[00:00] <gentoo-intel> itll be obvious if someone tried to wordlist you / whatever
[00:00] <gentoo-intel> did it instantly shutdown or proper shutdown?
[00:01] <g0dzilla> first time it instantly shutdown
[00:01] <g0dzilla> and second time it totally hanged!
[00:01] <gentoo-intel> could be hardware
[00:01] <djjonex> i have a windows computer with bad hard drive but the restore partition is fine... how i can export that?
[00:01] <gentoo-intel> if it instantly shutdown
[00:03] <crash1hd> thank goodnes for ubuntu classic
[00:03] <crash1hd> :)
[00:03] <ChogyDan> djjonex: maybe just copy all the files off the partition
[00:06] <crash1hd> which is faster dd or ddrescue?
[00:06] <crash1hd> or would the be about the same in timelength?
[00:07] <ikonia> same
[00:09] <djjonex> ChogyDan: ill try copy from a live cd
[00:09] <crash1hd> ikonia, thanks :)
[00:11] <Malang> can you name any software for ubuntu for sql Vulnerability scanning?
[00:16] <hidnshadows> Hey guys, i have a touchpad problem... I just booted up my computer, and the touchpad isnt workig. Is there any app or settig that will let me use keys as a pointer? Im on an iphone with an IRC client, thats how desparate I am
[00:18] <Spliffy> hi
[00:18] <Spliffy> sorry, had to dash off to put the baby to sleep
[00:20] <rypervenche> hidnshadows: You shouldn't need a touchpad to get into IRC.
[00:20] <edbian> My baby has a 3Ghz processor
[00:21] <phong_> hi guys, i have question: how can you start an app as service ?
[00:22] <ionite> what does this means? Cannot get the exclusive lock on the packaging backend. Please close any other legacy packaging t
[00:22] <phong_> i want ubuntu to start with realvnc running
[00:22] <ikonia> phong_: what application do you want to start ?
[00:22] <crash1hd> ok is gddrescue gui based or still shell
[00:22] <rampage73> hidnshadows, what kind of laptop?
[00:22] <phong_> example:  blabla
[00:22] <ikonia> phong_: you would need to run that in daemon mode and use an "init script" to start with upstart when the machine boots
[00:22] <phong_> ikonia, i'm noob show me
[00:23] <phong_> let say i have app name iis "blabla"
[00:23] <rampage73> hidnshadows, hp's have a button that disables the touch pad others have the same thing but with function keys like fn + f7
[00:23] <tanath> anyone know how to determine which process a window belongs to?
[00:23] <ikonia> phong_: it's quite complex, the easy cheeat would be to put it in the file /etc/rc.local
[00:23] <Yngvi> Hey Guys!!
[00:23] <phong_> put what?
[00:23] <ikonia> phong_: the startup options for vnc
[00:24] <rampage73> ikonia, just curious are you an acer iconia tab expert? if so I have a question
[00:24] <ikonia> rampage73: no
[00:24] <tanath> i got an error that says "error reading pidfile!" but i don't know what it's from...
[00:24] <phong_> ikonia, come on, that is a text file.. has the 'exit 0'
[00:24] <rampage73> ikonia, ok thanks
[00:25] <phong_> what do i put there?
[00:25] <ikonia> phong_: correct, it's a text file, where if you put the startup options for vnc in, it will get executed at startup
[00:25] <phong_> put the path to it?
[00:25] <ikonia> phong_: that works,
[00:25] <phong_> oh
[00:25] <phong_> ok thanks
[00:26] <billybigrigger> where is epiphany's plugin dir? ie for libflashplugin.so
[00:26] <rampage73> anyone here know how to rotate the touch input on an acer iconia tablet? xrandr works for everything but the touch screen
[00:26] <Stanley00> billybigrigger: try locate libflashplugin.so
[00:26] <ry> is there anything better for a "remote" linux desktop session than vnc?
[00:26] <xangua> billybigrigger: you can install flashplayer from repositories
[00:27] <rampage73> ry, nx? or nomachine
[00:27] <edbian> ry: ssh (but it's command line)
[00:27] <billybigrigger> ya i dont want to
[00:27] <mr-smile> hi alll!
[00:27] <rampage73> ry, nx uses ssh but is graphical
[00:28] <edbian> ry: ssh -X is ssh but graphical
[00:28] <Yngvi> are you from guys?
[00:30] <edbian> Yngvi: I am from a man and a women
[00:30] <rampage73> edbian, good one! lol
[00:30] <Yngvi> haha
[00:30] <edbian> :P
[00:30] <Yngvi> uhsauhsa
[00:31] <tanath> anyone know how to determine which process a window belongs to? i got an error that says "error reading pidfile!" but i don't know what it's from.
[00:32] <edbian> tanath: Where did you read this error?
[00:32] <tanath> edbian, popup error
[00:32] <edbian> tanath: Mhmmm, Kill some processes that you suspect might be it and wait to see if it closes
[00:32] <tanath> edbian, i have no suspects
[00:32] <edbian> tanath: What are you running?  Nothing?
[00:32] <tanath> edbian, popped up on login
[00:33] <tanath> edbian, only other clue is that gnome-settings-daemon isn't working
[00:34] <tanath> edbian, i suppose it could be that, but how can i determine if that's the case? there must be some way to determine which process a window belongs to
[00:34] <edbian> tanath: strange...
[00:34] <Yngvi> Qual distribuição vocẽs usam?
[00:34] <edbian> tanath: you can start killing processes (listed in ps -e) and see which one makes the window disappear
[00:35] <jmsfnch> .
[00:35] <edbian> tanath: For every processes (with a process id) there is a file that represents that process ID.
[00:35] <tanath> edbian, i killed gnome-settings-daemon (my only suspect) and the window is still there...
[00:36] <edbian> tanath: then IDK :(
[00:36] <tanath> edbian, and now it works, when i rerun it..
[00:36] <jmsfnch> .
[00:36] <vn> hi, if I install Hardy Heron, can I still get packages such as phpmyadmin?  would it be only the most up to date version or I could get any? I'd need PMA 3.x before 3.1
[00:37] <ry> would be nice if they made a vmware view agent for linux/unix
[00:38] <sickn3ss> Quick question, after I launch the Unity interface I still have the lower bar from Gnome, the one with the workspace switcher,etc.
[00:38] <tanath> i just lost my mouse for some reason... anyone know how to fix?
[00:38] <ry> so what kind of setup is required on either end to use ssh -X, and how does that compare to this "NX" .. and does NX refer to the "nomachine.com" software?
[00:38] <sickn3ss> how can I get rid of that except deleting it ?
[00:38] <ChogyDan> vn: hardy heron is out of support.  It isn't updated anymore
[00:38] <sickn3ss> ChogyDan, I use Ubuntu 11.03
[00:38] <sickn3ss> 04*
[00:38] <sickn3ss> I just tried the Ubuntu "Classic" than came to Unity
[00:38] <vn> ChogyDan: that's why I want it, it'd hold the package version I need
[00:39] <tanath> is there something i can restart to possibly restore mouse control?
[00:41] <ChogyDan> !eol | vn this might help you locate the old repos
[00:41] <ChogyDan> vn: the link about upgrades
[00:41] <ChogyDan> vn: but you may want to just download the version you need from the website or something
[00:43] <slide> How do I tell if a mount as been remounted ro after an error?
[00:43] <vn> ChogyDan: thanks
[00:44] <ionite> how can i install plasma netbook KDE?
[00:44] <vn> slide: maybe mount -l?
[00:44] <slide> vn, it just shows the settings, "/dev/sdc1 on /mnt/Movies-02 type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)"
[00:45] <slide> but not whether it actually was remounted ro
[00:45] <slide> hrm
[00:45] <phong_> ikonia, i got it to work
[00:45] <phong_> acutuall it is in the syyyyyyyyyystem menu

[00:47] <Gwildor> hi guys, just wondering what are the chances of me getting exchange going on evolution.... all the forum posts im bringing up are from 2007
[00:47] <ionite> xangua: i'm now on SC4.7 how do i select netbook mode?
[00:47] <xangua> ionite: that is something you should ask a kde user, nor a useless gnome user like me ;)
[00:47] <xangua> #kubuntu may helṕ
[00:47] <slide> vn, thanks yea thats why i wanted to know because i was getting errors trying to write saying it was read only =\
[00:48] <slide> just looked in syslog and see a bunch of io errors
[00:48] <xangua> Gwildor: probably 0% or less; at least i couldn't
[00:48] <BrandonBolton> Hello all, has anyone managed to get Netflix to work on Ubuntu?
[00:49] <Gwildor> xangua, what i thought....all i really want is a 'real' terminal :(
[00:49] <Gwildor> xangua, guess ill keep loading vmware just to access a terminal
[00:50] <jmsfnch> Gwildor: If you can hit your exchange account with OWA, you may be able to get it going on evolution. I managed it (somehow.... :S)
[00:50] <hemiweiser> I have a question, I am trying to use ndiswrapper to install a new driver for my intel ultimate n wifi link 5300 but my chipset doesnt match up with the one on the webpage I am looking at.  Does anyone know how to to this?
[00:50] <Gwildor> jmsfnch, yeah, im reading now about some MAPI plugins.
[00:51] <kat> #ubuntu-us-az
[00:51] <jmsfnch> Gwildor: It's a messy game even with a windows box!
[00:51] <Gwildor> hear hear!
[00:54] <dooglus> does the mic work in flash for anyone?
[00:55] <ionite> xangua: what's the primary difference between gnome and kde?
[00:55] <xangua> aaah....all the ui¿
[00:56] <IdleOne> the primary difference is that they are different also this is not the proper channel to ask in.
[00:56] <dooglus> typically KDE has a lot of configurable options, whereas GNOME treats you like a child and gives you the settings it knows are best for you
[00:56] <IdleOne> see !ot
[00:57] <BrandonBolton> ionite: That is like asking what is the different between English and Russian. It is different layouts and such.
[00:57] <dooglus> BrandonBolton: and the 'R's are backwards
[00:57] <ionite> BrandonBolton: but gnome is said to be more restrictive?
[00:57] <IdleOne> !ot
[00:58] <BrandonBolton> dooglus: Plus, a little thing called Russian Reversal ;) ionite: That is true, Ubuntu in my opinion is child proof. That is why people say it is more user friendly.
[00:59] <zetec452> Hey, anyone tried out Ubuntu 11.10 yet?
[01:00] <BrandonBolton> zetec452: It formatted my hard drive when I tried to upgrade to it.
[01:00] <rww> zetec452: #ubuntu+1 for stuff about oneiric :)
[01:00] <F1skr> does anybody have an idea of where XChat stores configuration?
[01:00] <wsbl-uhpd651> zetec452: Have they worked out all the bugs yet with 11.10?  If not, better to wait until they do ...
[01:01] <IdleOne> F1skr: ~/.xchat2
[01:01] <Dr_Willis> you never work out all the bugs.. :)
[01:01] <F1skr> thanks
[01:02] <zetec452> For a alpha build it seems solid. Upgraded my laptop from 11.04 to 11.10 and everything is running ok.
[01:02] <zetec452> GUI seems a little snappier too.
[01:02] <test34> ubuntu erased one of my partition when I rebooted.. I had the encrypted swap and one of my drive switch from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb and it started to use a data partition as a swap partition even if the partition type was not swap...
[01:02] <IdleOne> zetec452: discussion and some support for 11.10 is in #ubuntu+1
[01:02] <zetec452> Oh, ok. Cheers. I'll hop over there.
[01:03] <Schala> Next month I'm gonna miss the classic theme.... Unity's launcher is very inefficient right now in Natty
[01:03] <Schala> and the mac-like menu bars
[01:04] <tensorpudding> Schala: inefficient how?
[01:05] <tensorpudding> when you know what you're looking for, it's even easier to find than before
[01:05] <Dr_Willis> i just use one of the classic type gnome menu indicator-applets or tools :)
[01:05] <Schala> well before going back to classic I found myself having to type in search for apps I wanted to use, and I really hate pinning stuff to launchers... especially this one because it gives invisible icons when I try it
[01:06] <jmsfnch> When you don't know what you're looking for, it can be a bit of a mind game...
[01:06] <Dr_Willis> some apps launch oddly. so dont pin very well.
[01:06] <tensorpudding> it's not a mind game
[01:06] <Dr_Willis> noticed that with some java apps
[01:06] <tensorpudding> it's just a bit more clicking
[01:06] <Schala> funny... I'd assume this would make it easier
[01:07] <wsbl-uhpd651> I was wondering if someone could help me configure a 16GB thumb drive that I have been having issues with.  It's a PNY flash drive.  I can't copy-and-paste or save anything to it.  I don't think owner permissions for it are set.  How do I change this?
[01:07] <Dr_Willis> wsbl-uhpd651:  what filesystem is on the thumbdrive?
[01:07] <Schala> for me it just seems Unity did to Ubuntu what the Ribbon did to Windows menu bars
[01:08] <zykotick9> Schala, i like that analogy BUT your feelings about Unity or OT in this channel
[01:08] <Schala> ok
[01:08] <Schala> sorry
[01:09] <Schala> will there be like a Gnubuntu or something when Unity takes over entirely?
[01:09] <Schala> for GNOME stuff?
[01:09] <Dr_Willis> unity runs on top of gnome...
[01:09] <th0r> Schala: I would expect xubuntu and lubuntu to continue, and you will probably be able to install gnome off them from the repos
[01:10] <Schala> hmm... well then will 11.10 allow disability of unity?
[01:10] <ChogyDan> Schala: there was a project for that on launchpad, but I dont know if it will gain traction
[01:10] <Schala> hmm
[01:10] <zykotick9> Schala, 11.10 won't have classic
[01:10] <Dr_Willis> Schala:  just selet somthing else at the Login screen.  one you instll somthing else. :)
[01:11] <Schala> something else being like... a different theme like KDE/Xfce?
[01:11] <wsbl-uhpd651> Dr_Willis: ext4, which is what is should be (ideally), right?
[01:12] <Dr_Willis> wsbl-uhpd651:  when using ext2.3.4 or other fs that support linux permissions/ownership. you must chown/chmod the files the same asyou would on thehard drive.
[01:12] <Dr_Willis> wsbl-uhpd651:  if your owner cant access the files. fix the ownership or modes.
[01:14] <Schala> Dr_Willis: do you mean like KDE or Xfce?
[01:15] <maheshk> Hi all, meld is opening only when I use sudo with it. Why is that?
[01:16] <CheckMate21> Has anyone noticed that Firefox 6.0.2 locks up on facebook when using the new facebook status "where are you" feature? I am using Ubuntu as my operating system
[01:17] <Dr_Willis> Schala:  or xfce, or windowmaker, or roll your own desktop as you want by making a custome .xinitrc or .xsession :)
[01:18] <Dr_Willis> Schala:  thers dozens of window managers out there. :)  and dozens of file managers.  and... so on.
[01:18] <Schala> I'd probably mess that up heh
[01:18] <Dr_Willis> trivial to do once you learn the basics
[01:18] <xangua> CheckMate21: i just saw a tweet about facebook sucking in chrome too
[01:18] <Schala> I don't even know how to modify permissions for /var/www so I can put my web server to use
[01:19] <Dr_Willis> Schala:  short answer for that is.. you dont.  You use the groups feature to add the users you need to the right group to have permissions to alter those files
[01:19] <CheckMate21> xangua: this feature seems to be ok in Chrome oddly enough
[01:19] <Schala> hm ok
[01:19] <Schala> via properties?
[01:19] <Dr_Willis> I see this 'how to i write to www' asked in here every so often. theres got go be  some info on it at the askubuntu.com and forums.
[01:20] <Dr_Willis> !groups
[01:20] <Dr_Willis> properties? err. no
[01:20] <Dr_Willis> !permissions
[01:20] <CheckMate21> xangua: you would think they are suing the same java codebase...which I am thinking the problem the problem is in java
[01:24] <silverarrow> anyone clever with update manager?

[01:38] <princej88> is there a channel on freenode where someone can answer questions about network switches. Never used one before.
[01:39] <HisRoyalFreshnes> Huge question
[01:39] <rww> princej88: try ##networking
[01:39] <princej88> aha thanks.
[01:39] <BrandonBolton> HisRoyalFreshnes: What is your question?
[01:39] <HisRoyalFreshnes> It's all here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1840020
[01:40] <princej88> okay so my router is running out of ports on the back and I have gotten a cheap five port switch.
[01:40] <princej88> Lets say I connect two servers to this switch. How would the ip addresses work for accessing each seperate one.
[01:41] <princej88> like if I wanted to ssh into each server.
[01:41] <soreau> princej88: I thought you were going to ask in ##networking..
[01:41] <xangua> HisRoyalFreshnes: how about you uninstall it then
[01:41] <princej88> well one guy said ask. nevermind. off to ##networking
[01:41] <HisRoyalFreshnes> I'd love to
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> princej88:  each machine gets its own ip. same as if they were connected to the router..
[01:41] <HisRoyalFreshnes> If you could tell me how, I'll do it
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> the switch dosent matter,
[01:42] <znh> princej88, the router has a built in switch by adding a switch you have two :)
[01:42] <soreau> princej88: Yea the switch should be transparent once you have everything connected correctly
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> HisRoyalFreshnes:  at least summarize the problem.
[01:42] <princej88> Thanks @Dr_Willis . Let say I was port forwarding the port that the switch was connected to on the router. That should still work right?
[01:42] <HisRoyalFreshnes> Dr_Willis: I lost most sound since installing ALSA via a script I found on the Ubuntu forum.
[01:43] <soreau> princej88: yes
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> princej88:  port forwarding goes to the ip# - the network hardware shouldent matter.
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> wireless, wired, whatever...
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> it should all be transparent to the software
[01:43] <barata> gnome-sudoku's very-hard-level contains errors that make some of its puzzle unsolvable

[01:54] <ikonia> bobweaver: if you say the persons name, and then give info, as I'm doing now, it's clear who it's for
[01:54] <ikonia> bobweaver: don't need this <----------------------- read this
[01:54] <HisRoyalFreshnes>  bobweaver the guy's suggesting I kill puseaudio, right?  The problems started when I installed ALSA via a script I found on the forum, so I'm thinking that killing ALSA would be more helpful
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> pulse audio runs on top of alsa.
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> Killing alsa = no sound.
[01:55] <Schala> I think starting with 11.10 I'll use Kubuntu
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> HisRoyalFreshnes:  why did you mess with alsa in the first place?
[01:55] <HisRoyalFreshnes> All I know is that it started with ALSA
[01:55] <xangua> HisRoyalFreshnes: following ghides from 3 years ago is never any good
[01:55] <xangua> guides*
[01:56] <HisRoyalFreshnes> Dr_Willis: trying to get pSX working, it's part of what it demands I have
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> even guides written for an earlier release is not a good idea.
[01:56] <HisRoyalFreshnes> I'm on PCXR now though, so that's not necessary
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> HisRoyalFreshnes:  alsa is allready there by default..  so the whole things sounds odd...
[01:56] <HisRoyalFreshnes> Would it help if I showed you where I got the script from?
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> that script could have done all sorts of weird things. best bet would be to reinstall.  unless the script has some sort of undo option.
[01:57] <HisRoyalFreshnes> You mean a complete wipe?
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> you can always keep your home somewhere...
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> reinstall = reinstall the os...
[01:58] <bobweaver> what about adding the repo that action partnership wrote about ?
[01:58] <HisRoyalFreshnes> It'd format before reinstalling, right?
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> HisRoyalFreshnes:  yes.. thts normally how its done.
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> one of the many reasons to keep /home/ on its own partition. makes reinstalling easier.
[01:59] <HisRoyalFreshnes> Well mother fuck
[01:59] <IdleOne> !language | HisRoyalFreshnes
[02:00] <tx3> but im having trouble installing ubuntu.. it seems to lockup at the keyboard layout screen
[02:00] <HisRoyalFreshnes> Do you know how hard it is to start up Ubuntu as a Linux nub?
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> Its possible you might be able to fix your alsa issues.. but i doubt if anyone is going to spend a lot of time debugging what that scropt might have done..
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> HisRoyalFreshnes:  rather trivial really...
[02:00] <HisRoyalFreshnes> Maybe to you
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> you are a 'nub' but you decided to use some script to alter a core part of the OS...
[02:00] <HisRoyalFreshnes> Touche
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> you see the irony in that statement. :)
[02:01] <IdleOne> HisRoyalFreshnes: you made a rookie mistake, it happens.
[02:01] <HisRoyalFreshnes> Not irony, niavette
[02:01] <HisRoyalFreshnes> sp
[02:01] <tx3> anyone?
[02:01] <bsmith093> is there a way to check for personal info in my packet stream off my router using wireshark, or are packets unreadable to humans?
[02:01] <bobweaver> tx3: you check md5sum ?
[02:02] <tx3> ill double check
[02:02] <stephenmac7> Hello.

[02:02] <stephenmac7> I tried recreating it
[02:03] <HisRoyalFreshnes> Dr_Willis: it's been suggested to me that I remove pulseaudio
[02:03] <HisRoyalFreshnes> Worth a shot?
[02:03] <stephenmac7> I tried apt-get clean
[02:03] <OT_iux> hi everybody.... I've got a strange problem... I received a BMP file size about 14GiB, but my system memory is about 2GiB... is there any method that I can open ( or check part of) this file?
[02:03] <stephenmac7> I tried mv /var/lib/dpkg/sources-old /var/lib/dpkg/sources
[02:04] <tx3> bobweaver: the checksum was ok
[02:04] <bobweaver> arghh
[02:04] <tx3> i know, thats how i feel.. lol
[02:04] <bobweaver> :)
[02:04] <stephenmac7> Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
[02:05] <ChogyDan> stephenmac7: sudo dpkg --configure -a      ?
[02:05] <bobweaver> tx3: you try to reinstall ubiquity >
[02:05] <bobweaver> dont know if that will help ?
[02:05] <bobweaver> usb or cd tx3?
[02:05] <tx3> usb
[02:06] <tx3> im trying a different image make..
[02:06] <tx3> unetbootin
[02:06] <OT_iux> hi everybody.... I've got a strange problem... I received a BMP file size about 14GiB (satellile map), but my system memory is about 2GiB... is there any method that I can open ( or check part of) this file?
[02:06] <hemiweiser> Can anyone help me, I am trying to figure out why my wifi connection is so much slower on ubuntu compared to windows.
[02:06] <stephenmac7> ChogyDan: I think, in my hurry to fix it I destroyed sudo
[02:07] <bobweaver> hemiweiser: paste.ubuntu.com <- terminal <- lspci -nn
[02:07] <speedxcore> Hi, I'm looking for a good ftp-client?
[02:07] <stephenmac7> Nevermind... I think I destroyed the whole filesystem
[02:08] <infobit> speedxcore, filezilla is goodone
[02:08] <stephenmac7> I'm going to reboot
[02:09] <hemiweiser> okay bobweaver it might take a while im on wifi right now, I can connect to a cord if i have to
[02:09] <bobweaver> hemiweiser: sounds like a plan :)
[02:09] <infobit> speedxcore, here is the link http://filezilla-project.org/
[02:10] <speedxcore> infobit: Thank you, any other good options?
[02:10] <hemiweiser> bobweaver:  here is the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/684899/
[02:12] <sparc> Can I sign someone else's debs for them, if they havn't?
[02:12] <qin> OT_iux: imagemagick can cut or shrink it, it just will take more time.
[02:12] <sparc> and import the public key somewhere
[02:13] <infobit> speedxcore, here is the link for more http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-ftp-clients-available-in-ubuntu-linux.html but i feel filezilla is all you need
[02:13] <bobweaver> hemiweiser:  I see this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/621265
[02:13] <wsbl-uhpd651> Dr_Wilis is no longer on here.   So can anyone help me change the ownership of my flash drive?  I enter "chown root ..." and then WHAT after root - to indicate / point to the flash drive?
[02:14] <bobweaver> but that is a year old
[02:15] <stephenmac7> Okay... I fixed that sidetrack...
[02:15] <hemiweiser> ok im trying to load the webpage, im about to go plug in my ethernet soon
[02:15] <stephenmac7> The output of dpkg --configure -a:
[02:15] <stephenmac7> dpkg: error: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' for reading: No such file or directory
[02:16] <OT_iux> qin: thank you... is that imagemagick same as the imagemagick window which pops when I type "display bigfile.bmp“ in x-terminal-emulator ?
[02:16] <matt__> hello, I have a simple question
[02:17] <qin> wsbl-uhpd651: sudo fdisk -l, use mount point, not /dev/sdb to chmod
[02:17] <stephenmac7> matt__ Ask away
[02:17] <hemiweiser> bobweaver: this only pertains to wifi right? because when I hook it up via an ethernet cord it works fine
[02:17] <bobweaver> yep \
[02:18] <matt__> Are there any problems with burning ubuntu to a DVD instead of a cd?
[02:18] <hemiweiser> okay thank you
[02:18] <Jordan_U> matt__: No.
[02:18] <IdleOne> matt__: besides the waste of space no
[02:18] <bobweaver> hemiweiser: look at post 250
[02:18] <hemiweiser> okay
[02:19] <UMT-Jose> TIRED OF NIGGERS?
[02:19] <UMT-Jose> SICK OF THEIR MONKEYSHINES?
[02:19] <FloodBot1> UMT-Jose: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:19] <qin> OT_iux: Yes, i think display is part of imagemagick: http://www.imagemagick.org
[02:19] <matt__> Ok well I tried to burn a .iso to a DVD under Windows 7, and it said it burnt successfully but the cd didn't show up in the boot menu of my computer.
[02:19] <urlin2u> matt__, burnt as an image?
[02:19] <stephenmac7> matt__: With windows 7 or for windows 7?
[02:20] <matt__> with windows 7. and I burnt the .iso on the disc
[02:20] <stephenmac7> I'm still having issues with dpkg and would appreciate help
[02:20] <stephenmac7> Still
[02:20] <matt__> Specifically, I right clicked on the .iso file and clicked "Burn to Disc."
[02:20] <stephenmac7> waiting
[02:21] <stephenmac7> In windows 7 on in ubuntu?
[02:21] <stephenmac7> You said 'under Windows 7'
[02:21] <matt__> In windows 7.
[02:21] <stephenmac7> Oh, I see.
[02:21] <qin> OT_iux: There is also feh, it is easier, but somehow limited.
[02:21] <stephenmac7> matt__: Are you sure your drive can burn DVDs
[02:22] <matt__> Yeah. Im positive.
[02:22] <urlin2u> matt__, did you try a f12 tapping at poweing on to get a boot from menu?
[02:22] <urlin2u> powering
[02:22] <hemiweiser> bobweaver: i click the link and all it does is bring me to a picture, i click the picture and it just brings me back to the redhate webpage.  Should i search for the file the link is refering to?
[02:22] <bobweaver> hemiweiser: yes
[02:22] <matt__> Yeah, I can get to the boot menu of my motherboard. But the only option there is Windows 7 (the disc isn't there)
[02:22] <bobweaver> hemiweiser: looks like alot of people have fixed with that
[02:23] <stephenmac7> urlin2u: Are you sure your computer supports boot from DVD?
[02:23] <stephenmac7> err
[02:23] <hemiweiser> awesome, thank you much
[02:23] <stephenmac7> That was for matt__
[02:23] <urlin2u> lol
[02:23] <bobweaver> hemiweiser: also see post 265
[02:23] <matt__> I don't know, it's a Mac -_-
[02:23] <stephenmac7> Hold down 'c' when booting
[02:23] <matt__> tried that.
[02:24] <stephenmac7> Do you have rEFIt?
[02:24] <Jordan_U> matt__: Next time start with that information, they tend to be odd. There is a +mac iso specifically for intel macs.
[02:24] <matt__> That works with the official OSX install cd but not with the ubuntu one
[02:24] <hemiweiser> bobweaver: I have also been looking at this 3 page forum, do you believe this could fix it as well?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1756096&page=2
[02:24] <bobweaver> hemiweiser: uname -a and also what ubuntu ?
[02:24] <OT_iux> qin: feh shows :
[02:24] <hemiweiser> 11.04
[02:24] <OT_iux> $ feh bigmap.bmp
[02:24] <OT_iux> feh WARNING: couldn't open bigmap.bmp
[02:24] <OT_iux> feh - No loadable images specified.
[02:24] <matt__> @Jordan Sorry, will do. and @stephen yeah i've got refit installed
[02:24] <stephenmac7> matt__: 'c' or rEFIt?
[02:24] <bobweaver> hemiweiser:  I will look
[02:25] <stephenmac7> Jordan_U: Well, I have successfully used an AMD64 iso (regular) CD (not DVD) on a MAC
[02:25] <stephenmac7> using rEFIt
[02:25] <bobweaver> hemiweiser: chilli55 is a friend of mine and that is one smart dude when it comes to wireless
[02:25] <matt__> @stephen: I've got refit on here. Holding down alt or c does nothing
[02:26] <matt__> actually, I worded that wrong.
[02:26] <hemiweiser> okay awesome, i was trying to download it but my wifi was terrible, should i pase uname -a in pastebin?
[02:26] <stephenmac7> matt__: What are the options there in rEFIt?
[02:26] <matt__> Just booting into OSX
[02:26] <stephenmac7> matt__: Is your mac oldish or new?
[02:26] <matt__> new
[02:26] <bobweaver> g5 ?
[02:26] <bobweaver> ibook ?
[02:26] <Jordan_U> stephenmac7: It will fail with the normal Ubuntu iso because the normal Ubuntu iso has EFI support (yes, I said exactly what I meant): http://askubuntu.com/questions/37999/what-is-different-about-the-mac-iso-image
[02:26] <stephenmac7> Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger, or Panther
[02:27] <matt__> that's pretty strange
[02:27] <stephenmac7> Jordan_U: It didn't for me... iMac + Leopard
[02:27] <stephenmac7> ...or Lion
[02:27] <matt__> but the thing is I tried to put the DVD with the *standard* ubuntu .iso in my desktop (which is a regular pc) and it still didn't work
[02:28] <bobweaver> matt__: slow down dont panic
[02:28] <stephenmac7> bobweaver: He shows no sign of panic :D
[02:28] <Jordan_U> stephenmac7: Interesting. That would be good information for the Ubuntu developers to know. Is it a relatively new mac? What version of Ubuntu?
[02:28] <stephenmac7> matt__: You didn't answer my question: What model and what OS?
[02:29] <matt__> @Stephen: Sorry. It's a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard. So basically brand new.
[02:29] <stephenmac7> Jordan_U: iMac... not sure what exact generation/model and Ubuntu 11.04 (UNITY)
[02:29] <Jordan_U> matt__: Did you burn the iso as am image or did you just burn a DVD with the .iso file as a file on that DVD?
[02:29] <jmsfnch> OT_iux: Have you tried slicing the file up? "head -c 10000 file > shortfile" and opening the smaller of the two?
[02:29] <matt__> @Jordan: I just put the .iso as a file on the dvd
[02:29] <bobweaver> matt__:  this is what I do when a cd wont work.make sure I an downloading the right version   look at md5sum # make sure it is good then burn a new one at slower speeds
[02:29] <stephenmac7> matt__: Have you tried your DVD on a regular computer?
[02:29] <Jordan_U> matt__: That's not the proper way to make a bootable CD.
[02:30] <matt__> @stephen yeah it didn't work, and I think jordan figured it out
[02:30] <OT_iux> jmsfnch: thank you, i'm now trying that...
[02:30] <Jordan_U> matt__: Follow the instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[02:30] <stephenmac7> matt__: It's done in the mac :)
[02:31] <bobweaver> matt__:  also with what everyone else is saying it is also good to look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[02:31] <Jordan_U> matt__: And use this iso (If you want Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit): http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64+mac.iso
[02:31] <stephenmac7> matt__: I forgot you created your DVD/CD in Windows 7. Also, it would be nice if you stayed consistant about DVD and CD
[02:31] <matt__> Will do.
[02:32] <stephenmac7> matt__: Well, good luck.
[02:32] <stephenmac7> matt__: I was about to say it could have been a problem of the usage of the CD
[02:32] <stephenmac7> *DVD
[02:32] <matt__> @Jordan: Thanks, I feel like an idiot.  One of the most recommended ways (That I have found) to run Linux is mac is to use boot camp... even though it's for windows...
[02:35] <stephenmac7> Now! Onto my problems.
[02:35] <stephenmac7> :D
[02:37] <snuxoll> h00k: you alive?
[02:37] <h00k> snuxoll: yep. hello.
[02:37] <mssever> stephenmac7: For those who just arrived, cold you describe your problems?
[02:37] <Jordan_U> macode1: stephenmac7: I would actually recommend against boot camp, it is not needed and creates ugly "hybrid mbr"s (which would be needed for Windows but aren't for Ubuntu and just make life difficult).
[02:37] <snuxoll> h00k: could you whitelist me, evilGUI and a friend on your mc server?
[02:37] <urlin2u> stephen123, try sudo apt-get -f install
[02:37] <OT_iux> jmsfnch,qin: thank you for your help... it might be impossible cause my memory is not enough... i thought i have to give up
[02:38] <stephenmac7> urlin2u: Are you talking to me?
[02:38] <kapipi> Should there be any visible sign of U1 bookmark sync running? I have it installed and set up but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.
[02:38] <stephenmac7> urlin2u: I'm not trying to install a package
[02:38] <stephenmac7> I never _didn't_ have the problenm
[02:38] <stephenmac7> Therefore I have no backups
[02:38] <bobweaver> stephenmac7:  dpkg is broken ?
[02:38] <urlin2u> stephen123, you ran dpkg --configure -a right
[02:39] <stephenmac7> bobweaver: Yes, it is.
[02:39] <stephenmac7> bobweaver: Since installation, that is
[02:39] <bobweaver> deselect update     ?
[02:39] <stephenmac7> urlin2u: Tried:
[02:39] <stephenmac7> dpkg: error: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' for reading: No such file or directory
[02:40] <urlin2u> stephen123, you might have stuck install pkgs try it.
[02:40] <stephenmac7> ls: cannot access /var/lib/dpkg/status: No such file or directory
[02:40] <stephenmac7> urlin2u: What?
[02:41] <urlin2u> stephen123, did you sudo the first command
[02:43] <urlin2u> mv, have you been able to any updates since the install?
[02:43] <urlin2u> do*
[02:43] <jmsfnch> OT_iux: What exactly are you trying to achieve?
[02:44] <bobweaver> stephenmac7_:  you try to reinstall is that an option ? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/dpkg/master/files/head:/debian/
[02:45] <stephenmac7_> bobweaver: It seems that I have missed a bit
[02:45] <stephenmac7_> My internet went out
[02:45] <stephenmac7_> Did you post anything since I asked: sudo dpkg --configure -a?
[02:46] <kv> -n nickky
[02:46] <bobweaver> stephenmac7_: sudo deselect update
[02:46] <stephenmac7_> bobweaver: Reinstall the whole OS?

[02:46] <bobweaver> no

[02:47] <rectec794613> Long poste incoming ;)
[02:47] <rectec794613> I got a real problem here guys. Hopefully the solution is just as real. I was changing some settings with the pulsaudio equalizer like I always do. But this time when I changed it, the audio completely stopped. The icon is gone from the tray, and when I try to go to sound preferences, it tells me "Waiting for sound system to respond". I've reinstalled both pulseaudio and the equalizer, and...

[02:50] <bobweaver> stephenmac7_: do you have to install deselect ?
[02:50] <stephenmac7_> bobweaver: It seems

[02:50] <urlin2u> rectec794613, you read both links in 1 min.
[02:50] <rectec794613> urlin2u: it would be nice if you could give me a specific page with the same issue and solution as the one i'm having
[02:50] <thevinci> excuse me, I'm looking for some help updating GRUB to GRUB2
[02:50] <stephenmac7_> Back to good old compile :)
[02:50] <stephenmac7_> ...or I could reinstall the whole OS
[02:51] <urlin2u> rectec794613, that would be nice now wouldn't it.
[02:51] <bobweaver> stephenmac7_: or replace dpkg ?
[02:51] <stephenmac7_> bobweaver: How?
[02:51] <rectec794613> urlin2u: I skimmed. don't blame me, I have no idea what my problem is
[02:51] <urlin2u> rectec794613, what makes you think IO know one beyond the bots suggestions
[02:51] <thevinci> I've gotten as far as installing GRUB2 and it will chainload from GRUB to GRUB2
[02:51] <stephenmac7_> bobweaver: This is for someone else, not me.
[02:51] <stephenmac7_> bobweaver: This computer is NOT mine
[02:51] <bobweaver> oh
[02:51] <thevinci> but I want to get rid of GRUB(1) alltogether
[02:52] <bobweaver> stephenmac7_: clients ?
[02:52] <urlin2u> thevinci, whats the OS?
[02:52] <thevinci> Ubuntu Hardy Heron
[02:52] <stephenmac7_> It needs to run smoothly or the person I'm doing it for (No, relatives) will hate linux, for he is already skeptical
[02:52] <thevinci> I've tried the command 'update-from-grub-legacy'
[02:52] <urlin2u> thevinci, end of life a waste of time unless that is your only choice.

[02:53] <stephenmac7_> bobweaver: You want me to install it from source?
[02:53] <thevinci> I'm on an old a$$ laptop though
[02:53] <rectec794613> urlin2u: no offense, but could you please assist me in troubleshooting this so I can find out what page I need to devote my time to, instead of sending me generic sound troubleshooting links?
[02:53] <bobweaver> placer14:  rfkill unblock all
[02:53] <bobweaver> stephenmac7_: if need be
[02:53] <placer14> bobweaver: Note that it had b43 and ssd loaded before I loaded ndiswrapper
[02:53] <stephenmac7_> I think it would be easier to reinstall ubuntu
[02:54] <placer14> bobweaver: Done. Should I reload b43 and ssd?
[02:54] <urlin2u> rectec794613, demanding from a user who has stated they don't know makes no sense.
[02:54] <thevinci> I had lucid on here for a little while, but it was pretty slow
[02:54] <bobweaver> placer14:  sudo apt-get install b43fwcutter firware-b43-installer
[02:55] <bobweaver> placer14: sudo rmmod ndiswrapper
[02:55] <thevinci> and I've tried updating from 8.04 to 8.10, but it can't find the server, can I skip 8.10 and jump right to 9.04?
[02:55] <thevinci> without a fresh install?
[02:55] <IdleOne> !eol
[02:55] <bobweaver> then  sudo modprobe b43
[02:55] <stephenmac7> Did someone say something?
[02:55] <urlin2u> rectec794613, took you a min tolook at the links chill out and adjust your attitude.
[02:55] <IdleOne> thevinci: you want to read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[02:56] <placer14> bobweaver: Verify you meant sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
[02:56] <stephenmac7> internet went out again...
[02:56] <IdleOne> thevinci: never mind me.
[02:56] <rectec794613> urlin2u: I'm lost.
[02:56] <thevinci> thanks IdleOne, i've been there before though
[02:56] <rectec794613> urlin2u: my sound just quit for no reason, this has never happened to me before.
[02:56] <thevinci> i can't remember the specific error I get though
[02:57] <IdleOne> thevinci: you can go from 8.04 to 10.04 LTS TO LTS
[02:57] <stephenmac7> bobweaver: I think I'll reinstall
[02:57] <urlin2u> rectec794613, I have never had a sound problem, so I have no answers.
[02:57] <stephenmac7> I'll tell you what happens
[02:57] <stephenmac7> exit
[02:58] <thevinci> IdleOne: I'm just worried that my little Presario won't be able to handle 10.04
[02:58] <IdleOne> thevinci: why wouldn't it?
[02:58] <thevinci> Cuz its an old laptop?
[02:58] <m4xx__> any ltsp folks in the house?
[02:58] <blsh0p> is there a program that will let me download windows programs
[02:58] <blsh0p> i want to download alice for ubuntu
[02:58] <blsh0p> how would i go about doing this
[02:59] <IdleOne> thevinci: ok, so no fancy 3d stuff but it should run fine
[02:59] <thevinci> IdleOne: My buddy convinced me that my laptop was running slow before (on 9.04) because it was a recent distro
[02:59] <thevinci> so I dropped down to hardy
[03:00] <m4xx__> i've got a full install in a chroot, when i run startx inside the chroot it doesn't capture the keyboard and mouse any ideas how i can achieve this?
[03:01] <thevinci> IdleOne: But what you seem to be hinting at is that the release version won't make it run slower unless I have uber fancy compiz settings?
[03:01] <rectec794613> well can somebody read this pastebin and tell me what they think? http://paste.ubuntu.com/684919/
[03:01] <IdleOne> thevinci: might be time to do a clean install, look into Lubuntu it is made for low power machines.
[03:01] <blsh0p> is there a program for being able to download windows programs for ubuntu?
[03:01] <blsh0p> i want to download alice for ubuntu, what prgram would allow me to do tha
[03:01] <thevinci> 8.04 was a clean install.
[03:01] <rectec794613> all of these troubleshooting reccomendation imply that sound was never working before, but it was indeed working fine 10 minutes ago
[03:02] <IdleOne> thevinci: right, all the effects will slow it down but the default install shouldn't make it slower
[03:02] <thevinci> blsh0p: look for Wine
[03:02] <rectec794613> recommendations*
[03:02] <thevinci> IdleOne: hmmmm.... I always suspected that was the case...
[03:02] <IdleOne> thevinci: maybe look into Lubuntu
[03:03] <thevinci> IdleOne: Does that still use Gnome for a desktop?
[03:03] <thevinci> I could just research it on my own... lol
[03:03] <bobweaver> thevinci: it uses lxde
[03:03] <IdleOne> thevinci: it uses LXDE and yeah :)
[03:04] <bobweaver> debian stays the same forever
[03:04] <bobweaver> ;)
[03:04] <IdleOne> except when it changes
[03:04] <bobweaver> IdleOne:  :)
[03:04] <m4xx__> anyone? :[
[03:04] <rectec794613> well I'll restart again and see if that won't fix it.
[03:05] <thevinci> IdleOne: Ok, yeah, I looked in to LXDE when I had lucid originally, felt too much like being in windows again... >:(
[03:05] <IdleOne> thevinci: unfortunately you have a low powered laptop, some compromises will have to be made.
[03:05] <luc_> hi ndoes anybody know  howto mount a iso image with gmount
[03:06] <Stanley00> luc_: why dont you use mount instead?
[03:06] <thevinci> IdleOne: I know, I know...
[03:06] <luc_> where is that at
[03:07] <Stanley00> luc_: like "mount /path/to/file.iso /mount-point -o loop"
[03:07] <Stanley00> luc_: just make sure you have "-o loop"
[03:08] <luc_> im new to linux
[03:08] <paijem-cantik> i'm too
[03:09] <stevecam> is it possible to have shared desktop icons when virtualizing and also have gnome manage my windows in the virtualizer?
[03:09] <Stanley00> luc_: well, do you know mount command?
[03:09] <luc_> no
[03:09] <rectec794613> no dice
[03:10] <mike18> this could be a terrible place to ask this, but not getting help in #curl or #RubyOnRails... i'm attempt to build a curl command that will POST with json and a file. my command is similar to this: curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://myurl.com -u user:pass -d '{"myjson":"json"}' -F "image=@testimage.jpg;type=image/jpeg" and i'm getting Warning: You can only select one HTTP request!. any ideas? i was able to POST in a similar fashing to a d
[03:10] <Stanley00> luc_: In that case, just right-click on iso file, and choose open with Archieves mounter ;)
[03:11] <thevinci> rectec794623: try looking at your hardware drivers
[03:11] <thevinci> see if there is a restricted driver that got turned off somehow.
[03:11] <m4xx__> ls
[03:12] <placer14> bobweaver: Hey, Bob. Great success!  Just be gracious and accept your appreciation.
[03:13] <bobweaver> placer14: I am
[03:13] <placer14> Much obliged. Any way I can help you?
[03:13] <rectec794613> thevinci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/684935/ everything looks in order. don't know about the "is not ours" thing
[03:13] <bobweaver> I also think that he is a gentelman and a scholar
[03:13] <rectec794613> i can hear this: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
[03:14] <mike18> looks like using curl -F and -d is my problem since they specify different HTTP request types. still trying to figure out how to curl and upload a file and some json data
[03:15] <rectec794613> thevinci: i think it's halfway fixed. I can hear sound again, but I can't change the volume
[03:15] <luc_> ok i tried that and i get a error
[03:15] <bullgard4_> '~$ which phpmyadmin' does not produce any output. What is the phpMyAdmin executable?
[03:15] <datakid> hola, running 10.04.03 am getting errors on apt upgrade on ldap? I've got smbldap set up, error is: Unknown value for slapd/dump_database: when needed
[03:15] <datakid> Please report!
[03:16] <thevinci> rectec794613: I think the 'not ours' bit might mean you're not root? idk, never seen that before
[03:16] <bullgard4_> datakid: What is the exact error message?
[03:16] <bobweaver> datakid: could we see the whole error in ubuntu.paste.com ?
[03:16] <rectec794613> thevinci: idk I ran the command as root
[03:16] <hexacode> hey you guys...i did a sudo apt-get php5 and it says i have the latest one...i did a "service --status-all
[03:17] <rectec794613> thevinci: if theres a certain package for the sound manager I could give a go at reinstalling it
[03:17] <hexacode> and i dont even see it
[03:17] <Stanley00> luc_: hmm, I think you should learn mount command then. can you open the terminal please?
[03:17] <hexacode> how do i mak it run?
[03:17] <hexacode> i dont see it in /etc/init.d either
[03:17] <luc_> ok
[03:17] <thevinci> rectec794613: can u not change volume from the GUI? Do you have buttons on your keyboard for it?
[03:17] <placer14> hexacode: PHP doesn't run as a service.
[03:17] <hexacode> placer14 /etc/init.d
[03:17] <placer14> hexacode: It runs as a module for apache or lighttpd
[03:17] <hexacode> nil
[03:17] <datakid> bobweaver, bullgard4 http://paste.ubuntu.com/684938/
[03:18] <placer14> you would need to install the module for apache or run a script through the interpreter
[03:18] <Stanley00> luc_: now run sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom to create folder /mnt/cdrom
[03:18] <wsbl-uhpd651> qin: so after I run "sudo fdisk -l" in Terminal, what command do I enter in next to "use mount point"
[03:18] <placer14> what does `which php` respond with?
[03:18] <bobweaver> that looks like an install or upgrade
[03:18] <placer14> or do php -v
[03:18] <placer14> and let me know what version you have
[03:18] <rectec794613> thevinci: the keyboard shortcuts don't work anymore, the only options i have when I click on the now-invisible volume icon in the tray are a grayed out "Mute" and sound preferences
[03:18] <Stanley00> luc_: then run sudo mount /path/to/file.iso /mnt/cdrom -o loop
[03:18] <Stanley00> luc_: replace /path/to/file.iso with your own path
[03:19] <thevinci> rectec794613: and what are the preferences?
[03:19] <hexacode> placer14   no response
[03:19] <hexacode> from that which php
[03:19] <fluffy> Hello, I'm looking for some support for a bcm4311
[03:19] <bobweaver> datakid:  that is also not the whole thing are you sure that that is not a install or upgrade ?
[03:19] <bullgard4_> datakid: This is an error, and you should report it to Launchpad.
[03:19] <leftist> how can i switch to mono for vlc anyone?
[03:19] <rectec794613> thevinci: It gives me "Waiting for sound system to respond", remember?
[03:19] <hexacode> also, i did a command line install of mod_php5 but it says its already nstalled and says php 5 is aleady installed
[03:19] <leftist> my plug is screwed
[03:19] <datakid> bobweaver, that's an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
[03:20] <datakid> wihtout the list of packages :)
[03:20] <rectec794613> thevinci: i think alsamixer works
[03:20] <fluffy> Can anyone help out with a wireless problem I'm having
[03:20] <placer14> hexacode: well, if you didn't install a zillion copies, sudo apt-get install php5 should do the trick for you
[03:20] <bobweaver> fluffy:  whats up
[03:20] <urlin2u> fluffy, have you looked here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[03:20] <leftist> anyone tell me how to switch to mono for vlc?
[03:20] <placer14> hexacode: What packages did you isntall via apt-get?
[03:20] <hexacode> placer14 it tells me its the newest version installed already
[03:21] <datakid> bullgard4, ok, tx
[03:21] <rectec794613> oh man busy day
[03:21] <placer14> do "sudo updatedb"
[03:21] <placer14> then "locate php" and see if anything comes out.
[03:21] <hexacode> placer14 php5   and libapache2-mod-php
[03:21] <hexacode> i already have apache going
[03:21] <hexacode> so hats fine
[03:21] <bullgard4_> !deails | fluffy
[03:21] <hexacode> but i cant get php running
[03:21] <bullgard4_> !details | fluffy
[03:22] <rectec794613> fluffy: you also might want to read my tutorial here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1837183
[03:22] <hexacode> there a way to manually execute php placer14 ?
[03:22] <hexacode> just to turn on the php process itself
[03:22] <hexacode> so that apache can start communicating with it
[03:22] <placer14> sure, find where it lives and run it the interpreter directly
[03:22] <fluffy> rectec794613, Does that work with 11.04?
[03:22] <leftist> nobody is using vlc here? what the fuck
[03:22] <hexacode> placer14   that would be a whereis correct?
[03:23] <rectec794613> fluffy: it should. Modules are a kernel-level thing if i'm not mistaken
[03:23] <thevinci> rectec794613: Yeah, try selecting alsamixer. right click on the sound icon in the tray>Open Volume Control>File>Change Device, and select the first one.
[03:23] <thevinci> rectec794613: Unless thats what you have selected now?
[03:23] <hexacode> placer14 im going to try restarting my computer
[03:23] <liran> ?
[03:23] <fluffy> rectec794613, They are. Let me check. I've installed my wireless card on Ubuntu before, but it's just not taking with 11.04
[03:23] <placer14> hexacode: I doubt that will help much...
[03:23] <hexacode> i havent tried that old trick yet lol
[03:23] <hexacode> hmm
[03:23] <liran> 这个是什么？
[03:24] <placer14> if you can't find php, the computer probably won't either.
[03:24] <Stanley00> !cn | liran
[03:24] <cjs> So, I've seen some FF updates to remove some certs from the trusted list, but not updates for Chrome. Why is that? (I'm on 11.04.)
[03:24] <placer14> normally, I just install "phpmyadmin" package and that brings in all the dependancies to make apache configure and operate with PHP
[03:24] <liran> ？？？
[03:24] <fluffy> rectec794613, I'm looking at your page now.
[03:24] <hexacode> placer14 i found it but umm hold on lol
[03:24] <rectec794613> fluffy: well read it carefully, this is only sopposed to work with realtek/ralink cards, but it might work with others. even if it breaks something you can reverse it
[03:24] <thetrav> just made a fresh install of ubuntu 11 desktop, trying to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#Sun_Java to install sun java, but apt-get can't find the package
[03:25] <thetrav> is there another repo I need to add?
[03:25] <fluffy> rectec794613, Mind if I PM you?
[03:25] <rectec794613> fluffy:  go ahead
[03:25] <Stanley00> thetrav: why dont you search for java in Ubuntu Software Center?
[03:25] <urlin2u> wow  bcm4311 and a realtec fix, that will be a miracle.
[03:25] <Stanley00> thetrav: I think it's more easier ;)
[03:26] <rectec794613> you still here thevinci?
[03:26] <thetrav> Stanley00 searchign for java in the software center only provides openJDK
[03:26] <thetrav> I require sun's JDK implementation
[03:27] <thetrav> I was under the impression that the deb installers were available from compatible ubuntu repositories
[03:28] <liran> What do Chinese people have？
[03:28] <urlin2u> liran, what do you mean?
[03:28] <thetrav> has it been renamed to oracle java or something?
[03:28] <placer14> hexacode: Any luck. I'm headed out soon.

[03:35] <michael_p> hi was is a mssh protocol and how do you use it for firefox if i want to listen to a live stream it says mmsh not found
[03:35] <Stanley00> luc_: mount command?
[03:35] <michael_p> what is
[03:36] <tx3> lol its BT5R1...
[03:36] <tx3> its built on ubuntu :)
[03:36] <liran> Oh sorry I did not bother us any problems you continue to explore the issues now Oh I do not bother you!
[03:36] <urlin2u> tx3, we don't support backtrack, basically.
[03:36] <tx3> i know that

[03:40] <luc_> what lines did u tellme some thing else  i get diss connected and had to relog on
[03:41] <Stanley00> luc_: oh, I see, the command to mount your iso is "sudo mount /path/to/file.iso /mount-point -o loop" not "mount command" ;)
[03:42] <Stanley00> luc_: replace /path/to/file.iso and /mount-point with your own path
[03:42] <tx3> bobweaver: do you use blackbuntu?
[03:43] <luc_> what is my own path
[03:43] <Stanley00> luc_: where do you store your iso file?

[03:57] <axi93> I'm looking for a VOIP provider which supports SIP and fax. I want to use an adapter to hook up a traditional fax machine and phone. Does anybody have a suggestion on who to go with?
[03:58] <urlin2u> variable, I see problems with turning it i=odd then back on but Natty supposed works, post 10.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1457349
[03:58] <BakeR> anyone know if theres a key combination to unmount a drive faster?
[03:58] <urlin2u> off*
[03:59] <wsbl-uhpd651> Can anyone help me figure out why I cannot access copy-and-paste and save files to my flash drive.  It is already mounted.  Ubuntu just won't let me access and manipulate files within the drive.
[03:59] <Shortstraw8> I would like to install Vmware. I'm running 10.4 ubuntu and not sure the command from terminal
[03:59] <Stanley00> BakeR: you can make one if you like
[03:59] <wsbl-uhpd651> ????
[03:59] <variable> urlin2u: yes, I found that. My touchpad doesn't turn off because ubuntu does not recognize as a touchpad in the firstplace
[03:59] <Stanley00> BakeR: btw, I prefer right-click ;)
[03:59] <BakeR> How?
[04:00] <urlin2u> wsbl-uhpd651, is it a sd and hve you the switch off?
[04:00] <urlin2u> have*
[04:00] <Stanley00> BakeR: try looking in keyboard shortcut config, I think
[04:00] <wsbl-uhpd651> I've tried "sudo chown root /dev/sdb1" and "sudo chown -hR root /dev/sdb1".  Either one should change ownership and allow me to interact with it normally ...
[04:01] <wsbl-uhpd651> urlin2u: what do you mean by "sd" and "the switch off" ???
[04:01] <yeboot> hi my mic is not working at all
[04:01] <urlin2u> wsbl-uhpd651, gksudo nautilus and change the permission
[04:01] <BakeR> Eject?
[04:01] <urlin2u> wsbl-uhpd651, solid state?
[04:01] <WHAT_UP> would brasero know how to handle burning WMAs to audio CDs correctly?
[04:02] <variable> urlin2u: what does ”i8042.nopnp” do as a linux kernel option. I found it as a possible solution
[04:02] <wsbl-uhpd651> urlin2u: OK.  That makes more sense.  So you were asking if it is was "in solid state"?
[04:02] <urlin2u> wsbl-uhpd651, flash drive is used on thumbs hd's and solid state cards, on this channel at times.
[04:02] <Stanley00> BakeR: eject, or safe to remove, or umount, etc...
[04:03] <phenom> Guys: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/579069
[04:03] <BakeR> Stanley00 Thanks i look into it more later
[04:03] <phenom> That bug report was issued over a year ago, still no fix.
[04:03] <BakeR> cant find unmount in the list
[04:03] <orlok> Ahh, its an X11 driver issue apparently
[04:03] <wsbl-uhpd651> urlin2u: yeah ... it's a thumb drive ... if that answers your question?
[04:03] <BakeR> i think i have to make one some how through that
[04:04] <BakeR> (eject) is for the disk drives
[04:04] <phenom> Where can you go to complain about ubuntu not putting enough time in to fixing bugs it produces with every release?
[04:04] <wsbl-uhpd651> urlin2u: I accessed the thumb drive now in Nautilus.  I can access and manipulte stuff just fine it seems.  How do I change the permission now in here?
[04:04] <urlin2u> wsbl-uhpd651, I so it is just read it sounds like I thin you can change the permission from root nautilus, or pul the stuff off and reformat it.
[04:04] <BakeR> phenom i agree man
[04:05] <urlin2u> wsbl-uhpd651, right click permissions.
[04:05] <BakeR> buggy buggy
[04:05] <Stanley00> BakeR: did you look for eject in keyboard shortcut?
[04:05] <BakeR> they need to fix bugs not create more he he
[04:05] <phenom> Every time I install Ubuntu, I get some often bad, bugs.
[04:06] <BakeR> yeah eject i think is for the disc drives
[04:06] <Stanley00> BakeR: If you want a stable system, use LTS instead ;)
[04:06] <yeboot> can anyone help me my microphone isnt working
[04:06] <phenom> BakeR, Don't listen to him hehe, I use LTS and still have all kinds of bugs.
[04:06] <phenom> :P
[04:06] <usr13> !lts
[04:06] <phenom> Stable and Ubuntu = oxy moron itself.
[04:07] <urlin2u> wsbl-uhpd651, go to files-media to get to the properties of that thumb.
[04:07] <BakeR> i think he was being sarcastic
[04:07] <BakeR> lol
[04:07] <Stanley00> BakeR: hmm, I mean, you can create a custom keyboard shortcut like "Ctrl+U" to run command "umount /media/mount" or some kind of that ;)
[04:07] <yeboot> no one can help me
[04:07] <phenom> Where do I go to report bugs that haven't been fixed in years? :)
[04:07] <BakeR> urlin2u what ubuntu are you on
[04:07] <urlin2u> BakeR, natty right now.
[04:08] <BakeR> where to find the unmount button to make my own key short cut
[04:08] <urlin2u> BakeR, not sure I understand.
[04:08] <BakeR> yeah tried it for about 1 day hated all the bugs with compiz
[04:08] <K-Rich> proper bug filing is throwing a brick with a core dump printed out and attached thetough mark shutttleworths widow :P
[04:08] <usr13> phenom: Ubuntu is stable.  I don't know what your experience has been but I've been  useing it for a long time.
[04:08] <K-Rich> window
[04:09] <phenom> usr13, I have been too. And every upgrade heeds more problems
[04:09] <urlin2u> this is support not rant
[04:10] <bullgard4_> '~$ which phpmyadmin' does not produce any output. What is the phpMyAdmin executable?
[04:10] <phenom> usr13, Have you never had issues after upgrading?
[04:10] <somsip> bullgard4_: phpMyAdmin is a web app. It's not executable
[04:10] <usr13> phenom: I dono.  I've got a LTS machine that works great. My XYL has a 11.04 Laptop that is humming along just great.   Not sure what the problem is but I see a nice stable OS here.
[04:10] <urlin2u> phenom, I never upgrade I fresh install, it's faster and can be done with all the apps there.
[04:10] <variable> urlin2u: nope, didn't help
[04:10] <BakeR> anyone here having tearing effects under ubuntu with ati?
[04:11] <usr13> phenom: This LTS system started out as 6.06
[04:11] <phenom> I don't think I've ever gotten help here. Forgive me if it's interpreted as a rant. I'd consider it frustration.
[04:11] <urlin2u> variable, can you just empty iy=t and format it?
[04:11] <urlin2u> it*
[04:12] <variable> urlin2u: empty and format what ?
[04:12] <urlin2u> phenom, funny many get help here all the time I suspect your methods are flawed.
[04:12] <BakeR> well i got a quick tip for newbs having a tearing look when moving wobbly window
[04:12] <urlin2u> variable, the thumb
[04:12] <variable> urlin2u: what thumb? Wrong person / context perhaps?
[04:12] <phenom> I started using ubuntu because I was tired of configuring x/sound/wireless etc on Debian boxes etc. That's all I want it to do.
[04:13] <phenom> urlin2u, Probably because I know how to mount a harddisk.
[04:13] <usr13> phenom: This is a support channel and there are plenty of people here that are more than willing to share information.  Take it if it is useful.  That is all they can do for  you.
[04:13] <phenom> This channel helps new linux users, and apparently leaves us old folk behind.
[04:13] <variable> urlin2u: I'm havign a touchpad problem
[04:13] <variable> phenom: state your problem. If someone knows the answer and wants to help they
[04:14] <variable> will answer. Stop complaining. Thanks!
[04:14] <urlin2u> variable, sorry mixed you up my bad :(
[04:14] <usr13> phenom: THey haven't left me behind.
[04:14] <BakeR> actiocparnsnip is always here a suppose and he has not ben much help
[04:14] <wsbl-uhpd651> urlin2u: thank you.  That did the trick.  I just set the permissions the same way for owner, group, and "others".  You really helped.  Now I can back up my important files without worrying about being able to access them on this thumb drive or not :)
[04:14] <phenom> variable, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/579069 has been verified over a year ago, are we to see any resolution?
[04:14] <bullgard4_> somsip: You have raised an interesting point, and I need to think longer about it. But your statement is not the whole truth. phpmyadmin is also a DEB program package contining a lot of files. One of its exectuable files is /usr/sbin/pma-configure.
[04:14] <usr13> phenom: I still ask questions and they still answer.  So....
[04:14] <urlin2u> wsbl-uhpd651, yay your the thumb person .:)
[04:15] <bullgard4_> s/contining/caontaining/
[04:15] <somsip> bullgard4_: I've never install it form a deb, so I can;t help you
[04:15] <phenom> Every one of my bug reports, even when confirmed have never been fixed :P
[04:15] <variable> phenom: best to ask the developers of that particular package. I don't know what they will do.
[04:15] <bullgard4_> somsip: Thank you for your help.
[04:16] <crash1hd> hey all I have a few files on / (root) that I was wondering about and if they should be there? They all seem to be symbolic links to somewhere else to start I have cdrom initrd.img & initrd.img.old vmlinuz & vmlinuz.old xorg.conf.new (of these which are supposed to be there)?
[04:16] <variable> urlin2u: Any other ideas of how to get X to recognize the touchpad as well, a touchpad?
[04:16] <variable> I'm used to normal X configuration, not gnome / ubuntu / Linux oddities
[04:16] <usr13> phenom: From the above URL I see a line that says,  "Thanks! The workaround worked perfectly"   ???
[04:17] <bullgard4_> crash1hd: Please do not delet them!
[04:17] <bullgard4_> crash1hd: Please do not delete them!
[04:17] <Stanley00> crash1hd: They're the kernel image and initramdisk, so just leave them along ;)
[04:18] <crash1hd> I take it that you mean initrd and vmlinuz what about the .old files?
[04:18] <phenom> I have to admit, I imagined I'd have been asked to leave already. :)
[04:19] <yeboot> I think my mic is in use
[04:19] <wsbl-uhpd651> urlin2u: "files-media" ???
[04:19] <yeboot> I can hear it over the headphones
[04:19] <wsbl-uhpd651> urlin2u: And yes, I am the "thumb person" :)
[04:19] <yeboot> it's stupid someone help
[04:19] <phenom> But I do think,,, the best thing that could happen to Ubuntu in it's entirety, is have masses of users flood in here complaining of stability issues.
[04:19] <usr13> phenom: Folks on this channel are very tolerant as far as I can tell.
[04:19] <Stanley00> crash1hd: they're the old vmlinuz and initrd then ;)
[04:20] <rww> I think the masses of users should file bug reports, the support helpers are not often developers ;)
[04:20] <crash1hd> Stanley00, ok thanks :) so what about cdrom? (I no longer have a cdrom installed, but I might in the future is it needed?)
[04:21] <usr13> they are interested in sharing knowledge and I think that is important to most all linux users.  We are pretty darn sure that we have some really great software to work with and are hoping to work together to make it even better.
[04:21] <Stanley00> crash1hd: /cdrom is safe to delete, but it wont take too much space if you leave it there ;)
[04:21] <crash1hd> Stanley00, Cool thanks :) you guys are as always very helpful :)
[04:22] <Stanley00> crash1hd: you are welcome ;)
[04:22] <usr13> and the perfect OS does not exist
[04:22] <phenom> Put stability first. If Ubuntu doesn't have the leverage to pressure upstream in to fixing their own bugs, then they should release the distro with the broken package. Is all. :P
[04:23] <Dollz> where to get xvid encoder ?
[04:23] <Stanley00> usr13: I think "th perfect OS for everyone" is more precise, Ubuntu is nearly perfect for me ;)
[04:24] <usr13> perfection - no, not really, but a very awesome system, that's what I have -  yes Stanley00  very nearly perfect IMHO :).
[04:24] <Stanley00> usr13: ;)
[04:25] <axi93> Ubuntu is a decent system overall. Hardly great in comparison to what it has the potential to be.
[04:26] <crash1hd> Ok now I have to figure out how to safely get rid of all nvidia software on my ubuntu box (I upgraded the motherboard and the new video card is an ati so I no longer require the nvidia software)
[04:26] <axi93> Now... comparing it to the worst OS(s)... Microsoft/Apple.
[04:26] <usr13> maybe I'm a bit of an optimist but I prefer to see the glass as half full   (optimism is more fun anyway)
[04:27] <usr13> BTW, we should have this conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic (an under used and under appreciated channel).
[04:28] <cyber121> hhi
[04:29] <axi93> usr13: i think the conversation died long before it started
[04:29] <usr13> axi93: You certainly have a right to your opinion.
[04:30] <Dollz> where to get an xvid encoder ?
[04:30] <Supari> anyone go to ross med school?
[04:30] <variable> urlin2u: I stopped gdm, created and edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:30] <variable> but EHELP
[04:30] <Dollz> Supari: no
[04:30] <usr13> variable: What's the matter?
[04:31] <usr13> variable: What video card do you have?
[04:31] <variable> usr13: X is detecting my mouse as a normal mouse, not a touchpad
[04:31] <Dollz> how to put a program in the include path ?
[04:31] <Dollz> I mean , when I type it name anywhere
[04:32] <Dollz> it opens
[04:32] <variable> Dollz: shell specific option
[04:32] <usr13> variable: In what way is it malfunctioning?
[04:32] <variable> Dollz: typically you add the directory to $PATH as a colon deliminated list
[04:32] <Schala> How do I remove dead links from my Applications menu?
[04:32] <variable> usr13: I'm not able to shut it off while typing, adjust sensitivity to touch, etc
[04:33] <usr13> variable: I think he is talking about a tarball
[04:33] <Dollz> variable: should I type $PATH = $PATH+";new_location" ?
[04:33] <variable> Dollz: colon, not semi-colon
[04:33] <Dollz> variable: should I type $PATH = $PATH+",new_location" ?
[04:33] <usr13> variable: Oh yea, touchpads are touchy sometimes.
[04:33] <variable> Dollz: *sigh* it depends on your shell
[04:33] <george> Hey guys what exactly is the WSOD? cause i think my girlfriend's Dell Inspiron 14r might be affecting it
[04:34] <Dollz> variable: bash
[04:34] <variable> Dollz: on a POSIX compliant shell doing something like export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/dir"; will work
[04:34] <crash1hd> Is there an easy way to remove all nvidia software on my ubuntu box (I upgraded the motherboard and the new video card is an ati so I no longer require the nvidia software)?
[04:34] <variable> urlin2u: yes, its not detecting it as a touchpad
[04:34]  * variable wants it to
[04:34] <axi93> crash1hd: you can probably search for nvidia and select the packages to remove either in the software center or synaptic
[04:34] <george> She's using her laptop and her desktop slowly fades to white o.o
[04:34] <yeboot> can someone help me
[04:35] <usr13> Dollz: PATH=$PATH:/dir/dir
[04:35] <axi93> yeboot: just ask; if we know the answer we will
[04:35] <variable> urlin2u: use more quotes!
[04:35] <george> everything goes white and then 5 minutes later its back 2 normal
[04:35] <urlin2u> variable, I'm on the phone
[04:35] <usr13> Dollz: and then  export PATH
[04:35] <Dollz> usr13: thanks
[04:36] <variable> urlin2u: :-)
[04:36] <usr13> Dollz: What is it you are trying to add BTW?
[04:36] <crash1hd> axi93, hmm ok I was kinda hoping there was something shell based cause when I do the package manager it seems to ask me if I want to remove things like ubuntu-desktop? which I worry about not sure what that is?
[04:36] <Dollz> usr13: a path to mplayer directory to run mencoder quickly
[04:36] <crash1hd> as well as nouveau firmware
[04:37] <usr13> Dollz: You know you can just do mkdir ~/bin  and put scripts there to your heart's content.
[04:37] <axi93> crash1hd: don't remove it if it says it is going to remove ubuntu-desktop. that is like everything. basically. not just the invidia packages.
[04:37] <usr13> Dollz: mplayer should already be in your path.
[04:37] <usr13> Dollz: How did you install mplayer?
[04:37] <axi93> crash1hd: hold on a second and i'll see what i can do to answer your question.
[04:37] <Dollz> usr13: from svn
[04:37] <usr13> Dollz: you didn't use the package manager?
[04:37] <crash1hd> axi93, ok :) thanks
[04:38] <axi93> crash1hd: did you install additional drivers in ubuntu or are you using the free ones?
[04:38] <Dollz> usr13: I tried to install mencoder only using apt-get , but it installed an old version (2009)
[04:38] <Dollz> usr13: so , I got it from the source :) svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer
[04:39] <Dollz> + ./configure make , and make install
[04:39] <crash1hd> truelly I am not sure, there was a time where I was trying anythnig to get the nvidia drivers to work
[04:39] <usr13> Dollz: What version of Ubuntu do you have?
[04:39] <Dollz> usr13: 10.04
[04:39] <yeboot> I can't get my microphone working other than directly using it as output
[04:40] <variable> urlin2u: thanks !
[04:41] <Dollz> brb
[04:41] <Strav> Hi. I know the following questions might have been asked a thousand times, but I never got the chance to read unity's design team responses to much of the criticism that's out there. For instance. For a new comer, it now takes FIVE clicks to reach a given item from the accessories, what the hell?. And how about being able to reposition the launcher bar on the desktop for those whom, being used to browse content from top-down and
[04:41] <Strav> left-right, just see the launcher bar as a visual annoyance/distraction and would feel it's really less intrusive at the bottom of the screen? In all, is there some place where the design team give responses and perhaps even dialog with the feedback they had? (is it launchpad actually?, should these be filled as bugs?)
[04:42] <usr13> Dollz: The version from the repository was not doing the job for you?
[04:43] <usr13> or did you try it?
[04:43] <axi93> crash1hd: i don't believe you can remove the Nouveau package. you can remove the unified NVIDIA drivers though...
[04:43] <fluffy> Can anyone help me with a BCM43xx issue
[04:43] <crash1hd> axi93, ok
[04:43] <Dollz> usr13: didn't try it at all
[04:44] <axi93> crash1hd: maybe a better question is why do you want to remove these drivers?
[04:44] <crash1hd> axi93, well I am no longer using an nvidia card
[04:45] <crash1hd> axi93, and there is an option in the settings that makes reference to them
[04:45] <axi93> crash1hd: i wouldn't worry about it if it isn't negatively impacting you.
[04:45] <usr13> Dollz: mplayer is a very complicated suite of applications.  It is the swiss-army knife of video players. It is easy to isntall from the package manager and hard to install manually.   YOu should install from the repository and see if it functions properly.
[04:46] <crash1hd> axi93, its not and i know I could just hide the menu item.  On that note when I do install the custom ati driver I get a warning about unsupported ati driver as a little image in the bottom right corner of the screen
[04:46] <crash1hd> so I was not sure if it was affected
[04:46] <axi93> crash1hd: you can disable the driver if you want to do that.
[04:46] <Dollz> usr13: but I think it's fine .. it didn't take 10 minutes to download and complie
[04:46] <Dollz> usr13: just 3 commands
[04:46] <crash1hd> axi93, I have done that already (that removed the warning) and all seems to be working but I am not trying to do anything complicated either lol
[04:47] <axi93> crash1hd: go to system -> administration -> additional drivers (10.04)
[04:47] <Dollz> usr13: got no errors at all
[04:47] <usr13> Dollz: Well you should not have to alter your path to use it.  If you install it properly it will work.  No matter if you isntall from tarball or from package manager.
[04:47] <usr13> I'm going to be away from my terminal for a while....
[04:47] <axi93> crash1hd: i actually wanted to do what you are trying to do at one time to shrink the size of a ISO which contained a mini version of ubuntu. unfortunately the way things are packaged you just can't.
[04:48] <Dollz> usr13: hmmm , I hope this is the only problem :)
[04:48] <crash1hd> axi93, ok :) makes sense the driver it wants me to use is the ATI/AMD prop.. FGLRX graphics driver
[04:48] <crash1hd> but when I activate it I get the warning
[04:49] <crash1hd> which I have looked up and it tells me that the warning is bogus that it is verified (but couldnt find a way to get rid of it)
[04:54] <xxzz> hi, do i need to delete win re partition before installing ubuntu on laptop or it can stay there
[04:54] <axi93> xxzz: it can remain.
[04:54] <xxzz> axi93, ty
[04:55] <axi93> xxzz: you can resize a windows partition usually and then create a new one in the free space. after which you can install to the new one and when the system boots you will have the option of booting either windows or ubuntu.
[04:56] <xxzz> i already have free space
[04:56] <axi93> then you are golden
[04:56] <xxzz> its just that i opted for custom patitioning and i didnt select not to create re, it normally puts that under C:
[04:57] <xxzz> loosing primary partition for something as stupid as that is not useful
[04:57] <danidant> hellow there
[04:57] <Marcoss> A male told me recently that he paid an uncircumcised Woman $500 to defecate on his circumcised genitalia.
[04:58] <Marcoss> I am still trying to wrap my brain around this.
[04:58] <jetscreamer> trans
[04:58] <rww> Marcoss: We don't want to know.
[04:58] <chalcedony> could anyone tell me how to copy one window and not my full monitor, in ubuntu 10.10?
[04:59] <jetscreamer> alt+print screen?
[05:01] <ewww> etc init.d networking restart is deprecated <---- what is this error all about? how i do resolve this?
[05:01] <george> i dont want to bother anyone but my girlfriend's dell inspiron 14r is having an issue that randomly the screen starts getting white and then everything fades into the white and she says that it happens in Windows 7 too o.o
[05:01] <jamesw> google calendar integration with natty indicator?
[05:02] <axi93> george: take it to a repair shop
[05:02] <talntid2> inverter is doing dead
[05:03] <george> yea its likely that its a serious hardware issue
[05:03] <talntid2> when it does that, take a flashlight to it and see if you can see it.
[05:04] <axi93> george: well, it isn't terribly difficult to fix. you will probably be charged an arm and a leg to fix it though. i know i charge an arm and a leg.
[05:04] <talntid2> me too =P
[05:04] <Peace_Maker> Hi all
[05:04] <talntid2> check the service tag on Dell's website, to check warranty status.
[05:04] <talntid2> you might be surprised.
[05:05] <Peace_Maker> :(
[05:05] <jamesw> time zone on clock indicator-  does anyone know how?
[05:05] <Peace_Maker> Hello
[05:06] <jamesw> hello Peace_Maker
[05:06] <george> but is this common on Dell hardware? ive read things online about this and all, now im never buying a Dell laptop xD
[05:06] <axi93> george: basically you need to order an card which usually goes in the screen. so... you'd have to pop off some little circles that cover the screws to get the screen off (under the circles are screws) and then the thing pops plastic piece around the screen pops off. toward the bottom there is a card usually. it just needs to be replaced.
[05:06] <talntid2> it's common on laptops. period.
[05:06] <talntid2> it's no more common on dell than anyone
[05:06] <talntid2> dell doesn't make their own screens. other companies do. and HP, dell, ibm, toshiba, etc... all use similar manufacturers.
[05:07] <Peace_Maker> guys I have some problem here :(
[05:07] <axi93> george: your best bet is to get a free software compatible laptop ....
[05:07] <axi93> george: thinkpenguin.com, maybe elsewhere although zareason seems to have backed out of supporting freedom.
[05:08] <Peace_Maker> ee intel (0) no kernel modesetting driver detected
[05:08] <Peace_Maker> what should I do?
[05:08] <george> hm ok, ill tell my girlfriend this cause its her laptop, i own an HP Mini 210 :)

[05:09] <Peace_Maker> any help
[05:09] <Peace_Maker> ?
[05:09] <axi93> george: not sure why unless you are going to convince her to buy something else. ... that you prefer. :)
[05:09] <talntid2> george, whats the service tag on that laptop? it is on the bottom of it
[05:09] <Jordan_U> ewww: sudo service networking restart
[05:09] <george> i dont have it, i can check it tomorrow
[05:10] <axi93> i can't believe i thought this hard drive case was bad all cause the hard drives didn't have partion tables i was inserting :)
[05:10] <george> my gf just needed to know what could be wrong with it thats all n_n
[05:10] <talntid2> check the warranty on dells website tomorrow :)
[05:10] <Peace_Maker> anyone can help me?
[05:10] <ewww> Jordan_U: restart: Unknown instance: <---- still an error
[05:10] <axi93> Peace_Maker: that depends on what the issue is
[05:10] <george> wuts the prob Peace_Maker?
[05:11] <Peace_Maker> ee intel 0 no kernel modesetting driver detected
[05:11] <Peace_Maker> i can't enter the gui interface
[05:11] <george> oh
[05:11] <george> wow
[05:12] <george> hopefully axi93 knows, im still learning n.n
[05:13] <Peace_Maker> me too am still beginner

[05:13] <george> bye
[05:14] <Peace_Maker> bye
[05:14] <axi93> Peace_Maker: it has to do with your graphics
[05:14] <ewww> omg, gays are meeting each other now
[05:15] <axi93> eww: what? where? i'm gay
[05:15] <Spacewalker> Me too.
[05:15] <axi93> :)
[05:15] <AlessonZaire> =_=
[05:15] <AlessonZaire> Things are getting pink
[05:16] <danes> is it possible to see what processes are being executed in the terminal? is there any command/
[05:16] <Peace_Maker> what should i do for fixing it?
[05:16] <axi93> Peace_Maker: aww there isn't anything to fix.
[05:16] <axi93> danes: ps -aux
[05:16] <Peace_Maker> so what :(
[05:17] <axi93> Peace_Maker: it is something to the effect that you lack 3d accelerated support for your graphics card under ubuntu
[05:17] <Peace_Maker> and
[05:17] <albech> does anyone know where to get information about the formatting of /proc/PID/stat files?
[05:17] <Peace_Maker> ?
[05:18] <axi93> Peace_Maker: well, i guess if you want 3d support you should buy a free software compatible graphics card.
[05:18] <axi93> albech: google
[05:18] <bigbang> I am getting following error while installing zimbra desktop http://pastebin.com/0x4Nwtsg
[05:18] <Peace_Maker> like what?
[05:18] <albech> axi93, really? :p
[05:19] <axi93> albech: :) yea, that was funny.
[05:21] <calmpitbull> good morning.....i have lost all my sound in ubuntu 11.04
[05:21] <calmpitbull> can't get it work
[05:22] <axi93> calmpitbull: i know the answer to this problem. buy a free software compatible usb audio adapter. they are available from thinkpenguin.com and other fine stores! (although the others are harder to find... cause most don't clearly indicate it)
[05:23] <calmpitbull> axi93: what????
[05:23] <axi93> calmpitbull: the other answer is revert your linux kernel version. not something i'd suggest doing... on any permanent basis.
[05:23] <sweetandy> I am using 11.04. I have a bcm4311 wireless card issue. The driver is properly installed and activated. There is a physical switch on the laptop to enable/disable the card. The indicator LED on the card does not switch from orange to blue when activated (unlike under all other distros I have run). No card activity is possible.
[05:23] <axi93> calmpitbull: you have a usb audio chipset that is a piece of junk...
[05:24] <axi93> calmpitbull: it shouldn't stop working just because your kernel updated or you upgraded.
[05:24] <calmpitbull> axi93: what a fuck...
[05:24] <calmpitbull> axi93: just shot up
[05:25] <axi93> calmpitbull: i just told you a second solution.... but as i said i wouldn't advise it.
[05:25] <axi93> sweetandy: broadcom doesn't support free software or linux well at all...
[05:26] <sweetandy> axi93, that is very true, but I have used this card with GNU/Linux distributions for almost two years
[05:26] <sweetandy> I rarely use the WIFI, if ever, but I wanted to configure it with this new installation anyway.
[05:26] <axi93> sweetandy: support ends when broadcom says it ends... you are shit out of luck
[05:26] <sweetandy> Thank you, I will keep that in mind.
[05:27] <axi93> sweetandy: good luck
[05:27] <Myrtti> !language
[05:27] <calmpitbull> good morning.....i have lost all my sound in ubuntu 11.04
[05:27] <calmpitbull> and i need help
[05:27] <sweetandy> axi93, I did not choose this hardware, but I did choose this software. It bothers me that I must resort to non-free firmware. Your contribution to this conversation was nil.
[05:27] <[[mandrix]]> what's the device?
[05:27] <axi93> :) wow... someone actually thinks i'm a professional. always considered myself a hacker. not a professional.
[05:28] <[[mandrix]]> have you tried checking the devices?
[05:28] <calmpitbull> i did
[05:28] <bazhang> axi93, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[05:28] <[[mandrix]]> i hope the real meaning of hacker not the media bullshit
[05:30] <Myrtti> seriously, mind your language, people - this isn't a Wild West saloon
[05:30] <axi93> Myritti: :) you are right. but lack of curse words really makes it difficult to communicate
[05:32] <axi93> :) should start an "adults" only chat
[05:33] <nnull> on irc? original thinking right there ;)
[05:34] <calmpitbull> can somebody tell me if anybody else had a problem with sound after updat
[05:35] <Dracari> how do i properly add my Wifi via wpa_supplicant? it uses symbols and #'s and it get errors from it when trying to add.
[05:35] <peterruth> hello
[05:36] <Dracari> (as in i got !,@, and ?'s in it. and i get bash errors.)
[05:38] <user_> @Dracari enclose in quotes?
[05:38] <Dracari> (i cant use anything Non bash-promt/terminal based as this is for adding a Wifi connection to XBMC-Live, (its underlying OS @tm is ubuntu 10.1)
[05:39] <Dracari> User_ i'll try that and comeback if that doesnt work.
[05:40] <Dracari> but ... How do i close irssi?
[05:42] <Myrtti> Dracari: /quit
[05:42] <user_> @Dracari "/exit"
[05:42] <user_> sans quotes?
[05:42] <f4k3z> is there someone from Costa RIca??
[05:45] <Dracari> still catches on !on2
[05:45] <mat619> Hi there. I got a VIA C3 machine at home on which Ubuntu refuses to install correctly - neither live-cd nor alternate installer work properly. I found an old harddrive with 9.04 on it, and it booted perfectly though! Now I'm thinking about upgrading the 9.04 to 10.04 LTS, to regain update support. Is that possible? I read some people had problems doing that?
[05:45] <LSD`> If I apt-get install ccache, is there anything more that has to be done to enable it? As in, can I compile stuff as I normally would and it'll kick in on its own or do I have to activate it manually as per various online docs I've looked at?
[05:46] <Dracari> i guess i cant use a Password w/ an ! in it in this manner ;-;
[05:46] <dsnyders> Hi all!  What is a good program for ripping DVDs?  I want to play the files on my WD  TV  Live Plus box.
[05:47] <user_> hm, escape sequences for the troublesome character "!" would be another guess but I figured quotes would've taken care of it?!?
[05:47] <bazhang> dsnyders, ogmrip
[05:48] <Dracari> i dont want to Create an Virtual Interface on my DD-WRT router JUST for my XBMC-Live Wireless units.
[05:49] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades mat619 please see this
[05:49] <dsnyders> bazhang, Thanks.  I'll take a look at that.   I used to have a script that did an mplayer dumpstream, but I can't find it anymore.
[05:49] <Dracari> guess i'll nee dto create one.. thanks for the help though user_
[05:50] <bazhang> dsnyders, ogmrip has a load of nice preset options as to how you rip it (ie number of passes, for which device etc)
[05:50] <user_> tried, best of luck Dracari
[05:50] <bazhang> calmpitbull, check in alsamixer that nothing is muted
[05:51] <user_> keep tinkering in the future wih it
[05:51] <mat619> bazhang: thanks, but I read that before. I know it IS possible, but my question rather is "would you recommend that" - bad choice of wording. can't write proper english before at least 2nd cup of coffee. :/
[05:51] <mat619> bazhang: I'm afraid that upgrading will kill proper support for my hardware, which seems to be troublesome considering no newer release than 9.04 would work with it. wonder why!?
[05:51] <aple> How do I add something to my terminal? Like if I wanted to call /home/aple/MyApp from terminal like: "myapp newfile.txt". How would I do that?
[05:51] <bazhang> mat619, do you have a separate home partition; upgrades such work fine, as would a fresh install
[05:52] <aple> I'm creating a symlink to it, but I'm not sure how to make it part of my terminal path
[05:52] <bazhang> mat619, try a live cd with some bootoptions then
[05:52] <bazhang> !bootoptions | mat619
[05:52] <mat619> aple: add /home/aple/bin or wherever you keep your app to your path variable
[05:52] <dsnyders> bazhang, my script wasn't very pretty.  It basically looped through 30 times, blindly trying to play each DVD chapter.  I'm sure OGMRip is a lot better.
[05:53] <calmpitbull> bazhang: i did yesterday and now i have speakers muted again,
[05:53] <bazhang> dsnyders, be certain to have libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org
[05:53] <mat619> aple: then when you call "myapp newfile.txt" the shell will look for an app by the name of myapp in all folders in $PATH, including the folder your app is actually in.
[05:54] <calmpitbull> bazhang: and when i put it on lauder nothing happens
[05:54] <bazhang> calmpitbull, are you using something with WINE?
[05:54] <aple> mat619: Last time I did this, I was told to make a symlink. Is that not necessary?
[05:54] <dsnyders> bazhang, Thanks for that reminder.
[05:54] <calmpitbull> no
[05:54] <calmpitbull> bazhang:what do u mean
[05:54] <mat619> aple: where is your app located and were you told to symlink it to?
[05:55] <bazhang> calmpitbull, microsoft apps with WINE
[05:55] <calmpitbull> bazhang: no
[05:55] <bazhang> calmpitbull, what is PCM set to in alsamixer
[05:55] <calmpitbull> bazhang:100
[05:55] <bazhang> calmpitbull, down it to around 70
[05:55] <calmpitbull> ok
[05:56] <calmpitbull> bazhang:no what
[05:56] <aple> mat619: Well, I don't care about symlinking to be honest. I just want to add Sublime Text 2 to terminal so I can call it from terminal like: "st2 newfile.txt" or just open it with "st2"
[05:56] <calmpitbull> bazhang:now what
[05:56] <bazhang> calmpitbull, try playing a test sound
[05:57] <calmpitbull> bazhang:can i open avi to test it
[05:57] <aple> mat619: /home/aple/SublimeText2/sublime_text
[05:57] <bazhang> calmpitbull, sure, why not
[05:57] <xxxguardianangel> xxxguardianangel> hey all, anyone know how to fix gecko on a wine install?
[05:57] <calmpitbull> bazhang:still nothing
[05:58] <bazhang> xxxguardianangel, try #winehq after checking the appdb
[05:58] <bazhang> !appdb | xxxguardianangel
[05:58] <mat619> aple: ah, now I see why you were told to create a symlink. If the executable file itself is called "sublime_text", and you want to call it with "st2", you need to create a symlink on sublime_text called st2. that would be step 1.
[05:58] <aple> How do I name symlinks?
[05:58] <xxxguardianangel> bazhang, it has to be 1.3.9, the ubuntu repo has 1.2.2
[05:59] <mat619> aple: second step would be to add /home/aple/SublimeText2/ to your path variable, so that the shell will search that folder for an app called "st2" when you call it.
[05:59] <atari2600a> +1 idlers are all being mute assholes, so I'll ask here
[05:59] <atari2600a> Can unity in 11.10 RE-ARRANGE WORKSPACES
[05:59] <aple> mat619: Last time I did it, I did it in a one-liner.
[05:59] <atari2600a> it's the only think setting me back from using it
[05:59] <atari2600a> otherwise I'm installing xubuntu
[05:59] <atari2600a> or kubuntu
[05:59] <bazhang> atari2600a, watch the language. this is the wrong place as well
[05:59] <atari2600a> I haven't decided whether my 4.0 wounds have healed yet
[05:59] <mat619> aple: ooff... good question. been a while since i last did that, something along the lines of "ln -s sublime_text st2" when you're in /home/aple/SublimeText2/.
[06:00] <mat619> aple: am unsure of the exact syntax though, you might want to look it up if it doesn't work.
[06:00] <calmpitbull> bazhang:any other ideas
[06:01] <vingian> hello all
[06:02] <bazhang> calmpitbull, check in padevchooser for your sound device
[06:02] <bazhang> !info padevchooser | calmpitbull
[06:03] <vingian> i have an ubuntu desktop (10.10) & a 10.10 server however, when i type sudo apt-get install <pkg_name> I get tab completion to assist me on the desktop edition
[06:03] <vingian> however, in the server edition the tab completion doesn't work at all...
[06:03] <calmpitbull> bazhang:ok
[06:03] <vingian> is there something different that needs to be done on the server? (missing packages perhaps?)
[06:04] <glebihan> vingian, do you have the bash-completion package installed ?
[06:04] <dsnyders> bazhang, Rip in progress.  No libdvdcss2 complaints.  Mind you, it's a small production run DVD, not likely to be region coded or encrypted in any way.
[06:04] <xxxguardianangel> bazhang: I'be been asking in there for the last hour
[06:04] <vingian> glebihan: i can check - however, its a default installation so it hasn't changed much - doesn't it get installed by default?
[06:04] <mat619> aple: check this for an explanation about how to set the PATH-variable to include /home/aple/SublimeText2/ - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
[06:04] <dsnyders> bazhang, thanks for the pointer to OGMRip.
[06:05] <glebihan> vingian, not sure
[06:05] <LSD`> Are there any DVD Rippers for Linux that just decrypt the files and not want to immediately reencode the mto something else as part of the process?
[06:05] <dsnyders> g'night all!
[06:06] <bazhang> LSD`, to ISO, for example?
[06:06] <vingian> glebihan: the said package is installed
[06:06] <mat619> How can I check if a package is available in the repos of a now unsupported release? packages.ubuntu.com doesn't allow me to search old repos as far as I can see
[06:06] <organiks> how stable is 11.04 64bit on a usb?
[06:06] <qin> xxxguardianangel: 1.3 is in repos, natty's
[06:06] <mat619> whereas "search" means "hack something into a search box and press enter", not navigate through a folder structure frontend
[06:07] <LSD`> bazhang: no, to a collection of decrypted VOB files in afolder off the disc
[06:07] <xxxguardianangel> qin, 2.6.32-33-generic #72-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 21:08:37 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
[06:07] <glebihan> vingian, then no idea, sorry. I don't actuallly use bash
[06:07] <bazhang> LSD`, no idea, never tried it
[06:09] <qin> xxxguardianangel: Check version from natty (or oneiric) and see how bad looks dependencies, source is also option if you really need this particular version. You on lucid?
[06:09] <organiks> anyone?
[06:10] <aple> mat619: ln -s .... didn't work and the doc doesn't say anything
[06:11] <aple> I think it had something to do with symlinking to /bin/ or something
[06:13] <acalvo> hello, livecd freezes in a HP Pavilion G6
[06:13] <acalvo> no error messages, just hangs
[06:13] <acalvo> using ubuntu 11.04 livecd
[06:13] <qin> organiks: It will strongly depend from quality of usb drive.
[06:13] <urlin2u> !details | acalvo
[06:13] <acalvo> tried with noapic nolapic acpi=off vga=771
[06:14] <urlin2u> acalvo, how about nomodeset?
[06:14] <usr13> acalvo: memtest
[06:15] <acalvo> I have a problem with the Ubuntu Natty 11.04 liveCD. During the boot process, it freezes and the computer doesn't respond to any command. I expected it to start the desktop. I am using an HP Pavilion G6
[06:15] <acalvo> urlin2u, didn't try it
[06:15] <acalvo> usr13, it's a new machine
[06:15] <urlin2u> md5sum? acalvo
[06:15] <usr13> acalvo: memtest
[06:15] <acalvo> urlin2u, it boots with another computer
[06:15] <aple> Anyone know how to add Sublime Text 2 to Terminal?
[06:15] <acalvo> usr13, the standard windows installation was running fine
[06:16] <urlin2u> acalvo, do you know the gpu?
[06:16] <acalvo> urlin2u, going to check
[06:16] <urlin2u> acalvo, my guess is a nvidia card.
[06:16] <acalvo> urlin2u, intel HD
[06:17] <irc2samus> hello guys, I've set a keyboard shortcut to start the web browser but now it tries to open http://18154115/ whenever it starts, any ideas?
[06:17] <urlin2u> acalvo, lspci | grep VGA  will show the gou
[06:17] <urlin2u> gpu
[06:17] <qin> aple: Where do you keep binary, path, please.
[06:17] <acalvo> urlin2u, I can't start the livecd
[06:17] <irc2samus> the "open web browser" command seems to be getting wrong arguments (whetever it is)
[06:18] <urlin2u> acalvo, try the nomodeset if it is the gpu tthat should get you in.
[06:18] <acalvo> urlin2u, going to check
[06:19] <usr13> irc2samus: What is the command in the keyboard shortcut?  You might try changing it to firefox google.com  or  firefox about:blank
[06:19] <TONGJI> any?
[06:20] <acalvo> urlin2u, still fails to start, but now it shows some errors
[06:20] <aple> qin: What's the binary? The file I'm trying to use in terminal is: ~/apps/SublimeText2/sublime_text
[06:20] <usr13> irc2samus: What is  18154115?
[06:20] <acalvo> it fails to "start to fallback the graphic devices"
[06:20] <Pupeno> Where does evolution stores its address book? I need to restore from backups?
[06:20] <qin> aple: One sec
[06:20] <acalvo> and it also shows "bad lun (0:1) bad target (1:0)"
[06:20] <irc2samus> usr13, well the shortcut it's for the "Launch web browser" action on the "Desktop" section, I guess I could create a new shortcut and specify the command but It hought that would/should work
[06:20] <macbookubuntu> hello!
[06:21] <irc2samus> usr13, regarding the number I've no idea
[06:21] <aple> Maybe I'm thinking of /usr/share .. :\
[06:21] <macbookubuntu> i'm running 11.04 on my 4.5 year old macbook and i can't get a clear dual monitor picture when i hook it up to my 32" sony bravia hdtv. any hints?
[06:22] <organiks> thnx
[06:22] <organiks> qin
[06:22] <urlin2u> acalvo, not beyond beyond those ides to be honest, you might google the computer model and ubuntu.
[06:22] <usr13> irc2samus: I don't either.  But it may be that firefox's start page has somehow gotten changed to that bogus ULR.  Did you check that?
[06:22] <organiks> and acalvo not live cd install
[06:22] <acalvo> urlin2u, that's what I've been doing for the last hour
[06:22] <urlin2u> not sure beyond*
[06:22] <acalvo> organiks, that what I must try now...
[06:22] <acalvo> thanks guys!
[06:23] <urlin2u> TONGJI, any what?
[06:23] <usr13> irc2samus: What happens when you just run   firefox  from terminal?
[06:23] <irc2samus> usr13, it was a possibility but it's not the case here, my guess is that the "Lauch web browser" action is passing some extra arguments
[06:23] <qin> aple: Does: cd ~/apps/SublimeText2/ && ./sublime_text starts application?
[06:23] <TONGJI> have no idea for IRc
[06:24] <urlin2u> irc2samus, clean the cookis and cache, and backup.
[06:24] <irc2samus> usr13, works fine from the terminal
[06:24] <usr13> irc2samus: That would be my guess, that the "Lauch web browser" action is passing some extra arguments.
[06:24] <aple> qin: Yes
[06:24] <qin> organiks: ?
[06:24] <rapecannon> Hey, anyone have CLI experience using screen?
[06:24] <usr13> irc2samus: See if you can cahnge those extra arguments.
[06:24] <irc2samus> usr13, do you know where that action is specified? just curios
[06:24] <irc2samus> *curious
[06:25] <usr13> rapecannon: yea
[06:25] <usr13> irc2samus: No I don't.
[06:25] <irc2samus> rapecannon, I do, there's a channel for it too
[06:25] <organiks> usb install
[06:25] <usr13> irc2samus: I thought you did.
[06:25] <irc2samus> usr13, ok thanks, I'll go with the new shortcut then and specify the command myself
[06:25] <rapecannon> irc2samus: There is? Fantastic. What's the channel?
[06:25] <JadedJacob> Hi all.
[06:25] <irc2samus> rapecannon, #screen
[06:26] <rapecannon> irc2samus: simple as that? Lolz. To think I spent a few minutes trying to google for "screen irc channel"
[06:26] <glebihan> irc2samus, it's in the default applications settings : gnome-default-applications-properties
[06:26] <rapecannon> Thanks!
[06:26] <JadedJacob> I'm currently installing lubuntu, and I'm wanting to setup my machine so it can play dvds, divx/wmv and flash
[06:26] <qin> aple: In one line: cd ~ && echo "#!/bin/bash" > st.sh && echo "./apps/SublimeText2/sublime_text" >> st.sh && ./st.sh
[06:26] <qin> aple: Dice?
[06:26] <JadedJacob> I know how to setup flash, but not about codecs and dvd
[06:27] <JadedJacob> Is installing the codecs the same as it is on ubuntu pure?
[06:27] <usr13> !dvd | JadedJacob
[06:27] <irc2samus> glebihan, I have gnome-default-applications-properties which opens the "preferred applications" and that does not show the actual command, just a dropdown to select the browser
[06:27] <usr13> JadedJacob: Yes, would be same.
[06:28] <glebihan> irc2samus, then check the value of /desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec in gconf-editor
[06:28] <qin> aple: ups: cd ~ && chmod +x st.sh && ./st.sh
[06:29] <JadedJacob> thanks
[06:29] <irc2samus> glebihan, nice tool :) unfortunately it shows just 'firefox' as the command
[06:29] <irc2samus> (the plot thikens...)
[06:29] <boomernang00> Hi, using ubuntu 11.04 64bit - how can i use custom mount points during the paritioning process in the install? It will only let me choose from a list of mount points
[06:29] <irc2samus> +c
[06:30] <aple> qin: !/bin/bash: event not found
[06:30] <aple> qin: I did this the other night with someone in here and it was a lot simpler anyway. Something like a symlink to /usr/share
[06:30] <xxxguardianangel> qin, I wouldn't install something painfully annoying if I didn't need it that way
[06:30] <qin> aple: Add # in fron of !
[06:30] <aple> qin: I did
[06:31] <reachingperfecti> how can i find my server name and my name
[06:31] <glebihan> irc2samus, weird... Have you tried to change your default browser in order to see whether the behavior is specific to firefox ?
[06:32] <JadedJacob> sorry, I joined the ubuntu room, rather than the lubuntu
[06:32] <vingian> reachingperfecti: execute hostname at the prompt for your servername
[06:32] <vingian> reachingperfecti: & whoami for username
[06:32] <irc2samus> glebihan, it's the only browser I have installed atm but it's worth a try, let me install another and I'll reply back
[06:32] <urlin2u> JadedJacob, lubuntu is supported here as well.
[06:32] <aple> qin: It sucks because I specifically saved this easy one-liner in a .txt and then reformatted and forgot to back it up :)
[06:33] <qin> aple: if st.sh will work from ~ you can put it in $PATH, so it will be proper launcher.
[06:34] <aple> What's st.sh?
[06:34] <qin> aple: File you just created: ls ~
[06:35] <aple> Ah, your one-liner works if I call the file like: "~/st2"
[06:36] <calmpitbull> bazhang: u sad to install what
[06:36] <qin> aple: ./st.sh (unless you changed name) or: bash st.sh
[06:37] <reachingperfecti> vingian: ACTUALLY I WANT TO SHARE A FOLder with another ubuntu pc but not on a common LAN
[06:37] <boomernang00> Hi - am i able to create a custom mount point during the partitioning process of the install? (ubuntu 11.04.64bit)
[06:37] <brad_> Nobody has +v in #screen, I don't think.
[06:38] <usr13> reachingperfecti: nfs ?
[06:38] <brad_> Whoops
[06:38] <urlin2u> boomernang00, like?
[06:38] <usr13> reachingperfecti: But not on a common LAN???
[06:38] <reachingperfecti> usr13: nfs means
[06:38] <aple> qin: Figured it out
[06:38] <reachingperfecti> usr13: yes not a comman LAN
[06:38] <boomernang00> urlin2u: like my second harddrive using mount point  /Downloads... It will only let me use pre defined mount points like /home and /var
[06:39] <aple> qin: ln -s ~/apps/SublimeText2/sublime_text /usr/bin/st2
[06:39] <aple> Now I can call ST2 from terminal with just "st2"
[06:39] <reachingperfecti> usr13: me my friend lives 3 miles away
[06:39] <usr13> !nfs | reachingperfecti
[06:40] <hexacode> im getting a headache trying to install apache with php5, can someon ehelp?   i feel like ubuntu has changed something...i used to do a simple apt-get install apache2, php5, libapache2-mod-php5   and now it doesnt even work on ubuntu anymore
[06:40] <qin> aple: Looks ok
[06:40] <aple> qin: Now I'm an uber l33t hax0r :D
[06:40] <aple> Thanks for your help
[06:40] <sp4z> hi all
[06:40] <hexacode> not only has ubuntu changed things, but they took out the init.d daemon for php5 it seems
[06:40] <usr13> hexacode: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed?
[06:40] <irc2samus> glebihan, I've installed Chromium it does not have the problem when set as the preferred web browser
[06:40] <irc2samus> only Firefox :/
[06:41] <hexacode> usr13 10.04 lts
[06:41] <aple> How do I copy/paste from/to Win7/Ubuntu(virtualbox)?
[06:41] <glebihan> irc2samus, and the problem is still there when you switch back to firefox ?
[06:41] <usr13> aple:  to ____________?
[06:41] <irc2samus> glebihan, yes
[06:41] <urlin2u> boomernang00, you want it labled, it mounts through fstab.
[06:41] <usr13> aple: Oh well, I don't know.  Not sure, but I don't think you can.
[06:42] <sp4z> is there a version of ubuntu which doesn't come with extra apps installed (bloatware) all i really need is gnome, gedit, basic system apps etc
[06:42] <usr13> aple: Waht exactly are you trying to do?
[06:42] <reachingperfecti> usr13:thanks budd
[06:42] <reachingperfecti> ubottu: thanks budd
[06:42] <usr13> reachingperfecti: NP
[06:42] <urlin2u> sp4z, get the minimal.
[06:42] <glebihan> irc2samus, then it must be something with firefox settings... but I dont' see what it could be. Maybe you could try creating a new profile in firefox, define it as default and see if it's still the same
[06:42] <usr13> !ubottu | reachingperfecti
[06:43] <irc2samus> :D sec I'll try
[06:43] <sp4z> urlin2u, sorry haven't had ubuntu for a while, could you be a little more specific?
[06:44] <irc2samus> glebihan, new profile, same issue :(
[06:44] <urlin2u> sp4z, there is a minimal ISO net install you have more control look it up.
[06:44] <sp4z> urlin2u, cheers will do
[06:44] <sp4z> exit
[06:44] <crimsonmane> is there a place to leave suggestions for ubuntu beta?
[06:44] <irc2samus> now I'm really puzzled, that number doesn't even look like a PID or anything
[06:44] <aple> usr13: I'm trying to copy stuff either from or to, either Windows7 or Ubuntu(virtualbox) seamlessly.
[06:45] <irc2samus> and it's always the same, don't know if after a reboot it might change
[06:45] <usr13> !minimal | sp4z
[06:45] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, #ubuntu+1 is the oneiric channel they may know.
[06:45] <glebihan> irc2samus, unlikely. Then again, all of this is very strange
[06:45] <crimsonmane> ty urlin2u
[06:45] <irc2samus> indeed
[06:45] <usr13> aple: Files?
[06:46] <glebihan> irc2samus, you may be better off just setting a shortcut to firefox instead of web browser
[06:46] <irc2samus> yeah, it's not a big deal I'll be using FF anyway
[06:46] <irc2samus> thank you guys!
[06:47] <usr13> aple: Not sure, but this looks interesting:  http://maketecheasier.com/share-files-in-virtualbox-between-vista-guest-ubuntu-host/2008/11/12
[06:48] <usr13> irc2samus: Are you in Unity?
[06:48] <irc2samus> usr13, yeah
[06:49] <usr13> irc2samus: And you just dont' want to use the mouse?
[06:49] <aple> usr13: Not files, just text Clipboard
[06:49] <aple> Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V
[06:49] <urlin2u> usr13, old news sharing is easy in virtualbax.
[06:49] <irc2samus> usr13, I barely do
[06:50] <irc2samus> (shortcut-to-command works perfectly ftr)
[06:51] <usr13> irc2samus: Are you running MS Windows via VirtualBox?
[06:51] <usr13> irc2samus: In other words, you've booted into Ubuntu and are running MS Windows via Virtualbox?
[06:51] <urlin2u> usr13, sorry mised that pointed at another.
[06:51] <usr13> Right?
[06:52] <irc2samus> usr13, no, not at all
[06:52] <nastjuid> Hey all, it seems like a long shot, considering googling hasn't turned anything up, but does anyone know where I might find a mirror for jaunty? for my apt sources?
[06:52] <usr13> irc2samus: How are you running it?
[06:53] <irc2samus> usr13, I boot to it directly (you sure you don't mixed the conversation? I think there's another guy asking for VB)
[06:53] <irc2samus> s/don't/didn't/
[06:53] <usr13> Oh sorry
[06:53] <irc2samus> np :)
[06:53] <usr13> that was for aple
[06:53] <usr13> I've got to go now anyway.  See you all later...
[06:56] <urlin2u> nastjuid, can't find the end of life mirrors, what keeps you from just installing lucid or beyond?
[06:56] <ronin___> Hi
[06:57] <ronin___> How can I get ubuntu 11.10
[06:57] <ronin___> I wanna test it?
[06:57] <somsip> !11.10 | ronin___
[06:57] <nastjuid> urlin2u: It's for my router/firewall. I've been using a script that I found called iptables-control for a long time. I tried to upgrade a ways back, but the script broke, and since it's my only NAT box for home, i couldn't have it down long enough to fix the script.
[06:58] <ronin___> I wanna fix bug
[06:58] <ronin___> If I can do it
[06:58] <nastjuid> urlin2u: I tried using the command line dist upgrade, but it said it can't upgrade using the cli. I plan on just writing my own script sometime in the near future, but I was hoping to hang onto the current system configuration for just a few more weeks
[06:59] <somsip> ronin___: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu
[06:59] <aple> How do I copy/paste text between Win7 and Ubuntu(virtualbox)?
[06:59] <ronin___> somsip: I read it, now i wanna download 11.10 and install it
[07:00] <urlin2u> nastjuid, this might help. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[07:00] <somsip> ronin___: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[07:00] <nastjuid> urlin2u: I was planning on just biting the bullet and doing it tonight, but wife is watching stuff on Roku player and I dare not risk angering she which cares for me.
[07:00] <nastjuid> urlin2u: thanks, I'll give it a read
[07:01] <urlin2u> nastjuid, sounds like a plan don't irritate the ones you love any more than needed. :D
[07:03] <mutley89> aple: ctrl-c, then ctrl-v  works for me with xp in a virtualbox
[07:03] <nastjuid> urlin2u: IT'S A MIRACLE. THANK YOU!
[07:04] <urlin2u> nastjuid, cool wasn't sure.
[07:04] <getlikeme> is there a way to recursively symlink a series of files in a folder?
[07:04] <nastjuid> urlin2u: well, it updated, so i'm still crossing my fingers
[07:04] <getlikeme> i tried this 'ln -s /path/to/folder/*'
[07:04] <getlikeme> and it then it symlinks folder
[07:05] <getlikeme> but when i try adding to git, git apparently doesn't allow you to add files in the symlink folder
[07:05] <getlikeme> just the symlink itself
[07:05] <nastjuid> urlin2u: yup, there it goes. old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ . Again, thank you, thank you, thank you
[07:05] <nastjuid> until next time, gentlepeople.
[07:05] <urlin2u> nastjuid, your welcome. :D
[07:06] <getlikeme> so short of symlinking one-by-one, is there a way to symlink recursively all files in a folder?
[07:07] <Lasers> getlikeme: Use a bash loop command -- That could work. (I don't know how myself).
[07:07] <getlikeme> screw it, i just did it by hand. enough bikeshedding already
[07:07] <getlikeme> or is it called yak-shaving
[07:07] <ronin___> somsip: THX
[07:07] <getlikeme> it's just 5 files dammit, no need for a for loop
[07:07] <getlikeme> thx anyways, i guess
[07:08] <somsip> getlikeme: I'd go with a short bash script. Apropos of: for file in path; ln -s path/$file $file
[07:08] <somsip> ronin___: np
[07:15] <ozot> :)
[07:22] <anth0ny> so, considering changing my symbolic link "python" to run python2.7 instead of python2.6.  Will this cause my OS (ubuntu 10.04) to explode?
[07:22] <itilious> what ports do i need open for hp printer drivers to work on ubuntu 10.10?
[07:22] <jnsl_> This is really driving me nuts, advice much appreciated! I need to convert flv files to: webm, ogv and mp4. So far i have installed Miro, which can convert from flv to mp4, but not the other two. On the web i read that miro can in fact convert to webm and ogv, so i guess i'am missing some codec's or something ?
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> itilious: are you connecting to a network printer? Are you wanting to share a printer?
[07:23] <aple> mutley89: Win7 <-> Ubuntu(vb) copy/paste doesn't work for me.. :(
[07:23] <itilious> i can only use it successfully when i disable firestarter,, i have already opened cups
[07:23] <urlin2u> itilious, install the driver.
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> jnsl_: look into mencoder and/or ffmpeg
[07:23] <itilious> ActionParsnip, i installed driver and connect via wifi to printer ok,,, only when firestarter is disabled though
[07:23] <melle> Hi all, i saw that the Dell Vostro 3700 is ubuntu certified (http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201001-4961:201004-5579). Currently I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and hence, the NVidia card isn't working out of the box (got bumblebee though). Does Ubuntu 11.04 have the same problem? Or should I consider updating?
[07:24] <jnsl_> ActionParsnip has the same problem, no ogv and webm
[07:24] <jnsl_> err ffmpeg has *
[07:24] <itilious> ActionParsnip, i also opened cups port for firestarter but still hp drivers seem to need something else open because it still will not work when firewall is on
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> itilious: possibly 161427 and 137 UDP
[07:25] <mutley89> aple: there is an option on the virtualbox manager gui under the settings for each virtual machine, under general - advanced called shared clipboard, is this set?
[07:25] <rww> melle: given that there aren't any certification notes for 11.04, I'd consider updating
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> itilious: http://www.avgforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=621
[07:25] <itilious> ActionParsnip, 161427?
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> itilious: yeah, on seconds read, not quite right
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> itilious: could just cheat and allow the system to transmit and recieve ANY data on ANY port to and from the IP of the printer
[07:28] <itilious> ActionParsnip, so i need to add "161, 427" to my open port rule in firestarter?
[07:28] <rockguy32> I'm currently installing Windows 7 on my dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows machine. The Ubuntu hard drive is the boot drive and GRUB has not been touched by this installation (I have made sure of that). Although the boot option for Windows XP works fine to launch the newly installed 7, how can I change it so it says Windows 7 instead of XP in the list?
[07:28] <itilious> ActionParsnip, i did add the printer static ip and still it does not work
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> itilious: possibly, that link seems groovy though
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> itilious: your printer manual may tell you
[07:29] <Phylock> rockguy32 - did you update the grub file??
[07:29] <urlin2u> rockguy32, it will be W7 the XP will be the hard one to boot I used easybcd to get it in the W7 bootmenu.
[07:29] <rockguy32> I was under the impression that this had changed with the new GRUB
[07:30] <rockguy32> Windows XP has been replaced by 7. 7 is launched by the XP option in the GRUB menu. It was an upgrade, not an additional installation.
[07:30] <melle> rww: thanks!
[07:30] <Phylock> rockguy32 - regenerate is maybe a better word, run "update-grub"
[07:31] <urlin2u> rockguy32, W7 will take over the boot it may have xp already in its menu I had a W7 then XP actualyy.
[07:32] <urlin2u> rockguy32, in other words you will see at grub Ubuntu and windows 7 when yo choose windows seven a boot for it or Xp will be next.
[07:32] <rockguy32> Windows 7 did not take over the boot. After it restarted to apply changes, GRUB came up just fine. My Windows installation is on an entirely separate drive from Ubuntu and GRUB is housed on the Ubuntu drive.
[07:33] <rockguy32> Windows XP is no longer there, as it has been upgraded to 7. The XP option in the list launches the 7 installation. I just want to rename it so it says Windows 7 instead of XP.
[07:33] <urlin2u> rockguy32, I used easybcd to get the xp ion the W7 boot, you can run a bootscript for us to lok to see how the windows have intertwined the boot.
[07:34] <rockguy32> Is the update-grub command still functional in the newest version of GRUB because I was under the impression it was replaced by something else.
[07:35] <Jordan_U> rockguy32: update-grub still works.
[07:35] <rockguy32> Ok, and will it detect that Windows XP is now called WIndows 7?
[07:36] <Jordan_U> rockguy32: It should, yes.
[07:36] <urlin2u> rockguy32, if you run this script and pastebin the RESULTS.text we can see the MS boot. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[07:36] <rockguy32> I can't at the moment, it's finishing installation.
[07:37] <urlin2u> rockguy32, it may be as simple as a update-grub though.
[07:37] <rockguy32> ok well I'll have to wait until the installation finishes and I can reboot before I get the chance to try.
[07:37] <dr_willis> if its just the grub menu itmes names thars wrong you can tweak that.
[07:38] <rockguy32> Well that was my original question.
[07:38] <dr_willis> see the grub2 wiki and firum posts
[07:38] <dr_willis> !grub2
