[15:26] <LjL> dak0: no, it downloads the version provided with your Ubuntu release. is there a reason why you need to use the latest version?
[15:26] <dak0> Yes, to play online
[15:26] <Stereocaulon> dak0, sure it does, the latest version included in the software sources you have selected.
[15:26] <LukeNukem_> Stereocaulon, ok the article says just go to ubuntu center and install Gnone 3
[15:27] <basil_kurian_> I have problem with authenticating  LDAP user in apache on group basis. Please see this configuration
[15:27] <basil_kurian_> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/821277/
[15:27] <basil_kurian_> This is the error that I'm getting on error_log
[15:27] <basil_kurian_> [error] [client <IP_ADDRESS>] access to / failed, reason: require directives present and no Authoritative handler
[15:27] <basil_kurian_>  I 'm able to authenticate users on user basis.but on group basis it is not working
[15:27] <FloodBot1> basil_kurian_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:27] <basil_kurian_> This is the error that I 'm getting on ldap server (running on debug mode) http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/821299/
[15:27] <dak0> once i installed from ubuntu software center, and that wasnt lastest...
[15:28] <LjL> dak0: open a shell and run the .run file, with or without sudo (i don't know where it tries to install, try without first).
[15:28] <shaneo> hey guys im getting alot of 404 errors today when running apt anyone else?
[15:28] <LjL> shaneo: pastebin the output
[15:28] <Stereocaulon> shaneo, choose another mirror then
[15:28] <shaneo> ok
[15:29] <basil_kurian_> please look into my issue
[15:29] <io_mp>  /EXEC rm -vf /tmp/budus_XDCC__home_io_5207.quer
[15:29] <shaneo> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/821357/
[15:29] <shaneo> LjL: nice to see you again by the way :)
[15:31] <adamrb> I've somehow ended up with three bootloaders after installing 11.10...anyone have any tips for sorting out the mess (other than wiping and reinstalling)?
[15:31] <LjL> shaneo: ugh, what a mix and match of repositories
[15:31] <shaneo> is there a way to wipe and start clean
[15:32] <adamrb> when I first start up, I get the grub2 bootloader from 9.04, then if I select my Windows entry, I get a Windows bootloader giving me a choice of Windows (recovered) or Ubuntu, and if I choose Ubuntu, I get the new 11.04 bootloader.
[15:32] <LjL> shaneo: paste your current /etc/apt/sources.list (but those -5 errors will not simply be solved by removing repositories, need to investigate)
[15:32] <shaneo> LjL: ok 1 sec
[15:33] <adamrb> * new 11.10 bootloader
[15:33] <LjL> shaneo: also, what happens if you try "host downloads.virtualbox.org"?
[15:34] <LjL> shaneo: sorry, i mean "host download.virtualbox.org"
[15:34] <shaneo> LjL: download.virtualbox.org is an alias for dlc.sun.com.
[15:34] <shaneo> dlc.sun.com has address <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:35] <shaneo> LjL:http://paste.ubuntu.com/821359/
[15:35] <LjL> shaneo: ok, so it's a problem with apt only
[15:35] <luna> !list
[15:35] <LjL> shaneo: are you connecting through a router?
[15:35] <gartral> hello all, I'm looking for a virtual pet "toy" application, I'm not talking about AMOR, I want somthing a little more along the lines of the old "Petz" program.. anything like that around?
[15:35] <luna> ciao
[15:35] <luna> !list
[15:35] <shaneo> LjL: i switched sources server from US to Main and now only get 4 errors
[15:35] <shaneo> yes
[15:36] <LjL> shaneo: what errors are those now, just 404's, or also still some -5's?
[15:36] <cococolo> hiž
[15:36] <shaneo> LjL: one -5 and 3 404's
[15:37] <shaneo> the -5 is for playonlinux
[15:37] <shaneo> LjL: sorry 2 404's and a 401
[15:38] <LjL> shaneo: well the 404's are just old repositories i believe. the -5, i suspect it's your router not being very good at resolving DNS. you could switch to a separate DNS server in NetworkManager (Google has free ones, for example), or you could just remove some of the useless non-Oneiric repositories and see if it gets better. going to give you an updated sources.list
[15:39] <nahuel__> hi, please thespanish chanel , thanks
[15:39] <acicula> !es
[15:40] <shaneo> LjL: how do i add the DNS from google
[15:40] <LjL> shaneo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/821367/ <- not too many changes here, as some of your (broken) repositories are also stored in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, so you might want to remove some of those too
[15:41] <theadmin> shaneo: Just a list with all the official repos: https://pzt.me/4jqj
[15:42] <LjL> shaneo: well i run KDE so i'm not sure NetworkManager is exactly the same as for you, but, click on the network icon at the top right, and in your connection, set "Automatic (DHCP) Addresses Only", and in the DNS field, put <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:42] <mapo> !list
[15:44] <shaneo> LjL: ok im gonna try apt after setting the DNS well see what happens
[15:44] <shaneo> theadmin: thanks
[15:45] <basil_kurian_> Someone please look into my issue
[15:46] <shaneo> LjL: two 404s and a 401 im just gonna remove those ones
[15:47] <Guest63004> Hey guys, I really need some help
[15:47] <Guest63004> Every time I try to download something, my 'Ubuntu Software Manager' won't start up
[15:47] <Guest63004> Even when I click on it, it won't start up
[15:47] <Diamondcite> How does it not start up?
[15:48] <Guest63004> I just click, and nothing happens
[15:48] <Guest63004> :/
[15:48] <nimbiotics> Hello all. Ive got a user 'firebird' created by the firebird RDBMS. This user owns a certain file that I need to move (a dtabase). How can I do this? TIA!
[15:49] <Guest63004> I tried re-installing, it worked, but i closed it and, now i can't open it again :/
[15:49] <Guest63004> Can anyone help me?
[15:49] <Diamondcite> Guest63004: Normally I would say try to run it from the command line to see what type of error message shows up.
[15:49] <Guest63004> Sorry if the answer is obvious :/
[15:49] <Guest63004> Okay, :) how would i do that :)
[15:50] <shaneo> Guest63004: you need to remove the cache in software center i had the same problem for a long time and that was the fix i found
[15:50] <Guest63004> I just changed from Windows so i know little :P
[15:50] <Diamondcite> I have no idea what the commandline for the software center is... (ubuntu isn't running at the moment)
[15:50] <Guest63004> Let me write thhis down :) Thank you all
[15:50] <shaneo> Guest63004: also congrats on your switch
[15:50] <Guest63004> Thanks, it definitely looks cooler
[15:50] <tomKat> hey, is this the chanell where thee ubuntu dev week sessions will be held?
[15:51] <pangolin> tomKat: in #ubuntu-classroom
[15:51] <tomKat> Alright Thanks!
[15:51] <Guest63004> Okay, so how do I delete the cache?
[15:51] <adamrb> this is my boot info: http://paste.ubuntu.com/821378/ in case anyone has any ideas on how to fix it
[15:51] <Diamondcite> Guest63004: try to open a 'terminal'
[15:51] <Diamondcite> and then running 'software-center' no quotes.
[15:51] <mellin> Might I add Guest63004 if you highlight the text you need to copy and double click it will copy to clipboard. Then open a blank file and paste...You can also enable logging if you are using xchat and it will save it all
[15:52] <pangolin> tomKat: you will also want to join #ubuntu-classroom-chat
[15:52] <Guest63004> thanks :) And yep, terminal works
[15:52] <tomKat> I'll check that out too pangolin
[15:52] <antoniol_> Hey! Who knows how to run "confity" to confiig Unity. When I click on confity.py and press Run nothing happens
[15:52] <bapsx> why if I do "service networking stop" then start it back up again my internet connection doesn't come back up until I reboot?
[15:52] <zgr> why native client isn't shipped in ubuntu with chromium?
[15:53] <Barbariandude> antoniol_, right-click, go to properties, and make sure it has run permissions
[15:53] <Guest63004> Okay, so i've opened the terminal, :) Can i delete the cache using it?
 yes, it has
[15:53] <Barbariandude> antoniol_, what happens if you choose run in terminal^
[15:53] <mellin> Guest63004: You can do ANYTHING from the command line if you know how :-)
[15:53] <Barbariandude> *?
[15:54] <Guest63004> Haha :D
[15:54] <Guest63004> In time i suppose
[15:54] <Diamondcite> Guest63004: I am not sure where to delete the cache, but if you tried typing in: software-center     does it still break? If so what was shown in the terminal?
[15:54] <Guest63004> Okay one sec
[15:54] <mellin> Certainly...
[15:54] <Barbariandude> Guest63004, this isn't MS dos, the terminal in unix-based machines are crazy-powerful
[15:54] <Guest63004> Haha
[15:54] <Guest63004> Right one sec
[15:55] <mellin> Diamondcite: Where is the default cache created for software-center?

[16:02] <Mixxit> hello!
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/confity/
[16:03] <danny_> if i want to have two ubuntu partitions, do i have to create another swap space? or will they use the same one?
[16:03] <Stereocaulon> hi Mixxit
[16:03] <luk> hi i cant join the gnome gaiming zone with the chess game on my ubuntu it says time out what can be the problem?
[16:03] <Mixxit> i just installed ubuntu =)
[16:03] <mongy> danny_, they can share it.
[16:03] <Barbariandude> Mixxit, congrats :D
[16:03] <Stereocaulon> Mixxit, good for you!
[16:03] <Mixxit> thanks it looks really nice!
[16:03] <pangolin> danny_: when you install use the advanced setup at the pertioning step and tell it to use the existing /swap
[16:03] <dr_willis> danny_:  if you dint use hibernate or suspend they can share
[16:03] <Mixxit> i have some usability questions, wondered if you could help me out =)
[16:04] <danny_> mongy - thnx mate. gonna try out the kubuntu. took me 3 years to have a look at K. :)
[16:04] <Stereocaulon> Mixxit, of course, shoot!
[16:04] <Mixxit> i prefer chrome to firefox but can't seem to make the launcher thingy go all the way to the top in place of firefox
[16:04] <newbie|2> almost done :)
[16:05] <Stereocaulon> Mixxit, you can select another browser in the preferences.
[16:05] <danny_> dr_willis : aha, so before changing to the other partition i should properly shut down the first one?
[16:05] <Barbariandude> Mixxit, hold down leftclick on chrome, wait until it comes off the launcher, then drag it where you want
[16:05] <Mixxit> ahh hold it down!
[16:05] <Mixxit> yay! worked :-D
[16:05] <dr_willis> and chant the ubuntu theme song
[16:05] <Mixxit> ok i also play minecraft and to launch it i need to use a shell script but when i double click on .sh files it opens up a text editor
[16:06] <Barbariandude> Mixxit, rightclick on the file, go to properties, and click the checkbox giving it run permissions
[16:07] <Mixxit> seems to be doing something!
[16:07] <nimbiotics> Barbariandude: I didnt want to change ownership. I used this command line: sudo -U firebird -l cp data/tipsman.fdb tipsman/data/tipsman.fdb
[16:07] <luk> Hey why cant i join the ggzgaming zone in the Chess game on ubuntu
[16:07] <ismat> my ubuntu cant restart and shutdown...how to solve it?
[16:07] <Barbariandude> ismat, that's a bit vague, you're going to have to be more descriptive
[16:08] <Barbariandude> nimbiotics, not familiar with firebird, sorry :(
[16:08] <newbie|2> AHA - IT says this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/821409/plain/
[16:08] <ismat> can u help me
[16:08] <newbie|2> WOOOO
[16:08] <Stereocaulon> ismat, we maybe able to help you *if* you are a bit more descriptive.
[16:09] <newbie|2> So :) What to do now?
[16:09] <metasansana> ismat: did you try sudo shutdown -r 0 ??
[16:10] <ismat> yes
[16:10] <ismat> but it hang
[16:10] <theadmin> ismat: How does it hang? Do you get a black screen?
[16:10] <ismat> yes
[16:10] <ismat> black screen only
[16:10] <Barbariandude> newbie|2, looks like you've got a broken source. Open up software sources in the dash
[16:10] <theadmin> ismat: I recently had a similar problem. Try adding this to your kernel line: reboot=bios
[16:11] <newbie|2> Right, okay :)  done :)
[16:11] <nimbiotics> Barbariandude: that didnt do the trick anyways. I did not report an error at all; it just did not copy the file as expected
[16:11] <Mixxit> thanks!
[16:11] <Mixxit> thats worked just great
[16:12] <Barbariandude> newbie|2, any weird sources there that don't look like the others?
[16:12] <ismat> thanks
[16:12] <ismat> i will try it
[16:12] <Mixxit> is there a default shell i should be using with ubuntu?
[16:12] <Mixxit> i tried searching for console and shell in the Dash
[16:12] <newbie|2> Barbariandude: Hmm, It says - downloadable from the internet
[16:12] <Mixxit> but nothing came up
[16:12] <LjL> Mixxit: try searching for terminal
[16:12] <nachete85> Hello!
[16:12] <Stereocaulon> Mixxit, that 's the beauty of Linux, you can just *choose* what shell you prefer :-)
[16:12] <Mixxit> aha!
[16:12] <Barbariandude> Mixxit, like with absolutely everything linux, it's mostly personal preference. I like xterm.
[16:13] <nachete85> I have a isuue
[16:13] <Mixxit> yay a terminal!
[16:13] <newbie|2> Barbariandude: Okay, well in all fairness, i don't really understand what you mean :P sorry
[16:13] <nimbiotics> Barbariandude: that didnt do the trick anyways. I did not report an error at all; it just did not copy the file as expected
[16:14] <Barbariandude> newbie|2, what do you have under "other software"?
[16:14] <nachete85> After install first Windows7 and after Ubuntu 11.10, I cant access to W7 from grub, any idea?
[16:14] <nimbiotics> Please help; Hello all. Ive got a user 'firebird' created by the firebird RDBMS. This user owns a certain file that I need to move (a dtabase). How can I do this? TIA!
[16:14] <rebe> best linux alternative for truecrypt is ?
[16:14] <Barbariandude> nachete85, have you tried "sudo update-grub"?
[16:15] <Barbariandude> rebe, try alternativeto.net
[16:15] <theadmin> rebe: Truecrypt has a Linux version.
[16:15] <nachete85> No, I didnt
[16:15] <Mixxit> ok this one might not be possible but i hear some people do this quite well i've never had much success with other distros
[16:15] <newbie|2> Barbariandude: Canonical Partners - Unchecked / Canonical partners (source code) - unchecked / Independent - checked / independent (source code) - checked
[16:15] <Mixxit> i love Homeworld for windows and would like to play it if possible
[16:15] <Mixxit> what's the correct modern way of doing that?
[16:15] <nachete85> I'll try and I'll come back! Thanks
[16:15] <Barbariandude> newbie|2, so nothing out of the defaults... hmmm, that is strange
[16:15] <pangolin> !appdb | Mixxit
[16:16] <Mixxit> thank you!
[16:16] <acicula> rebe: depends on what you need, the default encrypted home directory is pretty good
[16:16] <newbie|2> Barbariandude: I take it, that's not good :/ Is there a way of 'deleting the cache' someone said it earlier on
[16:17] <Barbariandude> newbie|2, can you type "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in a terminal, then pastebin the contents?
 what about confity?
[16:17] <newbie|2> Barbariandude: Sure
[16:17] <malex_> hi everybody!
 Hi!
[16:17] <Barbariandude> antoniol_, I really don't know, sorry :( maybe try #unity and see if anyone there knows

[16:21] <Barbariandude> newbie|2, type in a terminal "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list", go to the last line, and delete the weird malformed characters at the beginning and end of the line, then save
[16:21] <dlentz> Barbariandude, should be gksu gedit ;)
[16:22] <malexio> hey guys, which irc client do u suggest ?

[16:24] <dlentz> pangolin, what's the exact difference again?
[16:24] <newbie|2> Barbariandude: So, a gedit file came up, the last line is - deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org experimental-lucid main
[16:24] <Barbariandude> newbie|2, before or after you fixed it? If after, that's correct
[16:25] <newbie|2> Barbariandude: YES!  Loving the world right now

[16:44] <LjL> yarak: what are those unicode characters you put at the end of each of your messages? they're a bit annoying :\
[16:44] <rcmaehl> Barbariandude: he probably needs to find the module for his specific brand of laptop and install it. Then control the fan from the packages provided from the module
[16:44] <dak0> LjL
[16:44] <dak0> how are you
[16:44] <rcmaehl> Such as for my samsung laptop.

[16:45] <rcmaehl> he's using mirc /ctcp yarak version
[16:45] <yarak> rcmaehl: no, i just masked my ctcp version

[16:47] <Viliny> Hello, im running all our traffic in our flat through a ubuntu server running a dhcp server and 2 network cards. I'd like to block certain websites temporarily, whats the best way to do this? block the IP addresses in the firewall? Interfere with the browser in some way?
[16:47] <Barbariandude> My asus has ubuntu drivers as of 3.2.  Sorry, im stressed out with school work and work work and i thought that was a sopa thing.
[16:50] <FloodBot1> aasasd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:50] <yarak> what do you mean?
[16:50] <Barbariandude> dak0, you can share with other ubuntu one users
[16:51] <LjL> yarak, i really need to ask you to look into what might be causing this, or people here will keep complaining
[16:51] <dak0> Thank you, Barbariandude
[16:51] <auronandace> yarak: you are doing it on purpose, eveyone else can see it
[16:51] <Chat2856> Hi
[16:52] <Barbariandude> o/
[16:52] <yarak> why are u being unfriendly
[16:52]  * CyberDawg glares at yarak
[16:52] <yarak> ???
[16:52] <Barbariandude> lol at the mass nerdrage
[16:52] <Viliny> i can see nothing wrong with yarak
[16:52] <yarak> i'm not crazy
[16:52] <yarak> i don't think
[16:53] <Chat2856> ?
[16:53] <Viliny> also, thank you for the earlier reply popey, sorry i misunderstood.
[16:53] <popey> Viliny: np, apologies for asking you to google when I could have given you a link
[16:53] <yarak> i just came in here b/c my laptop fan wouldn't shut off
[16:53] <yarak> not to get attacked
[16:54] <Myrtti> moving on, kids
[16:54] <metasansana> lol
[16:54] <Viliny> popey, as i said back there, i thought it was a sopa/pipa thing with me here censoring the internets and whatnot. Thing is, i want to block facebook and other similar sites for tomorrow when me and my classmate/roommate need to do a tonne of schoolwork so he can stay on focus.
[16:55] <vivekimsit> I want to know any epub reader for my ebooks
[16:55] <Barbariandude> Viliny, http://visitsteve.com/made/selfcontrol/
[16:55] <roj> i need to help in internet connection sharing in linux
[16:55] <popey> Viliny: one way to do it is setup your server to use opendns, then you get a nice web admin tool on the opendns servers to manage blocking lists
[16:55] <popey> Viliny: then switch back to normal dns later
[16:55] <Barbariandude> Viliny, oh, that's for mac, sorry
[16:56] <Viliny> i have never used osx and never intend to do so... furthermore, im not doing this to control myself but another individual who owes me 20 hours of schoolwork i had to do alone despite it being a team project.
[16:56] <Gnea> !ics | roj
[16:57] <Viliny> roj: firestarter is also pretty nifty if you want to get it done easily... unless someone here tells you thats a bad idea.
[16:58] <Viliny> popey, currently we are using our isp:s dns server at home, this means that the dhcp is handing out the dns address for our isp. If i run a dns server locally, how will it work?
[16:58] <Lynette> Right I've been directed here by one of my more computer-competent friends to ask well, anybody here for help.
[16:58] <Viliny> im sorry if i go into network talk here but i might need some refreshing on memorizing all of this again
[16:59] <damselfly9> question- my dmesg logs are being cut-off, on every boot the beginning parts are missing, how is that fixable?
[16:59] <yarak> alexxx: irc'ing as root is a bad idea
[16:59] <Gnea> Viliny: as long as your bind9 knows the current root server list, it should just work
[16:59] <Viliny> Gnea: the opendns server _will just work_ when swapped to ?
[17:00] <Viliny> reading up on bind9...
[17:00] <yarak> waiting for bind10
[17:00] <yarak> lol
[17:00] <Viliny> so dns uses bind9 to query hostnames for ips?
[17:00] <yarak> :)
[17:00] <Gnea> Viliny: well, installing bind9 locally will give you a dns server on your gateway/fw/whatever you're using to connect with
[17:00] <Gnea> Viliny: bind9 *is* a dns server
[17:00] <auronandace> Lynette: you'll need to describe your problem to get help
[17:00] <Gnea> !info bind9
[17:00] <pangolin> yarak: Please figure out why your client keeps posting those unknown characters or i will be forced to remove you.
[17:01] <yarak> that is unfriendly, friend
[17:01] <Gnea> Viliny: it's basically what the root dns servers use
[17:01] <yarak> i checked my xchat settings
[17:01] <Viliny> Gnea: this would then be instead of opendns?
[17:01] <yarak> i don't see anything
[17:01] <acicula> cant he just have a weird encoding set thats messing it up?
[17:01] <Lynette> Question (make the answer easy, I'm rubbish with computers): Say I wanted to play a game for Windows 95 on Ubuntu using Wine or PlayOnLinux, and then during the installation the game asks me to enable Audio Compression on Windows 95, (despite the fact that I'm running it on either PlayOnLinux or Wine), How would I go about doing this
[17:01] <yarak> can anyone help?
[17:01] <Viliny> Gnea: im getting a little confused on the construction here, which components do i need?
[17:01] <popey> Viliny: i am not suggesting you setup a dns server, but that you point your /etc/resolv.conf on your server at opendns
[17:02] <Lynette> auronandace: that's why the quesiton took so long :)
[17:02] <dak0> Hey, witch Linux distro you'll recommend for a cyber club (internet cafe) ?
[17:02] <auronandace> Lynette: thats more of a wine question, ask in #winehq
[17:02] <Lynette> ah okay
[17:02] <Lynette> thanks
[17:02] <Gnea> Viliny: I don't see any reason to not use opendns... but from what I've read of your plight so far, you're trying to set it up so that social networking sites are blocked locally for a temporary amount of time?
[17:02] <yarak> dak0: losethos
[17:02] <dak0> yarak, whats that ?
[17:03] <Viliny> Gnea: exactly
[17:03] <Gnea> yarak: try #xchat
[17:03] <xangua> dak0: if you are in the ubuntu channel, what suggestion do you expect¿
[17:03] <yarak> but xchat is part of ubuntu
[17:03] <Viliny> dak0 linux mint seems to be friendly on windows users.
[17:03] <andai> I just got a 2nd hand computer with a broken CD drive. I don't have a spare CD drive. Can I put its hard drive in my good computer, install ubuntu on there, then put it back in? I.e. is it smart enough to detect the changed hardware and load the appropriate drivers when I put it back
[17:03] <Gnea> yarak: it's a specific program, so you need to get specific help, which we don't necessarily provide here
[17:03] <dak0> Viliny, thanks for your reply.
[17:04] <Viliny> dak0:  no worries, now do mind the fact that this is #ubuntu ;)
[17:04] <metasansana> Viliny: why not block the sites through your hosts file?
[17:04] <Gnea> Viliny: are you using squid?
[17:04] <Viliny> metasansana im open for all suggestions
[17:04] <dak0> Viliny: I can`t see why we shoudlnt talk about others distros they are all unix based
[17:04] <Viliny> Gnea: not at the moment no, used to use it on my old server
[17:04] <dak0> like Ubuntu
[17:04] <andai> dak0: it's like religions
[17:04] <auronandace> dak0: you might get a more neutral answer in ##linux
[17:04] <andai> :D
[17:05] <dak0> Thank you, auronandace
[17:05] <ssta> dak0: just not in #ubuntu, which is specifically for ubuntu...like the name says
[17:05] <metasansana> Put a line like <IP_ADDRESS> facebook.com in your hosts file
[17:05] <dak0> Okey sorry guys.
[17:05] <Viliny> dak0: linux is actually built upon ubuntu which is built upon debian and so forth... as far as i know. But it's not ok to discuss other than ubuntu specific stuff here.
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> dak0: the channel is ubuntu support only, there is #linux where all distros are discussed
[17:05] <Viliny> linux mint*
[17:05] <Gnea> Viliny: or do like metasansana suggested... much easier
[17:05] <metasansana> I do that with my debian router :)
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> Viliny: linux built on ubuntu? you sure
[17:05] <Viliny> Gnea: gladly, where do i look for the hosts file?
[17:05] <andai> dak0: Ii have similar problems when #ubuntu is the only active channel with people who probably know the answer to my question
[17:05] <Viliny> ActionParsnip: i ment linux mint
[17:05] <Gnea> Viliny: /etc/hosts
[17:05] <metasansana> /etc/hosts Viliny
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> Viliny: ;)
[17:06] <Viliny> ;p
[17:06] <Viliny> thank you people
[17:06] <andai> so let me rephrase: Can I install Ubuntu for another computer by putting its hard drive into this one? Will that work OK?
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> andai: sure
[17:06] <dsf4r4> [question] while configuring Network Proxy in System settings, there is no option to give user+pass. IIRC, older ubuntu used to have a small button titled 'Authenticate'.
[17:06] <Gnea> andai: yes
[17:06] <andai> ActionParsnip: Great. Thanks.
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> andai: just get it setup then after the first reboot, transfer the drive
[17:07] <Viliny> andai: ubuntu seems to have very little problems when switching hardware... etc computer to computer. but have noticed third party graphics drivers for cards like nvidia might take offense
[17:07] <dsf4r4> why was it removed?
[17:08] <pangolin> dsf4r4: might want to report a bug
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> dsf4r4: are there any bugs reported?
[17:08] <andai> Gnea, ActionParsnip, Viliny: Thanks! :)
[17:08] <iceroot> is there an easy way to get the diff of two deb-files? (not the source-package) without extracting them first?
[17:09] <Gnea> iceroot: define 'deb-file'
[17:09] <dsf4r4> ActionParsnip: not that i know of
[17:09] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: are yu facing this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/906825
[17:09] <ssta> dsf4r4: it's not Ubuntu's fault..blame Gnome.  You can still do username:password@proxyhost
[17:09] <LjL> iceroot: there is "debdiff" in "devscripts"
[17:09] <dsf4r4> ssta: oh. thnx !
[17:09] <iceroot> LjL: isnt debdiff only for source-packages?
[17:10] <ssta> dsf4r4: see: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646354
[17:10]  * Gnea crosses his fingers and hopes that this upgrade to 10.10 will stop the computer from hardlocking when NetworkManager or wicd are run
[17:10] <ssta> umm, thanks ubottu (what is the point of that? :)
[17:10] <LjL> iceroot: nope, works for binaries here
[17:11] <iceroot> LjL: ah great, thanks
[17:11] <dsf4r4> ssta: thanks #for the link
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: facing what?
[17:11] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: the bug i posted
[17:12] <greenit> how do i change the standard torrent-program? there is no option at systempreferences > system info > default-applications
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: not had that, only thing I get is gmail-notify makling the panel a mess. I have a script to kill th notifier and panl, thenrestart it then restart the notifier app
[17:13] <LjL> !default | greenit
[17:13] <Viliny> is the hosts file realtime? i mean do i need to restart something after altering it?
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> Viliny: its realtime (no reboot)
[17:13] <ssta> Viliny: it's realtime
[17:13] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: ah the "spaces" bug :)
[17:13] <Viliny> awesome, thank you.
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: yeah and half icons, stuff like that
[17:13] <metasansana> Viliny: it is read on before each dns look up
[17:13] <iceroot> Viliny: depending on the program
[17:13] <iceroot> Viliny: e.g. apache needs a reload
[17:13] <greenit> LjL, ok, i did this, but firefox always asks to open the *.torrent-file with transmission instead of qbittorrent
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: I'm half thinking of jumping to tint2
[17:14] <Viliny> why would apache need the hosts file?
[17:14] <Viliny> eh nvm.
[17:14] <iceroot> Viliny: to get the FQDN
[17:14] <LjL> greenit: uhm, i've had that sort of issue with firefox i think, i suspect it tends to ignore the defaults. not sure how to change that.
[17:14] <metasansana> prob to get data from another server?
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> greenit: is the association set in firefox too?
[17:14] <greenit> ActionParsnip, nope, how do i do this?
[17:14] <pangolin> greenit: you have to change it in firefox
[17:14] <iceroot> Viliny: and that is done at start
[17:14] <greenit> pangolin, ok, how?
[17:14]  * Gnea frowns as he recovers from the hardlock problem just now that I was trying to avoid
[17:14] <pangolin> greenit: let me take a look.
[17:15] <pangolin> greenit: firefox prefs > applications and you will se a list in there you can edit
[17:15] <greenit> pangolin, ok, thx
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> greenit: i believe its in tools -> prefs I haven't used firefox in ages.
[17:17] <Gnea> has anyone ever encountered a problem where running NetworkManager or wicd causes the computer to completely freeze up?  I have this happen on a consistent basis - the capslock and scroll-lock LEDs wind up blinking until I hit the reset button
[17:17] <greenit> pangolin, erm.... when i click "other application..." the filebrowser is opening... where do i have to go to find the right prog?
[17:17] <greenit> pangolin, in the filebrowser
[17:18] <damselfly9> Gnea: sounds hardware related
[17:18] <Gnea> damselfly9: what sucks is that I get absolutely no response in syslog about it, and sysrq is completely unresponsive
[17:18] <pangolin> greenit: /usr/bin/transmission i believe
[17:19] <greenit> pangolin, ok, thx again^^
[17:19] <Gnea> damselfly9: it could be, but I solved some other hardware problems on this system over a year ago... perhaps it needs another bios update
[17:19] <damselfly9> Gnea, if it is hardware related and the system locks up, syslogd will never get the chance to write any error messages
[17:19] <Gnea> damselfly9: yup
[17:20] <jNovice> Hello. I have error on my notebook  (lenovo ideapad) after installing 11.10: error: invalid arch independent elf magic.
[17:20] <jNovice> I would like to follow this http://askubuntu.com/questions/72003/grub-invalid-arch-independent-elf-magic-after-11-10-install-on-macbook-pro-5
[17:20] <Viliny> Gnea: so altering my hosts file will also affect the clients in the local network? they don't bypass the servers hosts file?
[17:20] <jNovice> but I also have windows so I don't know which partitions use in this commands
[17:20] <__ale__> #ubuntu-it
[17:20] <damselfly9> Gnea, sounds like a net card that doesn't play nicely with the rest of the hardware
[17:20] <greenit> pangolin, yay, works with the /usr/bin/ file :)
[17:20] <jNovice> could anybody give advice?
[17:20] <jNovice> I could give my fdsisk list
[17:21] <Gnea> Viliny: good point - yeah, I'd setup a squid server and have it act as a web-proxy
[17:21] <andai> Gonna put ubuntu on my old computer ( 1GB ram ). Dual core ( AMD Athlon 3800+, 2.4GHz ) any reason to get 64 bit over 32 bit?
[17:22] <greenit> jNovice, do you have 2 linux-partitions (except swap), one for /boot and one for /     ?
[17:22] <Viliny> Gnea: is that difficult?
[17:23] <Gnea> damselfly9: it's possible.  it's got a wireless-usb type thing on there that shows up, but I have never gotten the wifi to work (it shows up as eth1)
[17:23] <jNovice> greenit for ubuntu I have /, /home and swap
[17:23] <jNovice> greenit boot device during installation was set to /dev/sda
[17:23] <Gnea> damselfly9: oh, and the mac address is set to 00:00:00:00:00:01
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> andai: not really, you only gots 1Gb RAM, you won't see much benefit.
[17:24] <damselfly9> Gnea, well that's definitely a wrong mac address
[17:24] <pangolin> greenit: glad i could help.
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> andai: its more than most of my systems. RAM is cheap dude. I'd max out the board out
[17:24] <greenit> jNovice, ok, then just type in the first two and the last command, not the third
[17:24] <Viliny> Gnea: how do i enforce local clients to go through the squid proxy?
[17:24] <Gnea> damselfly9: I think you uncovered it.... wicd, at least, has been told that eth1 is the wireless interface, and even if it's in the 'down' position, it needs to check on it to get its settings
[17:24] <Viliny> Gnea: redirect port 80 somehow or?
[17:24] <andai> ActionParsnip: So install 64 bit and then get more ram? I haven't used ubuntu in a while, are all the things that used to be downsides to 64 bit sorted out?
[17:25] <greenit> jNovice, with changing sda3 to your / drive
[17:25] <Gnea> Viliny: yeah, using iptables, you can do a forced web proxy
[17:25] <jNovice> greenit I have ubuntu / on /dev/sda5 and /home on /dev/sda6. Windows bootloader is on sda1 and windows 7 on sda2
[17:25] <giorgio85> hello
[17:25] <giorgio85> I have a problem with graphics LXDE ubuntu 11.10, when I open the browers epiphanym LibreOffice open simultaneously: by any chance know how to remove this problem?
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> andai: never had a 64bit Ubuntu 'issue', I'd always max the RAM on a board now, its cheap as chips
[17:25] <greenit> jNovice, ok, then the second command is sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
[17:25] <Gnea> Viliny: problem is, I don't have a browser to use at the moment (I'm stuck in the terminal/console until I can get my own problem fixed)
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> giorgio85: what do you get onscreen?
[17:26] <Gnea> !ics | Viliny
[17:26] <Gnea> !squid | Viliny
[17:26] <Gnea> Viliny: one of those links might help
[17:26] <andai> ActionParsnip: Thank you :)
[17:26] <Viliny> Gnea: thank you
[17:26] <giorgio85> ActionParsnip,   the home page of LibreOffice
[17:27] <jNovice> greenit and third with sda6 ?
[17:27] <alden> i have a problem with my monitor, it's giving me an "Out of Range" error and won't boot up. i understand this is because my resolution is too small, but it won't boot so i can adjust it. what do?
[17:28] <dlentz> alden, do you know how to boot into grub/recovery mode
[17:28] <andai> Cool, I can get 16 GB of ram.  I also plan on getting SSD's ( 2, RAID 0 ). Could I load my entire boot partition into RAM and just run it there?
[17:28] <Gnea> and now, I reboot
[17:28]  * Gnea crosses fingers
[17:28] <dlentz> andai, VM's
[17:28] <alden> nope, never had to before
[17:28] <andai> dlentz: Aha! In that case, I have an excuse to upgrade my CPU as well :D
[17:29] <dlentz> alden, hold shift after bios/post screen to get to the grub menu
[17:29] <dlentz> (i think it's shift)
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> giorgio85: if you close all libreoffice apps, rename ~/.libreoffice then rerun the app, is it ok?
[17:30] <Barbariandude> ActionParsnip, only one way to find out!
[17:30] <alden> dlentz: didn't work, BIOS screen? the first screen shows up with the eMachines logo, then it goes to Out of Range
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> andai: the OS will use it as disk cache and make the OS faster as you will use that instead of raw accessing the drives (slow)
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> Barbariandude: FIGHT!!
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> alden: what GPU do you use?
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> Barbariandude: are you from the UK?
[17:31] <Barbariandude> ActionParsnip, yup
[17:31] <alden> ActionParsnip: dont know what GPU is, i'm running natty narwhal
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> Barbariandude: just making sure you got the reference ;)
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> alden: the video chip? nvidia? Intel? ATi?
[17:31] <Barbariandude> alden, graphical processing unit
[17:31] <aasasd> what's the name for Ctrl+ C signal
[17:31] <aasasd> is it SIGINT
[17:31] <jNovice> greenit somethin wrong, I get something like this: mnt doesn't look like efi partition
[17:31] <varun06> good video editor for Ubuntu
[17:31] <dlentz> alden, try again, hold shift earlier
[17:32] <aasasd> SIGABRT/
[17:32] <auronandace> varun06: openshot
[17:32] <varun06> let me check
[17:32] <Barbariandude> varun06, alternativeto.net is a good site for those sorts of questions
[17:32] <alden> dlentz: seemed like it almost worked, but then it took me to Out of Range again
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> alden: or does the system have a make / model?
[17:32] <acicula> andai: there is really no advantage to first loading your boot partition into memory and then booting from there, you will still have to wait for stuff to be copied to the ramdisk
[17:33] <alden> ActionParsnip: the chip is nvidia
[17:34] <Viliny> can't seem to open gedit with root priviledges over my nomachine nx session. frustrating.
[17:34] <Gnea> interesting... the wireless card still has an errornous mac address, but the hardlock problem no longer occurs... however, I no longer have X as it complains that /etc/gdm/custom.conf is not there
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> alden: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> Viliny: gksudo gedit     not working?
[17:34] <Viliny> nope
[17:34] <Viliny> ActionParsnip: all i get is a little flash in the taskbar
[17:34] <giorgio85> ActionParsnip,    If rinonimo. LibreOffice error tells me the file exists in the destination
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> Viliny: use:  sudo nano /path/to/file   then ;)
[17:35] <alden> ActionParsnip: i'm new so you're going to have to hold my hand, how do i add that boot option
[17:35] <Viliny> ActionParsnip: i was hoping to use gedit because i need to config squid.conf and it is quite large :p
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> giorgio85: what is making that message?
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> Viliny: nano will do it with ease
[17:35] <Viliny> how do i search in nano
[17:36] <Gnea> Viliny: just read the bottom, it tells you all of the functions.... like ^C means control-C
[17:36] <Viliny> what does the ^ mean?
[17:36] <Gnea> control
[17:36] <Viliny> ah ffs, sorry
[17:36] <Gnea> you know, the control key
[17:36] <Gnea> :)
[17:36] <Viliny> you JUST explained it. sorry im pretty stupid today
[17:36] <Gnea> no worries
[17:37] <Gnea> I'm on half a cup of coffee and no food yet
[17:37] <Gnea> just reboot and STILL no gui
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> Viliny: CTRL+W
[17:37] <Viliny> 2 slices of bread with eggs on top 12 hours ago and 2 cups of coffee and 2 batterys later :p
[17:37] <Gnea> Viliny: 12 hours is a LONG time :)
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> Viliny: for (w)here,   CTRL+C chows the cursor position
[17:38] <Viliny> yes i know, need to do like... 6 reports for tuesday and i thought the office would be a good place to get things done.
[17:38] <ale_> hi i want to install ubuntu 10.04 lts. my comp is 64 bit,,,what's better 32 or 64 bit? tnx
[17:38] <giorgio85> ActionParsnip,   I opened my home / . libreoffice and click on riname
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> Viliny: using nano also allows you to ditch stupid freenx and just use SSH, which is a TONNE sleeker and faster
[17:38] <Gnea> ale_: 64-bit should work just fine
[17:38] <ale_> tnx
[17:39] <Gnea> !amd64 | ale_
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> giorgio85: you need all the libreoffice apps closed and run:  mv ~/.libreoffice ~/.libreoffice_old
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> giorgio85: then rerun the app, you will get vanilla settings
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> Viliny: 9 times in 10 you don't need freenx / vnxc / junk like that
[17:39] <alden> i'm still waiting for instruction on how to boot into recovery mode
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> ale_: there is no universal better, choose what suits your hardware and needs
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> alden: hold shift at boot, if you then press E on the kernel, you can add the option I gacve
[17:40] <alden> holding shift at boot does nothing
[17:41] <Viliny> ActionParsnip: i know how most people feel and usually i do things via putty anyway, i just have some things i like to do via gui so i had this for backup.
[17:41] <Gnea> !nvidia
[17:42]  * Gnea sighs and facepalms
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | alden use this but use the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1   instead
[17:42] <LukeNukem> so what are the cool things is should do in Ubuntu
[17:43] <LukeNukem> to make it awesome ;)
[17:43] <razorfish> install gentoo
[17:43] <pangolin> !behelpful | razorfish
[17:43] <LukeNukem> razorfish, gentoo is another os ;\
[17:43] <respond> all, am need upgrade my ubuntu deskto to ubuntu server online that be ?
[17:43] <damselfly9> Gnea, if your solution for your eth1 broke X, maybe you could just set it's driver to never load?
[17:43] <razorfish> yes but ubuntu can be the working system used to install it
[17:43] <respond> i mean can i do that online
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: depends what you use your OS for...
[17:44] <CharminTheMoose> I wonder, can you do a chroot install of gentoo?
[17:44] <Gnea> damselfly9: the nvidia driver never got built, this is a whole new problem
[17:44] <LukeNukem> Music, browsing, movies and programming =)
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: same OS, different distro. Both are linux ;)
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: install build-essential and you will get an ANSI standard C compiler...
[17:44] <Gnea> damselfly9: I go to install the nvidia-185 driver packages and it... never builds...
[17:44] <LukeNukem> im new to Linux, most advise me to start in Ubuntu and then move onto ArchLinux
[17:44] <giorgio85> ActionParsnip,   I gave into the terminal       mv ~/.libreoffice ~/.libreoffice_old :  but no solution
[17:44] <LukeNukem> ActionParsnip, i do php programming..i use the netbeans ide
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> giorgio85: did anything output?
[17:45] <pangolin> Gnea: why not install nvidia-current?
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: well give more detail than 'programming' and we can advise better
[17:45] <damselfly9> Gnea, are you using the opensource nvidia driver or the proprietary one?
[17:45] <Gnea> damselfly9: from the repository, I don't use from the website
[17:46] <Gnea> damselfly9: but the propietary one
[17:46] <giorgio85> ActionParsnip,   I closed my epiphany and LibreOffice
[17:46] <artichoku> i know this is an ubuntu channel, but
[17:46] <LukeNukem> ActionParsnip, like i said, i program in php.
[17:46] <Gnea> damselfly9: taking a break for breakfast, be back in a bit :)
[17:46] <damselfly9> that might be why it can't build
[17:46] <artichoku> has anyone used suse and how is it, if so
[17:46] <LukeNukem> so i have installed apache
[17:46] <LjL> !ot | artichoku
[17:46] <LukeNukem> phpmyadmin and the netbeans ide
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> artichoku: I'd ask in #suse
[17:46] <artichoku> i came accross a site where i could make my own
[17:46] <artichoku> ooo
[17:46] <artichoku> good idea
[17:46] <artichoku> rofl
[17:46] <FloodBot1> artichoku: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> !lamp | LukeNukem
[17:47] <|Anthony|> using a dual head setup with nvidia 290.10 on ubuntu 10.04 64bit
[17:47] <|Anthony|> if i leave the pointer on the secondary screen when the screensaver comes on, when i return the pointer goes all wonky... it will quickly cycle through the pointer images
[17:47] <LukeNukem> ActionParsnip, yeah ive installed it..
[17:47] <respond> ActionParsnip, are i can install ispconfig on ubuntu 10.04 or are can i update my ubuntu desktop to ubuntu server with online
[17:47] <giorgio85> ActionParsnip,   this problem is only with the epiphany, opera and firefox with no
[17:48] <LukeNukem> i would like to know how to setup a mail server on linux :)
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> giorgio85: are there any bugs reported?
[17:48] <giorgio85> no
[17:48] <giorgio85> ActionParsnip, no
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> respond: the server is just the same OS without an X server and a slightly different kernel. You can add the boot option:  text    and the OS will boot to text mode only
[17:49] <alden> LukeNukem: Empathy is the progam you're looking for
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> giorgio85: I suggest you report one
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> giorgio85: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc    please
[17:50] <respond> ActionParsnip,  so can i or posible or install ispconfig on my ubuntu am need make web hosting on my home pc
[17:50] <ssta> LukeNukem: the easy way: sudo apt-get install tasksel; sudo tasksel  # pick the mail-server task.
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> respond: not heard of it, sorry
[17:50] <giorgio85> ActionParsnip,   it is possible to remove ubuntu 11.10 LibreOffice and then put it back?
[17:50] <respond> any body know how to make web hosting on my home with ubuntu 10.04 ????? ugren
[17:50] <alaing> does anyone know of a general network irc channel
[17:51] <chuck1310> giorgio85: by the update manager
[17:51] <LjL> alaing: you mean a channel about networking? ##networking
[17:51] <iceroot> !alis | alaing
[17:51] <damselfly9> respond, does your isp allow it?
[17:51] <Barbariandude> respond | !lamp
[17:51] <Bsims> respond, install apache?
[17:51] <Barbariandude> ubottu doesn't have lamp? awww
[17:51] <giorgio85> ActionParsnip,   oneiric
[17:51] <alaing> thank you iceroot and LjL
[17:51] <iceroot> !lamp | Barbariandude
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> giorgio85: cool, does it happen if you make a new user and log in as that?
[17:52] <Barbariandude> oh, had it the wrong way round :P thanks iceroot
[17:52] <LukeNukem> so if i install mail server, what would the email adress look like? admin@my_ip_here
[17:52] <LukeNukem> ?
[17:52] <Bsims> yup
[17:52] <LukeNukem> nice, what if i setup a DNS
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: you can register an email domain for cheap too, it'l redirect to your mail server :)
[17:53] <Bsims> edit the config accordingly
[17:53] <respond> Bsims, am have install apache
[17:53] <giorgio85>  ActionParsnip      what to do ??
[17:53] <Barbariandude> respond, google for apache guides and get reading
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> giorgio85: run:  sudo adduser testy      log off and log in as testy with the password you set, is it the same?
[17:54] <respond> Barbariandude, am have ready install apache : that still http://localhost/ am need blablabal.com
[17:54] <respond> how do i make that at home with ubuntu 10.04 deskto ? are that posible
[17:55] <Barbariandude> respond, exactly, you need to create a configuration page in etc/apache2/sites-available with all the settings. Do some reading to find out how.
[17:55] <respond> Barbariandude, my network at home ready can open my web server with my ip
[17:56] <respond> but how can all people on www can open it to
[17:56] <respond> Barbariandude, are i need register on dyndns.org
[17:56] <iceroot> respond: set a dns-entry to your ip
[17:56] <respond> Barbariandude, did you have some link like dyndns.org for free
[17:56] <dhanu> hi all
[17:56] <Barbariandude> respond, you need to find out your external ip address, and tell people to connect to that, you need dyndns if you have a dynamic, not static IP.
[17:56] <iceroot> respond: normally done at a dns-prodiver
[17:57] <respond> iceroot, what dns-prodiver
[17:57] <giorgio85> ActionParsnip,   still equal
[17:57] <iceroot> respond: the one you like most
[17:57] <ssta> whoever you buy the domain name from
[17:57] <theadmin> respond: You need to buy a domain name from someone.
[17:57] <iceroot> respond: if you want a real domain you have to contact a dns-provider
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> giorgio85: then its a bug with the app, not your settings
[17:58] <respond> theadmin, and iceroot are we need setting some router at my home ?
[17:58] <giorgio85> ok thanks
[17:58] <giorgio85> ActionParsnip,   ok thanks
[17:58] <Barbariandude> respond, most routers, yes you do. You need to allow incoming connections to go to your computer. Exactly how to do that depends on the router.
[17:59] <subb1>  hi all. a very trivial question maybe
[17:59] <theadmin> respond: Yes, configure port-forwarding or DMZ.
[17:59] <theadmin> subb1: Just ask it
[17:59] <subb1>  i already have tomboy and stickynotes. But when started they lie along the taskbar with other open windows. Is there any other desktopnote prog that only lies in notification area or not even there ( runs in background) ?
[17:59] <sharkmap> hi all. thanks for being here. I am a very new beginner. By lurking her I lerned how to change the desktop environment. it really makes my old laptop faster.
[17:59] <sharkmap> here
[17:59] <Barbariandude> sharkmap, you got lubuntu?
[18:00] <sharkmap> yeah. 10.04
[18:00] <respond> Barbariandude, theadmin my internet provaider give my dinamic ip not statick tat can be used dmz
[18:00] <sharkmap> no, just regular ubuntu
[18:00] <pangolin> subb1: install alltray
[18:00] <dak0> lol.
[18:00] <theadmin> respond: That can be used with your router, sure, but you'll need a Dynamic DNS provider which is not an easy find.
[18:00] <sharkmap> but i put lxde on it, is that lubuntu?
[18:00] <dak0> its xubuntu
[18:00] <respond> DNS provider what you recomend for me theadmin
[18:00] <dak0> i thing,
[18:00] <pangolin> lxde is Lubuntu
[18:00] <Barbariandude> sharkmap, if you have an old laptop and you want a light DE, give lubuntu a try live off a usb and see if it's faster, it probably will be
[18:01] <theadmin> respond: None really... Well, I myself use http://dnsexit.com but that's all up to you anyway
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> pangolin: its used in lubuntu, lxde is lxde and nothing more
[18:01] <pangolin> ActionParsnip: right, for simplicity I stayed vague
[18:01] <ssta> you can install lxde without installing lubuntu...
[18:01] <ssta> no need to reinstall just to get lcde
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> subb1: like a daemon notes app? how would you post new notes without a UI?
[18:01] <sharkmap> what is lubuntu?
[18:01] <ssta> s/lcde/lxde/
[18:01] <pangolin> ActionParsnip: but i get your point. i'll be more clear in the future :)
[18:01] <Barbariandude> !lubuntu | sharkmap
[18:01] <dhanu> i installed ubuntu server i wanted to give only shutdown rights to normal user so help me on this
[18:02] <sharkmap> very new here <__
[18:02] <subb1> pangolin, with this i can move the present notes to notif. area? is that the trick?
[18:02] <ssta> sharkmap: it's like Ubuntu, but has lxde as the default environment
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> sharkmap: its the ubuntu OS but uses LXDE and openbox instead of gnome and compiz. It uses a fraction of the resources of gnome based ubuntu.
[18:02] <subb1> ActionParsnip, hi... i want a gui on desktop :)
[18:02] <dak0> Why do you guys reply to sharkmap like mad ?
[18:02] <theadmin> dhanu: Add this to sudoers: username ALL=/sbin/shutdown, /sbin/poweroff, /sbin/reboot, /sbin/halt
[18:02] <dak0> :D
[18:02] <Barbariandude> ssta, is that the only difference? I thought the default programs were also switched around to utilize LXDE better
[18:02] <pri0n> greets all
[18:02] <pangolin> subb1: correct, you run alltray and then can select what apps you want sent to notification area
[18:02] <sharkmap> so if I installed regular ubuntu then installed th lxde de, is it lubuntu? I am confused
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> sharkmap: it also uses lighter apps, so instead of libreoffice, it uses abiword and gnumeric. The other apps are obviously available but the defaults are light and fast
[18:03] <theadmin> sharkmap: No, not the same, but close enough :D
[18:03] <pri0n> what are the chances someone here has any experience with wimax under ubuntu 11.10?
[18:03] <subb1> pangolin, wow. thanks. let me try .. :)
[18:03] <respond> theadmin, am used fonera router this manual http://wiki.fon.com/wiki/F2_webserver what i must do ?
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> subb1: then install an ubuntu with a desktop and not the server release..
[18:03] <sharkmap> cool. new stuff to learn ecvery day
[18:03] <Barbariandude> sharkmap, it also has slightly different default programs, to use less resources. Using ubuntu with LXDE should be enough though
[18:03] <MonkeyDust> sharkmap  rather download lubuntu
[18:03] <theadmin> respond: I'm not familiar with your router, sorry.
[18:03] <sharkmap> darn keyboard
[18:03] <theadmin> respond: Figure it out yourself or contact the manufacturer's support, that's got nothing to do with Ubuntu
[18:03] <respond> theadmin, what you reouter
[18:04] <theadmin> respond: I use D-Link DIR-320 with DD-WRT on it.
[18:04] <sirninja> I'm trying to get a network bridge setup for KVM and I'm having difficulties getting it working. Could somebody help me with that?
[18:04] <sharkmap> i have a very a very old laptop so any speed improvement will help
[18:04] <respond> theadmin, what alse we need configuration for own ubuntu
[18:04] <dak0> sharkmap
[18:04] <damselfly9> respond, before you put in too much effort, see if your isp will allow you to run servers. some isps prevent it from working at all
[18:04] <dak0> you should try with damnsmalllinux
[18:04] <dak0> DSL
[18:05] <subb1> ActionParsnip, oh no. think you got me wrong. I have ubuntu with gnome :) all i wanted was the sticky note to NOT lie in the task bar with other open windows. Its UI should def be on the desktop :)
[18:05] <theadmin> dak0: ew, don't suggest something that doesn't even work.  I love these names
[18:05] <respond> damselfly9, i thinks my isp allow for run server at my pc home
[18:05] <respond> MonkeyDust, thanks i will try
[18:05] <dak0> Who said DSL dosent work ?
[18:05] <Barbariandude> sharkmap, look up suicide linux. Most evil distro ever.
[18:05] <dak0> works on 16mb of ram
[18:05] <pri0n> i figured it was a longshot, but I would love to get my Sprint 4G working under ubuntu
[18:05] <pri0n> 3G works, though its incredibly slow
[18:06] <respond> MonkeyDust, you miss give me link that for make distro
[18:06] <respond> MonkeyDust, am need make home server at my home with ubuntu 10.04
[18:06] <sharkmap> too many choicees. I think I'll stay with lxde and see how it goes
[18:06] <pri0n> but wimax in linux still seems to be a bit unique
[18:06] <sharkmap> i had the laptop running overnight, and it didn't overheat or show any errors, so I think Im ok there.
[18:08] <Barbariandude> sharkmap, thing to remember about linux + all the distros is it's 90% about personal choice/preference. Figure out what you like, what you don't like :)
[18:08] <Gnea> damselfly9: so I discovered a zero-length nvidia-current.ko file
[18:08] <pri0n> anyone have any experience at all with wimax in Ubuntu?
[18:08] <theadmin> pri0n: That's not a real question, ask the real one and you might get an answer
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | pri0n
[18:08] <sirninja> Could someone help me get a bridged network set up?
[18:08] <damselfly9> Gnea, that would tend to imply to stopped building due to an error
[18:08] <pri0n> got it
[18:09] <sharkmap> seems like I jumped in the deep end. need to go back to the wading pool for a bit to get my bearings
[18:09] <Barbariandude> :P
[18:09] <mongy> pri0n, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1817211  might be some help.  first page I googled
[18:09] <Gnea> damselfly9: yes.  so, got it rebuilt.... but now there's still no nvidia.ko anywhere
[18:09] <pri0n> i'm actually having difificulty putting this in the form of a reasonable question...
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: try the xorg edgers less fresh ppa, gives the 290 driver
[18:10] <WhyWhyWhy> hey guys i love ubuntu
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> WhyWhyWhy: glad you are enjoying it
[18:10] <WhyWhyWhy> sometimes i wish ubuntu was my girlfriend
[18:10] <damselfly9> Gnea, don't know. I use an old matrox
[18:11] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: well I'm currently on a freshly updated 10.10 from 10.04 install (amd64), so maybe just proceeding to 11.04 would be a better plan
[18:11] <Barbariandude> WhyWhyWhy, just get her instead: https://www.youtube.com/user/nixiedoeslinux
[18:11] <sharkmap> can ubuntu be installed on a thumb drive so that then entire install is portable? or will it only work as a live install?
[18:11] <oCean> Barbariandude: please don't post offtopic content here, thanks
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: maverick is EOL in april so I wouldn't waste any time on it personally
[18:12] <WhyWhyWhy> ohhh yeaaa
[18:12] <Barbariandude> sharkmap, it certainly can. Get unetbootin.sourceforge.net and install the live version on a usb
[18:12] <Barbariandude> oCean, sorry :)
[18:12] <Gnea> damselfly9, ActionParsnip: I ran this and it seemed to get the zero-length driver taken care of: for i in `dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep nvidia | awk '{print $2}'`; do j=`echo $i`; dpkg-reconfigure "$j"; done
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: sweet, I see what you did there :)
[18:12] <sharkmap> barbariandude: thanks. whats the smallest size drive I can use?
[18:12] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: :)
[18:12] <oCean> !usb | sharkmap
[18:13] <sirninja> Could someone help me get a network bridge setup for KVM? I'm having issues getting it working correctly
[18:13] <Barbariandude> sharkmap, 1gb I think
[18:13] <Gnea> so yeah, I'm just gonna upgrade to 11.04 from this point
[18:13] <Gnea> ActionParsnip, damselfly9: thanks for the help :)
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: any time
[18:13] <damselfly9> you're welcome
[18:13] <sharkmap> thanks ubottu (even though you are only a bot!)
[18:14] <sharkmap> barbariandude: thanks!
[18:14] <artichoku> having a small issue. i switched to gnome classic, and when i switched back to unity, the screen opens up as "activities"
[18:14] <artichoku> how do i make that go away?
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> artichoku: if you press ALT+F2 and run:  unity --replace     is it ok?
[18:15] <pri0n> I am working on enabling wimax under 11.10 and have managed to track down the wimax-tools and wimax-ns from the defunct linuxwimax.com
[18:16] <artichoku> er... ok well the activity thing closed
[18:16] <artichoku> but now i have no bars all
[18:16] <pri0n> from what I read this really only supported the intel wimax chipset, but it's the best lead i've managed to track down
[18:16] <artichoku> just this because it was already open
[18:17] <artichoku> ok i got compiz open and reinabled the bar
[18:17] <artichoku> i'm good now i think
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> pri0n: is it usb or internal?
[18:17] <pri0n> wimax-ns gives me an error on configure about libeap package, but i can't seem to find what package libeap.so comes from
[18:17] <pri0n> usb
[18:17] <pri0n> i see it with lsusb and it work under 3g
[18:17] <LukeNukem> hello
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> pri0n: run:  lsusb    and use the 8 character hex ID to find guides
[18:17] <MonkeyDust> !enter| pri0n
[18:17] <bastidrazor> !find libeap.so
[18:17] <LukeNukem> is there a good application to download music in ubuntu so i can DL all the good songs before sopa pass ;p
[18:18] <pri0n> hex ID, got it
[18:18] <Gentoo64> LukeNukem: what torrents?
[18:18] <Barbariandude> LukeNukem, you mean torrent, direct or from youtubeL
[18:18] <Barbariandude> ?
[18:18] <danny_> ok so when im at the destop and i start typing for no reason a little white text box apears in the bottum right hand corner what is this for
[18:18] <Gentoo64> LukeNukem: if its pirate stuff then thats noot allowed in here
[18:18] <Gentoo64> i doubt :)
[18:19] <Barbariandude> LukeNukem, you could always be legit and download tons of CC music from jamendo.com
[18:19] <LukeNukem> cmon i just want to download music using an application on ubuntu
[18:19] <LukeNukem> i thought you guys supported 'free'
[18:19] <MonkeyDust> or go to the shop and buy music, or am i being old now?
[18:19] <Gnea> LukeNukem: 'free' is a relative term.
[18:20] <Gentoo64> LukeNukem: depends from where, you could use a browser, or a torrent client for torrents
[18:20] <LukeNukem> MonkeyDust, i do not have that kind of money..
[18:20] <LukeNukem> Gentoo64, something like limewire or the old napster
[18:20] <danny_> LikeNukem, free jsut means the code is free not free as doesnt cost anything
[18:20] <Gentoo64> LukeNukem: linux has frostwire
[18:20] <LukeNukem> nice
[18:20] <Barbariandude> LukeNukem, your options are transmission for torrents, youtube-dl for commandline downloading of videos from youtube, or jamendo.com for music in the creative commons.
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: http://www.legittorrents.info/
[18:21] <danny_> LikeNukem, like you can take most of the aplications and tweak them to ur liking or improve them urself or jsut create ur own desktop enviroment
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: we do, free and legal
[18:21] <LukeNukem> there is 'free legal music :P' anyways ima try jamendo
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: I go to gigs and get given TDK disks a lot
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: yes, check the link I gave
[18:22] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: might have a problem... I went to interrupt the do-release-upgrade thing because I wanted to check something really quick (it was at the point where it asked if I wanted to continue or not, so I said no) and it left my sources.list in the new state and didn't go back to the maverick state... I re-ran it and now it's stuck "calculating the changes"
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: may need to run:  sudo apt-get -f install     instead
[18:23] <ssta> Barbariandude: I think if you install the lubuntu-desktop package you get all that...
[18:23] <ssta> Barbariandude: I might be incorrect though
[18:23] <Barbariandude> ssta, fair enough. And now I know :)
[18:23] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: but the sources.list is saying it's set for 'natty' and natty isn't installed yet.
[18:24] <dak0> Gnea you want to swtich from Ubuntu to lubuntu ?
[18:24] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: and I can't find the maverick sources.list file in /etc//apt/ anywhere
[18:24] <Gnea> dak0: pardon?
[18:24] <dak0> Gnea, the question is clear enough ?
[18:24] <Gnea> dak0: yes, but it was quite irrelevent.
[18:24] <Gnea> dak0: in short, no.
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: could try a normal upgrade then should do it
[18:26] <rcmaehl> I have a keyboard and some of the keys show up as /dev/input/event3 while the keyboard is /dev/input/event2. How do I make the system recognize the keys on /dev/input/event3?
[18:26] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: nevermind, it was just taking its sweet time doing the calculations... I usually get a bit more pep out of this dualcore p4 3ghz
[18:26] <ssta> Gnea: I think do-release-upgrade keeps a copy of the old sources.list somewhere (probably named something like sources.list.backup or something)
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: yeah, p4 is sweet too
[18:26] <rcmaehl> These keys are hotkeys and about half of them aren't recognized because they show up as a different event
[18:26] <Gnea> ssta: that's what I thought, too.... the only backups were for lucid.
[18:27] <ssta> Gnea: you should be safe enough to just edit sources.list back to maverick and go from there...
[18:27] <Gnea> well, the upgrade process is now underway
[18:27] <Gnea> ssta: I doubt it, it seems to have sorted itself out :)
[18:28] <Gnea> ssta: it just took longer than I expected it to
[18:28] <Gnea> since I'm in console and not X, there's not much in the way of letting me know when something's happening
[18:28] <ssta> Gnea: excellent.  Good luck :)
[18:28] <Gnea> ssta: thank you :)
[18:29] <nancy--> is there a readymade free solution to be a webhost. i have a server but i dont have software installed to manage accounts and give them cpanel type of thing or manage their bandwith , give them stats. etc.
[18:29] <nancy--> ?
[18:30] <ssta> nancy--: there's a project called "freepanel".  I don't know if it's still active or not though
[18:30] <Barbariandude> nancy--, see if there's a module for drupal that does what you want. drupal.org and #drupal
[18:31] <nancy--> Barbariandude,  i thought drupal was for bloging only
[18:32] <nancy--> ssta,  ok
[18:32] <respond> https://erespond.mooo.com ? did you can see my home page ?
[18:32] <Barbariandude> nancy--, no, it's very versatile. There are community-made modules to alter the functionality in drastic ways, to turn it into pretty much anything
[18:32] <sirninja> Could someone help me figure out how to get bridged networking working on ubuntu?
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> !ics | sirninja
[18:32] <respond> https://erespond.mooo.com ? did you can see my home page ? am have put ubuntu tutorial from me on that di you can see that ?
[18:33] <stephenh> ics and bridging aren't the same if it's the bridging i'm thinking of..
[18:33] <ssta> nancy--: also, plesk is fairly common these days...and it's not all that expensive
[18:33] <sirninja> ActionParsnip: I'm wanting to use it with KVM, so would that still be the same set of instructions?
[18:33] <Barbariandude> respond, nope
[18:33] <zykotick9> sirninja: are you trying to bridge wireless with you kvm or an ethernet?
[18:34] <camara1> hi
[18:34] <respond> Barbariandude, what a error
[18:34] <sirninja> zykotick9: ethernet. And it seems to work on the guest end, but I get about 90% packet loss on the host for some reason
[18:34] <pri0n> ActionParsnip, thank you for the tip on looking up via hex ID as it was exactly what i needed to find a great lead
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> sirninja: it uses a bridged connection afair
[18:35] <jeremiah_> how come when i try to install java runtime, it never works?
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> pri0n: yeah don't get hung up on makes and models in Linux, it means very little. The ID your OS sees is what you need
[18:35] <sbsin> Hi, in the instructions for a programming exercise they are using the command "2" to combine two applications, what's the package for this application called? Example: 2 "tsim Lab1.map" "java Lab1 10 5"
[18:35] <Barbariandude> respond, unable to connect. If you just got that domain name now, it's gonna take up to 24 hours to propagate
[18:35] <zykotick9> sirninja: i don't have N-M installed, so i just replaced the eth with br in /etc/interfaces (there are additional setting to obviously)
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: how are you installing it?
[18:35] <ssta> ActionParsnip: no it doesn't.  Bridging is quite different to NAT
 i type the command into the terminal
[18:36] <theadmin> sbsin: What does "combine two applications" mean? That doesn't make much sense.
[18:36] <respond> Barbariandude, am have ready register on free dns
[18:36] <pjotter> Hello everyone! I am having some trouble with NFS (versions 4) on Ubuntu (10.04). I have mounted an external drive (NAS) with nfs. It workes fine with small files. But when I try to copy large files (for instance 1 Gb) some things go wrong. The first thing I notice is that de progress-bar of Nautilus starts at approximately 50%. While the file is being copied, the progress bar does not progress. When the copying is finished, I get an error,
[18:36] <nancy--> ssta,  isnt there an A to Z solution. from the site, ordering to cpanel. ?
[18:36] <respond> am used domain for access my home page
[18:36] <respond> am have foarward my ip
[18:36] <respond> <IP_ADDRESS> to that domain
[18:36] <sbsin> theadmin: sorry, join input/output.
[18:36] <respond> am have foarword to my publick ip to that domain
[18:36] <ssta> nancy--: I'm not sure what you are asking, sorry.  Try rephrasing it maybe?
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> ssta: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1058695
[18:36] <respond> and what you can see...
[18:36] <Karmaon> Why is window dragging significantly laggier when having multiple applications in the background? There is plenty of ram left.
[18:37] <Barbariandude> respond, that's your internal IP address, which is different from the external IP that the internet sees.
[18:37] <sirninja> zykotick9: Any idea what could cause such packet loss on the host, yet have the guest working perfectly fine?
[18:37] <theadmin> sbsin: Oh... I'm not sure then, sorry
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> Karmaon: is it ok in Unity2D (I assume Gnome desktop with Unity shel)
[18:37] <zykotick9> sirninja: no idea at all, if you don't get assistance here, perhaps you could try #kvm channel?
[18:37] <nancy--> ssta,  there are ready made shoping cart sites . easy to install e.g opencart and ecommerce. is there a ready made solution for creating a webhost. that starts from ordering and ends to control panel ?
[18:37] <artichoku> ok so the "activities" thing is back, and i think i REALLY like it, except... how can i have more than one window up
[18:37] <Karmaon> ActionParsnip: I'd have to check
[18:37] <ssta> ActionParsnip: and?
[18:38] <respond> Barbariandude, what trouble again
[18:38] <artichoku> and my minimize/maximize buttons are gon on the titlebar
[18:38] <ssta> nancy--: oh.  I don't know of one, no
[18:38] <Barbariandude> respond, this is what the DNS services say your hosts IP address is, is this correct? <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:38] <optikkore> hey so im experiancing a weird issue, if i disconnect my cat5 connection on my acer one, it freezes and on every boot up it will eventually freeze unless that hard line is there
[18:38] <zykotick9> artichoku: welcome to gnome3 ;)
[18:38] <ssta> nancy--: well, not a free one.
 when i do it, i end up getting a abiword with a code in it. I put that in the terminal, and i get another abiword.
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> ssta: and what?
[18:38] <robert-km> Karmaon: Its not about ram, but cpu and gpu
[18:38] <ssta> nancy--: Plesk is kind of that, but it costs (although it's not too expensive)
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> ssta: 'and?' isn't a question
[18:38] <artichoku> and even though desktop cube and rotate cube are enabled, there is no rotation
[18:38] <Silpelit> I"m using winetricks to download ie6 but the site for the download is down, can't access in either terminal or a browser. Is there a way to change the link to a different upload of the same file?
[18:39] <respond> correct :)
[18:39] <respond> Barbariandude, that right
[18:39] <Silpelit> Because I even have the ie6 download file, and one made specifically for linux, but it's not working correctly
[18:39] <ssta> ActionParsnip: you posted me a link which had nothing to do with ICS...presumably in support of your assertion that ICS and bridging are the same thing.  I was asking what your point was...
[18:39] <theadmin> Silpelit: Why on earth do you need that?
[18:39] <artichoku> so what do i do?
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> Silpelit: IE runs badly in wine. There is ies4linux but if you are testing websites for IE compatibility I suggest you run a virtualbox
 have any ideas?
[18:39] <Silpelit> It's a dependancy thing, I have no plans on using ie at all
[18:40] <Barbariandude>  respond, that means that your router must be blocking connections (probably). You need to set up a DMZ or port forwarding.
[18:40] <zykotick9> Silpelit: and there was never a "ie6.. one made sepecicially for linux (sic)"
[18:40] <Silpelit> yes there is
[18:40] <Silpelit> sec
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> ssta: if you read the content, it actually shows you how to make a bridged connection in the interfaces file in /etc/networking
[18:40] <yitz_> Hi. Any clue where Ubuntu stores the mapping for ethernet device to name (eg eth0) stuff?
[18:40] <Silpelit> Not a linux version, but a package that installs it easily
[18:40] <Silpelit> I've got 3 people respond and nothing regarding my question
[18:40] <theadmin> yitz_: Not stored anywhere really. If you need to have a specific node for a specific device, write an udev rule.
[18:41] <ssta> ActionParsnip: yes, I see that.  What does that have to do with ICS?
[18:41] <nancy--> ssta,  freepanel.org is no more .          ispconfig is one . but is it like plesk ? http://www.ispconfig.org/ispconfig-3/screenshots/
[18:41] <oCean> yitz_: see //etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> yitz_: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/red-hat-31/change-eth1-to-eth0-815620/
[18:41] <Silpelit> Is there a way to change winetricks to download from a different location
[18:41] <ssta> nancy--: similar I guess, yes
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> ssta: I thought you wanted a bridged connection, is that not right?
[18:41] <zykotick9> Silpelit: running IE on gnu/linux has never worked well (regardless of versions).  IE6 is way outdated at this point.  Using a VM would probably work better for testing/etc.
[18:41] <yitz_> theadmin: Meh. I got an image that got that info cached in it so eth0 is "taken" when I drop the image on a new machine. I want to clear that cached into so the device gets eth0 and not eth0_rename
[18:41] <theadmin> Silpelit: Winetricks is a shellscript.
[18:42] <ssta> ActionParsnip: no, that was someone else...who you sent a link about ICS to.  I was protesting that ICS and bridging are not the same thing
[18:42] <zykotick9> Silpelit: you could try teh #winehq channel?
[18:42] <jeremiah_> how come when i try to install java runtime, it never works?
[18:42] <rebe> why ubuntu ask me for keyring every time I log in ?
[18:42] <Silpelit> zykotick9: Thank you very much! That's useful, I"ll do that now
[18:43] <zykotick9> rebe: you have autologin enabled, and it needs to unlock the wireless key(s).  Disabling auto-login in one way to correct.
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> ssta: sorry, crossed wires
[18:43] <oCean> yitz_: you can edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to map your nic's mac address to eth0
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> rebe: to unlock it, if you set a blank keyring it won't bother you
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: how are you installing it?
[18:44] <yitz_> oCean: I suppose. I was hoping I didn't have to manually shove MACs in on every node
[18:44] <jeremiah_> i type the command into the terminal
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: what command?
[18:44] <ssta> yitz_: if you empty the file in the master, then it will get repopulated in each node
[18:44] <martyn_t> Hi guys/gals. I am sure this is in the help files somewhere but how do I add (e.g. terminal application) to the dash launcher? Ta.
[18:44] <rebe> actionparsnipL how do I change that keyring to blank
[18:44] <yitz_> ssta: Exactly what I'm looking for! The /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file?
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> martyn_t: you can make a .desktop file and put it in /usr/share/applications
 something like sudo apt install java or something like that
[18:45] <orvar> how do I stop ubuntu from going to sleep after x minutes of inactivity?
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: that won't work
[18:45] <ssta> yitz_: yes.  I have a VM template that had that problem.  Solution was to leave it as an empty file in the template and then the instances fill it up
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: what is the output of:  uname -a
[18:45] <jeremiah_> well its not exact.
 what?
[18:45] <yitz_> ssta: Thanks. I love you!
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: paste it to terminal and hit enter, what is output?
[18:46] <ssta> yitz_: umm, you're welcome :)

[18:47] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: ok, I'll give you script to get you oracle java 1.7_02
[18:47] <rebe> I guess that setting blank keyring isn't safe ?
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> rebe: its fine

 ok
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/821651/

 got a meesage bash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/821651/: No such file or directory

[18:49] <ActionParsnip> mongy: not sure of the licensing though ;)
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: run the commands one by one
[18:50] <owenll> orvar:  how about system settings->screen?
[18:50] <orvar> could it be the screen saver -> lock screen that stops my music?
 what do you mean?
[18:51] <mongy> ActionParsnip, ah, it's just a script to install it and not a pre-packaged product.  nvm
[18:51] <oCean> jeremiah_: use your browser to view the script at http://paste.ubuntu.com/821651/
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: copy the 2nd line and paste it to terminal, when it finishs copy line 3 and run that, and so on...
[18:51] <mongy> ActionParsnip, like the flashplugin-installer.
[18:51] <ssta> it does a better job of installing it though
[18:51] <auronandace> jeremiah_: you don't put : http://paste.ubuntu.com/821651/ in a terminal
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> mongy: the java license is a bit weird which is why its not in the ubuntu repos any more
 so i....
[18:52] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: i believe mongy is trying to say it's a script to download from oracle, similar to how flashplugin-install works.
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> oh, I guess
[18:52] <markyxxxz> Hi! What is the meta-package to install if I want to rebuild/reinstall my Ubuntu for "missing" or "corrupted" drivers/files/etc?
[18:53] <zykotick9> markyxxxz: ubuntu-desktop i believe
[18:53] <markyxxxz> That is, without touch the desktop.
[18:53] <markyxxxz> touching*
[18:53] <ssta> largely, OpneJDK works for most things these days...and will become better
 i got it
[18:53] <markyxxxz> zykotick9: Hmmm....
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> ssta: hope so :)
 i got it.
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: simples
[18:54] <markyxxxz> zykotick9: Will it not install over my current and entire ubuntu?
[18:54] <ssta> ActionParsnip: Oracle are making it the reference implementation for JDK7
[18:54] <rcmaehl> I have a keyboard and some of the keys show up as /dev/input/event3 while the keyboard is /dev/input/event2. How do I make the system recognize the keys on /dev/input/event3? The keys show up in showkey but not xev
[18:54] <zykotick9> markyxxxz: maybe, but that's the main meta-package involved
[18:54] <jeremiah_> t<ActionParsnip> his will work on lubuntu right?
[18:56] <rcmaehl> The keycodes are 418, 419, 442, 364, 466, 467, 468, 469, and 470
[18:56] <zykotick9> markyxxxz: unless you went to great lengths to removing something with a package manager, OR manually deleted stuff - then it's unlikely you're missing any packages from ubuntu-desktop (it's a hard meta-package to crack)
[18:56] <markyxxxz> OKay what about if I want to rebuild/reinstall the entire Xserver thing only? Is it safe to assume that keyboard,mouse and touchpad is controlled by Xserver?
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: works in any Linux distro you can name
[18:56] <artichoku> im having so much trouble
 good.
[18:56] <artichoku> i was trying to enable my other monitor
[18:56] <artichoku> it said i had to save my config file, and i did
[18:57] <artichoku> now everything looks all forked up
[18:58] <markyxxxz> zykotick9: The thing is I lost my keyboard and touchpad. I can regain the mouse (it's wireless) by pluggin-unpluggint it on GDM. That's about it. I do not understand how Ubuntu cannot make the keyboard and touchpad work.
[18:58] <zykotick9> markyxxxz: what is your real issue then?  keyboard/mouse not working?
[18:58] <markyxxxz> zykotick9: Note the keyboard is not really dead, a few laptop function keys work e.g. WIFI key still working, etc
[18:58] <rcmaehl> The keys do work
[18:58] <Girffe> Hey, I'm new to using ubuntu, I want to rename my Documents folder to documents so that it's easier to navigate through the terminal
[18:59] <rcmaehl> I've tested them in MS windows
[18:59] <Girffe> will renaming it cause problems?
[18:59] <zykotick9> markyxxxz: sorry, i don't have any real suggestions for you.  reinstalling xorg (or anything else for that matter) is unlikely to sove the issue though.
[18:59] <markyxxxz> zykotick9: yes. It has to be the X. That's the only thing I figure the damned ATI drivers wrote over and corrupted.
[18:59] <zykotick9> Girffe: it's probably NOT worth the effort, get used to upper and lower case ;)
[19:00] <zykotick9> markyxxxz: ATI - i'm out.  best of luck.
[19:00] <nicl> Hey all, probably an easy question, but I am stuck in a command on the command line and I don't know how to exit out of a command process without restarting terminal
[19:00] <rcmaehl> nicl: Ctrl+C
 on step 6 i got rm: cannot remove `./jdk-7u2-linux-i586.tar.gz': No such file or directory
[19:00] <markyxxxz> Okay what drives the keyboard and mouse? Anybody can point me somewhere?
[19:00] <markyxxxz> zykotick9: BTW, thanks :D
[19:00] <nicl> rcmaehl: ah great! That is exactly what I needed :) thanks
[19:01] <rcmaehl> clear
[19:01] <Girffe> Yeah, it's just that using the terminal is really nice for a lot of things over using the file browser, and doing small things like that make it a lot faster to navigate
[19:01] <nancy--> what are the most famous control panels for web hosting ?
[19:01] <Girffe> I just realized I can make a different folder anyway though, just going to use a separate folder called docs
[19:01] <Girffe> cheers
[19:01] <zykotick9> markyxxxz: keyboard/mouse is controlled by Xorg, you could check /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if it exists and/or has settings for you.
[19:02] <Mazter10> hey
 on step 6 i got rm: cannot remove `./jdk-7u2-linux-i586.tar.gz': No such file or directory
[19:03] <markyxxxz> zykotick9: LOL I"m going around in circles here. :) In my substantial years of using Linux, I've never lost a keyboard or mouse, except when i PHYSICALLY pulled on the cable or tripped on it with my foot. :D LOL
[19:03] <mystik> where is the trash in ubuntu 11.10 i took off unity and put gnome classic on
 on step 6 i got rm: cannot remove `./jdk-7u2-linux-i586.tar.gz': No such file or directory
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: no problem, you can just remove it yourself later, did the file download ok?
[19:04] <hydrox24> markyxxxz: synaptics? foro synaptic touchpads of course
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: no need to repeat, I saw the first time...
[19:05] <respond> am install timeviewer after am put root password no respond anythinks
[19:05] <respond> why
  yes and ok
[19:05] <Viliny> Anyone have any good guides somewhere on how to force local clients to use the servers squid proxy?
[19:05] <hydrox24> respond: how are you installing timeviewer?
[19:06] <respond> hydrox24, yes
[19:06] <respond> hydrox24, am download .deb and double click on it
[19:07] <mystik> can sometbody tell me wheres the recycling bin in ubuntu 11.04 gnome
[19:07] <zykotick9> respond: is it really "timeviewer" (or teamviewer)
[19:07] <markyxxxz> hydrox24: what about synaptics?
[19:07] <mystik> 11.10
[19:07] <hydrox24> ok, and nothing happens after you enter your password? I suggest you try using the command line package as that will be more liekly to give us errors so we can debug.
[19:07] <Swiss_Ninja> hai

[19:08] <markyxxxz> hey guys, is #xorg the help channel? That's the first thing I found on Google.....
[19:08] <respond> zykotick9, sorry miss type
[19:08] <mystik> thank u

[19:08] <Swiss_Ninja> roger roger over
[19:08] <Swiss_Ninja> computer overload sir
[19:08] <respond> Barbariandude, did hare ?
[19:09] <Swiss_Ninja> No, i'm not getting a reading
[19:09] <respond> any body can help how to run well teamviewer on my ubuntu? am have get .deb file of that
[19:09] <Swiss_Ninja> I can
[19:09] <Swiss_Ninja> what's your question?
 ok i did it all now what?
[19:10] <Swiss_Ninja> Try clearing your cache.
[19:10] <zykotick9> markyxxxz: you really should be trying to get support here (as it's pretty ubuntu specific most likely).  (if this started because of installing ATI, then perhaps if you moved /etc/X11/xorg.conf to xorg.conf.backup or something and restarted X, you might get your keyboard/mouse back, but loose 3d video)
[19:10] <hydrox24> respond: can you try using the command line (dpkg?)
[19:11] <markyxxxz> zykotick9: xorg.conf is not present. I've purged all fglrx related files.
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: did you selecthe java binary to be java for you?
[19:11] <mystik> hydrox24, r u talkign with me
what?!
[19:11] <HermanDE> Is anybody running a tproxy system using shorewall?
[19:12] <mystik> what does ... mean
[19:12] <mystik> in linux
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> jeremiah_: you will see a menu as part of the install asking you to choose the java binary
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> respond: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/12/teamviewer-7-beta-available-for-linux.html
[19:12] <markyxxxz> What is the correct apt-get options to pull a package form the repos and overwrite everything on ones install? Do I have to purge first or I need to "install --reinstall"?
 like if you manually do it or it does it for you?
[19:13] <zykotick9> mystik: . is present directory; .. up one level; ... i have no idea
[19:14] <Ascavasaion> I have had Ubuntu 10.04 onmy machine for a while and done all updates.  but now my Grubloader has about 10 different kernel versions to boot.  How do I uninstall the older kernels and free up some hard disk space and unclutter the Grub as well?
[19:14] <zykotick9> Ascavasaion: "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" will list all your installed kernels, uninstall the ones you don't want (they'll automatically be removed from grub)
[19:15] <Ascavasaion> zykotick9: Thank you.
[19:15] <Swiss_Ninja> we have an issue with the system.
[19:15] <Zepp_> omg
[19:15] <markyxxxz> Ascavasaion: You can do it easily on USC without fear of getting the wrong comand. Just as effective.
[19:15] <Zepp_> am I on #ubuntu
[19:15] <Zepp_> I need HELP
[19:15] <Zepp_> okay here
[19:15] <Zepp_> I have Windows 7
[19:15] <ChristopherNg> Zepp_: what is the problem?
[19:15] <Zepp_> I installed ubuntu
[19:16] <zykotick9> !enter | Zepp_
[19:16] <HermanDE> Zepp_, Wrong room....
[19:16] <Zepp_> qq
[19:16] <Zepp_> please refer me please
[19:16] <ChristopherNg> Zepp_: please be clear what the problem is first
[19:16] <Zepp_> I can't boot into Windows
[19:16] <Zepp_> it says
[19:16] <Zepp_> Error: No such partition
[19:16] <Zepp_> grub rescuer: _
[19:16] <zykotick9> !enter > Zepp_
[19:16] <ChristopherNg> Zepp_: did you delete the windows parition?
[19:17] <ai6pg> Zepp_: is that a problem ? ;-)
[19:17] <CyberDawg> Zepp_, oops
[19:17] <dan457> ouch
[19:17] <ChristopherNg> ai6pg: its a problem if he wants to game i guess
[19:17] <CyberDawg> its only a problem if you want to run windas
[19:17] <HermanDE> It's a good thing.  No need for the microsoft cruft anymore.
[19:17] <cgfree> exit
[19:18] <kah> when i install virtualbox and run ubuntu on it, everytime i shut it seems to lose the work i had previously done (.. install ruby on rails)
[19:18] <kah> why is that
[19:18] <ssta> kah: are you running the live image maybe?
[19:18] <zykotick9> kah: are you using the livecd or a VM's HD?
[19:18] <markyxxxz> most likely the live cd
[19:18] <kah> image
[19:18] <kah> iso
[19:19] <ssta> kah: you need to install to a HD then
 on step nine i get a error
[19:19] <kah> suggestions?
[19:19] <helpdesk> Im looking for a https front end for a weak http webserver. in other words im looking for a machine that can sit inbetween the insecure http server and provide a https interface to the outside world
[19:19] <switchtech> yetch had to change my name
[19:20] <HermanDE> switchtech, check out pound
[19:20] <kriestof> Hi, I need to use some linux live cd. I will be using g++, vim, some web browser and have to configure wifi. Will Ubuntu live cd be proper?
[19:20] <switchtech> HermanDE: is that a channel?
[19:20] <HermanDE> switchtech, It's an applicaton.
[19:20] <switchtech> aah
[19:20] <switchtech> brb
[19:20] <iceroot> kriestof: ubuntu live-cd does not have vim and g++ installed by default
[19:20] <HermanDE> switchtech, More like a reverse/forwarding proxy system
[19:21] <iceroot> kriestof: you have to install when the system is running
[19:21] <zykotick9> iceroot: well vim-tiny ;)
[19:21] <HermanDE> switchtech, It's very simple and ensures proper http coms.
[19:21] <iceroot> zykotick9: vim-tiny == vi
[19:21] <Sherlock_> is there a channel related to ubuntu on mac or am I in the right place?
[19:21] <zykotick9> iceroot: agreed
 on step nine i get a error
[19:21] <switchtech> HermanDE: thanks, ill check it out...
[19:21] <iceroot> kriestof: but you can installed a system to a usb-drive for example
[19:21] <kriestof> iceroot: So every time after reboot, I will have to install it again?
[19:22] <hydrox24> jeremiah_: always specify the error or link to it on pastebin, thanks.
[19:22] <iceroot> kriestof: correct
[19:22] <auronandace> jeremiah_: he left
[19:22] <iceroot> kriestof: install the system to an usb-drive, much better
 mv: cannot stat `/home/jeremiah/jre1.7.0_02/': No such file or directory
[19:22] <Ascavasaion> Okay, I removed all the excess kernels using sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.32-XX-generic (XX = version numbers), then I ran sudo update-grub2.  Are there any other files like headers, source, etc that I can remove?
[19:22] <zykotick9> kriestof: if you have a usb (and systems that boot usb) you can install a full ubuntu onto a usb key.
[19:22] <kriestof> iceroot: does it take a lot of time?
[19:23] <bucaneiro> the usb drive install isnot working for me...
[19:23] <iceroot> kriestof: the usb-installation?
[19:23] <kriestof> iceroot: Yes.
[19:23] <g0bl1n> 12
[19:23] <iceroot> kriestof: the same time as a normal hdd installation, 10-30 minutes
[19:23] <CAPITALISMUS> bill gates is going to spy kids at school http://news.slashdot.org/story/12/01/29/1446236/gates-paying-murdoch-for-system-to-track-us-kids-school-progress
 the link is http://paste.ubuntu.com/821651/
[19:23] <iceroot> CAPITALISMUS: stop it
[19:23] <hydrox24> jeremiah_: just catching up with the previous parts of the conversation. sorry
[19:24] <zykotick9> iceroot: same time, you must be kidding, installing to usb take MUCH longer.
[19:24] <iceroot> zykotick9: no
 its ok
[19:24] <iceroot> zykotick9: depending on the drive of course
[19:24] <kriestof> iceroot: :o so I make typical installation and in devices I'll see my pen drive device?
[19:24] <iceroot> kriestof: correct
[19:25] <zykotick9> iceroot: USB even USB2 is SLOW compared to sata/ide.  then flash storage devices are often a limiting factor as well.  Installs to USB are slow.
[19:25] <iceroot> zykotick9: usb-drive == ssd
[19:25] <sharkmap> thinking about installing ubuntu on my main desktop. I have 3 drives. Vista is on a 150GB drive with 1 partition. I have two other hard drives. 1.5GB with 1 partition and 2GB with 2 partitions, 1.7GB and 300GB. all boot info is on the 150GB drive. Can I install a dual boot with ubuntu on the 300GB partiton with all boot info on that partition? or does must write to the 150GB drive? thanks for any info.
[19:25] <hydrox24> jeremiah_: You said something about step 7... what instructions are you following?
[19:25] <g0bl1n> Usb goes through cpu
[19:25] <zykotick9> iceroot: if it's going through USB it'll still be slow
[19:25] <OerHeks> !nounity
[19:25] <kriestof> zykotick9: But sometimes you havent choice
[19:25] <iceroot> zykotick9: USB2 can do 480MBit/s, a normal hdd can make 80MByte/s
[19:25] <zykotick9> kriestof: agreed
 http://paste.ubuntu.com/821651/
[19:26] <sharkmap> does the install
[19:26] <hydrox24> jeremiah_: thanks, won't be a second
[19:26] <kriestof> iceroot: can I have installation on pendrive where I want to install system?
[19:26] <iceroot> kriestof: ?
[19:27] <zykotick9> kriestof: you can't install onto your install media no.
[19:27] <kriestof> zykotick9: ok, thanks
[19:27] <kriestof> and iceroot too
[19:27] <iceroot> zykotick9: also remeber a usb-drive is much faster on read/write access then a hdd
[19:27] <iceroot> zykotick9: so there is no big difference in usb or hdd
[19:28] <zykotick9> iceroot: usb is faster then nothing ;)  it's slow, believe what you wish.
[19:28] <iceroot> zykotick9: my system here is running on usb
[19:28] <iceroot> zykotick9: trust me
[19:28] <hydrox24> jeremiah_: If you go into you home dir, can you find the file that is simlarly named to the one the commmand is trying to move, and change the command in the script to match?
[19:28] <acicula> iceroot: just cause you can does not mean its fast
[19:28] <iceroot> zykotick9: do some hdparm-benchmark on a usb-drive and a hdd and you will see
[19:28] <phpN00b> in gnome3 there is a small system tray at the bottom of the screen. Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch to one of those application ¨minimize¨?
[19:28] <iceroot> acicula: do some hdparm-benchmark too
 i'll try.
[19:29] <iceroot> acicula: and i am only saying that is it not MUCH slower then a hdd
[19:29] <acicula> oh but it is
[19:29] <sharkmap> can you install ubunto dual boot onto a different drive than the other OS?
[19:29] <acicula> usb2.0 is 480Mbit, the sata 1 interface is 1.5Gb/s, 3 if you have sata 2
[19:30] <acicula> if you attach a disk via usb2.0 its the usb connection that is slowing things down, not the harddrive
[19:30] <iceroot> acicula: show me one hdd which can handle 3gb/s
[19:30] <hydrox24> phpN00b: those applications arent so much minimized as they are "available to giv you alerts", atleast that
[19:30] <zykotick9> iceroot: from my testing, hdparms on usb gives very strange results (i wouldn't trust them if i where you).  Testing a variety of USB and SD cards gave wildly diverse results, retesting the same USB would often get very different results as well.
[19:30] <kriestof> oh guys one more question. Maybe I'm able to install my Ubuntu system on USB somehow without using boot device(usb or CD)?
[19:30] <hydrox24> phpN00b: atleast that is my understanding. It's more like those little tiny icons next to the clock in windows.
[19:30] <iceroot> acicula: hdparm on my sata-drive is showing 87MByte/s
[19:31] <Ascavasaion> Any ideas on what can be removed to make HDD space?  I have removed old Linux kernels.  Anything else that hangs around after upgrades etc.?
[19:31] <iceroot> acicula: my usb-drive is giving me 49MByte/s
[19:31] <hydrox24> Ascavasaion: try: sudo apt-get autoclean
[19:31] <zykotick9> Ascavasaion: "du -h /var/cache/apt"
[19:31] <iceroot> acicula: with much faster read/write access, so i dont see the BIG difference
[19:31] <hydrox24> Ascavasaion: It cleans out cached .deb files and the like
[19:32] <zykotick9> Ascavasaion: by du command will be low after running hydrox24 command ;)
[19:32] <iceroot> acicula: as / its much more important to have fast read/write then a high transfer-rate.
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Ascavasaion: use bleachbit carefully as root and your user with as many apps closed as possible
[19:32] <Karmaon> I'm guessing laggy window dragging is gone in gnome
[19:33] <acicula> iceroot: 49Mbyte/s from a usb2 connection sounds more like an error then an actual speed
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> Karmaon: depends on config
 sorry but i have to go. i will try when i have time and if i bumb into you again i will let you know.
[19:33] <iceroot> acicula: 480MBit/s / 8 = 69Mbyte/s (theoretical max)
[19:33] <iceroot> acicula: 480MBit/s / 8 = 60Mbyte/s (theoretical max)
[19:34] <hydrox24> jeremiah_: that's OK
[19:34] <iceroot> acicula: its just a matter of quality of the usb-memory
[19:34] <theadmin> err... How is USB transfer speed an Ubuntu support issue?
[19:35] <iceroot> theadmin: installing ubuntu on usb is a support issue
[19:35] <Ascavasaion> Thank you guys.
[19:35] <theadmin> iceroot: Ah, I see then.
[19:35]  * theadmin runs her OS off a USB drive and never encountered any major slowness
[19:35] <theadmin> Then again, I use Openbox...
[19:35] <iceroot> theadmin: same here (both) :)
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> Iceroot: the max is 80Mbps, so its not bad. USB 1.1 max is 12Mbps
[19:36] <Gos> good day to you all
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Hi gos
[19:36] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: 480MBit/s / 8 = 60MByte/s
[19:36] <theadmin> iceroot: I see, heh, that's a nice coincidence xD
[19:37] <Viliny_> theadmin, russian?
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> Misread. D'oh
[19:37] <iceroot> so running / on usb2 is not a problem, you dont need high transfer-rates for / normally, you want fast read/write like a ssd is offering
[19:37] <theadmin> Viliny_: #ubuntu-ru
[19:37] <Viliny_> no, are you russian?
[19:37] <iceroot> have a look at iotop, you will never see something more then a few MByte/s
[19:38] <auronandace> Viliny: that isn't a support question
[19:38] <theadmin> Viliny_: Yes, but that's irrelevant.
[19:38] <phpN00b> to type ¨ I have to press on the ¨ key twice. why?
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> Iceroot: pciexpress storage is awesome though :-)
[19:38] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: yes :)
[19:38] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: but hard to find on my netbook :)
[19:39] <Viliny> theadmin, i think you taught me ruby :)
[19:39] <DJones> phpN00b: I suspect that will be down to your keyboard layout, if the keyboard layout you're using has "sticky keys on", then thats the default behaviour
[19:39] <theadmin> Viliny: Could be, heh, I don't remember much, talk to way too many people recently
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> Iceroot: there is a 1.2tb pciexpress storage for 2 arms and 2 legs

[19:42] <switchtech> HermanDE: multiple props, that was exactly what i was looking for...
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> Theadmin: ask a silly question...
[19:42] <theadmin> dak0: No idea what that means...
[19:42] <iceroot> danny_: no
[19:42] <HermanDE> switchtech, I've been using it for way too many years.

[19:43] <danny_> iceroot: both ubuntus?
[19:43] <HermanDE> switchtech, Nice.  Bet he was going to *yet again* recreate the wheel.
[19:43] <iceroot> danny_: sure

[19:45] <switchtech> Looks like... and very easy to config... im building the second config now... a couple of head nods and this thing is going into beta.
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> CAPITALISMUS: yes but its necessary for some. Irc doesnt need it plus its a bad idea

[19:46] <Guest52943> i need bots or nix
[19:46] <danny_> iceroot ubottu have samba, apache2 and all other nec packages to show
[19:46] <phpN00b> DJones, it prob has to do witht he keyboard layout
[19:46] <CAPITALISMUS> why is it necessary ?
[19:46] <iceroot> danny_: so you are using samba to build a share between two linux-machines?
[19:46] <hkjh> thank you theadmin and ubottu

[19:47] <CAPITALISMUS> like say apache
[19:47] <bruce927> I'm on 11.10 64 bit with an intel 4500m, but it according to System Info, my Graphics are unknown. I've got the intel xorg package installed, though. Any idea what's up?

[19:48] <danny_> iceroot, right now am trying with gnome-user-share
[19:49] <HermanDE> switchtech, Looks nasty....  Thanks for the pointer.
[19:49] <CAPITALISMUS> ActionParsnip: i get it its for security reasons then
[19:49] <DJones> phpN00b: The only time I've seen that problem, it was something related to the keyboard layout similar to this http://askubuntu.com/questions/56560/what-exactly-is-meant-by-eliminate-dead-keys
[19:49] <neurochrome> can anyone tell me why 'about ubuntu' is telling me I'm running natty, when I'm still on 10.10?
[19:49] <switchtech> HermanDE: Its a local exploit only, but its vicious for privledge escalation. many distros still unpatched...
[19:50] <HermanDE> switchtech, I'm helping a friend fire up about 300 ubuntu workstations.
[19:50] <HermanDE> switchtech, This will become very important.
[19:50] <phpN00b> DJones, i THINK i NEED TO REBOOT FOR THE CHANGES TO EFFECT
[19:50] <zykotick9> neurochrome: in a terminal try "lsb_release -a"
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> bruce927: sounds like your monitor isn't reporting edid like it should. You may need an xorg.conf file to accommodate it and set the res etc
[19:50] <switchtech> HermanDE: SweetJesus!
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> CAPITALISMUS: also remember the target audience of ubuntu.
[19:51] <neurochrome> zykotick9, yeah 10.10
[19:51] <DJones> phpN00b: I'm not sure how to disable the dead keys on 11.10 though
[19:51] <bruce927> Well that's a bugger, it's on a laptop
[19:51] <neurochrome> zykotick9, although I just cat /etc/lsb-release
[19:51] <HermanDE> switchtech, Yep.  I'm fighting tproxy with shorewall.
[19:51] <CAPITALISMUS> ActionParsnip: what do you mean?
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> neurochrome: what kernel do you have?
[19:51] <CAPITALISMUS> whats the target audience of ubuntu?
[19:51] <bruce927> Also reporting I only have experience set to standard, ActionParsnip
[19:51] <neurochrome> ActionParsnip, Linux neuromancer 2.6.35-32-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 2 23:31:33 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
[19:52] <HermanDE> switchtech, Ubuntu want's to be bleeding edge...  Yet the QA on some of the less known packages simply sucks hard.
[19:52] <zykotick9> neurochrome: neuromancer the book is sitting on my desk right now :)
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> CAPITALISMUS: ubuntu is aimed at new Linux users, so helping them form good habits is advantageous
[19:52] <switchtech> HermanDE: That is very true, Do you use webmin at all for cluster administration?
[19:52] <neurochrome> zykotick9, which book?
[19:53] <zykotick9> neurochrome: the book "neruromancer"... never mind ;)
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image-generic natty
[19:53] <neurochrome> zykotick9, ahhh! ;)
[19:53] <bruce927> Yet I still appear to have compiz effects running
[19:53] <HermanDE> switchtech, At one time it was slick and awesome.  Now, I'm looking at nfs shared configs.
[19:53] <DJones> phpN00b: Just something to check, are you on 11.10? If so, open dash and enter keboard and run the keyboard layout program
[19:53] <HermanDE> switchtech, Makes things much easier to manage.
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> neurochrome: interesting
[19:54] <neurochrome> zykotick9, ooops, just read you message again... me getting confused! (easily done!)
[19:54] <CAPITALISMUS> ActionParsnip: i thought ubuntu didnt had a target audience or was aimed at any one in particular
[19:54] <neurochrome> ActionParsnip, it is isn't it!
[19:54] <phpN00b> DJones, yes, I am on 11:10 x64
[19:54] <DJones> phpN00b: What language does it say its using?
[19:54] <switchtech> HermanDE: there is a hitch with webmin also, you have to make sure to nuke Webmin users along with normal accounts. Else its a short backdoor to regain access...
[19:54] <zykotick9> !webmin
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> CAPITALISMUS: all Linuxes have a goal or aim
[19:54] <switchtech> HermanDE: Just a thought...
[19:54] <neurochrome> ActionParsnip, also my FF just got bumped up to 9.01... I'm guessing that was a planned update for maverick users?
[19:54] <phpN00b> DJones, the old setting has ¨Death key¨ in the keyborard layout name
[19:54] <CAPITALISMUS> yes to take over the world
[19:54] <fdewe> Hello. Is it possible to remove the transparent panel on the right and move the panel on top to the bottom?
[19:54] <phpN00b> I changed it but I need to reboot for it to take effect
[19:54] <LjL> !ot
[19:55] <DJones> phpN00b: Yes I think you will need to reboot for the setting to take effect
[19:55] <Seryth> I downloaded a .deb file, installed the program, and now I want to remove it. However, if I double click the deb, the only option I get is "re-install". How do I remove it?
[19:55] <markyxxxz> Linux for human beings <-- that's the target
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> neurochrome: maverick dies in April. I can't see many more updates coming after a while
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> Seryth: use software centre
[19:55] <neurochrome> ActionParsnip, yeah when EOL hits, well, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it
[19:56] <CAPITALISMUS> so linux isnt target at animals^?
[19:56] <CAPITALISMUS> i men ubuntu
[19:56] <Seryth> ActionParsnip: It's not in the software center. I can't see it when I search for it...
[19:56] <LjL> CAPITALISMUS: please stay on topic
[19:56] <pikaciu> Seryth: or synaptic
[19:56] <HermanDE> switchtech, And to make things even easier, we are talking about moving to Linux Terminals....
[19:57] <neurochrome> ActionParsnip, what distro/version are you using?... Just out of curiosity
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> CAPITALISMUS: i don't think they have the ability although I've see ipad apps for cats
[19:57] <switchtech> HermanDE: Torvalds would be proud..
[19:57] <markyxxxz> CAPITALISMUS: No the animals target the humans... :D that's why Ubuntu uses animal nicknames, e.g. Lucid Lynx, Natty Narhwal
[19:57] <LjL> ActionParsnip: how about we drop this?
[19:57] <CAPITALISMUS> my lil ponny
[19:57] <Seryth> pikaciu: Okay ty.

[19:58] <kaipreshaw> !lubuntu
[19:59] <CAPITALISMUS> hey a friend of mine tells me the that in new ubuntu the mouse will be deprecated
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> kaipreshaw: sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop
[19:59] <LjL> CAPITALISMUS: stay on topic. last warning.
[19:59] <pikaciu> ActionParsnip: on youtube you can see a kitten trying to catch a mouse
[19:59] <Seryth> pikaciu, ActionParsnip:Nope, I can't uninstall the package with software center or with synaptic...it's not listed?
[19:59] <markyxxxz> What's the proper way to reconfigure X on Ubuntu? It seems dpkg-reconfigure is not effective anymore.
[19:59] <markyxxxz> kaipreshaw: install the KDE meta package I assume
[20:00] <theadmin> markyxxxz: X -configure as root while X is not running?
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> !info plasma-desktop
[20:00] <pikaciu> Seryth: are you sure is installed ?
[20:00] <switchtech> h
[20:00] <Seryth> pikaciu: It's in my applications list and i can run it.
[20:00] <stephenh> !ban CAPITALISMUS
[20:00] <markyxxxz> theadmin: On recovery mode. My input devices won't work.
[20:00] <CAPITALISMUS> hey will the new kernel update break my proprietary graphics card driver?
[20:00] <theadmin> CAPITALISMUS: If you're using dkms, no
[20:01] <neurochrome> ActionParsnip, xpud, that's a new one for me... anyhow I'm off, guessing it's a bug...
[20:01] <stephenh> so obviously trolling...
[20:01] <varikonniemi> hello, can anybody tell me how hard it would be to support the hiding of window decorations unity has in maximizing a window?
[20:01] <pikaciu> Seryth: did you type the app name in synaptic search bar ?
[20:01] <LjL> stephenh: we don't ban on request
[20:01] <Merley> Can I make initscript somehow delay the start of something?
[20:01] <Merley> For 30 seconds or so
[20:01] <Seryth> pikaciu: Yes.
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: there is a way to switch display using export to where X isn't running
[20:01] <phy1729> .quit
[20:02] <stephenh> LjL: i know, i joke.
[20:02] <andai> My ubuntu PC is networked with my family's windows computers. I'd like to set it up as the main place to store music, over the network. What's the best way to do this? Samba?

[20:02] <stephenh> it would be interesting if you did though..
[20:02] <phpN00b> I can not find truecrypt in ¨open with"of the context menu

[20:02] <markyxxxz> Guys, what's the proper way to reinstall/reconfigure X on Ubuntu?
[20:02] <varikonniemi> or even 11.10 if you install experimental unity 5.0
[20:02] <markyxxxz> Guys, what's the proper way to reinstall/reconfigure X on Ubuntu 11.04?
[20:02] <andai> stephenh: I've had limited success streaming files over FTP with VLC, I was hoping there was some exciting new ( windows compatible ) technology since then
[20:03] <andai> Samba it is then? :)
[20:03] <stephenh> andai: nope
[20:03] <stephenh> i wouldn't use ubuntu
[20:03] <stephenh> although you can
[20:03] <trism> varikonniemi: do you mean in say, gnome shell or fallback? if so this works: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME#Hide_titlebar_when_maximized
[20:03] <pikaciu> Seryth: try dpkg -- purge
[20:03] <stephenh> www.amahi.org/
[20:03] <stephenh> check them out
[20:03] <entreri> varikonniemi: thanks
[20:03] <stephenh> linux based too
[20:03] <FloodBot1> stephenh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:03] <stephenh> you can add their repo's and install it onto an ubuntu machine if you really want
[20:03] <stephenh> but just seems like more work
[20:04] <stephenh> of course if you like ubuntu... you won't mind the effort ;)
[20:04] <markyxxxz> Guys, what's the proper way to reinstall/reconfigure X on Ubuntu 11.04? <--- anybody?
[20:04] <varikonniemi> trism, i mean that when a application renders in a window
[20:04] <biohazard135> hey, what does "deinstall" mean in dpkg?
[20:04] <varikonniemi> can i tell that application/window to drop the titlebar?
[20:04] <icimabue> in gnome 3, does anyone know how to choose a setting where the min, max, close buttons are to the right?
[20:04] <zykotick9> markyxxxz: do you have an xorg.conf currently?  do you need to edit it?  do you need an xorg.conf file?
[20:04] <andai> stephenh: The website seems to tell you to install fedora and then amahi... or is there a more direct approach I'm not seeing?
[20:05] <Seryth> pikaciu: Thanks
[20:05] <switchtech> biohazard135: The package is selected for deinstallation (i.e. we want to remove all files, except configuration files).
[20:05] <zykotick9> markyxxxz: to generate one, you could use "X -configure :1" if server is already active.  But that's kinda the old-school method of configuring Xorg.
[20:05] <markyxxxz> zykotick9: No. I'm going to use Intel.By default xorg.conf is not needed. I just need to knw the proper way to reinstall and reconfigure everything.
[20:06] <pikaciu> Seryth: you're wellcome
[20:06] <switchtech> biohazard135: for more information #man dpkg
[20:06] <test_>  I need to know how to seperate an account from it's root (if that makes sense)
[20:06] <markyxxxz> zykotick9: Hmm I haven't tried that.
[20:06] <markyxxxz> zykotick9: is that X or xinit?
[20:06] <BTaylor927> Does gxlgears max out at 60 fps?
[20:06] <zykotick9> markyxxxz: X
[20:06] <test_>  example when i type sudo -s I get cam@julien
 How do i get rid of the @ julien
 I'm trying to encrypt my main sudo folder but it wont let me as it sayd 'im still logged in (despite using cam)
[20:07] <zykotick9> markyxxxz: it might require sudo, and try to see where it places the config file

[20:07] <phpN00b> how do I set Epiphany as default browser?
[20:07] <markyxxxz> zykotick9: That could work.
[20:07] <stephenh> andai: hold on
[20:08] <stephenh> i think they even have an ubuntu based version to download
[20:08] <stephenh> i'll have a look
[20:08] <stephenh> 1 sec
[20:08] <markyxxxz> How about replacing the packages, is it necessary to purge first then reinstall, so as to wipe everything clean or will the reinstall take care of that?
[20:09] <markyxxxz> I believe my X settings are all screwed, especially the part on the input devices.
[20:09] <zykotick9> phpN00b: if you are using gnome/unity then install galternatives and using it's GUI interface to edit x-www-browser and gnome-www-browser might work
[20:09] <Seryth> pikaciu: I can't see the remove flag?
[20:09] <stephenh> http://www.amahi.org/faq#does-amahi-support-ubuntu
[20:09] <Flannel> markyxxxz: If your settings are messed up, you want to purge.  Reinstall just removes/installs, which assumes you know what you're doing re: settings.
[20:09] <damselfly9> markyxxxz, have you tried xorgconfig?
[20:09] <icimabue> owennll: thanks, i'll check it out.

[20:10] <BTaylor927> I tried installing unity 5.0 in 11.10, how can I tell which version I have? I tried echo $DESKTOP_SESSION, but it only tells me I'm using unity 3d, not which version of unity is running
[20:10] <atpa8a> hello

[20:10] <stephenh> my mistake
[20:10] <pikaciu> Seryth: try dpkg -- purge
[20:10] <markyxxxz> mongy: X is screwed. Dash won't be of any help
[20:10] <BTaylor927> Can't see any difference, so I'm not sure if I'm still running the default 11.10 version or the newer 5
[20:10] <switchtech> markyxxxz #man xrandr
[20:10] <stephenh> i still haven't gotten to play with it much, but it really does look like a great piece of software
[20:11] <switchtech> if you need to look up more info online use lynx

[20:11] <n28> Hai hai hai hai!
[20:11] <andai> stephenh thanks :D
[20:11] <atpa8a> why do i see *multiple* 'Starting OpenSSH Server'/'Stopping OpenSSH Server' during boot in 11.10?

[20:11] <markyxxxz> mongy: OH ok :D
[20:11] <madrid> ok

[20:11] <switchtech> zykotick9: good point.
[20:11] <stephenh> yeah ok, then just use samba

[20:11] <switchtech> just saw the comment about x being messed up.
