[12:12] <popolon> there is an urgent bug, that has solution, that is about ibus-hangul (korean keyboard) on non-us keyboard
[12:12] <popolon> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus-hangul/+bug/685174
[12:12] <milamber> javahorn: sorry, i am a lts guy
[12:13] <popolon> http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=1158
[12:13] <twiztid> ya for sure, anytime i can i always try... i know how it feels to pull hair... lol
[12:13] <popolon> the patch is in this bug report
[12:13] <twiztid> your very welcome
[12:13] <popolon> (new version of ibus-hangul
[12:13] <javahorn> any further suggestions
[12:13] <dtrf4837> skiwithpete its a few years old, i just been having problems booting to desktop ever since i copied text from a post from 2009 into xorg.conf then saved it then rebooted. i had my desktop then but after that i havent been able to boot into desktop
[12:13] <assembledbear> #vim
[12:13] <popolon> there are two reporters of this bug on ibus bugtracker
[12:13] <dtrf4837> skiwithpete i have a desktop
[12:14] <popolon> this is really annoying, I compiled updated version on ubuntu 10.10 to avoid this bug
[12:14] <dtrf4837> skiwithpete i have gpc2
[12:14] <oCean> javahorn: screen brightness issues have always been around. Many issues can be found @LP
[12:14] <popolon> but most oversea koreans will don't like ubuntu because of that
[12:14] <javahorn> oCean: what is @LP ?
[12:14] <oCean> javahorn: sorry. Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu)
[12:15] <javahorn> oCean: LaunchPad ? file bug?
[12:15] <popolon> this is really blocking bug
[12:15] <dtrf4837> gpc2 came with linux but not ubuntu
[12:15] <javahorn> oCean:  you faced any? all Fn+Brightness keys are disabled , very disgusting!!
[12:15] <popolon> even korean using dvorak keyboard can't type in there own language then
[12:15] <skiwithpete> dtrf4837, what version of Ubuntu?
[12:15] <Parameter> back
[12:16] <dtrf4837> 10.10
[12:16] <twiztid> parameter: any luck?
[12:16] <oCean> javahorn: yes I ran into such issue using Asus x71. Currently 10.04.2 is works just fine. No promises for next releases :/
[12:16] <javahorn> oCean: so what you did?
[12:16] <Johnm> rename u911 john_mill_fb
[12:16] <Johnm> save
[12:17] <dtrf4837> skiwithpete i can reinstall i have all data backed up
[12:17] <skiwithpete> hey everyone, does 10.10 need xorg.conf?
[12:17] <Parameter> twiztid, unfortunately, it seems to be still not connecting
[12:17] <Parameter> anyways, thanks for the help, again
[12:17] <twiztid> parameter: damn well my next suggestion is instead of forwarding ip's you can bridge your ppp and eth0 connections together for the same effect of ICS
[12:17] <skiwithpete> true, you could even install alpha3
[12:17] <javahorn> staar2:
[12:17] <javahorn> staar2: sorry
[12:17] <Parameter> well, I gotta go now
[12:17] <oCean> javahorn: nothing. It was fixed in 10.04. But in the bugs at LP, there are sometimes workarounds.
[12:18] <Parameter> I'll try bridging if I have the chance
[12:18] <oCean> javahorn: the issues differ per hardware config i guess
[12:18] <Parameter> bye
[12:18] <skiwithpete> dtrf4837, but I think you can just ditch your xorg.conf and it will make a new one
[12:18] <twiztid> theres a bridging utility to join the two... no worries... heres a small tutorial on the matter:
[12:18] <javahorn> oCean: praying this time i am lucky, reinstalling 10.10
[12:18] <oCean> javahorn: fingers crossed :)
[12:19] <twiztid> ok, nvmind... now so eager to get it connected i guess
[12:19] <javahorn> oCean:  heads down, eyes closed for more brightness, let there be light
[12:19] <javahorn> :)
[12:19] <twiztid> so, back to my question... lol
[12:20] <twiztid> anyone remember the name of the program that allowed installing operationg systems to devices such as mp3 players to boot to?

[12:22] <twiztid> sebble: YES!!!
[12:23] <milamber> dtrf4837: what do you mean get out? cd will allow you to change directories and  "cd ~" (w/o quotes) will take you to your home directory
[12:23] <skiwithpete> dtrf4837, cd..  cd..
[12:23] <twiztid> dtrf4837: cd /

[12:26] <dtrf4837> skiwithpete i did that and it says v: missing destination operand after '/etc/x11/xorg.conf.bak
[12:26] <twiztid> sebble: ok, ill check that out, u think it'd void my xp activation? wither bartpe or unetbootin?
[12:26] <dtrf4837> btw the text on the left part of the screen doesnt fit in so i cant read everything
[12:27] <twiztid> surcane: can i run xp from this?
[12:27] <skiwithpete> fuck it, you're just going to kill it anyways right?  type sudo rm /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[12:27] <oCean> twiztid: this is not the channel where MS products are on topic

[12:27] <skiwithpete> oCean, sorry mate.
[12:27] <sebble> @twitzid It definitely voids warranties to modify XP with BartPE to make it USB bootable, but you can still verify as an original windows using a valid Key

[12:29] <amin> how could I remove all the program I install and get fresh ubutu
[12:29] <SirCane> twiztid http://bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm you can use any of these, just copy contents of winxp setup to usb after

[13:05] <cato_> then make it ext4

[13:17] <xfgghjlsine> does any one know if it is possible to exit two screen windows without -r them as it freeze every time i try to re atach
[13:17] <ruan> how do i record from my playback device? aka stereo mix
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> parapan:  not sure thats going to be a trivial thing to do.  It may be you have to do some custom menu creation for the dvd also. You could try 'devede' it can proberly do it.. some how.
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> xfgghjlsine:  you could kill the screen processes if you want them dead.
[13:19] <xfgghjlsine> any one recomend dtach seesm simpler than this
[13:19] <xfgghjlsine> all screen has done its give me grief
[13:20] <javahorn> Dr_Willis: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html -- is recommended if i am installing after Win7 ?
[13:20] <xfgghjlsine> thanks Dr_Willis -
[13:20] <BigMac> does anyone know when firefox 3.6.15 will be available in the repositories?
[13:20] <muppetbert> hey, im trying to connect my camera to my computer, but when i plug it in, nothing happens. when i do an lsusb though i see: "Bus 002 Device 008: ID 04cb:0213 Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd" so it recognises it
[13:21] <abhinav_singh> I am using Ubuntu ..how should I upgrade virtual box
[13:22] <knittl> $ gcc -Wall -lGL -lGLU -lglut opengl.cpp
[13:22] <knittl> /tmp/ccK3ZdwN.o: In function `main':
[13:22] <knittl> opengl.cpp:(.text+0x2d): undefined reference to `glClearColor'
[13:22] <knittl> anything i am missing? :(
[13:22] <xfgghjlsine> Dr_Willis would killall (proc name) work
[13:22] <erUSUL> g++?
[13:23] <knittl> erUSUL: same result
[13:23] <erUSUL> knittl: did you installed the mesa and freeglut dev packages?
[13:23] <knittl> yes. if i didn't it should complain about missing libs
[13:24] <xfgghjlsine> killall proc name did work
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> xfgghjlsine:  kill commands normally use the process id.  theres 'kill' and 'killall' check their manp[ages
[13:25] <xfgghjlsine> thanks though been scratching my head all morn with this issue - im new to ubuntu ofc :)
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> xfgghjlsine:  more of a 'bash job controll' type issue/thing tolearn about :)
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> kill, killall and oher commands. are pretty much standard on all disrtos. and even some non linux os's :)
[13:26] <xfgghjlsine> hehe well my guys hassled me into doing a vps with ubuntu so im in deep end imo
[13:27] <erUSUL> pkill and pgrep are prefered over killall :)
[13:27] <llutz> Dr_Willis: don't use killall on Solaris. if you don't know the differences ;)
[13:27] <ashworth> good place to ask a grub question? tried #grub but it's all silent
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> Not used a SUN os in years. :)
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  ask it here. see who knows.. if all else fails theres a LOT of good grub docs out there.
[13:27] <ashworth> does anyone know which partition grub2 looks for it's grub.cfg on boot?
[13:27] <ruan> ashworth: depends, but grub is related to ubuntu so it should be
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  when grub gets installed to the mbr - thats set  as part of the mbr i belive.
[13:28] <erUSUL> ashworth: the one you tell it when you install it in the mbr
[13:28] <xfgghjlsine> i followed a guide coments said was easyer to use killall proc name it worked nothing "looks" broken yet :)
[13:28] <xfgghjlsine> heh
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> killall on a multiuser ssytem with lots of users logged in - can lead to some mad users. :)
[13:28] <abhinav_singh> I am using Ubuntu ..how should I upgrade virtual box
[13:28] <ruan> lol
[13:28] <erUSUL> xfgghjlsine: « pkill process_name »
[13:28] <ruan> abhinav_singh: how did you install it?
[13:28] <llutz> Dr_Willis: only if used as root
[13:28] <ashworth> i dd'ed an ubuntu partition (to make it bigger. i have changed the uuid, resize2fs etc)
[13:29] <abhinav_singh> ruan i downloaded .deb package
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:   You proberly need to use a live cd. and fix the grub bootloader/files , and fstab file.
[13:29] <dubbe> ashworth: if you have meddled with the partitions you might have to re-install grub
[13:29] <erUSUL> abhinav_singh: download the last one from Vbox website
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  you can change the UUID of a partition via the tune2fs command. that may be easier to do.
[13:29] <GeekMan> hey is it normal that my cpu usage goes up as my tempreture on my laptop goes up
[13:29] <vargadanis> Hi! I am unable to boot up my Ubuntu partition after I installed a new version of another OS. Am I correct to assume that I can restore the boot menu by reinstalling grub?
[13:30] <ruan> GeekMan: cpu causes temperature rise
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub | vargadanis
[13:30] <vargadanis> Dr_Willis, thaaaank you :)
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> vargadanis:  also check the various grub2 docs out in the forums and wiki.
[13:31] <ashworth> right, so now i have two ubuntu - say in /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5. my question is 'grub-install /dev/sda'  installs grub2 into mbr. OK. But where is it going to look for it's grub.cfg on startup? in /dev/sda2/boot/grub/grub.cfg or /dev/sda5/boot/grub/grub.cfg? as i understand grub.cfg is _not_ part of MBR
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  one of the os's controlls grub.. it uses that os's grub files.
[13:31] <GeekMan> ruan well this is all very strange because twice if i start a process and end it while im laying my laptop on my bed the cpu useage stay at 100 after i turn off that process but if i move it off the bed the usage drops
[13:31] <xfgghjlsine> so any one used dtach - like screen just simpler "apparently"
[13:31] <MinSikCHO> can i ask sth...?
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  unless you are doing chainloading.. grub2 here on ubuntu was able to see all my ubuntu os's on barious hd's so i just picked one ubuntu to handl the grub needs.
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> !info dtach
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> xfgghjlsine:  never heard of it. I do recall some other alternatvies to screen also. but rarely use them
[13:32] <GeekMan> ruan i would asume it has something to do with my temperature control or somthing its not a big issue though
[13:33] <llutz> ashworth: grub writes an information into MBR where to find "boot.img", which is the 2nd stage of boot-process
[13:34] <ashworth> llutz: so how do i change where it finds boot.img when using grub-install?
[13:34] <llutz> ashworth: man grub-install          "--boot-directory=DIR"
[13:34] <GeekMan> llutz: i have had problems like this in the past does the new os wipe the mbr clean along with grub or does it stay there
[13:35] <ashworth> llutz: boot-directory is not even listed in help
[13:36] <llutz> GeekMan: depends on the OS and the defaults. some will just overwrite MBR, some ask where to put the bootloader...
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  are you getting grub1 and grub2 confused?
[13:36] <ashworth> apparently it's in bzr/trunk
[13:36] <ashworth> Dr_Willis: mm, i hope not :) i am using grub2
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  grub2 has the option. I use command similer to this one all the time --->>>   sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/InstalledSystemMointPoint  /dev/sda --recheck
[13:37] <GeekMan> llutz ok cool
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> that reinstalls grub on sda, from my installed system i have mounted.
[13:37] <llutz> ashworth: grub 1.99~rc1-3 (debian sid)   but boot-directory is an option used since grub1
[13:37] <ashworth> Dr_Willis: ah, root-directory!
[13:37] <ashworth> now that's there indeed
[13:38] <ashworth> grub-install (GRUB) 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3
[13:38] <ashworth> llutz: yes, 1.99 got that option it seems
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  root in this case is where to find the 'boot/grub' direcvtory' directory.  If you had grub on its own partition/boot partition. you would use that partition. not your / partition.
[13:38] <llutz> Dr_Willis: ashworth thats why they changed it into "boot-dir" with is more logic
[13:39] <Koong> Hello, I'm having problems removing KDE. I tried the instructions on http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome but some problems occured.
[13:39] <ashworth> awesome, guys, thanks for that infor
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> llutz:  i just pasted whats in my tomboy notes on 'how i reinstall grub' :) note.

[13:42] <fakingfantastic> why would the swap start getting used even when the main memory has ~12MB left?
[13:42] <Guest84073> Dr_Willis: I've done some research on the problem and it seems to be caused by missing compiler in most of the cases. I checked on if I have GCC intalled and it is installed.
[13:42] <Koong> this is the error that terminal gaved me Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  libaccess-bridge-java : Depends: default-jre but it is
[13:43] <DOokami> aeon-ltd: okay, how to run files ? like open a picture
[13:43] <aeon-ltd> fakingfantastic: swappinness level, it determines when to use your swap, also ram maxing out is not good, if it does that it bottlenecks and starts moving to disk (during this time your pc will probably frozen)

[13:44] <DOokami> aeon-ltd, i see ,, lsn can we IM ,, i'm like super new to this and i won't bother u much :)
[13:45] <aeon-ltd> DOokami: what?

[13:47] <Guest84073> But I have done the configure command before that erUSUL?
[13:47] <Guest84073> So ./configure should have done the drill.

[14:02] <Koong> Ok. I'll try that
[14:03] <fidyduce> is there a way for me to run the "dd" command without "sudo", whenever i use the prefix "sudo" the resulting file structure is RO for me when mounted as just a usb, or even when the usb has been booted i can not make any changes. all i need to do is add on more file to the usb after the iso is installed can someone help me please.....
[14:05] <etzerd> hello all
[14:05] <etzerd> ?
[14:06] <fidyduce> etzerd: i asked a really hard question and they all started leaving lol

[14:07] <Koong> leagris, I have did apt-get update && apt-get install -f && apt-get upgrade successfully. But still having the same error when trying to remove kde.
[14:08] <Koong> leagris, Or are there any other simpler ways of removing KDE?
[14:08] <etzerd> I just buy a Sony VAIO i7 with a 1024 Nvidia Gforce GT 425M. every time I install Ubuntu 10.10 the system crash after the instlllation. 1) the mouse doesn't work, as soon I install the update for the graphic and the wireless everything stop working. any idea?
[14:08] <leagris> Koong, apt-get remove libaccess-bridge-java or dpkg -r
[14:09] <leagris> Koong, the libaccess-bridge-java does not meet its dependencies
[14:09] <etzerd> fidyduce: I hope they don't do the same to me.
[14:09] <Koong> Ok
[14:09] <leagris> it may have been replaced by some new package tree so it won't met dependencies again
[14:09] <leagris> meet
[14:09] <fidyduce> etzerd: huh?
[14:10] <Koong> leagris, Removed it. Now, its starting the process of removing KDE. Thanks for your help.
[14:10] <etzerd> fidyduce: can you help me with that?
[14:10] <fidyduce> etzerd: whats up man?
[14:10] <fidyduce> etzerd: i did not see your question

[14:12] <bibic682> hello, just updated to 10.10.....but where is my sound icon in my panel? Can it be put back easy enough?
[14:12] <ugliefrog> i have a folder on another computer that i want to look at is there a ip address before foldr name so it can be acessed
[14:12] <etzerd> fidyduce: you don't have more issues than I do. brand new laptop and Ubuntu cannot install in it.
[14:12] <fidyduce> etzerd: well i have only installed ubuntu once this most recent time, are you using another machine right now?
[14:13] <etzerd> nope. this is the only machine that I have. for now I'm using windows7
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> etzerd:  'brand new' is often problmatic. You tried a 11.04 live cd yet?
[14:13] <fidyduce> etzerd: i am trying to add a 2Meg or smaller file to a 2GB usb that is "sudo" prefixed on the install so i basically never have the same level permission ever again and all i need is the file and i can go on about my day... sad cause usually i would just be happy with the working usb...

[14:14] <citrus5252342> SO MANY PEOPLE TALK ON HERE, NOBODY ANSWERS MY QUESTIONS
[14:14] <opensorcerer> Hi I'm having a problem with my MySQL-server installation
[14:14] <erUSUL> !patience | citrus5252342
[14:14] <LjL> citrus5252342: calm down. version 7.10 is not supported anymore, upgrade.
[14:14] <etzerd> no I did not tried the 11.04 yet
[14:14] <LjL> citrus5252342: and someone has also asked you a question that you didn't answer, as far as i can see.
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> etzerd:  ive often found teh most issues with 'brand new' laptops  - 4rember that  10.04  is like 6 months old in most things.
[14:15] <opensorcerer> Somehow my root password for MYSQL has been changed and now I;m unbale to change it back or reinstall MysQL
[14:15] <fidyduce> etzerd: dude that sounds like that is a good starting place
[14:15] <etzerd> wish you luck fidyduce
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> etzerd:  if 11.04 has the same issues. be SURE to file a bug report on 11.04 and hope it gets fixed.
[14:15] <fidyduce> etzerd: same to you brother
[14:16] <citrus5252342> intel 830m, biggest sony chipset, linux doesnt support it
[14:16] <etzerd> ok I will try the 11.04

[14:16] <fruitwerks-web> hey all - I just rebooted and now my nat isn't working, nothing has changed, tried different cables, check iptables... no luck
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> citrus5252342:  it would be more of an issue of 'intel supporting  that chipset for linux' Intel had some issues with making linux drivers for some of their chipsets available for linux.
[14:17] <IdleOne> bullgard: #freenx
[14:17] <erUSUL> bullgard: its own afaik; that is what it makes it ( so they say ) faster then native X ( over ssh or not ) and VNC
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  freenx was a lot faster then vnc.. if you could get freenx or the other ???nx's going.
[14:17] <opensorcerer> Somehow my root password for MYSQL has been changed and now I;m unbale to change it back or reinstall MysQL
[14:18] <opensorcerer> can someone help me reinstall mysql.
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> opensorcerer:  perhaps rembve with the purge option., and reinstall it..
[14:18] <bullgard> erUSUL: Ok. Thank you for explaing.
[14:18] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: you just need to change the password, hang on
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> opensorcerer:  or boot to rescue mode, and set a new password with the proper mysql commands.
[14:18] <jwhisnant> i recently updated some maverick packages, then I had an apci problem which I fixed with a reinstall, but I seem to be stuck at runlevel 2
[14:18] <erUSUL> opensorcerer: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
[14:18] <jwhisnant> how do I change the runlevel at next boot to be 5
[14:18] <opensorcerer> Dr_Willis, Is that the same as completely remove option when done in Synaptic?
[14:18] <erUSUL> !runlevels | jwhisnant
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> jwhisnant:  ubuntu dosent really use runlevels. - You mean to say X is not starting?
[14:19] <bullgard> Dr_Willis: Are you going to tell me that it is hard to set up FreeNX so that it will be operational?
[14:19] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: make sure mysql is stopped, then start it this way: sudo mysqld --skip-grant-tables &
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  i foubnd the wiki page confuseing and wrong in places.. i was able to get it going.. once...
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  that was about 5 mo ago. the docs may be better now.
[14:20] <fruitwerks-web> then do: mysql -u root mysql and then UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpass') WHERE User='root'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; exit;
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  now a days  i just ssh in and use x forwarding.
[14:20] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, I tried all that and sice it failed I tried removing mysql-server package completely by using the remove competely option(along with config files) from Synaptic..
[14:20] <bullgard> Dr_Willis: I found an Ubuntu help page that is relatively new-
[14:20] <erUSUL> opensorcerer: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/442
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  one issue i had was that there were like 2+ differnt 'free' nx variants ouit. so the docs sort of jumped around.
[14:20] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, Then I tried reinstalling it, then it all went fine untill the root password setting screen, where it gave me an error..
[14:21] <bullgard> Dr_Willis: I read that the option -XC is even more promising.
[14:21] <leagris> opensorcerer, or apt-get --purge remove mysql-server, will get ride of the server and its config files so a reinstall wil bring defaults
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  for X forwarding over ssh?
[14:21] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: try what I just said
[14:21] <jwhisnant> ok, when I start my computer after I did the most recent package upgrades, I get a login prompt; how do I fix it ?
[14:21] <Guest9931> fuck i'm stoned

[14:21] <bullgard> Dr_Willis: Yes.
[14:21] <IdleOne> !language | Guest9931
[14:21] <opensorcerer> leagris, Ok lemme try this command-line way now..
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> jwhisnant:  login and try 'startx' look for error messages.
[14:21] <Guest9931> i mean, dude i'm stoned
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> Teamviewer - IS a lot easier to get going.. but it sorrt of has differnt design goals. :)
[14:21] <Guest9931> sorry about the lanauge guys
[14:22] <bullgard> IdleOne: Good to know. --  Thank you.
[14:22] <Guest9931> anyone got a burger
[14:22] <IdleOne> Guest9931: This is #ubuntu not #stonerchat. take it somewhere else please
[14:22] <fidyduce> bullgard: lol!
[14:22] <Guest9931> i'm the only one in that channel
[14:22] <Guest9931> ok
[14:22] <opensorcerer> guys where can I post a screenshot to share in this channel.

[14:23] <fidyduce> is there a way for me to run the "dd" command without "sudo", whenever i use the prefix "sudo" the resulting file structure is RO for me when mounted as just a usb, or even when the usb has been booted i can not make any changes. all i need to do is add on more file to the usb after the iso is installed can someone help me please.....
[14:23] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: uhh imagebin, imagebam, tinypic
[14:23] <fruitwerks-web> fidyduce: is the usb mounted rw?
[14:24] <dohh3> Hey guys, trying to install ubuntu from backtrack4, but the cd drive doesn't work - can I use the iso to install from image?
[14:24] <fruitwerks-web> fidyduce: you can just su
[14:24] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: no, after the iso is installed it is mounted as RO
[14:24] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: ok how
[14:24] <fruitwerks-web> fidyduce: then remount it rw (if that is the real issue)
[14:24] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: baby steps with me lol
[14:24] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: yes that is the only issue
[14:24] <ugliefrog> i have xbmc installed...with addon mythbox.....i can see upcoming recordings program guide...but i cant see the recordings after they are done
[14:25] <fruitwerks-web> mount -o remount,rw /usbdrive/mountpoint
[14:25] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, erUSUL , This is the error that I got while trying to reinstall MySQL -http://imagebin.org/141295
[14:25] <opensorcerer> IdleOne, Thanks..
[14:25] <IdleOne> opensorcerer: welcome
[14:25] <mib_mib> hi guys, my ubuntu is running slow, and it seems that rtkit-daemon is using ~ 25% of CPU -- why would this be?
[14:25] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: follow my instructions from earlier
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> dohh3:  install from backtrack4 huh? Why not make a bootable flash drive and boot it to install ubuntu.
[14:26] <llutz> dohh3: use debootstrap, neither cd-rom nor usb needed
[14:27] <jwhisnant> startx - failed to load nvidia kernel driver, check log ... any suggestions, other than try to reinstall the driver, probably just kernel upgrade
[14:27] <bullgard> IdleOne: You dont mean irc://freenode/freenx ? It does not exist.
[14:27] <erUSUL> opensorcerer: click forward? then reset the password as esplained by fruitwerks-web or via the link i posted?
[14:27] <dohh3> llutz, ok, where is that on the cd image? under /boot?
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  not every one has tools that support irc type urls :)
[14:28] <llutz> dohh3: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html
[14:28] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: no dice
[14:28] <opensorcerer> erUSUL, The thing is that MySQL-server installation didn't complete, I had to do an Xkill to kill that window as in the screenshot. So not sure till what step the package got installed.
[14:29] <llutz> bullgard:  #NX
[14:29] <fruitwerks-web> fidyduce: what filesystem is on the usb?
[14:29] <IdleOne> llutz: that's it.
[14:29] <fruitwerks-web> nx rocks :)
[14:29] <opensorcerer> erUSUL, Should I try a sudo spt-get install mysql-server now?
[14:29] <opensorcerer> erUSUL, Sorry apt-get
[14:29] <erUSUL> why not?
[14:29] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: it is installed, just run those few commands
[14:30] <leagris> opensorcerer, if a package did not finish install you may apt-get install -f or dpkg-reconfigure package
[14:30] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, My installtion had to be killed in mid-way so not completed. What to do now.
[14:30] <opensorcerer> leagris, Ok I'll try that.
[14:31] <microboy> hi
[14:31] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: use the command line and install it apt, then try what I have been saying
[14:31] <fruitwerks-web> I think that last kernel update broke my nic
[14:32] <bullgard> llutz: Thank you very much for your help.
[14:32] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: crunchbang live iso is installed on it
[14:32] <fruitwerks-web> fidyduce: what are you trying to do exactly?
[14:34] <opensorcerer> leagris, fruitwerks-web I tried the sudo apt-get install -f it completed, but didn't ask me for a root password setup... This is the output-http://paste.ubuntu.com/575994/
[14:34] <opensorcerer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/575994/
[14:34] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: i want to install the iso to a usb, then move a 2Meg or so to the usb and then boot the usb on subsequent machines and access the file from terminal.... none of that has anything to do with the fact that other iso's install and you can still use the usb as a storage medium when it is not boot live.... so there is my issue after installing the iso to the usb i can not make any changes while either booted or mounted as storage...
[14:35] <Ububegin> I cant boot up my Ubuntu and have been getting this /*  status: {DRDY ERR} */.... I thot of using my LiveCD and running fsck to fix the harddisk..
[14:35] <dohh3> llutz, can I pm to make sure on the commands? They seem to be valid for earlier archives. Cheers :)
[14:35] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: great, now reset your password with the instrcutions we gave you 15 minutes ago
[14:35] <Jeruvy> !info camera
[14:35] <Ububegin> Or is there something else I coud do
[14:35] <microboy> IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN   -freedom
[14:36] <fruitwerks-web> Ububegin: that is a bad one, you might need a forensic recovery live cd to get past that
[14:36] <Ububegin> fruitwerks-web:  Oh where can i that..
[14:37] <Ububegin> get that , i mean
[14:37] <dmesg> hi , how to set libtorrent_cflags env variable
[14:37] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, Ok lemme check that..
[14:37] <fruitwerks-web> Ububegin: I have had the most luck (all around) with this one http://www.sysresccd.org/
[14:38] <dmesg>  how to set libtorrent_cflags env variable
[14:38] <Ububegin> fruitwerks-web: Hi, But i can still access my Linux partition via the LiveCD and can still duat boot into windows vista..
[14:39] <fruitwerks-web> Ububegin: you will need to disable scanning of that drive though - at boot, it will check all disks for a preferences / home dir - odd, well boot up that cd and use some of the tools on it to check the disk, I am surprised you can do anything on that drive getting that error
[14:41] <Ububegin> fruitwerks-web: kk, dude.. I will dl the systemCD and have a go... Btw, I need not have to worry about the data in the windows partition , right
[14:41] <Ububegin> fruitwerks-web: I mean shld I be backing it up
[14:42] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, leagris I tried to change the password of root, this is what happened-
[14:42] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, leagris http://paste.ubuntu.com/575996/
[14:42] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, It gives me an error t the Mysql prompt- mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('123456') WHERE User='root';
[14:42] <opensorcerer> ERROR 130 (HY000): Incorrect file format 'user'
[14:43] <fruitwerks-web> Ububegin: that cd will not modify any data unless you tell it to - I would dd-rescue the whole disk if possible
[14:44] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: stop mysql, cd /var/lib/mysql and rm -rf mysql, then start mysql and follow the instructions
[14:45] <fruitwerks-web> or copy that folder somewhere safe instead of removing it
[14:45] <fruitwerks-web> - rebooting to old kernel ... brb
[14:47] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, I'm unable to do a  cd /var/lib/mysql

[14:48] <yeats> opensorcerer: try putting 'sudo' before the command

[14:50] <yeats> opensorcerer: do 'sudo -i', then try the command (warning: this let's you become root)
[14:50] <dmesg> any one know

[14:51] <Guest65564> hey everyone. i'm a newbiu in ubuntu. i use linux mint. when the system goes to hibernate, it cannot be wake up. it will get black screen.
[14:52] <IceClaw> than never go to hibernate :D
[14:52] <yeats> opensorcerer: I'm not sure what the other person was suggesting... I just knew how to get around your permissions issue - maybe someone else will know
[14:52] <opensorcerer> yeats, Ok thanks.. The other person is now off.  :(
[14:52] <Meta> rg
[14:53] <BluesKaj> dmesg, yeah , use the default rtorrent in the repos , sometimes compiling from source has unexpected problems and the versions may not be fully developed
[14:54] <petn-randall> Hi, can anyone point me to the documentation of ureadahead? I'm trying to find out which kernel patches are needed on a vanilla kernel for it to work.
[14:54] <yeats> petn-randall: man ureadahead?
[14:56] <IdleOne> petn-randall: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1434502
[14:56] <petn-randall> yeats: that only covers the command line arguments to the daemon, not the kernel patch part
[14:57] <IdleOne> petn-randall: might try asking in #ubuntu-dev or maybe #ubuntu-server
[14:58] <petn-randall> IdleOne: Doesn't cover which kernel patches are needed, either :( but thanks
[14:58] <petn-randall> IdleOne: sounds like it's worth a shot asking there
[14:58] <petn-randall> IdleOne: thanks
[14:58] <dohh3> whats the current version alias?

[15:02] <Autoclesis> Ninja Newt!
[15:02] <Autoclesis> there are not a lot of common animal words starting with N
[15:03] <fruitwerks> ok so anyone have a solution to nfs server just dying and requiring a reboot to fix?
[15:03] <IdleOne> Just because nobody is talking in -offtopic does not mean it is ok to be offtopic in here
[15:03] <bazhang> DaGeek247, that does not mean this becomes the chat channel. keep it there
[15:03] <poor_guy> What is the snd-hda-intel model for VIA VT1708S ?
[15:03] <azizLIGHTS> i need to download urls from rss feeds, what should i use (command line) .... later i want to wget the urls and browse the pages offline
[15:03] <DaGeek247> darn it. ok.
[15:03] <poor_guy> need help!
[15:03] <fruitwerks> azizLIGHTS php / curl :)
[15:04] <azizLIGHTS> more detail please?
[15:04] <Phong_> hi guys, i have question, i want to execute a command  how can i do that?
[15:04] <Phong_> create bash or something
[15:04] <Phong_> example i wan to do this   'cp something '
[15:04] <ugliefrog> how to i access a folder on another pc on my network...I need to find out what to type in
[15:04] <Phong_> and want to have it as alias
[15:05] <Phong_> that way i dont have to really type long text
[15:05] <aeon-ltd> Phong_: create the alias in .bashrc
[15:05] <poor_guy> no one to help a poor guy like me?
[15:05] <Phong_> ok
[15:05] <Phong_> how can i get to bashrc ?
[15:05] <vsair> vi ~/.bashrc
[15:05] <poor_guy> Phong_: it's in you homne dir
[15:05] <poor_guy> nano ~/.bashrc
[15:06] <yeats> ugliefrog: is the other PC running Linux?
[15:06] <fruitwerks> azizLIGHTS - start here http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/how-to-read-an-rss-feed-with-php-screencast/ and this has nothing to do with ubuntu
[15:06] <Phong_> ok how to have alias?
[15:06] <Phong_> alias blalba= something?
[15:06] <vsair> alias xxx="xxx"
[15:06] <yeats> Phong_: there are examples in your .bashrc
[15:07] <azizLIGHTS> fruitwerks: whats the better channel to ask
[15:07] <azizLIGHTS> fruitwerks: thx
[15:07] <IdleOne> Phong_: alias copy="command goes here"
[15:07] <ugliefrog> yeats, yes..mythbuntu
[15:07] <fruitwerks> azizLIGHTS ##php
[15:07] <poor_guy> alias update='sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[15:07] <fruitwerks> azizLIGHTS you can also download the whole feed as a page with lynx / links via the command line
[15:07] <poor_guy> like that
[15:07] <sina> k
[15:08] <yeats> ugliefrog: do 'ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the Mythbuntu machine's IP address
[15:08] <azizLIGHTS> fruitwerks: lynx --dump? and then parse with sed/awk?
[15:08] <fruitwerks> azizLIGHTS yeah, that works too, but it will be cleaner in php
[15:09] <azizLIGHTS> fruitwerks: i see. thanks very much
[15:10] <poor_guy> bug<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[15:10] <yeats> ugliefrog: if you prefer GUI, you can do the same thing from Places -> Connect to server...
[15:10] <IdleOne> Phong_: after you add your aliases you will either need to restart the terminal app or do << source ~/.bashrc >>  for the aliases to work
[15:10] <Phong_> IdleOne, single or double quote?
[15:10] <IdleOne> single
[15:11] <Phong_> IdleOne, thanks got it works
[15:11] <IdleOne> welcome
[15:11] <Phong_> ok i have question
[15:11] <ugliefrog> yeats, ill try that to..Im trying to get to my mythbuntu recordins folder...Its a fight when you dont know the lingo..thanks for the point tho
[15:12] <Phong_> i want to have a script do multi task
[15:12] <Phong_> how can i do that?
[15:12] <Phong_> think as windows...i use .bat
[15:12] <Phong_> i want to have a list of task in command
[15:12] <oCean> Phong_: you can create bash script
[15:12] <Phong_> how
[15:12] <DaGeek247> *.sh
[15:12] <Phong_> example ?
[15:13] <Phong_> lol
[15:13] <oCean> Phong_: open new .sh file, enter all commands, save
[15:13] <Phong_> with ?
[15:13] <Phong_> pico ?
[15:13] <DaGeek247> gedit
[15:13] <oCean> Phong_: make it executable (chmod +x myscript.sh) and execute ./myscript.sh
[15:13] <Phong_> pico oh
[15:13] <yeats> ugliefrog: if you want a "permanent" connection between the two computers, you should investigate NFS
[15:13] <oCean> Phong_: whatever is your favorite editor. I use vi
[15:13] <yeats> !nfs | ugliefrog
[15:13] <IdleOne> pico, nano, gedit, use your preferred editor
[15:13] <Phong_> i see
[15:13] <Phong_> ok let me try
[15:14] <yeats> Phong_: nano is easier than vi for beginners (and is the default editor)
[15:14] <Phong_> ok after that, can i make alias myscrip ='path to .sh"
[15:14] <Phong_> right?
[15:14] <vsair> yeah
[15:14] <Phong_> oh okay thanks
[15:14] <yeats> Phong_: no spaces around the

[15:16] <amin> I need hostname.sh init script
[15:16] <oCean> amin: to do what
[15:16] <amin> any one provide me with that?
[15:17] <amin> oCean: what should it normally
[15:17] <amin> do
[15:17] <oCean> amin: you need the default upstart script?
[15:17] <amin>  yes
[15:18] <aadem> i just installed ubuntu on my girlfriends dads computer because he kept getting viruses surfing the web.  Every time ubuntu loads , even during the install, the screen flashes and scrambles at least once every 30 seconds.  Ive already installed the proprietary drivers that ubuntu found, this IS a display driver issue correct?
[15:18] <oCean> amin: I think you just should reinstall hostname, it's the package that creates those scripts
[15:18] <oCean> amin: /etc/init.d/hostname, /etc/init/hostname etc
[15:18] <maskoes> test
[15:19] <oCean> maskoes: we can see you
[15:19] <maskoes> thank you
[15:19] <ruan> aadem: looks like a driver issue
[15:20] <amin> oCean: host name is already install
[15:20] <oCean> amin: use --reinstall
[15:20] <ruan> aadem: could possibly be the monitor,does it scramble after 30 seconds in the bios?
[15:20] <aadem> well i have it dual booting with windows and windows / bios/ everything else no scramble whatsoever
[15:20] <aadem> not a one
[15:21] <ruan> aadem: ah ok
[15:21] <aadem> so i figured it was the generic video driver ubuntu loads with the kernel
[15:21] <aadem> but than the proprietary driver had no effect, so i may want to check the manufacturers web site i guess :) thanks for your help i appreciate it
[15:21] <DaGeek247> aadem its a bug
[15:21] <amin> oCean: but /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start
[15:21] <amin> -bash: /etc/init.d/hostname.sh: No such file or directory
[15:21] <aadem> DaGeek your farmiliar with this?
[15:21] <DaGeek247> aadem i got something like it before
[15:21] <oCean> amin: correct, it is 'hostname' not .sh
[15:22] <aadem> ohhhh okay did you become acustomed to it, or did you find a way to fix it hehe
[15:22] <poor_guy> E: Unable to locate package linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.35-27-generic
[15:22] <DaGeek247> aadem i dont know how to program drivers, so my solution was getting a cheap $5 replacement. :/
[15:22] <poor_guy> E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.35-27-generic'
[15:23] <oCean> poor_guy: what version are you using (ubuntu)?
[15:23] <poor_guy> maverick
[15:23] <aadem> hah good thinkin :D   some part of me was hoping there was something i could do in xorg.conf to fix it lol.  sounds like the problems in the actual driver source itself :)  ive got my answers owe you one
[15:23] <gluon> how can I disable hibernate and suspend?
[15:23] <poor_guy> this makes me frustrated
[15:23] <poor_guy> bad hardware support
[15:24] <aadem> system pref power management for me gluon
[15:24] <DaGeek247> aadem if you have an old graphics card hanging around put itin and see if it fixes the problem
[15:24] <poor_guy> oh wait
[15:25] <oCean> poor_guy: maybe the linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-27-generic ?
[15:25] <gluon> aadem: I mean how to disable the options from the shutdown menu
[15:25] <ruan> poor_guy: linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic
[15:25] <gluon> so that a user can't hibernate
[15:25] <poor_guy> oCean: i didnt update the repositories :P
[15:25] <poor_guy> installing.
[15:25] <aadem> oohh sorry gluon that would take some research
[15:25] <gluon> np
[15:26] <gluon> I'll do it myself

[15:28] <keith27> does anybody know why there would be activity on my vboxne network adapter when i am not running virtual box ?
[15:28] <Jasonn> keith27: messed up stats?
[15:28] <Jasonn> keith27: could also be because you didnt turn off your vb

[15:29] <Jasonn> keith27: Lets just say that Ubuntu's network controls/interface/calculations arent always the best
[15:29] <petn-randall> keith27: How are you measuring activity? You running wireshark on it?
[15:29] <BostX> and after that: "TLS Auth Error: could not write username/password to file: openvpn_up_de081fa40736957e5630b2fe63e18c27.tmp"

[15:30] <keith27> petn-randall: firestarter
[15:30] <Jasonn> BostX: try sudo -i and then your command
[15:30] <Jasonn> BostX: not all together**
[15:30] <BostX> Jasonn, well yea... but the file was created by /etc/init.d/openvpn
[15:30] <bibic682> HELP!!    upgraded to 10.10 and I have no sound in java online
[15:30] <Jasonn> BostX: run the command sudo -i
[15:31] <Jasonn> bibic682: try reinstalling java
[15:31] <BostX> Jasonn, I do "sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start", u mean the '-i' is missing... ? i'll try it
[15:31] <azizLIGHTS> fruitwerks: ubuntu package: rsstail is good
[15:31] <poor_guy> Who hates bugs?
[15:31] <Jasonn> BostX: no, sudo -i is a separate command, try that
[15:31] <ruan> poor_guy: who doesn't?
[15:31] <azizLIGHTS> fruitwerks: its like tail but for rss
[15:31] <poor_guy> ruan: programmers?
[15:31] <DaGeek247> poor_guy, me! they bite so hard!
[15:31] <bibic682> Jasonn: I tried that a few times and even tried different versions
[15:31] <ruan> poor_guy: why wouldn't programmers hate bugs?
[15:31] <Jasonn> BostX: sudo -i makes you the root user in all commands you type, and THEN in a new line, type the command you want
[15:32] <poor_guy> ruan: gives them a job too
[15:32] <poor_guy> brb
[15:32] <ruan> poor_guy: lol
[15:32] <Jasonn> bibic682: try also removing the program files
[15:32] <DaGeek247> and they make me SO itchy!
[15:32] <bibic682> ok will try
[15:33] <BostX> Jasonn, hmm.. no success... the same error as before
[15:33] <BostX> :(
[15:33] <Jasonn> BostX: can you look for the file and see if its "read only"?
[15:33] <xfgghjlsine> Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from GroupManager.jar Can some one explain what is wrong here
[15:34] <Jasonn> BostX: with "gksudo nautilus"
[15:35] <BostX> Jasonn, hmmm... I cannot find the file...
[15:35] <BostX> Jasonn, do u know where it might be?
[15:36] <BostX> Jasonn, i tried /tmp/, /var/log/ but its not there
[15:36] <Jasonn> BostX: First, type this into your terminal: gksudo nautilus
[15:37] <mr-rich> any good work around for the no /dev/mixer errors yet?
[15:37] <Jasonn> BostX: BostX It will open up a file manager with root privelages
[15:37] <Jasonn> BostX: THEN what you have to do is go to: /etc/init.d/openvpn
[15:38] <cylent> What would be considered 'one step down' from Gnome and KDE but not fvwm, blackbox, or even just term, as a WM?

[15:39] <cylent> keith27, need permissions and I dunno why.. I had to sudo wireshark
[15:40] <sur07> buenos dias
[15:40] <azizLIGHTS> edbian: thats easy for you, i am on ssh and lag 5+ seconds. if i hit one too many times del key or backspace key. i will have deleted everything and have to typ e all over again
[15:40] <bibic682> Jasson:  I am trying thru synaptic to remove the open jre and it won't mark for removal....script for removing that?
[15:40] <edbian> azizLIGHTS, count ?
[15:40] <azizLIGHTS> not useful
[15:40] <azizLIGHTS> thanks edbian
[15:40] <edbian> azizLIGHTS, Where are you connecting to that you have so much lag?
[15:40] <azizLIGHTS> this is not the issue
[15:41] <alsuna> bibic682: in a terminal: sudo apt-get remove <package name>
[15:41] <BostX> Jasonn, it must be somewhere in tmp_dir
[15:41] <bibic682> ok
[15:41] <keith27> cylent its working as root thanks
[15:41] <Jasonn> BostX: if you are trying to run file "/etc/init.d/openvpn" then that is where it is
[15:42] <AcePreshaw> how can i get the network icon back on my panel im on 10.04 LTS
[15:42] <wwssass> .
[15:42] <cylent> keith27, just be careful =)
[15:42] <n1cky> anyone installed VDR with skystar?
[15:43] <chombee> Can I run memtest from an installed Ubuntu, or do I need a LiveCD/USB? There doesn't seem to be a way to get the grub menu on boot
[15:43] <keith27> cylent what should i be aware of in trying to be careful?
[15:43] <AcePreshaw> !me
[15:43] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: rightclck on the panel -> add to panel, then find the network manager in the list
[15:43] <Jasonn> chombee: You can do it from GRUB
[15:43] <cylent> keith27, ... that you are 'root' ;)
[15:43] <Dr_Willis> chombee:  if its hidden (on a single os system thats the default) hold/tap the shift key at the right time.. or edit the grub configs to make it never hide.
[15:43] <chombee> Jasonn: How to get into grub?
[15:43] <keith27> is there anything i should avoid doing
[15:43] <AcePreshaw> opps
[15:43] <chombee> shift key
[15:43] <Dr_Willis> I hate how it auto-hides  by default.
[15:43] <chombee> ok, rebooting
[15:44] <AcePreshaw> alsuna i cant see it
[15:44] <Jasonn> chombee: no idea, you have to do it in the boot process, but im not sue what key you press
[15:44] <cylent> keith27, nothing come to mind, no.. just exercise caution
[15:45] <AcePreshaw> alsuna i cant see it
[15:45] <cylent> wireshark FAQ spoke of not being able to access , I guess any packet sniffer, if not root or privileged.
[15:45] <Jasonn> !grub | chombee
[15:45] <AcePreshaw> ?
[15:45] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: if the notification applet in your panel?
[15:45] <justfortoday_> has anyone noticed anything about the bin ary pay loads in met a sploit not being picked u p by A v G free edition?
[15:46] <AcePreshaw> yea
[15:46] <keith27> how come i get an icmp destination unreachable (port unreachable) like every second on my lo interface ?
[15:46] <AcePreshaw> it is
[15:46] <AcePreshaw> i cant see it
[15:46] <justfortoday_> I just tested with standard settings and named it notes.exe and it wasn't picked uo even in the startup folder after reboot, it never has done this in the past
[15:46] <AcePreshaw> yea is not comeing up
[15:47] <Jasonn> keith27: does the port exist and is open?
[15:47] <AcePreshaw> alsuna is not there
[15:47] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: lets find out if the network manager applet is running. what does "ps -A | grep nm-applet" give?
[15:47] <keith27> jasonn the port is closed but what could be creating the failed attempts in the first place ?
[15:48] <Jasonn> how do i get a static IP addr configd on my net adapter in xubuntu?
[15:48] <Jasonn> keith27: if the port is closed, then you cant ping it... because it doesnt exist
[15:48] <AcePreshaw> root@ace-laptop:/home/ace# ps -A | grep nm-applet
[15:48] <AcePreshaw>  1494 ?        00:00:00 nm-applet
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> Jasonn:  the network manager tool should have settings to allow that.
[15:49] <justfortoday_> Jasonn: edit /etc/network/interfaces
[15:49] <AcePreshaw> there i did it in the Root alsina
[15:49] <Jasonn> Dr_Willis: I cant get to the network manager tool though...
[15:49] <keith27> jasonn im not trying to ping it or anything i'm trying to figure out what is running
[15:49] <AcePreshaw> alsuna
[15:49] <AcePreshaw> sry
[15:49] <Jasonn> keith27: sudo -i && top
[15:49] <edbian> keith27, If something was running you could ping it
[15:49] <Jasonn> keith27: run that command
[15:50] <deface> htop
[15:50] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: ok, so the applet is running, and you are sure the applet called "notification applet" is in your panel? (not exactly sure about the name, I'm not on an english machine here)
[15:50] <keith27> jasonn what does that do
[15:50] <sacarlson> Jasonn: other option is this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html
[15:50] <AcePreshaw> yea is up
[15:50] <Jasonn> keith27: it tells you all the processes that are taking up memory
[15:51] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: is there anything in it?
[15:51] <Jasonn> sacarlson: im running xubuntu, the network tab isnt there for me in the top bar
[15:51] <AcePreshaw> sond bat and msgs
[15:51] <AcePreshaw> im on it as we chat
[15:52] <Diverdude> if i type ss on my machine and see an unknown ip where it says <IP_ADDRESS>:ssh for local address and port, does it mean somebody tried to log in via ssh to my server?
[15:52] <Diverdude> i tried looking up the remote ip...its some adress from chile
[15:52] <sacarlson> Jasonn: that link has nothing to do with your tabs it requires modifing /etc/network/interfaces files and other
[15:52] <MagicJ> I have a ralink RT2800 wifi dongle.  to some extent it is sort of working in that when I plug it in the network manager starts showing the possibility of wifi connections and iwconfig sees it.  But the network connections fo not include a list and I can not connect out - what step do I need>  (10l.4)
[15:53] <Jasonn> sacarlson: thank you :)
[15:53] <iocor> I need a way to fully backup my system that preserves as much space as possible
[15:53] <AcePreshaw> alsuna is not there
[15:53] <iocor> does anyone have any ideas?
[15:53] <Jasonn> MagicJ: Drivers
[15:54] <AcePreshaw> i can see all the icons at the top
[15:54] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: kk I don
[15:54] <MagicJ> what do u mean Jasonn?
[15:54] <AcePreshaw> ?
[15:54] <edbian> iocor, backup is a little more manual I've found in Linux.  Try searching there are some great backup apps in the repos
[15:54] <Jasonn> MagicJ: are the drivers installed?
[15:55] <AcePreshaw> alsuna sry cna u help me or not
[15:55] <MagicJ> Jasonn:  I guess that is th question, and the answer is probably no, what do I need to do to find out/install then
[15:55] <dtrf4837> in Other Software, should i have everything clicked?
[15:55] <Jasonn> !wifi | MagicJ
[15:55] <sacarlson> MagicJ: are the networks you want to connect to encrypted?  if so try wicd or any method that uses wpa_supplicant like wpagui
[15:55] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: kk I don't have any more ideas... last thing i can think of: you could try stopping the nm-applet and remove the notification aplet from the panel and then reverse again.
[15:55] <AcePreshaw> ok
[15:56] <AcePreshaw> is work now is the icon i want back
[15:56] <MagicJ> Jasonn:  When I use other dongles all works well, so if anything it must be specific to this set of chips - so how do I fibd what drivers I need
[15:56] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: good
[15:57] <Jasonn> MagicJ: do you know the model number?
[15:57] <AcePreshaw> yea now the icon
[15:57] <MagicJ> Jasonn: not really, dmesg shows that it sees it etc but does not give me a model # as such
[15:57] <sacarlson> MagicJ: the wpa_suplicant driver works with most devices
[15:58] <Algabe> alguien tiene la configuracion de noip2.conf?
[15:58] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: i don't understand
[15:58] <MagicJ> sacrlson:  what is that and where/how do I find it
[15:58] <Jasonn> !es | algabe
[15:58] <MagicJ> sacarlson: what is that and how do I use/find it
[15:59] <sacarlson> MagicJ: it is used in the wicd and wpagui packages   sudo apt-get install wicd
[15:59] <AcePreshaw> !caps
[15:59] <MagicJ> sacarlson: will install that brb
[15:59] <zth> i would like to see what device that is mounted to /media/PHONE CARD, how can i find that? i mean what device in /dev/
[15:59] <sacarlson> MagicJ: but you didn't tell me if you are encrypted so I'm not sure it will help you
[15:59] <AcePreshaw> YEA mee too
[15:59] <zth> i wanna make an image of my phonecard
[15:59] <BluesKaj> MagicJ, I have the ralink 2870 USB wifi adapter (Belkin) and it runs fine on wicd . you might want to consider it.
[15:59] <Develman> hi all, pcmanfm does not start anymore as user. there is no logging when i start it from console. if i start it as root it comes up with an error: no permission
[16:00] <Develman>  what can i do? i have already reinstalled it but with no effect
[16:00] <Jasonn> !fishing | AcePreshaw
[16:00] <MagicJ> sacarlson: as I say it does not even show me the list of networks - there are wpa and open ones here - as shown by other dongles
[16:00] <SnowmanX11> Does anybody have an MSI GX720? Could you make surround sound on it?
[16:00] <BluesKaj> !wicd | MagicJ
[16:01] <aeon-ltd> is ubottu down or something?
[16:01] <anon> Hi. I'm looking for a file-tagging solution (standalone software, nautilus add-on, anything) that allows me to tag files and subsequently search using these tags. Anyone knows if such a thing exists please?
[16:01] <AcePreshaw> ye
[16:01] <AcePreshaw> a
[16:01] <BluesKaj> !info wicd
[16:01] <MagicJ> BluesKaj: what do u mean?  I am installing it npw
[16:01] <BluesKaj> ok, MagicJ , I wasn't sure
[16:01] <snimavat> I just updated my new installation of ubuntu server
[16:02] <snimavat> and now cant login to ssh
[16:02] <snimavat> connection refused
[16:02] <RobbiePreshaw11> !help
[16:02] <snimavat> did it change the port?
[16:02] <MagicJ> BluesKaj: sacarlson:  I did the install and it tried to start wicd and gave me a 'fail'
[16:02] <Jasonn> !enter | snimavat
[16:02] <sacarlson> MagicJ: oh if you don't already see networks then maybe your problem is rfkill
[16:02] <snimavat> Whts the default ssh port for ubuntu server
[16:02] <edbian> snimavat, 22
[16:02] <Jasonn> snimavat: its port 22
[16:02] <snimavat> connection refused
[16:02] <deface> snimavat, its set to listen on localhost only by default
[16:02] <MagicJ> sacarlson: what is rfkill
[16:02] <snimavat> what
[16:02] <zth> how can i look up what /dev-device that's mounted to a specific folder?
[16:02] <BluesKaj> MagicJ, did you set up the paramters in the wicd gui?
[16:02] <snimavat> How can i change it
[16:02] <sacarlson> MagicJ: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/rfkill.1.html
[16:03] <Jasonn> snimavat: then what did you set on configuration?
[16:03] <snimavat> I cant login using ssh now
[16:03] <Jasonn> snimavat: did you install openSSH on your server?>
[16:03] <MagicJ> BluesKaj: I just did the sudo apt-get install - it asked me ONLY, which users to add to the group and I did do that
[16:03] <sacarlson> MagicJ: rfkill will enable and disable your wifi device and tell you if it is enabled
[16:03] <deface> snimavat, #ListenAddress <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:03] <deface> snimavat, can you ssh localhost  ?
[16:03] <snimavat> i was logged in using ssh, i did apt-get upgrade, thn loged out and now when i try to login, connection refused on port 22
[16:04] <snimavat> No, its a VPS
[16:04] <edbian> snimavat, Can you ping the machine?  Can you physically walk up to the machine?
[16:04] <snimavat> I can ping, i cant walk to machine, its a vps
[16:05] <deface> snimavat, use the control panel from your hosting company to reboot it
[16:05] <snimavat> edbian: ?
[16:05] <Jasonn> snimavat: tell the provider/host of the VPS to reconfigure SSH for you then
[16:05] <snimavat> reboot would solve the issue ?
[16:05] <edbian> snimavat, a reboot might.  But how are you gonna reboot without logging in?
[16:06] <deface> edbian, its hosted elsewhere, he should have a control panel
[16:06] <Jasonn> edbian: with the hoting company's CP
[16:06] <llutz> snimavat: don't you have a recovery-console/rescue-system available?
[16:06] <edbian> snimavat, My next instruction would be to go to the machine and log in normally.  Check that ssh is running, check the config file, try to log in from that machine into itself.
[16:06] <MagicJ> sacarlson: rfkill lists one device and says that it is unblocked
[16:06] <snimavat> I can login to solusvm
[16:06] <deface> edbian, its a colo, go google 'vps'
[16:06] <edbian> deface, snimavat my mistake.  Try to reboot it
[16:07] <sacarlson> MagicJ: well with that and you still don't see AP's then maybe it's the lower driver to the device
[16:07] <anon2847> Hi. I'm looking for a file-tagging solution (standalone software, nautilus add-on, anything) that allows me to tag files and subsequently search using these tags. Anyone knows if such a thing exists please?
[16:07] <snimavat> lemme reboot
[16:07] <MagicJ> sacarlson: that makes sense - so how do I find out what and get it
[16:08] <dubin> hello
[16:08] <Jasonn> anon2847: Please dont double paste, we are volunteers, we help you if we can, otherwise, we dont know the answer
[16:08] <waxrose> Hello.
[16:08] <dubin> where are you ?
[16:08] <BluesKaj> MagicJ,  what about wep or wpa encyption and passwords in the wicd gui dialog?
[16:08] <anon2847> Jasonn, sorry I saw Chanserv kicking me, I thought my msg didn't deliver
[16:08] <sacarlson> MagicJ: I have ralink devices and they work fine out of the box but you can google your sudo lshw of the device and see what comes of it
[16:08] <Jasonn> anon2847: nah, no problem at all, just a friendly reminder :)
[16:08] <MagicJ> sacarlson: dmesg telss me that there is a registered device rt2800usb-phy1:
[16:09] <dubin> who are you ??
[16:09] <dubin> And where are you from ?
[16:09] <Jasonn> !ot | dubin
[16:09] <MagicJ> BluesKaj: remember I am not getting as far as seeing a list of networks
[16:10] <friendishan> http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Communications/Chat/Y-IM-9-smileys-for-Pidgin-39684.shtml - I need help in installing this
[16:10] <sacarlson> MagicJ: well my ralink uses rt73 I've never seen that driver in use.  many times it may require black list drivers until the one that works is found
[16:10] <Jasonn> friendishan: What part are you at?
[16:11] <friendishan> trying to run install.sh
[16:11] <friendishan> Jasonn: trying to run install.sh
[16:11] <BluesKaj> sacarlson, I still think he needs to configure the driver settings ..telling us what it doesn't do isn't helping
[16:11] <MagicJ> sacarlson: lshw shows it to be there - mac address etc - nt much more info though - what am I looking for
[16:11] <Jasonn> friendishan: did you already cd the folder?
[16:11] <Jasonn> friendishan: cd into the folder**
[16:12] <friendishan> Jasonn: I'm a newbie, don't know much, what do i need to do?
[16:12] <sacarlson> MagicJ: I see others have had problems with that device http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5835
[16:12] <hylian> i was wondering how to start a console app, like nano from gnome, for instance alt-f2, or in the menu.
[16:12] <Jasonn> friendishan: did you already untar the file??
[16:13] <friendishan> Yep
[16:13] <friendishan> Jasonn: Yep
[16:13] <Jasonn> friendishan: do: cd FILELOCATIONHERE
[16:13] <dtrf4837> when you access xorg.conf, is it supposed to be empty?
[16:14] <friendishan> Jasonn: file location path to install.sh?
[16:14] <ruan> dtrf4837: mine isn't empty
[16:14] <MagicJ> sacarlson: not sure what that page gives me - I do not have errors in the dmesg file - it looks like it works
[16:14] <Jasonn> friendishan: file location to the folder containing install.sh | Basically where you untarred the file
[16:14] <waxrose> hylian, Some thing like this ? http://do.davebsd.com/
[16:14] <sacarlson> MagicJ: I haven't found a solution only more people trying things here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9939138
[16:15] <hylian> how do i set up an app that normally is console only, i.e. nano, in a gui environment like gnome? (in stead of opening gnome-terminal, and then the app)
[16:15] <dtrf4837> ruan is it supposed to be empty after you just installed ubuntu?
[16:15] <hylian> waxrose, i will check that out, thanx
[16:15] <ruan> dtrf4837: not sure
[16:15] <waxrose> hylian, It allows you to quickly launch applications and no problem.
[16:15] <hylian> waxrose, no. i want to make a menu link to programs like nano, mocp, etc.
[16:16] <waxrose> oh
[16:16] <friendishan> Jasson: friendishan@craptast:~$ sudo cd /home/friendishan/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall/install.sh

[16:16] <FloodBot2> friendishan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:16] <friendishan> err.. forgot to use paste
[16:16] <hylian> waxrose, what has to happen is that first something like gnome-terminal runs, and then it runs the console only app, like nano. i know it can be done, but i have been unsuccessfull using google to find it.
[16:16] <ruan> sudo cd?
[16:16] <llutz> friendishan: no sudo, no cd and for sure no "sudo cd". just" /home/friendishan/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall/install.sh"
[16:16] <Guest67322> SEXO
[16:17] <Jasonn> friendishan: why are you using sudo? Just do Cd, and dont include the install.sh in the file name
[16:17] <dtrf4837> ruan when i see instructions on xorg.conf there's always text in there but mine is always empty so i was just wondering
[16:17] <waxrose> hylian, Oh so you just want it to auto run when you open it up?
[16:17] <sacarlson> MagicJ: sounds like many had success with http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/ralink-chipset-works-in-ubuntu-jaunty-not-karmic-beta-761949/  blacklist rt2800usb blacklist rt2870sta
[16:17] <llutz> friendishan: if its not executable, "bash /home/friendishan/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall/install.sh"
[16:17] <Jasonn> friendishan: first do: cd ymsmiley
[16:18] <Jasonn> friendishan: then do: cd smileythemeinstall
[16:18] <sacarlson> MagicJ: if that fails you should try rotate between them to find what will work for you
[16:18] <Jasonn> then do ./install.sh

[16:18] <hylian> waxrose, no, i can do that. i want to make a button for those programs, so it saves a step. it can be done. and no, not at startup, anytime. i just cant figure the bugger out. :)
[16:19] <Untouchab1e> followed by an infinite number of "stdin: error 0"
[16:19] <Untouchab1e> messages
[16:19] <Untouchab1e> any ideas?
[16:19] <friendishan> Jasson: I need to just do cd ymsmiley    or there's a path?
[16:19] <waxrose> hylian, Like a desktop button?
[16:19] <Jasonn> Untouchab1e: any reason you want the 64 bit?
[16:19] <MagicJ> sacarlson: anyway to cause that blacklist to be read without re-booting?
[16:19] <Untouchab1e> Jasonn: yeah? more than 4GB of RAM
[16:20] <Jasonn> friendishan: you are already auto-placed in: /home/USERNAME
[16:20] <Jasonn> friendishan: so now you just type cd ymsmiley
[16:20] <Jasonn> Untouchab1e: try the laternate CD
[16:20] <Jasonn> Untouchab1e: ALTERNATE*
[16:20] <hylian> waxrose, by george i think i found it! "gnome-terminal -e 'killall conky'"
[16:20] <Untouchab1e> Jasonn: yeah, downloading it now
[16:20] <Jasonn> Untouchab1e: that would honestly be your best bet
[16:21] <waxrose> hylian, Yeah, I figured you just wanted a desktop launcher which you could easily just put in a command and it'll launch it via terminal.
[16:21] <Untouchab1e> Jasonn: thanks, ill give it a go
[16:21] <hylian> waxrose, actually, my intent is to make using the console easier by making some apps available in the gnome menu. i am trying to make console shock less prevolent for a certain family member.
[16:21] <MagicJ> I haved edited the moidprobe blacklist - any way to cause it to be read without a re-boot
[16:21] <friendishan> Jasson: friendishan@craptast:~/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall$ ./install.sh (Enter) friendishan@craptast:~/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall$
[16:21] <sacarlson> MagicJ: you can try rmmod ldmod modprobe http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-doc/2004-June/000599.html
[16:22] <waxrose> hylian, Well like I said you could just make desktop launchers that runs those commands.
[16:22] <Jasonn> friendishan: ok, now type ./install.sh
[16:22] <dtrf4837> i need to edit xorg.conf. the website i'm looking at has text in the xorg.conf. since mine is empty, should i just copy it and paste it in my xorg.conf?
[16:22] <Jasonn> !pastebin | friendishan
[16:22] <xrdodrx> how do I make the volume bar make a noise when scrolling the slider back in forth like in Windows? I can't judge how loud sound will be
[16:23] <hylian> waxrose, true, but i like my desktop to be an empty wasteland.  anyways, this command does the trick: gnome-terminal -e 'app name', i.e. gnome-terminal -e 'nano'
[16:23] <friendishan> http://paste.ubuntu.com/576027/ Jasson
[16:23] <ruan> Untouchab1e: remember to verify the integrity of the iso before burning it.
[16:23] <dtrf4837> i'm doing this to add openchrome drivers
[16:24] <Untouchab1e> Jasonn: yeah
[16:24] <Jasonn> friendishan: are you sure that install.sh is in that folder?
[16:24] <waxrose> hylian, Check out commandlinefu.com as well. They have a lot of nifty tricks that you may be able to implement.
[16:24] <waxrose> http://commandlinefu.com *
[16:24] <friendishan> Jasonn: I believe it got executed as the folder smileytheme existed before
[16:24] <hylian> waxrose, thanks for the tip
[16:25] <Untouchab1e> ruan: where can I find the MD5 value to compare it to?
[16:25] <friendishan> Jasson: I used install.sh twice and the second time it gave error
[16:25] <meelu> i want to install freenx on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) x64, i had problems before when connecting on my last setup, is there anything i should know about the compatibility and a setup guide for this version because i googled and saw many users run into the same problem with this version but i couldn't find an answer
[16:25] <ruan> !md5
[16:25] <meelu> *?
[16:25] <Untouchab1e> thanks
[16:26] <waxrose> meelu,  Did you refer to this ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[16:26] <friendishan> Jasson: Thanks it works :)
[16:26] <Jasonn> friendishan: no problem :)
[16:28] <meelu> yes waxrose
[16:29] <snimavat> Guyz.. i just reloaded OS
[16:29] <snimavat> And not it works
[16:29] <snimavat> I created a new user and when i login with the new user, i dont see any colors or, prompt starts with $
[16:30] <Jasonn> !enter | snimavat
[16:30] <snimavat> though i have .bashrc but it doesnt seem to have been executed
[16:30] <Jasonn> snimavat: try reinstalling
[16:30] <llutz> snimavat: " echo $SHELL" says what?
[16:31] <snimavat> aah, sh
[16:31] <waxrose> meelu, Maybe I should have fully read you question. I havn't heard of any compatibility issues. Did you try #nx ?
[16:31] <snimavat> how do i change it
[16:31] <waxrose> your*
[16:31] <llutz> snimavat: usermod
[16:31] <meelu> IL try now
[16:31] <meelu> thanks
[16:31] <waxrose> meelu, No problem. :)
[16:31] <snimavat> gr8, let me do some googling on it now, thanks a lot
[16:31] <dtrf4837> i just edited 'File: /var/tmp/xorg.conf.XXlf1v8f' and now i need to save it. how do i save it?
[16:32] <waxrose> dtrf4837, What are you using to save it?
[16:32] <llutz> snimavat: usermod -s /bin/bash user
[16:32] <Haegin> hi, would the retarded behaviour of rubygems installing to /var/lib/gems (which requires root) and then making the installed apps which are symlinked in /usr/bin only readable by the owner (which is, of course, root) be considered a bug?
[16:32] <dtrf4837> waxrose i opened xorg.conf in terminal
[16:32] <snimavat> gr8
[16:32] <waxrose> dtrf4837, vim?
[16:32] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  opened it with?
[16:32] <llutz> snimavat: or "man chsh"
[16:33] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  why  are you editng /var/tmp/xorg.conf/XXxxxxxx  anyway?
[16:33] <dtrf4837> i opened it with terminal
[16:33] <Untouchab1e> Jasonn: the alternate CD install says "your installation cd-rom coulndt be mounted. This probably means that the cd-rom was not in the drive. if so you can insert it and try again.
[16:33] <ramji> hello I've got some visibility issues on google earth
[16:33] <waxrose> dtrf4837, If it was vim then you can type.... ":w" to save the file.
[16:33] <snimavat> worked, not it shows me sudhir@domain:~$
[16:34] <dtrf4837> Dr_Willis because i need to add openchrome drivers. my monitor isnt detected
[16:34] <waxrose> dtrf4837, Wait, I mean hit the "esc" key first then type ":w"
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  you use the terminal to run programs.. such as 'editorname /path/to/file/to/edit.txt'
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  you want to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf i imagine. but it may be making a tmp file.
[16:34] <snimavat> but still when in home directory and i do ls -l  I get total 0, but when i do nano ~/.bashrc the file exists
[16:34] <llutz> snimavat: ls -la
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> snimavat:  ls -al = shows hidden .files
[16:35] <Jasonn> Untouchab1e: no idea mate, best to ask someone else about this particular issue, i thought the laternate CD might fix it
[16:35] <waxrose> dtrf4837, It would be helpful if you told us which editor you opened it in though.
[16:35] <dtrf4837> i'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome which was suggested to me
[16:35] <snimavat> :) thanks a lot
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf   or similer...
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  so which editor did you use? vi? nano? pico? gedit?
[16:36] <tom___> 4
[16:36] <waxrose> dtrf4837, That is using nano. Use ctrl + x to save.
[16:36] <dtrf4837> waxrose sorry i didnt understand. ok it says 'GNU nano 2.2.4' on top
[16:37] <waxrose> dtrf4837, It will then prompt you to save which should be a "y" for yes.
[16:37] <Wespe> I have some questions.
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  notice at the bootom it mentions ^h and ^x  - the ^ = the ctrl key.
[16:37] <Wespe> I'd like to use this machine for tor, so my computers at school can bypass the University's firewall.
[16:39] <waxrose> dtrf4837, Next time you edit a file, instead of using sudoedit, you can use some thing such as "sudo gedit" which will open the file in a more use friendly editor.
[16:39] <dtrf4837> Dr_Willis oh ok...but i dont see ^h there
[16:39] <waxrose> user friendly*
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  You understand how it works now.. so read whats there and do what you n eed to do> :)
[16:39] <Ububegin> d
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  if you did not start it with 'sudo' you may need to save the file to your home. then copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:40] <dtrf4837> ok thanks...i was trying to follow what the webpage said to do
[16:40] <waxrose> dtrf4837, If you want to save that file and exit then press ---->>  ctrl then x ...... "y" for yes to confirm.... and then enter.
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  they assume you know the basics i guess. :)
[16:42] <waxrose> Wespe, Why do you want to bypass the firewall?
[16:42] <dtrf4837> hey if i am in terminal and i access xorg.conf from there by typing the command for that, does that mean i am still in that terminal or did i leave the terminal and enter xorg.conf?
[16:43] <edbian> dtrf4837, You are using the terminal to run a program that views xorg.conf
[16:43] <dtrf4837> edbian i see
[16:43] <edbian> dtrf4837, the terminal is not a place (location) it is an app.  Like firefox or irc
[16:43] <edbian> dtrf4837, yep
[16:43] <stefwal> QUESTION: where is my trashbin? I want it on my desktop
[16:43] <mongy> anyone know what file in lxde/lubuntu is equivalent to the /etc/gdm/custom.conf ?
[16:44] <dtrf4837> ohh
[16:44] <ruan> is it possible to run more than one process at once with terminal?
[16:44] <psion> yeah
[16:44] <ruan> how?
[16:44] <edbian> ruan, yes, put a & after the command
[16:44] <waxrose> stefwal, Either ~/Trash or ~/.local/share/Trash
[16:44] <psion> if you want to start something in the background do: command &
[16:44] <edbian> ruan, as in firefox&
[16:44] <ruan> edbian: ah
[16:44] <edbian> ruan, yep
[16:44] <waxrose> ~/.Trash *
[16:44] <psion> if you want to have one terminal but be working on more than one thing, use the screen command
[16:45] <psion> after typing screen, use ctrl+a+c to create a new window
[16:45] <psion> ctrl+a+a to return to previous window, ctrl+a+n to go to next window
[16:45] <ruan> how do i close a window?
[16:46] <stefwal> waxrose thx
[16:46] <psion> note that you hold ctrl while pressing both of the keys
[16:46] <waxrose> stefwal, No problem. :)
[16:46] <Wespe> waxrose: So I can download torrents.
[16:46] <Ors> Hi! Could anyone assist me how to set up my PCMCIA usb2.0 4 ports card?
[16:46] <edbian> ruan, kill that process
[16:46] <psion> ruan: if you're in a terminal you can hit ctrl+d
[16:46] <psion> or type exit
[16:47] <waxrose> Wespe, You probably shouldn't be downloading torrents from school. But you can ssh tunnel if you want to bypass them. Just get a remote server like your own VPS and just ssh tunnel into it. You will probably spend a lot on bandwidth though.
[16:47] <Wespe> I don't know how to do that.
[16:48] <psion> Wespe: just google ssh tunneling, there's lots of guides
[16:48] <Wespe> Alright.
[16:48] <Wespe> Thanks.
[16:49] <meelu> whats a simple freenx alternative for ubuntu i can setup very easily so i can view from my wndows pc
[16:50] <pcpower> vnc ?
[16:50] <psion> meelu: I use xrdp, it can be easy to setup.  sometimes it becomes a pain though
[16:50] <meelu> thanks
[16:50] <waxrose> Wespe, This might help to get you started. http://goo.gl/khyLj
[16:51] <Hedgehog456> when a window turns blue what does that mean?
[16:51] <psion> meelu: there's also vino, a program built in that allows remote desktop.  I'm pretty sure it uses vnc and not rdp though
[16:51] <waxrose> Hedgehog456, A browser window?
[16:51] <psion> Hedgehog456: it's deprived of oxygen
[16:51] <waxrose> psion, lol
[16:51] <piotrek131313> hi
[16:51] <ruan> lol
[16:51] <Hedgehog456> no, any window
[16:51] <edbian> Hedgehog456, They're turning gray because they're 'unresponsive'
[16:51] <cinnabarisland12> hello, I've just got a HP G62-18SA and can't get the Bluetooth to detect my LG KP500, does anyone know what I can do? (in Windows 7 atm)
[16:51] <ruan> Hedgehog456: do you mean grey?
[16:51] <piotrek131313> hi
[16:51] <waxrose> Hedgehog456, Maybe they lagged out.
[16:51] <waxrose> lol
[16:51] <Hedgehog456> maybe, i'm colourblind
[16:52] <waxrose> ruan, You can type gray or grey. Same meaning.
[16:52] <edbian> waxrose, he said 'blue' originally
[16:52] <Atlantic777> I've got some problems with booting ubuntu and xubunut live disks. It just hangs... Ubuntu disk stops at splash screen and xubuntu after chosing to install it. What to do?
[16:52] <piotrek131313> how to fix grub ??
[16:52] <ruan> !grub2 | piotrek131313
[16:52] <waxrose> edbian, I know,  I just can't read properly at that moment. haha
[16:52] <piotrek131313> installed ubuntu after 7 now 7 will not load
[16:53] <Atlantic777> Both cds are well burned, i've installed from them many times.
[16:53] <edbian> Atlantic777, Try booting with the HDD's disconnected
[16:53] <Logan_> !bluetooth | cinnabarisland12
[16:53] <Atlantic777> edbian: ok..
[16:53] <edbian> Atlantic777, Usually a live CD won't boot because the cd is bad or there is some piece of hardware that is not good on the system.  (usually hard to tell cause windows boots regardless of this sort of thing)
[16:54] <NotTooDumb3> what is the good website where i can download full english movie as one file?
[16:54] <Logan_> !ot | NotTooDumb3
[16:54] <ruan> Atlantic777: otherwise you can try pressing enter at the first livecd screen you get, to go straight to installation
[16:54] <piotrek131313> funny thing though win7 is still on grub list just doesnt load and comes back to grub menu
[16:54] <viswanathgs> elricL, ?
[16:54] <Dr_Willis> Atlantic777:  whasts your video chipset? if its nvidia you may want ty try the 'nomodeset' option. (hit space when you see a man/image at the boot screen, then hit f6 in the options menus)
[16:54] <ruan> Atlantic777: a text interface that lets you go straight to installation*
[16:55] <aaadem> is it possible to install another x interface like xfce or even kde without removing gnome.  id like to just be able to switch to xfce with a command but if i dont ubuntu still works just loke normal
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> aaadem:  you can have a dozen 'desktops' installed at the same time...
[16:55] <fidyduce> can anyone help me edit an iso??
[16:55] <edbian> aaadem, yes, just install them in synaptic
[16:55] <Elirips> fidyduce, what do you want to do with it?
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> aaadem:  your menus may get a bit cluttered.. but GDm should have a menu to select what desktop to load to.
[16:55] <edbian> aaadem, Then you choose them with the session menu when you log in
[16:55] <dbugger> Hello, how can I install the gd PHP module?
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> aaadem:  i got Gnome, KDE, and Lxde all on this box.
[16:56] <fidyduce> Elirips: just add a folder to the desktop of the live session...
[16:56] <Pilif12p> okay... how do i see what i have on one partition if it just won't mount
[16:56] <mix22891> ------------- Linux more fun More secure More beauty THEN WINDOWS!---------
[16:56] <Dr_Willis> Pilif12p:  mount it by hand and it gives an error? or what exactly.
[16:56] <aaadem> lol awesome!  those are just the answeres i was looking for
[16:57] <Pilif12p> Dr_Willis: tanner@tanner-laptop:~$ mount /dev/sda2 mount: can't find /dev/sda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[16:57] <Wespe> waxrose: Belated thanks. And w9ith that I got AFK.
[16:57] <Pilif12p> (Those were 2 lines)
[16:57] <deveras> I have apache2 installed in the latest ubuntu OS. I've apt got apache and php5, en2mod tells me that the module is loaded, but in the browser it offers to download the php file. I've re-installed both, same thing happends, rebooted apache, same thing
[16:57] <xfgghjlsine> ok really stupid question now... txt which is blue in terminal is a file correct ?
[16:57] <psion> Pilif12p: what kind of partition is sda2?
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> Pilif12p:  you are not giveing the right optiomns to mount..
[16:57] <waxrose> Wespe, You are welcome. :)
[16:57] <Elirips> fidyduce, try to mount the .iso file using 'mount -o loop myiso.iso /media/myiso'. Then edit it in there, unmount, and burn the myiso.iso to a new cd/dvd
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> !mount | Pilif12p
[16:58] <Elirips> fidyduce, I *think* that should work
[16:58] <marcus> Buonasera a tutti
[16:58] <piotrek131313> is there grub configurator
[16:58] <piotrek131313> it seemed to be in suse
[16:58] <psion> Pilif12p: it's mount -t type /dev/sda2 /folder/to/mount/it
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> piotrek131313:  ive not seen one for ubuntu, yet.
[16:58] <ruan> piotrek131313: there is a super grub disk, but you can also run update-grub2 from livecd
[16:59] <_________XD> slax00
[16:59] <Pilif12p> psion: does it matter where i mount it?
[16:59] <psion> Pilif12p: if you wanted to mount an ntfs partition, an example would be: mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/win
[16:59] <piotrek131313> what commands shuould start win 7
[16:59] <psion> Pilif12p: doesn't matter, just make sure you're mounting it to an empty directory
[17:00] <psion> Pilif12p: by convention, most people mount it inside of /mnt or /media
[17:01] <piotrek131313> i ve got grub-install (GRUB) 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3
[17:01] <piotrek131313> is that correct one
[17:01] <Pilif12p> psion: http://pastebin.com/p8ZGJERH
[17:01] <edbian> piotrek131313, that's grub 2  :)  Great version number isn't it?
[17:01] <edbian> piotrek131313, yeah, it's correct

[17:05] <Guest43769> edbian, that "Disk Utility 2.30.1" works
[17:05] <dtrf4837> ok i followed the webpage and rebooted and now my monitor resolution is up to 1280 x 720 but it really should be 1680 x 1050 and it still says 'monitor: unknown'
[17:05] <edbian> Guest43769, That is odd.  I don't know
[17:05] <vish> !language | poor_bastard , that includes your nick
[17:05] <Pilif12p> argh, now it won't unmount
[17:06] <poor_bastard> ?
[17:07] <vish> poor_bastard: kindly choose a more family friendly nick
[17:07] <fidyduce> elirips: yeah that did not work... says /media/myiso does not exist
[17:07] <poor_bastard> vish: it's friendly for me im a bastard
[17:08] <dtrf4837> oh i still need to read the section 'VIA proprietary graphics driver for Chrome9'
[17:08] <DOokami> in terminal ,, if i want to multiply the numbers from 1 to 9999999 ,, how can i do that
[17:08] <DOokami> i used to do it on MS-DOS but forgot how to
[17:09] <edbian> DOokami, you mean like 99999999 factorial?
[17:09] <shcherbak> DOokami: check bc
[17:10] <DOokami> edbian, i mean like 2x1~9999999
[17:11] <DOokami> shcherbak, check bc ?
[17:11] <drc> DOokami: looking for someone to do your homework for you?
[17:11] <edbian> DOokami, That's the same as 99999999 factorial.  999999 * 999998 *<PHONE_NUMBER> ...
[17:11] <shcherbak> DOokami: bc - bash calculator, use loop
[17:11] <Random832> bc does _not_ stand for "bash calculator" :P
[17:11] <DOokami> drc, no ,, wanna show my bro how "smart" a computer can be
[17:11] <shcherbak> Random832: hm, but could
[17:11] <r3c0n> hi can anyone help with vsftp?
[17:12] <dtrf4837> oh no that section is only for ubuntu 10.04. i'm on 10.10. looks like i'm stuck with 1280 x 720
[17:12] <Daekdroom> fact(9999999) has no practical use and takes too long to calc
[17:12] <Random832> no, because it existed a decade before bash
[17:12] <DOokami> shcherbak, i'm looking for the "code"
[17:12] <friendly_user> )
[17:12] <DOokami> daekdroom, 99999 then ,, i just wanna see the "computing" speed ya know
[17:12] <vish> friendly_user: thanks :)
[17:12] <Pilif12p> for this partition it says "Cluster accounting (numbers, etc) extra cluster in $Bitmap" What does this mean?
[17:12] <Random832> bash stands for "bourne again shell", a pun on "bourne shell" which was named for stephen bourne
[17:12] <DOokami> what's the syntax ..
[17:12] <edbian> DOokami, pthon; import math; math.factorial(9999999)
[17:12] <friendly_user> when I try to record using front mic I just get a BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP sound
[17:12] <Pilif12p> in gparted
[17:13] <Random832> bc stands for i think "better calculator" [better than dc, which uses a RPN interface and is harder to program
[17:13] <dejan_> My ubuntu 10.10 is just installed and fine however when I edit text (copy cut) I spotted that whole system is freezing for very short time (1 sec) why this can be? I installed ubuntu wth no swap (0) maybe this is why or?
[17:13] <shcherbak> DOokami: for i in {1..99999}; do; <function>; done;
[17:13] <Jasonn> dejan_: how much ram do you have?
[17:13] <edbian> dejan_, Get a swap.  Took at top
[17:13] <dejan_> 1 gb
[17:13] <dejan_> I am not sure if this is happeing only in mozzila
[17:13] <shcherbak> DOokami: but bash is not good for it.
[17:13] <Elirips> fidyduce, make the directory first
[17:14] <DOokami> shcherbak: ,, so i can't do that in bash at all ?
[17:14] <Random832> Pilif12p: boot into windows and run chkdsk /f
[17:14] <dejan_> what you think why this can happen?
[17:14] <waxrose> dejan_, Ubuntu's default Firefox is a bit buggy anyways so that could be a reason.
[17:14]  * Pilif12p hates windows.
[17:15] <Random832> linux doesn't have a tool to repair NTFS partitions
[17:15] <Pilif12p> aw
[17:15] <Pilif12p> well, i'll return with results
[17:15] <dejan_> I think its because i set visual effects to high..
[17:15] <dejan_> now I think is normal i ve set to normal
[17:15] <waxrose> dejan_, I am guessing that it is running on high processing.
[17:15] <dejan_> so why is this coz of ram?
[17:15] <dejan_> waxrose maybe its that the reason..
[17:15] <shcherbak> DOokami: one moment
[17:16] <dejan_> no
[17:16] <dejan_> again
[17:16] <waxrose> dejan_, The default Ubuntu tends to be a resource monster so some times.
[17:16] <waxrose> i mean
[17:16] <waxrose> default firefox
[17:16] <waxrose> sorry
[17:16] <dejan_> its ot like real freeze but like a bug or I don;t know :S
[17:16] <DOokami> shcherbak: alright ,, i'll brb too ,, try to IM me plz ,, thanks :)
[17:16] <cryke> hello. has anybody problems with resizing the screen in games? i have nvidia 7600 gs videocard. OS - Ubuntu 10.10. When i load a game (for example, teeworlds) and the game tries to change screen resolution to 800x600 Xorg freezez. Black screen and nothing more.
[17:17] <dejan_> waxrose :  i will check in text editror ad report shortly - thanks
[17:17] <waxrose> dejan_, Try using chromium-browser and seeing if you experience the same issue. If not then it's most likely firefox
[17:18] <shcherbak> DOokami: for i in {1..9}; do s=$((1 * $i)); echo $s; done;
[17:18] <Thrawn> how can i prevent ubuntu 10.10 from automatically locking my screen if computer is idle for ~5 minutes?
[17:18] <dejan_> waxrose I will test yes and i will report
[17:18] <stefwal> QUESTION: in my /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/desktopcouch/records I had a link to a server.py file. Problem is I deleted de link. Can anyone give me the location to where the link was pointing??
[17:19] <dejan_> waxrose btw swap is only used when whole ram is used at the moment?
[17:19] <shcherbak> Thrawn: menu > Preferencies > Screenserver, and untick Lock screen...
[17:19] <dejan_> waxrose its ubuntu :S
[17:19] <carbonate> Hey if I wanted to prepare a Harddrive for booting what partition scheme would I use?
[17:19] <Thrawn> thx
[17:19] <dejan_> in gedit also
[17:20] <dejan_> why can thi be happeninng it aoys me :(
[17:20] <waxrose> dejan_, Yeah that is from my understanding.
[17:20] <dejan_> annoys*
[17:20] <waxrose> hmm
[17:20] <dejan_> anyone else experiencing little freeze when copying text?
[17:21] <Jasonn> dejan_: How much ram do you have
[17:21] <Jasonn> ?
[17:21] <waxrose> dejan_, Go to system --> administration --> system monitor and check to see if some thing is taking up resources.
[17:21] <OerHeks> dejan_, all i can think of, is about what source is the txt ? browser ?
[17:21] <dejan_> it happens only when I copy text very fast with ctrl+c
[17:21] <dejan_> :S
[17:21] <dejan_> 1 gb
[17:21] <dejan_> sec
[17:21] <Jasonn> !who | dejan_
[17:22] <dejan_> waxrose no no my ram is free 800 mb
[17:22] <dejan_> and cpu only 10%
[17:22] <dejan_> OerHEks in gedit also is ubuntu
[17:22] <dejan_> or my pc
[17:22] <dejan_> maybe its my pc im not sure
[17:22] <dejan_> OerHeks no matter what text
[17:23] <waxrose> The only thing I can think of is that some thing is spiking on processing.
[17:23] <dejan_> i formated with journal4.. don't remember right name, and made no swap i have 1gb but my resources are free
[17:23] <waxrose> dejan_, ext4
[17:23] <dejan_> however i had some erros when installing
[17:24] <drc> dejan_: 1gb of what?
[17:24] <dejan_> waxrose yes I think that, the first option that gave me..
[17:24] <Jasonn> Wait a min, where did 1000 people go?
[17:24] <dejan_> drc what is lgb?
[17:24] <waxrose> dejan_, It's probably wise to always have a swap unless you have more than 4+ gigs of ram.
[17:24] <drc> dejan_: " made no swap i have 1gb "  1gb of what?
[17:24] <waxrose> drc, I believe ram.
[17:24] <dejan_> waxrose its a matter of time when I reinstall it I had no experience with formmating
[17:25] <dejan_> also tell me what kind of format should I use?
[17:25] <dejan_> drc : 1gb of Ram
[17:25] <dejan_> 100 gb hdd
[17:25] <waxrose> dejan_, You typically should stick to the default until you gain experience in formatting partitions.
[17:25] <rigved> dejan_: swap is used during hibernation. so it should always be created
[17:25] <dejan_> waxrose : what is default ? :S
[17:26] <drc> waxrose: thought so but was just checking...loose track sometimes in this volume :)
[17:26] <waxrose> Ubuntu should now default to ext4 and provide a swap if I am not mistaken.
[17:26] <davdo> +1
[17:26] <waxrose> drc, It's fine, I lose track all the time as well. lol
[17:26] <Elssha> hi, I'm trying to make an install usb for 10.10 and it won't work
[17:26] <dejan_> rigved yes I know now but what about formating options what formating should I choose? fat32 fat16 ext4 what they differ in?
[17:26] <waxrose> Elssha, On Ubuntu or windows?
[17:26] <Elssha> i tried it on both
[17:26] <Elssha> neither works
[17:26] <davdo> +1
[17:27] <cato_> ext4 for ubuntu
[17:27] <rigved> dejan_: ext4 for / and linux-swap (also called swap area) for the swap
[17:27] <Elssha> i changed my boot up sequence to have the usb flash boot first
[17:27] <waxrose> Elssha, Did you try to Ubuntu "startup disk creator"?
[17:27] <Elssha> yes
[17:27] <alberto_> oin #ubuntustudio
[17:27] <edbian> dejan_, You can read all about the on Wikipedia.  It's a major area of computer science research.  ext4 is best for Ubuntu to sit on though.  fat 32 and fat 16 have limiting file sizes for example.
[17:27] <Elssha> as well as the windows method
[17:27] <waxrose> Elssha, Oh so you are just having problems actually booting it?
[17:27] <Elssha> yup
[17:27] <dejan_> rigved ok thanks, and swap on special partitions for the swap or?
[17:27] <rigved> dejan_: give swap atleast 2 GB and make sure that it's at the end of the hdd
[17:27] <Elssha> when i went into windows it looked like it was all good
[17:27] <dejan_> i think i will learn of these things
[17:27] <[TK]D-Fender> Elssha: Did you choose to try booting off USB?  Did you get some kind of error you could share with us?  Any kind of information at all?
[17:28] <rigved> dejan_: yes, there is a special option for swap
[17:28] <dejan_> sry bothering but why is this happening why pc freezes
[17:28] <waxrose> Elssha, Try restarting then pressing the key that brings up your boot options. Typicall it is either F8 or F12.
[17:28] <Elssha> only error i get is that it goes into the normal boot log vs booting from it
[17:28] <dejan_> when i use ctrl_c fast to copy text
[17:28] <waxrose> typically*
[17:28] <friendly_user> In pavucontrol what does "set as fallback" means?!
[17:28] <cato_> try unbootin
[17:28] <dejan_> it happens no matter if i copy text or no when i pres ctrl-c combo pc freezes for 1 sec
[17:28] <alberto_> anybody knows how to make dssi-vst work?
[17:29] <petan> !ubottu
[17:29] <Elssha> in windows i can click open the box dialogue window with the 'hi, try or install ubuntu off cd' stuff and it has other files on the drive
[17:29] <davdo> join #linux
[17:29] <Elssha> so i don't think it's a problem with the info being there
[17:29] <cato_> test
[17:30] <edbian> cato_, fizz
[17:30] <Elssha> and like i said, i changed my startup sequence to usb first, then optic, then HD
[17:30] <dejan_> anyone else experience freeze for 1 sec when press ctrl-c?
[17:30] <friendly_user> In pavucontrol what does "set as fallback" means?!
[17:30] <Elssha> still jumps to the grub bootloader asking if i want ubuntu or windows
[17:30] <dejan_> it happens when i press ctrl with any other key :S
[17:31] <dejan_> it happens when i press any 2 buttons at same time..
[17:31] <dejan_> :D
[17:31] <petan> !package libgtk
[17:31] <dejan_> :S
[17:31] <petan> what is that cmd
[17:31] <waxrose> Elssha, Like I said, try to restart your computer and press the key that starts up the boot process which is either F8 or F12. If not then you may need to try to format the usb and reinstall Ubuntu on the usb
[17:31] <will__> I think it might just check if there is a shortcut set for those keys
[17:31] <petan> for browsing apt
[17:31] <Elssha> okay, i'll try
[17:31] <andrew8806> anyone know how to burn img?
[17:31] <apter> Do someone have a link to commands in terminal?
[17:31] <gartral> is there a way too unind a laptop's powerbutton.. or add a delay too read it? my laptop has the power button very close too Backspace, which, is a very common key!
[17:31] <edbian> andrew8806, I do.  On linux or windows?
[17:31] <andrew8806> edbian: linux
[17:31] <dejan_> will__ its ot annoying that much im just wondering why it happens
[17:32] <apter> andrew8806: wich OS?
[17:32] <andrew8806> my VM wont recognize my dvdrw
[17:32] <waxrose> apter, http://ss64.com/bash/
[17:32] <edbian> gartral, change what it does.  System -> Preferences -> Power Management
[17:32] <dejan_> maybe it happens after i set local language support with shift+alt
[17:32] <cato_> .
[17:32] <apter> waxrose: Thank you!
[17:32] <shcherbak> !abs > apter
[17:32] <waxrose> apter, No problem. :D
[17:32] <friendly_user> !sound
[17:32] <edbian> andrew8806, use brasero, or K3b, or gnome-baker.  They make it easy
[17:32] <andrew8806> brasero doesnt support img
[17:32] <friendly_user> !players
[17:32] <waxrose> apter, Also, check out http://commandlinefu.com
[17:33] <dejan_> it will not happen with ctrl alt shift combo just with one of this combo with other 'normal' keys
[17:33] <andrew8806> k3b is no longer on the web
[17:33] <apter> waxrose : Thank you
[17:33] <gartral> edbian: there's no "do nothing" option... and the ask my has a timer that powers off the laptop, highly annoying
[17:33] <edbian> andrew8806, ? http://www.k3b.org/
[17:33] <andrew8806> he removed it
[17:33] <andrew8806> edbian: i know... all he has is source
[17:33] <edbian> gartral, Ahhh, I see.  haha IDK? sorry :(
[17:34] <edbian> andrew8806, use gnome-baker or brasero
[17:34] <andrew8806> i will look @ gnome-baker... once again brasero doesnt support .img files
[17:34] <edbian> andrew8806, ooooh,  sorry didn't realize that was the problem!
[17:35] <gartral> andrew8806: dd..
[17:35] <andrew8806> ?
[17:35] <edbian> andrew8806, try renaming it to .iso
[17:35] <andrew8806> dd?
[17:35] <edbian> andrew8806, dd is a command

[17:41] <petn-randall> gartral: Did that, didn't help. It probably saved something with gconf, but I don't where
[17:41] <Elssha> I had already set it to start the USB first though
[17:41] <friendly_user> wait a second my microphone is using stereo? how do i change it
[17:41] <Hilikus> i've been having problems with youtube lately. the server sends a cookie that makes videoplayback only work once. the next time i go to youtube the video area is just a box of the color of my ubuntu theme and video doesn
[17:41] <Afflicto> Hey all. I'm running ubuntu 10.10 and if i try to use 5.1 surround, all sounds becomes distorted\flickery. How to fix?
[17:41] <Hilikus> ''t play
[17:41] <Hilikus> if i clean a PREF cookie from youtube and reload it works again
[17:42] <Elssha> I have the thing made on two diff USB drives so I don't think that's the problem
[17:42] <Hilikus> it looks like there's something wrong with that cookie. how can i fix this? has anyone else experienced this?
[17:42] <Elssha> Any way I can start the install oo
[17:42] <dejan_> I am sorry for not testing this right and poitig you in different dirrection but I just realised after testing that system is not freezing but just only when I type text I can't mouve pointer with touchpad on the laptop why is this happening is this normal or its just me? I will test it with mouse now nnot with touchpad
[17:42] <Elssha> Once I'm already in the grub boot loader?
[17:42] <BitEncrypt> anybody here familiar with clive
[17:43] <Elssha> This is re: installing 10.10 off a USB
[17:44] <hihihi100> is installing from source difficult?
[17:44] <ugliefrog> what is the full adress of  a folder on one pc as it seen from another pc
[17:44] <gartral> dejan_ that's a feature, not a bug, go into System>Preferences>Mouse>Touchpad and you'll see a tick called "Disable Touchpad when typing"
[17:45] <giiker> After update I can't  print to file (PDF) anymore in open office
[17:45] <giiker> I can do it thought in gedit...
[17:45] <giiker> I can do it though in gedit...
[17:46] <amin> hi
[17:46] <Elssha> Anyone know how to make the USB install work?
[17:46] <carbonate> Can someone tell me if I'm bonkers for thinking this? If I set up a partition using disk utility as being 7gb Name Install and extracted the contents of natty-dvd-amd64 to it I could configure lilo or grub to boot from it and install to another partition on the same drive named Ubuntu 16gb?
[17:46] <gartral> Elssha: first we have too know what's wrong
[17:47] <Elssha> When I first start the boot the light on it does blink
[17:47] <amin> How could I power on the off server just by ssh and ip   I just have<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[17:47] <dejan_> I am sorry guys
[17:47] <Elssha> So the comp Is reading it
[17:47] <ogzy> i need help about pwauth, here is the description http://paste.ubuntu.com/576068/ any ides why it is not working?
[17:47] <dejan_> i feel stupid now :| i had disable touchpad when typing..
[17:47] <edbian> amin, if you're root just log in and shutdown -r not  to reboot
[17:47] <Elssha> But it won't enter the install screen
[17:47] <dejan_> I panic in a very short time
[17:48] <gartral> carbonate: you are indeed loony, you cannot, under any circumstances repartition your boot drive.
[17:48] <ruan> Elssha: is the usb set as #1 boot priority?
[17:48] <Elssha> Yup
[17:48] <Jasonn> !enter | elssha
[17:48] <gartral> dejan_: i pointed that out earlier
[17:48] <carbonate> gartral: what if its already partitioned?
[17:48] <Elssha> And the lights do blink on the USB
[17:48] <dejan_> gartal : i see..
[17:48] <giiker> carbonate: you can isntall to a partition or have the iso stored in any partition and have grub boot from the installed partition or tell it where that iso iamge is.
[17:48] <ruan> Elssha: hmm, have you tried installing from wubi?
[17:49] <amin> edbian: the server is turned off how could I get it back on line
[17:49] <Elssha> So the comp does read it
[17:49] <dejan_> gartal sry was in panic coz i didnt made swap
[17:49] <Elssha> Wubi?
[17:49] <ruan> Elssha: yeah, install from hard drive i think
[17:49] <Elssha> I saw that on there when I entered windows
[17:49] <ruan> !wubi
[17:49] <carbonate> giiker: I like the idea but what if its a brand new drive with nothing on it, can I use a live USB key to install lilo or grub on it
[17:50] <matze> Nabend
[17:50] <carbonate> Elssha: Whats your problem because I think we may have the same one
[17:50] <Elssha> Will that allow me to install on a sep partition though?
[17:50] <giiker> carbonate: aas long as you have a perfectly installed distro on the USB drive you can do anything, read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[17:50] <gartral> carbonate: I thin'k the installer paretitions the swap on the drive it's working on... but it's worth a shot, looking too set up a Google-Style "varified recovery"?
[17:50] <hihihi100> i cannot use the "clean install" command, whats the correct command line?
[17:50] <giiker> carbonate: grub 2 will let you this thought, not the previous version
[17:50] <Elssha> The options I saw on it were install in windows and Restarted
[17:51] <Elssha> Which option are you suggesting I pick?
[17:51] <giiker> yeah the installer partitions an area of the disk as swap, but after isntalling it releases/unomunts it othersiwe there would be probs with the File system
[17:52] <Elssha>  Carb... In a nutshell My USB installer won't install

[17:52] <carbonate> gartral: No, so this is the problem. I built this computer yesterday and I didnt buy a cd/dvd drive because it came with a free usb drive and I think cd/dvd drives are ugly. I used pendrivelinux to turn Ubuntu Desktop amd64 into a Live USB Key and I am using it now. I tried to use the install function but it hangs unless I remove the usb drive which obviously ruins everything.
[17:53] <waxrose> hihihi100, Tried simply make install ?
[17:53] <ruan> carbonate: that also happened to me
[17:53] <carbonate> gartral: So I'm trying to get an os installed on this sata drive so i can stop booting from the usb key
[17:53] <ruan> carbonate: i was forced to use a livecd :/
[17:53] <carbonate> :'(
[17:53] <giiker> in open office I used to have the option to print documents to PDF through the print to file option when printing documents, now that option is gone, it has to do with cups I think, any ideas anyyone?
[17:53] <gartral> giiker: he's talking crazy i think, he said he wants a 7 gb partition and a 16 gb "logical" drive block, pre-partitioned.. and have grub boot the install image off of the 7 gb and install into the 16gb space...
[17:53] <hihihi100> i did install it, successfuly, but I dont know if some traces of the installation should be erased
[17:54] <hihihi100> and, now im trying to fo a git pull, but I cannot find the correct path
[17:54] <hihihi100> do
[17:54] <carbonate> gartral: thats not right
[17:54] <gartral> carbonate: you're woes aren't a quarter a bad as you may think.. tell me, do you have another computer available?
