[06:33] <b4sh> djjonex the reason why your sending mail to localhost doesent work if its not your own server the web server will pass on to a mailserver so you will need the IP of the mailserver
[06:33] <daniel> Anonnn, is it possible u think?
[06:33] <kf7nnz> joc: that is correct! very strange! Evolution 2.30.2 on Ubuntu 10.10
[06:33] <evilvish> !debian | linusasus6
[06:34] <daniel> Xbios, how would i get there?
[06:34] <Xbios> daniel: is your computer built? bought?
[06:34] <Anonnn> daniel: yeah
[06:34] <Anonnn> what are u trying to overclock?
[06:34] <joc> kf7nnz: You're not in offline line mode any any chance?
[06:35] <daniel> Xbios, Its a stock vostro 1000 running ubuntu 10.10
[06:36] <daniel> Xbios, desktop edition
[06:36] <ubuntuliveuser> How can I find out why I cannot re-install Grub2 and boot to Linux?
[06:36] <linusasus6> so useless infos I just need an help channel please for restore my ubuntu in the grub of debian
[06:36] <kf7nnz> joc: no, I did have that issue once - my network connection dropped after a RDP session hung. But even after I rebooted and the network was back, my mail still didn't send until I manually pressed send/receive
[06:36] <Xbios> It looks like dell disables those options in bios. Looks like you will need to find a software alternative unfortunately, that I can't help you with off the top of my head :/
[06:36] <evilvish> linusasus6: as mentioned earlier, try the earlier links already given to you or ask debian folks . not here
[06:37] <Xbios> but for future reference i believe you hold the del key as your booting (during POST)
[06:37]  * vzever register
[06:37] <b4sh> kf7nnz thats because you where to impatient to wait for your mail server
[06:37] <linusasus6> ok will look on their website goodnite everyone
[06:38] <daniel> Xbios, ok so reboot and hold del?
[06:38] <kf7nnz> b4sh: Ah, I see. How many days should I wait? 8-)
[06:38] <Vitasoy> Does anyone know how I can get this green email icon back on my gnome panel? http://goo.gl/n89pt
[06:38] <Xbios> yes, but like i said, Dell has disabled those features in your BIOS
[06:38] <Hariesh> my laptop Lenovo g460's  touch pad's right / left buttons are not working in ubuntu 10.10 32 bit. could anyone help me.??
[06:38] <_skpl> Vitasoy: its only green when you have mail in your inbox
[06:39] <b4sh> kf7nnzobviously some sircumstances account
[06:39] <ubuntuliveuser> I use a Dell for Ubuntu as a second OS.
[06:39] <rusty149> Vitasoy: It is a part of indicator applet not notification area
[06:39] <evilvish> Vitasoy: icon will turn green when you receive new messages/mail
[06:39] <ubuntuliveuser> Just cannot get Grub2 to erstore.
[06:39] <Xbios> you will not be able to change your frequency, multiplier, voltages, steppings, etc.
[06:39] <ubuntuliveuser> restore
[06:39] <Vitasoy> rusty149: _skpl: I don't have the icon at all / green or white/
[06:39] <rusty149> Vitasoy: Yes add the indicator applet to the pane;
[06:39] <evilvish> Vitasoy: then add the "indicator-applet"
[06:40] <joc> kf7nnz: My best guess would be to check your mail server's error log :-/. Maybe recreate the account. No idea.
[06:40] <Xbios> daniel: www.eocf.com <--- Check this forum out, I've been there for almost 7 years, maybe you can get better answers there
[06:40] <Vitasoy> rusty149: evilvish thanks
[06:40] <daniel> Xbios, im reading reviews on my comp and there saying the cooling system isnt very good and not worth it cause its a laptop
[06:40] <kf7nnz> I think I will try getting the latest version - it seems to be 2.32.1 so I am at least a couple back. Thanks all for trying! ;-)
[06:40] <b4sh> kf7nnz again depends where your mail comes from
[06:41] <b4sh> why do people think everything is so black and white
[06:41] <ubuntuliveuser> What would stop Grub2 from being restored?
[06:41] <Xbios> daniel: I would agree. I wouldn't OC a laptop/netbook either. Your gains would be incredibly minimal IMO.
[06:42] <Hariesh> my touch pad's right / left buttons are not working in ubuntu 10.10 32 bit. could anyone help me.??
[06:42] <b4sh> ipad > apple support
[06:43] <daniel> Xbios, hmm ok i prolly wont mess with it then i was jsut reading reviews and the amd 64 athion x2 i read was pretty good for the price of the latop and thought mabey i could more out of it
[06:44] <elnetotaca> so
[06:45] <elnetotaca> wtf?
[06:45] <djjonex> how i configure postfix
[06:45] <KirkMcDonald> elnetotaca: An eloquent question.
[06:45] <ubuntuliveuser> Does anyone know about Grub?
[06:45] <elnetotaca> indeed
[06:45] <daniel> Xbios, but u know what i should next to get the most out of ubuntu?
[06:45] <Nisstyre> djjonex, sudo nano /etc/postfix/postfix.conf ? I don't know the exact filenames
[06:46]  * joc is looking for a new drum and base podcast...
[06:46] <Nisstyre> probably something similar
[06:46] <Xbios> daniel : I couldn't really tell you. I'm new to ubuntu myself. Just made the switch a week ago and it's refreshing
[06:46] <djjonex> Nisstyre thanks bro
[06:46] <elnetotaca> @daniel; go back to windos, linux sucks
[06:46] <Nisstyre> djjonex, keep in mind that was rather tongue in cheek
[06:46] <Nisstyre> you're going to need to read the documentation
[06:46] <ubuntuliveuser> Linux rules over Windows.
[06:47] <Xbios> IMO it's a much better OS for mobile computers, I couldn't be happier
[06:47] <joc> haha, windows.
[06:47] <elnetotaca> equally sucks
[06:47] <Nisstyre> postfix is harder to configure than most programs
[06:47] <amin_> is there any program I could use to run ssh command and then close it but the command goes through
[06:47] <daniel> elnetotaco, why do u say that?
[06:47] <elnetotaca> to get it to work like you want it takes for ever
[06:47] <elnetotaca> and when it does works like you want it, is time to update
[06:47] <elnetotaca> or upgrade
[06:47] <Xbios> I just use this notebook for some embedded software design and browsing the net. Such a lightweight os is incredible.
[06:47] <daniel> its a learning experience
[06:48] <elnetotaca> then the upgrade will fuck shit up
[06:48] <elnetotaca> and go re-install it again
[06:48] <rww> !ot
[06:48] <amin_> hi
[06:48] <daniel> i have no complaints jsut some windows software i miss
[06:48] <elnetotaca> thats the vicious cicle of linux
[06:48] <amin_> i nedd help with ssh
[06:48] <amin_> anyone help
[06:48] <Chiko> can anyone recommend a good c/c++/mysql/ubuntu channel?
[06:49] <Xbios> Chico
[06:49] <Xbios> chiko
[06:49] <Xbios> if you find one...let me know haha
[06:49] <Chiko> haha great :P
[06:49] <djjonex> Nisstyre LOL
[06:49] <elnetotaca> see what I mean
[06:50] <Nisstyre> djjonex, well you asked a question that's impossible to really answer in one line
[06:50] <joc> daniel: There's always virtualbox.org for dealing with windows programs in linux. :)
[06:50] <Xbios> Goodnight everyone, class in the mooornin
[06:50] <Chiko> such a simple query that works through phpmyadmin and directly through the mysql terminal yet fails miserably when sending from c
[06:50] <Chiko> see ya
[06:50] <daniel> joc, i use wine but cant get phonemypc to work
[06:50] <ubuntuliveuser> VBox is good but I prefer vmware.

[06:51] <Xbios> rawr :(
[06:51] <Xbios> not the same at all

[06:51] <Xbios> hurrr
[06:51] <Xbios> ty

[06:53] <ubuntuliveuser> Intel or PoerPC Mac OS?
[06:53] <seidos> amin_: i need a program that saves the ssh process when i close it
[06:53] <ubuntuliveuser> I use a G4 here that never sleeps.  lol
[06:53] <ubuntuliveuser> Must be intel because not available on the PowerPC

[07:01] <Anonnn> i have been looking all over and asked everyone i can think of, how do i set up so that my internet browing is completely anonymous.  browser-based proxies do not work for what i want. If you can help, even just point me in the right direction, id greatly appreciate it. just send me a pm, so we dont flood :D
[07:02] <Guest38713> Anonnn, it is not possible to completely anon your connection
[07:03] <Guest38713> i would have you start with tor proxy
[07:03] <Guest38713> and then get a laptop
[07:03] <Guest38713> and go to an internet cafe
[07:03] <Nisstyre> no
[07:03] <Anonnn> i have a laptop :'d
[07:03] <Guest38713> and use their internet instead
[07:03] <Anonnn> thats what im on
[07:03] <Nisstyre> Get an anonymous VPN, use Tinhat Linux, and use ip2 + an ssh tunnel
[07:03] <Nisstyre> and encrypt your hard drive ( must be ssd) with truecrypt
[07:03] <Anonnn> no, it gets traced to them, they look at router, wow im on the network, now they find me, no. wont work.
[07:04] <Nisstyre> that will almost protect you

[07:32] <ubuntuliveuser> I am trying to restore Grub and get back into Linux but it ALWAYS fails.
[07:33] <Lapios> anyone in here use ubuntu on a netbook?
[07:33] <skrite> close, Lapios i have before
[07:34] <skrite> Lapios, had ubuntu UNR on an Acre Aspire One D250. Basic netbook
[07:34] <Lapios> skrite. why did you remove it?
[07:36] <skrite> Lapios, i put something on that was lighter on resources.
[07:36] <skrite> UNR is great, has lots of nice features, easy to use and set up, but damn heavy and slow
[07:37] <skrite> Lapios, I ran Lubuntu on it, and then settled in on crunchbang.
[07:37] <skrite> very light
[07:37] <skrite> much faster
[07:38] <Lapios> how does it do with your hardware?
[07:38] <ubuntuliveuser> There is a netbook Linux distro (I believe based on Ubuntu) called EasyPeasy.
[07:39] <Lapios> looking at crunchbang and easypeasy now
[07:39] <h4344> anyone know why when i try to compile a file with gcc it says no such file or directory? (yes im a dam noob)
[07:40] <ubuntuliveuser> Could be a problem with the paths h4344
[07:41] <coolwind> help notice
[07:41] <Taffy> h4344 look 4 path you want to compile to if using ide compilier
[07:42] <ubuntuliveuser> Anyone here know anything about the Grub2 Boot?
[07:42] <skrite> Lapios, sorry, got distracted. crunchbang found everything and it all works,
[07:42] <Taffy> h4344 u usually have to set a path
[07:42] <h4344> how do  set the path?
[07:42] <h4344> i*
[07:42] <there-he-is> :xfer
[07:42] <skrite> Lapios, wireless, camera, sound, display, everything worked right out of the box
[07:43] <Taffy> h4344 depends on ide
[07:48] <Abinadai> can someone tell me how to make the numlock the default when booting in Maverick?
[07:48] <ubuntuliveuser> I believe that is done in the BIOS
[07:48] <White-Horse> does ubuntu 64-Bit 10.04.1 LTS support 32-bit apps like XChat, Pidgin, Wine etc... and will flash and java work just the same as the 32-Bit Version ?
[07:48] <sandGorgon> anybody else have a core i7 laptop and working suspend/hibernate ?
[07:49] <Abinadai> I don't think so ubuntuliveuser.  It's on by default in my windows box (on the same machine)
[07:50] <its-me-again> hi all how can i find the ip address of the computer
[07:50] <Abinadai> maybe that is something that windows7 just does?  a feature?
[07:50] <ubuntuliveuser> Okay.  But I do remember it being an option in the BIOS on all my machines.
[07:50] <White-Horse> its-me-again just goto http://www.whatismyip.com
[07:50] <YankDownUnder> its-me-again, Open a terminal, type ifconfig
[07:50] <_skpl> what do you do when you forget your bios passwd?
[07:51] <ubuntuliveuser> There is usually a jumper on the motherboard to reset the bios password
[07:51] <Abinadai> well damn, Im so new that I'm green and I was going to answer that one.  everyone is quicker than me
[07:51] <cdbs> !anyone | sandGorgon
[07:51] <YankDownUnder> _skpl, Unplug the computer, remove the BIOS battery or reset the BIOS via the jumpers on the motherboard.
[07:51] <White-Horse> just move the little jummper pin from pin 1 and 2 to pin 2 and 3
[07:51] <its-me-again> thanks all its for this tutoral i am following http://senk9.wordpress.com/2010/09/26/how-to-stream-media-onto-your-android-device-easily-from-anywhere/
[07:52] <ubuntuliveuser> Who knows how to restore Grub2 when it nothing ever works?
[07:52] <ubuntuliveuser> Noone on any channel can answer.
[07:52] <Abinadai> and if you have a laptop, you're screwed unless you want to dismantle the whole machine
[07:52] <KirkMcDonald> For that matter, I wonder if there's an Android DLNA client.
[07:52] <White-Horse> does ubuntu 64-Bit 10.04.1 LTS support 32-bit apps like XChat, Pidgin, Wine etc... and will flash and java work just the same as the 32-Bit Version ?
[07:53] <its-me-again> tanakorn: ok now out of that long list what is the ip address
[07:53] <YankDownUnder> ubuntuliveuser, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[07:53] <White-Horse> its-me-again just goto http://www.whatismyip.com
[07:53] <ubuntuliveuser> NOTHING works and I am tired of getting that web address no offense.
[07:54] <White-Horse> it only gives you your ip
[07:54] <YankDownUnder> its-me-again, IN a terminal, type: ifconfig
[07:54] <its-me-again> is this the ip address line inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>
[07:54] <ubuntuliveuser> YankDownUnder, I cannot figure out why Grub refuses to restore.
[07:55] <YankDownUnder> ubuntuliveuser, Have you read the page I pasted?
[07:55] <ubuntuliveuser> Too many times.
[07:55] <ubuntuliveuser> As well as too many other Grub websites.
[07:55] <ubuntuliveuser> Absolutely everything ends the same: FAIL!
[07:55] <White-Horse> ubuntuliveuser 99.99% of the time if your grub2 is messed up you will have to do a clean reinstall
[07:56] <mullenuh_> its-me-again: yes, your _internal_ IP. Probably you're using NAT. That's broken by default.
[07:56] <YankDownUnder> ubuntuliveuser, http://maketecheasier.com/restore-grub-2-as-the-main-bootloader/2010/05/05 => try that one.
[07:56] <llutz> White-Horse: nonsense
[07:56] <ubuntuliveuser> Any way to do upgrade and save all the files/programs already installed?
[07:56] <nit-wit> ubuntuliveuser, download a supergrub ISO boot it into the ubuntu and reload the mbr from there.
[07:57] <Abinadai> is there some tweak that I don't know about in Maverick that will speed up the loading of web pages?  I have a 10mb cable service and it is smokin fast on my windows 7  installation (it's on the same machine)
[07:57] <ubuntuliveuser> Been there too and that does work YankDownUnder
[07:57] <White-Horse> ubuntuliveuser yes just run update and check mark the box for new releases
[07:57] <swiss-chris> What does it mean if after the BIOS screen I get "resume libgcrypt version 1.4.4" for around 15-20 seconds? Is there any way to get rid of that?
[07:57] <White-Horse> ubuntuliveuser but 10.10 is beta not stable
[07:57] <nit-wit> White-Horse, only a full purge and reinstall of gru and grub2 from a live cd at the most
[07:57] <swiss-chris> p.s. I'm on Lucid after upgrade from Karmic
[07:57] <YankDownUnder> Abinadai, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/performance-tuning-with-system-control-sysctl-in-ubuntu.html
[07:57] <ubuntuliveuser> I am running 10.04 Ubuntu
[07:57] <Guest61447> hi, im messed up after upgrade with nvidia, if im trying to insmod current build it says no such device -1, help
[07:58] <Abinadai> thanks Yank!
[07:58] <ubuntuliveuser> Well, an Upuntu with a different theme but based on Ubuntu 10.094
[07:58] <YankDownUnder> Abinadai, Coolbeans.
[07:58] <ubuntuliveuser> 10.04
[07:58] <llutz> White-Horse: please stop talking undifferentiated nonsense
[07:58] <bc81> Abinadai: you want to enable num lock @ boot?
[07:58] <rr0hit> My USB drive suddenly went non-bootable...how can i fix it?
[07:59] <Abinadai> yes!
[07:59] <nit-wit> ubuntuliveuser, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[07:59] <White-Horse> llutz what are you talking about ?
[07:59] <linuxson> Having problems with booting up and logging into user  accounts via iTalc. Wakeonlan has been enabled in all  networked pcs, and can boot them up using etherwake. Any help?
[08:00] <White-Horse> llutz I have been using ubuntu since 8.04 I think i know just alittle thank you
[08:00] <Abinadai> bc81:  yes.  that is exactly what I want to do
[08:00] <llutz> White-Horse: me too, and debian since 1.3.1, so what?
[08:00] <YankDownUnder> rr0hit, Run an fsck on that USB - correct the corruptions - should boot again...
[08:00] <ubuntuliveuser> I think I tried that rescutux before and it was too confusing to use so I tossed it.
[08:00] <bc81> Abinadai: sudo apt-get install numlockx, then create a startup application with the command    numlockx on
[08:01] <its-me-again> mullenuh: what is nat
[08:02] <swiss-chris> What does it mean if after the BIOS screen (after shutdown or restart) I get "resume libgcrypt version 1.4.4" for around 15-20 seconds (on 10.04)?
[08:02] <White-Horse> llutz exactly :)
[08:02] <Guest61447> is anyone going to help me
[08:02] <rr0hit> YankDownUnder: isnt that the same thing that Disk Utility repair check and button does? I ran that with no effect. Also pls note i am using dd command to create the bootable disk
[08:02] <llutz> White-Horse: recommending a reinstallation just because messed grub IS nonsense. it can be restored in 99% using live-cd+chroot
[08:03] <YankDownUnder> rr0hit, Best to do it via the terminal mate. Then YOU KNOW it's been forced.
[08:03] <rr0hit> ok
[08:03] <saini> sound problem
[08:04] <saini> i installed ubuntu 10.04 in my HPG42 laptop, but i have no sound
[08:04] <White-Horse> llutz you have no idea how many time grub messed up on e and i have tried so many times to restore it using the live cd and ALLWAYS fails You have to remember that sometimes if not all all of the time uswrs are installing the grub to a windows partition not just pure linux
[08:05] <YankDownUnder> saini, Have you checked to see if it's actually muted or the sound volume is turned all the way down?
[08:05] <rr0hit> YankDownUnder: whats the command? sudo fsck DEVICENAME ?
[08:05] <YankDownUnder> rr0hit, What's the filesystem on that mate?
[08:05] <rr0hit> FAT
[08:05] <ubuntuliveuser> Grub is a complete mess.
[08:05] <saini> yes i have check ,every thing is ok
[08:05] <rr0hit> YankDownUnder: FAT
[08:05] <ubuntuliveuser> How do you get Grub2 to work when everything fails?
[08:06] <ubuntuliveuser> I am ready to take the PC out and shoot ti to bits.
[08:06] <YankDownUnder> fsck.msdos /dev/blahblahblah
[08:06] <White-Horse> but anyways i see that the old timers are not tonight so i think i will return at a later date have a great night/day everyone thanks for all the great support everyone gives here
[08:06] <YankDownUnder> Oldtimers? Hmmm....
[08:07] <nit-wit> ubuntuliveuser, if you can run this script and pastebin it we could probably get to an answer.http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[08:07] <saini> sound problem
[08:08] <nit-wit> ubuntuliveuser, if you do this use the tab complete on my nick so I am notified you posted the pastebin.
[08:08] <YankDownUnder> saini, Check to see if it's muted or if the volume is turned down.
[08:08] <saini> no muted
[08:09] <saini> i think this is sound driver problem
[08:09] <YankDownUnder> saini, System => Preferences => Sound => Hardware
[08:09] <Guest61447> White-Horse: if everyone would, then wouldn't be need in support, you don't make sense
[08:10] <saini> next
[08:10] <Abinadai> bc81,  i got the numlock app installed but what did you mean by 'create a startup application'  be gentle with me I'm really green
[08:10] <ubuntuliveuser> Okay I download it and then what?
[08:10] <ubuntuliveuser> I am in Ubuntu Live CD
[08:11] <nit-wit> ubuntuliveuser, are you talking to me
[08:11] <ubuntuliveuser> Yes
[08:11] <saini> after hardware what we can do
[08:11] <ubuntuliveuser> I downloaded that file.
[08:11] <ubuntuliveuser> How do I use it?
[08:11] <YankDownUnder> saini, Is your hardware showing up?
[08:11] <saini> yes
[08:11] <nit-wit> Ubuntu_1104, read the linked page, drag the script to the desktop and run the command copy and paste it.
[08:11] <saini> then hardware
[08:11] <kke> there's no package for rake without ruby1.8? i'm using 1.9
[08:11] <bc81> Abinadai: ok, go to System >> pReferences >>> Startup Applications, there you will add a startup program.  name it NumLockX (or whatever you like)  in the command box, put:  numlockx on
[08:12] <ubuntuliveuser> My setup is XP on 1TB SATA drive and Ubuntu on 500GB SATA drive.
[08:12] <YankDownUnder> saini, And you've put up the volume and tested it?
[08:12] <Abinadai> Sweet!
[08:12] <ubuntuliveuser> There is no way to run it.
[08:12] <nit-wit> ubuntuliveuser, are you on the live ubuntu cd
[08:13] <ubuntuliveuser> My error
[08:13] <ubuntuliveuser> Yes
[08:13] <fcksltwhr> how can i install .NET Framework on Ubuntu Desktop 10.10?
[08:13] <saini> my hardware  windows shows, internal audio 1output/1 input
[08:13] <nit-wit> ubuntuliveuser, you will have to elaborate on not getting the script to run.
[08:14] <YankDownUnder> saini, Did you try to change the "profile"?
[08:14] <saini> yes , tell me profile
[08:14] <theriel> hi.. does anyone know by chance how to specify cdma or evdo in the network profile manager?
[08:14] <theriel> for mobile broadband
[08:14] <YankDownUnder> saini, Um....just try any of the profiles - when you change one, test the sound again.
[08:15] <ubuntuliveuser> nit-wit, http://pastebin.com/pKKU9gFB
[08:15] <mrdk> fcksltwhr: you are retarded
[08:15] <mrdk> fcksltwhr: but ubuntu sucks
[08:15] <YankDownUnder> Whatever.
[08:15] <saini> ok i select analog stereo duplex
[08:15] <ubuntuliveuser> Ubuntu is the best of all the Linux distros.
[08:16] <mrdk> ubuntuliveuser: suck my dick
[08:16] <YankDownUnder> bazhang, Thanks.
[08:16] <ubuntuliveuser> Sorry you need to find a woman for that detail.
[08:16] <ubuntuliveuser> Windows is what sucks.
[08:16] <fcksltwhr> ubuntuliveuser: yes suck mrdk's dick
[08:16] <ubuntuliveuser> No thanks.
[08:17] <nit-wit> ubuntuliveuser, you have grub in this line Boot files/dirs:   /boot.ini /ntldr /NTDETECT.COM /boot/grub/core.img
[08:17] <nit-wit> ubuntuliveuser, that is the XP C
[08:18] <ubuntuliveuser> Why does the boot never show up and all it does is go directly to WinStupid XP?
[08:18] <YankDownUnder> ubuntuliveuser, Appears as though the bootloader is toasted.
[08:18] <brez> unbutuliveuser: is grub commented out?
[08:18] <ubuntuliveuser> toasted?
[08:19] <ubuntuliveuser> I don't know brez
[08:19] <YankDownUnder> ubuntuliveuser, I'd check/double check/triple check your grub settings for booting....
[08:19] <nit-wit> ubuntuliveuser, theoretically it should be doing the opposite, if the sdb drive is being read first have you checked
[08:19] <ubuntuliveuser> How do I do that?
[08:19] <saini> i have select all profile but no sound
[08:19] <ubuntuliveuser> I don't know how to check
[08:20] <nit-wit> ubuntuliveuser, if you don't tab finish itis hard to tell who your answering
[08:20] <bazhang> saini, where have you checked that it is unmuted: please be specific
[08:20] <Taffy> ubuntuliveuser i think u can hold shift during boot see if u get grub if im wrong tell me anyone?
[08:20] <YankDownUnder> saini, You might want to try: System => Administration => Hardware Drivers [08:21] <saini> every noption is unmuted
[08:21] <bazhang> saini, where
[08:21] <saini> hardware show
[08:21] <bazhang> saini, please be clear, that is not specific
[08:21] <YankDownUnder> ....he's looking in the Sound Preferences
[08:22] <ubuntuliveuser> I am waiting on a new HD.  I might just totally format and redo XP and Linux again when I get it.  This is too bloody annoying.
[08:23] <saini> hardware  internal audio 1 output/ 1 input
[08:23] <bazhang> saini, and in alsamixer ?
[08:23] <YankDownUnder> saini, Yeah mate - we've already been there....
[08:23] <ubuntuliveuser> I will try something.  brb
[08:23] <Abinadai> ok, I forget who pointed me in the direction of http://www.ubuntugeek.com/performance-tuning-with-system-control-sysctl-in-ubuntu.html but that looks real spooky for someone as green as me.  Is there any other way to tweak the performance of my internet connection?
[08:24] <saini> profile  is analog stereo duplex
[08:24] <YankDownUnder> Abinadai, It's actually quite simple, however, you could try tweaking Firefox....
[08:24] <bazhang> saini, that was not my question: check alsamixer; in terminal type alsamixer
[08:24] <YankDownUnder> Abinadai, http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_1.html
[08:24] <saini> please friend solve my problem i am trying from last  one month
[08:25] <YankDownUnder> saini, We're trying to help.
[08:25] <Abinadai> YankDownUnder, I'll try that first thanks
[08:25] <saini> after hardware what i can
[08:25] <bazhang> saini, I just told you
[08:26] <YankDownUnder> saini, Open terminal, type: alsamixer
[08:26] <heslam> hey guys. i'm using an old thinkpad with an intel integrated graphics chip. how can i work out what drivers it's using for that?
[08:27] <YankDownUnder> heslam, It's going to definitely be an Intel driver....
[08:27] <bazhang> heslam, tell us the chipset
[08:27] <brez> lol
[08:27] <saini> where is alsamixer
[08:27] <bazhang> saini, open a terminal
[08:27] <heslam> bazhang: how would i discover that?
[08:27] <YankDownUnder> saini, Open a terminal.
[08:27] <bazhang> heslam, lspci in terminal
[08:27] <stanman246> alt-f2
[08:28] <YankDownUnder> heslam, lspci | grep VGA
[08:28] <stanman246> gnome-termingal
[08:28] <stanman246> -g
[08:28] <saini> yes  i have open terminal and then type alsmixer
[08:28] <Abinadai> YankDownUnder, I'm reading the site that you pointed me to, but it appears they are talking about tweaking windows versions of FF.  Am I lucid after being at the computer for 18 hrs?
[08:28] <bazhang> saini, then use the arrow keys and unmute all
[08:29] <YankDownUnder> Abinadai, Keep reading - it gets directly into tweaking the browser via the "about:config" URL.
[08:29] <Abinadai> YankDownUnder, ok
[08:29] <heslam> bazhang & YankDownUnder: thanks! i get "intel corporation 82852/855GM integrated graphics device"
[08:30] <YankDownUnder> heslam, Same as on my Compaq C700...
[08:30] <saini> it show alsamixer v1.0.22 screen

[08:32] <ylmfos> My apology FloodBot3
[08:32] <Simply> Hello!
[08:32] <franz> hey ubutto
[08:32] <bazhang> ylmfos, is this using ylmfos ?
[08:32] <ylmfos> How do I add the Linux boot for drive 2?
[08:32] <heslam> YankDownUnder: is your compaq ancient too? :P this is my grandma's old laptop
[08:32] <saini> hiiiiiiiiii
[08:32] <ylmfos> It is based on Ubuntu
[08:32] <bazhang> ylmfos, its not supported here
[08:33] <gpc> !ylmfos
[08:33] <ylmfos> I am trying to get Linux back (restore grub2)
[08:33] <YankDownUnder> heslam, Well, it's old...but blazes with 3gb of RAM and a 500gb sata
[08:33] <zoraj> I've just got a 2TB, I am wondering if I will have to partitioned it or just stick with the whole space for storing my files
[08:33] <ylmfos> It is Ubuntu though.
[08:33] <Simply> e..
[08:33] <nit-wit> franz,wubi is a install in a file inside of windows a cd is a cd
[08:33] <bazhang> ylmfos, not supported here. try their forums
[08:33] <zoraj> is there any performance issue if I wont partitioned it ?
[08:33] <YANAwiro> HI MY FRIENDS
[08:33] <KirkMcDonald> zoraj: Not really, no.
[08:33] <saini> after alsamixer v1.0.22
[08:33] <ylmfos> Whatever.
[08:34] <bazhang> saini, use the arrow keys, unmute everything
[08:34] <heslam> YankDownUnder: i've got 512 megs here :P blazes with LXDE though :) thanks for the help re: the command etc.
[08:34] <saini> which option
[08:34] <ylmfos> ylmfos is Ubuntu 10.04 with an XP Luna theme.
[08:34] <YankDownUnder> saini, User the ARROW KEYS to push the volume on any of the meters.
[08:34] <zoraj> KirkMcDonald: : what fs would be good for it ?
[08:34] <gpc> ylmfos: it is not supported here.
[08:34] <bazhang> ylmfos, please stop. its not supported here
[08:36] <saini> it show s card , chip,view,item
[08:36] <Asif> hi . I am looking to burn an ISO to CD is brasero relliable enough or shoud I get K3B
[08:36] <YankDownUnder> Brasero is fine and dandy
[08:36] <Abinadai> ok, I've been holding my laptop in my lap for about 4 hours tonight and it's zero degrees out so I'm all comfy.
[08:37] <YankDownUnder> saini, Are you actually "listening" to what you're being told, or just out in space?
[08:37] <KirkMcDonald> zoraj: I'd just use ext4.
[08:37] <daniel_> anyone know the best vnc client for ubuntu?
[08:37]  * YankDownUnder checks the temperature in Sydney
[08:37] <Asif> but for some unknown reasons brasero does not allow me to reduce burning speed
[08:37] <Abinadai> I used brasero this afternoon and it worked just marvy...it actualy worked better than some windows burners did.
[08:37] <saini> i have open terminal and type alsamixer
[08:38] <YankDownUnder> saini, Right. Then USE THE ARROW KEYS to adjust the LEVELS. Then test the sound.
[08:38] <saini> after that it's shows  alsamixer v1.0.22 screen
[08:38] <bc81> daniel_: i have had good results with vinagre..but also good to run tightvnc through wine if you need compression
[08:39] <zoraj> KirkMcDonald: thx
[08:39] <YankDownUnder> TightVNC works natively in linux.
[08:39] <franz> ubutto
[08:39] <root_> 564871 my paste, help, X wont start
[08:39] <bc81> YankDownUnder: yes, but not with all the bells and whistles as the win32 client in my experience
[08:39] <franz> what are the difference between a wubi and a cd?
[08:39] <YankDownUnder> root_, It's extremely bad to login as ROOT - either on your system or online.
[08:39] <saini> there is no any mount option
[08:39] <root_> YankDownUnder: no choise
[08:40] <YankDownUnder> I prefer Teamviewer for my clients.
[08:40] <Abinadai> ok, I just drank a 1 litre bottle of coke...so why are my hands shaking.  yeesh.
[08:40] <root_> YankDownUnder: im in recovery mode
[08:40] <bazhang> Abinadai, please take the chit chat elsewhere
[08:40] <bedahr> Hi everybody. I am trying to set up Ubuntu on a Zotac MAG and have problems getting video / sound working over HDMI to the LG television. Using the binary nvidia driver (nouveau is no option, sadly) I can get _either_ audio or video running but not both at the same time :/
[08:41] <bc81> !offtopic
[08:41] <bedahr> (I am using Ubuntu 10.10 with their current nvidia driver)
[08:41] <bedahr> to get video to work I have to disable Edid parsing (UseEdid=false) otherwise I get a picture for about a second and then the tv goes into "No signal" mode
[08:41] <Asif> is there any way I can get root terminal in ubuntu instead of using sudo all the time
[08:41] <saini> no sound
[08:42] <bazhang> Asif, sudo -i
[08:42] <brez> Asif - "sudo su"
[08:42] <Abinadai> Teamviewer rocks.  I use it to manage my two college daughters machines
[08:42] <bazhang> brez, not correct
[08:42] <bedahr> however, alsa won't work without eld infos which I understand are part of the edid info I have to disable to get graphical output... Any ideas / workarounds?
[08:43] <brez> not entirely.
[08:43] <ylmfos> I like to use Teamviewer on all my machines.
[08:43] <bazhang> brez, we never recommend that here
[08:43] <brez> I'm sorry, I did not know..........
[08:44] <Asif> what is difference between apt-get "remove" and apt-get "autoremove"
[08:44] <root_> the problem is i can't remove nouveau which didn't work, it says  module in use, and can't insmod nvidia, says not such device -1
[08:44] <YankDownUnder> "apt-get remove" will remove specified packages. "autoremove" will automagically remove packages that are no longer needed.
[08:44] <linuxson> Having problems with booting up and logging into user  accounts via iTalc. Wakeonlan has been enabled in all  networked pcs, and can boot them up using etherwake. Any help?
[08:44] <bc81> Asif: remove <package> removes a specific package, autoremove will remove orphans
[08:45] <YankDownUnder> root_, rmmod the driver mate.
[08:45] <root_> YankDownUnder: i did says module in use
[08:45] <Asif> is it safe to use autoremove all the time
[08:45] <bc81> Asif, sure
[08:45] <Abinadai> and who said irc chat is overrated.  I learn new things in here every ten minutes.  Thanks people!
[08:46] <YankDownUnder> root_, rmmod -f
[08:46] <its-me-again> i i am trying to set up file sharing using this http://senk9.wordpress.com/2010/09/26/how-to-stream-media-onto-your-android-device-easily-from-anywhere/  the 2 ip address i get from ifconfig and http://www.whatismyip.com dont work
[08:46] <YankDownUnder> IRC, from it's beginnings, has been a treasure...a hidden treasure.
[08:46] <root_> YankDownUnder: and second error, why -1?
[08:46] <brez> its-me-again: are you file sharing on a local network?
[08:47] <YankDownUnder> root_, rmmod -f => force unload
[08:47] <Asif> I really appriciate people here . who are always willing to help and dont mind answering dumb questions
[08:47] <ylmfos> Would it be possible to add a Linux boot option in the XP boot ini and have it boot to Linux?
[08:47] <its-me-again> brez: yes using the tutorial from ^ i mentioned
[08:47] <brez> its-me-again: ifconfig would show internal / whatismyip.com would show external.
[08:47] <root_> YankDownUnder: ok, i'll try then again insmod nvidia, brb
[08:47] <YankDownUnder> ylmfos, Um...no.
[08:47] <bazhang> ylmfos, please stop asking here, ylmfos is not supported here
[08:47] <its-me-again> brez: if you read what i said ^ both do not work
[08:48] <YankDownUnder> its-me-again, Um...you're not able to find out your IP address?
[08:48] <ylmfos> I was getting help before it was knnown I am running a Linux based off Ubuntu so why can't I get help?
[08:48] <brez> its-me-again: you could be getting the wrong IP from ifconig.
[08:48] <bazhang> ylmfos, its an unsupported derivative.
[08:48] <its-me-again> YankDownUnder: please read what i said ^^^ the 2 i have dont work
[08:49] <YankDownUnder> its-me-again, What device are you using for network connectivity mate? Ethernet or wireless or....?
[08:49] <root> YankDownUnder: it says now resource temporaly unavailable
[08:49] <its-me-again> ylmfos: you can try and find your os irc channel or,  ask in #Linux for general support.
[08:50] <Guest90334> YankDownUnder: and can't insert either
[08:50] <its-me-again> YankDownUnder: wirless cause itsis my android phone to my laptop
[08:50] <Guest90334> YankDownUnder: did you rename me?
[08:50] <YankDownUnder> Guest90334, Rename your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg.conf.bak), reboot?
[08:51] <YankDownUnder> its-me-again, ifconfig wlan0
[08:51] <linuxson> Having problems with booting up and logging into user  accounts via iTalc. Wakeonlan has been enabled in all  networked pcs, and can boot them up using etherwake. Any help?
[08:51] <its-me-again> rootif you are trying to run a terminal command make sure synaptic or anyother app usint that is closed
[08:51] <ylmfos> WTFE
[08:51] <Guest90334> YankDownUnder: it will fail did many time
[08:52] <Guest90334> YankDownUnder: because nouveau replaced nvidia
[08:52] <its-me-again> YankDownUnder: because you missed my origional post here.   hi i am trying to set up file sharing using this http://senk9.wordpress.com/2010/09/26/how-to-stream-media-onto-your-android-device-easily-from-anywhere/  the 2 ip address i get from ifconfig and http://www.whatismyip.com dont work
[08:52] <YankDownUnder> Guest90334, Hmmm....
[08:52] <Guest90334> YankDownUnder: band module install fails, cos of -1 error
[08:53] <YankDownUnder> Guest90334, Since  you're logged in as root, what if you "apt-get remove" the drivers, mate...?
[08:53] <MTecknology> yay! v2.6.38-rc4 is out!
[08:53] <its-me-again> MTecknology: v2 of what
[08:53] <MTecknology> its-me-again: linux kernel
[08:54] <Guest90334> YankDownUnder: remove nouveau? i did it pulls all of the Xserver along
[08:54] <its-me-again> YankDownUnder: i mean not to offend.  i see you are busy helping a few ppl here
[08:54] <Guest90334> YankDownUnder: installing nvidia remove Xserver, installing nouveau removes nvidia
[08:54] <YankDownUnder> Guest90334, Right. After it does all that, then you should be able to "apt-get install" your nvidia driver
[08:55] <Guest90334> YankDownUnder: but if the X is missing what the point in nvidia
[08:55] <brez> its-me-again: he was helping you.. if both IP's aren't working, you're obviously doing something wrong.. so he was obviously covering the steps.
[08:55] <its-me-again> YankDownUnder: is there not an app to autodetc the nvidia drivers hareware devices.
[08:55] <preved_medvedik2> Goodby!
[08:55] <brez> its-me-again: pastebin your ifconfig -a, and someone will tell you the 'correct' one to use.
[08:55] <linuxson> Having problems with booting up and logging into user  accounts via iTalc. Wakeonlan has been enabled in all  networked pcs, and can boot them up using etherwake. Any help?
[08:56] <YankDownUnder> Guest90334, You'll get it re-installed when you do the "apt-get install nvidia-BLAH"
[08:56] <cojocar> I have a VPN connection in my nm-applet (NetworkManager applet); the VPN server, currently is down. When it will be available the nm-applet will try to connect the VPN, without any intervention?
[08:56] <its-me-again> brez: yes i did that the oip address from ifconfig wlan0 is not working
[08:56] <Guest90334> YankDownUnder:  it's a nightmare, ok thanks anyways
[08:57] <brez> its-me-again: can you ping your android devices internal IP (if on WiFi network?)
[08:57] <YankDownUnder> Guest90334, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1559645

[08:58] <brez> its-me-again: ping it from your linux box?
[08:58] <Guest90334> YankDownUnder: i'll check it out i hope after recovery, OK
[08:58] <its-me-again> brez: ok how then
[08:59] <brez> its-me-again: do you know the internal IP? if not.. you can probably get it from your router. Then in a terminal type "ping I.P.Address"
[08:59] <its-me-again> i do not know what the internal android device address is
[09:00] <its-me-again> breOKHOQ CAN I GET IT FROM TEH ROUTER THEN.
[09:00] <brez> its-me-again: grab it from the router
[09:00] <YankDownUnder> its-me-again, Your router should have a listing of every single machine on the network (along with it's IP address)
[09:00] <its-me-again> brez: ok how can i get it from that idk about this
[09:01] <its-me-again> YankDownUnder: ok i will check that

[09:02] <preved_medvedik2> OK
[09:03] <Abinadai> ok, I used ping I.P.Address and it pinged correcly, but my terminal seems hung?  I think there HAS to be a more elegant solution that just closing the terminal.
[09:03] <rebirth> my workspace switcher is not working. i click on a workspace or try ctrl + alt + arrow and i stay on the current workspace
[09:03] <YankDownUnder> CTRL-C

[09:05] <chupacabra> lol
[09:05] <Abinadai> YankDownUnder, this is what I get from the ping...196 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 195079ms.  is something seriously wrong there?
[09:05] <chupacabra> how do i fix ubuntu???????
[09:05] <YankDownUnder> Abinadai, Um...what are you trying to ping?

[09:05] <JenniferB2> Hi folks.. we have ubuntu server on a separate machine.. ssh using a login the specied login and password.. create a user for myself.. added to sudoers and gave a password... su myusername and enter password... all fine.. but my command line starts with a dollar $ and doesn't behave the same as the username I was given.. why not ? how can I fix this ?
[09:06] <species|work> JenniferB2: you dont use su with sudo, they are different
[09:06] <Abinadai> YankDownUnder, I was just trying to find my ip address outside of my router.
[09:06] <robertzaccour> oh well i'll just stick with xfce on that one then lol
[09:06] <chupacabra> JenniferB2: lose sudo
[09:06] <YankDownUnder> Wife home, food time.
[09:06] <robertzaccour> gonna go install thanks yall later
[09:06] <species|work> JenniferB2: to permanantly auth, use "sudo -s" or do to it temporarily, "sudo <original commands> <original params>"
[09:07] <brez> Abinadai: if you're looking for you external IP, just go to http://www.whatismyip.com
[09:07] <Abinadai> brez, thanks.
[09:07] <chupacabra> man traceroute
[09:07] <root_> YankDownUnder: im back again, dpkg-BLAH says xserver-xorg is broke or not fully install
[09:08] <JenniferB2> species|work: what do I do then ?
[09:08] <linuxson> Having problems with booting up and logging into user  accounts via iTalc. Wakeonlan has been enabled in all  networked pcs, and can boot them up using etherwake. Any help?
[09:08] <JenniferB2> chupacabra: lose sudo?
[09:08]  * chupacabra hates sudo
[09:08] <chupacabra> do sudo passwd root
[09:09] <root_> YankDownUnder: i did first remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau and then instsalled nvidia-current, but xserver-xorg is left broken
[09:09] <chupacabra> then make it whatever
[09:09] <Abinadai> brez, that is awesome.  thanks for the tip!
[09:09] <brez> Abinadai: no problems.
[09:09] <chupacabra> then you have root as you should with a su -
[09:09] <sometux> How to auto mount an encrypted folder at log on, I use eCryptfs?
[09:10] <linuxson> Having problems with booting up and logging into user  accounts via iTalc. Wakeonlan has been enabled in all  networked pcs, and can boot them up using etherwake. Any help?
[09:10] <chupacabra> I ain't nobodies sudo.  I am BOFH!!
[09:10] <linuxson> Out of the +- 1400 users on here today, is there no one that can help me with this problem???!
[09:11] <Abinadai> ok, I've learned terabytes in here today.  See you all tomorrow :)
[09:11] <chupacabra> what is Italk and why?
[09:11] <linuxson> If not, can someone then just direct me to a irc channel for iTalc??
[09:11] <chupacabra> linuxson: what is italc?
[09:11] <linuxson> chupacabra: iTalc is a pakage you use in Edubuntu for remote pc tutoring
[09:12] <root_> linuxson: use vnc
[09:12] <chupacabra> im no one knows.  googlt italc and find their website.
[09:12] <chupacabra> im sure no one knows
[09:12] <linuxson> root_: that defeats the whole purpose of remote pc tutoring
[09:13] <chupacabra> very obscure packacge.  check the #ltsp guys
[09:13] <root_> linuxson: how so?
[09:13] <linuxson> root_: iTalc is better, and enables you to do live screen demos to all pcs
[09:13] <chupacabra> linuxson: lots of ways to do that.
[09:14] <chupacabra> It is X
[09:14] <linuxson> root_: check out their wikipage: http://italc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
[09:14] <chupacabra> meant to be anywhere
[09:14] <linuxson> chupacabra: not what I want to know
[09:15] <chupacabra> sounds like yet another solution for which there is no problem
[09:15] <linuxson> chupacabra: listen dude, I need iTalc to work...not going for vnc or any other crap
[09:15] <root_> linuxson: never tried to login to multiple machines
[09:16] <chupacabra> call them
[09:16] <root_> !broken
[09:16] <chupacabra> wtf does #ubuntu have to do with italc developers
[09:16] <bazhang> chupacabra, thats enough
[09:17] <chupacabra> k seemed like he was goofing.
[09:17] <bazhang> chupacabra, keep the chit chat elsewhere
[09:17] <Guest68844> my login password isnt working--the only thing ive done is download "swscanner" from software center and ran it--logged out for a few minutes and when i log back on ubuntu will not accept my password for some reason--can anyone tell me if i can fix this without having to reinstall
[09:18] <brez> f
[09:19] <chupacabra> i suggested a better channel.  Sorry
[09:19] <Tigerboy> Ubuntu is not that bad
[09:19] <UzU> how can i solve "JACK is running in realtime mode, but you are not allowed to use realtime scheduling."?
[09:19] <Tigerboy> have to add your accout to realtime
[09:20] <chupacabra> is realtime in the kernel?
[09:20] <chupacabra> oh that realtime
[09:20] <Tigerboy> best not to run it as realtime
[09:21] <chupacabra> why does my splash screen say Debian?
[09:21] <bazhang> !ot > chupacabra
[09:21] <chupacabra> lemmee look.
[09:21] <UzU> my account is in the "audio" group
[09:22] <UzU> but i got this error when i start jack audio connection kit
[09:22] <UzU> qjackctl
[09:22] <daniel_> hey someone told me about team viewer eirlier adn i wanted to say thank u so much easy to use and set up
[09:23] <chupacabra> that message told me nothing i didn't know
[09:23] <bazhang> chupacabra, then stop with the offtopic.
[09:24] <chupacabra> ok what did I say that was off topic so i know?
[09:25] <learn11> hi guys .. can i get ubuntu's free shell for learn?
[09:25] <root_> somebody help, after removing nouvau and install nvidia X is missing, installing it however will cause removal of nvidia and replacing it with nouveau
[09:25] <chupacabra> The question was off topic.
[09:25] <root_> learn11: what a hell is free shell?
[09:27] <root_> choosing repair broke packge from recovery menu didn't fix missing X
[09:27] <root_> what a hell is going on
[09:27] <S711> window 9
[09:28] <S711> (Sorry)
[09:28] <nibbler_> root_, a missing x is not necesariy missing. maybe its not there on purpose?
[09:29] <root_> nibbler_: on whose purpose?
[09:29] <root_> nibbler_: it's my machine
[09:29] <chupacabra> installer
[09:29] <root_> nibbler_: please no religion
[09:30] <preecher> im on live cd--is there any way to reset my login password on the installed ubuntu from live cd?
[09:30] <Jordan_U> preecher: As long as you weren't using an encrypted home directory, yes.
[09:30] <chupacabra> sure.  not for rookies
[09:30] <root_> preecher: yes, you have to chroot
[09:31] <omkar> hi i am trying to configure apache on ubuntu can any1 help me
[09:31] <jay> #xubuntu
[09:31] <root_> chupacabra: not particulary helpfull
[09:31] <preecher> Jordan_U home directory wasnt encripted
[09:32] <nibbler_> preecher, you dont even need a livecd for that - but a livecd might be the easiest if you are not used to shell stuff
[09:32] <nit-wit> preecher, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[09:32] <preecher> i not know what a shell is
[09:32] <chupacabra> root_: lets see how he does
[09:33] <preecher> i look t that and try it
[09:33] <preecher> thanks everyone
[09:34] <nibbler_> preecher, boot livecd, open terminal, become root, mount your harddisk, chroot to your harddisk and use "passwd insert-your-username-here"
[09:34] <nibbler_> preecher, good luck
[09:35] <preecher> nibbler_ doin it now thks-
[09:36] <nibbler_> preecher, other, possibly faster, way: in grub menu hit "e" to edit the default-line and append "init=/bin/sh" - then boot it. this boots you onto your original system as root in a shell. this saves you the mounting, becoming root and chrooting part - then just "remount -orw / && passwd insert-username-here"
[09:36] <UzU> how can i know if i've got a realtime kernel?
[09:36] <root_> chupacabra: yes, im looking, cause can't do anything else because of stupid nouveau install
[09:36] <UzU> and how can i install it?
[09:36] <nibbler_> UzU, not sure, but i think a device /dev/rtc points to that
[09:37] <bedahr> does anyone know if ubuntu uses in-kernel alsa or are there separate packages for the alsa drivers?
[09:37] <hilarie> Why can't synaptic download and install packages at the same time?
[09:37] <chupacabra> i have ati but it tried neuvoux drivers
[09:38] <root_> chupacabra: how it went?
[09:38] <chupacabra> got that sorted,  but really, my splash says Debian
[09:38] <chupacabra> does everyones? or something silly like that
[09:38] <Jordan_U> hilarie: Because often you don't want any packages to install unless they can all be installed. You can't be sure there won't be a problem downloading other packages in a transaction until they are all downloaded.
[09:38] <root_> chupacabra: splash?
[09:39] <chupacabra> on grub chooser
[09:39] <chupacabra> it started as a beta.
[09:39] <chupacabra> then that neat desttop went away
[09:40] <root_> chupacabra: no i meant how nouvex worked on ati
[09:40] <chupacabra> then i put xfce on for usability
[09:40] <root_> chupacabra: what?
[09:40] <chupacabra> nouvex didn't work
[09:40] <root_> chupacabra: ah
[09:41] <chupacabra> just saying this beta cd i used for install has left some weird gaps in stuff.
[09:42] <chupacabra> gets better with every update
[09:42] <root_> why so silent here
[09:42] <root_> nobody is using nvidia?
[09:43] <chupacabra> i sure liked that new desktop and cant get it back for the life of me.
[09:43] <hilarie> @Jordan_U When I install stuff I normally do batches of things at once, and synaptic doesn't multithread download, so when you are downloading 293 packages, they might not be that large, but it takes forever because it downloads 1, then another, instead of downloading multiple ones.
[09:45] <thrope> hi - i have a fresh ubuntu with nx server free eidtion... when I connect from a mac it seems like the command key is stuck down. Anyone have any idea of anything I can do to fix this? something with setxkbmap or xmodmap or something
[09:49] <mike_miller> Does ubuntu server have a firewall turned on by default? I'm using the EC2 AMI.
[09:49] <joobie> hey guys.. im having to rsync to a tarball, as the destination is a NTFS fs and i want to preserve symlinks.. I was originally planning to sync the diff with rsync every 1 hour.. but now that the dest is a tarball, not sure if this is possible.. anyone know if it is and how?
[09:52] <thrope> joobie: not possible
[09:52] <thrope> joobie: a tar ball is a sequential archive (think a tape) - there is no way to do incremental updates
[09:52] <marco_> Hi everybody..
[09:52] <thrope> unless you hadd the diffs to the end
[09:53] <marco_> is this an italian forum or an international one?
[09:53] <joobie> ahh
[09:53] <llutz>  !it
[09:53] <sagaci> So you have to repack it
[09:53] <joobie> well that sucks
[09:53] <bazhang> marco_, #ubuntu-it for italian
[09:53] <marco_> (this is the first time i use xubuntu and ubuntu!:) )
[09:53] <Ascavasaion> How do I force Xorg to go into a different resolution.  The native Lubuntu (doubt it is lunubtu specific) screen resolution only had 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480,  I know the monitor and card can go higher... but how?
[09:53] <omkar> how to know the version of python i have installed any command like rpm -qa
[09:53] <omkar> for ubuntu
[09:53] <joobie> thrope, got any ideas to get diffs going to a ntfs partition, preserving symlinks, etc
[09:53] <joobie> ?
[09:53] <thrope> joobie: might be better to use  a disk image instead of a tarball
[09:54] <joobie> thrope, why?
[09:54] <thrope> then you mount the disk image (mount -o loop) do rsync, unmount
[09:54] <thrope> because it is impossible to do what you want with a tarball
[09:54] <Spion> what possible situation could require switching between all the automatically installed kernel upgrades?
[09:54] <joobie> ahh
[09:55] <joobie> so i can do diff's to the diskimage right?
[09:55] <Spion> (in grub)
[09:55] <thrope> when it is mounted
[09:55] <joobie> good idea
[09:55] <joobie> how can i create the disk image?
[09:55] <joobie> like i know how to -o loop it
[09:55] <joobie> not sure how to create it
[09:56] <joobie> .. also if i do a diskimage, do i need to define the size of the disk image when creating?
[09:56] <thrope> joobie: not completely sure i must admit - have a google... but I would think something like dd if=/dev/zero of=myimage (some argument to set the size I forget)
[09:56] <llutz> joobie: can't you just use "tar --update " instead of rsync?
[09:56] <joobie> i mean, then iw ould need to create the image as the same maximum usable space what i am backing up right?
[09:57] <thrope> then mkfs myimage with your fs of choice
[09:57] <joobie> llutz, im not sure
[09:57] <thrope> joobie: yes
[09:57] <thrope> joobie: tar --update appends newer files
[09:57] <thrope> so it would always grow
[09:58] <thrope> it is not doing an rsync type incremental backup
[09:58] <joobie> llutz, looks like that only appends, doesnt --delete if it's been removed
[09:58] <joobie> yea
[09:59] <joobie> disk image sounds good
[09:59] <joobie> but sounds bad, because i need to create an image of the maximum partition size that it will be
[09:59] <joobie> so even if there's 5MB of data, the image will be maybe gigs
[10:00] <thrope> you need to make it big enough to hold anything you might want
[10:00] <thrope> but if it is empty it should compress really well
[10:00] <joobie> nod
[10:00] <joobie> hmm this depends
[10:00] <thrope> so use a cheap compression like gzip -1 or something in yoru script
[10:00] <joobie> i recall smoething like this a while back
[10:00] <joobie> when a file is removed, there's still bits in there that it will backup
[10:00] <Kurupt> hello
[10:01] <joobie> th eonly way to make the compression good was to do like a dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/file
[10:01] <Kurupt> how to add a username from bash with -g 0 and uid 0
[10:01] <joobie> to consume the free space with 0's.. then the compression would be good
[10:01] <joobie> given /tmp/file maxes out the free space
[10:01] <llutz> Kurupt: you don't want that. use sudo
[10:02] <joobie> is bz2 better compression than gz?
[10:02] <thrope> joobie: yes but it is much slower
[10:02] <joobie> ty
[10:02] <joobie> i might just use tar for this
[10:02] <joobie> and forget about incrementals
[10:03] <Ascavasaion> How do I force Xorg to go into a different resolution.  The native Lubuntu (doubt it is lunubtu specific) screen resolution only had 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480,  I know the monitor and card can go higher... but how?
[10:03] <Kurupt> joobie i want :)
[10:03] <Kurupt> why not?
[10:04] <joobie> Kurupt, want what?
[10:04] <llutz> Kurupt: it will break, sooner or later. i.e. some apps checking for "root" not for EUID
[10:05] <azizLIGHTS> what is load avg and how it differnt from cpu %
[10:05] <llutz> Kurupt: create a 2nd user, add him to "admin" group and learn to use sudo. all will be fine
[10:05] <Engin> how do i reverse a apt-get install (i.e. remove the package and everything instaleld because of it) ?
[10:06] <azizLIGHTS> thers a --purge switch ibleieve
[10:06] <seiphedias_> hello!
[10:06] <seiphedias_> I've downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition... burned it to a usb stick and installed it on my eee T91. When i start the computer Ubuntu 10.10 starts and the view is not like the screenshots of the Netbook Edition.
[10:07] <erUSUL> Engin: maybe sudo apt-get remove package && sudo apt-get autoremove ??
[10:07] <Engin> hmm
[10:07] <seiphedias_> Do i have to start or install something?
[10:07] <sagaci> Unsafe command
[10:08] <SergeyIT> seiphedias_, 1. sudo apt-get update
[10:10] <Kurupt> another question
[10:10] <Kurupt> i have a file
[10:10] <Ascavasaion> How do I force Xorg to go into a different resolution.  The native Lubuntu (doubt it is lunubtu specific) screen resolution only had 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480,  I know the monitor and card can go higher... but how?
[10:10] <Kurupt> i chmod +x file
[10:10] <Ascavasaion> Not all at once now :)
[10:10] <Kurupt> and when i execute i get -su: ./file2: No such file or directory
[10:11] <llutz> Kurupt: how do you execute it?
[10:12] <joobie> guys im trying to preserve everything with my tar
[10:12] <joobie> tar --atime-preserve -cpvzf
[10:12] <joobie> is that OK?
[10:12] <joobie> been through the man - just wnat to be sure that's the works
[10:12] <Kurupt> llutz ./file2
[10:13] <thrope> whats the command to view all the keycodes from all keypresses in x11

[10:15] <seiphedias_> SergeyIT thank you for your answer! I did the sudo apt-get update...
[10:16] <juniour> hi
[10:16] <juniour> hi can i share my internet connection to other system in ubuntu
[10:16] <bazhang> !ics > juniour
[10:16] <joobie> hmm with tar, if i do something like 'tar -cvzf /mnt/test/file.tar.gz /mnt/out' .. the tarball paths are all starting with '/mnt/out' .. how can i make it strip that /mnt/out from the prefix path in the tarball?
[10:17] <impi_busy> hello, i know this isn't #EC2 but if i have an ubuntu instance running on EC2 but my sites are slow and sluggish...php mem is upped. and cpu is okay. so i'm thinking disc. is there a nice tool out there to check disc speeds?
[10:17] <taran> erUSUL: Ok please HELP me here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/564897/
[10:17] <juniour> ubottu how to see private message
[10:18] <dr0id> uploads is a folder that contains many other folders in a hierarchy. now is it possible to delete all the folders called thumbs inside the uploads folder by a single command ? :)
[10:18] <iflema> silvery grub2 will let you do it all on the one hdd ittl boot the iso from hdd, having said that kubuntu failed this way once upon a time.....
[10:19] <juniour> hi can i share my internet connection to other system in ubuntu
[10:20] <greppy> !ics | juniour
[10:20] <erUSUL> taran: i do not see anythng obvious wrong...
[10:20] <erUSUL> taran: it fails from all the programas you tried printing?
[10:21] <silvery> iflema: thank you, it's very usefull information. Got to RTFM again))
[10:22] <taran> erUSUL: Test page fials. I did not try anything else
[10:22] <greppy> dr0id: find /path/to/uploads -name thumbs -type d -exec rm -r {} \;
[10:22] <erUSUL> dr0id: find uploads/ -type d -name "*thumbs*" -exec echo rm -r '{}' +
[10:22] <erUSUL> dr0id: if the output looks ok then remove the echo
[10:22] <dr0id> hmm
[10:23] <greppy> dr0id: The way erUSUL gave is safer, and will also match on having "thumbs" in any part of the filename.
[10:24] <_r1_> hi
[10:25] <erUSUL> taran: what model of printer is this?
[10:25] <zewb> i need help with my ubuntu system
[10:25] <zewb> i cant seem to su to root
[10:25] <taran> erUSUL: HP Laser jet 1020 plus
[10:25] <zewb> theres a password even though i didnt set one during installation
[10:26] <taran> erUSUL: Yesterday it printed test page when I checked Accept job option
[10:26] <erUSUL> taran: hp printers are the esiest to get running ...
[10:26] <zewb> whats the deal with that
[10:26] <greppy> !sudo | zewb
[10:26] <zewb> hmm
[10:26] <zewb> so like
[10:26] <erUSUL> zewb: ubuntu does not have a root account enabled
[10:26] <zewb> anyone can have root priviledges?
[10:26] <zewb> just by typing sudo?
[10:26] <zewb> or does it ask for the root password
[10:26] <erUSUL> !rootshell | zewb
[10:26] <DJones> zewb: The password for admin tasks using sudo etc will be your user password if you were the first person set up on the system
[10:26] <zewb> ok so when i use sudo
[10:27] <erUSUL> zewb: sudo asks for the users password
[10:27] <zewb> do i put in the root password or my password
[10:27] <zewb> ok
[10:27] <zewb> well thats kind of weird
[10:27] <FloodBot3> zewb: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:27] <_r1_> I'm running a Microsoft Windows in a virtual machine via virtualbox-ose Maverick packaged. That's very slow and I have noticed that even if I check "enable VT" on the VM config, the VT extensions aren't used in the VM. Any clue? (VT extensions are available in /proc/cpuinfo)
[10:27] <erUSUL> zewb: there is no root password
[10:27] <greppy> zewb: by default it only enables sudo for the user account you create during installation.
[10:27] <bluenemo> what is the your choice for a (business) calender programm with a gui? have a small linux administration business.. setting up linux and stuff :)
[10:27] <zewb> so all someone has to do is get my user password and they can have root access?
[10:27] <greppy> zewb: you can give other users sudo access, or access to only restricted commands.
[10:27] <zewb> wouldnt it be safer to have a password for users and a password for root?
[10:28] <erUSUL> zewb: so all someone has to do is get roots password and they can have root accesss?
[10:28] <zewb> well at least without sudo they need 2 passwords
[10:28] <erUSUL> zewb: how is any difference in getting your password or root's??
[10:28] <zewb> one to ssh in, because i dont permit root login from remote
[10:28] <bluenemo> erUSUL, well if you have the root pw you can login as root
[10:28] <zewb> and then another to get root priviledges
[10:28] <greppy> zewb: yes.  you can configure sudo to use another users password, for example I have seen people create the user "janitor" and the password for that account is required to sudo, not the users password, but the user still needs to be specified in /etc/sudoers.
[10:29] <zewb> that seems kind of silly though
[10:29] <lithiar> can I ask for help?
[10:29] <zewb> have there been any security exploits in sudo?
[10:29] <erUSUL> !ask | lithiar
[10:29] <taran> erUSUL: I have got the log of print troubleshoting here which will certainly help  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/564900/

[10:29] <lithiar> thanx! well I've got troubles with my graphic card
[10:30] <germanporn> lithiar, still not a question ... :-)

[10:30] <root_> 564902 i got error! need help!
[10:30] <bluenemo> lol germanporn xD
[10:30] <zewb> i think i would like to disable it
[10:30] <bluenemo> i like germanporn too :D
[10:30] <zewb> and just stick with the traditional unix way

[10:30] <taran> Please help me troubleshot printing problems here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/564900/
[10:30] <erUSUL> taran: also try to install the hplip tools
[10:30] <germanporn> bluenemo, ;-)
[10:30] <erUSUL> zewb: not supported here
[10:30] <itguru> I need to configure a headless server to call home via PPTP, the howtos that I find are all GUI based - any suggestions please :)
[10:30] <bluenemo> zewb, as root: apt-get purge sudo && passwd root
[10:31] <greppy> zewb: I don't know of any open security issues in sudo for now, as long as you keep your packages up to date, you should be safe for the most part.
[10:31] <llutz> taran: delete printer and use "sudo hp-setup" then to install it again
[10:31] <germanporn> zewb, sudo passwd root
[10:31] <erUSUL> bluenemo: please don't
[10:31] <tsimpson> zewb: why do you want to remove sudo?
[10:31] <zewb> bluenemo: i can't so to root
[10:31] <silvery> iflema: many thanks!
[10:31] <zewb> bluenemo: i can't *su to root
[10:31] <iflema> silvery and it didnt wrap =)
[10:31] <bluenemo> then use sudo su
[10:31] <bluenemo> but then better dont remove sudo :P
[10:31] <maninthemiddle> hey
[10:31] <amalgama> hello... i downloaded from repos gnome-shell... is it possible to have it as an option, in the login screen???
[10:31] <maninthemiddle> can you suggest some ssh utility to keep the list of my recently accessed usernames@hosts?
[10:31] <bluenemo> leave sudo there. its cool
[10:31] <zewb> no
[10:31] <zewb> i dont like it
[10:32] <maninthemiddle> terminal one
[10:32] <zewb> its had a lot of vulnerabilities
[10:32] <root_> what can i do? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/564902
[10:32] <_skpl> hello.
[10:32] <tsimpson> zewb: such as?
[10:32] <zewb> i dont want my server to get rooted
[10:32] <greppy> zewb: the linux kernel has had security issues in the past as well, going to remove that too?
[10:32] <zewb> tsimpson: sudo vulnerability
[10:32] <tsimpson> if you remove sudo, it'll be more likely to get rooted
[10:32] <zewb> tsimpson: google that
[10:32] <lithiar> well I experience some sort of graphic corruction, it starts as a bad font and then all the display is affected
[10:32] <bluenemo> well then kill it with apt-get purge sudo... then look if root has a pw in /etc/shadow
[10:32] <zewb> http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=sudo+exploits#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=sudo+vulnerability&cp=7&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=0&aqi=&aql=&oq=sudo+vu&pbx=1&bav=on.1,or.&fp=8dfe5727866dfbaf
[10:32] <erUSUL> zewb: use a distro that do not use sudo by default ( all of the other ones )
[10:32] <zewb> well i dont really want to reinstall linux
[10:32] <amalgama> also.. gnome-shell --replace keeps gnome-shell as default wm, or in the next login it will have gnome?? ( i am not testing it because of *fear* of sth happening)
[10:33] <zewb> i would rather just get the root account enabled
[10:33] <zewb> how do i do that
[10:33] <tsimpson> zewb: have you checked if any of the vulnerabilities you see actually exist?
[10:33] <bluenemo> zewb, you can backup your home folder and so keep all your settings. if your into security, use debian lenny
[10:33] <zewb> tsimpson: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=sudo+exploits#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=sudo+vulnerability&cp=7&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=0&aqi=&aql=&oq=sudo+vu&pbx=1&bav=on.1,or.&fp=8dfe5727866dfbaf
[10:33] <zewb> they are listed on ubuntu.com
[10:33] <erUSUL> zewb: bluenemo we do not support enabling the root password account in this channel
[10:33] <tsimpson> zewb: that's not an answer to my question
[10:33] <zewb> of course they are real
[10:33] <greppy> zewb: or if any of the vulnerabilities are in the current version?
[10:33] <FloodBot3> zewb: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:33] <tsimpson> zewb: do they _still_ exist
[10:33] <bluenemo> erUSUL, ah ok..
[10:33] <zewb> tsimpson: no but they could in a future update
[10:34] <zewb> so its something i constantly have to worry about
[10:34] <zewb> and it makes more sense to just take it out of the equation
[10:34] <tsimpson> zewb: and how many people have access to your system?
[10:34] <greppy> zewb: better shut off your computer then, because anything, even the linux kernel, could have a security flaw in the future.
[10:34] <tsimpson> zewb: and do you have ssh/telnet servers installed?
[10:34] <dandaman2> gonna turn my junker PC into a ubuntu box(well basically only the mobo blew out). I was wondering if there was a recommended lga 775 mobo that would work best with ubuntu?
[10:34] <root_> i know it's my fault that i upgraded but i had reason, because i wanted to dump nvidia and go nouveau
[10:35] <root_> so help, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/564902
[10:35] <zewb> tsimpson: yeah
[10:35] <zewb> my point is
[10:35] <zewb> sudo is a bad idea
[10:35] <tsimpson> zewb: if you have ssh or any remote login means, sudo is protection because people can not brute-force the root password
[10:35] <zewb> and i dont want to use it
[10:35] <erUSUL> dandaman2: MB are all quite compatible. problems are in other kind of hardware ( graphic card; wifi; webcam ...)
[10:36] <tsimpson> so, no, it's not a bad idea to use sudo
[10:36] <Tigerboy> no no sudo is as safe
[10:36] <erUSUL> zewb: « sudo is a bad idea » care to back that up with some reasoning?
[10:36] <Tigerboy> you can also redo sudo to require both a SU password and a user
[10:36] <erUSUL> zewb: or we have to accept your word ?
[10:36] <Tigerboy> but really just require users in sudoers to change passwords often
[10:36] <greppy> zewb: by default, only the user that you create during installation is configured to use sudo, you would have to add other accounts to it for them to be able to use it.
[10:37] <dandaman1> erUSUL: well i plan on using the onboard GFX card :\
[10:37] <Tigerboy> you can also limit the logon times in config file for things like sshd to halt any brute-force
[10:37] <erUSUL> dandaman1: get intel
[10:37] <dandaman1> onboard network card also(wont be needing wifi i dont think)
[10:37] <Tigerboy> sudo is just like runas in windows
[10:37] <dandaman1> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131629
[10:37] <dandaman1> i was thinking that
[10:37] <Tigerboy> runas admin
[10:38] <Tigerboy> but linux is more secure
[10:38] <dandaman1> looks like an extremely good lga 775 board, even supports ddr3
[10:38] <maninthemiddle> zewb: I'm not sure reconfiguring ubuntu to work without sudo worth the trouble. You will get less flexible setup, with some probability to actually make your security worse during such reconfiguration
[10:38] <erUSUL> zewb: first thing sudo is safer. with root account enabled i only have to guess your password with sudo i have to guess your login name *and* your password
[10:38] <lithiar> well I experience some sort of graphic corruction, it starts as a bad font and then all the display is affected, I've got an ATI RS960M, what am I supposed to do to fix it?
[10:38] <Tigerboy> zewb no just change passwords: limit SSHD to only users with say 30 second logon time frame
[10:38] <Tigerboy> problem solved
[10:39] <erUSUL> zewb: second; every sudo invocation/attemp is logged in auth.log better traceability/accounting. root logins? no luck.
[10:39] <Tigerboy> yes exactly good point erusul
[10:40] <tsimpson> zewb: sudo is protection for your system, just because there have been vulnerabilities discovered in the past does not mean it is not secure. many vulnerabilities have been discovered in PAM in the past, are you going to remove that too? what about the vulnerabilities in the kernel? does that mean that you should remove that?
[10:40] <Tigerboy> yep good security requires some work
[10:40]  * itguru wonders what happened?
[10:40] <erUSUL> zewb: so now tell us exactly how is sudo « a bad idea » ?
[10:40] <itguru> Is this room logged, can I check in case someone answered me while I was disconnected?
[10:41] <DJones> !logs | itguru

[10:41] <Tigerboy> zewb: is just not used to it yet. Because he has not thought about it fully.

[10:54] <Sydney6> i am new to this

[10:55] <libaofeng>  fir
[10:55] <YankDownUnder> sidd, Hmmm....what about just d/l'ing the package and doing the installation locally?
[10:56] <Laurenceb> ok... im running 10.04LTS, and trying to connect to a canon iR6570 over a LAN, using postscript driver its just chucking out raw postscript as text
[10:56] <sidd> well, that would get me unrar, but it would leave my apt-get in a messy state
[10:56] <sidd> since it will complain every time i try to run apt-get upgrade
[10:57] <YankDownUnder> sidd, You can just run "apt-get -f install" standalone, that generally fixes any issues with apt.
[10:57] <sidd> Yank, that's exactly what I did. It will try to complete the installation of unrar.

[11:12] <YankDownUnder> areay, Check your mouse preferences (focus follows pointer)

[11:24] <YankDownUnder> sneezebay, hostname
[11:24] <rr0hit> YankDownUnder: nope..only unetbootin...it works for few...when i write using dd, i get error: No operating system
[11:24] <sneezebay> YankDownUnder: Cool! How might I change that?
[11:25] <YankDownUnder> sneezebay, Um, the program is "hostname" => read "man hostname"
[11:25] <juk> very nobody out of 1000+ people using nouveau
[11:25] <juk> very nice
[11:26] <YankDownUnder> rr0hit, Bear in mind that USB's *can* become unusable relatively quickly when you're mucking with the partition table on them (which is also creating bootable's)
[11:26] <SoftTimur> could anyone help me to make a file read-only?
[11:26] <areay> YankDownUnder, well the problem has disappeared, for now anyway. i didn't change any settings so i'm not sure what the deal is... but for now i'm happy :) thanks for your help
[11:26] <JunkyJames> i cant seem to change MOTD on ubuntu 10.10 server....
[11:26] <YankDownUnder> areay, Coolbeans
[11:26] <rr0hit> YankDownUnder: then how come its working with unetbootin..
[11:27] <YankDownUnder> rr0hit, Mate, not sure - I don't use it (I'll stick with either dd or usb-creator-gtk)
[11:27] <sacarlson> Bushman: been so long I had problem finding what might work: sudo  modprobe -r ehci_hcd
[11:28] <rr0hit> YankDownUnder: thanks mate...i'll ask smwhere else...hope i dint mess my usb keyring !!
[11:28] <YankDownUnder> rr0hit, Hehehehehe...I toasted one the other day...
[11:30] <bc81> Pranav_rcmas: try the command    xset dpms force off
[11:30] <JetBoyJetGirl> is there a way I can see all my programs/ports/network connections through the terminal?
[11:30] <JetBoyJetGirl> I want a clear picture of my online activities in raw form
[11:30] <JetBoyJetGirl> im a noob btw
[11:31] <JetBoyJetGirl> if you didn't notice :P
[11:31] <SickAnim1tions> wat
[11:31] <bc81> !enter | JetBoyJetGirl :-)
[11:31] <JetBoyJetGirl> ahh... thanks for the tip ubottu
[11:32] <rr0hit> i can create bootable usb with unetbootin but not dd. It used to work earlier. ny idea y?
[11:32] <rr0hit> no other place to ask
[11:32] <YankDownUnder> JetBoyJetGirl, apt-get install trafshow tshark
[11:32] <sacarlson> Bushman: sudo  modprobe -r ehci_hcd ; should disable usb 2.0 and put things to usb 1.0 mode, last I used it was back around ubuntu 7.10,  if it works in test you might have to find a way to setup at boot time
[11:32] <bc81> JetBoyJetGirl: or try etherape
[11:33] <Diverdude> Is it possible to instruct rm to delete different file types? Something like: rm *.out *.o *.tex   ?
[11:33] <JetBoyJetGirl> great... thanks bc81, YankDownUnder
[11:33] <YankDownUnder> Diverdude, man rm
[11:34] <sacarlson> Diverdude: yes that works rm *.sh takes out all *.sh files in that dir , you can add recursive to delete into directory tree's as well
[11:35] <Bushman> sacarlson: no can doo: FATAL: Module ehci_hcd is builtin
[11:35] <Diverdude> sacarlson, yes, but can i do rm *.sh *.tex ? so that it moves both .sh files and .tex files and leaves everything else?
[11:35] <bc81> sacarlson: rm --help says, "-r, -R, --recursive   remove directories and their contents recursively"
[11:36] <bc81> oops, Diverdude that was for you ^^
[11:37] <gnewb> Diverdude: But please learn to and do backups before any CLI or Terminal commands are called for or used. And read the man.
[11:38] <sacarlson> Diverdude: oh I don't think so, you need as far as I know to do that command twice to do that operation, but I could be wrong

[11:44] <GeekMan> whats the channel for ubuntu ppc and is it active if you know
[11:45] <sacarlson> taran: It's unclear to me what you want to do in this bash file,  I've used bash files to create users with passwords does that count?
[11:45] <bc81> GeekMan: #ubuntu-powerpc  but not very many people in there
[11:45] <GeekMan> thanks

[11:46] <SoftTimur> hello all
[11:47] <SoftTimur> I want to append all the files *.txt in a folder to one file, with their filename, does anyone know how to write the command in terminal?
[11:47] <taran> sacarlson: I want username and password for proxy authentication to be saved so that while connecting to internet eveytime I dont have to enter
[11:47] <YankDownUnder> SoftTimur, You can use the "cp" command to do that. (man cp)
[11:48] <SoftTimur> it seems that we need "for", "echo", "*.txt", "cat" and ">>", but I do not remember the syntax
[11:49] <sacarlson> taran: ok so what proxy method do you use?  what software is working thought it?
[11:49] <RishavT> SoftTimur: cat *.txt -> z.txt
[11:49] <RishavT> SiftTimur: that way all the text will be stored in z.txt
[11:49] <SoftTimur> RishavT: I want to add their filename too...
[11:50] <RishavT> SoftTimur: oh ok. hold on, then.
[11:50] <taran> sacarlson: when I install some software from Synaptic it works well but when I type from command line  w3m www.rediff.com it asks foir username and password to connect to internt
[11:50] <SoftTimur> RishavT: I guess we need a "for"...
[11:50] <obengdako> how do i get compiz to work again it says no GL or GLX
[11:51] <RishavT> SoftTimur: yea, i guess. I can make a small python script if u want.
[11:51] <SoftTimur> someone showed me a command in Terminal to do that, but unluckly I forgot it
[11:51] <SoftTimur> so it is possible to do it in one line...
[11:52] <dr_Willis> A comlplex line. .
[11:52] <oxodesign> hi im new to ubuntu so sorry for asking such a stupid question, i have installed apache and php and trying to get FTP to work, installed vsftpd, created a ftpuser with the directory /var/www since I want that user to upload all the things on that directory, I have changed the vsftpd.conf so the local user have access to write, but when I log into ftp I dont have access to write, what im I missing?
[11:52] <oxodesign> do I need to give access to the /var/www folder for the ftpuser?
[11:53] <oxodesign> if so how?
[11:53] <s0u][ight> hello, why is the menu-bar of firefox not on the upper panel in the unity interface (10.10)?
[11:53] <dr_Willis> Its better to use SSH not FTP these days. oxodesign
[11:54] <th0r> oxodesign: a  better idea would be to set up the ftpuser as a normal user, then set apache to use a folder in the /home/ftpuser directory as the www base dir
[11:54] <sacarlson> taran: looks like you can add the password and user to the apt-get config file as Acquire::http::Proxy "http://MYDOMAIN\MYNAME:MYPASS@MY.PROXY.COM:MYPORT"
[11:54] <maninthemiddle> dr_Willis really?
[11:55] <sacarlson> taran: as seen at the bottom of this forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96802
[11:55] <taran> sacarlson: which file should I edit?
[11:55] <dr_Willis> s0u][ight:  a limitation of hoe the global. Menu works
[11:55] <s0u][ight> dr_Willis, come again
[11:55] <sacarlson> taran: in the file /etc/apt/apt.conf
[11:56] <dr_Willis> maninthemiddle:  FTP really needs to die Check..
[11:56] <oxodesign> dr_Willis: thnx didn't think about that :( as I said its my first ubuntu server, but if I want to use that how can I do it (i want to learn something too)?
[11:56] <RishavT> SoftTimur: http://paste.ubuntu.com/564941/  create a file (say x.py) in that folder. and then run "python x.py *.txt" in that folder.
[11:56] <oxodesign> th0r: that should also work thnx
[11:57] <RishavT> SoftTimur: ofcourse, paste all that in x.py
[11:57] <dr_Willis> !SSH
[11:57] <dr_Willis> Obbligatos
[11:57] <maninthemiddle> dr_Willis hope it will really die soon, so we all could use more secure and awesome rapidshare for all these public files, yeah
[11:58] <dr_Willis> SSH sftp.  Does most needs. Bye all
[11:58] <tekk> hey guys, i've recently grew the size of my virtualdisk in vmware, ubuntu did not automatically grow its ext partition to match... so firstly i'd like to know how to do that, also... mysqld now fails to start at all
[11:59] <maninthemiddle> meh, different tools serve different needs. It's just that lot of people misuse ftp for secure host-to-host transport
[11:59] <jazzz> hello
[11:59] <erUSUL> tekk: resize2fs ? gparted ?
[11:59] <Mooch1> can any one help?  I have a netgear wireless N300 router that I want behind a Lynksys wired router.  I have used www.routerlogin.com (and .net) as well as192
[11:59] <jazzz> what is the shortcut to open a terminal in xfce
[12:00] <jazzz> ??
[12:00] <tekk> in order to resize2fs i'll have to firstly re-create a better partition table though
[12:00] <farciarz84> HI, I created a user with his homedir, how can I lock the user into this dir preventing from going up?
[12:00] <tekk> wondered if there was a better way
[12:00] <bc81> jazzz: i think it's xfce4-terminal
[12:00] <jazzz> ok but i'm looking for the shortcut
[12:00] <farciarz84> I just want to make dir as home but give no cd.. permission
[12:01] <farciarz84> if i do chmod -x /home/dir then he cannot log there
[12:01] <hdtdi> is there any "base ubuntu.iso" that i can download and install. i dont want games and cupsd and a bunch of other things
[12:01] <Bushman> sacarlson: modprobe says: FATAL: Module ehci_hcd is builtin
[12:01] <Bushman> sacarlson: what now? :P
[12:01] <jrib> !minimal | hdtdi
[12:01] <th0r> farciarz84: the user is locked into his home dir for writing unless you give him further access. He will only be able to look into anything further up
[12:02] <sacarlson> Bushman: I don't know recompile the kernel so it's not built in?
[12:02] <SoulRaven> please help me with some information regarding, how to setup a vpn tunnel
[12:02] <SoulRaven> i can't set a vpn tunnel using nat transversal
[12:02] <farciarz84> th0r: tell me the permission rule for the directory that someone can access it but cannot go up
[12:03] <SoulRaven> i have installed racoon and ipsec-tools
[12:03] <farciarz84> 700?
[12:03] <bc81> jazzz: you mean you want a keyboard shortcut?  for that you have to make one
[12:03] <JunkyJames> :P
[12:03] <SoulRaven> please help me
[12:03] <th0r> farciarz84: as far as I know there would be no easy way to keep someone from looking into the directory tree.
[12:03] <Bushman> sacarlson: that's out of an option. re-compiling stuff usualy ends badly in my case so i won't push my luck
[12:04] <RishavT> farciarz84: 700 = owner can read/write/execute, everyone else can do nothing. I'd prefer 770 (owner & group can read/write/execute. everyone else= nothing)
[12:04] <sacarlson> Bushman: building a kernel is not that big a task you create a custom deb file that you install and can move back to your old kernel if it fails
[12:05] <RishavT> farciarz84: although I dont know if that'd prevent cd-ing to those directories.
[12:05] <bc81> jazzz: xfce4-keyboard-settings >> shortcuts
[12:05] <Bushman> sacarlson: ok, i'll leave that as an option for later
[12:05] <SoulRaven> help?
[12:06] <sacarlson> Bushman: but I'm sure it's may not be an easy action for some noobs
[12:07] <sacarlson> Bushman: other option is find an older or newer kernel that's already built that has it not built in
[12:08] <rafael> :)
[12:08] <bc81> !vpn !openvpn | SoulRaven

[12:10] <jenka> Hi I need help citadel and multiple domains I dosnt really know how to do it..? And I cant find any tutorials.. :)
[12:11] <Mooch1> I have a netgear wireless N300 router that I want behind a Lynksys wired router.  I have used www.routerlogin.com (and .net) as well as <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>  but the IP addresses just get me into the Lynksys and the "web addresses" just take me to a "BS" netgear help page .  I cant log into the wireless to setup the security.  any network gurus ?
[12:11] <DeCorrino> hi everybody
[12:13] <gnewb> jenka: Is the pkg installed and are you running a server?
[12:13] <rwwowt> Hi, I downloaded an application compressed (.tar.gz) How can Install it plz?
[12:14] <jenka> hnewb: yes I ahve citadel running and it works perfect.. But i cant really figure out how to get 2 domain names running on the same cit server
[12:14] <jrib> rwwowt: what application?
[12:14] <sagaci> Uncompress is
[12:14] <rwwowt> jrib: its an emulator for linux called gngeo
[12:15] <jrib> rwwowt: you extract it (you can double click or use « tar xf file » in a shell) and then read the documentation (usually INSTALL or README file).  If it's something you need to compile, see ubottu
[12:15] <jrib> !compile | rwwowt
[12:15] <gnewb> jenka: All I found were some Forum pages and the official Repo page, still looking for a configuration document.
[12:16] <jenka> gnewb: Ok
[12:17] <rwwowt> jrib: ok thanks!
[12:17] <jazzz> bc81 thank you but i can't do that, because nautilus is not working, i have a bug
[12:17] <tal> Yo dudes! I wanna use xsplash, but I can't get rid of plymouth(looks like it's part of core), any help? Thanks (10.10)
[12:17] <gnewb> jenka: Is it the WebKit that you need info on?
[12:17] <jazzz> that's why i'm looking for the shortcut to lauch the terminal, to solve the problem
[12:18] <bc81> jazzz: ok, alt+f2
[12:18] <jazzz> alt+f2 is not working
[12:18] <SoulRaven> how i configure racoon for nat transversal
[12:18] <jazzz> maybe because nautilus is not running?
[12:18] <jrib> tal: why do you say "looks like it's part of core"?
[12:19] <SoulRaven> i have a configuration righ now, and is working, but when i start racoon, i can't see someting like this INFO: <IP_ADDRESS>[4500] used as isakmp port (fd=6)
[12:19] <jazzz> any idea?
[12:19] <tal> jrib: Because if I remove it, apt wants to also remove a whole lot of other essential stuff, like alsa and gdm and all that.
[12:20] <bc81> jazzz: ctrl+alt+f for a virtual terminal
[12:20] <jazzz> i try
[12:20] <bc81> jazzz: ctrl+alt+f2 for a virtual terminal
[12:20] <gnewb> jenka: May be here> http://www.citadel.org/doku.php/doku.php?id=faq:start
[12:21] <jazzz> not working
[12:21] <jrib> tal: I see.  Did you attempt just installing xsplash and then reading the documentation (especially if the maintainer included a README in /usr/share/doc/xsplash)?
[12:21] <jenka> gnewb: Ok look at it :) thank you
[12:21] <jazzz> not working either
[12:22] <gnewb> jenka: You are welcome, that looks like the How To on everything about that.
[12:22] <DeCorrino> I have a little question: which systems can deny the load of kernel modules? modprobe gives an error: Error inserting ... : Operation not permitted. I'm root. CONFIG_MODULES is yes. Module and kernel version are the same. selinux is not installed. apparmor not configured. Any ideas?
[12:22] <jazzz> it's on xfce ok?
[12:23] <tal> Yeah, but I can't seem to use it. Plymouth won't change from default.
[12:24] <jrib> tal: is there a particular reason you want to use xsplash over plymouth?
[12:24] <edwardteach> jazzz, do you have gnome installed
[12:24] <jazzz> what can i do?
[12:24] <jazzz> isn't it xfce instead of gnome?
[12:24] <cmc2001> Hello. I am in need of sound converter that could output RIFF/WAve in LPCM 8bit mono ie conversion tool where i got really good control on output. Could anyone suggest anything?
[12:24] <clasnik> uhh, stupid question, but if I wanted to enable telnet in on a ubuntu 8.10 server what would i do, more specificly, what program takes care of that, because I want to research how to set it up for a specific reason.
[12:24] <sagaci> !eol
[12:25] <razz11> why does not linux headers files update automatically on one system where as on an other system they do, with out those my nvidia driver fails at restart
[12:25] <YouKay> Hey guys, suppose I have a printer and a number of jpg files. Is there a terminal command to quickly print all of them using wildcards?
[12:25] <jazzz> edwardteach isn't it gnome or kde or xfce?
[12:26] <jazzz> do i make a mistake?
[12:26] <erUSUL> YouKay: lp or lpr
[12:26] <tal> Yeah, Plymouth doesn't seem to work well with nvidia cards. (I get text mode on the splash screen). Also, I just like xsplash better.
[12:26] <clasnik> sagaci, well i doubt the program has changed from 8.10 to what ever version your on now. I was just wanting a program name to research for ubuntu.
[12:26] <jazzz> i think it's xfce here
[12:26] <YouKay> erUSUL: Oh! Should have realized it, thanks
[12:26] <tal> It has more options
[12:27] <razz11> any one using nut to monitor usb ups, I am having trouble with belkin model,
[12:27] <sacarlson> razz11: did you install nvida direct from the nvidea site?  if so it might not have been registered in packages to upgrade or update
[12:27] <Jcmxwl> nice flash game==>http://plutokeongv.mybrute.com
[12:27] <edwardteach> jazzz, have you tried alt ctl t for terminal
[12:28] <jazzz> y
[12:28] <jazzz> not working
[12:28] <surya> how to run testusb.c?
[12:29] <bc81> !offtopic | Jcmxwl
[12:29] <th0r> surya: you don't run .c, you compile it
[12:29] <cba123> I have an iPad with a VNC app.  It can connect via an SSH tunnel, however when I try to connect to with VNC over SSH, it says "connection refused" do I have to "enable" tunneling on my Ubuntu?
[12:29] <sagaci> Like making a cake
[12:29] <razz11> sacarlson: a year ago, i was having trouble with the driver, played around with different versions. it might have caused some issues. how do register it to update the header files when ever there is a new kernel update
[12:30] <DeCorrino> bye
[12:30] <surya> th0r: yaa i compiled  testusb.c
[12:30] <sagaci> Well done
[12:30] <razz11> cba123: can you post the command you use to connect
[12:31] <razz11> cba123: what vnc server are you trying to connect to?
[12:32] <cba123> razz11, that's partly the issue.  It's an app, it does the command without showing me.  I can SSH in through, with an SSH app.  I installed x11vnc after googling around a bit.
[12:33] <sacarlson> razz11: I'm not sure I did as you and at the time I needed the nvidea versions direct from the nvidea site and I have the same problem at update and upgrade time,  my solution is don't update or upgrade unless needed,  if the System>administration>Hardware driver worked then maybe no problem?
[12:33] <cba123> Actually, I think I might have part of the problem.  It has an option for VNC IP and SSH IP.  If I'm tunneling, wouldn't my VNC IP be <IP_ADDRESS>, or at least my local ip?
[12:34] <surya> th0r: u know how to compile testusb.c
[12:34] <cba123> razz11, Actually, I think I might have part of the problem.  It has an option for VNC IP and SSH IP.  If I'm tunneling, wouldn't my VNC IP be <IP_ADDRESS>, or at least my local ip?  (forgot to put your name at the front)
[12:34] <razz11> cba123: so did you set up the x11vncrc file, yes it has to be <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:34] <cba123> razz11, No, thought it setup partly itself.  I'll look up how to do that.
[12:36] <surya> how to test the usb on linux
[12:36] <sacarlson> surya: test?  maybe lsusb
[12:37] <razz11> cba123: what I do is i ssh first and run x11vnc then if successful it will show that it is listening on port 5900, my suggestion is to try vinagre first, its easy to setup. and always use pub key encryption for ssh, if you just use password, check your logs to see how many attempts are made on port 22, hope its not 22, but its not a good idea
[12:37] <surya> yaa i did lsusb i got the usb devices?
[12:37] <sacarlson> surya: I guess to test a usb device would depend on what device it is,
[12:37] <oxodesign> how can I check what modules are installed on apache?
[12:38] <sacarlson> surya: yes lsusb give a list of all that is seen on the usb buss
[12:39] <surya> sacarlson, yaa but i am unable to test  pendrive
[12:39] <razz11> sacarlson: workaround is to install the header files manually with the kernel update
[12:39] <razz11> sacarlson: was trying to find a permanent solution
[12:39] <surya> i am testing gadget device from usbtest driver?
[12:40] <georg> Guten Tag.
[12:40] <cba123> razz11, isn't vinagre a viewer?  I need something to connect to.  I did x11vnc, and ran it.  I can see my screen on my iPad now, but I can't modify anything.  And if I disconnect and reconnect, I have to manually restart x11vnc.
[12:40] <georg> Ich hab ne Frage zum hardwarewechsel.
[12:40] <erUSUL> !de
[12:40] <dragon67>  /connect irc.2600.net
[12:40] <sacarlson> surya: well for a pendrive I guess I would load an image like an iso file onto it and then do a md5sum on the iso file I put on it to see that it didn't get corrupted
[12:40] <surya> sacarlson, but unable to test my pendrive by using testusb.c
[12:44] <jenka> Hi, Cant get citadel to work with multiple domains. Does I need to run 2 citadel server on the same machine to get it to work?

[12:46] <cba123> razz11, Sorry, power blinked.  But yes, I can get a connection via x11vnc, but can't interact.  I also can't connect more than once without restarting x11vnc.
[12:46] <razz11> cba123: you can also just use the command line switches with the x11vnc, and vino is the server, pretty crap but easy to setup. see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1547773&highlight=987a654, x11vnc maintainer helped me
[12:46] <DarsVaeda> hi, i want to setup a virtual host on my localhost, can someone point me to a tutorial?
[12:47] <c4pt> hey i was wondering. is it possible to use packet filtering and altQ with ubuntu
[12:47] <c4pt> i see pfctl pf and altq in the ubuntu man pages
[12:47] <c4pt> but i cant seem to find pf
[12:47] <c4pt> please tell me it is so
[12:47] <razz11> cba123: do you use pub keys
[12:48] <surya> sacarlson, ru there?
[12:48] <razz11> cba123: if not go with hamachi, way easy, but if you need top security, i guess ssh with pub-private key setup
[12:51] <surya> sacralson, tell how to test my pen drive. if i am testing it is giving below error ( Inappropriate ioctl for device  )
[12:51] <moldaz> hey
[12:52] <moldaz> i was wondering if i can get some help with my wifi
[12:52] <ColombianBootloa> what is wrong with your wifi
[12:53] <c4pt> can someone please tell me if this is possible on ubuntu 10.10 http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man4/pf.4.html
[12:53] <c4pt> ????
[12:53] <c4pt> i just installed ubuntu then freebsd 8.1 amd64 then debian-kfreebsd and now im back on ubuntu
[12:53] <surya> hey any one knows regarding usbtest on Linux
[12:53] <moldaz> well basically i installed the drivers it worked fine for about 2 minutes
[12:53] <c4pt> (i have my reasons)
[12:53] <moldaz> and then it stopped working and now it wont connect
[12:54] <ColombianBootloa> what sort of wifi do you have..is it a dongle?
[12:54] <sipior> c4pt: have a look at iptables for packet filtering. "man iptables" is pretty comprehensive.
[12:54] <moldaz> no its  built into my laptop
[12:54] <sacarlson> surya: I looked at it but never got it to work, so what's wrong with just a go/ nogo test with write an image to the usb flash and check it's ok?
[12:55] <c4pt> sipior, yeah but i like the layout of pf.conf    :/
[12:55] <sipior> c4pt: life is hard sometimes.
[12:55] <ColombianBootloa> what is your laptop model??
[12:55] <c4pt> lol
[12:55] <sacarlson> surya: other method I guess would put patterns into the device with the dd command and compare the output of the dd dump
[12:56] <knxville> Im trying to add a font on a ubuntu server to be picked up by my style.css in drupal for a headline on a webpage, but it does not find it..
[12:56] <sipior> c4pt: if you really want pf, best just to run bsd.
[12:56] <knxville> Is there somewhere to see what fonts ive got installed
[12:56] <moldaz> its a dell pp33l
[12:57] <rkhshm1> while trying to build libaxis used for eucalyptus i get such errors.. http://pastie.org/1544704
[12:57] <rkhshm1> any ideas guys ?
[12:57] <rkhshm1> its kinda important so would be grateful to get some leads on this.
[12:57] <surya> sacarlson, ok yaa i will try it. thanks for ur suggestion? but what is the meaning of: inappropiate ioctl for device
[12:58] <teage> can i use remote desktop viewer to copy to and from my desktop with my laptop?
[12:58] <sipior> rkhshm1: this is...an ubuntu system?
[12:58] <bc81> knxville: what i do is make a folder ~/.fonts and drop them in there, your mileage may vary
[12:58] <sacarlson> surya: not sure what ioctl problem is,  but did you see these links http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newbie/172669-testusb-test-application.html
[12:58] <sipior> rkhshm1: i'm guessing no...
[12:58] <rkhshm1>  sipior: well its on squeeze
[12:58] <knxville> bc81, my fc-cache finds them in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/
[12:58] <bc81> teage: not to my knowledge, no
[12:59] <lostern> Is there a page with supported hardware?
[12:59] <bedahr>  /join #nvidia
[12:59] <rkhshm1> sipior: but since eucalyptus is ported for ubuntu i thought i'll ask here
[12:59] <sipior> rkhshm1: best to talk to the folks who wrote the software.
[12:59] <teage> bc81 thanks for the info
[13:00] <Pici> rkhshm1: #ubuntu-server would probably be a better place
[13:00] <rkhshm1> sipior: you know if they have an IRC channel
[13:00] <rkhshm1> oh. i see..
[13:00] <rkhshm1> thanks
[13:00] <surya> sacarlson, oki will cheak it. but i was doing usbtest from the below link http://www.linux-usb.org/usbtest/ plz check this link
[13:00] <sipior> rkhshm1: i'm afraid i don't, no.
[13:00] <bc81> !hwdb | lostern
[13:00] <lostern> bc81: thanks
[13:00] <sipior> Pici: i'm pretty sure they won't support solaris in #ubuntu-server either ;-)
[13:01] <surya> sacarlson, and give me suggestion how  to do usbtest i will wait for ur reply

[13:01] <firefoxx> Hi all! I need some help with Midnight Commander... It says: Cannot save '/home/username/.mc/ini.8K43QV'
[13:01] <lostern> bc81: But I'm trying to find recommendations for hardware to buy
[13:01] <Pici> sipior: oh. I missed that.
[13:01] <firefoxx> cause I haven't got the permission
[13:02] <cba123> razz11, I don't really know what a pub key is, apart from the obvious english meaning.  I'd prefer a bit more security, if it doesn't take hours and hours of setup.
[13:02] <sacarlson> surya: I just looked at your link I don't see the added part that the link I gave you seems to need to add with the lsmod stuf
[13:02] <DarsVaeda> if i edit my hosts file do i have to run a command to enable it instantly without restarting?
[13:03] <andreylosev> !help
[13:03] <sipior> DarsVaeda: shouldn't do, no.
[13:03] <c4pt> sipior, in the beginning there was only bsd so stfu and smoke my weed
[13:04] <sacarlson> surya: looks like you need to add  rmmod usb_storage; insmod usbtest.ko vendor=0x0930 product=0x6545  before you run as seen in the link
[13:04] <sipior> c4pt: stay classy!
[13:04] <Pici> c4pt: Mind the attitude please.  And remember that this channel is for *Ubuntu* support only.
[13:04] <c4pt> sipior, :P
[13:05] <surya> sacarlson, i got same output from as per your link.but i am not able to do control test for my pendrive
[13:05] <Gwar_Trolle> Pici: real men use Debian Stable

[13:06] <feday> anyone knows if resume from a suspended session is bugged in lucid+ati+kms ?
[13:06] <Gwar_Trolle> feday: ANy Linux + Ati = Bugged so hard up the arse it sneezes bugs
[13:06] <razz11> cba123: I highly recommend you use hamachi, its less work and will be excellent for your needs without opening up any unnecessary security holes
[13:07] <debuggerboy> clear
[13:07] <Gwar_Trolle> razz11: You need sudo :P
[13:07] <surya> sacarlson, i did rmmod usb-storage its working
[13:07] <debuggerboy> hi
[13:07] <eagles0513875|2> where would be the best place to ask about setting up ones own repositories
[13:07] <surya> sacarlson, this is not working insmod usbtest.ko vendor=0x0930 product=0x6545
[13:07] <debuggerboy> need a help with old network cxard in ubuntu
[13:07] <razz11> Gwar_Trolle: of course,
[13:07] <sacarlson> surya: I thought you said you tryed it and it DIDN't work?
[13:07] <heyy> hi!
[13:07] <Gwar_Trolle> debuggerboy: throw lspci into a terminal and tell us what the chipset is
[13:08] <cba123> razz11, I would, but the client is an iPad.  Meaning no hamachi.  I have hamachi for my laptop to connect though.  I'll be back in a few hours, have to go to class.
[13:08] <debuggerboy> I have a dual port HP network card. Its not getting recognized in my ubuntu.
[13:08] <heyy> Q: DHCP-server, I get the check syslog for diagnostics.
[13:08] <heyy>    ...fail!  message
[13:08] <Gwar_Trolle> debuggerboy: throw lspci into a terminal and tell us what the chipset is. HP brand tells us nothing ;)
[13:08] <debuggerboy> 04:08.0 Ethernet controller: Device 0022:2000 (rev 25)
[13:08] <surya> sacarlson, why it didn't work tell me?
[13:08] <Progal> jesus: hello
[13:08] <heyy> does anybody know how I can make eth1 lease the dhcp
[13:09] <heyy> I think its somethng in the conffiles
[13:09] <debuggerboy> I can see a PCnet chip on board that NIC
[13:09] <sacarlson> surya: you need to read the link that was just an example entry,  you need to look at output of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices  to determine what to pass the *.ko file
[13:09] <heyy> Q: Somebody can dhcp.conf?
[13:10] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[13:10] <razz11> cba123: not sure about ipad, see if they have a experimental version. their beta versions are pretty stable.

[13:14] <surya> how to solve this
[13:14] <extra11> is ubuntus website faster
[13:14] <extra11> or is torrent?
[13:14] <sacarlson> surya: I guess you have to pass the path to your usbtest.ko file that was compiled with the usbtest.c
[13:14] <bc81> torrent is made for speed
[13:15] <andreylosev> torrent is faster
[13:15] <rjharv> extra11: torrent or find a local mirror
[13:15] <researcher1> sacrlson: is it this Acquire::http::Proxy "http://MYDOMAIN\MYNAME:MYPASS@MY.PROXY.COM:MYPORT"?
[13:15] <NixGeek> extra11: the torrent has a ton of seeders

[13:18] <sacarlson> surya: it's not a package you must have compiled it?
[13:19] <GeorgeA> Is there a way to disable keyboard shortcuts from the command line? (not using system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts)
[13:19] <sacarlson> surya:  insmod /path/to/my/file/usbtest.ko vendor=0x0930 product=0x6545
[13:19] <mrexen> how's it going guys
[13:19] <mrexen> any xz experts about?
[13:19] <jrib> GeorgeA: sure, use gconftool-2
[13:20] <extra11> ubuntu is the best!
[13:20] <GeorgeA> jrib, any clue what's the argument to that? because it's a hassle to use it with every key... isn't there a way to just disable everything?
[13:20] <surya> sacarlson, ok i will try and come back to u?
[13:21] <FMAranda> Hello, I'm new to Ubuntu, I just installed and everything if fine, but it doesn't show the boot screen on startup, I have only a black screen
[13:21] <jrib> GeorgeA: not that I know of.  Should be easy enough to do it with one command
[13:22] <sacarlson> surya: I just found this http://www.makestuff.eu/wordpress/?p=1023  so it's part of a standard kernel in 10.04
[13:22] <jrib> GeorgeA: I mean I don't know of a single key that disables shortcuts, but it should be easy to write a one
[13:22] <FMAranda> Im using Ubuntu 10.10 and I have an Intel GMA X4100
[13:22] <jrib> GeorgeA: I mean I don't know of a single key that disables shortcuts, but it should be easy to write a one-liner to disable them all
[13:22] <GeorgeA> jrib, i guess so, just need to find all of them somehow
[13:23] <bc81> GeorgeA: look in gconf-editor >> /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/calculator
[13:23] <mrexen> I'm looking to compress 1gb files into an .xz file, any xz experts about?
[13:23] <GeorgeA> bc81, alright, let me check

[13:23] <KREDO> !op
[13:23] <jrib> KREDO: ?
[13:24] <KREDO> :)
[13:24] <jrib> KREDO: why did you call the ops?
[13:24] <GeorgeA> bc81, great, thanks
[13:24] <KREDO> i dont speak english
[13:24] <FMAranda> GeorgeA jrib Can you guys help me? Did you see my problem? :D
[13:25] <jrib> KREDO: please don't call !ops for no reason
[13:25] <jrib> !helpme | FMAranda
[13:25] <bc81> FMAranda: do you have any other OS installed on the same machine?
[13:25] <FMAranda> Yes
[13:26] <bc81> FMAranda: need more !details
[13:26] <jrib> GeorgeA: /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/keybindings
[13:27] <FMAranda> bc81: I'm leaving Windows 7 and moving to Ubuntu, I just installed it but it doesn't show the boot screen, I have only a black screen, if I try the Live CD it works
[13:27] <jrib> GeorgeA: there's an "active" key in there.  Probably does what you want
[13:27] <bc81> jrib: nice find man
[13:27] <GeorgeA> jrib, thansk, i was looking at it since bc81 mentioned it.. thanks to both of you
[13:28] <surya> sacarlson,i gone throuh the link. /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-custom,  but blacklist-custom file is not appear in my kernel so i cant reload udev file
[13:28] <mrexen> hey guys, trying to compress 1gb files into a single .xz file using xz, not caring at all about time but instead compression ratio
[13:28] <GeorgeA> jrib, oh sorry you mentioned plugins.. i'll take a loko
[13:28] <kmieciu> hi :)
[13:29] <sacarlson> surya: what version of ubuntu are you running and what kernel uname -a
[13:29] <mrexen> is there a better channel I should be asking for xz help?
[13:30] <KREDO> !ubuntu 11.04
[13:30] <surya> Linux enmedia-desktop 2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 06:07:29 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[13:30] <FMAranda> Is this the real support channel, there isn't support here.
[13:31] <sacarlson> surya: I don't see it on my 2.6.32-21-generic eather
[13:31] <mrexen> FMAranda: people don't get paid to give support here, you'll have to be patient
[13:31] <bullgard4> !patience | FMAranda
[13:31] <surya> so where i  have to see?
[13:33] <mrexen> anyone know a bit about xz here?
[13:33] <sacarlson> surya: maybe time to try another method of testing your flash drive?  hwtest on windows works too
[13:33] <bc81> mrexen: all i know is file-roller has xz support
[13:34] <mrexen> bc81: I'm just trying to use the command line version of xz and compress a bunch of 1gb files (using 1gb of memory at a time) not caring about time but caring about compression ratios. it would use a lot of the custom compressor filter chains
[13:35] <surya> sacarlson, give melinks for another tests for my flash drive only on linux i want to do? plz   yaar
[13:35] <surya> my boss is scolding me?
[13:35] <hdtdi> why when i remove cups(i dont have printer) i get update manager with cups under "important security updates"?
[13:36] <hdtdi> and asks me to install it
[13:36] <hiexpo> you need cups
[13:36] <hdtdi> so.. cups is not for printeres? or at least not JUST for them?
[13:36] <sacarlson> surya: I don't have any links just a simple process that copy a big file to the disk and check it with md5sum, that simple
[13:36] <hiexpo> !cups
[13:37] <BluesKaj> hdtdi, it will until you remove the config files
[13:37] <hdtdi> i see
[13:37] <sacarlson> surya: do you know how to use md5sum?
[13:37] <BluesKaj> it's no harm to leave them there , so it's ready when you do install aprinter , hdtdi
[13:38] <surya> sorry ya : i dont know yaa how to use md5sum?
[13:38] <surya> i will check it how to use md5sum
[13:38] <sacarlson> surya: try man md5sum
[13:38] <hdtdi> BluesKaj, yeah but my update manager will aways pop up with the packages to install them
[13:38] <surya> ok thanks yaa
[13:38] <surya> i will check it
[13:39] <mrexen> irc client for emacs?? ewww
[13:40] <mrexen> looking for an xz expert...
[13:41] <BluesKaj> hdtdi, the update manager is a pita , I just remove it ..run your updates/upgrades in apt in the console instead , it's cleaner and less clunky
[13:41] <gunndawg> hey mario

[13:45] <surya> sacarlson,  i type md5sum -b in terminal   .. i am getting no output only cursor is blinking
[13:45] <david506> or something like that?
[13:47] <sacarlson> surya: just type md5sum nameofyourimagefile
[13:47] <sacarlson> surya: it will return a hex checksum of the file you give it
[13:49] <RickJames> is there a way to shut off the "suspend" or "shut down" option on a lapptop when the lid is closed? ubuntu 10.10 64bit
[13:49] <sacarlson> surya: pick a big file like 700meg or the whatever you plan to put on your disk like ubuntu.iso file,  do md5sum ubuntu.iso,  copy the ubuntu.iso file to the usb flash and repeat the test with the path now to the usb flash file copy,  compare results
[13:52] <erUSUL> david506: use grep with -C ( or -A and -B options ) ?
[13:52] <bc81> RickJames: single commad:     gconftool-2 --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_ac --type string "nothing" & gconftool-2 --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_battery --type string "nothing"
[13:54] <jrib> david506: you might consider less with -p too.  Or you can hack something together with sed.  Why do you want to do this?
[13:54] <sandeepchoubey> hi
[13:54] <surya> sacarlson, thanks yarr its working fine
[13:54] <sandeepchoubey> any buddy there
[13:54] <david506> For example, when running ngrep or tcpdump, I pipe into tee to have a file copy, and I want to highlight specifc strings that are important
[13:55] <david506> -C25 will work for my needs for now. Thanks :)
[13:55] <Travis-42> If I want to check a hard drive for errors, and I don't care about existing data on it -- should I just use badblocks in write-mode?

[13:56] <RickJames> bc81 does this allow an option box to come up so i can change back when needed?
[13:56] <sandeepchoubey> can any tell me that which is better fedora of ubantu
[13:56] <sandeepchoubey> ..?
[13:56] <jrib> sandeepchoubey: try both and use the one you like better
[13:57] <home-alone> ubuntu for desktop and fedora for enterprise
[13:57] <RickJames> sandeepchoubey, i prefer ubuntu more since 10.10 was released, and i'm superexcited about 11.04
[13:57] <surya> sacarslon, however it is working fine i am happy i will explain to my boss. this md5sum process is it ok. means i am happy?
[13:57] <surya> thanks yarr?
