[12:05] <sggg> GVolkman1, I don't find anything by googling osm...
[12:05] <GVolkman1> sggg: still making coffee, enter key is very large. I dont believe so.
[12:05] <vikrant> When I log out from my Ubuntu session, my screen goes blank and could not get my login screen back...can anyone please help
[12:05] <sggg> GVolkman1, sorry. I don't understand what you mean.
[12:06] <worm> Can anyone tell me how to upload files to a server using vsftpd? I want to use a ubuntu machine as a file server.
[12:07] <worm> Although I login by my username, it did not work. It is necessary for me to upload files via Windows Explorer.
[12:07] <worm> It just told me I have no permission to do so.
[12:08] <eSoul> worm, if you have ssh access, get winscp to copy your files
[12:08] <worm> vikrant Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to text mode and login, then run "sudo restart lightdm".
[12:09] <mcb_> worm: In your vsftp configuration did you enable: $write_enable=YES. It is disable by default.
[12:10] <vikrant> worm, I am using gdm and have tried that...but didnt work...My X session gets killed, but a new X session isn created...
[12:10] <worm> vikrant then startx?
[12:11] <iLogical> I am getting this problem: http://i.imgur.com/haSlQ.png . what can I do?
[12:12] <mandza> uitrix i had same problem, i solved it by restarting my modem
[12:12] <worm> mcb_ Oh, I found it. Thanks a lot. But why the programmer just put a "#" to that line? It is so hard to find that.
[12:13] <mcb_> worm: The # caracter means that it is a comantary. Taking it out will actualy uncomment the line and "turn on" the configuration.
[12:13] <vikrant> worm, i am working on a multiseat environment using console kit and gdm...my host machine is working fine and logouts and logins properly...But the usb seats connected doesnt get login screen after logout...
[12:17] <worm> vikrant If it happened frequently, it might be a bug. But because I have never met a problem like that, I can't solve it. So sorry. Can anyone solve it?
[12:20] <iLogical> hello
[12:20] <iLogical> I am getting this problem: http://i.imgur.com/haSlQ.png . what can I do?
[12:22] <Oer> worm, maybe this vsftpd howto is any help >> http://www.wikihow.com/Setup-vsftpd-FTP-on-Ubuntu-Linux
[12:24] <abhinavmehta> I'm trying to setup 'pptpd' eg. VPN…..everything is set on the server-side, but still not able to connect clients(MacBook/iPhone)…so now I'm curious to know whether server is up or not….
[12:24] <abhinavmehta> so is there some way to ping pptpd-port/sevice../
[12:24] <abhinavmehta> *service?
[12:25] <hekate> Hi, does anyone know whether the llvm package in apt for Ubuntu 10.04 is enough to have the llvm compiler?
[12:25] <mcb_> abhinavmehta: You can use netcat, it is not a ping, more like a telnet, but it will connect to any port/service, even UDP.
[12:26] <abhinavmehta> mcb_: cool, thanks. :)
[12:26] <abhinavmehta> mcb_: any idea, which port is used by pptpd ?
[12:26] <abhinavmehta> ohkk…I'll do nmap
[12:27] <mcb_>  abhinavmehta: I have no idea, but the nmap trick will do the job.....
[12:27] <abhinavmehta> mcb_: yeah…thanks pal :)
[12:27] <[Si]> pptp = 1723 + GRE ( protocol 47)
[12:28] <abhinavmehta> [Si]: thanks…BTW I got that by the time. But thanks :)
[12:34] <iLogical> I am getting this problem: http://i.imgur.com/haSlQ.png . what can I do?
[12:35] <abhinavmehta> well, with necat, I found pptpd-server is up and running, but if I'm using MacBook/iPhone as clients it's saying "you are disconnected by the communication device. Try reconnecting …"
[12:35] <abhinavmehta> any idea, whats fishy..?
[12:42] <JSeymour> Good day.  I'm getting this http://paste.ubuntu.com/892113/ when running the update manager this morning.  There's *plenty* of space in /usr.  Reinstall: Same result.  What's up?
[12:44] <bal> could you halp me to install a printere step by step? ubuntu 11.10 canon printer- LBP2900
[12:44] <dr_willis_> canon is kniwn to often have poor linux support.
[12:45] <Pratik> hi
[12:45] <dr_willis_> if its supported a printer should plug in and just work.
[12:45] <bal> dr_willis_: it is not working
[12:46] <dr_willis_> chevked the printer support site to see if its even working?
[12:46] <dr_willis_> err supported
[12:47] <JSeymour> What dr_willis_ said.  One of the reasons I won't buy Canon any more, @home or @work.
[12:47] <bal> dr_willis_: printer is shows when i add printer but not working
[12:47] <bal> any  way   i need to use  na
[12:49] <dr_willis_> check the cups logs. and askubuntu.com it may need some extra package
[12:49] <Glacee> What would be the best way to set up a mirror?
[12:50] <JSeymour> bal: As dr_willis_ asked: Did you check the printer support site to see if that printer is supported?
[12:50] <bal> dr_willis_:  it is there but i don't know how to do it
[12:50] <bal> to much scripts  and am new to ubuntu
[12:51] <JSeymour> bal: I assume you're using CUPS.  I just entered "2900" into the driver search and came up empty.  Just because CUPS "sees" it doesn't mean CUPS *supports* it.
[12:51] <sacarlson> bal: I had a canon printer IP1880 and never got it to work in 64bit ubuntu, I did have success with 32bit as they didn't release an open driver and at the time only supported 32bit
[12:52] <bal> i downloded the cann CAPT CAP
[12:52] <QA> hey all
[12:52] <QA> quick question
[12:52] <QA> ctrl_z
[12:52] <QA> suspends job
[12:52] <QA> when I fg it ... does it continue from where it was?
[12:52] <bal> JSeymour:  i don't  konw CUPS
[12:53] <dr_willis_> i tossed my canons.
[12:53] <QA> as in when I ctrl+z it ... is says Stopped
[12:53] <JSeymour> bal: Common Unix Printer Support.  Almost certainly what your system is using.
[12:53] <QA> doh .... was meant to be ctrl+z .... PLUS
[12:53] <QA> lol
[12:53] <dr_willis_> QA:  or use bg command.
[12:53] <bal> JSeymour: thank you
[12:53] <JSeymour> QA: Normally, yes
[12:54] <QA> so it basically "pauses" it ?
[12:54] <JSeymour> bal: It does not appear there's support for the LBP2900.
[12:54] <JSeymour> QA: Yes
[12:54] <QA> JSeymour: thank you very much for your help! :)
[12:55] <dr_willis_> check bash job control guides.
[12:55] <QA> dr_willis: tx, I will do
[12:55] <bal> JSeymour: ok
[12:55] <JSeymour> bal: Toss it and buy a Brother :)
[12:56] <bal> JSeymour: if its mine i can but it is were i work and there are most of printers are cannon
[12:56] <bal> most used printers too
[12:58] <John> I'm experiencing some difficulties with Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). I, sucessfully, followed the guide on the official documentation. It is now, however, disconnecting every now and again from the connected computer, which it's sharing the connecting with.
[12:59] <John> can someone kindly help me?
[12:59] <JSeymour> bal: *nod*  Sorry, don't have an answer for you.  Like I said: You're discovering one of the reasons I won't buy Canon anymore.  Last time I renewed copier/printer/scanner leases @work, stayed w/Canon.  Next time it'll be something else.  They're horrible.
[12:59] <bal> js
[13:00] <bal> JSeymour: ok
[13:00] <bal>  see you all
[13:04] <sarthor> how can i move files of specific extentions like .jpg .flv .mp4 etc from a directory that is having subdirectories to another directory.
[13:05] <ome> Can you copy files to SSH client from Server using interactive shell ?
[13:05] <norbert79> sarthor: Well, "mv *.jpg ../subdirectory" as an example
[13:05] <norbert79> sarthor: or, "mv *.jpg ./subdirectory" as an example
[13:06] <dr_willis_> scp is ssh copy. very handy toil
[13:06] <dr_willis_> tool
[13:06] <klync> sarthor: `find /orig/dir -name "*.jpg" -or .... -exec mv {} /new/dir/ \;`
[13:06] <sarthor> norbert79: therer are more directories in one direcory. Will it work for all then
[13:07] <klync> sarthor: or rsync with some combo of include / exclude patterns
[13:07] <sarthor> great.. klync
[13:07] <norbert79> sarthor: Agree, depends on what you would like to achieve
[13:07] <klync> sarthor: the first won't preserve directory structure; the second would
[13:07] <norbert79> sarthor: and it also depends if it's repeated or not
[13:08] <ome> dr_willis_: that way I need to know the client IP right ?
[13:09] <Zaitzev> uhm, the top bar and sidebar (Unity) just disappeared/closed/crashed. How do I get them back? lol..
[13:09] <ome> Zaitzev: `unity --reset &` should help.
[13:09] <ome> Oh wait no.
[13:09] <ome> DON"T DO IT.
[13:09] <ome> `unity --replace &` should work better.
[13:09] <Zaitzev> I haven't. :P
[13:09] <Zaitzev> replace huh, I'll try
[13:09] <ome> great. :)
[13:10] <ome> with reset you will lose the setting you have made.
[13:10] <Zaitzev> that helped
[13:10] <ome> Great.
[13:10] <Birk_> Anyone knows a command to get only the number of connections ni a determinated port ?
[13:10] <Zaitzev> yeah I know, not that I've made any change aside from hiding mounted drives
[13:10] <Zaitzev> thanks a bunch ome.
[13:10] <ome> not a problem.
[13:11] <Zaitzev> although, the "&" didn't do much good, there are still lines in terminal (WARN)
[13:11] <ome> Zaitzev: well, you can close the terminal and reopen it without killing unity.
[13:11] <Zaitzev> nvm, ^C worked fine..thought first it would close unity  :P
[13:12] <ome> Zaitzev: you can always try that sort of things in run (alt+F2), you miss out on the response/possible-erros though.
[13:12] <Gevz> hi all, somebody help me with bash scripting?
[13:12] <sarthor> klync:  `find /home/Desktop/22 -name "*.jpg" -or .... -exec cp {} /media/30C6A5FAC6A5C088/imran/ \;`
[13:12] <sarthor> find: paths must precede expression: ....
[13:12] <ome> Gabber: #bash
[13:12] <dr_willis_> Gevz:  give details.
[13:13] <Gevz> I`m reading data from file
[13:13] <CharminTheMoose> I'm compiling a 2.6.39 kernel with aufs support, but 'make modules_install' is only installing crypto modules, despite me doing a 'make allmodconfig'. .config looks like this: http://pastebin.ca/2130598 The output when I do make modules_install looks like: http://pastebin.ca/2130604
[13:14] <Pratik> I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed on my laptop in dual boot mode. The grub comes, and I'm able to see the login screen as well. But I'm not able to sign in. Password and other details are correct. I can access all the files throught the virtual terminal. When I sign in, a black screen comes which does not even last for a second and then again the login screen comes.
[13:14] <Gevz> and it reading like a string, but i need an integer
[13:14] <dr_willis_> !abs | gevz
[13:14] <Gevz> CURRENT=$(cat /home/test | awk '{print $0}'
[13:14] <Pratik> Basically, I cannot access via GUI
[13:15] <ome> Gevz: I would suggest you to ask in #bash, they have a pretty nice FAQ. also googling about type casting in bash should help.
[13:15] <JermBob> how do i stop my computer auto logging out so quickly
[13:15] <ome> Pratik: What Desktop Env. do you use ?
[13:15] <ome> Unity ?
[13:16] <JermBob> im over typing my password<PHONE_NUMBER>0x a day
[13:16] <Pratik> ome: yes
[13:16] <Gevz> ok, thanks guys
[13:16] <JermBob> typing it so much is insecure cause someone could see it
[13:16] <michal91> Hi, I have one question. how to check the IP by pidgin?
[13:17] <ome> Pratik: try installing something else, (i.e gnome-shell) and see if something is wrong with Desktop Env. (the unity) or something else.
[13:17] <Pratik> ome: what exactly do I need to install?
[13:18] <ome> gnome-shell.
[13:18] <ome> `apt-get install gnome-shell`
[13:18] <aristotle> I had to restart my router and now Ubuntu's wireless won't work. Wired works fine. Wireless works fine in Windows and Mac. Do I need to flush the dns or something?
[13:18] <Pratik> ome: ok fine
[13:19] <Pratik> ome: one more problem...i'm not able to download packages via apt-get on the virtual terminal
[13:19] <ome> JermBob: Maybe you should use a RFID or some other sort of Card based Securty. ? why you think it's insecure anyways ?
[13:19] <MonkeyDust> JermBob  the password is what makes Linux more secure than Windows
[13:19] <Pratik> ome: ping is successful
[13:19] <ome> Pratik: Have you altereted anything at all ? or having the problem since Fresh install ?
[13:20] <ome> MonkeyDust: Oh, come on. please. there is much more in Linux securty then password. :D
[13:20] <Pratik> ome: this happened recently, after I had put a file in the startup applications
[13:20] <ome> why don't you try removing that using the terminal ?
[13:20] <aristotle> Hello?
[13:20] <[Si]> MonkeyDust, it's much easier to bypass linux password than windows on a default install.
[13:20] <Pratik> ome: i've done that
[13:21] <Pratik> but the problem still persists
[13:21] <ome> Pratik: though. can you give more info about the problem ? have you got anything from Log files ?
[13:21] <MonkeyDust> [Si]  ome you're the first ones to disagree :s
[13:21] <Pratik> ome: i haven't modified any of the files
[13:21] <ome> [Si]: not that it's any difficult in windows either. :)
[13:22] <ome> Pratik: No, I mean have you tried to read and find out if there is any information logged about what is going wrong ?
[13:22] <[Si]> if you don't password grub you don't need boot disk/usb etc
[13:22] <Pratik> ome: i found how to delete the startup application using the terminal and deleted the file which I had put recently
[13:23] <Pratik> ome: nopes
[13:23] <[Si]> with windows at least you need a boot disk
[13:23] <ome> Pratik: perheps you should give `tail /var/log/syslog
[13:23] <ome> a try ?
[13:23] <Sidewinder1> aristotle, Perhaps you need to input the SSID?
[13:23] <ome> s/`/
[13:23] <JermBob> hello ?
[13:24] <kha_5001> hi
[13:24] <Pratik> ome: fine, I'll do that and get back
[13:24] <garmet> hello!
[13:24] <kha_5001> hi
[13:25] <ome> [Si]: fair. but IMO that is not much of securty meassure. :)
[13:26] <[Si]> ome indeed :) but the statement about linux and password making it secure was what I was questioning.
[13:26] <garmet> I am somewhat struggling with my dual screen setup. It works as intended, both screen works. The primary is 24" horizontal and the other is 22" vertical screen. Im using xinerama and would like to position the screens so that when I have a window in between them the borders of the window "align". I cant use negative offsets, that upset xorg...
[13:27] <[Si]> with physical access you are owned either os (without full disk encrypt)
[13:27] <ome> A really hard thing for lots of people to sollow. but deadly true.
[13:28] <[Si]> more than once I've had people blah blah my laptop has linux you can't get into it, reboot 2 seconds later I'm in as root :)
[13:28] <[Si]> just to make them re-think and make security better.
[13:29] <ome> garmet: not that you are in the wrong place to ask, but also consider #xorg
[13:29] <Todd> does truecrypt support full disk encryption with linux yet?
[13:29] <Todd> they've been doing windows for years
[13:29] <garmet> ome: that may work :D
[13:31] <ome> s/sollow/swallow
[13:31] <JermBob> hi
[13:31] <JermBob> so
[13:31] <JermBob> my ubuntu install, how can i stop it going to the login screen every 5 mins of inactivity ?
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> JermBob  System Settings - Power
[13:32] <m477> hi, does it go to work in fluxbox? q Mod4  :PrevWorkspace
[13:33] <jadahl> How can I install the arm version of libX11.so on my x86_64 system?
[13:33] <mcb_> JermBob: System Settings -> preferences -> ScreenSavers, disable the lock.
[13:33] <JermBob> MonkeyDust: i thought this myself but it keeps doing it
[13:33] <ome> m477: how is anyone here 'suppose' to know about fluxbox ?)
[13:33] <JermBob> mcb_:  ill try that, thanks
[13:33] <fabiansc> Hello everyone. I am missing "wlan0" in my terminal (iwconfig). I am using a BCM4312 chipset (Broadcom) and Ubuntu 11.10 with gnome 3.2. Can anyone help?
[13:33] <MonkeyDust> JermBob  maybe mcb_ 's advice is more useful
[13:33] <dr_willis_> fluxbox has a homepage and docs
[13:34] <JermBob> mcb_:  thanks
[13:34] <JermBob> MonkeyDust: you were close
[13:34] <JermBob> thanks tooo
[13:34] <almoxarife> JermBob: look at 'power-management' settings
[13:34] <ome> fabiansc: it's not always 'wlan0'. it could be wifi0 or something along these lines.  That was confusing
[13:37] <ome> fabiansc: if you are using that. then it's loaded for sure. :)  what do you get in the `iwconfig` already ?
[13:38] <Myrtti> dlentz: in the future, it helps if you append the call with | nickname of the troublemaker
[13:38] <playman> how can I see if my samba has a domain name?
[13:38] <fabiansc> its lo and eth0 (both: n wireless extension) and eth1 (IEEE 802.11 Access Point: Not-Associated Link QUality: 5 Signal Level 215 Noise Level: 199 Rx invalid nwid:0 invalid crypt:14 invalid misc: 0)
[13:38] <neo1691> My bootloader is grub2 and i am dualbooting windows 7 with ubuntu!! If i make another partition and install windows xp will it be detected by grub?
[13:39] <dlentz> Myrtti, noted
[13:39] <JSeymour> neo1691: If you install winXP it'll overwrite the boot block with its own loader
[13:39] <ome> fabiansc: the eth1 is the wireless interface.
[13:39] <fabiansc> neo1691: I guess windows xp will overwrite grub..?
[13:39] <fabiansc> ome: oh okay. I thought its my network cable-based one. Thank you
[13:39] <dlentz> xp will overwrite grub, but you can reinstall it with the livecd
[13:39] <ome> fabiansc: try `ifconfig` and you should see wlan0/wifi0 or something like that.
[13:39] <neo1691> fabiansc, JSeymour  Any solution?? how can i install ubuntu now?
[13:39] <neo1691> *sorry windows xp now
[13:39] <JSeymour> neo1691: Yeah, backup the boot block :)
[13:40] <neo1691> JSeymour,  How can i do that?? any links wil be helpful
[13:40] <mcb_> neo1691: Use a virtual machine, it is the simpler way.
[13:40] <ome> neo1691: most likely yes. and you need to reinstall grub2. do you have a diff. partation for your bootloader ?
[13:40] <fabiansc> neo1691: you can use a live cd to  get your bootloader back; or use ubuntu wubi
[13:40] <michal91> #ubuntu-pl
[13:40] <JSeymour> dd if=/dev/sdX of=<some-or-another-file> bs=512 count=1
[13:40] <dlentz> neo1691, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy_LiveCD_Files
[13:40] <neo1691> ome,  yes i do have a different partition for bootloader
[13:40] <JSeymour> neo1691: Lemme double-chech that syntax, tho
[13:40] <fabiansc> neo1691: ubuntu wubi is a program fo windows; you "install" ubuntu this way in windows bootloader
[13:41] <neo1691> fabiansc,  if i install xp in an altogether different partition then i wont be able to boot into xp right?
[13:41] <fabiansc> ome: ifconfig gives me eth0, eth1 (with an inet adress, so i guess its my wlan0?) and lo
[13:41] <neo1691> sorry i wont be able to boot into ubuntu right
[13:41] <ome> fabiansc: most likely,
[13:42] <ome> neo1691: nope. not after you install XP.
[13:42] <JSeymour> neo1691: http://paste.ubuntu.com/892187/
[13:42] <ome> once you install XP all you need to do is reinstall/update-grub2 and you should be fine again.
[13:43] <JSeymour> ome: You don't need to reinstall Grub.  You just need to restore the MBR.
[13:43] <fabiansc> neo1691: I think you. If you install Windows, it will overwrite your bootloader. Ununtu will insert your windows partition into grub. Another way is ubuntu wubi. It is like a program for windows, which has a virtual disk (like a virtual machine) but will be executed by the bootloader
[13:43] <mcb_> fabiansc: You can tell which eth is wich by the MAC ADDRESS, as normaly the MAC is assossiate with the manufactor.
[13:43] <fabiansc> ome: thank you very much.
[13:43] <ome> JSeymour: restore MBR is what update-grub2 does. :)
[13:44] <JSeymour> neo1691: You'll have to boot into a LiveCD thing, open a terminal, and "sudo ..." to do part 2.
[13:44] <fabiansc> mcb_: ah ok. I didn't think about that. I need to "update" my wireless card for my it-security lecture (aircrack stuff); therefore I needed to use my wlan0 / eth1 :-) Thanks so much
[13:44] <Defusal> i don't quite get this, i switched from putty to SecureCRT recently for my windows ssh client, as it got the best ratings. but now with this client, if my connection dies, all processing running in ssh sessions continue in the background, which forces me to kill them manually later to free listening ports and stuff... does anyone have any idea why this would be happening?
[13:44] <JSeymour> neo1691: You'll also have to know where you save the MBR to, and mount the partition that's on
[13:45] <JSeymour> neo1691: *Don't* save it to /tmp, on the running system, if /tmp is a RAM fs ;)
[13:46] <JSeymour> (The foregoing all assumes the reader has reasonable 'nix skillz.)
[13:46] <neo1691> JSeymour,  its difficult for me it seems
[13:47] <JSeymour> neo1691: You have a thumb drive?  Save it to that.
[13:48] <JSeymour> Let's say you plug the thumb drive in an Linux mounts it as "Thumb".  It'll be under /media/Thumb
[13:48] <ome> JSeymour: from what I see, he doesn't know how to backup the MBR. that is why I suggested to reinstall Grub2. considering that he has a diff. partation for bootloader.
[13:48] <neo1691> JSeymour,  ok i willl give it a try!!
[13:48] <JSeymour> Or try ome's suggestion.
[13:48] <sarthor> I am trying to move files with some extentions, but no success. here is the problem. `find -P /home/safa/Desktop/22/ -name "*.jpg" -or .... -exec mv {} /media/HardDisk/22 \;`
[13:48] <sarthor> find: paths must precede expression: ....
[13:48] <sarthor> Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression]
[13:49] <JSeymour> ome: The MBR is always in the same place.
[13:49] <sarthor> klync: please check this again.
[13:50] <JSeymour> neo1691: Let's say your thumb drive is mounted as "Thumb".  It'll be in /media/Thumb.
[13:50] <neo1691> Can easyBCD help me in that case??
[13:51] <JSeymour> So if you "dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/Thumb/MBR_backup bs=512 count=1"...
[13:51] <klync> sarthor: you're not literally using "...", are you? I meant to replace that with the other extensions you want to find. see the man page for more details
[13:52] <JSeymour> Then, when you boot off the live CD, plug in the thumb drive, see where it mounts it (may be the same) and do the 2nd part.  Either sudo or su -.
[13:52] <playman> how can I see if my samba has a domain name?
[13:52] <sarthor> klync: I am new to linux. and i also want to mv .jpg extentions.
[13:53] <ome> JSeymour: but doesn't it has to be update to read the Grub partation as active rather then that of last installed OS (XP in this case) ?
[13:53] <thetinyjesus> can anyone help with getting an nvidia 310m card working?
[13:54] <ome> thetinyjesus: Nope. No one would really help you unless you try it yourself and have a specific problem that you can't solve. :)
[13:54] <JSeymour> If the Live CD system doesn't mount the thumb drive automatically, you can "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt", for example, in which case your thumb drive will now appear under /mnt
[13:54] <geirha> sarthor: find /home/safa/Desktop/22/ \( -name "*.jpg" -o -name "*.flv" -o -name "*.mp3" \) -exec mv {} /media/HardDisk/22 \;
[13:54] <thetinyjesus> ome, i'
[13:54] <thetinyjesus> ome, ive tried to do several different things which all cause my computer to disable all display adapters
[13:54] <JSeymour> ome: It's been my experience that 'doze doesn't mess with partition active, etc. status'
[13:55] <nicola> hi
[13:55] <JSeymour> neo1691: Might not be a bad idea to boot off a LiveCD before you start to see how the thumb drive is handled and what you're going to have to do
[13:55] <riveryk> alguien me ayuda, utilidad de discos no detecta mi disco externo, que puedo hacer???
[13:56] <ome> JSeymour: I don't know much of about BIOS, but if MBR and Active partation is constant how does diff. OS/bootlaoders are loaded ?
[13:56] <gfc> need
[13:57] <ome> s/of about/about
[13:57] <JSeymour> Doesn't the MBR point to the desired bootloader?  Isn't that what a Master Boot Record is?
[13:58] <JSeymour> Thing is: Doing it my way, I think you have to somehow tell Grub about the new 'doze partition.  I don't recall.
[13:58] <ome> JSeymour: so that means, you have to update the MBR to laod the desired bootloader ?
[13:58] <JSeymour> neo1691: ^^^
[13:59] <JSeymour> ome: That's the way *I* understand it works: Yes.
[13:59] <ome> JSeymour: 'aight then. I thought you said its always the same.
[13:59] <JSeymour> ome: That's why, when you install a new 'doze, you lose Linux entirely, because the 'doze install overwrites the MBR with a new one.
[14:00] <JSeymour> ome: No: I said it's always in the same place.
[14:00] <JSeymour> 1st 512 bytes of the raw device.
[14:00] <neo1691> JSeymour, Ok i will try to do that!! But i am a noob at linux commands. You still helped me a lot
[14:00] <ome> and to tell the Grub about the new partation, you can edit the grub.conf yourself or just run `update-grub2` and let it find all OS itself.
[14:00] <neo1691> :)
[14:00] <ome> JSeymour: oh my bad then. :)
[14:00] <JSeymour> :)
[14:00] <JSeymour> ome: That's what I *meant* to say, anyway :)
[14:01] <ome> :)
[14:02] <playman> how can I see if my samba has a domain name? any one?
[14:02] <JSeymour> Look in smb.conf?
[14:02] <JSeymour> run smbclient?
[14:02] <JSeymour> run nmblookup?
[14:02] <ome> I am off. peace out.
[14:02]  * JSeymour waves
[14:03] <Oer>  playman, normally samba does not give you a domainname, unless you provide one.
[14:03] <chrisfromthebay> Hey guys. I just created a LiveUSB of Ubuntu 12. Is there a way to change the boot options from within, to enable persistence?
[14:03] <JSeymour> playman: N.B.: Windows "domain" and DNS "domain" are Not The Same Thing
[14:03] <Oer> chrisfromthebay, join #Ubuntu+1 for 12.04 beta
[14:04] <oCean> chrisfromthebay: Precise/12.04 is not yet released (now beta). Please /join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion
[14:04] <fabiansc> Hi again. I am on my way to patch my wireless card for using aircrack (IT Security Lecture at university). The manual says I need to decide which kernel version I am useing (3.2 or newer) or (older kerlnels)
[14:04] <fabiansc> Do they mean my linux kernel (I guess it's 3.0) or a "wireless kernel" if this exists
[14:04] <ikonia> fabiansc: there is no such thing as a wireless kernel
[14:04] <theadmin> fabiansc: Which Ubuntu version are you using? The latest kernel in Ubuntu, if I recall correctly, is 3.1
[14:05] <ikonia> fabiansc: the fact that you are not comfortable with this inforamtion suggests you should not be trying to patch the kernel
[14:05] <nlko> hi guys, i have added "profile" tpo my grub boot conf, do i leave it there, or do i remove it after a few boots?
[14:05] <nlko> one blog i read suggests i remove it once it has profiled?
[14:05] <fabiansc> theadmin: Ubuntu 11.10 :-) Is there a way to check the kernel version?
[14:05] <nlko> im trying to get a faster boot time
[14:05] <playman> Oer: ok, but I didint install the samba originally, it was allready installed, there for i'm trying to find this out
[14:05] <theadmin> fabiansc: uname -r
[14:05] <mcb_> playman: In /etc/samba/cmb.conf the tag WORKGROUP= <domain name>
[14:05] <ikonia> fabiansc: I very very VERY strongly advise you not to try to patch the kernel at your current ability
[14:06] <fabiansc> ikonia: thanks for the advise; but I need to based on my lecture. I guess it can only kick ubuntu down; so I need to reinstall it.
[14:06] <theadmin> Speaking of custom kernels, how do you generate initrd/initcpio on Ubuntu?
[14:06] <ikonia> fabiansc: I doubt your lecture forces you to do something like this
[14:06] <mcb_> playman:: Also see if the setting domain master is set to yes. If so your samba is the domain master.
[14:07] <abhinavmehta> I'm trying to configure 'pptp' eg. VPN-server…while doing that, I'm confused at /etc/pptpd.conf attribute localip & remoteip….
[14:08] <abhinavmehta> My local network is behind the wireless router…so IP should be 192.xxx something eg. local-ips…or should I provide ISP-provided ups..?
[14:08] <fabiansc> ikonia: We need to simulate an attack on a wireless lan and present the results... there is no further support... but that's my problem :-)
[14:08] <fabiansc> we are writing a seminarpaper about it afterwards
[14:08] <ikonia> fabiansc: have you considered using a distro that is aimed to do that
[14:09] <latifani> hi
[14:09] <fabiansc> I was thinking about backtrack 3, but it didn't work with my hardware
[14:09] <ikonia> fabiansc: with the utmost respect, how can you give a lecture on something like this when you have no understanding of how to use/manage the tool
[14:09] <theadmin> fabiansc: Try backtrack, I say. Messing with the kernel is, in general, a bad idea. Unless you're running gentoo I guess.
[14:09] <ikonia> fabiansc: why not a modern backtrack install
[14:09] <Defusal_> in case anyone answered my question while i was timing out, please repaste it
[14:09] <fabiansc> ikonia: my hardware is completely not supporter. I tried it before.
[14:09] <Defusal_> because now i have the issue again, and would really like to know why it is happening
[14:10] <playman> mcb_: you mean the "domain logons"? it's uncommented (it has the ; sign in front of it)
[14:10] <theadmin> Defusal_: Repeat your question please, since a ton of lines was here after you asked, likely
[14:10] <ikonia> fabiansc: backtrack is based on ubuntu
[14:10] <ikonia> fabiansc: so if ubuntu works, backtrack will work
[14:10] <Defusal_> i don't quite get this, i switched from putty to SecureCRT recently for my windows ssh client, as it got the best ratings. but now with this client, if my connection dies, all processing running in ssh sessions continue in the background, which forces me to kill them manually later to free listening ports and stuff... does anyone have any idea why this would be happening?
[14:10] <nibbler_> suddenly my center mousebutton does not paste anymore. any hint where to configure this?
[14:11] <fabiansc> ikonia: It doesn't boot at all and stuck while booting; only hard reset helps. Ubuntu boots fine. I don't know what else could be the issue. MD5 is fine.
[14:11] <xerz> hey can someone tell me whats the command for unix to download irssi on a VPS?
[14:11] <theadmin> Defusal_: I think that's a normal behaviour. Nothing kills the processes => they continue running
[14:11] <JSeymour> Need some help w/b0rk3d upgrade: Got this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/892113/ then tried this http://paste.ubuntu.com/892221/
[14:11] <ikonia> fabiansc: what version of backtrack have you tried ?
[14:11] <Defusal_> theadmin, err, that is not how ssh sessions work...
[14:11] <mcb_> playman: Both # and ; characters comments lines in smb.conf
[14:11] <fabiansc> BT3 RC something (actual)
[14:11] <Defusal_> when the ssh session dies, so do all processes that it is running
[14:11] <theadmin> Defusal_: Eh... Hm.
[14:11] <xerz> anyone?
[14:11] <ikonia> fabiansc: ok, that is very old, try a modern version, backtrack 4 - 5
[14:11] <nmvictor> I hav an old laptop that cant boot USB drive, the CD drive is not working and so the only available solution is network booting via PXE. Is their a guru on this area to take me through, I already have dhcp3-server and tftpboot installed in the machine i  want to set up as server. I dont knwo what next, someone please take me through.
[14:11] <oCean> Defusal_: try contacting the maintainers of that client program, it is not an ubuntu issue
[14:12] <Defusal_> oCean, my question is not how to fix the client, its how this is possible in the first place
[14:12] <oCean> Defusal_: it is not an ubuntu issue, so offtopic for this channel
[14:12] <Defusal_> it breaks ssh's expected behaviour
[14:12] <MonkeyDust> xerz  depends on what package manager Unix uses
[14:12] <fabiansc> ikonia: Ah that's old? Huh - than I'll take a second look for it. Thanks
[14:12] <Defusal_> oCean, ok, then i will rephrase my question
[14:13] <garmet> not much response from #xorg :( anyone can take a look at this? http://pastebin.com/KU0qMH0m I'm trying to figure out why changing: "Screen1" RELATIVE "Screen0" 1920 0    ->   1920 200 increases the window alignment gap instead of decreasing it :(
[14:13] <ikonia> fabiansc: I promise using a distro that is built to do what you want rather than trying to patch the ubuntu kernel, will be a lot lot easier
[14:13] <xerz> MonkeyDust: Linux expres 2.6.18-274.7.1.el5.028stab095.1 #1 SMP Mon Oct 24 20:49:24 MSD 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
[14:13] <ikonia> ahhh a redhat kernel
[14:13] <oCean> Defusal_: it will not change your real subject, your new windows client. Please don't ask here
[14:13] <playman> allright thank you fro that mcb_
[14:13] <ikonia> xerz: xen host by any chance
[14:13] <railsraider> anyone can help with ssh issue? i am able to connect one eth1 but not on eth0
[14:13] <dwarvenbasterd> test
[14:13] <xerz> yea
[14:13] <latifani> how can i connect my local lan to ubuntu on my laptop
[14:13] <xerz> i need help to install irssi thoguh
[14:13] <nmvictor> Is it possiblr to boot a remastered ubuntu ISO via PXE network booting?
[14:13] <Defusal_> oCean: if you are unable to help, rather keep quiet please
[14:13] <xerz> what command would i use?
[14:14] <fabiansc> ikonia: do you know whether i can install it like my ubuntu right now (via wubi)?
[14:14] <ikonia> xerz: please pastebin the output of lsb_release -a
[14:14] <ikonia> fabiansc: no, and you're using wubi, bad idea
[14:14] <Defusal_> how is it possible to disconnect from a SSHd, without the session dying? i have always assumed this is impossible, but since i now see it is possible, i'd like to know how it can be done, and if it is possible to reconnect to the same session again
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> xerz  or simply lsb_release -sd
[14:14] <oCean> Defusal_: no, I am pointing out the guidelines for you. If you can't behave accordingly, I'll have to mute or remove you
[14:14] <xerz> ikonia: Distributor ID:	Debian Description:	Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.8 (lenny) Release:	5.0.8 Codename:	lenny
[14:14] <ikonia> fabiansc: if you are going to do a job - do it right, get a distro like back track, install it properly in a dual boot setup
[14:14] <nmvictor> Any help with PXE booting, please!
[14:14] <ikonia> xerz: #debian would be the channel you want
[14:15] <fabiansc> hmm that's bad.  Ubuntu wubi is fine for me. So I need to make a second partition
[14:15] <Defusal_> oCean, i am well aware of the guidelines, my question is perfectly valid, please stop harrassing me
[14:15] <xerz> lol, cbf going there now
[14:15] <ikonia> nmvictor: are you using ubuntu or debian
[14:15] <ikonia> xerz: ok, bye then
[14:15] <usuario> olaaa
[14:15] <bazhang> !es | usuario
[14:15] <nmvictor> ikonia: unbuntu
[14:15] <nmvictor> ikonia: ubuntu
[14:16] <mcb_> railsraider: Do your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file ListenAddress <IP_ADDRESS>. If not, SSH will only listen in the IP setted here.
[14:16] <nmvictor> ikonia: will you please take me throu'
[14:16] <Defusal_> but i guess maybe a general linux channel will be able to provide an answer, since sshd isnt exactly specific to ubuntu
[14:16] <JSeymour> Defusal_: Gotta go w/oCean on this one: Your question seems OT for this channel.  Neither component are Ubuntu things.  One is either SSH or OpenSSH, the other a Windows application.
[14:16] <Zaitzev> What command do I run in terminal to give full read+write access to /var/www and all files and subfolders, with a user other than root?
[14:16] <ikonia> Defusal_: there are some windows clients that work like screen
[14:16] <[Si]> Defusal_ I would say look at screen ctrl-a d disconnects screen -r rejoins.
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> Defusal_  maybe this link is useful http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/02/03/keeping-ssh-sessions-alive/
[14:16] <ikonia> Defusal_: they run a daemon and the client connects to that daemon that does the ssh work
[14:16] <JSeymour> Defusal_: SSH isn't specific to anything, really.
[14:17] <Defusal_> JSeymour, ok, i will try find someone related to sshd, please make sure everyone in here refuses to help anyone with anything related to ssh in the future. thanks
[14:17] <JSeymour> *sigh*
[14:17] <ikonia> nmvictor: what part of pxe booting are you not clear with ?
[14:17] <Defusal_> [Si], i am not talking about screen.
[14:17] <bazhang> !attitude > Defusal_
[14:17] <Defusal_> i should have made that more clear
[14:17] <ikonia> Defusal_: I didn't say you where talking about screen
[14:17] <ikonia> Defusal_: re-read what I said
[14:17] <ikonia> Defusal_: I said there are some clients that act LIKE screen
[14:17] <Defusal_> bazhang, my attitude was fine until i got harassed
[14:18] <Defusal_> ikonia, i have not yet responding to you
[14:18] <ikonia> Defusal_: in that the front end you see isn't actually doing the work , the application daemon is
[14:18] <bazhang> Defusal_, thats enough.
[14:18] <JSeymour> Defusal_: You're more likely to get better help elsewhere, is all I'm saying.  You're looking for expertise that might better be found elsehwere.
[14:18] <Defusal_> responded*
[14:18] <Defusal_> JSeymour, i got that, thanks
[14:18] <MonkeyDust> Defusal_  there's also the channel #network or #networking
[14:18] <nmvictor> ikonia: well, im not clear with the settings to write to /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
[14:18] <JSeymour> Defusal_: You're welcome.  Good luck finding your answer.
[14:19] <ikonia> nmvictor: ok, are you following a guide ?
[14:19] <nmvictor> ikonia: I was, some web pages
[14:19]  * JSeymour wonders if he should try *his* question on #debian?
[14:19] <ikonia> nmvictor: which ones
[14:20] <Defusal_> ikonia, i am pretty sure theres no daemon involved
[14:20] <nmvictor> ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto
[14:21] <Defusal_> MonkeyDust: no sshd or server configuration has changed
[14:21] <ikonia> nmvictor: ok, so looking at the dhcp server config example in that link, what part isn't clear ?
[14:22] <MonkeyDust> Defusal_  it seems you're refusing each and any tip you're getting here, better ask your question in the #network channel
[14:22] <nmvictor> ikonia: First, the address used after subnet, does it have to be the one used or is their a particular one I have to use?
[14:22] <Defusal_> MonkeyDust, my question is quite specific, but as i said, i will try ask in other linux related channels
[14:23] <Defusal_> and im not refusing anything
[14:23] <Defusal_> i am looking for a very specific answer
[14:23] <ikonia> Defusal_: contact the application vendor for an explination
[14:23] <nibbler_> resolved: defective mouse key :(
[14:23] <Defusal_> ikonia, my question is unrelated to the client, i want to know how sshd possibly allows this
[14:23] <Defusal_> and how i can exploit it to resume sessions
[14:24] <ikonia> Defusal_: you'll need to know how the client works to understand that
[14:24] <Defusal_> but most importantly, how it is possible in the first place
[14:24] <ikonia> Defusal_: as I said it maybe running a daemon/service as some windows ssh clients do
[14:24] <ikonia> Defusal_: finding out from the client vendor how it works is the first step
[14:24] <Defusal_> ikonia, as i said, im pretty sure theres no daemon, i am looking at my process list now
[14:24] <ikonia> Defusal_: sorry, I didn't know you could read instead all the applications binaries
[14:25] <ikonia> Defusal_: ask the vendor how it works, once they explain how it works you can look at working out if this is a risk or not
[14:25] <ikonia> it's pointless to speculate
[14:25] <ikonia> get facts, work with facts
[14:25] <Defusal_> regardless of the clients works, sshd either has a serious flaw, or a feature
[14:25] <nmvictor> ikonia: is their a proble using any address?
[14:25] <Defusal_> either way, i want to know about it
[14:25] <Halli> !identify
[14:25]  * JSeymour suspects a client-side "SO" setting on the 'doze side...
[14:25] <ikonia> nmvictor: it's your dhcp pool
[14:25] <ikonia> Defusal_: then ask the client maker how it works and you can work out if it's an ssh security flaw, or just the client doing work for you and it's fine
[14:25] <oCean> JSeymour: no need for /me commands. Also, the MS product is called "Windows", please don't use silly misspellings
[14:28] <JSeymour> oCean: If you had to ride herd on a corral-full of *Windows* boxen, you might not regard "silly misspellings" as quite so silly ;)
[14:30] <gandhijee_> hey, i seem to have lost the ability to use the mouse and click on my windows.... i can see the cursor and click the titlebars in the bar at the bottom
[14:30] <gandhijee_> but i can't actually get to the menus or anything in the windows....any ideas?
[14:30] <jamesbeebop> Hello all.  I have 11.10 64 bit running as a guest inside virtualbox, hosted on 64bit Windows 7.  Display is listed as "VBX", and I'm using the xfce window manager.  When I drag a window (or sometimes resize, or otherwise 'move' it) some of the text, or window dressing, or both goes fuzzy, with artifacts all over the place, and won't refresh.  If I minimize it, or pop another window on top (or otherwise force the refresh) it
[14:31] <mneptok> JSeymour: 'round these parts we don't take too kindly to folk slingin' stuff ovber fences, son. don't make me get all ornery and take Ol' Reliable out.
[14:31] <jo__> hello, i got a question, can anybody tell me where i can download ubuntu <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[14:31] <auronandace> !8.04 | jo__
[14:32] <theShadow-> good evening gentlemen
[14:32] <ikonia> jo__: that distro is end of life, are you %100 sure you want that one
[14:32] <mneptok> jo__: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/
[14:32] <mi3> Hello!
[14:32] <mneptok> ikonia: 12 months left for server support.
[14:32] <ikonia> mneptok: true
[14:33] <mneptok> jo__: what ikonia said is 100% valid unless you are installing the server edition. and if you are, why not wait a couple weeks until the next LTS release drops?
[14:33] <mi3> can someone suggest how can I grep specific information from a website?
[14:33] <theShadow-> I am soon going to attempt installing ubuntu in a partition on my apple laptop
[14:33] <jo__> i am. its for an ums system i am goint to set up
[14:33] <nmvictor> ikonia: Do you mind if i get back to you later. Thanks.
[14:34] <mneptok> jo__: you do not want to be deploying production systems on a release that old and that close to EOL.
[14:35] <theShadow-> does anyone here have any experience with installing ubuntu from OSX?
[14:35] <auronandace> jo__: 10.04 is also lts and supported til 2015
[14:35] <auronandace> !mac | theshadow
[14:35] <jo__> it is for school =)
[14:36] <theShadow-> oh also
[14:36] <jo__> i would prefer a stable version too but i got old scripts =(
[14:36] <theShadow-> every guide i have found recommends using rEFIt
[14:36] <mneptok> jo__: i would not start building systems on a 4 year old release.
[14:36] <theShadow-> but as far as I know, it does not yet work with 10.7
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> 10.7?
[14:37] <theShadow-> lion
[14:37] <theShadow-> latest version of OSX
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> ok
[14:38] <theShadow-> as far as I can tell, the reason for installing it is, if I install linux in a partition, my computer will automatically default to linux, instead of OSX
[14:38] <theShadow-> or something
[14:39] <mneptok> theShadow-: i have no experience with Macs, but my Thinkpad with UEFI did not require rEFIt.
[14:39] <theShadow-> ok
[14:39] <theShadow-> I will just install it
[14:40] <theShadow-> whats the worse that could happen, right? :p
[14:40] <theShadow-> ok next question
[14:40] <mneptok> theShadow-: you should see a very small FAT32 or FAT partition on the disk. be sure to tell Linux to mount this at /boot/efi/
[14:40] <jo__> theShadow: just press alt at boot and you can choose your partition
[14:40] <WLU> how can I tell what video driver is in use?
[14:41] <theShadow-> what format should I make the linux partition>
[14:41] <theShadow-> ?
[14:41] <Abhijit> ext4
[14:42] <theShadow-> ok, can ubuntu reformat the partition to what it needs?
[14:42] <Abhijit> yes
[14:42] <theShadow-> ok
[14:42] <auronandace> WLU: lspci will tell you what graphics card you have and lsmod will list the modules loaded
[14:42] <auronandace> WLU: lspci | grep vga
[14:43] <oCean> WLU: and lscpi -k will show the modules used for that device, for example   lspci -k |grep -i vga -A 3
[14:43] <auronandace> oCean: cool, i guess i was going the long way around :)
[14:44] <jo__> got it...thx to all who helped me. see you
[14:44] <oCean> auronandace: sometimes there are shortcuts :)
[14:44] <WLU> auronandace, oCean thanks foundit seems also modprobe -l will list all
[14:45] <theShadow-> ok here goes guys
[14:45] <theShadow-> wish me luck
[14:46] <WLU> auronandace, oCean I am tryinmg to get gnome-shell working with an  nVidia  GT218 [GeForce 8400 GS] card. I can only get it to work with the nvidia driver under classic. with the nouveau driver displays just shows one monitor and does not even recognize the second. Any ideas?
[14:47] <toobaz> Hello everybody. In evolution, the "From", "To", "Cc:" and "Subject" have disappeared. My evolution composer appears like that: http://pietrobattiston.it/c/evo.png . Anyone has any hints?
[14:47] <toobaz> I have no idea of what to do...
[14:48] <mi3> how can I grep information from a website using grep? Can someone suggest?
[14:48] <toobaz> mi3: you cannot, simply using grep. You can couple grep with wget, for instance. But for non-totally-trivial tasks, you'd better go with a simple python script.
[14:48] <jatt> mi3: lynx -dump www.google.com | grep google
[14:49] <mi3> toobaz, means i need to download the website with wget, then use grep, right?
[14:50] <jatt> nope, you can use lynx as I told you
[14:50] <sacarlson> WLU: was nvidea working before gnome-shell?  I installed gnome-shell with nvidea and didn't require any changes
[14:50] <toobaz> mi3: jatt's command works great fine if that's what you need
[14:50] <toobaz> (just "great")
[14:50] <roasted> Question - I was tinkering with Unison a little bit... is there a way to set custom flags for it, similar to rsync? -a, -t, etc?
[14:51] <sacarlson> WLU: oh I only run one monitor so me ??
[14:51] <WLU> sacarlson: yes it was but not with unity as well. Only classic will do
[14:51] <toobaz> mi3: no, please don't pm me (not even to ask me if you can pm me).
[14:51] <WLU> sacarlson: I think that might be the problem
[14:52] <WLU> anyone has nVidea driver working with two monitors and gnome-shell or unity?
[14:53] <isoscelesrectang> exit
[14:56] <WLU> exit

[15:10] <theShadow-> blaaarg
[15:10] <theShadow-> why does ubuntu require 3 partitions
[15:11] <ikonia> it doesn't
[15:11] <theShadow-> https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html
[15:11] <theShadow-> is that a windows thing then?
[15:11] <ikonia> theShadow-: what ?
[15:11] <theShadow-> it says in order to dual boot, it has to have 3 partitions
[15:12] <theShadow-> swap, root, and home
[15:12] <ikonia> no it doens't
[15:12] <MonkeyDust> theShadow-  on that page, it is advised to have a separate /home partition
[15:12] <ikonia> you only "need" root - you should probably have swap, and you can have /home on a seperate partition if you want to
[15:12] <theShadow-> ok
[15:12] <auronandace> theShadow-: only root is really required, but swap is recommended
[15:12] <tret> if you delete the ubuntu partition you won't be able to boot windows so it's prolly for boot
[15:12] <ikonia> you can do it with one partition, however two is more realistic as swap is useful on it's own partition
[15:12] <ikonia> tret: that has nothing to do with it
[15:13] <theShadow-> can I create the swap partition later?
[15:13] <MonkeyDust> theShadow-  you can disable it, with swapoff -a
[15:13] <mneptok> theShadow-: if you leave unpartitioned space, yes. but then you'll have to activate it all manually.
[15:13] <rebe> theshadow make swap file it's more handy
[15:13] <theShadow-> at this point, I want to keep everything as simple as possible, just to get it working to make sure I didn't break anything
[15:14] <mneptok> theShadow-: the simple approach is to create swap space during installation.
[15:14] <theShadow-> ok
[15:14] <bingomania> hey all DHCP question... I remember before when i use to run sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server it use to ask me setup questions (i.e. on what network interface should the dhcp server listen?)  How come it no longer asks these questions at install?
[15:14] <MonkeyDust> theShadow-  then use swap, it's default and you don't have to find out how to disable it
[15:14] <theShadow-> would you recommend creating all of the partitions from the installer?\
[15:14] <Urchin> is there any way of disabling framebuffer in 10.04?
[15:14] <e2xistz> if I have 16gb ram, should I have swap?
[15:14] <tret> so if you do plan to remove ubuntu windows won
[15:14] <bingomania> i'm trying to set up dhcp server and cant even start it prob cuzit doesnt know where to listen
[15:14] <mneptok> theShadow-: hibernating/suspending that MacBook will require swap space
[15:14] <tret> so if you do plan to remove ubuntu windows won't boot unless you make a boot partition for grub
[15:14] <theShadow-> ok
[15:14] <bingomania> how can i run the dhcp3-server initial configuration again?
[15:15] <mneptok> tret: untrue.
[15:15] <auronandace> tret: he is running a mac
[15:15] <mneptok> tret: remove Ubuntu, delete its partitions, run the MBR restore tool from Windows. done.
[15:16] <theShadow-> I had originally created the partition for window from OSX's disc utility
[15:16] <e2xistz> What's the name of this MBR restore tool?
[15:16] <theShadow-> er, for linux
[15:17] <mneptok> e2xistz: "fdisk /mbr" used to do it on NT3 and such
[15:17]  * mneptok has not used Windows since the 1990s
[15:17] <e2xistz> mneptok: What about Windows 7?
[15:17] <Egbert9s5> my disk space went 0 and now i'm getting weird errors. it's something to do with the ecryptfs
[15:17] <Egbert9s5> what do i do?
[15:18] <mneptok> e2xistz: invent a time machine, bring a copy of Win7 back to 1996, and i might know.
[15:18] <Sidewinder1> e2xistz, I believe that it's accessed by booting the Windows Repair disk and selecting fix/repair MBR.
[15:18] <e2xistz> mneptok: I do have a time machine, but currently it's forward only. Here, now, you have a Win 7.
[15:18] <mneptok> Egbert9s5: boot the system from live media (CD or USB), mount the encrypted filespace and look at what's using what.
[15:18] <theShadow-> ok, take 2
[15:19] <Egbert9s5> mneptok: what do you mean what's using what?
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> Egbert9s5  start here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560411
[15:19] <e2xistz> Sidewinder1: Yes, bootrec.exe /fixmbr /fixboot, but can you use it without a boot disc?
[15:20] <mneptok> Egbert9s5: you say available space dropped to 0. what is using that space and reporting those inodes as in use?
[15:21] <Egbert9s5> mneptok: some files are now unreadable
[15:21] <TorbenBeta> How can I write in a shell script (Bash) that the process shall be put on hold? Control plus c.
[15:21] <Sidewinder1> e2xistz, I'm not sure; like mneptok, I haven't used Win for a long time, also, never had to repair MBR, sorry.
[15:21] <bunny69> hello
[15:21] <bunny69> folks... i'm desperately trying to master vhosting... i know that there are so many docs and such... but still, vhosting gives me such a headache... perhaps someone could point me to a bullet proof solution? i just want to addd a vhost and forget about it instead of playing funny games with apache all the time
[15:22] <bingomania> can anyone help me get DHCP-SERVER started?
[15:22] <bunny69> e.g. i have 3 different domains on 3 vhosts right now... different IPs also, and now i added 4th vhost and out of the blue apache sends a visitor to same virtual dir for 2 of those 4 vhosts... why on earth is that?
[15:22] <bingomania> it wont start... usually during the install when i have done this in the past it just asks questions like (what interface do you want to listen on_)  and this time it never did
[15:23] <bunny69> bingomania did you check logs?
[15:23] <dlentz> TorbenBeta, sleep?  Maybe ask in #bash
[15:24] <bunny69> is there anyone really good with hosting multiple sites on a single machine (few IPs) willing to help me out and give a bullet proof solution on vhosting?
[15:25] <TorbenBeta> dlentz, thanks.
[15:25] <bingomania> bunny69 how do i see the syslogs for the dhcp server... i looked in /var/log/ but i see nothing there for dhcp
[15:25] <mneptok> bunny69: the bullet-proof solution is understanding how apache2 does this. not someone understanding it for you.
[15:25] <thedonvaughn> bunny69: depends on your webserver.  Just use VirtualHost in apache after turning it on and it's pretty simple
[15:25] <bunny69> well that's what i'm doing
[15:25] <bunny69> but
[15:25] <mneptok> bunny69: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/  <--- you understanding that yourself is the bullet-proof solution.
[15:26] <bunny69> i just added a new vhost... standard files in sites-enabled and sites-available... but out of the blue the same dir is used for TWO domains and i have NO idea why is that
[15:26] <mneptok> bunny69: because you copy/pasted
[15:26] <bunny69> i edited carefuly
[15:26] <bunny69> and so far it worked nicely for 3 domains
[15:26] <bingomania> bunny69: i cant find any logs for dhcpd
[15:27] <thedonvaughn> bunny69: so each of hte domains has their own virtualhost directive and a different documentroot?
[15:27] <bunny69> yes sir
[15:27] <atpa8a> hello
[15:27] <bittin> hi
[15:27] <atpa8a> seems like ubuntu is 'Starting OpenSSH server' once for everty NIC or alias...
[15:28] <bunny69> and this is why i don't really understand why wouldn't it work... especially because it did work for 3 domains before
[15:28] <atpa8a> is that true?
[15:28] <bunny69> i triple checked DocumentRoot for that 4th domain and it is well defined
[15:29] <bunny69> and for some stupid reason it works but it also made some previous domain point to the same dir
[15:29] <asarch> How do you transfer the ISO to a USB memory stick?
[15:29] <bunny69> while 2 other work just fine as usual...
[15:29] <asarch> UNetBootIn fails
[15:29] <asarch> :-(
[15:30] <asarch> Can you dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/myusb
[15:30] <asarch> ?
[15:30] <bingomania> anyone know why i cant find the dhcpd log anywhere
[15:30] <bingomania> i'm having issues starting dhcp3-server  it after a fresh install an
[15:30] <auronandace> asarch: if it is 11.10 yes
[15:30] <bingomania> and i cant find tit anywhere in the syslog
[15:30] <bazhang> asarch, as of 11.10 the iso are hybrid
[15:31] <bingomania> i cant believe this is an issue... i've never had this problem with dhcp3-server
[15:31] <bingomania> (guess it's now ISC Dhcp server)
[15:31] <droid-0854> asarch, might get root check error
[15:32] <atpa8a> asarch: don't think so... Universal USB Installer but it's for windows
[15:33] <bunny69> ok... thanks for your help... when 1631 are in and no one can help with vhosting then something is damn wrong...
[15:33] <asarch> Thank you very much guys :-)
[15:33] <asarch> Thank you
[15:34] <droid-0854> :)
[15:34] <dasunsrule32> Does anyone have a Dell Latitude E6510 and the closing the lid won't sleep on 12.04? I'm running gnome-shell, latest from the precise repos
[15:34] <bazhang> dasunsrule32, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04
[15:35] <dasunsrule32> ok
[15:35] <dasunsrule32> thanks
[15:35] <dasunsrule32> ;)
[15:39] <zer0her0> here's a dumb question, why do some packaged get kept back when doing a apt-get upgrade?
[15:40] <auronandace> zer0her0: did you apt-get update before the apt-get upgrade?
[15:41] <zer0her0> auronandace, yep
[15:41] <zer0her0> sudo'd of course ;)
[15:41] <auronandace> zer0her0: got any extra repos or ppas installed?
[15:42] <atpa8a> hmm
[15:42] <atpa8a> freaking resolveconf
[15:42] <atpa8a> not updating /etc/resolv.conf
[15:42] <zer0her0> yes to repos but not to the PPAs
[15:43] <auronandace> zer0her0: that is likely why then, the conflicts are likely in the repos you added
[15:43] <zer0her0> things being held back aren't from the extra repo(s)(not sure if it's just one there maybe 2 repos i've added)
[15:44] <quiescens> zer0her0: you should most likely do apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:44] <auronandace> zer0her0: what is being held back?
[15:44] <zer0her0> it's linux-(headers-/image-)generic and 2 flashplugin items
[15:44] <zer0her0> quiescens, dist-upgrade?
[15:45] <bazhang> zer0her0, yes, it's not a version upgrade
[15:45] <bazhang> !dist-upgrade | zer0her0
[15:45] <zer0her0> ah ok sweet, hehe thanks :)
[15:46] <zer0her0> Do you want to continue [Y/n]? 5
[15:46] <zer0her0> Abort.
[15:46] <zer0her0> hahahaha, man i think i need food. :)
[15:47] <phil_phys> can you install ubuntu in a asus eee pc 1101ha using a pendrive??
[15:47] <quiescens> 5 is totally not an answer to a yes/no question
[15:47] <e2xistz> phil_phys: yes
[15:47] <phil_phys> e2xistz: If yes how?
[15:47] <Nach0z> phil_phys: and by "yes" he means "5"
[15:47] <zer0her0> coworker says "Clearly 5 is the right answer" when i started laughing he asked what was going on.
[15:48] <e2xistz> phil_phys: unetbootin
[15:48] <shwaiil> Q: I'm buying a new computer, but I dont want win7, neither pay for the license, so I want to install ubuntu. Is this going to be compatible ? http://pastie.org/private/h7ny7z3p3nsvm4phmcqw3g
[15:48] <shwaiil> tks for looking
[15:48] <tolland> is there is a project for a tool to manage an access point? (in this case the wireless TX/RX is attached to a desktop, so I can apply the QOS shaping rules via netfilter)
[15:48] <phil_phys> e2xists: I downloaded Xubuntu with UNetbootin
[15:48] <Nach0z> shwaiil: no reason it douldn't be. ubuntu supports pretty much everything standard now.
[15:48] <tolland> but it is for a cafe with some people who would need to use the gui
[15:48] <Nach0z> that being said, shwaiil, I WANT YOUR COMPUTER :<
[15:48] <shwaiil> Nach0z: hum ok
[15:49] <Nach0z> shwaiil: keep in mind though, ubuntu doesn't like to run a bunch of Windows games.
[15:49] <shwaiil> Nach0z: it's not mine, just one idea :I it's a sacrifice I'm thinking about doing
[15:49] <e2xistz> phil_phys: use unetbootin to write it to the flash drive, then boot from the flashdrive.
[15:49] <shwaiil> Nach0z: its to work
[15:49] <shwaiil> Nach0z: my last game was delta force : black hawk down..that was 8 years ago ?!
[15:49] <Nach0z> ahhhh. then why the heck do you need a 560Ti?
[15:49] <shwaiil> never played again
[15:49] <phil_phys> e2xistz: I did it but i see a blac screen
[15:49] <shwaiil> Nach0z: II work in multimedia, I do programming, 2d, 3d, audio
[15:49] <Nach0z> ah gotcha.
[15:50] <shwaiil> yah :)
[15:50] <Nach0z> programming -> Linux <3
[15:50] <Nach0z> seriously
[15:50] <e2xistz> phil_phys: Sorry, couldn't help you further.
[15:50] <shwaiil> but maybe I'll need win for audio, but I'm not doing audio production I think, at least for a few more months
[15:50] <zer0her0> ok seems to be working, thank you: quiescens, bazhang, & auronandace.
[15:50] <nullucas> hi, I'd like to manipulate audio with enough precision, for example to synchronize beats with other beats or voices, stretch music or voices to make them match a video or a certain rhythm, etc. I don't think I can do this easily with audacity. What software could I use? Thanks
[15:51] <auronandace> !yay | zer0her0
[15:51] <phil_phys> e2xistz: I think there is a problem on incompatibility
[15:51] <zer0her0> :)
[15:51]  * zer0her0 dances ubottu
[15:55] <e2xistz> phil_phys: try turning off quick boot in the bios.
[15:56] <atpa8a> grrr
[15:57] <atpa8a> what's the deal with the freaking resolvconf?.. it's not updating /etc/resolv.conf even tho i added the dns- lines to /etc/network/interfaces
[15:57] <Fyodorovna> phil_phys, you have access to a ubuntu setup already, you probably need to use the nomodeset option, and unetbootin may not let you get to that option easily.
[15:57] <dorgan> ok so i've just installed ufw on most of my other servers, all the same version of ubuntu  yet when i try to install it on one box i am getting "cp: cannot create regular file `/var/lib/ucf/cache/:etc:ufw:before.rules': Invalid argument"
[15:58] <dorgan> any ideas?
[15:58] <bazhang> nullucas, something like ardour and/or rosegarden perhaps?
[15:58] <Fyodorovna> !nomodeset | phil_phys
[15:58] <phil_phys> I don't know nomodeset option
[15:59] <Fyodorovna> phil_phys, you could could just install with the alternative cd a text install.
[15:59] <Fyodorovna> on a usb
[16:00] <kury> anyone know where the "sem" command is hidden within the ubuntu packages?
[16:00] <bazhang> kury to do what
[16:00] <Xabster-lap> How do I change what DNS-server to use in ubuntu 11.10?
[16:00] <phil_phys> How can you install alternative cd ubuntu 11.10 i386.iso on a usb?
[16:01] <phil_phys> On a windows system i used UNetbootin
[16:01] <nullucas> bazhang, yeah, it looks like I need something like Ardour... I haven't tried it though. I'll try it, thanks.
[16:01] <Fyodorovna> phil_phys, same use unetbootin, the black scren is a graphic failure probably the alternative does not need it.
[16:02] <kury> bazhang: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ProcessManagement#I_want_to_process_a_bunch_of_files_in_parallel.2C_and_when_one_finishes.2C_I_want_to_start_the_next._And_I_want_to_make_sure_there_are_exactly_5_jobs_running_at_a_time.
[16:02] <zykotick9> phil_phys: if you are on gnu/linux you can just cat the iso to the USB (IF its 11.10, older versions aren't hybrid iso/usb images)
[16:05] <e2xistz> phil_phys: ASUS netbooks has a bios feature to fast or quick boot by bypassing the bios initializations. Disable that and see if it works.
[16:05] <kroonrs> hi.  I'm trying to connect my laptop to my monitor with a DVI cable, but when I boot I get a kernel panic.  VGA cable works ok.
[16:05] <phil_phys> I'm downloading UNetbootin on ubuntu so I can install the iso on a usb
[16:05] <zykotick9> kroonrs: the kernel panic probably isn't related to the DVI cable, just sayin'
[16:06] <kury> bazhang: any idea?
[16:06] <kroonrs> zykotick9: only thing that changed was swapping out the cable
[16:06] <bazhang> kury, sorry no idea
[16:06] <zykotick9> kroonrs: suppose it's possible... i'd still be surprised
[16:07] <zykotick9> kroonrs: unless this is ATI - then all bets are off ;)
[16:07] <kroonrs> zykotick9: how do I know if it's ATI?
[16:07] <Xabster-lap> How do I change what DNS-server to use in ubuntu 11.10?
[16:07] <zykotick9> kroonrs: "lspci | grep -i vga"
[16:07] <zykotick9> kroonrs: oh, but you can't boot...
[16:07] <Fyodorovna> Xabster-lap, I set that in my router personally.
[16:08] <kroonrs> zykotick9: I'm booted now - with VGA
[16:08] <Xabster-lap> Fyodorovna, i can't - it's not my network
[16:08] <kroonrs> it says Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) and nVidia Corporation GF108 [Quadro NVS 4200M] (rev ff)
[16:08] <kroonrs> zykotick9: ^
[16:09] <zykotick9> kroonrs: ahhh you have hybrid intel/nvidia - you need some other software (that i always forget the name of, something with bee in it)
[16:09] <kroonrs> zykotick9: bumblebee - installed
[16:09] <mneptok> kroonrs: a Dell?
[16:09] <kroonrs> mneptok: yes, and a dell monitor
[16:09] <dorgan> anyone?
[16:10] <mneptok> kroonrs: which video chipset is actually in use? the nVidia or the Intel?
[16:10] <zykotick9> kroonrs: sorry i haven't played with bumblebee at all (don't have that hardware), i really can't assist.  good luck.
[16:10] <kroonrs> mneptok: enable optimus is checked in the bios.
[16:10] <mneptok> kroonrs: try the other chipset?
[16:11] <kroonrs> mneptok: ok, will give that a try
[16:12] <theShadow-> ok quick question
[16:12] <theShadow-> where should I install the bootloader?
[16:12] <Fyodorovna> theshadow, you have a mbr set up no gpt?
[16:13] <theShadow-> i don't know what those are
[16:13] <zykotick9> kroonrs: BTW, if you have intel/nvidia hybrid gpus that could explain the kernel panic your seeing.  with a normal video card/driver using vga or dvi wouldn't generally cause kernel issues, with hybrid i can see it.
[16:14] <Fyodorovna> theshadow, can you in the terminal run sudo fdisk -l and then pastebin the info.

[16:14] <Fyodorovna> theshadow, no
[16:14] <theShadow-> but when I rebooted, it booted into OSX
[16:14] <phil_phys> Do I need a particular format for my usb key for installing alternate i386?
[16:15] <Fyodorovna> theshadow, ah OSX a apple it is specific and I can't help.

[16:17] <scisteffan> Hello, I'm trying to extract dictionary files from the Babylon glossary. I use 7-Zip to view the archive Babylon9_setup_dict.exe... none of the files I downloaded contain a *.bgl file...

[16:18] <MonkeyDust> scisteffan  exe is windows, better ask in ##windows (that's double #)
[16:18] <Corey> scisteffan: And don't pasteflood there, either.
[16:19] <Doodie> Corey, where do i check that from?
[16:20] <scisteffan> MonkeyDust: I'm running ubuntu 11, but because the Babylon glossary website only contains .exe files, I have to extract the .exe file which is supposed to contain a .bgl file, which I intend to use in Star Dict. I guess it's an issue related to Babylon rather than ubuntu. Sorry for the pasteflood!
[16:22] <bingomania> ok... i normally am AMAZING with GPARTED but i got an issue this time... i have a system drive in NTFS then I have an extended partition (THAT I CANNOT LOSE) and then I have unallocated space... I need to move the unallocated space in front of the extended (or the extended to the left) but I cant
[16:22] <theShadow-> oh ok
[16:22] <MonkeyDust> scisteffan  neither babylon or .bgl rings a bell to me, sorry
[16:22] <theShadow-> OSX uses a newer boot manager thing
[16:23] <MonkeyDust> !babylon
[16:23] <Fyodorovna> bingomania, can you give the channel a screenshot of gparted in a imagebin?
[16:23] <theShadow-> which breaks compatibility with older technology (EFI)
[16:23] <bingomania> Fyodorovna: i'll try... give me a minute

[16:24] <MonkeyDust> scisteffan  guess not
[16:24] <phil_phys> Which unity should I use to put thr iso on usb with UNetbootin
[16:25] <Fyodorovna> phil_phys, unity is a desktop.
[16:25] <phil_phys> unit like C, D, E on windows
[16:25] <phil_phys> but on linux system??
[16:26] <bingomania> lol gonna take a sec booting gparted from cd again
[16:26] <Fyodorovna> phil_phys, your question is convoluted, are you trying to install from windows?
[16:26] <phil_phys> no I'm on a linux system now
[16:26] <mydogsnameisrudy> think phil_phys is looking for the drive
[16:27] <MonkeyDust> phil_phys  linux does not use C, D, E ...
[16:27] <phil_phys> yes the  drive in italin is Unità
[16:27] <phil_phys> in italian drive is called Unità
[16:27] <phil_phys> I leave it empty ok??
[16:27] <MonkeyDust> phil_phys  in a Terminal, type sudo fdisk -l to see how Linux names drives
[16:28] <bingomania> bleh gparted keeps crashing now wtf...
[16:28] <Fyodorovna> phil_phys, run that fdisk -l command and pastebin the info as well.

[16:29] <mrfunk> Hiii
[16:29] <mrfunk> i need to install this patch, anyone could assist me through the process please? http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/84146
[16:29] <phil_phys> yes sda and sdb
[16:30] <olegb> mrfunk: if you need to ask adding a patch to a source is a bad idea :-)
[16:30] <nmvictor> ikonia: hi
[16:30] <Fyodorovna> phil_phys, you have the other OS's backed up?
[16:32] <mrfunk> olegb: Thank you for your advice, i agree with you, but its been days trying to fix this issue im experiencing and that is my only hope, i wont stop until i make it work, although i do not know how to proceed
[16:32] <nmvictor> ikonia: About the PXE guide at this section: /nfsroot             192.168.2.xxx(rw,no_root_squash,async) , I would like to use a wildcard, would this suffice: /nfsroot             192.168.2.*(rw,no_root_squash,async)
[16:32] <MonkeyDust> mrfunk  such a patch is more something for advanced users, who don't have to ask how to do it
[16:33] <bazhang> mrfunk, for wine? app support and such in #winehq
[16:33] <phil_phys> the download of the iso of alternate is interrupted why??
[16:33] <Gorkyman> hey guys... it keep happening to me that something is messing with the focus or smth... all the apps menus are displayed only for a sec and same thing with dropdowns
[16:33] <bingomania> !imagebin
[16:34] <Gorkyman> same if I do a right click
[16:34] <funnybunny_> looking for help with Zydas WLA-54L usb Wifi card, modules are ON and card is turned on on ifconfig etc. but it doesnt see any networks (rarerly it will catch 1 bacon or sth)
[16:34] <MadsRC> Is there any othrt way to have a windows share show up in the ubuntu filesystem, than using the "File -> Connect to server"? Because connecting that way won't allow me to view the remote harddisk from inside VLC Like whne I need some subtitles that are on that server)
[16:34] <mrfunk> MonkeyDust: i know, although i still need to do it, its my only hope
[16:35] <MonkeyDust> !wifi| funnybunny_ start here
[16:35] <Gorkyman> is it a bug or smth ?
[16:36] <olegb> mrfunk: you could read patch(1) for a start and the get the code you want to patch
[16:36] <zykotick9> MadsRC: you're hitting a limitation on fuse/gvfs/etc.  you can put your SAMBA mounts in fstab and have them mount as properly as smb can on gnu/linux.  (ps because it's samba i can't help further, samba doesn't use regular gnu/linux mount options)
[16:37] <MonkeyDust> mrfunk  better ask in the channel #winehq as the link also has its origin in winehq
[16:37] <bingomania> ok i'm confused....   i just had gparted running no issues just a second ago and now it wont even start
[16:37] <bingomania> it just crashes
[16:38] <nmvictor> Is it possible to boot my remastered Ubuntu across the network using PXE.
[16:38] <mrfunk> olegb: someone is helping me out, thanks anyways MonkeyDust
[16:39] <Fyodorovna> bingomania, just reboot the cd that may get it working.
[16:40] <bingomania> Fyodorovna: did no luck
[16:40] <bingomania> 4 or 5 times now
[16:40] <bingomania> it literally JUST worked seconds ago
[16:40] <bingomania> i've used this image so many times too
[16:41] <fission6> i have a user i ssh as, i want a colleague to be able to ssh as them too - would i just have them generate an ssh and add it to the remote user?
[16:41] <bingomania> shouldnt have listened to my boss...  he told me to try bootit to see if that could do it, but nope i knew it wouldnt
[16:41] <bingomania> now i think that screwed it up somehow
[16:41] <bingomania> cuz before bootit it worked then after bootit it didnt work
[16:42] <Fyodorovna> bingomania, when you move partitions around which it sounds like you need to do the partition numbers can get out of order, just a heads up. YOu would move the who;e partition to get the unallcated in another place.
[16:42] <harshvardhan> hii.. i just installed some updates in my ubntu bt they made it unstable,, how can i restore my system????
[16:42] <mcb_> fission6: Just create a system user for them and they will be able to ssh.
[16:43] <Fyodorovna> harshvardhan, there is no restore.
[16:43] <harshvardhan> umm,, is there any way by which i can remove latest installes packeges???
[16:43] <fission6> mcb_: sorry what? basially i want my colleague to be able to retrieve log files from the system, so i was thinking scp
[16:44] <zykotick9> harshvardhan: apt doesn't support downgrading.  all the config scripts are written in one direction -> to upgrade
[16:44] <Fyodorovna> harshvardhan, you might consider just describing the actual problem.
[16:44] <V_PauAmma_V> Hi: trying to troubleshoot a NFS/NIS problem, and I think I narrowed it down to NIS being misconfigured somehow, but I see nothing obvious in /etc/yp* or /etc/netgroup. http://paste.ubuntu.com/891212/ has the detailed symptoms. Anyone can point me in the right direction?
[16:44] <mcb_> fission6: Just create a reagular user in the system that your colleague need access.
[16:44] <harshvardhan> when i login via "ubuntu classic" the screen flickers,, therefore i have to login in "cassic safe" mode.. :(
[16:45] <Fyodorovna> harshvardhan, have you looked in additional drivers for anything?
[16:45] <fission6> mcb_: how do i make it so they can only scp to a folder with the log files?
[16:45] <fission6> ideally symlinks to the new users home folder
[16:46] <harshvardhan> madeinkobaia, yes i did checked, bt its empty..
[16:46] <mcb_> fission6: There should be a ton of ways to do that, but you can configure the home directory to the user you will create to the folder that they need access.
[16:47] <mustermark_> can anyone help me debug my wubi installation not starting?
[16:47] <mcb_> fission6: $ adduser new_user --home <dir_needed>
[16:48] <mcb_> fission6: Also, make sure that they have at least read permission in the directory.
[16:49] <arlink> how do i delete a folder in the terminal?
[16:50] <Todd> rm -r folder
[16:50] <Todd> rm -rf folder (no confirmation.. not recommended)
[16:50] <shwaiil> Q: any problem on having Ubuntu / win7 running together, not as VM. Wasn't there boot problems because of windows or something ? I need to have win in a new computer :P
[16:51] <MonkeyDust> shwaiil  did you install windows before or after ubuntu?
[16:51] <phil_phys> Is better UNetbootin or usb creator??
[16:51] <Fyodorovna> shwaiil, if you have a standard mbr set up and it is a actual dualboot not a wubi it should be problem free.
[16:51] <MonkeyDust> phil_phys  depends on what you prefer
[16:51] <shwaiil> MonkeyDust: I didnt got the computer yet, but I'll start by installing ubuntu
[16:51] <Fyodorovna> phil_phys, use usb creator.
[16:51] <MonkeyDust> swex__
[16:51] <mcb_> shwaiil: I have it herem, and i have no problems.... I installed windows7 first, because of the duum windows bootloader.
[16:52] <shwaiil> mcb its better to install win first then ?
[16:52] <Fyodorovna> phil_phys, using the creator will alow a easy nomodeset if needed.
[16:52] <Fyodorovna> allow*
[16:52] <mcb_> shwaiil: It is easier, as the windows bootloader dont recognize Linux.
[16:52] <MonkeyDust> shwaiil  install windows first, for it will destroy GRUB if you install it second -- GRUB can be repaired but it's better not to
[16:53] <shwaiil> mcb, MonkeyDust so ubuntu installer will do that for me right ?
[16:53] <Fyodorovna> shwaiil, depends on your skills reloading the mbr if that is what your using is easy. If you have a choice instal lwindows first
[16:53] <MonkeyDust> shwaiil  windows recognizes only three OSs: windows, windows and windows
[16:53] <mcb_> shwaiil: Right about that.
[16:53] <floridsdorf> hi
[16:53] <shwaiil> Fyodorovna: yeah, i'll isntall windows first, if ubuntu does that for me...I'm fine
[16:53] <gfc> topic
[16:54] <Fyodorovna> MonkeyDust, please don't say repairing grub is a big deal kit can be purged reinstalled and do many things easily.
[16:54] <Fyodorovna> it*
[16:54] <phil_phys> After I have my alternate on the usb I can install the pendrive on my eee pc?
[16:54] <Fyodorovna> phil_phys, install with the pendrive right?
[16:55] <phil_phys> Fyodorovna: Yes this kind of netbook have only  usb
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> Fyodorovna  the guy is a beginner
[16:55] <Fyodorovna> phil_phys, I believe that eeepc is solid state as well am I right?
[16:56] <pb97> can i know which is the best downloader in GUI
[16:56] <MonkeyDust> !best| pb97
[16:56] <phil_phys> Fyodorovns: eee pc 1101ha
[16:56] <Fyodorovna> MonkeyDust, then misinforming is not a god thing, it does not help and is counterproductive to learning, or getting help, bad info sucks.
[16:57] <MonkeyDust> Fyodorovna  then don't, please
[16:57] <profxavier> guys, in nano, on the latest Ubuntu, php isn't highlighted correctly, can I adjust the highlighting in nano ?
[16:57] <pb97> i am not taking polls please dont think that
[16:58] <pb97> ubottu : i just want one good downloader
[16:59] <Fyodorovna> pb97, downloader for what?
[16:59] <mcb_> profxavier: I dont use nano, but you should look in /etc/nanorc
[16:59] <pb97> any url Fyodorovna
[17:00] <masen> pb97: have you tried cURL?
[17:00] <Fyodorovna> pb97, that makes no sense the browers do it.
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> pb97  an URL is an address, what exactly do you mean
[17:00] <profxavier> oh, its included already (php)
[17:00] <profxavier> perhaps it isnt what I expected, I guess
[17:01] <pb97> masen: no but i will try
[17:01] <profxavier> thanks mcb_
[17:01] <masen> i use it for everything http/https/ftp
[17:01] <pb97> MonkeyDust: any link like downloading a pdf file
[17:02] <profxavier> can I get someone for 5 mins in PM to discuss file/user permissions please ?
[17:02] <bazhang> !permissions > profxavier
[17:02] <mcb_> profxavier: If it is not highloghting the way you want you can custumize it editing /usr/share/nano/php.nanorc
[17:02] <MonkeyDust> pb97  'any' link makes no sense, you download torrents in a different way than you download pdf files
[17:02] <profxavier> yeah, got it mcb_ thanks again
[17:02] <blendedbychris> after installing ubuntu-desktop how can i login to the gui remotely?
[17:03] <profxavier> bazhang, i had specific questions
[17:03] <masen> MonkeyDust: i download a .torrent exactly the same way i download .pdf
[17:03] <profxavier> which is why I asked for someone's time for 5 mins
[17:03] <bazhang> profxavier, then ask them here
[17:03] <masen> i just open them in different applications
[17:03] <profxavier> in case that wasn't clear
[17:03] <MonkeyDust> masen  yeah, but i mean, the content of the toorent, like a movie or so
[17:03] <bazhang> profxavier, eminently, not the way the channel works though
[17:03] <pb97> MonkeyDust: I dont want downloader for torrent files, I already have a good one
[17:04] <MonkeyDust> pb97  that was just an example
[17:04] <masen> pb97: also have you checked out wget, i believe it's included with ubuntu
[17:05] <nmvictor> how di i verify dhcp3-server is running?
[17:05] <wired_> wget is included, and it's great
[17:05] <profxavier> what permissions should I apply to my /var/www folder for my website ?
[17:06] <Viluin> hi there
[17:06] <bittin> hi
[17:06] <Viluin> I seem to have an issue with my ubuntu installation
[17:06] <pb97> masen:I have tried wget but i want a GUI one
[17:07] <masen> pb97: ohhh, i see. well disregard my suggestions then
[17:07] <Viluin> I installed some upgrades that it notified me about, and it told me to reboot but I decided to postpone the reboot because I was busy. after a while the computer crashed (screen turned black) and I had to do a hard reset. now boot hangs at "checking battery state". :( and I don't even have a laptop
[17:07] <mcb_> nmvictor: $ /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server status or you just $ps aux | grep -i dhcp
[17:07] <thatsashok> need a pdf application
[17:07] <Viluin> where can I get help for this?
[17:07] <thatsashok> inbuilt gets force quit
[17:08] <Fyodorovna> thatsashok, there is a reader stock and the aroread app which is adobe.
[17:08] <Viluin> I can't open a terminal when it hangs, ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't work, my only option is the root terminal in recovery mode but I have no idea what the problem even is
[17:08] <Fyodorovna> acroread* thatsashok
[17:08] <thatsashok> but 64 bit support
[17:09] <thatsashok> foxit and adobe reader are there
[17:09] <thatsashok> but they support only i386
[17:09] <mcb_> thatsashok: You have Okular. Needs some KDE packages, but it is good software for PDFs files.
[17:10] <thatsashok> hmm lemme get that and see
[17:10] <nicofs> Viluin, try "dpkg --configure -a" that might help - but i'm not sure...
[17:10] <mcb_> thatsashok: Well, I like to use it.
[17:11] <nicofs> Viluin, as root
[17:11] <pb97> thatsashok: Document Reader is very good and light on RAM but if u want u can go for Adobe Reader also
[17:11] <nimbiotics> Hello evry1. ever since I installed ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop, my cd/dvd writer behaves weird. It will read cd/dvd ok; but when I try to record an iso file using brasero I have to manually stop the recording process and many of the times the media won't work. Acetone iso doesnt even recognize my laptop having a cd/dvd. Any comments or advice on this issue is most welcome. TIA!
[17:12] <Viluin> hmnm
[17:12] <Viluin> I'll try it
[17:12] <Viluin> I have to reboot into the recovery mode then, lol
[17:12] <Viluin> if it doesn't work I'll post on the forum I guess
[17:13] <newbchessplayer> I just installed Ubuntu server (most recent edition) and had to apt-get gnome shell. What do I need to do to get it to load automatically each login?
[17:13] <nmvictor> mcb_: /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server does not exist, but the ps command works great which bothers me coz I need to restart dhcp3-server.
[17:15] <Fyodorovna> nimbiotics, you might turn off the image and file check plugins it finishes a lot faster.
[17:15] <mcb_> nmvictor: Try: $ /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server I dont recall if Ubuntu changed the default DHCP server as in Debian.
[17:15] <mcb_> nmvictor: I forgot the status in the command Try: $ /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server status
[17:16] <nimbiotics> Fyodorovna: It just never stops, i've waited for more than 12 hours on ocassions

[17:18] <teage> i googied the install
[17:18] <WLU> can you have an X display with twinview (no xinerama) and both monitors rotated differently than each other.
[17:18] <mcb_> nmvictor: Do not know, but you should check what is the name of your DHCP server daemon......

[17:19] <newbchessplayer> argh, could someone please let me know how to get a gui working with ubuntu server?
[17:20] <mcb_> nmvictor: $ls /etc/init.d | grep -i dhcp. It will list all the services with dhcp in the name. It should appers.

[17:24] <mcb_> nmvictor: Ikonia is right. I forgotr about upstart.
[17:24] <ikonia> railsraider: nagios does not install in /usr/local/ from the ubuntu repos
[17:25] <nmvictor> ikonia: mcb_ , same output: Warning: Fake start-stop-daemon called, doing nothing.
[17:25] <nmvictor>  * check syslog for diagnostics.
[17:25] <nmvictor>                                                                                [fail]
[17:25] <Robinux> how do you get the list of daemons running?
[17:25] <railsraider> ikonia you right i comiled it myself
[17:25] <ikonia> nmvictor: what command did you use ?
[17:25] <railsraider> it was working
[17:25] <ikonia> railsraider: ok - so you should be able to support/work out your own software
[17:25] <kyrix> trying to use raven with getsentry. doesnt seem to be sending anything. the docs are a bit conflicting. do you use client = get_client or not? (for example)
[17:25] <nmvictor> ikonia: sudo service is-dhcp-server restart
[17:26] <mcb_> railsraider: You have to configure the NRPE client to accept connection from your Nagios server. See the Allowed_host setting in the NRPE config file.
[17:26] <ikonia> nmvictor: check if that's the right name of the script,
[17:26] <railsraider> fine i'll uninstall and install from the apt-get
[17:26] <Xabster-lap> Am I missing something about the Ubuntu Tweak thingy? What can it do that's so fancy?
[17:27] <nmvictor> ikonia: its the correct name, its under /etc/init.d/,
[17:29] <Fyodorovna> Xabster-lap, it has some shortcuts that are helpful and can also mess your setup if your don't know what your doing.
[17:29] <konr`> Is there a way to launch a very basic version of Xorg with the simplest driver possible
[17:29] <ikonia> nmvictor: /etc/init.d is not the upstart name, it's the legacy init script
[17:29] <nmvictor> ikonia: could their be something wrong with my upstart?
[17:29] <ikonia> nmvictor: doubtful
[17:30] <konr`> (interrogation mark). It's freezing the computer, and I want to know where the problem is. No log is generated :(
[17:31] <Sexy_GirL> heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[17:31] <nmvictor> ikonia: inside /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server , their exists a line : NAME=dhcpd, however running service againsrt dhcpd does not work either
[17:31] <Sexy_GirL> what  is this ??
[17:31] <Xabster-lap> what is the command to minimize all windows?
[17:31] <nmvictor> ikonia: I dont know where to look.
[17:31] <ikonia> nmvictor: that is hte INIT !!!! script
[17:31] <Xabster-lap> in Ubuntu 11.10 classic desktop
[17:31] <ikonia> nmvictor: I've said 2 times - that is the legacy init script

[17:37] <nmvictor_> ikonia: About the PXE network booting, my client on the other side has negotiated the server but is stopping with : No PXE-E53 :No boot filename received.
[17:38] <ikonia> nmvictor_: ok, so it's not offering up a pxe image to boot
[17:38] <nmvictor_> ikonia: ok,so what am hav i not done?
[17:39] <ikonia> set a pxe image filename in the dhcp config
[17:39] <ikonia> ooh
[17:39] <nmvictor_> ikonia: I have kubuntu 11.10 remsatered ISO, i would like the client ot boot that ISO.
[17:39] <ikonia> you don't do that
[17:40] <nmvictor_> ikonia: which is the way?
[17:40] <ikonia> you pxeboot a pxeimage then you write pxe options to boot what you want
[17:41] <ghostconn> dose anyone know of a better music player then banshee,rhythmbox,audacious or gnome player
[17:41] <ghostconn> i hate them all lol I want something like winamp/itunes with cover flwo
[17:42] <sgoodall> ghost: quodlibet
[17:44] <Robinux> how do you get the list of daemons currently running?
[17:44] <mcb_> sgoodall: xmms2. I used xmms a long time ago, and dont know haw it evolved but it exist.
[17:44] <sacarlson> nmvictor_: before you try your remaster might want to try a known iso that is known to work with pxe boot
[17:45] <s1cre> ghostconn: Try Songbird
[17:45] <atpa8a> re
[17:45] <atpa8a> what's happening with resolvconf not updating /etc/resolv.conf?.. i added dns- lines to interfaces
[17:45] <atpa8a> any hints?
[17:45] <ghostconn> sgoodall -      dose quodlibet support mp3 & flac .... also I have over 500+gb of music I had numerous problem wtih rhythmbox and banshee not recognizing over 200Gb
[17:45] <s1cre> ghostconn: Crap imao, but there you'll get your overflow, as addon
[17:45] <ghostconn> songbird is garbage been there lol
[17:46] <atpa8a> ready to purge resolveconf
[17:47] <ghostconn> im going to try songbird again unless someone can come up with a better idea?
[17:47] <funnybunny_> looking for help with Zydas WLA-54L usb Wifi card, modules are ON and card is turned on on ifconfig etc. but it doesnt see any networks (rarerly it will catch 1 bacon or sth)
[17:47] <ghostconn> thanks for the help everyone
[17:47] <s1cre> ghostconn: i have a massive collection too, i use banshee via daap, no problem here..
[17:47] <sacarlson> nmvictor: not sure why your having problems with dhcp?  I did note that the restart name has changed for dhcpd.  I do have ubuntu 10.04 iso booting with pxe boot with no problem.  but I did fail to get 10.04 to work in pxe, so if your based on that?
[17:47] <ghostconn> odd? with banshee and rhythmbox it would not recognize over 200Gb
[17:48] <sacarlson> nmvictor: opps 11.04 works in pxe for me not 10.04
[17:48] <nmvictor> ikonia: I am shocked about the required client RAM according to https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/wiki/PxeBoot, My client with 1GB ram, is it capable of PXE booting?
[17:49] <sacarlson> nmvictor: I'm pxe booting 11.04 with 512meg system
[17:49] <nmvictor> sacarlson: I am trying out 11.10 but would really appreciate your help.
[17:49] <sacarlson> nmvictor: I've also tested 11.10 and that has worked
[17:49] <nmvictor> sacarlson: so my client fails with: No boot filename received. what doe i do from that point?
[17:50] <xubuntu5> yo
[17:50] <bluefrog> nmvictor, is your dhcp also the tftp server?
[17:50] <mcb_> nmvictor: About the dhcp server. You can look for the initialization script at /etc/init/ Shoud be something like dhcp-server.conf
[17:51] <funnybunny_> looking for help with Zydas WLA-54L usb Wifi card, modules are ON and card is turned on on ifconfig etc. but it doesnt see any networks (rarerly it will catch 1 bacon or sth)
[17:52] <maheanuu> I finally managed to get my notebook up and running again after the crash, but I cannot get it to network and could use some help in setting up the Ethernet and WiFi
[17:52] <nmvictor> bluefrog: no, i have tftpd installed for that.
[17:52] <maheanuu> Oh, I am running 10.04 LTS 64 on a Toshiba Laptop
[17:52] <bluefrog> nmvictor, is the dhcp server and the tftp server on the same machine?
[17:52] <ghostconn> it said that the media library directory you have chosen consists of more then 100,000 songs we recommend you visit our site for further recommendations
[17:53] <ghostconn> that's the message i get everytime with banshee and rhythmbox
[17:56] <ghostconn> wtf.... is there no songbird for ubuntu 11.10?    i have realized that they have removed a whole wack of software from the Ubuntu Software Centre    even google earth is not supported anymore
[17:56] <ghostconn> i dont understand lol
[17:57] <quiT> link for good book about Linux ?  know any ?
[17:58] <funnybunny_> looking for help with Zydas WLA-54L usb Wifi card, modules are ON and card is turned on on ifconfig etc. but it doesnt see any networks (rarerly it will catch 1 bacon or sth)
[17:58] <klync> quiT: there are a few .... for what purpose?
[17:58] <klync> quiT: http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/productCd-0764544977.html
[17:59] <atnms> Songbird removed support for Linux long ago, there is a revival project called Nightingale for Linux http://getnightingale.com
[17:59] <quiT> klync,  something for begining
[17:59] <klync> quiT: beginning what?
[17:59] <quiT> klync,  learning linux
[17:59] <klync> quiT: getting started as an end user? for general purpose use?
[17:59] <quiT> lol
[17:59] <quiT> yes
[17:59] <s1cre> ghostconn: gmusicbrowser would be worth a try, but i doubt it. too large for effective database handling
[18:00] <klync> quiT: http://www.google.ca/search?q=linux+for+beginners
[18:00] <nathan_> Can someone help me with drivers? I'm trying to install the latest Catalyst but it keeps telling me it detects a previous version of fglrx. But I removed the old version. :/
[18:01] <quiT> klync,  tnx
[18:01] <moin> bluefrog: what were you saying, i was disconnected
[18:01] <JulinBM> how remove mensage: waiting network...?
[18:02] <nmvictor>  bluefrog Ooh. tftpd and dhcpd are on the same machine
[18:02] <funnybunny_> looking for help with Zydas WLA-54L usb Wifi card, modules are ON and card is turned on on ifconfig etc. but it doesnt see any networks (rarerly it will catch 1 bacon or sth)
[18:02] <nmvictor> mcb_: Are you able to restart dhcpd from your end?
[18:03] <pwasek> what is a good program to manage iventory and to monitor server health?
[18:04] <TheSimkin> nagios for monitoring server health
[18:04] <TheSimkin> i think it does inventory too
[18:04] <ghostconn> im so upset lol I just switched from mint 12 to ubuntu 11:10 thinking I would be in for a world of a fun new OS... however I have had nothing but problems!!!!!! what did the developers do to ubuntu 11:10 it's like stripped down hardcore , weighted down with bogus software and pointless apps.. really bad compatibility. slow boot up, EXTREMELY slow shutdowns..... it's almost worse then windows now........
[18:04] <ohs> what is the use of the following code "cp -R [DownloadDirectory]/mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-g++/ [DownloadDirectory]/mkspecs/qws/linux-DM3730-g++/"
[18:05] <pwasek> TheSimkin does it monitor hard drive life too
[18:05] <pwasek> on dell servers
[18:05] <atpa8a> why would i get multiple 'Starting OpenSSH Server' followed by 'Stopping OpenSSH Server' during boot?..
[18:05] <pwasek> status
[18:05] <klync> TheSimkin: wouldn't call nagios inventory software, but it's the industry standard for monitoring. pwasek look at omdistro.org
[18:05]  * klync never found a good inventorying solution
[18:06] <mcb_> pwasek: You can use ocs-inventory for inventory and Nagios to monitor.
[18:07] <mcb_> nmvictor:  I use /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart. It works fine with me, but my system is 10.10 or Debian, and they dont use upstart.
[18:07] <mneptok> pwasek: http://puppetlabs.com/
[18:08] <mcb_> nmvictor: But i imagine that you can alway copy an fresh script from a system that is running OK...... Not the best of pratices, but it may be a solution.
[18:09] <guntbert> I am unable to find any documentation about the various menu options in ubuntu-minimal-cd
[18:12] <tuxbin> guntbert: what do you mean by menu options?
[18:12] <tuxbin> guntbert: window options like lxde
[18:13] <tuxbin> guntbert: or menu like during the installation phase?
[18:13] <guntbert> tuxbin: when booting from the minimal CD there is a choice of options - from install ...... to rescue - I wanted to know how they differ without having to try them all by myself
[18:14] <tuxbin> guntbert: got it...one sec
[18:14] <maheanuu> I am trying to go on line with a Toshiba Notebook that I just got back up running, I cannot get network to configure from anywhere on the machine
[18:14] <maheanuu> I am running 10.04 LTS 64 Bit
[18:17] <tuxbin> guntbert: i dont know all optionsbut here are some "install" gives you a wizard like install "install from commandline" gives you no giu and just a text driven wizard
[18:18] <tuxbin> guntbert: also because you have "rescue" as an option i assume you are using the "alternative" installation that has nmore options
[18:18] <blendedbychris> how can i enable remote gui login?
[18:19] <tuxbin> blendedbychris: try X over ssh
[18:20] <blendedbychris> tuxbin: so startx in my terminal?
[18:20] <guntbert> tuxbin: I appreciate your efforts :-)  - but I am preparing a lecture involving the minimal CD - and so I was wondering - for instance the "rescue" takes you through a good part of the regular install (including choosing a mirror) until you get the chance to resue anything
[18:20] <blendedbychris> right now i am just using vnc
[18:20] <tuxbin> blendedbychris: no that will start it locally
[18:21] <tuxbin> blendedbychris: i suggest some research to do X over ssh
[18:21] <tuxbin> blendedbychris: sorry i am not more help
[18:21] <blendedbychris> tuxbin: i'm not on linux though too ..
[18:21] <tuxbin> guntbert: good luck...
[18:21] <blendedbychris> i'm on a mac
[18:22] <blendedbychris> is vnc the only way to go?
[18:22] <guntbert> tuxbin: thx :)
[18:22] <tuxbin> blendedbychris: look into vnc?
[18:22] <oCean> guntbert: not exactly what you are looking for, but you could mount the mini.iso (-o loop) to see what actually happens in the various menuoptions
[18:23] <guntbert> blendedbychris: normally you don't need the complete desktop environment and for single programs you start ssh -X .... and then you invoke that program on the remote host (try it with xeyes  for a start)
[18:24] <blendedbychris> guntbert: i see… these guys i'm building this system for just want to be able to use the desktop
[18:24] <guntbert> oCean: good idea - but it seems somewhat strange that it isn't documented anywhere
[18:24] <noone-one> \list
[18:24] <guntbert> blendedbychris: well, try to educate them :-)
[18:25] <parcs`> will i be able to upgrade from 12.04 beta1 to 12.04 once it's released?
[18:25] <oCean> guntbert: agreed
[18:27] <nullucas> hi, I really don't know where to ask this, who to ask... does anybody know any program that allows you to apply changes to audio files that vary with time? I mean, something like applying a property with graphs or curves, like in blender (but on audio, not video)
[18:27] <atpa8a> hmm
[18:27] <bardh> ls
[18:27] <klync> nullucas: been a while since i looked, but there are lots of tools. freebirth
[18:28] <atpa8a> what's the right way to list aliases in /etc/network/interfaces? right now i use auto eth0:0
[18:28] <Guest21616> hi everybody
[18:29] <Guest21616> i need some help

[18:31] <diverdude> Why cant i browse my smartcard i have inserted in my lenovo w520 in ubuntu?
[18:31] <Musaab> anyone here know a way to fix not booting with an external monitor attached (to a laptop)
[18:32] <Guest21616> ok, thanks
[18:32] <klync> Musaab: do you mean the problem is not booting, and you want to fix by attaching? or is the problem that it won't boot while the monitor's attached? Or, does it boot, but not recognize the attached monitor?
[18:32] <nmvictor> I am reaaly stuck on PXE network booting and no-one seems willing to help.
[18:32] <ohs>  on the command line, how do you go one directory up? in another word, what command refers cd.. on linux?
[18:32] <wodim> ohs: "cd .."
[18:32] <darkad> ohs: you sure?
[18:32] <Musaab> klync, won't boot while the monitor is attached
[18:33] <ohs> cd,, on msdos, how about on ubuntu?
[18:33] <nmvictor> Or is UBUNTU incapable of network booting/
[18:33] <ohs> cd..
[18:33] <tuxbin> mussab: really? wont boot with a monitor attached?
[18:33] <Musaab> klync, if i plug in the monitor after booting, no prob...just won't boot with the monitor attached
[18:33] <darkad> nmvictor: what
[18:33] <wodim> ohs: "cd ..", with the space
[18:33] <ohs> thank you
[18:33] <klync> Musaab: possibly something in the bios preventing it? does *anything* come on the screen? does the built-in monitor work at all?
[18:33] <darkad> ohs: ok
[18:33] <ohs> wodim thank you
[18:33] <Musaab> yeah it works, it just hangs
[18:34] <tuxbin> mussab: does your monitorhave a USB connector? for additional ports? that might be messing you up
[18:34] <Musaab> tuxbin, just vga
[18:34] <klync> Musaab: we're going to need a much more precise description of the problem before we can help you.
[18:34] <blendedbychris> how do i get vnc server to run at startup so users can login via vnc?
[18:34] <Musaab> klync, can't reboot now, but i'll come back with the error message
[18:34] <tuxbin> mussab: freaking weird
[18:34] <klync> k
[18:34] <Musaab> klync, tuxbin thanks for the help
