[07:46] <Ben64> noyb: when you use pastebin, it brings you to a page where your paste is, you need to paste that page link into here for someone to see it
[07:48] <noyb> obviously "screwed it up again" is the correct answer.  How does one do that?  another stupid noob question.  sorry.
[07:51] <Blauskae1M> You mean so that we others can se your pastebin?
[07:51] <Blauskae1M> see*
[07:51] <Ben64> noyb: I just described it, "noyb: when you use pastebin, it brings you to a page where your paste is, you need to paste that page link into here for someone to see it"
[07:54] <noyb> Ben64... please tell me that I did something right...  http://paste.ubuntu.com/827363/

[07:56] <dies_irae> youtube files look like this --> -rw-rw-r--
[07:57] <coolstar-ipod> !android | dies_irae

[07:58] <Ben64> Funhouse: find <directory> | wc -l
[07:58] <dies_irae> coolstar-ipod: uh?
[07:58] <dies_irae> the file is on ubuntu
[07:58] <coolstar-ipod> dies_irae: can Ubuntu read the file?
[07:59] <noyb> Ben64... http://paste.ubuntu.com/827379/
[07:59] <coolstar-ipod> dies_irae: try opening the file
[07:59] <coolstar-ipod> noyb: what issue are you having?

[08:02] <dies_irae> damn weird
[08:02] <dies_irae> fer realz
[08:03] <coolstar-ipod> dies_irae: it's probably a transfer issue and not a fs one
[08:03] <dies_irae> yep
[08:04] <dRounse> can someone help me set up a computer?
[08:04] <coolstar-ipod> Ben64: he seems to have a /dev/sr0
[08:05] <Ben64> coolstar-ipod: yep
[08:05] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: please be specific
[08:05] <xro> Hi, i have a soft that is locked because of a -->   recvfrom(5,     can i unlock it with a signal?
[08:06] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: i have a computer that came from a school and i cant install ubuntu or any distro other than puppy linux....
[08:06] <osmosis> anyone know how to troubleshoot courier-imap saying  Error in IMAP command received by server.
[08:07] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: why cant you? You should be able to erase the hdd and install any Debian based linux
[08:07] <mufflon> dRounse: what way of installing you choosed?
[08:08] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: im not sure.... im using unetbootin because i dont want a disk drive as it will be a mythtv backend and it hangs on a page for 15 minutes.... the usb boots but wont go to livecd
[08:08] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: what do you see on the screen as the USB "boots"?
[08:08] <dRounse> ive used unetbootin before to set up other computers but this wont work
[08:09] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: its got the normal unetbootin screen with the install, try it before installing, etc...
[08:09] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: try using the startup disk creator from Ubuntu on another pc
[08:10] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: I prefer it over unetbootin personally
[08:10] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: well i tried with the disk originally but i cant install any distro.... opensuse, fedora, or arch
[08:11] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: what problem do you get? Kernel Panic or something else?
[08:13] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: idk exactly what that is... it got stuck on a page with error type codes like this, [4.043879]
[08:13] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: then it said BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer deference at 00000001
[08:14] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: were the scroll and caps lock blinking
[08:14] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: no
[08:15] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: ok. It's not a kernel panic, but a different problem
[08:15] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: do you know what it is?
[08:16] <bullgard4> Description of the DEB program package »libtelepathy-logger2«: "This package contains a utility library to access Telepathy log files." What is a »utility library«?
[08:16] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: just wondering, did you try running memtest86?
[08:16] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: no, but i can do that
[08:17] <theadmin> bullgard4: Probably just some crazy name xD I suppose it's just a lib for accessing log files nothing more
[08:17] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: try that. We can see if it's a RAM or other issue then
[08:17] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: well the only os it has been able to boot is puppy linux
[08:18] <mufflon> dRounse: what kernel do you use?
[08:19] <dRounse> mufflon: i really dont know
[08:20] <bullgard4> theadmin: Your explanation makes sense to me. Thank you very much for explaining and your help.
[08:21] <senayar> what intel driver can i use for best performence into game ? since the last update the 3D is really fucked :(
[08:21] <theadmin> bullgard4: No problem, uh...
[08:21] <theadmin> !language | senayar
[08:21] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: its just an old gateway from a school, so could they have something preventing me from booting a diff os
[08:21] <senayar> sorry :o
[08:22] <theadmin> dRounse: How old? Is the processor i686-compatible? If not, Ubuntu won't boot and that's no big surprise
[08:22] <SimeonK> hi, how can i access chroot folders from the parent os?
[08:22] <dRounse> theadmin: its a pentium 4
[08:22] <dRounse> theadmin: im not sure maybe 8 years i think
[08:23] <theadmin> dRounse: Meh that won't work, sorry, we don't have i386 support... Try something else :(
[08:23] <dRounse> theadmin: aww that stinks, i wanted it as a mythtv backend :(
[08:24] <iceroot> dRounse: a pentium 4 should work
[08:24] <iceroot> dRounse: it must be i586 or higher (imo)
[08:24] <cybermorpher> Excuse me!? can somebody help me setting up a VPN on ubuntu 10.04?
[08:24] <dRounse> iceroot: how can i tell?
[08:24] <theadmin> iceroot: Isn't Pentium 4 i386?... Or am I messing something up?
[08:24] <iceroot> theadmin: no
[08:25] <iceroot> theadmin: even cyrix 233mmx was i586
[08:25] <theadmin> iceroot: Oh, eh, soz
[08:25] <iceroot> cyrix 233mhz with mmx
[08:25] <mufflon> theadmin: installing on P4 is possible
[08:25] <theadmin> mmk guess I'm just stupid
[08:25] <theadmin> Sorry
[08:25] <dRounse> theadmin: its ok
[08:25] <iceroot> also amd k6 foobar is i586
[08:26] <dRounse> iceroot: do you know why it wont boot a usb
[08:26] <theadmin> dRounse: Probably no BIOS support for that?
[08:26] <iceroot> dRounse: what means "wont boot usb" no option in bios?
[08:26] <theadmin> dRounse: Or the kernel is configured without USB boot support? (not the case with Ubuntu's default though)
[08:27] <coolstar-ipod> theadmin: he can boot a USB. It just won't boot _properly_
[08:27] <cybermorpher> Can somebody help me set a VPN on 10.04 please!?
[08:27] <theadmin> coolstar-ipod: Ahh, okay, I see.
[08:27] <dRounse> iceroot: i can boot from usb but it wont boot to a desktop it hangs on a page with what looks like error codes
[08:27] <theadmin> !patience | cybermorpher
[08:27] <iceroot> dRounse: the errors are interesting for us
[08:27] <iceroot> !vpn | cybermorpher
[08:28] <coolstar-ipod> cybermorpher: try openvpn. I don't support 10.04 myself though.
[08:28] <cybermorpher> Um...
[08:28] <coolstar-ipod> cybermorpher: try the #openvpn channel
[08:28] <dRounse> iceroot: [4.043879] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer deference at 00000001
[08:28] <iceroot> dRounse: ah yes
[08:28] <cybermorpher> Will try thnx :0
[08:28] <iceroot> dRounse: had the same issue
[08:29] <iceroot> dRounse: what ubuntu version?
[08:29] <karstenk1977_> good morning together
[08:29] <dRounse> iceroot: the newest, well i was trying lubuntu
[08:29] <dRounse> iceroot: 11.10
[08:30] <iceroot> dRounse: ok, i had the same error-message long time before (8.04) the reason was there was a bug in the kernel delivered with the cd, the kernel from the repos was fine. my workaround was "using the minimal iso which is pulling the latest kernel from the repos"
[08:30] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: try Kubuntu or Xubuntu
[08:30] <iceroot> coolstar-ipod: they all use the same kernel by default on cd
[08:31] <iceroot> dRounse: maybe you could try the minimal-iso workaround
[08:31] <iceroot> !minimal | dRounse
[08:31] <dRounse> iceroot: but ive tried different distros
[08:31] <karstenk1977_> I have crashed my ubuntu webserver. Now i have made a restore of the whole data in a seperate directory. How can I setup my server with the restored data? only copy in the old directorys?
[08:31] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: you also stored the file-permissions/owner?
[08:32] <karstenk1977_> it looks like so
[08:32] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: or do all files no belong to the same user?
[08:32] <dRounse> the problem is... would it really happen multiple times with different distros
[08:32] <karstenk1977_> look like every user is the correct one
[08:32] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: ok, i would boot the server with a live-cd, mount the hdd and copy all files back
[08:33] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: it may also work without a live-cd if you can boot the server still
[08:33] <karstenk1977_> its a root-server
[08:33] <mufflon> dRounse: some minutes ago you wrote: usb boots but wont go to live cd. what do u mean?
[08:33] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: you can also try asking in ##linux as since it is affecting more than one distro it is a Linux issue in general
[08:33] <HermanDE> Anybody have a working tproxy server?
[08:33] <dRounse> mufflon: i meant a live environment sorry
[08:33] <mufflon> ah ok
[08:33] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: stay here though. We may find a solution ;)
[08:33] <iceroot> dRounse: also it would be a good idea to fill a bug against the package "linux"
[08:34] <Yusuke> Hello, i tried to ' sudo apt-get install python-qt4 qt4-designer' , but gave me error : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/827397/
[08:34] <karstenk1977_> I cannot mount anything other as the crashed old webserver
[08:34] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: ok ill stay here
[08:34] <karstenk1977_> it is a v-server by hosteurope
[08:34] <mufflon> it seems that there is a missing hardware-driver, perhaps u have to patch the kernel
[08:34] <dRounse> is there anyway i can send you guys a picture of the screen i have a pic here
[08:34] <iceroot> dRounse: you should give the minimal-iso method a try
[08:34] <iceroot> !picture | dRounse
[08:35] <iceroot> !screenshot | dRounse
[08:35] <dRounse> iceroot: i have tried the netinstall multiple times
[08:35] <iceroot> dRounse: ok, did you also try 12.04? just to see of the issue is fixed in the latest ubuntu-kernel
[08:36] <mufflon> dRounse: is it possible to launch a terminal?
[08:36] <dRounse> iceroot: i have not, i was told in the forums that it wasnt stable enough :/
[08:36] <TheYsNoi> has someone tested the alpha 2 release?
[08:36] <iceroot> TheYsNoi: #ubuntu+1
[08:36] <iceroot> dRounse: its not stable, yes. its just to see if your issue is fixed there
[08:36] <coolstar-ipod> dRouse: does CTRL+ALT+F1 get you a terminal?
[08:36] <TheYsNoi> thanks..
[08:36] <karstenk1977_> Can I reboot in a mode that i can copy the restored files back?
[08:37] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: any mode is ok but a live-cd and then mount your hdd is best
[08:37] <karstenk1977_> cannot mound a cd
[08:37] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: i didnt try i only have one monitor so i have to wait till im done here
[08:38] <dRounse> http://imagebin.org/197044
[08:38] <dRounse> theres the link^^
[08:38] <Yusuke> Hello, i tried to ' sudo apt-get install python-qt4 qt4-designer' , but gave me error : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/827397/
[08:38] <theadmin> Yusuke: You need to run a system upgrade
[08:39] <theadmin> Yusuke: (most likely)
[08:39] <Yusuke> ok
[08:39] <iceroot> dRounse: can you name me the exact version of the laptop? hp vp15xxx?
[08:39] <possible1994> My Motorola bluetooth headset works fine, but my Plantronics one fails to connect.
[08:40] <dRounse> iceroot: its a gateway desktop
[08:40] <dRounse> iceroot: heres the model number
[08:40] <possible1994> Is there a way to specify a pin to access a BT device?
[08:40] <dRounse> iceroot: (AK) MFATXHRN MDP E 4100
[08:41] <iceroot> dRounse: the name on the screen, your scrrenshot is only showing hp vp15  is there more?
[08:41] <dRounse> iceroot: thats my monitor
[08:42] <iceroot> dRounse: ah ok, i thought its a laptop
[08:42] <possible1994> Is there a way I can test a different driver for my BT, (I've already tried several snapshots of what is standard)
[08:43] <dRounse> iceroot:
[08:43] <dRounse> iceroot: http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/E4100_Series/2800471/2800471nv.shtml
[08:44] <iceroot> dRounse: can you please try 12.04? on launchpad it seems the bug is fixed in 12.04 directly and in 11.10 after the latest dist-upgrade. or use 10.04.3 (the latest version of 10.04)
[08:44] <iceroot> for all other releases its fixed after the latest dist-upgrade
[08:45] <iceroot> if this is the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/601226
[08:45] <dRounse> iceroot: so should i install 12.04 or 10.04.3
[08:45] <iceroot> dRounse: please just try to boot 12.04
[08:46] <iceroot> dRounse: no need to install, just boot the live-version
[08:46] <dRounse> iceroot: ok lemme download it
[08:46] <iceroot> do we have point-releases for non-lts version? LIKE 11.10.2?
[08:47] <karstenk1977_> how should i restore the data? with cp or mv?
[08:47] <dRounse> iceroot: download started
[08:47] <karstenk1977_> from restore directory in original
[08:48] <dRounse> iceroot: if it boots to a live version should i install then downgrade?
[08:48] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: cp -pr  (if i get the manpage correctly)
[08:48] <iceroot> dRounse: no
[08:48] <iceroot> dRounse: this is just for debugging
[08:48] <dRounse> iceroot: ok
[08:48] <iceroot> dRounse: thank you for your time about that
[08:48] <iceroot> dRounse: if it is working we will find a solution
[08:48] <dRounse> iceroot: what if this doesnt work
[08:49] <iceroot> dRounse: then i guess a better debug is needed
[08:49] <dRounse> iceroot: almost done downloading
[08:51] <karstenk1977_> is there a order to stop all services?
[08:52] <cristian_c> Hi
[08:52] <karstenk1977_> sory a command?
[08:52] <karstenk1977_> a command to kill all processes
[08:52] <cristian_c> I'm using Oneiric Ocelot 11.10, I purchased an asus WL-330gE. The device shields the connection to the router, unfortunately I have to first establish a direct connection to the router, and then the computer automatically snaps to a repeater. But if the PC tries to connect to the router via the repeater, it fails
[08:53] <theadmin> karstenk1977_: Err... "poweroff"
[08:53] <karstenk1977_> ;-)
[08:53] <karstenk1977_> without the kernel
[08:53] <dns53> karstenk1977_ init 0
[08:53] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: live-cd is the only way to have them stopped all and still a running system
[08:53] <cristian_c> the network manager tries to connect several times, but it fails to connect. So I updated the firmware to the latest version, from version <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS>, but unfortunately the problem persists
[08:53] <cristian_c> What can I do to solve the problem?
[08:53] <dRounse> karstenk1977_: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-controlling-access-to-linux-services.html
[08:53] <karstenk1977_> but i told you that i cannot mount any cd
[08:54] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: and i told you its ok to have them running but a live-cd would be better
[08:55] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: but you have a broken server and a backup, what should happen? the server even more broken?
[08:55] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: if you still have the backup, everything is fine
[08:56] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: the most important thing is NOT to change the file-owners/permissions
[08:56] <karstenk1977_> ok, iceroot i will try the most services i could stop
[08:56] <goddard> cds are old school
[08:56] <dRounse> goddard: floppys are old school
[08:56] <karstenk1977_> yes you are right, i cannot broke any more
[08:57] <goddard> dRounse: cds are the new old school
[08:57] <iceroot> or dvds/blu-rays...
[08:57] <dRounse> iceroot: ill be back im gonna try 12.04
[08:57] <iceroot> dRounse: would be great to get your feedback on that
[08:58] <goddard> dRounse: we got sd cards and flash storage not to mention streaming and cloud services
[08:59] <puta1234321> hi
[09:01] <dRounse> iceroot: no luck
[09:03] <iceroot> dRounse: is it possible for you to disable everything in the bios which is not needed?
[09:03] <iceroot> dRounse: bluetooth, serial port and so on
[09:04] <dRounse> iceroot: ill try... what if i flashed new bios or updated it
[09:05] <iceroot> dRounse: if that is possible for you its also a good idea
[09:05] <dRounse> iceroot: ive never done that im a  bit nervous
[09:06] <iceroot> dRounse: for the bios-update i would suggest the hardware-channel ##hardware  maybe they have some usefull tipps for you
[09:08] <MrKeuner> hi, I have written a host A record updater for my laptop. Where should I put that script for best performance? /etc/NetworkManager/dispatch.d or somewhere else?
[09:09] <ikonia> best performance ?
[09:09] <ikonia> just put it in your /etc/host file ?
[09:10] <MrKeuner> for fastest updating the A record upon ip change
[09:10] <MrKeuner> ikonia, updating DNS record for the WAN
[09:10] <jyfl987> a question, i have a public vps for a groups, now how can i talk with them ?
[09:10] <jyfl987> like in irc?
[09:11] <theadmin> jyfl987: That's offtopic here -_- Unless you are running the server. Then try setting up an IRC or an XMPP server, I guess.
[09:11] <ikonia> MrKeuner: most dhcp servers will update the dns records when they assign it
[09:12] <MrKeuner> I see noip2 is in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d for instance
[09:12] <theadmin> ikonia: No, update a DNS record from a DynDNS service for a dynamic IP, that's what (s)he wants.
[09:12] <ikonia> oooh
[09:12] <jyfl987> theadmin: i have read some article about how ealer hacker talk with each other in a machine
[09:12] <MrKeuner> theadmin, correct
[09:13] <ikonia> MrKeuner: well you won't get a performance boost from any message, the dns's servers expire time, cache time will be the deciding factor
[09:13] <ikonia> "method"
[09:13] <cowpatty> good morning, need help selecting print drivers.   may i post a cut and paste of the 3 choices?
[09:14] <MrKeuner> ikonia, right, but I'd like to do the best I can

[09:14] <ProGimp>  Is it possible to shrink the icon docks in 11.10 ?
[09:15] <MrKeuner> I can run the script every 5 minutes but, if I can also run it when I get a new ip for instance that would be better
[09:15] <ikonia> MrKeuner: as I've said there isn't a "best you can" method, do what ever works for you, however the response will depend on the dns server
[09:15] <randomDude> Prohimp, yes
[09:15] <ProGimp> How?
[09:15] <randomDude> ProGimp*
[09:15] <ProGimp> Yes?
[09:15] <randomDude> ProGimp, install compizconfig-settings-manager , then scroll to look for the unity plugin
[09:16] <ProGimp> OK. Thanks.
[09:16] <randomDude> ProGimp, it may or may not work the first time around. so try a reboot if it doesn't
[09:16] <MrKeuner> ikonia, assume that ttl 60 seconds and the dns server honor that value than there is better i can do in terms of notifying my authoritative dns
[09:17] <ikonia> MrKeuner: not really, and no public dns server would have that value as it would be blacklisted
[09:17] <MrKeuner> ikonia, dyndns subdomains have 60 seconds ttl
[09:17] <MrKeuner> and at least my isp dns honors that

[09:18] <theadmin> !repeat | cowpatty
[09:19] <cowpatty> thank you for the protocal
[09:19] <ikonia> cowpatty: you've been asked to not flood the channel, and you've just done it again, do you understand to not do that
[09:19] <ikonia> cowpatty: posting that information is useless, you need to ask a question explaining your problem
[09:20] <possible1994> How can I specify a passkey PIN code to my BT device when bluetooth manager never gives me that option?
[09:21] <ikonia> possible1994: the remote device normally is where the pass code is set, not the ubuntu client
[09:21] <possible1994> ikonia, Ah ok, well it keeps failing to connect. It detects it, and its MAC, but fails to connect.
[09:21] <cowpatty> how do i avoid flooding?  i found pastebin, but do not understand what to do after pasteing into pastebin.
[09:22] <possible1994> I've googled for an hour, I can't take it anymore
[09:23] <MrKeuner> possible1994, are you sure it is asking for one? some bt devices don't
[09:23] <dns53> possible1994 what type of device?  is the device in a pairing or discoverable mode?
[09:24] <tex> Hello
[09:24] <tex> !list
[09:24] <possible1994> MrKeuner, I don't believe it does, but I've moved onto desperate measures
[09:25] <MrKeuner> possible1994, what bt device is it
[09:26] <i_is_broke> cowpatty, paste the url in here of the pastebin page
[09:26] <possible1994> dns53, A Plantronics voyager pro headset, and yes I have placed it in discoverable mode. My laptop detects it and its MAC, but fails to connect, sometimes saying "connection refused"
[09:28] <heisenmink> I have a script in /etc/rc.local that isn't run as often as I'd like. Is there any file that is run every time one logs in?
[09:28] <dns53> possible1994 try turning it off and on and putting it in discovery mode, i have problems with my bluetooth headset and i need to pair it just about every time
[09:32] <possible1994> dns53, Failed, and I've done that several times anyway. There's something causing my bluetooth headset to reject my laptops request to pair with it.
[09:33] <MrKeuner> possible1994, not sure how but try enabling debug mode for blues subsystem on your laptop
[09:33] <Funhouse> Ben64: thank you
[09:33] <MrKeuner> might give you more clue as to what's happening
[09:33] <dns53> possible1994 have you tried having linux forget the device?
[09:33] <dlam> whats the command to check mail?     'mail' doesnt work
[09:33] <MrKeuner> try mutt
[09:33] <dlam> im root if that matters
[09:34] <MrKeuner> dlam, doesn;t work as in command not found?
[09:34] <possible1994> dns53, as in, remove it from bluetooth manager?
[09:34] <dlam> yeah,  "bash: mail: command not found"
[09:34] <dlam> dunno if its different in debian distros or something O_O
[09:35] <MrKeuner> dlam, apt-get install mailutils
[09:35] <Ben64> it is in /usr/bin/mail for me
[09:36] <osmosis> When I am in unity, on my second monitor...i am unable to access any of the drop down menus on the top bar...the menus are scatter. It is unusable. Does anyone know of a fix for this???
[09:36] <dlam> MrKeuner: ahh that did it
[09:37] <Guest92416> I switched the lightdm background picture in the file /etc/lightdm/unitysomething to a costum picture (the path is correct). but the picture doesn't load up and i get a black background
[09:37] <wisnia> !controls
[09:37] <dns53> possible1994 yes
[09:37] <possible1994> dns53, Yes I've tried that.
[09:38] <kalimojo> hi im looking for the software sources application. i dont have a system->administration launcher. where can i find this app ?
[09:38] <stephane_yaal> #yaal
[09:39] <MrKeuner> kalimojo, gksu /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk
[09:39] <possible1994> Oh how I wish I could pair this bluetooth device.
[09:40] <MrKeuner> possible1994, did you already check bluetooth subsystem debug notice? also trying increasing its verbosity level
[09:40] <bouma> why cant i install kbibtex in oneric ?
[09:40] <possible1994> MrKeuner, I don't know how to check the subsystem debug notice
[09:41] <bouma> it doesnt show in synaptic, and apt-get says its only referred to by another package
[09:42] <dns53> possible1994 have you restarted your machine? i once crashed the bluetooth daemon and it would not work untill i restarted the machine
[09:43] <possible1994> dns53, Yes, that actually is a reported bug
[09:43] <kalimojo> thanks mrkeuner
[09:44] <MrKeuner> welcome
[09:45] <scarleo_> bouma, doesnt seem to exist in oneiric, it was in natty and seems to get in in Precise again, don't know why
[09:45] <MrKeuner> possible1994, try running /usr/bin/bluetooth-properties in a terminal and see if that creates a meaningful error message when pairing is rejected
[09:45] <scarleo_> bouma, you can probably try to install either natty or precise version
[09:46] <scarleo_> bouma, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kbibtex
[09:47] <possible1994> MrKeuner, That's a nonexistent directory
[09:48] <MrKeuner> possible1994, ok, thats where it is on Lucid
[09:49] <bouma> scarleo_: what about https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+package/kbibtex
[09:50] <possible1994> Is /usr/src/foo a directory containing source code files?
[09:51] <scarleo_> bouma, so, just install it then, don't know why the pages say different things, either way is fine I guess
[09:51] <artao> hello
[09:51] <artao> anyone live?
[09:51] <dns53> welcome
[09:52] <artao> thx
[09:52] <artao> i've got a question re: ubuntu studio distro
[09:52] <artao> can i run it off usb key or does it require a full install?
[09:52] <dns53> you do not need permission to ask a question, just ask it (all on one line if possible)
[09:53] <bouma> scarleo_: well as i tried to explain, synaptic doesnt show it, and apt-get gives the error as stated
[09:53] <dario_> list
[09:53] <dario_> \list
[09:53] <MrKeuner> good night friends
[09:54] <artao> is anyone here even familiar with ubuntu studio?
[09:54] <dario_> !list
[09:54] <scarleo_> bouma, are you n 32 or 64 ?
[09:54] <dns53> artao there may be someone here, they do have their own room
[09:54] <bouma> scarleo_: 64
[09:55] <scarleo_> bouma, on tthis page grab the .deb under "Downloadable files" https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/amd64/kbibtex/<IP_ADDRESS>-1
[09:56] <bouma> scarleo_: will that update ?
[09:56] <bouma> scarleo_: I mean will it stay uptodate with the update manager?
[09:56] <dns53> artao do you have a general ubuntu question or an ubuntu-studio specific question?    you could try asking in #ubuntustudio
[09:56] <artao> ah! i had no idea, thx
[09:56] <osmosis> is there anyway to change the password strength on the generator for Revelation?
[09:56] <osmosis> is there anyway to change the password strength on the generator for Revelation password manager in gnome2?
[09:57] <artao> i'll look to see if anyone's over there .. i'd just like to try ubuntu studio .. don't know if i can run it off a usb key .. their site doesn't say
[09:57] <theadmin> artao: You can
[09:57] <scarleo_> bouma, not if it's not in your repositories
[09:57] <artao> theadmin: i CAN run it off usb key?
[09:57] <EderNauta> hi
[09:58] <Galeo> Hi. *Beginner* I'm trying to run Tor Browser Bundle on Ubuntu 10.10, but it says I ain't able to connect to the tor network, while on the other side, I can run Tor alone and beeing "connected".
[09:58] <theadmin> artao: Yeah, just use LiLi USB Creator (from Windows) or usb-creator-gtk (from Ubuntu-like Linux) or Unetbootin (from any Linux, but it sometimes fails)
[09:58] <artao> i've been using Universal USB .. i assume that's ot a problem?
[09:59] <EderNauta> artao: The best tool for run image of linux its unetbootin
[09:59] <artao> (doesn't appear to be anyone live over at #ubuntustudio)
[09:59] <theadmin> artao: Yeah, I don't think that really works
[09:59] <dario__> !list
[09:59] <damo22> what does ubuntu use for remote desktop sharing/
[09:59] <theadmin> EderNauta: Unetbootin fails with most distributions except Ubuntu, so no, that's not the *best* tool for *linux* image
[09:59] <damo22> what is the name of the program?
[09:59] <theadmin> damo22: Vinagre if I recall right
[09:59] <artao> k .. i've got unetbootin as well
[10:00] <artao> JUST figured out yesterday .. after MUCH experimentation! ... that only one or two of my usb ports is bootable ... heh
[10:00] <damo22> no vinagre is not it
[10:00] <heisenmink> is there something like .bash_login but for the graphical session login/resume?
[10:00] <artao> thx
[10:01] <theadmin> heisenmink: Depends on your desktop environment really, for Openbox it's ~/.config/openbox/autostart, for KDE it's ~/.kde4/share/Autostart and I have no idea about gnome
[10:01] <artao> could you tell me what DM/WM ubuntu studio uses and how easy/hard it is to change it?
[10:01] <heisenmink> theadmin, I'm running gnome3/ubuntu11.10"oneiric ocelot"
[10:02] <artao> i tried regular ubuntu, but don't like gnome ... now downloading kubuntu and xubuntu
[10:02] <artao> but i REALLY like all the included progs in ubuntu studio
[10:02] <heisenmink> artao, It's very easy to change yourself
[10:02] <theadmin> artao: Ubuntu Studio uses gnome if I recall right
[10:02] <artao> k
[10:02] <artao> i couldn't find in standard ubuntu (running off dvd) where/how to change the DM/WM
[10:03] <theadmin> artao: You just need to install the one you need from APT and then change on the login screen -_-
[10:03] <artao> ahhh
[10:03] <artao> ic
[10:03] <artao> i thought maybe i needed to run a command line tool
[10:04] <dns53> heisenmink  try running gnome-session-properties
[10:04] <artao> ubuntu is the only distro i've tried so far that just worked
[10:04] <artao> :D
[10:04] <artao> BUT i'd prefer to be using E17, KDE, or xfce
[10:04] <possible1994> Someone tell me how to troubleshoot a non-connecting bluetooth headset
[10:04] <EderNauta> artao: are you try KDE?
[10:05] <artao> i've tried debian/kde and linux mint kde
[10:05] <artao> debian ran faster .. mint was sluggish .. BUT i liked kde
[10:05] <EderNauta> nooo, try new kde
[10:05] <EderNauta> artao: try it kubuntu
[10:05] <heisenmink> dns53, isn't that for only bootup? or for all kinds of login?
[10:05] <artao> also had some difficulty getting dual-head display to work right
[10:06] <artao> ja, kubuntu now downloading along with xubuntu and elive
[10:06] <cristian_c> an other question:
[10:06] <artao> i got the dual screen working, but couldn't seem to change which monitor was the primary
[10:06] <artao> ubuntu got it right
[10:06] <EderNauta> my fauvorite desktop enviroment its KDE 4
[10:06] <cristian_c> I'm using lubuntu 11.10
[10:06] <dns53> heisenmink that is for applications that start with gnome3,  there is no generic way of starting applications you need to do it per desktop environment
[10:07] <cristian_c> I can not see the volume icon on the panel
[10:07] <heisenmink> dns53, my trackpad configuration is reset each time I restart my computer or go to sleep / wake or hibernate/waker
[10:07] <cristian_c> I added, but still can not see it
[10:07] <cristian_c> What can I do?
[10:08] <EderNauta> cristian_c: try to add a new... dont remember the name....
[10:09] <cristian_c> EderNauta, I've done this :(
[10:09] <EderNauta> cristian_c: clic on bar and try to add a item
[10:09] <VictorCL> how can I check what services I can use with init.d ?
[10:09] <cristian_c> EderNauta, anyone?
[10:09] <dns53> heisenmink   what do you do to fix it? run a script? a gui program?
[10:10] <EderNauta> cristian_c: in the menu bar, the pannel, clic left mouse button and add a item, search the audio icon
[10:10] <EderNauta> cristian_c: or you use gnome 3?
[10:10] <heisenmink> dns53, I have a script with "synclient x=y k=z" lines
[10:10] <cristian_c> EderNauta, I've done :(
[10:11] <cristian_c> EderNauta, no
[10:11] <EderNauta> cristian_c: why desktop you use? gnome 3 or previus gnome?
[10:11] <cristian_c> EderNauta, lxde
[10:12] <dario_> !list
[10:12] <EderNauta> cristian_c: aaam  , i dont know lxde enviroment
[10:12] <artao> it's been 6 - 8 yrs since i last maintained a linux box ... SOOO .. IIRC the DM/WM can be set per user, yes?
[10:12] <Myrtti> cristian_c: you could ask in #lubuntu?
[10:12] <llutz> artao: WM yes, DM no
[10:12] <artao> so i can have multiple users with different DM/WM so I can test performance under each,yes?
[10:12] <artao> ??
[10:13] <cristian_c> Myrtty, I'll try
[10:13] <artao> please elaborate
[10:13] <llutz> artao: a user can set his WM, but not the DM
[10:13] <artao> so if i set E17, every user has it? or is E17 a WM nowadays?
[10:13] <artao> same question re: xfce
[10:13] <llutz> artao: its a WM
[10:13] <artao> k
[10:14] <eXpander> How to check the current volume in terminal? I know one can use "amixer", but is there any similiarar to pavucontrol but for terminal?
[10:14] <llutz> artao: DMs are xdm, gdm, lightdm, kdm, slim etc.pp
[10:14] <theadmin> eXpander: alsamixer
[10:14] <artao> hm
[10:14] <artao> openbox?
[10:14] <theadmin> artao: Window manager
[10:14] <llutz> artao: wm
[10:14] <artao> huhn
[10:14] <artao> things have changed ...
[10:14] <artao> cool
[10:14] <llutz> artao: i guess you mean DE DesktopEnvironment, not DM displayManager
[10:14] <eXpander> theadmin, no, alsamixer, I want a pulseaudio mixer in terminal
[10:14] <artao> AHHH
[10:14] <theadmin> artao: DMs are login screens. DEs are window managers AND a set of some application.
[10:15] <artao> i guess so LOLZ
[10:15] <Yusuke> sigh i have even updated my system , im running on 11.04 , and yet the error still the same http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/827466/   , in my lame Windows XP i dont even need to upgrade anything
[10:15] <theadmin> artao: And a window manager is just the thing which draws the window borders
[10:15] <eXpander> does "pactl" show the current volume in %?
[10:15] <artao> .. and decorations and gadgets etc. yes?
[10:15] <artao> thx
[10:16] <artao> i think i get it now
[10:16] <artao> so i'll add ubuntu studio to my que. heh.
[10:16] <artao> gotta find something to do til all these downloads are in
[10:16] <artao> ;)
[10:16] <theadmin> artao: No, window managers don't deal with gadgets
[10:16] <artao> k. what would THAT be then?
[10:16] <Yusuke> sigh i have even updated my system , im running on 11.04 , and yet the error still the same http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/827466/   , in my lame Windows XP i dont even need to upgrade anything
[10:17] <theadmin> artao: Desktop environments. Such as Gnome, KDE, etc
[10:17] <artao> E17 and kde incude them
[10:17] <artao> aha
[10:17] <theadmin> artao: E17 is more of a desktop environment than a window manager nowadays :D
[10:17] <artao> k
[10:17] <theadmin> Yusuke: You don't have to repeat often, when someone knows someone helps
[10:17] <artao> i had a BIG problem fighting with E17 to use my dual-displays
[10:18] <theadmin> artao: Try using lxrandr
[10:18] <artao> i looked online and found that it seems E17 indeed has some issues in that area
[10:18] <artao> any advice?
[10:18] <theadmin> artao: lxrandr, it's a tool for easy monitor configuration, universal pretty much
[10:18] <artao> k .. i found something call grandr, but that didn't help a whole lot
[10:18] <artao> noted
[10:19] <Yusuke> what does "not installable" mean , if it is really not for install , then why the hell put the additional packages as required things
[10:20] <dns53> Yusuke there are packages there for transitioning between versions, package was called foo, is now called bar etc
[10:21] <Monkeypaws> Ello
[10:21] <eXpander> Hi, I tried mencoder, but it does not work, why?
[10:21] <eXpander> mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=800:height=600:fps=15:device=/dev/video0  -ovc x264 -nosound -o cam_`date +%F_%T`.avi
[10:21] <ServerSage> eXpander: Sounds like a problem for the mencoder irc channel.
[10:22] <Monkeypaws> I want to use ffmpeg or ffserver to input a stream from my ipcamera and output to a stream apache can use.  I have the input working fine, but, do i need to output a file or do i have to use ffserver to stream the output?
[10:22] <Culiforge> 10.04 is not booting after installing nvidia 8400gs, tried to boot with nomodeset with no luck, any other ideas?
[10:23] <ServerSage> Culiforge: When you say it doesn't boot, where does it stop?
[10:24] <Culiforge> ServerSage: I get a lo-res boot splash then it hangs at a loading please wait...
[10:24] <rodhash> (WW) intel(0): first get vblank counter failed: Invalid argument
[10:24] <rodhash> Hello .. does anyone know how to fix it??
[10:25] <ServerSage> Culiforge: I'm guessing it's hanging either trying to load the nvidia module, or trying to start X.  Are you familiar with grub?
[10:26] <Culiforge> ServerSage: on a beginning level I am
[10:26] <Culiforge> ServerSage: so I guess mostly no
[10:27] <theadmin> ServerSage: Are you trying to boot into the no-X mode? Append "text" to your kernel line.
[10:27] <ServerSage> theadmin: No, I was going to suggest getting rid of splash to see where it was hanging.
[10:28] <rodhash> Hi.. anyone?
[10:28] <theadmin> ServerSage: Oh, uh, just press Escape during boot. Or append "noquiet nosplash" to the line.
[10:28] <ServerSage> Culiforge: There ya go, do what theadmin just said.  :)
[10:28] <ServerSage> !ask | rodhash
[10:29] <Culiforge> so would that be the same line I appended the nomodeset to.. the boot/ linux...
[10:29] <rodhash> (WW) intel(0): first get vblank counter failed: Invalid argument
[10:29] <rodhash> Hi.. anyone?
[10:29] <rodhash> Hello .. does anyone know how to fix it??
[10:29] <ServerSage> Culiforge: Yup.  That would be the one.
[10:29] <Culiforge> ServerSage: ok, I'll be back in a couple to report then
[10:29] <ServerSage> rodhash: Aah, didn't realize you had asked already.  Just chill, if somebody knows the answer they will chime in.  Chances are nobody knows.
[10:31] <ServerSage> rodhash: Out of curiosity, is that coming from the X logs?
[10:32] <ahhughez> I cant find anything like tag and rename for ubuntu :'( ideas?
[10:32] <rodhash> ServerSage, yes.. from Xorg.0.log
[10:32] <ServerSage> rodhash: Do you get it all the time, or only when you do certain things (watch videos, play games, etc…)?
[10:33] <ServerSage> ahhughez: I think there is something called Audio Tag Tool.   I've not used it though.
[10:34] <rodhash> when I start compiz... but it started today only, and compiz and its effects becomes slow
[10:34] <ServerSage> ahhughez: Wow, never mind.  It's not been updated in a long time it would appear.
[10:34] <rodhash> ServerSage, and I've googled but found nothing
[10:34] <damo22> how do you force a recheck of a raid array, so it doesnt get marked as degraded?
[10:35] <ServerSage> ahhughez: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
[10:36] <Culiforge> ServerSage: Ok, what I saw was "cannot write .pid file /dev/initramfs.d/plymouth.pid
[10:36] <ServerSage> damo22: It's probably getting marked as degraded for a reason.  :)
[10:36] <xanax`> hello
[10:36] <Culiforge> ServerSage: or something quite like that
[10:37]  * theadmin is off. See ya everyone, hamsters to all of you %)
[10:37] <damo22> serversage: basically its raid5 with 5 disks, 1 failed badly and the spare didnt get a chance to resync fully
[10:37] <KayGridley> anyone know why on a reboot I'd lose all the ip settings on a 10.04 server?
[10:37] <ServerSage> rodhash: I found a few things talking about xorg bugs and upgrading mesa.  :/  Not sure that will help you though.
[10:37] <damo22> i want to force the loading of disk5 into the final position and get it to fire  up
[10:37] <damo22> without a spare
[10:38] <dns53> damo22 so you have not lost data but you do not have enough disks to satisfy the redundency?
[10:38] <ServerSage> damo22: So you have a RAID5, 5 disks total but one is dead and you want to pull the spare in?
[10:38] <damo22> dns53: yes
[10:39] <dns53> have you put in a spare disk?
[10:39] <cowpatty> cowpatty
[10:39] <damo22> dns53: no i have hot removed the faulty disk
[10:39] <cowpatty> format a usb drive with FAT32 file system
[10:39] <damo22> and i want to load the spare without replacing the spare
[10:39] <rodhash> ServerSage, hmm ... besides xorg is getting those erros my ubuntu is working fine, but I'd like to fix that.... but I didn't figure out how..
[10:39] <damo22> s/second spare/faulty
[10:39] <ServerSage> KayGridley: I'm not sure, but this page may help:  https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html
[10:40] <pfSenseLogs> is there a way to check which IP modified a file in a shared folder?
[10:40] <damo22> can i create a dummy loopback device and insert it as the new spare?
[10:40] <ServerSage> rodhash: I don't run a GUI at all on my linux boxes, so it's a bit outside my realm of experience.  Is your box up to date?
[10:40] <dns53> damo22 you need to rescan the disks (i'm not sure how to do this without rebooting), mark the new disk for raid, then add the disk to the existing raid array
[10:40] <KayGridley> ServerSage: thanks, just realised I'm a) a complete idiot and b) have been reading that but using the temp settings
[10:41] <KayGridley> will now go and hang head in shame
[10:41] <dns53> damo22 it will then automatically rebuild the array to the new disk
[10:41] <ServerSage> KayGridley: Hehe, we have all been there.    It has been a morning, turns out me/our tech guy forgot to put the air con back on in the server room yesterday morning
[10:42] <KayGridley> losing an ip address being a minor issue after fixing that one :)
[10:42] <ServerSage> KayGridley: Let me guess, turned it off because you were freezing standing in there working at console?  :)
[10:43] <damo22> dns53: http://pastebin.com/pDpyJdtD
[10:43] <KayGridley> ServerSage: nope, turned it off coz my boss was freezing standing there watching me work :)
[10:43] <damo22> i got it to insert the spare /dev/sdf1 as position 4 but it says clean, degraded
[10:43] <ServerSage> KayGridley: At least you can blame the boss.  :)
[10:43] <pfSenseLogs> is there a way to check which IP modified a file in a shared folder?
[10:43] <KayGridley> could have sworn we'd put it back on but the remote is a bit dodgy so I suspect I forgot to double check it had actually worked
[10:44] <ServerSage> pfSenseLogs: You can look in the logs in /var/log.
[10:44] <ServerSage> pfSenseLogs: NFS or Samba?
[10:44] <pfSenseLogs> samba
[10:44] <ServerSage> pfSenseLogs: Yup, depending on your smb.conf file you should have logs in /var/log/samba/
[10:45] <Monkeypaws> im tryin to input a mjpeg http stream from an ip camera and output to something apache can stream.  Is VLC what i need or is there a better way?
[10:45] <pfSenseLogs> what makes a difference in smb.conf?
[10:46] <ServerSage> pfSenseLogs: You can set log level, your log file, what shares are logged, etc...
[10:46] <pfSenseLogs> if nothing is set
[10:46] <dns53> damo22   so it does not know about the new disk, there is something you needed to run to mark the disk for raid and add it to the degraded array, let me google it
[10:46] <pfSenseLogs> nothgin is done?
[10:46] <pfSenseLogs> or logging is done by default
[10:46] <pfSenseLogs> ?
[10:46] <ServerSage> pfSenseLogs: I'm not sure what the default is.  You'll have to look.
[10:46] <pfSenseLogs> ok
[10:48] <damo22> dns53: do you think its a good idea to add the faulty disk as a spare, it has a lot of direct I/O buffer read sector errors
[10:48] <dns53>  damo22   it should be something like:    mdadm --manage /dev/md3 --add /dev/sdf1
[10:48] <dns53> damo22 probably not, but you can, you just need to wipe the partition table
[10:49] <ServerSage> Monkeypaws: You're asking that question in kind of the wrong channel.
[10:49] <dns53> damo22   mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdf1
[10:49] <damo22> really? on sdf1? whys that
[10:49] <obounaim> I have difficult time viewing the ubuntu developer week logs i need to scroll left and write to read and the scroll bar is at the end of the log
[10:51] <dns53> damo22 that was the disk you added?
[10:51] <damo22> dns53: yes, mdadm: Couldn't open /dev/sdf1 for write - not zeroing
[10:51] <dns53> damo22 so it is probably dead or on it's way out
[10:53] <tellone> ! path|me
[10:53] <ServerSage> !path | tellone
[10:54] <damo22> dns53: so with 3/5 disks intact and the 4th one on its way out, if i add a 5th disk will it recover?
[10:54] <ServerSage> tellone: Don't think ubottu-the-great understand path.
[10:55] <tellone> ServerSage: guess not
[10:55] <dns53> damo22 did we just kill the wrong disk?
[10:55] <Chotaz_> how can I find which processes or jobs are using a specific hdd?
[10:55] <dns53> Chotaz_ lsof
[10:55] <damo22> dns53: i dont think it wrote anything to the disk
[10:55] <tellone> is there a max-value for path length?
[10:56] <damo22> dns53: since it was part of the array
[10:56] <dns53> damo22  so /proc/mdstats still shows that it is a clean but degraded array?
[10:56] <DJones> sudo apt-get install bitlbee
[10:57] <DJones> ugh, sorry
[10:57] <damo22> dns53: md3 : active raid5 sdb1[0] sdf1[6] sde1[3] sdd1[2]
[10:57] <damo22><PHONE_NUMBER> blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [5/4] [U_UUU]
[10:58] <dns53> damo22 so you have not lost any data, just add another disk of equal or greater size to the array and watch it rebuild over the next day
[10:58] <meetaw> plot() doesn't work in scilab
[10:58] <meetaw> with ubuntu 11.10
[10:58] <meetaw> any fix ?
[10:59] <damo22> dns53: for some reason it thinks /dev/sdf1  is in position 6 (spare), but mdadm --detail shows position 4
[11:00] <damo22> dns53: its because i hacked it in /sys/block/md3/md/dev-sdf1/
[11:00] <damo22> i forced it to slot 4
[11:00] <meetaw> anybody ?
[11:01] <damo22> but it needs to detect the array as not degraded

[11:04] <dmtarmey_>  hi chat room im using vbox to run windows xp inside linux , the problem is windows in vbox is not picking up usb sticks, it is picking up usb modem though any ideas please.
[11:05] <ServerSage> dmtarmey_: That might be better asked in #vbox.  Is the linux host seeing the USB sticks?
[11:05] <dmtarmey_> ServerSage iv tried no one seems to be there
[11:06] <dmtarmey_> It dosnt seem like the linux is seeing the USN stick
[11:06] <ServerSage> dmtarmey_: It's more active in a few hours.
[11:06] <dns53> damo22 could you restart the machine?
[11:06] <dmtarmey_> ServerSage cheers
[11:06] <ServerSage> dmtarmey_: If you plug in the USB stick and run dmesg do you see anything about it?
[11:07] <damo22> dns53: no because its not my machine i am vncd into it
[11:07] <kalimojo> are there keystroke loggers for ubuntu ?
[11:07] <dmtarmey_> ServerSage let me try that!
[11:07] <ServerSage> kalimojo: Yes, there.
[11:08] <kalimojo> ?
[11:09] <ServerSage> kalimojo: Oops, hit enter too quick.  Yes there are.  Take a look at lkl.
[11:09] <dns53> damo22 ok, so could you try failing the replaced disk?      mdadm --manage /dev/md3 --fail /dev/sdf1
[11:09] <meetaw> plot() does not work in scilab with ubuntu 11.10. Any fix ?
[11:09] <damo22> dns53: the faulty disk has been removed from the array already
[11:10] <damo22> dns53: it was /dev/sdc1
[11:10] <dns53> damo22 but you put it back?
[11:10] <damo22> dns53: no i used the spare /dev/sdf1 and forced it into slot 4
[11:10] <ServerSage> meetaw: First off, we heard the first time.  Second, what is it doing?  "Doesn't work" isn't really much to go on.
[11:11] <damo22> dns53: /dev/sdc1 was slot 1 before but now slot 1 is empty
[11:11] <Phant> Hi how do i disable html5 video crashing buggy crap lol in chromium 16.0.912.77? flash is working just fine for me i have ubuntu 10.10 installed
[11:12] <ascianabhro> is there any displayconfigGTK or similar alternative available for ubuntu 10.04?
[11:12] <meetaw> The graphics windows crashes
[11:13] <meetaw> I think it is a problem with libgl1-mes-glx
[11:13] <damo22> dns53: 0      active sync   /dev/sdb1 ----  1      removed  ----  2      active sync   /dev/sdd1 ----- -3      active sync   /dev/sde1 ------ 4      active sync   /dev/sdf1
[11:13] <ServerSage> meetaw: What video card?  Intel?
[11:13] <meetaw> Yes
[11:13] <meetaw> Ironhide
[11:14] <ServerSage> meetaw: I just spent 10 seconds googling (thats all you get!) and here is what I found:  http://www.equalis.com/forums/posts.asp?topic=321201
[11:15] <meetaw> Yeah I looked at that that thread. Unfortunately the solution breaks gnome-shell and unity
[11:16] <dns53> damo22 so there are 4 disks in the array out of 5?  so what is the problem?
[11:16] <Kartagis> hi
[11:16] <damo22> dns53: it says clean, degraded
[11:16] <ServerSage> meetaw: Did you try the suggestion near the bottom made by R. Riviere?
[11:16] <damo22> dns53: and doesnt seem to mount
[11:16] <Kartagis> I can't get mu sound applet anymore. help me?
[11:16] <ServerSage> meetaw: I can't see who that would break gnome-shell or unity.
[11:17] <meetaw> Yeah. It doesn't seem to work.
[11:17] <dns53> damo22 it will, it has all the data on disk so it is "clean" but does not have the redundancy, so it is "degraded", you should be able to use it in a degraded state
[11:17] <meetaw> It breaks because gnome-shell and unity need libgl1-mesa-glx to work. Removing it breaks them
[11:18] <ServerSage> meetaw: You'll probably have better luck asking scilab folks.
[11:18] <damo22> dns53: but /proc/mdstat says sdf1[6] which means it still thinks its the spare
[11:19] <damo22> dns53: i need it to say sdf1[1]
[11:19] <ServerSage> meetaw: Actually, there is even an IRC channel for scilab.
[11:20] <ServerSage> meetaw: http://tinyurl.com/84yv7yo
[11:20] <vlt> Hello. How to change the language of cryptsetup's passphrase prompt (from initrd)?
[11:20] <damo22> dns53: sorry i mean sdf1[4]
[11:21] <damo22> dns53: it should say that
[11:24] <user82> Hi! maybe a beginner question: but where does the output go when i press a magic sysrq key?
[11:25] <iceroot> user82: directly to tty
[11:26] <meetaw> ServerSage: thanks
[11:26] <meetaw> Apparently
[11:26] <meetaw> I was using the 32 bit library
[11:27] <meetaw> Silly me
[11:27] <dns53> damo22 i'm still not sure why you cannot use the array, it should be active
[11:28] <user82> iceroot, can i show it in the gnome terminal or only via ctrl+alt+1 (i assume 1 is tty)?
[11:28] <iceroot> user82: maybe syslog is also holding it
[11:28] <iceroot> user82: also see #bash maybe they know how to put that in your terminal instead of tty1
[11:29] <ikonia> you won't be able to put it into the gnome terminal
[11:29] <user82> okay thanks iceroot
[11:29] <ikonia> as magic sysrq sends a break to the kernel, which can only output to the default tty as X11/gnome is a process running on top of it
[11:29] <ikonia> magic sysrq will hang your system and interup all processes, so you can't send it to the desktop based terminals
[11:30] <user82> ikonia, where do i see tty? ctrl+alt+f1 sends me to tty1
[11:30] <ikonia> user82: what are you trying to do and why ?
[11:30] <kalimojo> what is a good server/channel for general chat ?
[11:30] <iceroot> !ot | kalimojo
[11:31] <user82> ikonia, pretty much nothing...i just wanted to test it
[11:31] <user82> dont ask me why...^^
[11:31] <dns53> kalimojo there is #ubuntu-chat for example
[11:31] <ikonia> user82: ok - research magic sysrq then
[11:40] <Themenace> Yo, anyone who knows any status on Bug #846407 ?
[11:41] <Themenace> This bug stops me from working at home right now! And it's been in "confirmed" state for a while now..
[11:43] <bullgard4> Themenace: states the status of a bug in each report.
[11:43] <bullgard4> Themenace: Launchpad states the status of a bug in each report.
[11:44] <dns53> Themenace xrdp is not really a server, it acts more like a proxy between rdp and vnc so you need some setup to get it working
[11:45] <dns53> Themenace you will need to start a vnc session and then set up xrdp to allow you to remotely login to the session
[11:46] <Themenace> dns53: Ok, thanks for the tip.. I have xrdp and is able to log in but the only thing that appears is my wallpapaer..
[11:46] <Themenace> wallpaper*
[11:46] <Themenace> and yeah, perhaps I could get it to work with some configurations .. but when I had 11.04 it worked "as it should"
[11:47] <Themenace> And I just want to be able to rdp to my office computer without the hazzle of special configurations and so on :)
[11:48] <Themenace> And since this is a bug I just wounder when someone is starting to work on the fix
[11:48] <Themenace> -u
[11:48] <Themenace> sorry for my spelling
[11:48] <dns53> Themenace you can get it working, i have read some documentation but i have not had time myself
[11:49] <dns53> Themenace just use vnc +ssh for the moment, that is easier to get working
[11:49] <Themenace> dns53: thanks for the tip.. i'll try to use that setup meanwhile the bug is getting fixed
[11:51] <user82> in KDE all the popups are "stored" in the messages. does that work in gnome3 too(are they in some log...)?
[11:53] <dns53> i do not think they are kept but please speak up if i am wrong
[11:53] <jpds> user82, dns53: ~/.cache/notify-osd.log

[12:33] <jojose> when my pc is starting it check dhcp offers in eth0 and wlan0, how i can disable that
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> jojose: set them to static IP
[12:33] <reisio> jojose: why do you want to?
[12:34] <jojose> because i have installed network manager and i dont need that
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> jojose: network manager is a service, the UI on the desktop just manages it for you
[12:35] <reisio> jojose: maybe something like this: http://www.dotkam.com/2008/08/06/speed-up-ubuntu-boot-time-by-starting-networking-on-the-background/
[12:35] <reisio> or instead of shutting down, you could use some form of suspend/hibernate

[12:37] <zwoxyz> Can anyone here use Armitage?
[12:37] <sudipta> ericus: but how?
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> jojose: could try wicd instead.
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> !info armitage
[12:37] <sudipta> reisio:it worked previously but suddenly it just stops
[12:37] <angelete2> hi

[12:40] <reisio> sudipta: hi
[12:40] <sudipta> reisio:hey can u please help me out?
[12:41] <reisio> sudipta: maybe, what's up?
[12:41] <sudipta> hi....I'm using gnome shell and Alt+f2 does not work for me....what to do now?
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> sudipta: you could install gmrun and map the alt+f2 to run gmrun
[12:42] <reisio> ah right
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> zwoxyz: its a terminal command, gives one line of output which is fine to paste in here...
[12:42] <prabhu> hello...is there anybody out there ?
[12:42] <reisio> sudipta: are you sure alt+f2 is meant to do that?  You might ask #gnome
[12:42] <ericus> sudipta: http://shuffleos.com/3557/how-to-enable-alt-f2-shortcut-gnome-shell-ubuntu-11-10/
[12:42] <reisio> prabhu: nope :)
[12:42] <sudipta> ActionParsnip:but it used to work just fine...I have insalled ccsm and after that it stopped
[12:42] <sudipta> reisio:yeah...it worked earlier
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> sudipta: is it the same for all users (make a new one if you have only one user)
[12:43] <reisio> earlier when? :p
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> sudipta: ericus's link looks good
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> zwoxyz: once you give the output of the simple command I may be able to advise..
[12:44] <sudipta> ericus:yeah...thanks a lot
[12:47] <chroot> help, my ubuntu 11.10 is very slow, i can't stdand it, how can i fix it?
[12:48] <chroot> especially when i open file manager.
[12:48] <chroot> i don't know what's wrong with it?
[12:48] <reisio> chroot: what processor/ram/gpu have you?
[12:49] <chroot> reisio, i have intel core
[12:49] <chroot> ram
[12:49] <reisio> Core i?
[12:49] <chroot> not gpu
[12:49] <chroot> yes
[12:49] <zwoxyz> Is there anyone here with knowledge about Armitage?
[12:49] <reisio> zwoxyz: good character
[12:49] <chroot> reisio, have you ever encounter the same problem?
[12:50] <reisio> chroot: could be an indication of driver misconfiguration, system insanity, hardware failure... lot of variables
[12:51] <chroot> oh, reisio , my file system is full, is this the problem?
[12:51] <reisio> chroot: that is definitely a good suspicion :)
[12:52] <reisio> chroot: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-clear-the-package-cache/
[12:52] <chroot> reisio, you mean when file system almost full, it will slow down your system?
[12:52] <chroot> ok,
[12:52] <reisio> chroot: it can bring your system to a halt
[12:53] <chroot> then why is that?
[12:53] <chroot> i mean why this will happen?
[12:53] <reisio> because a lot of processes require temporary file space to function
[12:53] <reisio> and eventually you'll run out of space in RAM, and swap
[12:53] <chroot> and the temporaty file will be in dir /var?
[12:53] <chroot> am i right?
[12:54] <kralle> hello can please someone tell me how to change the dnsmasq port from 53 to tomething else ?
[12:54] <reisio> it's not a good idea to let your file systems get full anyways, as the proactive anti-fragmentation systems will become unable to function
[12:54] <reisio> chroot: not sure, check the link I gave
[12:54] <chroot> ok
[12:55] <kralle> anyone ? :)

[13:00] <chroot> reisio, are you still there?
[13:00] <reisio> yup
[13:00] <chroot> i checked out the link you give me
[13:00] <reisio> mmhmm
[13:00] <chroot> en and my apt/archives is only 283 M
[13:00] <chroot> that is not big
[13:01] <reisio> twss
[13:01] <reisio> chroot: it's just a convenient place to start
[13:01] <reisio> you should remove more than 283MB if your system is full
[13:01] <chroot> oh, and i scaned my file system, it said that i have used %84
[13:01] <chroot> is that full?
[13:02] <reisio> well no, it's 84 out of a hundred
[13:02] <chroot> and my hard disk is 500 Gb
[13:02] <reisio> check with df -i, though
[13:04] <chroot> reisio, well, i there are still a lot of nodes i can use .
[13:05] <direktor> a
[13:05] <reisio> chroot: okay, so it's probably not space, then
[13:05] <chroot> then what,
[13:05] <chroot> is it the file manager problem?
[13:06] <reisio> that's one possibility
[13:06] <chroot> then, i should reinstall the nautilus ?
[13:06] <kralle> someone please help me ?
[13:06] <chroot> that is right?
[13:06] <kralle> i cant start dnsmasq it says port 53 is in use
[13:10] <kralle> what a bounch of idiots ..
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> chroot: i suggest you uninsall old unused kernels. It can help free lots of space
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> kralle: who are these idiots?
[13:11] <kralle> not here wrong query
[13:11] <kralle> anyway can someone help me 1 miute
[13:11] <kralle> minute?
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> kralle: sure
[13:12] <chroot> well, ActionParsnip , but when you turn on your computer, there is only one kernel you are using, so it should mean that the ram and cpu will only used by that kernel.
[13:12] <kralle> i have startet a hotspot in ubuntu
[13:12] <kralle> but then ican not start dnsmasq
[13:12] <kralle> :(
[13:12] <kralle> can you help me out
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> chroot: I thought it was a drive space issue, not RAM.D'oh
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> kralle: dnsmasq is a service, not an icon
[13:13] <kralle> yes lol
[13:13] <kralle> i know i need to run it but get the error port 53 is in use
[13:13] <kralle> if i stiop the hotspot service it starts
[13:13] <LjL> kralle: then you probably have some other service doing DNS on your system?
[13:13] <kralle> but i need both
[13:13] <chroot> ActionParsnip, i do have 3 kernel in my system, but i checked that these kernel only take me 73 Mb
[13:13] <foo> what's the default fsck to check a drive? eg. the regular maintenance one? I forget the parameters. Thanks! I need to check a drive, I'm seeing this:  EXT3-fs warning: checktime reached, running e2fsck is recommended
[13:13] <LjL> kralle: tell the hotspot service to not serve DNS
[13:13] <kralle> how
[13:13] <kralle> :)
[13:14] <kralle> is the built in service in ubuntu
[13:14] <kralle> i just choice use as hotspot
[13:14] <kralle> so how could i run both services
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> chroot: each is about 120Mb on the disk
[13:14] <LjL> kralle: i've never used Ubuntu's hotspot service (didn't even know about it), but let me see.
[13:15] <kralle> great :)
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> kralle: dnsmasq is not a default installed service
[13:15] <chroot> ActionParsnip,  i check the kernel in /boot directory, am i done right?
[13:15] <chroot> and also, how can i uninstall the old kernel
[13:15] <kralle> yes i know  ActionParsnip
[13:15] <kralle> but i need it .. so can i tell somehow to use both
[13:16] <kralle> this hotspot feature and dnsmasq
[13:16] <reisio> kralle: maybe check dpkg -L dnsmasq for a config file?
[13:17] <kralle> i did
[13:17] <kralle> but no port config
[13:17] <kralle> avalibale
[13:17] <kralle> or it there a alternative hotspot software ?
[13:17] <LjL> kralle: well you wouldn't want to change dnsmasq's port anyway
[13:17] <LjL> kralle: yes there is chillispot
[13:18] <kralle> is it in the software center ?
[13:18] <chroot> help, i want to back up me system, what directory should i back up?
[13:18] <LjL> kralle: well i'm not sure how to help you, because on this machine i don't have a wifi card so i cannot even try the hotspot things, and other machines have too old versions of Ubuntu to have the hotspot feature...
[13:21] <FatPig_> #channel ozmdota2
[13:21] <FatPig_> sorry, wrong command
[13:23] <sauevaem> need help with mkv files
[13:24] <scarleo> chroot, mainly your /home but it depends on what you need
[13:24] <bazhang> sauevaem, convert them?
[13:25] <chroot> scarleo,  i use tar to backup, is it the best choice?
[13:25] <sauevaem> well bazhang there's fine idea but I would like them to work
[13:25] <sauevaem> that's*
[13:25] <bazhang> sauevaem, what do you mean? mplayer can play them fine
[13:25] <chroot> and it takes a lot of time
[13:25] <scarleo> chroot, personally I use DejaDup that comes with ubuntu default
[13:26] <chroot> oh, that is a graphical tool
[13:26] <scarleo> chroot, well the time will depend on how much you are backing up :)
[13:26] <chroot> scarleo,  i know that tool, and it will work with ubuntu one
[13:26] <chroot> ubuntu cloud
[13:27] <scarleo> chroot, DejaDup will be faster next time since it will only look for changes, plus you get the "Resture File" functionality
[13:27] <scarleo> Restore*
[13:27] <chroot> wait wait, i got questions, are you backup your file into ubuntu cloud?
[13:28] <chroot> if not, where are you backup your file s?
[13:29] <chroot> and are you only backup your home directory?
[13:29] <scarleo> chroot, you can choose where to put them, also in U1 folder, my files are on my server. It's good to have them on another HD so if you got an exter HD that could be an option
[13:29] <yitz_> .wc
[13:30] <sauevaem> I use vlc and totem, vlc plays sound fine but screen is all green, totem returns an error: cound not find gstreams caps mapping for ffmpeg codec 'h264', and you are using and external libavcodec.
[13:30] <reisio> sauevaem: are you actually using ffmpeg, or libav?
[13:31] <chroot> and scarleo , are you backup all the files in your system?
[13:32] <chroot> my system is very slow now, i can't fix it, so i want to reinstall a new system,  but i think it is not good to fix problems with reinstall!
[13:33] <fidel> chroot: then fix it ;)
[13:33] <scarleo> chroot, I backup my entire /home (almost, I skip some game folders I don't care about)
[13:34] <sauevaem> ffmpeg I guess
[13:34] <krazed> It's a little sad that Ubuntu is compatible with my school's network but there's a sign that says "currently having trouble with windows 7 machines."...
[13:34] <chroot> fidel,  i want and with top util , it reads that the file  manager is the probem?
[13:35] <reisio> sauevaem: ffmpeg -version ?
[13:35] <sauevaem> I'm reading this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1863030 but no one there really explained what to do
[13:35] <chroot> scarleo, and you didnt' backup your / directory?  if there is something wrong, we can use backup to restore our system?
[13:35] <chroot> am i right?
[13:36] <sauevaem> ffmpeg version 0.7.3-4:0.7.3-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the Libav developers
[13:37] <scarleo> chroot, no I don't backup entire /. Have you done a lot of changes to program settings? If you have just backup /etc also, otherwise you won't need that either
[13:39] <chroot> yes, scarleo , i think you are right, if there is something wrong, it always in /etc

[14:09] <iwantu2brich> Hi
[14:09] <iwantu2brich> anyone know how to properly run mineshafter.jar?
[14:09] <ecthiender> no
[14:12] <Chotaz_> How do you defragmentations on Ubuntu? Also, can I do them while the disks are being used?
[14:12] <LjL> Chotaz_: short answer: you can't do it with ext4. but the next Ubuntu version is supposed to have a defrag tool for it (no promises).
[14:12] <iceroot> Chotaz_: not needed
[14:13] <iceroot> iwantu2brich: java -jar mineshafter.jar
[14:13] <iwantu2brich> yes iceroot but it not works
[14:13] <iceroot> kralle: to what?
[14:13] <Chotaz_> iceroot: I have an external HDD that is literally dieing, WAY TOO slow transfer rates for this disk, ive changed the sata2usb interface inside the casing, didnt affect a thing
[14:13] <iceroot> !work | iwantu2brich
[14:13] <iwantu2brich> maybe its problem in executable
[14:14] <iceroot> Chotaz_: usb is the problem, not fragmentation
[14:14] <iceroot> Chotaz_: usb will use the cpu full
[14:14] <Chotaz_> iceroot: still there's a transfer rate that is too slow for what this disk used to do
[14:14] <iceroot> Chotaz_: usb is the problem, not the disk
[14:15] <iceroot> Chotaz_: look at "top" and specially the %wa value
[14:15] <iceroot> Chotaz_: if that is high your cpu/usb is the problem

[14:17] <kralle> i just whant to forward 1 domain name in ubuntu
[14:17] <kralle> how i can do it ?
[14:17] <iceroot> kralle: i dont get what you really want
[14:18] <kralle> ex if i go to domain1.xx i whant he go to domain2.xx
[14:18] <iceroot> kralle: you have a machine and want a domain e.g. foobar.com to point to your ubuntu machine?
[14:18] <Slart> kralle: forwarding a domain name to a certain computer is something you'll have to do from the people that handle the domain.. it's not something you do locally on your computer
[14:18] <kralle> is local only
[14:18] <kralle> not more
[14:18] <iceroot> kralle: put that in /etc/hosts
[14:19] <kralle> i set up dnsmasq but then i cant use hotspot anymore
[14:19] <Slart> kralle: ahh.. I misunderstood then.. sorry
[14:19] <kralle> any solution
[14:19] <iceroot> shoudl also work with  foobar.com foobar2.com
[14:19] <noneio> anyone know why i am getting this: http://i42.tinypic.com/358cv1k.png ?
[14:19] <kralle> how iceroot
[14:19] <kralle> you have a example
[14:19] <kralle> ?
[14:19] <FloodBot1> kralle: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:19] <iceroot> kralle: fobar.com foobar2.com  thats all
[14:19] <iceroot> kralle: then foobar.com will always redirect on foobar2.com
[14:19] <iceroot> kralle: na dno dns server is asked
[14:19] <Chotaz_> iceroot: let me just ssh in and figure what the X is before executing that command

[14:20] <noneio> i see. thank you

[14:22] <Chotaz_> iceroot: thanks, I feel sh!tdumb now...
[14:22] <iceroot> Chotaz_: :)
[14:23] <iceroot> Chotaz_: as i said, it has nothing to do with fragmentation
[14:23] <Chotaz_> iceroot: when i first started looking into the subject
[14:23] <Chotaz_> came to my reading that long term fragmentation may cause slow downs
[14:23] <Chotaz_> thats why I threw that in
[14:23] <kralle> iceroot you have a example please
[14:23] <iceroot> kralle: i posted you an example twice
[14:23] <iceroot> kralle: foobar.com foobar2.com
[14:24] <iceroot> Chotaz_: fragmentation is only a problem in the windows-world not on ext-drives
[14:24] <kralle> i mean how to post it exactly to the hosts file
[14:24] <kralle> :/
[14:24] <hallino1> Hey what's elise mean?
[14:24] <iceroot> kralle: you have a gui?
[14:24] <Chotaz_> iceroot: ew winblows, thanks for the time and sharing the knowledge :)
[14:24] <kralle> yes also
[14:24] <iceroot> Chotaz_: you are welcome
[14:24] <kralle> but i can use terminal
[14:25] <elune> Can anyone tell me how to setup a proxy in my pc easily for  a friend to use.
[14:25] <iceroot> kralle: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
[14:25] <Slart> Chotaz_: fragmentation might be a problem if you've got a full drive you keep writing/deleting stuff to.. if you keep 20% free or so you won't have any problems with it
[14:25] <kralle> i am in  the file
[14:25] <krazed> I figured out the problem with nVidia Optimus support and linux, if anyone's interested in reading my solution feel free! :-) http://kraz3d.wordpress.com/
[14:25] <kralle> but how to set it up right way :)
[14:25] <iceroot> kralle: just put the line "foobar.com foobar2.com" on it
[14:25] <elune> mm.
[14:25] <iceroot> kralle: and of course replace the names
[14:25] <Slart> Chotaz_: there are tools that can tell you if things are badly fragmented but no tools to fix it.. except moving files back and forth (or moving files between drives to free up space
[14:26] <kralle> then restart network fightn?
[14:26] <iceroot> elune: you want to share internet connection?
[14:26] <kralle> right
[14:26] <elune> basically . yes.
[14:26] <iceroot> kralle: no need to restart anything
[14:26] <iceroot> !ics | elune
[14:26] <kralle> iceroot can i pm you please
[14:26] <elune> not in the network
[14:26] <elune> I mean a proxy
[14:26] <iceroot> kralle: lets use this chat
[14:26] <elune> from another country
[14:27] <krazed> Is there a way for me to check out the history of my terminal and the output responses it gave me?
[14:27] <kralle> basicly i whant this : domain.example -> <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:27] <iceroot> krazed: you want all your used commands and there outout?
[14:27] <kralle> so if i type domain.expamle thst it goes to this ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:27] <krazed> iceroot, yeah :)
[14:27] <iceroot> kralle: then do it
[14:27] <kralle> i did
[14:27] <kralle> but it dont work
[14:27] <iceroot> krazed: not possible by default
[14:28] <iceroot> kralle: save the file
[14:28] <elune> I was wondering of an easy too to run
[14:28] <kralle> i do like this line : domain.xx 192.268.1.1
[14:28] <kralle> i did lol
[14:28] <kralle> sudo pico hosts
[14:28] <kralle> then save
[14:28] <kralle> but still not work
[14:28] <iceroot> kralle: output of "ping -c 4 domain.xx"?
[14:28] <iceroot> kralle: /etc/hosts
[14:29] <kralle> it gives me the domain ip
[14:29] <kralle> but not the ip i whant

[14:31] <iceroot> kralle: of course replace "bildungsfernsehen" with rtl.de
[14:31] <kralle> lol :p
[14:31] <kasii> iwantu2brich, isnt debian matter discussing here
[14:32] <kralle> iceroot same :(
[14:32] <kasii> iwantu2brich,  go debian irc
[14:32] <iceroot> kralle: "ping -c 4 rtl.de"
[14:32] <kralle> i get the local host ip
[14:33] <iceroot> kralle: so its working
[14:33] <kralle> but the explorer give me still the wrong one
[14:33] <iceroot> kralle: restart the browser
[14:33] <iceroot> kralle: maybe its still cached there
[14:33] <kralle> i did iceroot
[14:33] <kralle> :/
[14:33] <iceroot> kralle: ctrl + f5 in the browser
[14:33] <jnsl> anyone know how to change the damn activites button in gnome 3.2 into an ubuntu icon ?
[14:33] <kralle> yes iceroot i did :)
[14:34] <kralle> but still same :p
[14:34] <iceroot> kralle: firefox?
[14:34] <kralle> yes
[14:34] <Meaw> hi , wireless is not scanning networks anymore.. i thought its a hardware problem but it works fine in windows.. any suggestions?
[14:34] <iceroot> kralle: rtl.de not www.rtl.de?
[14:34] <Manny> hello :)
[14:34] <arkiver> I am having trouble creating an ad-hoc wifi hotspot after upgrading to 11.10 and using GNOME3. What is the problem? is it a bug ?
[14:34] <arkiver> can anyone help  ?
[14:34] <Meaw> last thing i did was " pppoeconfig " but everything seem to be fine in /etc/network/interfaces
[14:34] <kralle> yes
[14:34] <ubukou> hey folks!where did unity hide all the options ? just installed it and i gotta say its a lot more minimal than i expected! :P
[14:35] <kralle> not www
[14:35] <kralle> iceroot not wew
[14:35] <kralle> only rtl
[14:35] <Meaw> ew, looks like im lagged
[14:35] <krazed> So, I just downloaded the driver for the GT540M video card, now I've got a file 'NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.09.07.run'... how do I execute this file?
[14:35] <iceroot> kralle: seems like firefox is still caching the dns record, dont know how to tell firefox to reread it
[14:35] <Manny> I wonder whether ubuntu offers any way to install custom kernel modules in a separate location, but have it picked up by. For example, some packages install into /lib/modules/XXX/updates/dkms. Can I also install into a similar location, like /lib/modules/XXX/updates/user?
[14:35] <iceroot> kralle: you did not set qa proxy for firefox?
[14:36] <kralle> no
[14:36] <iceroot> kralle: because if you have a proxy firefox will not ask your /etc/hosts but the proxy
[14:36] <kralle> iceroot i would like to use dnsmasq but then i can not start the built in hotspot in ubuntu
[14:37] <Manny> oh wait...actually the package I am looking for seems to be available as dkms package xD
[14:37] <Meaw> Any idea why wireless is not scanning networks? it was working fine yesterday night
[14:37] <krazed> How can I exit the X interface completely and get to a terminal interface?
[14:37] <kralle> iceroot about dnsmasq
[14:38] <WLU> wireless network manager in gnome applet no longer has deactivate wireless capabilities. I have a wired line sometimes and I want to deactivate wireless when the wired connection is on
[14:38] <patrick__> hi all
[14:38] <kralle> if i whant it i can not use the built in hotspot
[14:38] <kralle> in ubuntu
[14:38] <Meaw> ^^
[14:39] <patrick__> my dad and i are new to unbuntu  is there ant good antivirus good for it
[14:39] <rodhash> Guys ..
[14:39] <rodhash> I've just made some upgrades (aptitude upgrade), is that possible to restart / recycle the processes to avoid a reboot ???
[14:39] <patrick__> any sorry typo
[14:39] <anonymous666> hi
[14:39] <patrick__> hey anonymous666
[14:39] <oCean> !av | patrick__
[14:39] <anonymous666> ubuntu or debian 6? what is your opinion?
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> rodhash: sudo apt-get -f install    maybe
[14:39] <oCean> anonymous666: don't use this channel for polls, thank you
[14:40] <anonymous666> ok
[14:40] <anonymous666> sorry
[14:40] <patrick__> thank you
[14:40] <Meaw> guys, wireless is not working on ubuntu desktop it was working fine last night
[14:40] <rodhash> ActionParsnip, I've tried and there's nothing wrong... my point is, there's a request to reboot in the bottom panel.... can I recycle the ubuntu processes and avoid a system restart ??
[14:40] <anonymous666> can i to make a question?
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> rodhash: you basically have installed a new kernel and need a reboot to start in the new kernel. It's not necessary
[14:41] <andymc73test> \quit
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> anonymous666: shoot
[14:41] <Meaw> am i ignored or lagged or whatever
[14:42] <rodhash> ActionParsnip, Yes, there's a new kernel in the updates... but I'm already using version 3.0.4... So can I just ignore that reboot request ??
[14:42] <anonymous666> my mum have a lot of many, i have a pc (not laptop) 8 years, is very very very bad, and my mum say that while the pc is ok, she dont buy a new pc, how can i crash the pc but my mum thinks that the pc crash because the pc is very old?
[14:42] <kralle> iceroot , i use he machine as hotspot so i access it from a  different pc using wifi , but it not works
[14:43] <iceroot> kralle: ah
[14:43] <anonymous666> money*
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> rodhash: absolutely, its not essential. When you next boot, the newer kernel will boot
[14:43] <iceroot> kralle: you have to change the /etc/hosts in the client
[14:43] <kralle> can you helo me about this :)
[14:43] <iceroot> kralle: of course not on the "server"
[14:43] <oCean> anonymous666: this channel is for ubuntu tech support questions only
[14:43] <rodhash> ActionParsnip, thank you!
[14:43] <kralle> so how i can set this up iceroot :)
[14:43] <anonymous666> what is the channel for it?
[14:43] <iceroot> kralle: on the server?
[14:43] <kralle> this is why i would use dnsmasq but then the hotsport not start
[14:44] <iceroot> kralle: i would thing you have to put up a own dns server and patch that entry
[14:44] <Meaw> hi
[14:44] <kralle> i use the ubuntu as hotspot , but if i start dnsmaqs it says port 53 is busy
[14:44] <kralle> if i stop the hotspot it starts
[14:44] <iceroot> kralle: because another dns is already running
[14:45] <kralle> yes so this is what i ask how to change it
[14:45] <iceroot> kralle: stop the other dns
[14:45] <loganrun> the menu's on adobe reader just show grey for some reason
[14:45] <kralle> without using a new dns serer
[14:45] <iceroot> kralle: if i am correct its called bind9
[14:45] <kralle> but then the hotspot stops
[14:45] <loganrun> does anyone else have this issue
[14:45] <cannonball> When I start a terminal (gnome-terminal or terminator), it appears in the middle of the screen.  If I start another one, it appears in the top left corner.  A third one and it appears in the top left corner over the second one.  A fourth one is over the third one.  Etc.
[14:45] <kralle> or can i set this up in the built in hotspot in ubuntu
[14:45] <kralle> to forward this
[14:45] <cannonball> Is there any way to tell it to appear in the part of the screen that's open?
[14:45] <kralle> .
[14:46] <Meaw> GUYS, my wireless is not scanning, it was working fine yesterday, and last thing i did in network i setup pppoeconfig... but wireless is not working now any suggestions?
[14:46] <cannonball> It used to do that in the past, but I can't find the correct config or setting to tweak in order to get that behavior back.  Running Unbuntu Classic Gnome desktop.
[14:47] <patrick__> how do i look for channels to talk in
[14:47] <loganrun> does anyone else have this issue, the menus in adobe reader are blank, it is as if the words in them are the same color as the menu's and therefore invisable
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> Meaw: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan    do you find APs?
[14:47] <oCean> !alis | patrick__
[14:47] <loganrun> patrick__, one or two dice
[14:47] <myndzi> i'm getting 'could not calculate the upgrade' trying to go from 11.10 to 12.04. it's a fairly stock install, just did it a couple days ago. any idea if there's a simple workaround?
[14:47] <jiltdil> Best mp3 player in ubuntu that gives sound quality?
[14:47] <patrick__> !alis
[14:48] <Meaw> ActionParsnip, actually that was giving me some error, and in network management it says my wireless Inactive
[14:48] <cannonball> Meaw: Make sure that you didn't turn off your wireless hardware with the physical switch that's on your laptop.  It can happen on accident occassionally.
[14:48] <patrick__> !alis
[14:48] <Meaw> cannonball, no , its ON i got that in syslogs...
[14:48] <Meaw> last thing i did in network was setting up pppoeconfig
[14:48] <cannonball> Meaw: Do the sudo command that ActionParsnip posted.
[14:48] <Meaw> I also checked /etc/network/interfaces everything seem to be fine
[14:48] <loganrun> does anyone else have an issue with the menu's in adobe reader?
[14:49] <Meaw> cannonball, ok i must reboot to switch to ubuntu any other idea i must try before i get back on windows to ask?
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> Meaw: did you specify the wireless address in /etc/network/interfaces file?
[14:49] <mman> does anybody know a gui maker for php? something like qt? I tried to install php-qt but i was not successful
[14:49] <cannonball> That's also another proof that your wireless is not turned off if it works in Windows :-)
[14:50] <patrick__> im so use to windows irc
[14:50] <Meaw> ActionParsnip, nop.. there is ifup wlan0 line by default
[14:50] <Meaw> i did not touch it
[14:50] <ubukou> how do i get the system tray again in ubuntu unity ?
[14:50] <qci133> quit
[14:50] <cannonball> Meaw: Chances are that you are using Network Manager, so you'll want to adjust things in there to make sure that it's working.
[14:50] <loganrun> is there a way to change the colors of the theme in ubuntu
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> Meaw: my file doesn't have a wlan up, only the defs for lo
[14:51] <loganrun> tried system settings | appearance but it looks like that is just the background
[14:51] <cannonball> patrick__: Which irc client are you using?
[14:51] <Meaw> ActionParsnip, im on ubuntu desktop fresh system, i guess that line came by default
[14:51] <theadmin> ubukou: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"
[14:51] <slipttees> hu all
[14:51] <Meaw> or maybe after i setup the pppoeconfig, i dunoo.. but i have been using wireless the last week fine

[14:52] <xorred> what's the best way to check which user is apache running under?
[14:52] <xorred> ps aux | grep apache is giving me a hell of an output
[14:53] <patrick__> is xchat better
[14:53] <cannonball> xorred: Try this:    ps aux | head -n 1; ps aux | grep a[p]ache
[14:53] <cannonball> xorred: The output of that should make a little more sense to you, and answer your question at the same time.

[14:57] <theadmin> ubukou: I use Openbox :/
[14:57] <theadmin> ubukou: You must be crazy to use unity, that's what I personally think

[14:58] <gribouille> hi
[14:58] <gribouille> I have just lebelled a file system with e2label. what is the command to make it appear in /media?
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: if you like the old gnome2 feel, install xfce4 and use that session, it feels and smells the same
[14:59] <slipttees> e2fsck /dev/sda3 =>  Could this be a zero-length partition. please help :(
[14:59] <slipttees> i cant mount this partition.
[14:59] <theadmin> gribouille: sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/your_label /media/whatever
[14:59] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, theadmin god, i hoped i wasnt the only one that found it conterprodactive .. i do ages changing windows...
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: the whole "i hate unity" has been going since Natty, you aren't alone
[15:00] <mdiazc> hi, i have ubuntu 11.10, how can I uninstall skype ?
[15:00] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, gnome2 no longer existis ? i looked for it while i was logging in...
[15:00] <Lint> ubukou, gnome2 was taken to the woods and shot
[15:00] <gribouille> theadmin, I want /media/whatever to me created automatically
[15:00] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, i kinda looked forward to it... damn...
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: its not developed upstream, there are forks but they aren't supported here
[15:00] <obounaim> i have noticed that when i'm using ubuntu 10.04.3 on my sony vaio laptop my battery goes done faster than when i'm using windows is this a bug?
[15:01] <gribouille> theadmin, I want /media/whatever to be created automatically
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> gribouille: is it an internal partition?
[15:01] <iceroot> obounaim: yes
[15:01] <mdiazc> hi, i have ubuntu 11.10, and have disk errors related to /tmp... also is not recognising external drive and pendrive

[15:01] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, isnt there a gnome3?
[15:01] <gribouille> ActionParsnip, what do you mean?
[15:01] <theadmin> ubukou: gnome3 looks even worse in Unity
[15:02] <gribouille> ActionParsnip, it is a partion on a hd
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: yes, Unity is a shell for gnome3
[15:02] <theadmin> s/in/than/
[15:02] <obounaim> iceroot: should i report a but?
[15:02] <iceroot> obounaim: already reported
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> gribouille: then add an entry in /etc/fstab   and it will mount at boot
[15:02] <ubukou> theadmin, ActionParsnip is it too late to go back to 9.10 ? hahha
[15:02] <loganrun> does anyone know how to delete an item from the shortcuts ?
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> gribouille: if the partition is on a drive inside your system, it's an internal partition
[15:02] <Eduard> Hello everyone
[15:02] <theadmin> ubukou: Yes it is, it's no longer supported. Try Xubuntu, it feels the same as gnome2 really
[15:03] <obounaim> iceroot: where can i find the bur report?
[15:03] <mdiazc> hi, i have ubuntu 11.10, unable to mount external drives
[15:03] <Eduard> Maybe someone can help me out to sort out this issue: http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/bad8.php
[15:03] <obounaim> iceroot: is it related to the kernel ?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: you can, there are just zero updates for it and no support here ;)
[15:03] <gribouille> ActionParsnip, but ubuntu mounts automatically in /media the partitions, using the label name or the uuid

[15:03] <ActionParsnip> gribouille: sure but only when you click it, you can have it mounted at boot if you want
[15:04] <iceroot> obounaim: seems to be fixed for all releases
[15:04] <theadmin> ubukou: Meh, not for you in any case, others feel very limited. I personally don't mind, but.

[15:08] <Eduard> Lineage2: you need to find server that accepts clients with killed gameguard
[15:08] <theadmin> Lineage2: You want wine, and that's not supported here
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> wine is supported here
[15:09] <mneptok> for certain definitions of "supported"
[15:09] <Eduard> problem is: he needs to kill gameguard in his client, which is kind off illegal
[15:09] <mneptok> WINE itself is supported. apps running under the framework ... not so much.

[15:27] <raj> if I add a user, how do I allow them to sudo?
[15:27] <Eduard> ActionParnship: there was /etc/boot.lst or smth similar, need to add nomodeset to kernel boot parameter list
[15:27] <Eduard> because my mouse cursor refuses to show up
[15:27] <theadmin> raj: Add them to the admin group (sudo usermod -aG admin username)
[15:27] <Eduard> it's invisible
[15:27] <urlin2u> raj, in th users where yo add users there is an admin option .
[15:27] <urlin2u> the
[15:28] <mdiazc> ActionParsnip: i cant even open that
[15:28] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: it looks like apt-get has a direct purge option (apt-get purge foo) now, i seem to remember like you requiring the remove and --purge, doesn't seem required anymore
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: gotcha, habit I guess
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> mdiazc: press CTRL+ALT+T   and you can run the command
[15:29] <raj> urlin2u, debian is different?
[15:29] <raj> in debian I just add them to the sudo group
[15:29] <urlin2u> raj, this is ubuntu support if your using debian your on the wrong channel.
[15:30] <zykotick9> raj: debian uses sudo, ubuntu uses admin
[15:30] <raj> ah ok
[15:30] <urlin2u> raj, there is visudo if that is what yiou mean.
[15:30] <urlin2u> you
[15:30] <raj> what's the difference btwn visudo and admin?
[15:30] <raj> i don't have X btw
[15:30] <mdiazc> ActionParsnip: ok, i have a terminal window open, what do I have to write
[15:30] <zykotick9> raj: visudo is a command, not a group
[15:30] <urlin2u> !visudo
[15:30] <theadmin> raj: Just add the users to the admin group -_-
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> mdiazc: the command I gave earlier....
[15:31] <Klej> If someone knows how to enable secondary display on Ati Radeon graphics,please pvt me.Tnx

[15:32] <obounaim> iceroot: i have ubuntu 10.04.3 kernel 2.6.32-38-generic stilling facing this bug
[15:32] <urlin2u> Klej, we don't do things that way generally you may not get help
[15:32] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: debian uses sudo, ubuntu uses admin
[15:32] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: in sudoers file, as the group to allow sudo access
[15:33] <patrunjel> I goofed around a little with tune2fs, and now dumpe2fs outputs normally, but when it finishes outputting all the regular information, it goes crazy and start outputing what I think are inode groups. What can I do to stop that? (the filesystem runs as usual)
[15:33] <ARTSIOM> is there a way to tell gzip to use some temp filename file gziping?
[15:33] <ARTSIOM> *while gziping
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: oh definately, but it is a group ;)
[15:35] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: pretty sure that just a hangover of some sort from upstream, don't think it does much (if anything) by default on ubuntu
[15:36]  * mneptok whispers "definitely"
[15:36] <dr34mc0d3r> is there a way to pass a message to another SSH loged in users console?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> dr34mc0d3r: you can use wall
[15:37] <mneptok> dr34mc0d3r: "write"
[15:37] <dr34mc0d3r> ActionParsnip - thanks - ill look it up.
[15:37] <CharminTheMoose> Is there any limit to the number of /dev/loopN devices I can have?
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> dr34mc0d3r: echo "SYSTEM BEING SHUT DOWN IN 5 MINUTES" | wall
[15:37] <raj> urlin2u, group 'admin' does not exist
[15:38] <allure> Hi ... :) I'm implementing a transparent proxy the wrong way. Squid logs are showing the gateway's IP for everything. Here are the iptables relevant rules: http://pastebin.com/YBvUfTdx -- Needing tips... Anyone? :) Thank you
[15:38] <raj> is that normal?
[15:38] <mneptok> raj: you're using Debian, yes?
[15:38] <theadmin> raj: You're not running Ubuntu, get out
[15:38] <raj> ubuntu
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> raj: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[15:38] <raj> 11.10
[15:38] <mneptok> theadmin: please watch your attitude.
[15:38] <zykotick9> CharminTheMoose: yes, there is a limit.  I read about someone hitting that limit on debian's mailing list a few weeks ago.  There was a solution as well, sorry i have no idea what it is.
[15:38] <raj> oneiric
[15:38] <theadmin> mneptok: Um, sorry.
[15:38] <raj> ActionParsnip, ^^
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> raj: ubuntu has an admin group, or you cannot do ANY admin tasks
[15:38] <mneptok> raj: please pastebin the output of "uname -a && lsb_release -a"
[15:39] <raj> i'm logged in as root
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> raj: you either deleted it or you are not using Ubuntu
[15:39] <theadmin> raj: Ubuntu doesn't allow using root account by default.
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> raj: logging in as root is not advised or needed
[15:39] <CharminTheMoose> Thanks for the tip zykotick9
[15:39] <raj> i'm on my webserver
[15:39] <raj> it's how you first log in
[15:40] <urlin2u> raj, http://imagebin.org/197104
[15:40] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: theadmin it seems some of the VPSs offering Ubuntu enable the root account :|
[15:40] <raj> mneptok, http://paste.ofcode.org/r7UtGSP8ry79Gj5C2eFY27
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> raj: its not needed. Ubuntu uses sudo for everything admin based
[15:40] <surskitty> I noticed my swap partition didn't seem to be used ever and this box keeps freezing, so I tried disabling & reenabling it and http://paste.ubuntu.com/827720/
[15:40] <raj> i'm on ubuntu server, btw
[15:40] <theadmin> urlin2u: What's that cute font in window titles?
[15:41] <raj> ActionParsnip, what's not needed?
[15:41] <urlin2u> theadmin, purisa
[15:41] <theadmin> urlin2u: Thanks
[15:41] <urlin2u> theadmin, I like it. lol. :)
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> raj: ubuntu uses sudo, which is what the admin group gives
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> raj: you are also using a 3rd party kernel, which also isn't supported here
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> http://www.linode.com/kernels/
[15:42] <gulzar> Please have a look at this http://www.pcurtis.com/ubuntu-music.htm see section "Setting up the sound system for audacity" It is showing a GUI. which is that app? and here also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Alsa_v1.0.14_ubuntu7.1_en.png . Which is this GUI? Name please. And a link will be good.
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> look familiar...?
[15:42] <mneptok> raj: the most recent released kernel on 11.10 is 3.0-15 and you're running 3.0-18
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image-generic
[15:42] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Yeah, it's likely a linode VPS...
[15:42] <dr34mc0d3r> can i use wall to pass a msg to a specific user?
[15:42] <theadmin> I dunno if we support those
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: its not the official kernel for the release, so no
[15:43] <urlin2u> raj, I guess if you have no desktop my image was no help, it is the unity desktop, 11.10
[15:43] <mneptok> raj: contact Linode support for help with your issues. what you are running is so far out of Ubuntu spec that we cannot reliably provide support for it.
[15:43] <theadmin> dr34mc0d3r: No, try: talk USERNAME MESSAGE
[15:43] <theadmin> err
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> dr34mc0d3r: http://www.htmlforums.com/unix-administration/t-send-message-to-another-terminal-64292.html
[15:43] <compdoc> raj, its best not to update parts of ubuntu on your own. Leave it the way it comes, and how its updated. Unless you have a specific reason, you'll break things
[15:44] <raj> i'm not updating
[15:44] <fasgas> how i can stop startx session to install nvidia driver?
[15:44] <raj> i just wanna add a user
[15:44] <zykotick9> gulzar: alsamixergui and/or gnome-alsamixer
[15:44] <theadmin> compdoc: (s)he's not using an official Ubuntu release.
[15:44] <theadmin> Therefore we can't support him/her
[15:44] <operatorplik> wath the hell
[15:44] <zykotick9> fasgas: installing the driver direct from nvidia.com is not recommended
[15:45] <fasgas> why zykotick9 ?
[15:45] <wisnia> does anyone knows how to install adobe reader?
[15:45] <urlin2u> raj, you might try ##linux as well they are helpful.
[15:45] <zykotick9> fasgas: every time ubuntu gets a kernel update, you'll have a broken nvidia (requiring reinstall)
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> wisnia: I believe its in the partner repo
[15:45] <auronandace> wisnia: have you tried evince instead?
[15:45] <gulzar> zykotick9: tried... alsamixergui is old app and gnoemalsamixer is basic . It is not with those amny options
[15:45] <zykotick9> fasgas: reinstall of nvidia driver i mean
[15:46] <zykotick9> gulzar: those where old screenshots, program(s) have probably changed
[15:46] <fasgas> zykotick9: but my laptop work better with nvidia .run drive
[15:46] <compdoc> raj, google is full of examples of adding users to any version of linux you can use
[15:46] <gulzar> zykotick9: Ok.. Thank You
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> o/
[15:47] <auronandace> !pm | wisnia
[15:47] <zykotick9> gulzar: gnomealsamixer becoming more basic seems to be the trend for gnome
[15:47] <gulzar> zykotick9: Ya! look like
[15:47] <MonkeyDust> !google| compdoc users come here because they can't find it on google
[15:47] <wisnia> auron:i dont know how to run a program with bin file extension
[15:47] <auronandace> !pdf | wisnia
[15:47] <raj> is there a sudoers file?
[15:48] <compdoc> yes
[15:48] <auronandace> wisnia: what is the name of the file?
[15:48] <wisnia> AdbeRdr9.4.7-1_i486linux_enu.bin
[15:48] <zykotick9> wisnia: generally, "chmod +x foo.bin" then "./foo.bin"
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> wisnia: chmod +x ./AdbeRdr9.4.7-1_i486linux_enu.bin; sudo ./AdbeRdr9.4.7-1_i486linux_enu.bin
[15:49] <auronandace> wisnia: why do you want adobe reader? do alternatives not work?
[15:49] <wisnia> thx
[15:49] <linux_is_my_hero> how do i print a kindle ebook from ubuntu?
[15:49] <zykotick9> adobereader bah... can i take my suggestion back ;)
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> linux_is_my_hero: do you mean print the book file, or print from the ebook?
[15:50] <linux_is_my_hero> actionparsnip: print the book file
[15:50] <jnsl> Ok so tell me, Spotify or Banshee? :)
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> linux_is_my_hero: calibre may do it, you may be able to print from there
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> jnsl: that is offtopic here
[15:51] <slipttees> hi all
[15:51] <auronandace> jnsl: vlc
[15:51] <slipttees> e2fsck /dev/sda3 =>  Could this be a zero-length partition. please help :(
[15:51] <slipttees> i cant mount this partition.
[15:51] <slipttees> :(
[15:51] <FloodBot1> slipttees: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:51] <doable> hi ! how could i run executable files in linux ??
[15:52] <zykotick9> slipttees: is it really ext2?  try fsck.ext4 or fsck.ext3 instead
[15:52] <slipttees> ext4 zykotick9
[15:52] <auronandace> !wine | doable
[15:52] <slipttees> zykotick9: i have much files.  cant lost
[15:52] <zykotick9> slipttees: looks like e2fsck supports ext4 so ignore my previous suggestion
[15:53] <slipttees> zykotick9: i'm run e2fsck and return: Could this be a zero-length partition
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: may need to crack out the backups :)
[15:53] <doable> ubottu : not exactly .exe, but even a.out compiled on my computer, couldn't be run on another pc (both running on ubuntu)
[15:53] <zykotick9> slipttees: doesn't sound good.  perhaps the output of "sudo fdisk -l" will shed some light?
[15:53] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: ?
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: recreate the partition and restore data from backup
[15:54] <slipttees> zykotick9: i can see partition 83 type
[15:54] <MrKeuner> hi, can I safely delete files under /dev/shm?
[15:54] <MrKeuner> rkhunter complains about them
[15:54] <theadmin> doable: Are they marked executable?
[15:55] <doable> i've tried chomod 777 a.out
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> doable: then run ./a.out    with your terminal in the same folder as the file..
[15:55] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: im lost :(
[15:56] <kalimojo> i dont have the system menu . 11.10 with gnome.
[15:56] <doable> yeah...i did, but its not running
[15:56] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: fsck.ext4 won't work too
[15:56] <doable> while compiling the same .c file on that pc was running properly.
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: its simple, the data is gone but if its important you will have made backups on some removable storage. Format the partition to a stable state then put the data back on
[15:56] <zykotick9> doable: are both machines the same architecture?  x86 or amd64?  or a mix?
[15:57] <artao> hai .. again
[15:57] <LemonAid> Hello. I have multiple interconnected monitors (11.10). How can i set the individual refresh rate?
[15:57] <artao> install question
[15:57] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: i don't known data back on linux :(
[15:57] <urlin2u> !ask > artao
[15:57] <doable> zykotick9: not certain about that
[15:57] <artao> currently at partitioning stage ... i used guided partitioning .. it made my primary linux partition ntfs, but i want ext4, yes?
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: so you don't know how to copy files to a USB drive?
[15:58] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: i can't mount partition!
[15:58] <satty> inproper behaviour of synaptics
[15:58] <kalimojo> i dont have the system menu . 11.10 with gnome.
[15:58] <urlin2u> artao, yes
[15:58] <zykotick9> doable: binaries aren't exactly the most portable of things.  Well good luck.  FYI to find kernel architecture you can use "uname -m"
[15:58] <urlin2u> satty, ?
[15:59] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: I do not have access to partition
[15:59] <satty> urlin2u, drag and drop is not properly working
[15:59] <doable> thanks for the help ! may be that's the problem...
[15:59] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: no mounts
[15:59] <urlin2u> artao, in synaptic, can you explain?
[15:59] <zykotick9> urlin2u: i'm thinking synaptic touchpad perhaps?
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: yes but you did at some point, and you could have easily backed up the data
[15:59] <artao> eh? is the partitioner called synaptic?
[16:00] <urlin2u> artao, ubuntu ont make a ntfs for itself, can you explain more.
[16:00] <urlin2u> wont*
[16:00] <satty> zykotick9, yes you are right
[16:00] <urlin2u> zykotick9, ah that makes sense. :)
[16:00] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: okay, but, i don't have any backup...
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: why not?
[16:01] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: cause not... im jonkey :(
[16:01] <urlin2u> artao, look at the nic of who is being addressed, synaptic is a package manager.
[16:01] <artao> i chose guided partitioning on a drive that WAS all NTFS, chose 60% for install partition, and it looks to me like it made it NTFS. I want that as ext4, and the rest as NTFS - except the swap, yes?
[16:01] <urlin2u> artao, open gparted to see what the partitions are.
[16:01] <sybariten> oh hai
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: you may find success with foremost. I suggest you get a backup. You have learned the value of backup the hardest possible way
[16:02] <zykotick9> artao: ubuntu can install directly onto NTFS, so i highly doubt it created an NTFS partition
[16:02] <Antonis> Hello guys. I want to connect my TI83-Plus with my Ubuntu 11.10 but I am not sure how to do it. Every method/guide I have read is at least 3-4 years old and links are usually not working or libs are not being installed. Does anyone know how to or maybe can point me to the right direction? I want just to transfer some text files to open them on my calculator.. (if possible that is)
[16:02] <artao> i'm in the installer tho
[16:02] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: now, i need get access to partition and back data.
[16:02] <franco> Hi! how can I check if an hard disk has been correctly "zeroed" out by dd ? strings /dev/disk prints nothing... that's it?
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: see above...
[16:02] <patrunjel> I goofed around a little with tune2fs, and now dumpe2fs outputs normally, but when it finishes outputting all the regular information, it goes crazy and start outputing what I think are inode groups. What can I do to stop that? (the filesystem runs as usual)
[16:02] <zykotick9> artao: s/ubuntu can install/ubuntu can't install/
[16:02] <satty> anybody around here to resolve the issue of synaptic touchpad
[16:02] <Barcel0> hi all
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> franco: could try foremost on it, nothing should be recovered
[16:02] <Barcel0> Can anyone help me? I need to configure casper and isolinux, is that I have created a livecd of a custom system, but I need to add an entry to allow entry only to start a system console
[16:02] <urlin2u> Antonis, I think you need to use windows for that calculator.
[16:02] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: i see
[16:03] <sybariten> i am trying to run thttpd . In the thttpd.conf, which i point to when starting the server, i have  logfile=/var/log/thttpd.log     now, i think the server is up and running coz i can get to a test page via the IP. However i cant see any logfile like that being created.
[16:03] <sybariten> What should i check?  server is run as www-data
[16:03] <sybariten> i need the log file to see if my document root is badly defined....
[16:03] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: has no way to get access the partition and back up?
[16:04] <urlin2u> Antonis, I have a t84, as I remember it is not linux friendly coverall ould be wrong though
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> (16:02:05) ActionParsnip: slipttees: you may find success with foremost.
[16:04] <urlin2u> could*
[16:04] <izinucs> What's the easiest way to "show desktop" ie minimize all open windows?
[16:04] <Antonis> urlin2u, but people have done it before? I have the same feeling but got hope from different forums I found.. the main problem is that they are outdated :\
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> !info foremost | slipttees
[16:04] <theadmin> izinucs: Super+D normally works
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: superL + D
[16:04] <franco> ActionParsnip, is there a way to just print the content of disk ? shouldn't strings command prints 00000 and so on?
[16:04] <izinucs> theadmin: ActionParsnip thanks..
[16:04] <doable> its me again...i'm not able to access a disk partition (100GB), which i assigned as swap space while installing ubuntu
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> franco: you may be able to cat the filesystem, not sure
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> doable: 100Gb swap, wowsers
[16:05] <sw0rdfish> hey ummm, what can I use to make a bootable win7 USB installer
[16:05] <auronandace> doable: 100gb swap space?
[16:05] <urlin2u> Antonis, not that I know of but I know little lol, check the web I doubt you will get an answer here,just a heads up really.
[16:05] <zykotick9> doable: did you really create a 100GB swap?  you can't access a swap partition.
[16:05] <doable> silly! but didn't know much about it
[16:05] <mneptok> doable: are you a Windows user?
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> sw0rdfish: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html
[16:06] <urlin2u> sw0rdfish, you can make a ntfs with a bootflag and extract the iso to it=the usb.
[16:06] <mneptok> doable: swap space = pagefile.sys
[16:06] <doable> i am, but switching to ubuntu
[16:06] <theadmin> doable: swap is kind of addition for RAM, Linux dumps stuff not currently really used from RAM to swap
[16:06] <doable> could I reduce the size of swap space
[16:06] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: humm..... i try... first i need repair partition.. mkfs.ext4...after, use foremost?
[16:06] <zykotick9> doable: generally, swap should be equal to your RAM (but there are many different cases).  If you really created a 100GB swap, I'd urge you to recreate your partitions
[16:06] <Barcel0> Can anyone help me? I need to configure casper and isolinux, is that I have created a livecd of a custom system, but I need to add an entry to allow entry only to start a system console
[16:06] <sw0rdfish> thanks ActionParsnip :)
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: just use foremost on the partition as is
[16:07] <theadmin> Barcel0: Add "text" to the kernel line for that entry
[16:07] <raj> is there an aptitude alternative to sudo apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> sw0rdfish: why could I find that and you couldn't?
[16:07] <urlin2u> Barcel0, Ubunbtu?
[16:07] <urlin2u> ubuntu
[16:07] <doable> zykotick9: that means , i lose all my data?
[16:07] <Barcel0> yes ubuntu
[16:07] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: i try live CD.
[16:07] <slipttees> :D
[16:07] <sw0rdfish> i actually didn't know what to searcha ActionParsnip I just searched for unetbootin and read its page and found out it can only create bootable stuff for linux distros
[16:07] <kalimojo> i dont have the system menu . 11.10 with gnome.
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> sw0rdfish: http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ix=sea&ie=UTF-8&ion=1#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&site=webhp&source=hp&q=ubuntu%20make%20windows%207%20usb&pbx=1&oq=&aq=&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&fp=10ab80d8c7b866ba&ix=sea&ion=1&ix=sea&ion=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=10ab80d8c7b866ba&biw=1280&bih=695&ix=sea&ion=1
[16:07] <zykotick9> doable: if you have data to loose, then you could try to resize stuff (but 100GB swap is a HUGE waste of space)
[16:07] <Antonis> urlin2u, I will thank you! =)
[16:08] <bambu85> hi all - my ubuntu 11.10 install isn't showing the grub menu on boot-up by default. How can i make it visible on boot? I'm looking at my /etc/default/grub
[16:08] <Barcel0> theadmin, I've done that did not work
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> bambu85: hold shift at boot and it will show
[16:08] <raj> ActionParsnip, is there an aptitude alternative to sudo apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded
[16:08] <izinucs> doable: 6 gigs of swap is plenty
[16:08] <artao> ... i sure hope i'm not formatting my primary windows drive
[16:08] <artao> ;)
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> raj: i don't use aptituse
[16:08] <urlin2u> Antonis, no problem if you get it running let me know. :)
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> *aptitude
[16:08] <doable> zykotick9: ok. thanks!
[16:08] <raj> you prefer apt-get?
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> raj: never had an issue with it
[16:08] <zykotick9> bambu85: look for hidden options i believe
[16:08] <linskyrate> hi there :)
[16:09] <raj> k
[16:09] <doable> izinucs: i'll try that in next install.
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> raj: I actually use apt-fast
[16:09] <bambu85> ActionParsnip: I've tried holding shift, and it doesn't show.
[16:09] <elijah> How can I specify multiple files with scp?
[16:09] <bambu85> zykotick9: ok will do
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> bambu85: strange
[16:09] <linskyrate> is there a ready made package for Backtracker 5 to install in Ubuntu 11.10?
[16:10] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: thanks
[16:10] <izinucs> doable: you might also consider separating your /home directory to its own partition.  It makes reinstall/upgrades a lot easier and you have less chance of loosing your data.
[16:10] <elijah> I try scp ~/file1 file 2 elijah@hostname.com:~/ and it only copies the first file
[16:10] <bambu85> do I need to change this line? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ?
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: again, get a backup!!!
[16:10] <Barcel0> theadmin, I had do this:  kernel /casper/vmlinuz  append  boot=casper text initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --
[16:10] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: okay okay homie
[16:10] <slipttees> :D
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> bambu85: if you want to see grub I believe you need to change: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
[16:10] <bambu85> thanks!
[16:10] <theadmin> Barcel0: Well, add "text" to this at the very end
[16:10] <awhitehatter> so my wireless card has decided to stop connecting to networks...I can see them, i try to connect it rejects the password. It's the right password, other devices connect just fine...I tried both Network-Manager and WICD, I get the same result. Any thoughts where to look next? Using BCM4312 card
[16:11] <bambu85> ActionParsnip: so that should be set to true? ok
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> bambu85: if you want to boot to CLI only then theadmin's advise will sort you
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> bambu85: read and think ;)
[16:11] <pconwell> does a combo cd/dvd drive show up differently in /dev/ depedning on if it's a cd or dvd in the drive?
[16:11] <pconwell> or is it always /dev/sr0 (or whatever(
[16:12] <theadmin> pconwell: Nah it's usually just srN where N is a number from 0 to infinity
[16:12] <bambu85> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[16:12] <urlin2u> awhitehatter, you have seen the broadcom wiki?
[16:12] <zykotick9> raj: regarding your aptitude question, have you seen -s simulate?
[16:12] <Barcel0>  theadmin , so? kernel /casper/vmlinuz  append  boot=casper  initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash  text
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> pconwell: if you put in a DVD then /dev/dvd will be used
[16:12] <pconwell> theadmin: thanks... I'm having issues with ddrescue
[16:13] <raj> zykotick9, no I haven't
[16:13] <theadmin> Barcel0: Something like this, I'm not familiar with syslinux actually
[16:13] <pconwell> ActionParsnip: as opposed to /dev/cdrom?
[16:13] <raj> I'll just use apt-get for now
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> pconwell: if you run:   sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive     you will see the device names
[16:13] <pconwell> ActionParsnip: cool
[16:13] <raj> I usually substitute aptitude for apt-get, and usually works
[16:13] <raj> but in this case it didn't
[16:13] <Barcel0> ok thank! theadmin :)
[16:13] <Barcel0> urlin2u, yes I use ubuntu
[16:14] <urlin2u> Barcel0, cool look like you got help. :D
[16:14] <urlin2u> loos*
