[00:00] <aeon-ltd> fester: try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto
[00:00] <fester> thanks
[00:00] <ezy> aeon-ltd, ^cheeky thanks. this is good enough for me :-)
[00:00] <aeon-ltd> fester: wrong link soz
[00:00] <fester> oh no
[00:00] <fester> yea, i don't want to do that
[00:00] <aeon-ltd> fester: correct one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321156
[00:00] <Poker> nikitis, mm thanks
[00:01] <murielgodoi> How can I disable BlueProximity from autorun? I tested it once but now it loas on every boot.
[00:01] <nikitis> dogmatic69, Read up on permissions.  each of those digit values represents access. one digit is premissions for any users
[00:01] <hiexpo> looks like a train wreck
[00:01] <nikitis> dogmatic69, one for owners, and one for group members
[00:02] <hiexpo> fester,  backup all your files and do a fresh install
[00:02] <fester> hiexpo: i just did that
[00:02] <fester> hiexpo: i'm sitting on a fresh install now
[00:02] <fester> what's a good way to upgrade the kernel? just use the mainline?
[00:02] <fester> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc1-lucid/
[00:02] <hiexpo> fester,  oh what distro ? and it did not work   ?
[00:02] <nikitis> dogmatic69, first digit is for those who own the files.  Which would be the owner of the vhost.  He will want full permission so 7
[00:03] <fester> hiexpo: using lucid
[00:03] <fester> trying to get kernel >= 2.6.33 to work
[00:03] <hiexpo> fester,  what you have before?
[00:03] <fester> with fglrx
[00:03] <nikitis> dogmatic69, 2nd digit is for the group members, say, you and the owner.  5 or 7 will suffice  7 giving read write and execute
[00:03] <fester> hiexpo: i had working system, but no TRIM support
[00:04] <hiexpo> fester,  was ubuntu also before ?
[00:04] <^cheeky> erUSUL: so a logical drive could be my swap partition and /hom and also / ?
[00:04] <fester> yes
[00:04] <^cheeky> */hom /home
[00:04] <hiexpo> fester,  9.10 ?
[00:04] <fester> no, 10.04
[00:04] <fester> that's what i have now, just fresh install
[00:04] <segaloco> (sorry about all the popping in and popping out) anyway, anyone know if there are logs of every boot or attempted boot stored somewhere?
[00:04] <segaloco> i wanna see if there is something grub isnt telling me
[00:04] <fester> since i broke fglrx with the kernel upgrade
[00:05] <erUSUL> ^cheeky: a extended partition can hold up to 63 logical partitions. you can put what ever you want in them. swap home / etc...
[00:05] <wildbat> hi~ anyone happen to get "gnome-terminal --tab" working?~ it keep open new windwos instead of tab
[00:05] <nikitis> dogmatic69, the last digit is access for any user who is there in that directory.  if that number is too low, and i'm there, i won't be able to see it
[00:05] <hiexpo> fester,  so 10.04 is giving you lots of  problems ?
[00:05] <edbian> wildbat, Well your problem is that you're calling a second instance of the program when you type gnome-terminal --tab
[00:05] <nikitis> if it's 5, i can read and execute files, but not write to them
[00:06] <hiexpo> fester,  may i suggest 9.10
[00:06] <edbian> wildbat, Once a GUI program has been launched there typically is not a cli interface left behind it.  What this means is that I don't think it's possible to open a new tab in your gnome-terminal window from the cli.
[00:06] <fester> hiexpo: no, it was working before, but i went to upgrade the kernel so that i can have TRIM support, and flgrx broke, it would either cause a black screen and not boot, or it would have severe scrambled screen
[00:07] <dogmatic69> nikitis: cool thanks
[00:07] <dogmatic69> ill figure them out
[00:07] <hiexpo> fester,  and all you did was sudo apt-get update than sudo apt-get upgrade /
[00:08] <wildbat> edbian, oh ! ~ that's what i want but oh well ~ thanks.
[00:08] <edbian> wildbat, Yep. Sorry! :(
[00:08] <hiexpo> sup edbian
[00:08] <edbian> hiexpo, Hey.
[00:08] <fester> no, i used http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc1-lucid/
[00:09] <fester> i wonder if i should use http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/
[00:09] <murielgodoi> Hi guys, How can I disable BlueProximity from autoload on every boot?
[00:09] <edbian> murielgodoi, Uninstall it.
[00:10] <fester> this says that 2.6.35 is officially available for 10.04 but i don't know how to install it other than through the mainline http://www.ubuntugeek.com/kernel-2-6-35-officially-available-for-ubuntu-10-04.html
[00:10] <murielgodoi> edbian: I would like to keep it and use just when I need to. Is there a way for that?
[00:10] <edbian> murielgodoi, Does it show up in System -> Pref -> Start Up ??
[00:11] <hiexpo> fester,  you no i am on 9.10 have been since day one and would probably be the same on 10.04  sudo apt- get update than upgrade updates the kernal best way i have seen never have had an issue
[00:12] <hiexpo> lately i have been getting kernal update weekly
[00:12] <mneptok> "kernel"
[00:13] <hiexpo> ^
[00:13] <rww> fester: I believe that article is inaccurate.
[00:13] <MichealH> heixpo: Well, put it this way... At least your drivers and new and polisehed
[00:14] <hiexpo> 4 year old lappy guess i am lucky huh
[00:14] <MichealH> *polished
[00:14] <MichealH> Yup
[00:14] <hiexpo> good lappy  so i bought a spare same one :)
[00:15] <hiexpo> everything is supported
[00:16] <hiexpo> hp did ok on this one
[00:16] <fester> i'm going to try this http://theubuntunews.blogspot.com/2010/08/install-new-kernel-2635-on-ubuntu-1004.html
[00:16] <segaloco> if it helps any, here's a dmesg log from the last successful boot, with a big line of [00:16] <segaloco> http://pastebin.com/eS80f0J0
[00:16] <hiexpo> sup KE1HA
[00:17] <i2c> ok listen to this, I had a ubuntu 10.04 beat install that I updated via update manager, then I reinstalled with a 10.04LTS and now when I install skype and teamviewer neither of them work
[00:18] <KE1HA> hiexpo, was just testing some desktops
[00:18] <hiexpo> KE1HA,  which ones
[00:18] <KE1HA> compiz and metalcity
[00:18] <KE1HA> themes I should say
[00:18] <murielgodoi> edbian: found it here... The brazillian portuguese translation is not clear for this app
[00:19]  * murielgodoi thanks edbian
[00:19] <hiexpo> i2c,  what is beat install
[00:19] <edbian> murielgodoi, Ha ha.  Glad you fixed it! :D
[00:20] <DirtBAG256> gosh that reg email process is a bit*h
[00:20] <segaloco> wait, did versions prior to 10.04 use mountall and plymouth?
[00:20] <Visine> hey, the minimize, exit and maximize buttons are gone my current install. Has anyone ever run into this?
[00:20] <Visine> or have any ideas?
[00:21] <dogmatic69> how do i open a file with some other program, right click open with (the one i want is not listed)
[00:21] <edbian> Visine, metacity --replace& in a terminal
[00:21] <ZykoticK9> Visine, "metacity --replace" then "compiz --replace"
[00:21] <edbian> Visine, Your window decorator (metacity) has crashed.
[00:21] <Visine> ok thanks guys, I will try it now
[00:21] <DirtBAG256> dogmatic69: open your program firsr the open your file in question
[00:22] <rww> segaloco: plymouth is new, mountall was in karmic (but didn't depend plymouth there)
[00:22] <Visine> that worked
[00:22] <Visine> thank you
[00:22] <hiexpo> kool
[00:25] <hiexpo> MichealH,  - you from ca ?
[00:27] <segaloco> hmm, thats probably whats up then
[00:28] <DirtBAG256> faithless IM feeling good
[00:28] <segaloco> i jsut cant seem to remove it now, its whats crapping up my bootup
[00:28] <segaloco> it says EVERYTHING depends on it now... how was that not the case before i installed it <_<
[00:29] <FBP> Hi. I just installed the nvidia drivers and enabled having two screens. I think, however, that I did something wrong because I can not seem to move anything between the screens
[00:29] <segaloco> hmm... i wonder if i could pull of this chroot black magic with a different kernel, probably not huh
[00:29] <MichealH> FBP:Been in the actual control panel?
[00:29] <FBP> I did learn about gnome panels after deleting half of them on accident.
[00:29] <ZykoticK9> FBP, you need to use TwinView and not Separate X in order to move from screen to screen
[00:29] <FBP> Ok. That was not made clear
[00:30] <hiexpo> compiz
[00:30] <MichealH> FBP, Ststem > Admin > NVide settings manager
[00:30] <segaloco> you know what, im just gonna install xubuntu, and chroot the wifi, its not a permanent fix, but it can be a long term one, i just need this computer usable for school
[00:30] <basix-> i've been in #ubuntu-unregged wondering why no ones talking for the past hour
[00:30] <FBP> Ok
[00:31] <basix-> lol
[00:31] <FBP> Is there a way to restart X without restarting ubuntu?
[00:31] <segaloco> i am really intent on repairing my ubuntu install though, did a LOT of work getting that set up how i like
[00:31] <Visine> yy
[00:31] <segaloco> FBP sudo service gdm restart
[00:31] <Visine> hgtfghfghfggffhgfy
[00:31] <hiexpo> segaloco,  what wifi probs you having ?
[00:31] <MichealH> Basix- what is that channel?
[00:31] <segaloco> its not wifi, well, just getting wifi working AGAIN, its my ubuntu that it actually works on not booting due to plymouth
[00:31] <segaloco> my wifi is just being stupid on other systems im trying to install temporarily so i have SOMETHING
[00:32] <basix-> sends you there when you join #ubuntu with an unregistered nick
[00:32] <hiexpo> segaloco,  remove plymouth
[00:32] <segaloco> easier said than done
[00:32] <MichealH> Ahhh
[00:32] <segaloco> it says EVERYTHING depends on it X_X
[00:32] <segaloco> or close to it
[00:32] <segaloco> a lot of important stuff
[00:32] <segaloco> and i tried manually removing it, mountall really does depend on it
[00:32] <rww> segaloco: remove whichever plymouth-theme-* packages you have installed
[00:32] <segaloco> it whines about libply* not being there
[00:32] <Dr_Willis> You can disable plymouth..
[00:33] <hiexpo> how did you install it synaptic yes ?
[00:33] <segaloco> yeah
[00:33] <segaloco> and now i tried chroot synaptic to remove it, but it says too much depends on it
[00:33] <Dr_Willis> You dont 'remove' plymouth. You just disable it. :)
[00:33] <hiexpo> go back into synaptic and remove it
[00:33] <segaloco> rww: i just have plymouth, plymouth-x11, and libplymouth
[00:33] <segaloco> hiexpo: ... you cant
[00:33] <segaloco> it says like half the system depends on it
[00:33] <Dr_Willis> You can use teh 'text' option to have it not load. and use startx, or run gdm from rc.local as a dirty way also.
[00:34] <DirtBAG256> slow drops or waht
[00:34] <segaloco> where at, i am chrooted to my ubuntu install, just tell me what to do :P
[00:34] <segaloco> although its not plymouth itself
[00:34] <segaloco> its libplymouth causing me grief
[00:34] <segaloco> mountall didnt used to depend on it afaik, but i guess it updated and it does now :/
[00:35] <segaloco> its mountall crashing with status 127 not finding ply_boot_<something>
[00:35] <segaloco> i forget what the something was..
[00:35] <segaloco> and ive seen a similar problem before, libply.so.2.0.0 not being symlinked to libply.so.2 or something
[00:35] <Dr_Willis> segaloco:  see --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/481194/
[00:35] <segaloco> but it is on my system
[00:35] <djshotglass> anyone know of a command line download manager (https) that uses multiple connections to get the file?
[00:36] <segaloco> Dr_Willis: i cant even load my ubuntu
[00:36] <segaloco> im running an xubuntu live cd
[00:36] <Connor1> Hello everyone, I'm having a problem on my laptop. I installed Ubuntu 10 a few weeks ago. I get an internet connection, but I can't install anything from apt-get or browse the internet, as packages aren't found and websites don't load. Websites won't ping either. Can someone help me?
[00:36] <segaloco> i mean, i chrooted to it.. but i tired that already
[00:36] <segaloco> ill try again i guess :V
[00:36] <MichealH> Good
[00:36] <^cheeky> can mu partition of my disk look like this : http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/6272/photo4fp.jpg  i have chosen sda5 /sd6/sda7  all logical drives .. with windows partiion installed as well ..
[00:36] <hiexpo> djshotglass,  there are many go into ubuntu software center and type download manager and search it
[00:37] <i2c> I meant beta install
[00:37] <Dr_Willis> segaloco:  theres the 'text' option i mentiooned you can use at GRUB  that will disable plymouth and gdm totally.
[00:37] <hiexpo> ruuh rooh
[00:37] <MichealH> Segaloco: What is your issue (only just came back lol
[00:37] <segaloco> then i can manually start gdm?
[00:37] <segaloco> ehh, plymouth is breaking booting of my ubuntu altogether
[00:38] <ZykoticK9> !nox | segaloco
[00:38] <segaloco> and i wouldnt TOTALLY mind reinstalling, but my wifi was a pain to set up the first time, and i honestly dont remember how i pulled it off
[00:38] <MichealH> Segaloco, How?
[00:38] <segaloco> i dunno, mountall is looking for something in libply, and its not finding it
[00:38] <cannonfodder>  hey you guys i just installed php bb but now i dont see anything when i navigate on web browser
[00:38] <cannonfodder> join #web
[00:38] <segaloco> (at least thats what it does when i boot a non 2.6.32 kernel)
[00:39] <segaloco> (and then im running wifi right now thanks to similar kernels and some chroot magic)
[00:39] <csis> cannonfodder, did you started apache ?
[00:39] <MichealH> This is a live cd, right?
[00:39] <segaloco> yeah
[00:39] <cannonfodder> csis u mean restart apache?
[00:39] <csis> Or do that
[00:39] <Delvien> Booted LiveCD 10.04, cmd "sudo grub" and tried "sudo /sbin/grub" and both give me the response: command not found.... Am I missing some blunder that took out grub from liveCD?
[00:39] <cannonfodder> i was ust configuring phpbb thru firefox so that makes no sense
[00:40] <MichealH> Have you entered the menu of the livecd and checked for defects?
[00:40] <segaloco> in what?
[00:40] <hiexpo> oh this is on a live cd segaloco
[00:40] <csis> Oh, phpbb
[00:40] <csis> :)
[00:40] <^cheeky> mu/ i
[00:40] <segaloco> well righ tNOW im on a livecd chrooted to my ubuntu install that wont boot
[00:40] <hiexpo> oh ok
[00:40] <segaloco> kinda running a hybrid right now X_X using a few drivers from my broken install
[00:40] <kreeper> edbian: what was that link for the lighttpd webserver documentation?
[00:40] <segaloco> chrooted and modprobed rt3070sta
[00:40] <djshotglass> hiexpo i am looking for something command line
[00:40] <segaloco> thank goodness its the exact same kernel
[00:40] <Leif> I need help with gparted on the 10.04 livecd, in particular, my extended partition is too big, and gparted will only resize logical partitions, can anyone help me to get gparted to shirng the extended partition so I can increse the size of one of my primary partitions?  Thanks
[00:41] <Ward|> how do i undo this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:psyke83/ppa
[00:41] <MichealH> Segaloco: when you see the ubuntu logo press a key then enter your language the "check disk for defects"
[00:41] <Dr_Willis> segaloco:  not booting is different from 'plymouth hanging'     if its plymouth causing issues you can disable it from starting via that 'text' option to the grub kernel line.
[00:41] <segaloco> yeah im working on it :P
[00:41] <hiexpo> djshotglass,  there is stuff there i think if notgo into softpedia
[00:41] <Dr_Willis> Ward|:  it should have added/made a file in /etc/apt/sources.d/ remove that file.
[00:41] <Delvien> Ward|: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge ppa:psyke83/ppa
[00:41] <edbian> kreeper, ?  Google probably knows.
[00:41] <csis> Ward|, edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:42] <Ward|> csis, its not in there i tried that allready :p
[00:42] <Ward|> Dr_Willis, i'll check there thanx
[00:42] <ZykoticK9> Ward|, or System / Admin / Software Sources - and uncheck it from 3rd party tab
[00:42] <Dr_Willis> ppa-purge is not in the defauilt repos..  and its NOT in sources.list.. it should be in sources.d/SOMEFILENAME
[00:42] <Leif> Oh never mind, I should be shot, I was clicking in the wrong area, sorry for wasting your time. :)
[00:42] <Dr_Willis> ppa-purge - Is to be in the next release i hear.
[00:42] <MichealH> Segaloco, alternatively you can disable --quiet-splash
[00:43] <Delvien> Dr_Willis: My mistake, I must have the PPA for it, ironic
[00:43] <segaloco> yeah, did some stuff, gonna try it now i guess
[00:43] <Dr_Willis> Delvien:  yep. :) ubuntu-tweak also includes it  these days
[00:43] <segaloco> soo brb/bbl i guess :P
[00:43] <Ward|> ppa-purge is much more conveniant though
[00:43] <KE1HA> sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory>
[00:43] <segaloco> ill update you whenever xD
[00:43] <Dr_Willis> nye all - bll
[00:43] <Ward|> i love there's commands for it
[00:43] <Ward|> as opposed to editing the configs jsut to add one line
[00:43] <MichealH> It's the moment if truth ;D
[00:44] <Connor1> Hello everyone, I'm having a problem on my laptop. I installed Ubuntu 10 a few weeks ago. I get an internet connection, but I can't install anything from apt-get or browse the internet, as packages aren't found and websites don't load. Websites won't ping either. Can someone help me?
[00:44] <Connor1> This is my output of iptables -L, http://fpaste.org/S8mH/
[00:45] <MichealH> Connor1, are you getting a connection on annotjer PC?
[00:45] <Wipster> evning all, got an issue with ftp on linux if I reboot my computer I can get one file transfer but if I try again I only get one hash mark in debug mode. ifconfig down up doesn't fix it and a reboot seems to be the only way to get another transfer. Been happening for quite a few ubuntu versions now and its finally got to me, (have to use windows for the ftp transfers)
[00:45] <allquixotic> Hi, how do I save my iptables rules so they will be loaded on next boot, without using UFW? I'm on 10.04.1 Server
[00:45] <Connor1> MichealH yes, my laptop.
[00:45] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: so you cant even ping?
[00:45] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 correct
[00:46] <MichealH> Connor1: Has your PC got a static ip address?
[00:46] <csis> allquixotic, make a script and put it in /etc/init.d/
[00:46] <Connor1> MichealH I'm not quite sure, but I was also having this problem a few weeks ago, and the windows computers and the mac in the house all work fine on the wireless network
[00:46] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: whats the output of    ifconfig /a
[00:47] <Connor1> Device not found?
[00:47] <Connor1> Wtf is /a?
[00:47] <Connor1> You mean -a?
[00:47] <MichealH> He will of
[00:47] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: whats the output of    ifconfig    sure
[00:47] <MichealH> Try the -a
[00:47] <ZykoticK9> allquixotic, i have no idea - but csis's suggestion is the old, non-Upstart method (just based off path ;)
[00:47] <^cheeky> in a dual boot setup with NTFS partition can all my partition for ubuntu 10.4 be logical ?
[00:48] <cystic> how come my screenlets always don't come back how I set them afterI restart
[00:48] <csis> Wipster, do you wait after uploading one file ?
[00:48] <csis> ZykoticK9, yeah it is, after all :)
[00:49] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 MichealH
[00:49] <ZykoticK9> csis, :)  wasn't trying to be rude or anything, just wanted to add to the answer.
[00:49] <Connor1> http://fpaste.org/ydmI/
[00:49] <Connor1> There is both
[00:49] <csis> ZykoticK9, it's ok
[00:49] <Wipster> csis, hey again I think we talked last time I asked, the device is imbedded and rebooted so there is timer
[00:50] <Wipster> *is no
[00:50] <cystic> anybody?
[00:50] <csis> Wipster, that's really strange, then
[00:50] <MichealH> Connor1, It surely isn't doing anything
[00:50] <csis> Are you sure you ended the transaction ?
[00:50] <Connor1> MichealH all it's donig is connecting to the internet
[00:51] <hiexpo> cystic,  in panel\
[00:51] <csis> What ftp uploader do you use ?
[00:51] <Wipster> csis, define end the transaction once I am done I use exit
[00:51] <MichealH> Connor1, Trying :P
[00:51] <Nyha> Hi, I was wondering if I change the gnome-terminal to xterm in some apps it won't read .Xdefaults... can I force this some how?
[00:51] <Wipster> csis, just standard commandline ftp
[00:51] <Connor1> MichealH any ideas on what to do?
[00:52] <Wipster> csis, this happens across distros and across hardware, but works fine on xp
[00:52] <hiexpo> cystic,  iapplets in the panel ?
[00:52] <MichealH> Connor1: Did you give your computer a IP address manually?
[00:52] <hiexpo> ^applets
[00:52] <csis> could you upload something right now and then upload netstat > file.txt somewhere or on pastebin
[00:52] <Connor1> MichealH the laptop?
[00:52] <Connor1> No
[00:52] <Connor1> I selected my wireless network from the network list.
[00:53] <Wipster> I will need to reboot to get a successfull transaction do you want an failed one too?
[00:53] <MichealH> The computer your having issues on, Connor1
[00:53] <csis> Wipster, sure
[00:53] <cystic> the widgets from the screenlets app.. the weather widget always goes back to default settings  so i have to redo my zipcode and make it farenheit
[00:53] <Wipster> ok back in a bit then
[00:53] <Connor1> MichealH no I didn't
[00:53] <Connor1> Also MichealH
[00:53] <Connor1> aperson> does going to <IP_ADDRESS> work?
[00:53] <MichealH> Connor1, Which PC is having the problems?
[00:53] <Connor1> <*
[00:54] <Connor1> This didn't work

[00:55] <hiexpo> cystic,  when talking to someone please type a couple letters etc and hit tab so we get notified of message some of us are on many channels
[00:55] <Connor1> MichealH would the output of sudo lshw -C network help?
[00:55] <MichealH> Connor1, Tried restarting your router/hotspur?
[00:55] <Connor1> MichealH yes
[00:55] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | Delvien
[00:55] <cystic> hiexpo, ok thanks
[00:55] <MichealH> Connor1, Give it a shot!
[00:56] <Connor1> The output or the router?
[00:56] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: so  your talking to another pc via wifi?
[00:56] <segaloco> no good :/
[00:56] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 my desktop is a wired connection
[00:56] <Connor1> cable line-modem-router-computer
[00:56] <Connor1> the - being a new cable
[00:56] <segaloco> its saying ply_boot_client_flush or something isnt being found by mountall
[00:56] <MichealH> Connor1, No the commands' output please
[00:56] <segaloco> and that its exiting with status 127
[00:57]  * aperson waves at Connor1
[00:57]  * Connor1 waves at aperson
[00:57] <MichealH> Segaloco, there is issues with your partition then
[00:57] <hiexpo> cystic,  better
[00:57] <Connor1> http://fpaste.org/fOsP/
[00:57] <segaloco> hmm
[00:57] <MichealH> It won't mount so it's having issues
[00:58] <segaloco> you know, (now i feel stupid for not mentioning this) i also tried to install grub-pc... that didnt go over so well
[00:58] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: so hho are you wifining to/
[00:58] <segaloco> -_-'
[00:58] <segaloco> why didnt i say that...
[00:58] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: so who are you wifining to?
[00:58] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 my router, if you meant who are you wifing to
[00:58] <Connor1> My router.
[00:58] <Connor1> Laptop to my router
[00:58] <hiexpo> cystic,  see your learning as you go free education
[00:59] <segaloco> but anyway, i tried again just now to install grub-pc though my chroot and its not working...
[00:59] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: is the router the gateway?
[00:59] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 Linksys
[00:59] <Connor1> Linksys wrt310n, stock firmware.
[00:59] <hiexpo> thats the prob is n
[01:00] <MichealH> Connor1: is there a pc on the network you have with the same ip address...
[01:00] <Connor1> MichealH I don't believe so, no.
[01:00] <Connor1>
[01:00] <MichealH> They may be conflicting
[01:00] <hiexpo> bet if you disable password it will conect
[01:00] <DirtBAG256> MichealH: that not possible
[01:01] <MichealH> Dirtbag256: It certainly is!
[01:01] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: so what happens if you ping google.com?
[01:01] <Visine> what is the key for desktop cube once you enable it in compiz?
[01:01] <csis> Connor1, you can't ping those websites ?
[01:01] <MichealH> It's happened plenty of tomes before ;)
[01:01] <segaloco> visine: did you enable rotate cube?
[01:01] <Visine> yea
[01:01] <segaloco> hmm, i dunno about the key, i just drag it with the middle mouse wheel
[01:01] <DirtBAG256> MichealH: same ip address  prove it then :P
[01:01] <segaloco> click it in on the desktop and drag
[01:02] <hiexpo> ^ you mean what is the keyboard shortcuts for copiz cube
[01:02] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 no output
[01:02] <Connor1> csis nope
[01:02] <MichealH> Dirtbag256 pit 2 ubuntu pcs to the same ip address then
[01:02] <Visine> hmm
[01:02] <Visine> I don't see it on my desktop
[01:02] <Visine> il keep looking
[01:02] <segaloco> well, just center click and drag to rotate the cube via mouse, i forget the key combo though...
[01:02] <MichealH> It will make you connection loose if they both clash
[01:03] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: there must be something even if it fails
[01:03] <Visine> I have both of them enabled, nothing happens with middle mouse button
[01:03] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 just a blank line
[01:04] <MichealH> Connor1: DNS Server configuration wrong by any chance?
[01:04] <hiexpo> he  is not listening
[01:04] <segaloco> Visine: did you use ccsm or some other program
[01:04] <MichealH> heixpo: who?
[01:04] <kreeper> i tried installing php5-cgi and at the end i got errors,   "dpkg-deb (subprocess): error in buffer_read(stream): failed to write to pipe in copy: Input/output error dpkg-deb: subprocess paste returned error exit status 2 dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/php5-cgi_5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2_i386.deb (--unpack):  short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/bin/php5-cgi') No apport report written because the error mes
[01:04] <Visine> ccsm
[01:04] <kreeper> but it didnt help
[01:05] <Connor1> MichealH I'm thinking it is that
[01:05] <kreeper> how do i fix this
[01:05] <segaloco> well, no clue then :/
[01:05] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: so you ping google.com and get a blank line on the console?
[01:05] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 yes
[01:05] <segaloco> its usually default that middle mouse button and drag rotates the cube
[01:05] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 I just got "unknown host"
[01:05] <Visine> oh i got it!
[01:05] <Visine> thanks
[01:05] <MichealH> Connor1: What did you set them to?
[01:05] <Connor1> DirtBAG256
[01:05] <Connor1> http://fpaste.org/emDc/
[01:05] <Wipster> csis, ok here we go a just after a working transfer: http://pastebin.com/9xV386Up and a Failed transfer: http://pastebin.com/ZqysmUvE
[01:05] <Connor1> MichealH I'm using default DNS settings.
[01:06] <Wipster> csis, the Failed one just hangs do I ctrl c out of it
[01:06] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: something is very wrong then can u pastebin it please
[01:06] <Wipster> csis, s/do/so
[01:06] <csis> It's ok
[01:07] <segaloco> well im gonna install xubuntu for now so i'll have SOMETHING and just keep doing what ive been doing for the wifi :/
[01:07] <MichealH> Connor1: usually a router or server can act as a dns server if it is directly connected to a line
[01:07] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: passtebin your ping attempts
[01:07] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 ping: unknown host google.com
[01:07] <Connor1> Nothing for me to pastebin besides that...
[01:07] <segaloco> not a permanent fix, but good for longterm, especially since school is coming up, i need a usable system
[01:07] <Connor1> MichealH I see
[01:07] <MichealH> Just get their ip address and set that as your laptop dns
[01:07] <Connor1> MichealH I need this laptop for school, a wired connection won't cut it
[01:08] <MichealH> Connor1: You gonna try?
[01:08] <Connor1> MichealH will it let me use my laptop on wireless at school or fix the problem?
[01:08] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: that means theres no externall access at all!
[01:08] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: can you ping the router?
[01:08] <MichealH> Connor1:  Dies your Router have a IP address
[01:09] <Connor1> MichealH hold o
[01:09] <MichealH> If he can't ping the router the it's probably dns
[01:09] <Connor1> On*
[01:09] <Connor1> MichealH ipconfig on windows, what should I look for?
[01:10] <MichealH> The ip address if say
[01:10] <DirtBAG256> MichealH: no probaly dhcp
[01:10] <Connor1> MichealH none look like my router IP
[01:10] <hiexpo> it is a n router
[01:10] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: pastebin ipconfig
[01:10] <MichealH> Connor1: goto your browser and in the bar try <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:11] <McLinux> how can he pastebin it if he's not online?
[01:11] <aperson> DirtBAG256, http://fpaste.org/ydmI/
[01:11] <Connor1> MichealH 1.1
[01:11] <Connor1> MichealH <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:11] <aperson> DirtBAG256, nvm, that's ifconfig
[01:11] <MichealH> Connor1: if it asks for user and pass then it's your routers ip address
[01:11] <hiexpo> MichealH,  good idea linksys
[01:11] <uRock> Just installed 10.04 over an 9.10 install, but did not format the /home. Now I have no top panels on windows and am having several other theme issues, what can I try to fix this?
[01:12] <MichealH> heixpo: ??
[01:12] <Connor1> MichealH I know
[01:12] <Connor1> MichealH I'm not new to logging into my router lol
[01:12] <MichealH> Heh
[01:12] <jellow> uRock: try removing the .gnome config files in /home/$USER/
[01:13] <uRock> jellow, will it create a new one/
[01:13] <uRock> ?
[01:13] <MichealH> Connor1: isn't it funny how I'm giving Linux support on a Apple Product?
[01:13] <Connor1> MichealH sure
[01:13] <hiexpo> MichealH,  - saying good idea see if he logs into linkssys ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:13] <aperson> uRock, hold on a sec
[01:13] <jellow> uRock: don't remove them just rename them , yes it should create new ones
[01:13] <Connor1> Considering Mac OS X is unix based...
[01:13] <aperson> jellow, no
[01:13] <aperson> uRock, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408925
[01:13] <MichealH> Connor1: lol
[01:13] <aperson> that will restore your panels, uRock
[01:14] <terov> hey folks, having wireless trouble (massive packet loss on all networks; network cuts out intermittently; drastically long pings/latency at random intervals). happens on all networks, but wasn't happening until i installed my new router. any ideas?
[01:14] <Connor1> So any other ideas MichealH ?
[01:14] <terov> wired network works without a hitch.
[01:14] <MichealH> Can you ping your router
[01:14] <powertool08> I have an apt-get process that was started in a terminal, I left for awhile, when I came back, X had restarted and was at the login. The apt process is still running according to ps, is there anyway to bring this process up in a new terminal so I can see what its stuck on?
[01:14] <aperson> uRock, the conftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel
[01:14] <terov> MichaelH: my router?
[01:14] <MichealH> Just ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:15] <hiexpo> terov,  > new router
[01:15] <MichealH> Tero
[01:15] <Connor1> MichealH that works
[01:15] <terov> MichaelH: from wireless, it's the same thing: it works intermittently.
[01:15] <Connor1> It pinged once
[01:15] <Connor1> Then I get Host Unreachable
[01:15] <terov> hiexpo: right, the new router seemed to set it off, but now my laptop has trouble with all wireless networks.
[01:16] <MichealH> Connor1: that's... Weird
[01:16] <terov> hiexpo: regardless of restarts, using google DNS, etc. i thought it might be a dns problem, but it also does it with straight IP addresses now.
[01:16] <Connor1> aperson any ideas?
[01:16] <terov> hiexpo: (it being, huge latency after operating for anywhere between 1-10 minutes, and eventually all hosts become unreachable)
[01:17] <MichealH> Connor1: There's still some hope
[01:17] <aperson> Connor1, currently, no
[01:17] <Connor1> Dang
[01:17] <Connor1> This sucks
[01:17] <terov> hiexpo: have tried flushing my routing tables, etc.
[01:17] <csis> terov, you're the only one on the network ?
[01:17] <MichealH> Can you use googles main DNS Server Connor1
[01:17] <terov> csis: in this case, yes. at the coffee shop wifi, was one of several.
[01:17] <uRock> aperson, how do I bring the panels back? gnome-panels has disappeared
[01:17] <hiexpo> terov,  thats weird
[01:17] <uRock> completely
[01:17] <Connor1> MichealH what IP?
[01:17] <csis> terov, double check that anyway
[01:17] <terov> csis: and the only one having trouble.
[01:18] <csis> Oh
[01:18] <aperson> uRock, log out
[01:18] <MichealH> Connor1: I'm sure it's <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:18] <terov> hiexpo: extremely. i'm honestly beginning to wonder if the wireless hardware sustained some kind of physical bump.
[01:18] <uRock> aperson, there is no panel to click on to log out, how do I do it via terminal?
[01:18] <Connor1> MichealH one ping then destination host unreachable
[01:18] <Connor1> uRock logout
[01:18] <aperson> MichealH, google's is <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:18] <Connor1> Or exit
[01:18] <Connor1> I don't remember
[01:19] <hiexpo> terov,  sounds like it what card?
[01:19] <aperson> uRock, alt+f2 work?
[01:19] <MichealH> It sound like your pc is limiting your connection
[01:19] <terov> hiexpo: i forget--let me check.
[01:19] <Connor1> Same thing for both of those aperson
[01:19] <hiexpo> terov,  ok
[01:19] <dogmatic69> how can i view this folder? im getting bash: cd: mysql/: Permission denied
[01:19] <uRock> aperson, nope
[01:20] <MichealH> Connor1: can you ping annotjer pc
[01:20] <aperson> uRock, otherwise, hit ctrl+alt+f4 and login, then do a sudo service gdm restart
[01:20] <csis> dogmatic69, log in as root then set permissions
[01:20] <uRock> ctrl+alt+f2 does
[01:20] <Connor1> MichealH dunno
[01:20] <aperson> uRock, yeah, tty's should almost always work :)
[01:20] <dogmatic69> csis: i thought i was
[01:20] <Connor1> Should I try restarting my router agian?
[01:20] <Connor1> Again*
[01:20] <MichealH> Dogmatic69: use Audi
[01:20] <MichealH> *sudo
[01:21] <dogmatic69> hmmm... im pretty new so idk what audi is
[01:21] <MichealH> I hate iPods
[01:21] <csis> :D
[01:21] <dogmatic69> you cant do sudo ls
[01:21] <dogmatic69> or cd
[01:21] <dogmatic69> ive tried that
[01:21] <MichealH> Dogmatic69: I failed
[01:21] <terov> hiexpo, csis: incidentally, DNS lookups are almost always dreadfully slow--wired OR wireless. been using google's DNS without improvement.
[01:22] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: so you can ping your router sucessfully?
[01:22] <uRock> aperson, it is restarting, startx wouldn't work
[01:22] <MichealH> Connor1: Yes
[01:22] <aperson> uRock, why oh why did you startx?
[01:22] <dogmatic69> csis: so how do i 'login as root'
[01:22] <DirtBAG256> dogmatic69: su
[01:22] <uRock> how else would I get back to the GUI?
[01:22] <aperson> uRock, x should already be running on tty7
[01:22] <MichealH> Dirtbag256: One ping...  I now want to change some of those options, but when I apt-get remove and then install the package again, it no longer brings up the ncurses menu. How do I get it back?
[01:24] <DirtBAG256> dogmatic69: you woundnt :P
[01:24] <Connor1> MichealH now what?
[01:25] <MichealH> Can you connect?
[01:25] <uRock> aperson, I got them working now, thanx for the help
[01:25] <terov> hiexpo: before the new router? nope.
[01:25] <dogmatic69> sudo su ftw
[01:25] <aperson> uRock, yep
[01:25] <terov> hiexpo: worked without a hitch on other wireless networks as well.
[01:25] <dogmatic69> thanks
[01:25] <sacarlson> aperson: I compared sudo su and sudo -i and found little difference in env other than something to do with  cokies.  can you tell me what the difference is?
[01:25] <Connor1> MichealH my mint install could work fine
[01:25] <Connor1> I had used ndiswrapper to get wireless on it
[01:25] <terov> hiexpo: new router is the linksys e1000, which i'm going to replace. it is an awful machine.
[01:25] <hiexpo> kerov sounds like roter issue
[01:25] <Connor1> Not connecting on my lapto
[01:26] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: is this so?one ping to your router?
[01:26] <dogmatic69> DirtBAG256: would not what?
[01:26] <MichealH> Connor1: Try that
[01:26] <terov> hiexpo: indeed, but why would other wireless networks not work?
[01:26] <Connor1> Network is unrechable.
[01:26] <Connor1> Unreachable*
[01:26] <DirtBAG256> dogmatic69: guess the rt pw
[01:26] <aperson> sacarlson, lemme find my bookmark I have on the subject, but yeah, it mostly has to do with environment variables
[01:26] <rww> !root
[01:26] <hiexpo> terov,  not sure
[01:26] <dogmatic69> DirtBAG256: right... so there is a root pw on ubuntu that nobody knows?
[01:26] <rww> dogmatic69: no
[01:27] <DirtBAG256> dogmatic69: NO
[01:27] <Connor1> MichealH any ideas?
[01:27] <Jordan_U> sacarlson: sudo -i"
[01:27] <terov> hiexpo: will tinker around with it further and see if i can't get it ironed out.
[01:27] <terov> hiexpo: appreciate the thoughts.
[01:27] <MichealH> Connor1: Tried
[01:27] <kreeper> can anyone help me?
[01:27] <FBP> Hi. I need to install the JRE and the JDK. There are some guides I found online but I don't know enough about ubuntu to understand them yet.
[01:27] <Jordan_U> sacarlson: ... "sudo -i" is basically equivelent to "su -"
[01:27] <dogmatic69> DirtBAG256: so were you being sarcastic and it is something like 'root'
[01:27] <hiexpo> terov,  no prob good luck buddy
[01:27] <Connor1> MichealH it connected
[01:27] <hiexpo> there is no pw
[01:27] <MichealH> Connor1: try the thing you said minutes ago
[01:28] <Connor1> MichealH it pinged once
[01:28] <Connor1> No host is unreachable bullshit
[01:28] <DirtBAG256> dogmatic69: NO   its your user pw
[01:28] <rww> Connor1: watch your language, please
[01:28] <Connor1> Sorry
[01:28] <Connor1> A website isn't loading
[01:28] <Connor1> But it actually put start.ubuntu.com in the address bar instead of a google search link
[01:28] <MichealH> Connor1: so how have you had your drivers setup?
[01:28] <dogmatic69> DirtBAG256: i just said my user pw does not work...
[01:29] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: if you cant ping your router try resetting the router see if that helps
[01:29] <dogmatic69> sudo su was fine
[01:29] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 I already did
[01:29] <Connor1> And the router just pinged, I said that
[01:29] <dogmatic69> su
[01:29] <hiexpo> Connor1,  it always does that
[01:29] <MichealH> Dirtbag256: he did that
[01:29] <Connor1> MichealH I'm using ubuntu 10 because my wireless card is supported out of the box and I couldn't get ndiswrapper crap working on Crunchbang and apt-get on mint was hosed beyond repair
[01:29] <DirtBAG256> dogmatic69:  su pw is user pw!
[01:29] <dogmatic69> then entering my user pw is #fail
[01:29] <rww> DirtBAG256: no, sudo password is user password.
[01:30] <rww> su asks for the password of the user you're switching to, hence "su" (which defaults to "su root") not working on default Ubuntu setups.
[01:30] <sacarlson> Jordan_U: so if they are the same  why are people always saying sudo su is wrong and sudo -i is correct?
[01:30] <MichealH> Connor1: Try the Ubuntu one then!
[01:30] <rww> unless you're already root, hence "sudo su" working.
[01:30] <aperson> sacarlson, they're not the same
[01:30] <DirtBAG256> rww:  what?
[01:30] <Connor1> MichealH I'm on Ubuntu
[01:31] <DirtBAG256> sudo as a user same pw needed!
[01:31] <Connor1> Going to grab an ethernet cable I suppose
[01:31] <FBP> Hi I need to install the JRE, the JDK, and flash. I assume there are apt-get something or anothers, but I don't really know how that works.
[01:31] <rww> DirtBAG256: you said su, not sudo.
[01:31] <Gnea> 'sudo -i' is safer than 'sudo su'
[01:31] <uRock> Does the user ID need to be 1000 to be an admin?
[01:31] <DirtBAG256> rww:  ohh semantics!
[01:31] <rww> Gnea: why?
[01:31] <sailerboy> hey, does anyone use a TI-Nspire with ubuntu?
[01:31] <rww> DirtBAG256: they're rather different commands.
[01:31] <IdleOne> !java > FBP
[01:31] <rww> uRock: no, it needs to be in the admin group
[01:31] <bazhang> DirtBAG256, they're not the same
[01:31] <IdleOne> !flash > FBP
[01:31] <uRock> k, thanx
[01:31] <DirtBAG256> rww:  sure but no at user level
[01:32] <hiexpo> hi Gnea  long time
[01:32] <aperson> I think this sudo/su debate is getting to be !OT
[01:32] <MichealH> Connor1: can you download ndiswrapper
[01:32] <DirtBAG256> rww:  sure but not at user level
[01:32] <Gnea> rww: someone explained it in here long ago... that's a good question. my guess is that it doesn't use the 'su' binary, and -i keeps the loop within sudo.
[01:32] <Gnea> hiexpo: hiya
[01:32] <MichealH> From the mirrors
[01:32] <sailerboy> hey, does anyone use a TI-Nspire with ubuntu?
[01:32] <sporkboy> okay. so here's what I have: amd64 linux laptop, macbook that's not booting & has a busted cd drive, 1gig flash drive. anybody know if I can get ubuntu on the macbook this way?
[01:32] <Connor1> It's working via ethernet, detected automatically.
[01:32] <Connor1> MichealH
[01:33] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: try changing the cable   me thinks
[01:33] <MichealH> Connor1: can you connect via Ethernet?
[01:33] <xmad> sporkboy, can you boot with usb on your laptop
[01:33] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 I just said it works via a wired connection
[01:33] <Connor1> MichealH wired connection works
[01:33] <MichealH> Connor1, it's a wireless driver error
[01:34] <sporkboy> xmad: on mine, yes. can't get the mac to do it, though. (I /can/ get to the macs hdd via usb or firewire, if that helps)
[01:34] <Connor1> So what shall I do?
[01:34] <Connor1> I have internet on the laptop, I can do anything I need now
[01:34] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: you said you couldnt ping google
[01:34] <MichealH> Try the ndiswrapper
[01:34] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 I have a wired connection now...
[01:34] <MichealH> Connor1:^^
[01:34] <Connor1> MichealH I hate ndiswrapper :
[01:34] <Connor1> :L/
[01:34] <Connor1> :/
[01:35] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: ah ok wired s better
[01:35] <csis> well...obviously, we have a rapist in #ubuntu
[01:35]  * sporkboy wonders if he could make the oem install load on the firewire connection to the macs hdd.
[01:35] <Jordan_U> Connor1: Can you run "iwevent" and leave it running while you connect to wireless once and wait a few minutes (to see if the connection is being lost), then pastebin the output from iwevent?
[01:35] <rww> csis: That's inappropriate for this channel.
[01:36] <csis> rww, I apologize
[01:36] <DirtBAG256> csis: loser
[01:36] <bazhang> DirtBAG256, stop that
[01:36] <bp0> why don't volume buttons work in a fullscreen game in linux?
[01:36] <Connor1> Jordan_U trying
[01:36] <Gnea> !ubuntu | csis
[01:36] <MichealH> Dirtbag256: Be nice.
[01:37] <sporkboy> I'm gonna try this bs and see if it works.
[01:37] <DirtBAG256> well calling someone a rapist   what gives
[01:37] <MichealH> Can we please change the topic
[01:37] <rww> DirtBAG256: drop it, please
[01:37] <Connor1> Jordan_U wlan0 set mode:managed set frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) over and over
[01:38] <DirtBAG256> well just kick him then
[01:38] <bazhang> !ot | DirtBAG256
[01:39] <hiexpo> DirtBAG256,  relax all you will do is get a kick yourself
[01:39] <MichealH> !guidelines > Dirtbag256
[01:40] <csis> !guidelines > csis
[01:40] <Connor1> MichealH should I just suck it up and try ndiswrapper?
[01:41] <hiexpo> Connor1,  what is the wifi card again sorry <
[01:41] <MichealH> Connor1: Yes!
[01:41] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: stick with the wired connection
[01:41] <Connor1> DirtBAG256, I need wireless for school
[01:42] <Connor1> MichealH what's the command to show wireless devices?
[01:42] <Connor1> hiexpo I'm 99% sure it's a realtek 8187
[01:42] <rww> Connor1: lspci or lsusb
[01:42] <bazhang> Connor1, lspci to paste.ubuntu.com
[01:42] <rww> depending on how the device is connected
[01:42] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: ifconfig wano
[01:42] <MichealH> Connor1: Try the ifconfig -a That gave us the name
[01:42] <bazhang> DirtBAG256, that's not correct
[01:42] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: ifconfig wan0 sorry
[01:43] <rww> neither is that
[01:43] <MichealH> Connor1: It is that card
[01:43] <MichealH> A realtek
[01:43] <DirtBAG256> Connor1: ifconfig wlan0 !!!
[01:44] <bazhang> DirtBAG256, that's not right. please stop.
[01:44] <MichealH> Dirtbag256: Wrong
[01:44] <Connor1> hiexpo realtek 8187
[01:44] <rww> I note that rtl8187 and rtl8187b (for example) are rather different. giving the ls{pci,usb} output is probably a good idea
[01:45] <MichealH> Connor1: Pastebin it
[01:45] <hiexpo> ok heres the deal i will get you help but no bad remarks to my friend   about his nick   > deal
[01:45] <randomusr_> hello
[01:45] <DirtBAG256> so how is ifconfig wlan0 wrong?
[01:46] <randomusr_> lol
[01:46] <hiexpo> Connor1, ^
[01:46] <MichealH> !hi | randomiser_
[01:46] <MichealH> Poops
[01:46] <randomusr_> DirtBAG256, what are you trying to do?
[01:47] <MichealH> *oopp
[01:47] <Connor1> DirtBAG256 it doesn't show my wireless device
[01:47] <Connor1> Just "ethernet"
[01:47] <MichealH> That went wrong
[01:51] <MichealH> Connor1: were running out of things to suggest
[01:51] <MichealH> Have you tried the wrapper?
[01:52] <hiexpo> Connor1,  - watch for pure_hate and ask him nicely if he can help you solve your pron

[01:58] <hiexpo> md5sum
[01:58] <MichealH> Did you check the md5sum?
[01:58] <Dany___> no because the same cd runs normally in my mother's notebook
[01:58] <Dany___> yes
[01:58] <Dany___> it's all normal
[01:58] <sacarlson> hiexpo: well I had the problem helping someone a few days ago when he started it was wlan0 but later he pasted me his ifconfig and it had changed.   Provide your language and the select "check disk for defects"
[02:00] <Connor1> MichealH I fixed it
[02:00] <MichealH> Connor1, No Bad! :P
[02:00] <Dany___> i already done that...but anyway, the same disc goes perfectly in my mother's laptop

[02:02] <MichealH> Dany__, what?
[02:02] <sacarlson> hiexpo: I think it might have been a problem with two drivers trying to run the same usb wifi device.  we never got the device to work correctly.
[02:02] <hiexpo> sacarlson,  yup
[02:02] <MichealH> Connor1:  What'd you do?

[02:19] <sudoer> whats all that about?
[02:19] <white_magic> not sure where the app got installed
[02:19] <sudoer> 10.10
[02:19] <bazhang> sudoer, #ubuntu+1 for that
[02:20] <MichealH> Sudoer: File a bug in Launchpad
[02:20] <sudoer> MichealH: isnt everyone using this already?
[02:20] <sdk> Heyas all.  I thought the channle for beta/unstable/next release of Ubuntu was #ubuntu+, but it seems I am mistaken.  Could anyone kindly point me to the channel for 10.10?
[02:20] <bazhang> MichealH, its maverick
[02:20] <bazhang> sudoer, #ubuntu+1 not here
[02:21] <sdk> That's it.. ubuntu+1!  Thanks bazhang!  Not addressed to me, but helpful nonetheless.  :) Peace.
[02:21] <MichealH> Bazhang, ahhh okay :D
[02:21] <bazhang> sdk, #ubuntu+1
[02:21] <bazhang> sdk :)
[02:22] <MichealH> Connor1: back yet?
[02:22] <sudoer> sorry, it is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[02:22] <bazhang> MichealH, has he provided a pastebin of lspci and lsusb yet?
[02:22] <sudoer> bazhang: is this the right channel for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ?
[02:23] <MichealH> bashing, hasn't seemed so
[02:23] <bazhang> sudoer, yep
[02:23] <ND-movie> hello
[02:23] <bazhang> MichealH, we need to see that
[02:23] <MichealH> Sorry bazhang
[02:23] <sudoer> so, why would such a basic package fail
[02:23] <sudoer> i jsut want to install some programs :(
[02:23] <ND-movie> hello
[02:23] <ND-movie> could someone help me
[02:23] <MichealH> I'm gonna have to ask him
[02:23] <ND-movie> i'm trying to set up a serial console
[02:23] <ND-movie> and i'm running into problems
[02:23] <ND-movie> the tutorial i'm using uses /etc/inittab
[02:24] <bazhang> ND-movie, please easy on the enter key
[02:24] <ND-movie> which ubuntu no longer uses, so i'm stuck :(
[02:24] <bazhang> !upstart | ND-movie
[02:24] <ND-movie> i know
[02:25] <ND-movie> but its not a plain vty100
[02:25] <MichealH> bazhang: beat me to it!
[02:25] <ND-movie> ii'm having trouble configuring the terminal setting (dimensioins, etc)
[02:25] <ND-movie> because its an old TRS-80 model 100
[02:25] <bazhang> !enter | ND-movie
[02:25] <ND-movie> fair enough
[02:26] <bazhang> ND-movie, its really hard to understand your issue when you do that
[02:26] <uRock> what command do I use to recursively change the permissions in every folder in home to 777?
[02:26] <MichealH> It's for your benefit :-)
[02:26] <ND-movie> well let me ask you guys this: do you know where the replacement is for /etc/inittab?
[02:26] <ND-movie> uRock
[02:26] <ND-movie> uRock: chmod -R 777 *
[02:26] <uRock> ?
[02:26] <uRock> thanx
[02:26] <MichealH> URock, Why would you want to do that?
[02:27] <badnaam> can someone help me with sound issuesplease?
[02:27] <MichealH> ND-movie it's on the etc folder
[02:27] <ND-movie> http://www.crackmonkey.org/~octal/mod100.xhtml
[02:28] <ND-movie> if you look in that link
[02:28] <uRock> cause when I instlled 10.04 over 9.10 it screwed up the themes and I can't fix them so I created a new account and am coping everything but confs over to the new account, MichealH
[02:28] <ND-movie> theres  a config file for trs100
[02:28] <ND-movie> urock: dont chmod then
[02:28] <ND-movie> chown
[02:28] <ND-movie> change the _owner_ of the files
[02:28] <uRock> k
[02:28] <ZykoticK9> uRock, careful with that 777 command.  You probably don't want all your files executable.
[02:28] <uRock> thanx
[02:28] <xangua> what's wrong with themes uRock¿
[02:28] <ND-movie> chown -R newuser:newgroup *
[02:29] <Leemp> Question: When mounting a drive that is ext3 formatted, do you use the type of ext2 when mounting it? (mount -t ext /dev/foo /bar) ?
[02:29] <MichealH> Conn
[02:29] <MichealH> Connor1?
[02:29] <uRock> thanx ND
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> Leemp:  use ext3
[02:30] <ND-movie> no problemo
[02:30] <ZykoticK9> Leemp, mount without a -t should work for ext3
[02:30] <Leemp> Dr_Willis: K, i had a drive give a bad superblock error when i used type ext3, but when i used ext2 it loaded fine
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> Leemp:  mount should auto-detect it if you dont use a -t XXX option
[02:30] <Leemp> Dr_Willis: And if i did not use it, it couldn't figure out the fs type
[02:31] <NightDragon> MichealH: do you know where in /etc? thats a pretty big folder lol
[02:31] <Leemp> Dr_Willis: I hate my Drobo. :(
[02:31] <NightDragon> specifically, where the terminal config files are stored
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> Leemp:  thats odd.. time to backup and fsck the drive.
[02:32] <Leemp> Dr_Willis: From what i've read fsck doesn't help much with Drobos.
[02:32] <Leemp> Dr_Willis: I'm thinking about migrating away from it.
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> never heard the term drobos befor
[02:32] <uRock> xangua, I wasn't ignoring you, I have already started moving everything and gave up fixing the theming in the old account
[02:32] <uRock> xangua, thanx for offering
[02:33] <Leemp> Dr_Willis: It's nice, if you use their tools. heh. It's basically a raid device. A nice clean box handling all the raid work. But Linux is a whole 'nother story.
[02:33] <MichealH> NightDragon: in the init.x folders (where x is a number)
[02:34] <Connor1> MichealH I'm back
[02:34] <MichealH> Horay
[02:34] <Connor1> wlan0 is bringing up no results
[02:34] <MichealH> Okay
[02:34] <Connor1> iwconfig outputs "802.11bgn"
[02:34] <MichealH> Can you post the results if lspci and lsusb ???
[02:35] <MichealH> In a pastebin
[02:35] <MichealH> :-)
[02:35] <NightDragon> MichealH: There is no init.#, just init, and init.d
[02:36] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  what are you liooking for exactly?
[02:36] <ZykoticK9> NightDragon, that's all you are suppose to have ;)
[02:36] <MichealH> NightDragon, it's in i
[02:36] <MichealH> *init.d
[02:37] <ZykoticK9> NightDragon, init = upstart, init.d = old-school
[02:37] <MichealH> Connor1: You running them commands?
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> init = newer upstart type init scripts.. init.d = older stuff. :)
[02:37] <Connor1> MichealH yes
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> heh.  many of the things in init.d are actually links to the init upstart scripts last i checked
[02:37] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, great minds think alike and fools seldom differ ;)
[02:37] <Connor1> http://fpaste.org/sAva/
[02:38] <MichealH> Connor1
[02:39] <NightDragon> Dr_Willis: ZykoticK9, MichealH: the problem is that i'm having a hard time finding where the console settings are defined
[02:39] <NightDragon> for example
[02:39] <NightDragon> vt100 is one of the console profiles
[02:39] <NightDragon> its defined somewhere, i cant find that somewhere
[02:39] <Connor1> MichealH
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  what console settings are you talking about exzctly?
[02:39] <NightDragon> Well since i'm setting this up on a Model 100, its not exactly vt100 compatable
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  'settings' are not in the init.d or init dirs.. those are init scripts that run carious servic ew
[02:40] <NightDragon> so i have to make my server talk model100
[02:40] <NightDragon> (i know that)
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  start from the begining perhps.. You are using a SERIAL terminal?
[02:40] <NightDragon> yes.
[02:40] <MichealH> bazhang, http://fpaste.org/sAva/
[02:41] <NightDragon> Dr_Willis: I'm trying to follow this tut: http://www.crackmonkey.org/~octal/mod100.xhtml
[02:41] <bazhang> As of Lucid 10.04, just update linux kernel from lucid-updates.  MichealH for that
[02:42] <Connor1> MichealH
[02:42] <rookfood> hey, anyone here own a dell refurbished monitor?
[02:42] <MichealH> Bazhang: just as I suggested
[02:42] <bazhang> As of Lucid 10.04, just update linux kernel from lucid-updates.   Connor1
[02:42] <bazhang> !ot | rookfood
[02:42] <MichealH> Connor1: yes?
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  that tutorial is rather dated.. initab isent used by default any more. if you need to run a special command at boot time for that devcce. you could run it from rc.local as an alternative
[02:43] <Connor1> MichealH you beeped me first
[02:43] <NightDragon> i know
[02:43] <NightDragon> thats why i'm here :)
[02:43] <FreshPrince> what is "backend" i see this on "top" it uses a lot of cpu ussage about 70%
[02:43] <NightDragon> my issue isnt running it,
[02:43] <Connor1> alias wlan0 r8192se isn't working MichealH
[02:43] <NightDragon> if you notice... there is a special term configuration on that page for the trs100
[02:43] <NightDragon> i want to know where to put that information.
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  thats in the termcap file it seems..
[02:43] <Connor1> MichealH is my wireless card pci?
[02:44] <MichealH> Connor1: have you got the latest updates?
[02:44] <bazhang> Connor1, 8172
[02:44] <Connor1> MichealH yes
[02:44] <Connor1> bazhang I know
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> !findtermcap
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> !find termcap
[02:44] <NightDragon> Dr_Willis: well i'm assuming that even on the most recent ubuntu dist, that 'vt100' is defined somewhere, yes?
[02:45] <Connor1> bazhang do I want the SE?
[02:45] <Connor1> Nevermind, dumb question
[02:45] <MichealH> Connor1: New or old kernel?
[02:45] <bazhang> Connor1, could you pastebin your sources.list please
[02:45] <MichealH> Connor2: worth a try
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  from excploreing etc - in /etc/terminfo/README it points to /lib/terminfo/v/vt100   :)
[02:45] <Connor1> MichealH new
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  so the termcap file has been totally revamped also  :)
[02:46] <bazhang> Connor1, and the output of lsb_release -a as well please
[02:46] <cy4ka> guys please join #fuckaz - a very weird, yet interesting channel, u'll be surprised
[02:46] <cy4ka> guys please join #fuckaz - a very weird, yet interesting channel, u'll be surprised
[02:46] <FloodBot3> cy4ka: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:46] <NightDragon> gotcha
[02:46] <NightDragon> thanks
[02:46] <Connor1> bazhang where be sources.list
[02:46] <NightDragon> Dr_Willis: i *think* i know where to set the getty line, you just told me what i needed to know, thank you :)
[02:46] <Connor1> I think I might have the solution
[02:47] <Connor1> Don't tell me to run anything yet
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  the getty line. you could run from the console as a test. or rc.local
[02:47] <bazhang> Connor1, cat /etc/apt/sources.list and copy to paste.ubuntu.com please
[02:47] <Connor1> Don't tell me to run anything yet
[02:47] <MichealH> Grr I'm
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> Ive not used a serial terminal on a machine in years. :)  I still got one in the garrage
[02:47] <seekwill> Does using LVM add IO overhead? Or is it pretty light?
[02:47] <MichealH> Nit thinking!
[02:48] <bazhang> MichealH, if he is running the most updated version of lucid then his card is supported. just want to check his sources.list and lsb_release -a output to confirm
[02:48] <MichealH> Connor1: Works?
[02:48] <Connor1> MichealH I don't know yet
[02:49] <NightDragon> Dr_Willis: well considering that this server (a simple file server) is in my dorm room, and i really dont want to put a monitor and keyboard up here, i'm thinking an uber small serial terminal is the way to go :)
[02:49] <MichealH> bazhang, Yeah it's always best to check :)
[02:52] <NightDragon> Dr_Willis: what is the replacement for /etc/inittab? where all of the getty lines are?
[02:52] <MichealH> !patience
[02:52] <edbian> Will these be included in Debian 6?  http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/08/20/234248/Open-Source-2D-3D-Drivers-For-ATI-Radeon-HD-5000-Series
[02:53] <Connor1> MichealH
[02:53] <bazhang> edbian, try in #debian
[02:53] <MichealH> Connor1: yes?
[02:53] <Connor1> I'm in /usr/src, how do I label my desktop as a directory in a command
[02:53] <edbian> whoops
[02:53] <Connor1> sudo tar xzvf /desktop/example.tar.gz ?
[02:53] <DirtBAG256> hi all!
[02:53] <MichealH> Connor1: ~/
[02:54] <Connor1> Thanks MichealH
[02:54] <MichealH> !hi | dirtbag256
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  the whole init system is moving to Upstart. inittab hasent been used in a long time
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> !upstart | NightDragon
[02:54] <Connor1> sudo cp -rf firmware/RTL8192SE /lib/firmware
[02:55] <Connor1> No such file or directory
[02:55] <Connor1> firmware/RTL
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  this is why i mentioned rc.local as a easy place to put it.
[02:55] <bazhang> Connor1, that's not what you need
[02:55] <NightDragon> mmkay
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  or make a upstart init script for it. (harder)
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> !inittab
[02:55] <bazhang> Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8172 (rev 10)  Connor1 not 8192
[02:56] <NightDragon> Dr_Willis: okay, so would i want to put this in there?
[02:56] <NightDragon> S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -h ttyS1 9600 trs100
[02:56] <MichealH> I second bazhang
[02:56] <NightDragon> or just the getty part of that?
[02:56] <NightDragon> (from /sbin/getty on)
[02:56] <bazhang> Connor1, please pastebin sources.list and lsb_release -a
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  yes...  since the other parts are Inittab specific.. and NOT a command. :)
[02:56] <NightDragon> mmk tyvm
[02:56] <astrozombie138> hello
[02:56] <MichealH> Hello Astros
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  you can test the thing by just running 'sudo getty -h ttyS1 9600 trs100 '
[02:57] <astrozombie138> I'm having trouble using the CLI installer, im unable to connect to WPA access ppoints
[02:57] <MichealH> Phwew I'm
[02:57] <Connor1> bazhang g>
[02:58] <astrozombie138> but with the same computer using OpenSuse's CLI installer I can just fine
[02:58] <Connor1> For Realtek 8172 owners, while this guide talk about using the 8192se driver it works for the 8172 as well.
[02:58] <NightDragon> well whadya know, its not working
[02:58] <MichealH> Reeeeeaaaallly tired
[02:58] <NightDragon> isnt it supposed to be ttyS0
[02:58] <MichealH> Connot1 it works?
[02:58] <astrozombie138> so the debian installer doesnt have WPA support?
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> NightDragon:  totally depends on the serial port you are connected to.
[02:58] <Connor1> MichealH I'm getting an error
[02:58] <MichealH> Connor1 ^^
[02:58] <MichealH> Ahhh
[02:58] <Connor1> sudo cp -rf firmware/RTL8192SE /lib/firmware
[02:59] <Connor1> It gives me cannot stat 'firmware/RTL8192SE': No such file or directory
[02:59] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Realtek%208172   Connor1
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> Connor1:  and is the firmware directory in your current working directory?
[02:59] <MichealH> Connor if it's in you home use ~/ infront
[03:00] <rafazed> hey im bored, what can I do in ubuntu to have fun??
[03:00] <bazhang> As of Lucid 10.04, just update linux kernel from lucid-updates. Connor1 for that nic
[03:00] <xangua> !ot > rafazed
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> rafazed:  read man pages.
[03:00] <Connor1> bazhang what exactly is lucid-updaets
[03:00] <rafazed> srry
[03:01] <MichealH> Connor1: updates for lucid
[03:01] <bazhang> Connor1, would you please give us that pastebin?
[03:01] <Connor1> bazhang which one?
[03:01] <MichealH> Oh 3 am
[03:01] <bazhang> Connor1, sources.list and lsb_release -a
[03:02] <Connor1> bazhang not right now
[03:02] <Connor1> bazhang how do I open lucid-updates?
[03:02] <Connor1> Is it just the update manager?
[03:02] <bazhang> Connor1, lucid there is no need to do the compiling
[03:02] <Connor1> I'm on Lucid.
[03:02] <MichealH> Connor1: Were. Trying to jelp
[03:02] <bazhang> Connor1, need the pastebin to troubleshoot.
[03:02] <Connor1> I'm sorry.
[03:02] <Connor1> I'll get the pastebin right now
[03:03] <astrozombie138> guess I'm going back to Suse Then
[03:03] <Connor1> bazhang where was sources.list
[03:03] <Dice-Man>  gparted suck on the livecd
[03:03] <Dice-Man> what a pity
[03:03] <Connor1> Dice-Man gparted live cd rules
[03:03] <Dice-Man> yep
[03:03] <bazhang> Connor1, /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> Dice-Man:  cant say that ive ever had an issue with it.. state the problem will be more productive.
[03:03] <Connor1> bazhang "No LSB modules are available"
[03:03] <Dice-Man> hum
[03:04] <bazhang> Connor1, pastebin the full output please, its more than one line
[03:04] <Connor1> fpaste.org/qyky
[03:04] <Dice-Man> Dr_Willis, it does not run but i'm not on linux right now
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> Connor1:  it says more then that. :) Ive no idea why it alsays says that  thing about the module
[03:04] <Dice-Man> i cannot give more precise infos
[03:04] <Connor1> fpaste.org/l4mr
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> Dice-Man:  odd.. its ran for me.. we cant help then.
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> Dice-Man:  there are also dedicated 'gparted' live cd's that include newer versions and other tools  - a must have for a PC toolbox.
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> I dident think gparted was included by default on the desktop cd either.
[03:05] <Dice-Man> it is
[03:05] <Dice-Man> but i think the use of the gparted livecd is sure
[03:05] <MichealH> www.fpaste.org/l4mr
[03:06] <MichealH> Argh!
[03:06] <raiffa> anyone know how I can map likewise-open login names to something that does not contain backslashes? for some applications, the backslash in 'MYDOMAIN\username' causes problems.
[03:06] <MTecknology> what package does gnome-mouse-properties come in?
[03:06] <MichealH> Silly client
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> !find gnome-mouse-properties
[03:06] <MTecknology> thanks
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  one of those. :) im guessing the 3rd
[03:07] <Connor1> bazhang did that help?
[03:08] <bazhang> Connor1, you are on ethernet now correct? and fully updated?
[03:08] <Connor1> The updates are applying right now
[03:08] <Connor1> ANd yes
[03:08] <Connor1> And*
[03:08] <Connor1> I'm on my desktop, my laptop is next to me
[03:09] <bazhang> Connor1, because your release version shows 10.04 and the most up to date is 10.04.1
[03:09] <Connor1> Oh I see
[03:09] <Connor1> Well I'm installing every update that was on the list
[03:09] <aurilliance> I'm trying to do the following "tar --help | grep -f" as In, I want to search through the tar help for the phrase "-f"
[03:09] <bazhang> Connor1, you'll need to get it going without the ethernet you realize
[03:09] <MichealH> ... That'll be alot
[03:09] <aurilliance> But grep keeps reading the -f as an arg. How can I escape it?
[03:09] <Connor1> bazhang...which is why I'm trying to get my wireless card working
[03:09] <bazhang> Connor1, then your wireless will work
[03:09] <Connor1> MichealH I have a fast internet connection
[03:10] <Connor1> 253 m
[03:10] <Connor1> 253 mb*
[03:10] <Connor1> Isn't a lot
[03:10] <Dr_Willis> My remease shows 10.04 but Description is --> Description:Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
[03:10] <MichealH> Phew
[03:10] <bazhang> Connor1, ie startup without the wired connection (ethernet plugged in)
[03:10] <Connor1> bazhang I'll do that when the updates are finished
[03:11] <bazhang> Connor1, then we can troubleshoot, once wireless is going
[03:11] <Connor1> Okay
[03:11] <Connor1> Thanks for your help
[03:11] <MichealH> This may be my chance for a testimonial!
[03:11] <MichealH> heh
[03:11] <MTecknology> is gnome-mouse-properties supposed to have anything about configuring the area for scrolling on the right side of the touchpad?
[03:12] <MichealH> Conner1: how helpful have I been?
[03:12] <aurilliance> nm, I got it (need a double backslash)
[03:14] <MichealH> I nearly fell asleep there
[03:14] <MichealH> I weakly need some sleep
[03:15] <bazhang> MichealH, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[03:15] <MichealH> Yeah
[03:16] <MichealH> Connor1: updates done yet?
[03:17] <Connor1> MichealH almost
[03:17] <Connor1> My laptop isn't a speed demon
[03:17] <Connor1> It's fast enough for me though
[03:17] <MichealH> Yeah
[03:18] <MichealH> My batterys flat :(
[03:18] <MichealH> Nearly
[03:18] <robertzaccour> oh ok
[03:18] <rww> there you go :)
[03:19] <robertzaccour> is it possible to get the jaunty theme? that one is my favorite
[03:20] <Dr_Willis> !theme
[03:20] <Dr_Willis> robertzaccour:  proberly avail at the various theme sites.
[03:20] <Dr_Willis> robertzaccour:  or it may be in the repos - not installed by default
[03:20] <robertzaccour> Dr_Willis, still looking
[03:20] <headkase314> Chicken, how many nicks you going to go through?
[03:21] <rww> ubottu: nickspam | Chikin
[03:21] <Chikin> Was trying to find an animal that wasnt registered
[03:22] <MTecknology> asus is supposed to have excellent linux support, right?
[03:22] <Chikin> I bet 90% of the animal nicks are in #Ubuntu
[03:22] <rww> Chikin: try /msg nickserv info nicknamehere to see if something's registered
[03:22] <MTecknology> Chikin: /msg nickserv info Chicken
[03:22] <Chikin> Ty
[03:23] <MichealH> Connor1: done?
[03:23] <Connor1> MichealH yes
[03:23] <MTecknology> what's the restricted drivers tool called?
[03:23] <Connor1> Just logged in
[03:23] <Connor1> I restarted
[03:24] <MichealH> Okay and do they work?
[03:24] <rww> MTecknology: package name jockey-gtk (or -qt), System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers
[03:24] <headkase314> MTecknology, System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  jockey-gtk is the command to start it from command line
[03:24] <Connor1> MichealH you want me to unplug my wire right?
[03:24] <MTecknology> thanks :)
[03:25] <MichealH> Yes
[03:25] <MichealH> Let the wireless try
[03:25] <Connor1> Connection Established
[03:25] <MichealH> Does it wor
[03:26] <MichealH> Ohhh
[03:26] <Connor1> Success
[03:26] <MichealH> Jackpot
[03:26] <MTecknology> I guess there's nothing proprietary to even install on here
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  depends on your video and wireless normally...
[03:26] <MichealH> It's took 4 hours bit it is
[03:27] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  on a few of my laptops. with intel video and the proper wireless cards.. they are 100% out of the box supported.
[03:27] <MTecknology> Dr_Willis: I just bought a new laptop - other told me that it thinks I need a new one
[03:27] <MichealH> Connor1: wanna write me a testimonial?
[03:28] <MichealH> Connor1?
[03:28] <Flannel> MichealH: This isn't an appropriate place to solicit those, please speak with the teams you've been interacting with.
[03:28] <MTecknology> Dr_Willis: I got an Asus K501
[03:28] <MichealH> Okay flannel
[03:29] <nulled> can someone please try to access http://pxmb.com and tellme if it loads in a browseer ok?
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  i got a toshiba x505 the other day. :) 18.4 Display. 2 HD's  - Runs Ubuntu great. :)
[03:29] <rww> nulled: doesn't work for me
[03:29] <nulled> ok thx
[03:29] <FBP> Hi. I manged to install java, but it installed the 64-bit jvm. It seems that applets will only run under the 32-bit jvm but it was not installed. How can I get it?
[03:29] <nulled> how about http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[03:30] <rww> nulled: it attempts to redirect to pxmb.com and thus fails
[03:30] <bazhang> nulled, negative
[03:30] <rww> http://www.pxmb.com/index.php , to be specific
[03:30] <nulled> right.. ok well dns is down thx for helping
[03:30] <MTecknology> Dr_Willis: you should help me with this one? :D
[03:31] <MTecknology> Dr_Willis: If you were so lucky - we should share my joy :D
[03:31] <rww> nulled: your DNS record points to <IP_ADDRESS>, not .16
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  with most of the laptops i try uibuntu on these days.. its install.. and go..  - perhaps plug in a wired networking cable to get wireless dfrivers downloaded.. and thats about it.
[03:33] <MTecknology> wireless was perfect at least - thank god it wasn't broadcom
[03:33] <rww> my bcm4312 works fine with the non-free driver, tyvm
[03:33] <rww> takes five minutes to set up
[03:33] <Connor1> I feel dumb now...
[03:34] <ziroday> Hi, is it possible to take the last 500 lines or so outputted to the terminal and save them in a text file?
[03:34] <MTecknology> Dr_Willis: I have all but 1 Fn key not working, the side scroll on the touchpad not working, the screen brightness doesn't work, and the screen does some weird stuff sometimes
[03:34] <MTecknology> Dr_Willis: aside from that... it's working perfect
[03:35] <MTecknology> Dr_Willis: I'm tempted to return this, bring an ubuntu live cd with me, then make my selection based on support
[03:35] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  test it out in the next release first. it may all work better.
[03:35] <MTecknology> good point
[03:35] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  it seems to happen that way a lot.. laptop with liots of issues .. next reelase.. it all works better.
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  if nothing else you can report bugs and perhaps get them fixed in the next release
[03:36] <MTecknology> I'll start downloading live cd's for both
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> Given the varity of laptops out there.. its amazing ubuntu works as well as it does in so m any of them.
[03:36] <MTecknology> indeed
[03:37] <Dr_Willis> I moved the same ubuntu install from a low end nvidia video laptop.. to my new High end laptop. :) worked with no twiddling other then setting the res properly
[03:37] <MTecknology> Warning: This image is oversized (which is a bug) and will not fit onto a standard 700MB CD. However, you may still test it using a DVD, a USB drive, or a virtual machine.
[03:37] <MTecknology> yay
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  yep. works in progres for 10.10
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> I always use flash drives.
[03:38] <MTecknology> Dr_Willis: ya, but I don't have any dvd's laying around - sucky
[03:38] <MTecknology> I don't have a flash drive either :P
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> How can you NOT have a dozen of those things.. :)
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> I got a 'key hook' shelf with like 10 of them hanging on it.
[03:39] <MTecknology> lack of funds
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> 4GB = 10$ i saw today.
[03:39] <MTecknology> they're that cheap now? wow
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> seen 2GB on sale for $5
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> seen 2gb for $1 after rebates befor also. (sales special)
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> 16gb = $29 i saw on sale (but they were out)
[03:40] <akrill> daaaaamn has this channel grown.
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> akrill:  actually its a slow day. :) on release day ive seen 3000+ in here.
[03:41] <akrill> sheesh. i havent been in here in years :-p
[03:41] <Dr_Willis> I tend to avoide the channel for a week after release. :) Too hectic
[03:41] <akrill> xD
[03:42] <akrill> anyone here experienced with creating EBS-based AMIs from one of the existing EBS-baed lucid amd64 AMIs?
[03:42] <akrill> im having some bizarre issues
[03:42] <akrill> (this is of course in regard to ubuntu on EC2)
[03:42] <Dice-Man> normal
[03:48] <akrill> ah HA!
[03:48] <akrill> i think i figured it out
[03:48] <itheos> hello!! my pdf files dont open in maximized window. i have to maximize them everytime. they open in random sizes. what can be the solution?
[03:49] <itheos> i use document viewer
[03:50] <itheos> also the brightness of my screen becomes max when i restart the laptop. and i have to set it again after every restart
[03:54] <[sleepy]> Sup
[03:56] <_DGM_> is there any way to remove/hide that username+status menu thing? part of "indicator applet session"
[03:57] <SynFlag> click derecho quitar del panel
[03:57] <_DGM_> sorry.. what?
[03:58] <repnop> _DGM_: right click on it and select remove from panel
[03:58] <bazhang> SynFlag, english please
[03:58] <Dr_Willis> _DGM_:  thats the Me Menu I think. :)
[03:58] <_DGM_> repnop: there isnt an option for that.. hence the question:P
[03:59] <Dr_Willis> Hopefully someday soon the whole system-tray-panel-indicadator area will get all cleaned up.
[03:59] <_DGM_> its taking up space on my netbook.. and since i'm not into all that social network crap.. i could use that space much better :P
[03:59] <Dr_Willis> _DGM_:  are you using the NETBOOK interface?
[03:59] <_DGM_> it seems a bit weird to me canonical seems to think they need to put a whole username on a screen that is already to small as it is :P
[03:59] <_DGM_> Dr_Willis: ye
[03:59] <SynFlag> bazhang: what for? if repnop has become my personal translator XD
[04:00] <Dr_Willis> _DGM_:  then you need to basically make a 'gnome desktop' session that clones the netbook interface. then you can customize it. the Netbook interface is locked down for some odd reason.
[04:00] <bazhang> SynFlag, this is an english only channel, if you need help in other languages there are ubuntu channels for that
[04:00] <_DGM_> Dr_Willis: the option to remove wasnt there on my desktop either though i checked
[04:00] <cookies123> question: i'm new to all this... is it permissible to pose questions which are only vaguely relevant... also to whom should such questions be directed?
[04:01] <Dr_Willis> http://maketecheasier.com/unlock-gnome-panel-in-ubuntu-netbook-edition-une/2010/04/25
[04:01] <bazhang> cookies123, ubuntu support here; unrelated in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:01] <SynFlag> bazhang: actually i dont need any help, in fact i come to help
[04:01] <Dr_Willis> _DGM_:  its here on my Desktop version..  i just looked
[04:02] <_DGM_> Dr_Willis: hmm strange. either way thanks for the link :) i'll give that a go
[04:02] <cookies123> thanks
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> _DGM_:  i found the kde netbook intface better in a great many ways.
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> _DGM_:  but with 10.10 theres that new Unity Interface.
[04:03] <Zelozelos> someone please tell me theres an easy way to fix, i ws messin around with gnome-do's settings and it all-of-a-sudden quit on me, then i thought i should just restart to fix, and now i can see my desktop, but cant do anything with it, also the panels arent displaying
[04:04] <Zelozelos> i can get to command lines via ctrl+alt f(whatev)
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> Zelozelos:  so can you get to a desktop at all?
[04:05] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanel
[04:05] <Zelozelos> Dr_Willis, i do get the desktop background and icons, but i cant click on anything
[04:05] <dogmatic69> is it possible to use wild cards in hosts file
[04:06] <Zelozelos> Dr_Willis, i tried removing gnome-do, purging it, reinstalling it, it makes no diff
[04:06] <dogmatic69> like ::1 *.dev
[04:06] <dogmatic69> that does not work, but something like that
[04:06] <Dr_Willis> Zelozelos:  lesson for the day.. remioving stuff via the package manager does NOT NOT NOT - remove the users settings in their home dirs. :)
[04:07] <Dr_Willis> Zelozelos:  theres some user settings. you can proberlyd elete to reset things.
[04:07] <Zelozelos> heh i ws just saying to myself i should do a backup today ;(
[04:07] <Zelozelos> i thought purge would remove their settings
[04:07] <Dr_Willis> clean out the users home dir/settings.. see if that works.. or as a test. make a new user. see if it works for them
[04:07] <Dr_Willis> Zelozelos:  purge does NOT NOT NOT touch the USERS settings in their HOME directory. :)
[04:07]  * Dr_Willis tries to make that VERY clear
[04:08] <Zelozelos> i attempted to make a new user via prompt but i couldnt quite fig it out
[04:08] <Dr_Willis> Zelozelos:  if you had 1000+ users.. and removed gnome-do would you want all 1000+ users to lose their settings? :)
[04:08] <Dr_Willis> sudo adduser billgates
[04:08] <Dr_Willis> enter info,, login as billgates
[04:08] <Zelozelos> dont i need 2 set a password for the user?
[04:09] <Dr_Willis> Zelozelos:  it asks....
[04:09] <Zelozelos> ahh
[04:09] <Zelozelos> ok
[04:09] <Zelozelos> ill do that then migrate to the new user agin ;)
[04:09] <roky> So, I have installed the minimal ubuntu. If I choose the pre-configured selection of packages for ubuntu desktop, Will it install everything that the live cd normally would have? Because I don't want that. Or will it just install a "base" ubuntu with gnome.
[04:09] <Dr_Willis> If theres no settings in gnome you want to save.. ->  http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[04:09] <Zelozelos> what if i just delete the gnome-do settings?
[04:10] <_DGM_> Dr_Willis: it unlocked my bar but if i remove it it also removes the shutdown button :P oh well
[04:10] <Dr_Willis> Zelozelos:  prove its a gnome-do issue.. :) it may not be a gnome do issue. I dont knwo where the gnome-do settings are at.
[04:10] <Dr_Willis> Zelozelos:  they are somewhere in those dirs that url mentions i imagine
[04:10] <Zelozelos> heh. prob easier just to migrate
[04:11] <Dr_Willis> Zelozelos:  easier to just remove the users setting files and let them get remade
[04:12] <Zelozelos> so just sudo ill give that a try 1st. ty Dr_Willis
[04:12] <Zelozelos> rofl
[04:12] <Dr_Willis> so just sudo? Huh?
[04:13] <Zelozelos> that ws 1st half of an idea uncompleted....heh...kinda sums me up then rofl
[04:13] <Dr_Willis> ~/.config/autostart is where gnome-do is getting auto started from also,.. you could disable it from there and see if its in fsact a gnome-do issue
[04:14] <Zelozelos> brb
[04:14] <Dr_Willis> I think we need to track down a 'clean out settings' tool :)
[04:14] <Dr_Willis> for users settings
[04:15] <bryan_r59> hey. what sorts of things can i do to make Ubuntu cooler, more features, and stable/fast? all at once
[04:15] <spinningcompass> bryan_r59: Upgrade to Windows 7?
[04:15] <Dr_Willis> bryan_r59:  how.. vague..
[04:15] <bryan_r59> what
[04:15] <Dr_Willis> bryan_r59:  check out the various articals at teh OMGubuntu  web site. theres some neat articals on there .
[04:16] <Dr_Willis> Theres extra themes/compiz plugins in teh repos. Not installed by default also.
[04:16] <bryan_r59> is it a .com
[04:16] <IdleOne> bryan_r59: yes
[04:17] <Dr_Willis> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/clicompanion-makes-getting-comfortable.html
[04:18] <roky> I have a definant new found respect for the Ubuntu installer under the minimal cd.
[04:18] <roky> Very well done.
[04:18] <roky> especially when configuring the desktop/server.
[04:19] <Dr_Willis> bryan_r59:  check out -> http://lin-app.com/ also
[04:20] <saxonjf> Can someone explain why I am getting this warning? Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/vlc/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found
[04:20] <Dr_Willis> saxonjf:  server could be down or overloaded.
[04:21] <saxonjf> Dr_Willlis, it's been like that for days.
[04:23] <Spaztic_One> What is a good Windows program loader other than wine? I'm wanting to see if there is something that supports some of the programs that wine does not.
[04:23] <saxonjf> Man, this place is dead.  This place used to be hopping
[04:23] <Dr_Willis> it is 12:00 on friday night in the usa...
[04:24] <Dr_Willis> Spaztic_One:  wine or its variants/spinoffs or run in a virtual machine.. thats the 2 options
[04:24] <Dr_Willis> There was a new wine release just  today or yesterday or somthing. :)
[04:24] <Dr_Willis> this week at least.
[04:24] <roky> saxonjf: yer, only the ners are on right now ;)
[04:24] <Spaztic_One> technically its only 11:24, and only on the east coast
[04:24] <Dr_Willis> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/wine-131-released.html
[04:24] <Spaztic_One> and there was?
[04:25] <saxonjf> I thought maybe it was the registration requirement that's throwing it off.
[04:26] <roky> will runtime 1 in the kernel get me to command line in Ubuntu?
[04:26] <hiexpo> think it was yesturday
[04:26] <Dr_Willis> roky:  runlevel 1 you mean?
[04:26] <roky> err sorry :x
[04:26] <roky> yes
[04:26] <Dr_Willis> roky:  or 'single' option   is command line also i recall..
[04:26] <hiexpo> ^ for wine
[04:26] <Dr_Willis> or the 'text' option to get to the Login: only with no gdm.
[04:27] <roky> yeah thanks mate.
[04:27] <roky> been using arch for awhile, and i'm not used to all this automounting and auto configuring again :x i'm almost confused. haha
[04:27] <saxonjf> quit
[04:28] <Spaztic_One> Hmm, they haven't updated the source thing yet it doesn't seem.
[04:28] <Dr_Willis> 'text' option disables plymouth and gdm/kdm.
[04:28] <hiexpo> that was q4wine > wine was on the 30th of july
[04:28] <BlackPower> Hi Im new to this network
[04:28] <BlackPower> Im an immigrant from Dalnet
[04:29] <Dr_Willis> BlackPower:  Not been on Dalnet in ages. :) I used to be there all the time.
[04:29] <psycho789> is it possible to join an aim chat in empathy? everything is greyed out
[04:29] <psycho789> like a group chat i mean
[04:29] <BlackPower> Hi if you black go to my new channel #WhitePeopleHaveSmallDicks thank you have and a nice day :)
[04:30] <Dr_Willis> now i rember why i left dalnet.
[04:30] <Spaztic_One> haha
[04:31] <hiexpo> !language | blackpower
[04:31] <bastid_raZor> hiexpo: you must have too much stuff /ignored
[04:31] <psycho789> can you join aim group chats in empathy
[04:32] <hiexpo> bastid_raZor,  < what did i miss
[04:32] <bastid_raZor> hiexpo: mr power was banned immediately afterwards.
[04:33] <hiexpo> bastid_raZor,  ok now i see it oops
[04:35] <bryan_r59> hey um
[04:36] <SuperMiguel> how do i make a minimal install of ubuntu??? just download the server edition?
[04:36] <bryan_r59> Does Ubuntu work closely with Social Security?
[04:36] <bazhang> !minimal | SuperMiguel
[04:36] <bazhang> bryan_r59, no
[04:36] <bryan_r59> ok
[04:36] <abhijit> hi
[04:36] <_DGM_> bryan_r59: why do you ask :P
[04:36] <bryan_r59> i get my checks from them.. and wanted to know if there is a better way to check on my deposits
[04:37] <_DGM_> um.. i'd say.. no
[04:38] <bryan_r59> i don't know why. i just get this feeling that Ubuntu should be associated with high tech government
[04:38] <IdleOne> bryan_r59: Please stick to the topic
[04:38] <hiexpo> why you remove the ban so fast if that was us wewould have to plrad to be reinstated
[04:38] <hiexpo> ^pleaded
[04:39] <cookies123> Would someone be able to help me hook up my macbook to the tv with a mini-dvi cable?
[04:40] <Spaztic_One> oh, the 1.3 version of wine is the dev version, not the stable
[04:40] <cookies123> no?
[04:40] <bazhang> cookies123, ubuntu on there?
[04:44] <Dr_Willis> mini dvi? cant say that ive ever seen one of those.
[04:44] <Dr_Willis> if its dvi to a dvi tv.. should plug in just like a 2nd pc monitor.
[04:45] <Dr_Willis> Then use the monitor tool, and/or the keyboard fn-keys to enable the 2nd monitor.
[04:47] <_DGM_> i've heard of it.. but i think its just dvi with a different connector
[04:47] <_DGM_> just like dvi is really just hdmi
[04:47] <Dr_Willis> I hooked up pc to tv via hdmi. and oddly enough it wouldent get the proper rez from teh device.
[04:48] <itsux2bu> i put this in /etc/profile. i rebooted and waited at the login prompt. the screen still blanked out. so question is.. is there a file i can put this in so it gets executed before login.. like at boot time?    setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0
[04:48] <_DGM_> works fine on my laptop.. windows though.. i dont use linux for that
[04:48] <richardcavell> Any mencoder experts here?  I have a .flv file and I want it converted to .avi or .wmv and I want the sound muted.
[04:49] <_DGM_> ffmpeg is easier imo and theres plenty of info on it
[04:49] <afeijo> hi guys
[04:50] <_DGM_> hi
[04:50] <afeijo> I installed 2 identical ubuntu server in my virtualbox, how can I configure them both to run as a cluster?
[04:50] <Dr_Willis> but the same tv hooked up via VGA - did get the proper res. 1360x768
[04:50] <Dr_Willis> itsux2bu:  rc.local perhaps.  but that will be for all users i imagine.
[04:51] <Dr_Willis> itsux2bu:  /etc/profile i think gets ran on each login shell.
[04:51] <_DGM_> hm odd.. when i use vga my resolution is always crap.. on hdmi it uses the whole tv panel properly
[04:51] <rawfodog> Hi guys, so I just installed breezy on an old box (from an official cd I had laying around). Thing is, I dont have blank cds and this doesnt boot from usb. How do I update some of the packages ?
[04:51] <_DGM_> but then again my laptop has an hdmi out.. not dvi
[04:51] <Dr_Willis> _DGM_:  my new one does also. Not tried it yet.
[04:51] <_DGM_> its great.. it even does sound
[04:52] <rawfodog> You know what Im even scared to upgrade as it runs perfect right now, just cant use the repositories. So im wondering if there is a way to use old repos, or if there is a guide for this kind of thing
[04:52] <Dr_Willis> rawfodog:  You want to update SOME pacakges? or upgrade to the latest release?
[04:52] <qcjn> hi, i d like to discuss with someone about backup application , like clonezilla, dd, ping, etc.. Caue i'm aiming to do systems, meaning the os, backup
[04:52] <itsux2bu> Dr_Willis, i want it for all users..  thats where it is now but if a user waits at login the screen blanks out..
[04:52] <Dr_Willis> rawfodog:  the repos for that old a install ahve moved to the archive servers I belive
[04:52] <_DGM_> it doesnt suck to be me :(
[04:53] <abhijit> how to change the homeback language? or do i need to install that language homeback directly?
[04:53] <rawfodog> Well... if I update latest release Im afraid it will kill the performance Im getting on this 700mhz pc (128megs). The only thing I need is a wifi gui and the few odd progs
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> itsux2bu:  try rc.local perhaps.
[04:53] <rawfodog> oh cool, so I can just change the repo list ? Ill google and find out the new address
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> rawfodog:  is your wireless even supported?
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> !eol
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> rawfodog:  you could always try lubuntu
[04:54] <FreshPrince> 70% cpu usage because of "backend" what is that?
[04:55] <_DGM_> not good?
[04:55] <rawfodog> Yeah I found out I dont have cdrs heh, so I cant burn that distro
[04:56] <rawfodog> And this thing doesnt boot from usb so ...
[04:56] <Dr_Willis> Put hd in a machine that can.. :)
[04:56] <_DGM_> rawfodog: if you have a usb stick you can install from that
[04:56] <rawfodog> Like I said, Im doing fine right now, just would like to get access to those repos
[04:56] <_DGM_> ah
[04:56] <rawfodog> THe computer wont boot from usb
[04:56] <Dr_Willis> or put HD in amachine and set up grub2 and a lubuntu iso file so it can boot/install it.
[04:57] <_DGM_> i dont know if you can actually downgrade.. somebody correct me if i'm wrong
[04:57] <_DGM_> like a whole distro.. i kinda doubt that
[04:57] <Dr_Willis> _DGM_:  not really
[04:57] <Leif> Help please, Ubuntu's gparted won't let me expand an ntfs partition (from empty space), it gives me an error to do it, can someone either help me, or point me to the right channel please?  Thank you.  Also, here is the data gparted tells me I need to give: http://pastebin.com/y3sMjmPt
[04:57] <_DGM_> so you'd have to burn a disc anyway
[04:57] <_DGM_> or do lan boot
[04:57] <Dr_Willis> rawfodog:  the repos get moved to some archive.ubuntu.somthing.com i recall
[04:58] <richardcavell> I have abc.flv and I want to convert it to .wmv or .avi.  I also want to remove the soundtrack, just have the video.  What command do I need?
[04:58] <rawfodog> k
[04:58] <rawfodog> searching now...
[04:58] <rawfodog> thx for the help btw
[04:58] <Dr_Willis> richardcavell:  ffmpeg, or mencoder can proberly do that.
[04:58] <_DGM_> richardcavell: you asked that in #linux to and you got your answer :P
[04:58] <richardcavell> _DGM_: It would help me if you would give me the answer to my question
[04:59] <_DGM_> have you even tried googling for ffmpeg?
[04:59] <Dr_Willis> ffmpeg  faq i recall has exact command line for converting.. it willd epend on what codec you want to use in the avi
[04:59] <_DGM_> top result "-an" disable audio recording
[05:00] <_DGM_> from the ffmpeg documentation
[05:00] <Dr_Willis> !appdb
[05:00] <_DGM_> there are also plenty of example commands
[05:00] <progre55> hi guys! how can I see my current internet bandwidth usage on a terminal?
[05:01] <MTecknology> What's a simple application to check if a webcam is working?
[05:02] <progre55> chatroulette.com =))
[05:02] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  Cheese is what i use
[05:03] <progre55> Dr_Willis: there was some terminal command to see your internet usage.. dont you know?
[05:03] <MTecknology> Dr_Willis: thanks
[05:03] <progre55> current bandwidth
[05:03] <afeijo> I installed 2 identical ubuntu server in my virtualbox, how can I configure them both to run as a cluster?
[05:03] <MTecknology> progre55: jnettop
[05:03] <MTecknology> Dr_Willis: that's really green..
[05:04] <progre55> MTecknology: thanks
[05:05] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  ive noticed with cheese and under some lightings situatiions it being greenish also.
[05:05] <raviepic3>  help | i installed apache using the apt-get command, now i want to remove it and install using the conventional compilation and installation using the package to learn, how can i remove the already installed apache completely ?
[05:05] <Dr_Willis> at work under the Hg Lights..  its really noticeable
[05:05] <raviepic3> i did a sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2
[05:06] <raviepic3> after this i browsed localhost and still the page is viewable
[05:06] <raviepic3> and when i do a /etc/init.d/apache2 status it says running :(
[05:06] <Dr_Willis> raviepic3:  stop the service. or reboot
[05:06] <raviepic3> what am i missing, please point me in the right direction
[05:06] <MTecknology> Dr_Willis: oh, I thought it was just the camera - I just wanted to know if that worked out of the box
[05:06] <maco> raviepic3: you forgot to stop it
[05:06] <raviepic3> these are the other three matches for apache apache2.2-common     apache2-mpm-prefork  apache2-utils, should i remove these too ?
[05:06] <raviepic3> oh ok
[05:06] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  ive seen that under different lighting these webcams often look very different/poorly
[05:06] <maco> raviepic3: just because its uninstalled doesnt mean it stopped running. its loaded into memory
[05:06] <raviepic3> so if i reboot it will get uninstalled or i should reboot, stop and then uninstall ?
[05:07] <shane-laptop> does anyone know what the name of the package is for "Real Media player"  or isn't it in the in repos anymore?
[05:07] <Dr_Willis> raviepic3:  stop the service or reboot.. WHy do you need to do it from souirce anyway?
[05:07] <Dr_Willis> shane-laptop: It may be at the getdeb web site. Why do you need real media player? ive playee rm and rmvb in mplayer/vlc in the past
[05:07] <Fudge> is it unusual to not be able to see windows7 partitions in lucid live , trying to dual boot but there claims to be no partition table. yet the windows7 boots fine if not booting from cd. acer aspire1
[05:07] <raviepic3> Dr_Willis, cause i need to learn how to compile and install and verify the installation is working fine
[05:08] <Dr_Willis> raviepic3:  you may want to learn with a simpiler application.
[05:08] <Dr_Willis>  ./configure, make, sudo make install.     :)
[05:08] <shane-laptop> Dr_Willis: I have some old .ra files, and vlc seems to laugh at them, let me give mplayer a try, they are RealAudio files though.
[05:08] <raviepic3> :P
[05:08] <raviepic3> yeah even i read its simple in internet with 4 steps
[05:08] <raviepic3> but want to do it practically
[05:08] <raviepic3> have never done
[05:08] <Dr_Willis> shane-laptop:  ive watched lots of .ra/rmvb in those 2 apps. mplayer may need to have some codecs isntalled.
[05:08] <raviepic3> Dr_Willis, maco thank you very much
[05:09] <maco> raviepic3: np
[05:09] <shane-laptop> Dr_Willis: I'm missing codex apparently, not sure.
[05:09] <Dr_Willis> shane-laptop:  w32codecs from medibuntu, and ubuntu-restricted-extras package should grab them
[05:10] <shane-laptop> Dr_Willis: I have the ubuntu-restricted, apparently not the w32codecs
[05:10] <abhijit> how to change the homeback language? or do i need to install that language homeback directly?
[05:10] <shane-laptop> Dr_Willis: thanks, I will check those out.
[05:11] <blackretina> Is there any way to get the audio from wmv files to play under VLC in Ubuntu?
[05:11] <SuperMiguel> when using the minimal install, is there a way to get a wireless connection???
[05:11] <tangentcollision> hey, what's up dog
[05:11] <Dr_Willis> blackretina:  it depends on the codec the audio is using. Ive played many wmv in vlc and mplauyer befor.
[05:11] <coz_> Fudge,  I am not sure ... I have not use a dual boot with windows7  up to now
[05:12] <Dr_Willis> SuperMiguel:  you can configure wireless via the command line yes.
[05:12] <Dr_Willis> SuperMiguel:  if you have all the proper wireless drivers installed.
[05:12] <SuperMiguel> Dr_Willis, how do i get to the command line??
[05:12] <Jordan_U> blackretina: Does it play correctly in totem?
[05:12] <SuperMiguel> Dr_Willis, Well but i cant even do the install, it ask for network connection
[05:12] <tangentcollision> I need some help, yo son, and I am for real, I got a little problem and I just can't deal, my copy of windows is on an ISO so how can I run it live and take it slow
[05:12] <Dr_Willis> SuperMiguel:  the minimal install defaulted to the console/command like i thought.
[05:12] <lahwran> pidgin or xchat? (those are the only options, don't ask why)
[05:13] <Dr_Willis> SuperMiguel:  so youa re still in the Install process you are saying?
[05:13] <SuperMiguel> Dr_Willis, yup
[05:13] <maco> lahwran: xchat
[05:13] <Dr_Willis> lahwran:  most people perfer xchat for itc.
[05:13] <Jordan_U> !pm | blackretina
[05:13] <Dr_Willis> SuperMiguel:  it may not be doable. if you need to download some wireless drivers.. sort of a catch22 situation.
[05:13] <Dr_Willis> SuperMiguel:  Youmay want to uise a wired connection untill you install
[05:14] <SuperMiguel> umm
[05:14] <Dr_Willis> I always use wired during installs..  faster for me.
[05:15] <well_laid_lawn> wired is faster for everything...
[05:15] <blackretina> The audio in the WMV file isn't working in VLC or MPlayer, and it uses the Windows Media Audio 9 Codec.
[05:15] <greezmunkey> SuperMiguel: Do you have a winbox available that you can share your wireless Internet from during your install?
[05:15] <Jordan_U> SuperMiguel: You should be able to install a minimal system without network, then run "sudo tasksel" to get the standard options for groups of packages (ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu, LAMP, etc )
[05:15] <SuperMiguel> greezmunkey, i have few computers avilable not windows
[05:16] <abhijit> no one uses home bank????
[05:16] <greezmunkey> SuperMiguel: ok, not limited to Windows! :)
[05:16] <coz_> abhijit,   no I tried way back and didnt like it at least at that point
[05:16] <tangentcollision> so, can anyone help me at all? I will restate.
[05:16] <aarcane> what's the record uptime for a fully up to date, fully patched ubuntu system ?
[05:16] <abhijit> coz_, ohh :(
[05:16] <coz_> blackretina,   is mplayer  gmplayer on your system?
[05:16] <abhijit> !details | tangentcollision
[05:17] <abhijit> coz_, which software you use?
[05:17] <coz_> blackretina,   if it is mplayer  gui   right click the main window and go to Preferences
[05:17] <SuperMiguel> Dr_Willis, i know the full install has my wireless drivers but i dont want the gnome crap
[05:17] <shane-laptop> Dr_Willis: I seem to be hitting a wall with any medibuntu repos, I added it with this:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu  the command line, and keep getting errors
[05:17] <tangentcollision> I need to run my ISO like it's an auto-run, it must install windows to make my computer more fun. I'm on a live CD so burning isn't really good, and if you ask about my friends I'm in the middle of the hood.
[05:17] <coz_> abhijit,   none at this point... I have been looking  but havent found one I really like
[05:17] <abhijit> coz_, ok
[05:17] <blackretina> Movie Player == Totem Player == MPlayer?
[05:18] <Dr_Willis> tangentcollision:  you mean you want to install windows to a hard drive from an ISO file?
[05:18] <shane-laptop> Dr_Willis: not errors adding it, but errors trying to install any packages from them.
[05:18] <coz_> blackretina,  ok open mplayer and right click the main window and go to preferences
[05:18] <tangentcollision> Dr_Willis: correct
[05:18] <tangentcollision> I know I can do it in windows, but that's because it's an EXE
[05:18] <Dr_Willis> shane-laptop:  you did sudo apt-get update, after adding it? then sudo apt-get upgrade?
[05:18] <abhijit> !windows | tangentcollision
[05:18] <tangentcollision> not sure if wine will work for it because of the registry
[05:19] <tangentcollision> abhijit: good christ, read a little more
[05:19] <Dr_Willis> tangentcollision:  You might be able to do it in virtualbox.. or some how put it on a bootable usb drive (that would be better then vbox)
[05:19] <shane-laptop> Dr_Willis: yep,  ok, I take that back, it is working now, must have been down???  that was just odd, working now thanks.
[05:19] <tangentcollision> hmm
[05:19] <abhijit> tangentcollision, ok sorry
[05:19] <coz_> blackretina,  then click the  "Codecs & demuxer"   tab  and under video codec family choose  "FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family"  and under  Audio codec family  choose "MPEG layer-2, layer-3"
[05:19] <Dr_Willis> tangentcollision:  theres also want to take a vbox hd and 'put' it on a real hard drive. (never done that either)
[05:19] <tangentcollision> Dr_Willis: thanks, that sounds like an exelent plan, I will try the VBox for now and good bye my good man
[05:20] <Dr_Willis> Good Luck. You will Need it. :)
[05:20] <tangentcollision> *crowbar* got it
[05:21] <SuperMiguel> is there a ubuntu network install that includes wireless drivers?? or can i use the full install with out install gnome??
[05:21] <shaw1337> Hi i want to use my tata photon plus on Ubuntu 10.04 , how to configure it ? Mobile Broadband connection  is not working by default ? how to configure it ?
[05:21] <Dr_Willis> SuperMiguel:  with many wireless cards - you have to install drivers from the internet for legal reasons. so it depends on teh wireless card
[05:21] <Dr_Willis> SuperMiguel:  what desktop are you wanting to use if not gnome?
[05:22] <SuperMiguel> Dr_Willis, openbox
[05:22] <shane-laptop> Dr_Willis: well, vlc, still laughs at it, but mplayer works, thanks a bundle!!!
[05:22] <Dr_Willis> SuperMiguel:  you may want to try lubuntu then. I belive it uses Openbox.
[05:23] <Dr_Willis> SuperMiguel:  there used to be Crunchbang (but thats not supported here, and i dont knwo if it still exists)
[05:23] <Dr_Willis> SuperMiguel:  they may or may not come with the proper wireless drivers also.
[05:23] <bazhang> lubuntu-desktop SuperMiguel
[05:23] <bazhang> lxde and openbox
[05:23] <well_laid_lawn> crunchbang moved to debian and is still going strong
[05:24] <Dr_Willis> personally id jsut install ubuntu, then install openbox.. and be done with it. :)
[05:24] <hiexpo> !crunchbang
[05:25] <Dr_Willis> so many variants for so few good reasons.. :)
[05:25] <hiexpo> true
[05:25] <spinningcompass> It's a variation of the Peter Principle. Dilute the talent until each distro is mediocre.
[05:25] <Dr_Willis> I have to wonder for how much longer Ubuntu will manage to squeeze into a 700mb cd.. :)
[05:26] <hiexpo> like bt not mmuch
[05:27] <Jordan_U> tangentcollision: You can also boot the Ubuntu LiveCD with an option to copy the entire contents of the CD into RAM, allowing you to eject the CD (and use the drive to burn the iso).
[05:27] <miststlkr> jordan_U:   orly??  news to me.
[05:27] <maco> Jordan_U: thats "toram"
[05:27] <SuperMiguel> Dr_Willis, u use debian or ubuntu?
[05:27] <Dr_Willis> the toram option is new in 10.04 i recall
[05:27] <tangentcollision> hmm
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> SuperMiguel:  i use ubuntu. i dont see much point in me using Debian
[05:28] <tangentcollision> sounds like a good idea Jordan_U, only problem is I don't have...a blank disc
[05:28] <tangentcollision> or a soul
[05:28] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis: Newly working, the code for it has existed for a while now (just broken:)
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. this installer.exe in wine.. decided to default to french.. :()
[05:28] <tangentcollision> not important though >.>
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> Jordan_U:  yep. common feature in many other disrtos/live cd's
[05:28] <SuperMiguel> Dr_Willis, gnome?
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> SuperMiguel:  for the most part yes
[05:29] <miststlkr> DR_Willis:   interresting.  What I ended u doing was LinuxLive USB Creator to convert a USB stick into a persistent install and working from there.
[05:29] <hiexpo> i don't see ant reason for 5 gigs either < or
[05:29] <miststlkr> Dr:Willis:  I fact, my netbook boots 10.04 off of an SD card at the moment
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> miststlkr:  with  the size of usb sticks these days. I find my self doing normal installs to flash drives. heh.
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> My AAO cant boot from the sd card. :(
[05:30] <miststlkr> Dr_Willis.  Odd. I have an AAO250 and it works fine
[05:30] <tangentcollision> uh
[05:30] <tangentcollision> acer?
[05:30] <tangentcollision> good god, I am in hell
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> I got an older AAO.  one of the first batches out
[05:30] <miststlkr> Dr_Willis:  ah.
[05:30] <tangentcollision> I have an eeepc 700
[05:30] <tangentcollision> OG son!
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> Grandson how has the AA0. For now.
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> 'the portable spongebob video player' :)
[05:31] <tangentcollision> so, I figure I will use my PSP (4GB) for the flash drive
[05:31] <tangentcollision> I'll see if I can make do with that
[05:32] <tangentcollision> what should I do to make this IS...you know what? google is there for a reason
[05:32] <tangentcollision> bbs
[05:32] <miststlkr> meh, I have the AAO and 90% of the time it just runs rbreader while I'm on the train commuting, the rest is rythmbox at work for the most part.  works like a charm for what I use it for.
[05:32] <hiexpo> i find it easier to build deb packages and update them
[05:33] <miststlkr> tangentcollision:  yeah.. sorry... I just hit you with a tangent there I guess :-P   sorry to derail your plea for help...
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> tangentcollision:  huh? what are you trying to do exactly?
[05:33] <hiexpo> and ubuntu does it for you also on repo packages
[05:34] <veebull> anybody know what happened to the 9-part intro to quickly?  I can't seem to connect to the site where it is supposed to be hosted, either from home or work.
[05:34] <veebull> did it get archived anywhere else?
[05:34] <ryaxnb> hey guys
[05:35] <bazhang> veebull, ubuntu quickly?
[05:35] <veebull> yessir
[05:35] <bazhang> veebull, could you specify a bit what it is?
[05:36] <veebull> Ahhh... supposed to be a rapid-application development tool for creating simple GUI apps using python, glade and couchdb
[05:36] <abhijit> hey is that the same quickly tought in user days?
[05:37] <veebull> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly
[05:37] <Flannel> bazhang: Quickly is that framework for python development that Jono was stumping for for a while
[05:37] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly
[05:37] <bazhang> whoops
[05:37] <bazhang> Flannel, thanks
[05:37] <blackretina> coz, I don't see any Video & Codecs Demuxer tab under Gnome MPlayer Configuration.
[05:38] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=972037 veebull that help?
[05:38] <Flannel> veebull: It does look like that 9 part intro is down at the moment.  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly#Other%20Resources has some other links that may help
[05:39] <veebull> someone over in #quickly perked up and just informed me that the site has been down for a week or so.
[05:39] <veebull> figures, right when I get curious... ;)
[05:39] <hiexpo> kinda like getdeb
[05:40] <veebull> I've looked at most of the other resources there, and from the Quickly sourceforge site
[05:41] <veebull> bazhang, Thats something else entirely... but thanks
[05:41] <bazhang> veebull, yep offline as Flannel said
[05:41] <itsux2bu>   [23:50] <Dr_Willis> itsux2bu:  rc.local perhaps.  but that will be for all users i imagine.   <<--  thanks.. that worked.. /etc/rc.local is global
[05:42] <hiexpo> < is it just a repo ?
[05:42] <bazhang> hiexpo, no
[05:42] <hiexpo> distro
[05:42] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly hiexpo
[05:42] <moofknock> Hello
[05:43] <moofknock> how y'all doing?
[05:44] <hiexpo> bazhang,  does not explain what it is just how to get it is all
[05:45] <Flannel> hiexpo: It's a GUI framework for 'rapid development' of python apps (and it helps you put them into your PPA as well)
[05:45] <hiexpo> Flannel,  oh ok
[05:46] <hiexpo> so it's a python gui kool
[05:49] <moofknock> Hope I'm not interrupting. I'm a first time Ubuntu user and don't know much of linux. I installed this out of curiosity on my laptop and I'm liking it so far :) But how do I make a Webcam work and also the latptop's internal mic?
[05:50] <Dr_Willis> moofknock: install 'cheese' and run cheese and see if webcam works.
[05:50] <Dr_Willis> !manual | moofknock
[05:50] <Dr_Willis> No idea on the internal mic. :) Mine worked automcatically
[05:50] <tangentcollision> lol
[05:50] <moofknock> Awesome :)
[05:50] <tangentcollision> cheese is a fun little application
[05:51] <Dr_Willis> many webcams also have a built in mic.
[05:51] <moofknock> Well the one on the cam seems to be working ok
[05:52] <pietime> how do you install openvz
[05:53] <moofknock> is "cheese" an aplication that you can add with the Ubuntu Software Center?
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> !info openvz
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> moofknock:  sudo apt-get install cheese, or use the software center
[05:53] <miststlkr> while we are sort of on the subject.  I'd like to somehow set it up so that the speakers [plugged into the motherboard backplate] are disabled when I plug headphones into the case's front IO ports... Assuming I'm missing something stupidly obvious here, pointer?
[05:53] <moofknock> found it :)
[05:55] <moofknock> AHA it works!!!!
[05:56] <pietime> whoa why is #ubuntu so small?
[05:57] <miststlkr> just got split
[05:57] <miststlkr> nice timing :-P
[05:59] <Fudge> registered users only due to spammers pietime
[06:01] <i0nic> Anyone have experience with getting a belkin model: F7D2101 v1 working under ubuntu? I am currently running 10.04.. lsusb shows the device is recognized but iwconfig is not able to scan on it. Am I missing a major step here?
[06:02] <Fudge> why are my windows7 partitions listed in /dev but gparted cant seem them?
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> Fudge: does: sudo blkid ,show them too?
[06:02] <pietime> how do you install openvz

[06:03] <i0nic> Fudge, whats the output of fdisk -l -u ?
[06:03] <CR0W> Hello, how to block with iptables incoming connections?
[06:03] <CR0W> I mean, connections initiated from outside.
[06:04] <Fudge> yes but it says partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundry
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> pietime: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVZ
[06:04] <pietime> thank you
[06:04] <SwedeMike> CR0W: CR0W https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[06:05] <hiexpo> i don'tuse iptables but maybe check man iptables
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> Fudge: not so good as far as I know, although my lappy does the same.
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> Fudge: i'd look online to see if it'll cause issues. Maybe it's related to the gparted thing...
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> pietime: all I did was websearch dude: ubuntu openvz ,and poof, it appeared
[06:06] <Fudge> http://pastebin.com/SyMxTy4U
[06:06] <Fudge> i0nic  there u go mate
[06:07] <pietime> woooowww
[06:07] <wowoto> hi all，where is the big-green-leave photo of the gnome which shows when we loginto the Desktop
[06:08] <CR0W> SwedeMike thanks
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> wowoto: perhaps in  /usr/share/backgrounds/
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> Fudge: hmm, no linux partitions, is Ubuntu on a seperate disk?
[06:08] <wowoto> Dr_Willis, let me see
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> wowoto: perhaps in  /usr/share/images/
[06:08] <pietime> i like #ubuntu like this
[06:08] <Fudge> ActionParsnip  that is the problem, im trying to install it
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> Fudge: ahh, and resize partitions I'm guessing?
[06:09] <Fudge> but gparted only sees the 250big drive with no partitions, and i dont want to createa  new parttion table blowing away windows
[06:09] <wowoto> Dr_Willis, no。。 i dont find it
[06:09] <Fudge> was my hope to resize the ntfs parts yeah ActionParsnip
[06:09] <i0nic> Fudge, so /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 are showing like you said, have you tried mounting them?
[06:09] <ActionParsnip> Fudge: win7 can resize it's own partitions. I suggest you use that. Make sure your backs are sufficiently recent before all this
[06:09] <Fudge> not as yet havnt tried
[06:10] <i0nic> Fudge,  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1886.html

[06:10] <Fudge> how can a file system resize itself when mounted?
[06:10] <i0nic> oh I didn't see how you were trying to resize
[06:10] <i0nic> I am not sure on that.
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> i0nic: ask microsoft
[06:11] <SwedeMike> Fudge: it doesn't resize itself really.
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> i0nic: vista has it too
[06:11] <sacarlson> fudge: I don't know how but virtualbox does it that way, resize mounted disk as needed.
[06:11] <miststlkr>  I'd like to set my system up so that the speakers [plugged into the motherboard backplate] are disabled when I plug headphones into the case's front IO ports... Assuming I'm missing something stupidly obvious here, pointer?

[06:12] <moofknock> Hey thanks for ythe help, the webcam works wonderfully :)
[06:12] <moofknock> See you all later if I find another problem
[06:12] <moofknock> :)
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> miststlkr: this happens with laptops too. I've heard this a bit but there are fixes
[06:16] <miststlkr> I figured there must be a way to fix it... I'm just too new to linux to know it I guess
[06:16] <miststlkr> I'll keep poking around
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> miststlkr: try: ubuntu headphones don't mute speakers
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> miststlkr: i'd help too but my battery is dying
[06:18] <miststlkr> ActiveParsnip:  it's all good.  I just thought that since it was a pretty active room at the moment I'd throw it out there.  I just installed tonight so I have plenty of other things to keep me occupied right now :-P
[06:23] <jellow> how can ic hange usb from /dev/mmcblk0p1 to /dev/sdb or something similar
[06:24] <psycho_oreos> udev?
[06:25] <zulgaban> hi
[06:25] <jellow> psycho_oreos: that a file i need to edit ?
[06:25] <tangentcollision> hey again
[06:25] <psycho_oreos> jellow, yes there should be a conf file for it, and you may need to restart udev for changes to take affect
[06:25] <tangentcollision> I'm getting a stupid error >:(
[06:26] <tangentcollision> that is all for now, thanks for playing
[06:26] <shro0ms> how can i check the size of a usb drive through terminal?
[06:26] <tangentcollision> if only I had another harddrive
[06:26] <psycho_oreos> shro0ms, if its mounted you can check via df -h
[06:26] <tangentcollision> I would totally install some sort of distrobution
[06:26] <jellow> psycho_oreos: so /dev/blah is given by the host and not predefined on the usb?
[06:27] <shro0ms> psycho_oreos, sweet thanks
[06:27] <psycho_oreos> jellow, its not the usb that defines the type of device it is, its the host that chooses to name those devices
[06:27] <psycho_oreos> shro0ms, no worries
[06:28] <tangentcollision> I wish there were an easy tutorial on how to make a windows boot disc on a USB drive from linux
[06:28] <tangentcollision> boy, that wasn't specific
[06:29] <psycho_oreos> and that was offtopic
[06:29] <Visine> I like how I have vmware wkst running taking up 80% of my resources and ubuntu is still running like a champ
[06:29] <tangentcollision> not really
[06:29] <Visine> how have I been on windows all this time
[06:29] <dsimon> is there a way to check to make sure that files installed from debs on my system haven't been corrupted?
[06:29] <dsimon> i think my filesystem's gotten a bit messed up, and i want to make sure all my /usr files are okay
[06:29] <tangentcollision> I am on ubuntu live and I'm trying to make this work, therefore...best place to be is? *drumroll* the distrobution channel!
[06:29] <psycho_oreos> dsimon, hard to tell imo
[06:30] <tangentcollision> distribution*
[06:30] <psycho_oreos> tangentcollision, you were asking about how to make a windows boot disc on USB drive no?
[06:30] <dsimon> psycho_oreos, there's no list of md5sums or something like that?
[06:30] <tangentcollision> from ubuntu
[06:30] <dsimon> hm
[06:30] <tangentcollision> seeing as that's all I have for tools
[06:30] <psycho_oreos> tangentcollision, yeah which is offtopic, there's ##windows for that
[06:31] <tangentcollision> okay, I'll ask it in windows, they'll tell me to come here because it's from ubuntu
[06:31] <tangentcollision> here I am again
[06:32] <dsimon> oh, man, i'm glad i thought of the word "md5sums", it led me to this neat tool: http://arthurdejong.org/recovery.html
[06:32] <psycho_oreos> dsimon, not that I'm aware of no, the individual packages can be checked to see if they have been installed properly, but any further modifications that are different to the original files from deb would not be visible
[06:32] <nIRV> greetings; quick question: how to we set a startup script to launch a program under a user that is not root (i.e. I'm setting up sphinxsearch app and it won't work nicely with apache unless it's launched under the www-data user)
[06:32] <rww> nIRV: alright, try now :)
[06:32] <rww> there you go
[06:32] <sacarlson> tangentcollision: I can't even get ubuntu to install a persistant boot of itself let alone windows.  I'm about to try the window version that might work.
[06:32] <nIRV> rww, thanks
[06:32] <dsimon> er, that page isn't very specific
[06:32] <dsimon> the tool i'm talking about is called debsums
[06:32] <jellow> im installing ubuntu but the installer will not pick up the sd card (ext3) but my desktop ubuntu picks it fine
[06:33] <psycho_oreos> jellow, you're installing it onto some cellular/mobile phone device?
[06:34] <jellow> psycho_oreos: no laptop eeepc mmc.sd card
[06:34] <psycho_oreos> jellow, why not get something like MMC/SD to USB or better yet a flash drive?
[06:35] <sacarlson> jellow: I have an eeepc with ubuntu or derivitive (easypeasy) on it but never tried install on sd card.
[06:35] <shro0ms> is there a counterpart to the eject command?
[06:36] <tangentcollision> umount
[06:36] <dsimon> shro0ms, you mean to pull the tray in?
[06:36] <dsimon> i think eject has an option for that
[06:36] <tangentcollision> sudo umount /dev/blah
[06:36] <dsimon> $ man eject
[06:36] <rww> eject -t
[06:36] <jellow> psycho_oreos: My sd card is 8 GB , the internal usb is only 4 gb. I rather use the sd card
[06:36] <shro0ms> rww, yeah thats it, thanks
[06:37] <sacarlson> jellow: you can mount your /home on the 8GB.  4GB should be more than enuf for just applications
[06:37] <psycho_oreos> jellow, no what I meant is why don't you get an adapter to convert that SD to USB? plus ubuntu doesn't need 4GB to install unless you're planning to make a persistent setup on the USB drive itself
[06:38] <tangentcollision> it seems like there's all these tutorials on windows to ubuntu copies, but not the other way around, how obnoxious
[06:38] <sacarlson> jellow: I'm working on setup of a persistent ubuntu setup with only 2GB even that's enuf.
[06:38] <jellow> sacarlson: I had that setup before but ran out of space and then tried to move /usr and failed :(
[06:39] <sacarlson> jellow: I wouldn't wait to run out of space before I setup my /home on the sd card
[06:39] <tangentcollision> jellow: when you're installing, you can set custom mount points, make sure that /dev/sdc1 is set to /usr (replace sdc1 with whatever your SD card happens to be) and you are good
[06:40] <tangentcollision> because /usr is usually the biggest folder
[06:40] <sacarlson> jellow: I'm not sure I would want to move the /usr directory but I guess you could do that also,  never tried
[06:40] <tangentcollision> believe me, I've done it with archlinux
[06:41] <tacomaster> can someone help me with this no one in #rtorrent is talking. im getting an error of (rtorrent: Error in option file: ~/.rtorrent.rc:54: Command "execute_log" does not exist.
[06:41] <dsimon> tacomaster, okay, i've never used or even heard of this program, but let's give The Standard Debugging Method a shot
[06:42] <dsimon> 1. have you checked the rtorrent manual to make sure there is in fact such a command?
[06:42] <[sleepy]> sup
[06:42] <tacomaster>  /.rtorrent.rc is the config file
[06:43] <sacarlson> tacomaster: maybe create the file it wants then and make sure the privliges in that folder can be writen with the user running your torrent.
[06:43] <dsimon> tacomaster, right, i understand that
[06:43] <dsimon> tacomaster, did you write or alter that file yourself?
[06:43] <tacomaster> let me see
[06:43] <[sleepy]> if anyone has time can i get some help?
[06:43] <tangentcollision> !help
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> !ask | [sleepy]
[06:43] <dsimon> [sleepy], yes, but you only get one question and you just used it :-)
[06:44] <i2c> does anyone here know any java?
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> i2c: try asking in #java
[06:44] <[sleepy]> lol
[06:44] <tangentcollision> coffee...want coffee
[06:44] <tangentcollision> wait, no...screw coffee
[06:44] <dsimon> sounds painful
