[06:04] <Lasers> StepNjump: Sure. Also, learn about irssi or weechat. It's a CLI IRC client. Great if you want to chat through terminal or in TTY.
[06:04] <StepNjump> oh cool. that's awsome!
[06:06] <ubuntu_> codehotter: im back i was AFK sorry
[06:06] <ubuntu_> codehotter: OK , in the installer, it doesn't really give me lots of options
[06:06] <ubuntu_> codehotter: It says, either replace windows or do something else
[06:07] <ubuntu_> codehotter: I click on "do something else," and it says Allocate Drive Space
[06:07] <cvam> I've upgraded to natty some days ago. by uname -a I got to know that my sys uses kernel 2.6.35-22-generic . In boot directory I have another version of kernel(2.6.38)
[06:07] <codehotter> what does it say on that screen besides allocate drive space?
[06:07] <ubuntu_> codehotter: then it lists me the partitions, I highlighted sda3 , but it doesn't really say it's gonna use that to install onto, and then below it all it has Device for boot loader installation: and I don't know what I should pick for that because I already have GRUB installed
[06:08] <codehotter> ubuntu_: what buttons does it show you?
[06:08] <DND> guys
[06:08] <ubuntu_> codehotter: but I highlighted sda3 for that aswell
[06:08] <cvam> what should I do . how to use newer kernel. what's the advantage for newer one
[06:08] <ubuntu_> buttons? oh just QUIT BACK and INSTALL NOW
[06:08] <DND> in terminal, how can i killa all process that uses "curl" ?
[06:08] <cvam> I've upgraded to natty some days ago. by uname -a I got to know that my sys uses kernel 2.6.35-22-generic . In boot directory I have another version of kernel(2.6.38)what should I do . how to use newer kernel. what's the advantage for newer one
[06:09] <jroysdon> cvam, newer kernels are typically released for bugs/security issues, and also to improve performance, etc.
[06:09] <ikonia> !info linux-image natty
[06:09] <codehotter> ubuntu_: OK, I recommend you pick /dev/sda (no number) for bootloader and /dev/sda3 for install
[06:09] <ubuntu_> codehotter: OK, yeah sda 2 is the one with windows right
[06:09] <ubuntu_> whatever, im sure it is
[06:10] <codehotter> sda1 and sda2 seem windows, and sda4 seems to have some important stuff but I'm not sure what
[06:10] <codehotter> sda3 is empty
[06:10] <ubuntu_> codehotter: well it says sda4 is for windows backup
[06:10] <ubuntu_> restoration
[06:10] <codehotter> ok
[06:10] <codehotter> alright that makes sense\
[06:10] <ubuntu_> but the thing about SDA blank though!
[06:10] <blinkiz> Hello. I monitor some files on my servers like the checksum of sshd. It has changed this morning and it is probably just a security update. Anyway, can I verify the current checksum against a value on the Internet somewhere?
[06:10] <ubuntu_> it says its called TOSHIBA MK3252GS (320.1GB) so I think it's just the name of all the partitions together??
[06:11] <cvam> jroysdon: OK I got 2 versions of kernel. How can I use newer one
[06:12] <Stanley00> cvam: try update-grub
[06:12] <Stanley00> cvam: if that not work, add it manually :(
[06:12] <ubuntu_> codehotter: what do you think it seems like sda (no number) could be all of them together
[06:12] <ubuntu_> to me
[06:13] <codehotter> yes, but the bootloader should go there (NOT the installation)
[06:14] <ubuntu_> right so putting the bootloader on the SDA no number wont mess up the windows inst?  because the SDA no number doesn't even have a lable like NTFS and it's space is the space of all the rest together so im worried it might overwrite EVERYTHIGN by selecting that for the bootloader
[06:14] <ubuntu_> and also, I already have GRUB on my computer I installed it off the liveCD so couldnt I just skip installing a bootloader?
[06:14] <Stanley00> ubuntu_: install there is equal to install to MBR somehow...
[06:15] <codehotter> ubuntu_: selecting /dev/sda for the bootloader will make your main bootloader grub
[06:15] <codehotter> ubuntu_: if you already have grub, you may skip it, but I do not recommend doing so
[06:15] <codehotter> ubuntu_: it's not certain the existing grub installation will work properly with your new ubuntu install
[06:16] <ubuntu_> codehotter: OK , does it matter if sda 2 and 4 have (loader) after their names on this installer though?
[06:16] <codehotter> I'm not sure what that means.
[06:16] <codehotter> blinkiz: debsums openssh-server
[06:17] <codehotter> also check /var/log/dpkg.log
[06:17] <ubuntu_> codehotter: OK I selected the sda no number as the bootloader, and 3 as the installation, and it gave me this error message : No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu
[06:17] <codehotter> blinkiz: you should get the md5sum file for openssh-server from the internet, since the malware planter may have modified the md5sums file on your system too ; |)
[06:18] <codehotter> ubuntu_: you need to go back to the partitioning menu
[06:18] <codehotter> sorry can somebody help ubuntu_  here? I need to go
[06:18] <codehotter> ubuntu_: good luck :(
[06:18] <andrew_> hey, I was wondering how I get the automounter to mount with sudo privileges, so that files can be drag/dropped using the file manager?
[06:18] <ubuntu_> there's no partitioning menu though... it only has this as its first screen in installation lol
[06:18] <ubuntu_> OK thx for help codehotter love u bro
[06:18] <andrew_> since right now, the files are locked
[06:18] <Stanley00> andrew_: try edit /etc/fstab file
[06:20] <andrew_> Stanley00, what does the line need to be for a usb keydrive?
[06:20] <Stanley00> andrew_: usb key is mount automatically,
[06:21] <andrew_> Stanley00, /dev/sdb1       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0 is the line
[06:21] <StepNjump> lasers and others, good night... I will try that weechat see if I can figure it out and after that it's time for bed. Good night all
[06:21] <ubuntu_> Hey anyone here good at installing ubuntu?  I am lost on it badly can't get past first screen of installation on liveCD
[06:21] <ubuntu_> GNIGHT stepnjump
[06:22] <Stanley00> andrew_: I dont know what you mean when you said root privileges?
[06:23] <andrew_> Stanley00, well, all the icons in the file manager are have a locked symbol, and I want to be able to read/write to the drive with the file manager when it automounts
[06:23] <dfcnvt> Am I to learn that this new ubuntu version is disabled on screensaver?
[06:23] <Stanley00> andrew_: is that a cdrom drive?
[06:23] <andrew_> no, a 4gb USB thumbdrive
[06:24] <ubuntu_> hey guys im having a huge problem with the installation it is giving instructions that don't exist, makes 0 sense at all
[06:24] <Stanley00> andrew_: I think you should comment out that line in fstab and replug your thumbdrive again.
[06:24] <andrew_> ill gve it a shot, thanks
[06:25] <binni> what kind of problems are possible to happen related to if I install ubuntu 11.10 beta 2 and just upgrade it regularly through synaptic, instead of waiting for ubuntu 11.10 and do the same?
[06:25] <spartan07> hey guys is there a way to do 3 screens on a evga gtx 295? my 3rd screen does not work and needs to be HDMI. Anyone having an issue like this?
[06:26] <spartan07> running ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[06:26] <urlin2u> binni, same install if nothing breaks
[06:26] <andrew_> Stanley00, no dice with that approach
[06:26] <binni> urlin2u: okay, thanks.
[06:26] <stepnjump> Lasers, if you are still here, it worked with weechat! Thank you very much
[06:27] <Stanley00> andrew_: can you pastebin the output of command "mount"?
[06:28] <ubuntu_> <-- really desperate for installation help, stuck on same screen for 3 hours.. - .   -
[06:29] <andrew_> Stanley00,  http://pastebin.ca/2082947
[06:30] <andrew_> ubuntu_, what's on that screen?
[06:30] <andrew_> and did you get the right install for your system (x86, x64, desktop, laptop,etc)
[06:30] <Stanley00> andrew_: and you still cant read the files in /media/disk?
[06:30] <ubuntu_> andrew_: thx man, well basically its the LiveCD installation for ubuntu and, yea, really pathetic right? but I installed it in 2009 without these weird issues though
[06:31] <ubuntu_> andrew_: yeah I have 64 bit windows so I got the 64 bit ubuntu installer
[06:31] <ubuntu_> andrew_: oh i have a laptop though... but i just saw 1 option for 64 bit
[06:31] <dhruvasagar> Hey is there a way for me to run a bash script without having for the commands to actually work, just to kindof test what it is supposed to do ?
[06:31] <andrew_> Stanley00, I can view yes, but not write.
[06:31] <ubuntu_> andrew_: but thing is, its stuck on this screen saying Allocate Drive Space
[06:32] <ubuntu_> listing my partitions, telling me to select device for boot loader installation,
[06:32] <ubuntu_> and no matter what i pick it always tells me   : No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu.
[06:32] <ubuntu_> andrew_: any ideas what this all means?
[06:32] <Stanley00> andrew_: it's strange, can yout pastebin the out put of "ls -l /media/disk" please?
[06:33] <andrew_> Ubuntu - there should be an auto-partition tool included with the liveCD, did you use this, or try and set up your own custom partitions?
[06:33] <binni> dhruvasagar: if it doesn't require root privileges then run it under a dummy user and see what happens, if it requires root privileges and changes the system then maybe you can run it undir virtual box.
[06:33] <binni> under*
[06:33] <ubuntu_> UPDATE: I just realize all the partitions dont have mount points , should I set them? but problem is it only gives me /dos and /windows to set the mount points as....
[06:33] <ubuntu_> andrew_: im just following after you click on the desktop icon saying Install
[06:34] <andrew_> Stanley00, http://pastebin.ca/2082952
[06:34] <dhruvasagar> binni: yes I am aware of the virtualization options, this is actually a script written by me, some of the commands are run with sudo so they require that. But I just wanted to check and see if the messages in between commands are formatted correctly, I guess I will simply comment out stuff and confirm that
[06:35] <ubuntu_> andrew_: any ideas?
[06:35] <andrew_> ubuntu_, try restarting the install, and install straight off instead of using the "try it out" option?
[06:35] <ubuntu_> andrew_: but I want to dual boot
[06:35] <Stanley00> andrew_: hmm, is your username andrew? it looks normal here,
[06:36] <ubuntu_> andrew_: my whole point is i wanna put it on a 6 GB partition I just formatted , while leaving my windows in tact
[06:36] <andrew_> Stanley00, yeah, username is andrew.
[06:36] <ubuntu_> andrew_: so i think that if I just did the install straight off it would format everything right
[06:36] <ubuntu_> ?
[06:36] <sdperez79> does anyone play ava from ijji.com?
[06:36] <andrew_> ubuntu_, you'll have to replace the windows boot record with one from a bootloader and edit the bootloader as appropriate for a dual boot.
[06:36] <DontTrip> anyone have any trouble logging into google chrome "set up sync" in 11.04? It just keeps trying to authenticate and never errors out
[06:36] <Stanley00> andrew_: one more thing, can you pastebin "ls -l /media" and "cat /etc/fstab" ?
[06:37] <sdperez79> im am trying to run that fps shooter game on linux any ideas?
[06:38] <andrew_> Stanley00, http://pastebin.ca/2082953
[06:38] <Stanley00> andrew_: thanks, I will look at that
[06:38] <andrew_> Stanley00, np, thanks for taking a look.
[06:40] <greenmang0> hi friends, i am running few windows VMs on a linux system using virtual box, i want to access those VMs through other ubuntu and windows system in network... (access as in the GUI, so that developers can test the website on different versions of IE , FF, and Chrome) .. is that possible? and if yes, how
[06:41] <Stanley00> andrew_: what is the output of "groups andrew" ?
[06:41] <LigH> Greetings.
[06:41] <alkafoo> greenmang0: yes
[06:41] <andrew_> Stanley00, andrew : andrew adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin
[06:42] <LigH> I found a lot of websites talking about "Ubuntu hangs while booting unless I press a key". How may I help detecting my specific reason?
[06:42] <greenmang0> alkafoo, how can i do that?
[06:42] <ikonia> LigH: are you currently having a problem ?
[06:42] <alkafoo> greenmang0: there's a built-in VNC thing, let me see how one accesses it
[06:43] <Stanley00> andrew_: thay are all look normal.... cant figure out why...
[06:43] <LigH> ikonia: Not always, but today again.
[06:43] <ikonia> LigH: could you explain the problem please.
[06:43] <alkafoo> greenmang0: ah okay, Settings > Display > Remote Display (tab)
[06:43] <alkafoo> greenmang0: connect with vncviewer, I imagine
[06:43] <jroysdon> yup
[06:44] <andrew_> Stanley00, would it help if I gave you the error for when I try and write to the device?
[06:44] <alkafoo> greenmang0: actually I'm looking at a Windows version of VirtualBox just now and it says RDP, but there's definitely VNC support there too
[06:44] <andrew_> Stanley00, or should we create a separate fstab entry with specific arguments for this?
[06:44] <Stanley00> andrew_: oh, I forgot that,
[06:44] <alkafoo> greenmang0: dunno if that's just substituted for the Windows build or what
[06:44] <andrew_> Stanley00, forgot which? The fstab entry?
[06:45] <greenmang0> alkafoo, let me check
[06:45] <Stanley00> andrew_: the error message :))
[06:45] <LigH> I have a multiboot environment (Ubuntu 11 in 32 and 64 bit, and Windows XP). When I select the entry for one of the Ubuntu installations, sometimes it stays with a blank black screen; when I press any key, even just "Ctrl", the mouse switches off and on, and a few seconds later the magenta text boot screen with the 4 dots appears.
[06:45] <alkafoo> greenmang0: but even if it's just rdp and not vnc, you could use rdesktop or freerdp from Unixland
[06:45] <ikonia> LigH: how do you know the mouse switches on and off ?
[06:46] <bilegt> where is rc.conf in ubuntu?
[06:46] <alkafoo> bilegt: what're you trying to accomplish?
[06:46] <LigH> It is an optical mouse, partially transparent. The red LED is visible.
[06:46] <LigH> USB mouse.
[06:46] <andrew_> Stanley00, http://pastebin.ca/2082956
[06:46] <harry_> bilegt:/etc/init/rc.conf
[06:47] <ikonia> LigH: have you looked at the possability of removing the boot splash so you can see what's going on behind the boot up process ?
[06:48] <LigH> I may try that. I hope the GRUB Customizer has a matching option, or I would have to read the GRUB 2 manual first ...
[06:48] <andrew_> Stanley00, I also just looked at the permissions for a folder within /media/disk/ which revealed that it is read write, belonging to group: root
[06:49] <ikonia> LigH: grub customizer ?
[06:49] <Stanley00> andrew_: it said read-only? but mount said that it mount rw,
[06:49] <andrew_> in the file manager, it said read-write.
[06:49] <sdperez79> onplayonlinux how do i create a shortcut on ubuntu 11.04 on the desktop
[06:50] <andrew_> but the group says root, which is not a group that showed up in andrews groups andrew output
[06:50] <sdperez79> i accidentally deleted it
[06:50] <andrew_> would that be the trouble?
[06:50] <Stanley00> andrew_: I dont know why it said group root, but the owner has all permission, and the group has nothing
[06:51] <sdperez79> programs still there just wanted a short cut
[06:51] <andrew_> Stanley00, though the thing that strikes me as odd is that it refers to the drive as a read only FS
[06:51] <Stanley00> andrew_: I think you should backup your UDB and reformat it...
[06:51] <andrew_> Stanley00, just fdisk it or cfdisk it?
[06:52] <Stanley00> andrew_: use the Disk utility instead... I prefer GUI tool :)
[06:52] <LigH> ikonia: https://launchpad.net/grub-customizer -- used this to edit some options related to the appearance, e.g. using a lower-res mode for the GRUB menu. The shipped "StartUp Manager" is not really GRUB 2 compatible anymore.
[06:53] <ikonia> LigH: I've never used that tool so I don't know how it may/may not effect anything.
[06:53] <LigH> Afterwards I executed "sudo grub-update" to ensure it being rebuilt compatibly. Afterwards it started several times without delay, so it was usually fine.
[06:54] <LigH> It stalled sometimes before I ever installed grub-optimizer.
[06:54] <sdperez79> in playonlinux how do i make a shortcut from the programs i have installed(playinlinux)to desktop
[06:54] <LigH> So it is not related to this.
[06:54] <sdperez79> ubuntu11.04
[06:54] <LigH> Rather to a cold-starting device, probably.
[06:54] <ikonia> LigH: I'm not blaming it, I just saying I don't know how that tool works, so I don't know the effects it will have.
[06:55] <andrew_> Stanley00, which menu is the disk utility located under?
[06:55] <LigH> Currently it has the kernel parameters "quiet splash", Shall I try to remove both?
[06:56] <Stanley00> andrew_: did you backup ALL your usb?
[06:57] <andrew_> yup, got it now, cp -R /media/disk to a ~/backup folder
[06:57] <andrew_> and found out this system didn't have disk utility by default
[06:57] <andrew_> so it's downloading from the synaptic package manager now
[06:58] <LigH> Details about grub-optimizer: https://answers.launchpad.net/grub-customizer/+faq/1355 -- it aims at editing the menu order and misc. options, while preserving the dynamic generating features.
[06:58] <Stanley00> andrew_: start DIsk utility, just click on the USB diskdrive, look on the right panel, you will see format...
[06:58] <andrew_> Stanley00, what scheme should I use?
[06:59] <andrew_> MBR, right?
[06:59] <Stanley00> andrew_: yes
[07:00] <LigH> ikonia: Currently it has the kernel parameters "quiet splash". Shall I try to remove both?
[07:00] <ikonia> LigH: up to you.
[07:01] <LigH>  '<
[07:01] <LigH> BRB - maybe...
[07:04] <andrew_> Stanley00, thanks for the help, we're good to go now that the backup and reformat has happened.
[07:04] <dragonkiller666> I am trying to do a fresh install of ubuntu with 11
[07:05] <dragonkiller666> .04 With the liveusb i to boots but it gets to a point it stop and my screen goes black my screen comes up no dvi signal thats normal for my montior when theres no singal going to it
[07:06] <sdperez79> what is the alternative to camstudio?
[07:06] <wyang_> Could not locate executable g77
[07:06] <melvincv> hi all
[07:07] <wyang_> someone see this error message?
[07:07] <wyang_> i should install gcc ?
[07:07] <melvincv> how do I display the GRUB2 menu on starting Ubuntu 11.04? My GRUB menu seems to be hidden now.
[07:08] <sdperez79> anyone know a alternative to cam studio?
[07:08] <Stanley00> sdperez79: try recordmydesktop, or search in Ubuntu Software Center
[07:08] <sdperez79> thanks
[07:08] <dragonkiller666> melvincv i can't even get 11
[07:08] <dragonkiller666> .04 installed
[07:09] <melvincv> I asked as the GRUB2 configuration is very complex compared to GRUB.
[07:09] <melvincv> I can't figure out how to do it myself :(
[07:10] <ikonia> melvincv: can you see the time out option ?
[07:10] <Stanley00> melvincv: all config is in /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d/* , althoung it's a bit complex too :)
[07:10] <melvincv> Yes, I tried that in grub.cfg. Doesn't work...
[07:11] <melvincv> I need to boot to the recovery mode. How do I do that?
[07:11] <Stanley00> melvincv: press Shift or Ctrl at booting time doesnt help?
[07:11] <ikonia> melvincv: you need to do it from the grub menu, if you change the time out to above 0 you'll see the menu
[07:12] <melvincv> there are two timeouts: -1 and 30.
[07:12] <melvincv> I tried setting both to 30, doesn't work.
[07:13] <melvincv> Stanley00, is it shift or ctrl?
[07:13] <Stanley00> melvincv: nvm, how many OS do you have on your system?
[07:14] <Stanley00> melvincv: I dont remember, one of them will show the grub menu
[07:14] <melvincv> Just Ubuntu 11.04. I need to get to it's recovery mode.
[07:15] <Stanley00> melvincv: That's the point, it seem that if you have only one OS, the time out will not work at all :(
[07:15] <melvincv> OK, will the shift or ctrl key work if there is only one OS?
[07:16] <Stanley00> melvincv: I hope so
[07:16] <LigH> ikonia: Just had a kernel update for new Nvidia drivers; afterwards, the booting process got stuck with the mouse switching off, but not back on, so I had to reset the PC. Then it booted after a little while without pressing any key, but not with the expected amount of logging, fsck was the first I could read. You see, it is not reliable, and I may need another source of logs to search for possible reasons. Will try with the 64-bit version
[07:16] <LigH> afterwards.
[07:17] <ikonia> LigH: that to me sounds like you have a hardware issue
[07:17] <ikonia> LigH: possible the disk you are trying to boot not spinning up quick enough,
[07:17] <ikonia> or a simple motherboard error.
[07:17] <ikonia> or ram
[07:17] <ikonia> etc
[07:17] <LigH> Or USB.
[07:18] <ikonia> exactly.
[07:18] <LigH> I remember a version of Ubuntu years ago, which wouldn't boot at all unless I plugged out the APC BackUPS.
[07:18] <ikonia> LigH: I don't believe this is an ubuntu issue, rather a hardware issue as I've stated
[07:18] <ikonia> LigH: if it was an OS issue, I'd expect it to do it every time
[07:19] <dragonkiller666> i can get the 11.04 to boot from usb it get a point then it stops and my screen goes black
[07:19] <LigH> Yes, probably a driver which was not perfectly programmed, often due to the lack of specifications from the manufacturer.
[07:19] <ikonia> LigH: no, I'll say it again
[07:19] <ikonia> LigH: I don't believe this is a software error - it sounds like a hardware error
[07:20] <ikonia> LigH: if it was a software error, I'd expect it to be doing it every time.
[07:20] <ikonia> LigH: so not drivers. Hardware.
[07:21] <LigH> Well. How to detect those ... as long as it boots after a keypress (or one reset in a while), I doubt it is worth much more effort.
[07:21] <avelldiroll> dragonkiller666: did you check the md5sum of the iso file you used to make your liveUSB ? did you check the liveUSB on antother computer ?
[07:21] <ikonia> LigH: There is your answer then
[07:21] <LigH> :| - Some like philosophical replies more than others...
[07:21] <LigH> :P
[07:21] <LigH> \o CU
[07:22] <ikonia> LigH: it's not philosophical you just said it wasn't worth the effort, so then carry on
[07:25] <dragonkiller666> avelldiroll i just tested it on my wifes laptop and it worked fine
[07:26] <dragonkiller666> never mind it came up with error
[07:27] <avelldiroll> dragonkiller666: ok, so the culprit is most probably your usk key/disk, the iso or the process you used to build it
[07:28] <anjay-hard> how to disable utc in terminal
[07:28] <dragonkiller666> avelldiroll: (initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squasjfs failed: no such device can not mount /dev/loop /cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs on //filesystem.squashfs
[07:29] <anjay-hard> hi guys , how to disable utc in terminal
[07:30] <avelldiroll> dragonkiller666: the live system does not find the data it needs on the usb disk
[07:36] <scarleo> anjay-hard, utc is a global concept, you can't disable utc. What is it you want to do?
[07:37] <dragonkiller666> what do i need to do
[07:38] <anjay-hard> I am building a livecd  , the utc is not necessary
[07:38] <rww> anjay-hard: if you mean "how do I change my timezone?", sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata is the command-line way.
[07:39] <anjay-hard> let me try
[07:39] <Zgomot> /s irc.lug.ro
[07:39] <avelldiroll> darkcharl: test the usbkey (or try another one), check the iso's md5, and review the process you used to prepare your liveUSB
[07:39] <avelldiroll> arf sorry darkcharl, i meant dragonkiller666
[07:41] <anjay-hard> thx , rww
[07:41] <dragonkiller666> i used www.pendrivelinux.com/
[07:43] <farciarz84> what is the channel for 11.10?
[07:43] <avelldiroll> dragonkiller666: you're building your liveUSB from windows ?
[07:43] <rhin01> this farciarz84
[07:44] <rww> farciarz84: #ubuntu+1
[07:44] <avelldiroll> farciarz84: #ubuntu+1
[07:44] <rww> rhin01: no, this channel isn't for 11.10 until it's released
[07:44] <rhin01> ok
[07:44] <rhin01> I just abandoned 11.04
[07:44] <rhin01> finally
[07:44] <farciarz84> anyway skype doesn't dock in taskbar in 11.10 it is in unity bar. Unfortunately it disappeared from unity. Hot to bring it to screen?
[07:44] <farciarz84> hot=how
[07:45] <elky> My unity icons have all gone invisible. This is less than helpful.
[07:46] <farciarz84> ok but from console, I hope there is a way to bint it to my screen (skype proc)
[07:46] <farciarz84> bint=bring
[07:48] <farciarz84> because now I cannot do anything. There is skype process running and I cannot use it. Taskbar icon is not avaiable, unity icon cracshed.
[07:48] <avelldiroll> farciarz84: don't cross-post, your issue concern only #ubuntu+1, not here
[07:48] <linux> fafa
[07:48] <farciarz84> avelldiroll: Isn't the same in 11.04?
[07:48] <MyWay> hello, I'm running this command at boot: xset m 3 1 but It's not working, if I do it from terminal, after boot it is, why? How can I do to autorun it? Thank you!
[07:48] <avelldiroll> farciarz84: i don't know, but you are using 11.10 hence #ubuntu+1
[07:49] <farciarz84> avelldiroll: you know nobody responses there :/
[07:49] <farciarz84> avelldiroll: finally I ask how to pring gui process to screen which is general question for linu/ubuntu
[07:49] <farciarz84> pring=bring
[07:50] <avelldiroll> farciarz84: you can't expect the same level of support for a testing version, testing is for bug reporting after all it means "not ready to be supported"
[07:50] <ikonia> farciarz84: #ubuntu+1 is where you should be asking. Please take it herer
[07:50] <ikonia> there
[07:51] <farciarz84> ikonia: I did it already.
[07:51] <ikonia> farciarz84: then please wait for a response there, don't bring the issue to this channel please.
[07:51] <dragonkiller666> think i fuiger out what it was
[07:52] <avelldiroll> dragonkiller666: what was it then ?
[07:52] <dragonkiller666> The error "Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow" is because usb-creator.exe is not creating a valid casper-rw file holding ext2/ext3 filesystem
[07:53] <scarleo> farciarz84, just kill the process and start it again: killall skype
[07:55] <sw3439> hi
[07:55] <dragonkiller666> my dvd will not even boot it well get to the islinux 4.01 and just freeze
[07:57] <shaibn> Hello :) I'm at a bit of a problem. I have a install of Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop 64bit and when I go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard ; and click on Add to add another layout, it pops up a small popup really fast that I can't make out, and then just gets stuck. I can't close the Keyboard Preferences window, but I can move it around. Non of the buttons are clickable and the only way to close it, is to kill the PID. Any ideas what this might be?

[08:26] <roger21> hi, i can't get beep to work, any advice ?
[08:29] <iceroot> roger21: what does "cant get to work" mean?
[08:29] <sdperez79> kool, now just to find a fps game to replace ava
[08:29] <roger21> iceroot, no sound
[08:31] <iceroot> roger21: check "alsamixer" if "beep" is muted
[08:32] <iceroot> roger21: also check if the pcspkr module is loaded (lsmod)
[08:33] <silverarrow> this might be a silly question but would any usb hub work the same in buntu, or are powered ones performing any better?
[08:33] <StaRetji> Yo :) What would be the command to show dpkg -l (but page by page, because I can't scroll it) THX!
[08:33] <runlevelten> !soundbroken
[08:33] <runlevelten> !pulsebroken
[08:33] <runlevelten> !nattysoundissues
[08:34] <iceroot> StaRetji: command | less
[08:34] <StaRetji> iceroot: thx dude :)
[08:35] <roger21> iceroot, alsamixer seems fine, pcspkr isn't loaded, how do load it ?
[08:36] <iceroot> roger21: hm as it seems 11.10 is no longer using that module, dont know what 11.04 is doing there
[08:37] <silverarrow> 11.10 is out?
[08:37] <roger21> 11.04 here
[08:37] <auronandace> silverarrow: not stable release yet
[08:37] <silverarrow> I see
[08:37] <silverarrow> stable is always debatable anyhow
[08:37] <roger21> iceroot, ok i worls with pcspkr, thanks
[08:37] <ikonia> silverarrow: no
[08:38] <roger21> hum how do i have it loaded at startup again ?
[08:38] <roxxy> i am unable to open my home folder, it opens VLC up.  is there some where i can check to see if the file path has changed? if so how or where can i check to see and correct it?
[08:38] <roxxy> or a website that would help me with this issue.
[08:40] <silverarrow> roxxy, not shore, but you could hopen folder, then chose open in vlc to check?
[08:41] <silverarrow> roxxy, if things are lost you could investigate with something like GDmap
[08:41] <x404x> sounds like a bad symlink or cross linked file , if the shortcut to home changed to open vlc f.ex ?
[08:44] <x404x> lol sound like game over for the raid mr opps ?
[08:45] <roxxy> it opens all my files that is in my home folder in vlc. and x404x its does that on my quickaccess browser and any other way
[08:45] <x404x> I never quite get over the days when kernel panic changes to oops
[08:46] <x404x> tryed to open a file explorer ? or open another path like computer and browse to home
[08:47] <silverarrow> roxxy, funny, like vlc mozilla plugin really have taken over
[08:47] <alkafoo> open a terminal and run ls ~/
[08:53] <roxxy> silverarrow: i believe it has! lol freaking did an update and had to restart my computer and it did that
[08:55] <jtza8> I'm still using Ubuntu 10.04, I'm also used to using the Emacs key-binding C-M-t

[08:56] <alkafoo> sitmaudat: hi
[08:56] <sitmaudat>  I wanna learn something about linux
[08:57] <jtza8> alkafoo: I'd like Gnome to ignore its shortcut key.
[08:58] <elky> Hrm. My unity icons are still invisible. Any way to make them visible again?
[08:59] <jtza8> IIRC, I might have been the guy that added that shortcut via the Gnome registry... oops, oh well... I might be able to fix it from here. Thanks :)

[09:02] <chaospsychex> Bhavesh: Damn dude, you need to do a reinstall then
[09:02] <Bhavesh> chaospsychex: :(

[09:03] <chaospsychex> good thing you weren't doing a BIOS upgrade or something
[09:03] <Wiz_KeeD> anyone?
[09:04] <chaospsychex> Wiz_KeeD: System>Administration>Users and Groups

[09:07] <freckle> Hi. I am getting a problem with the lightning plugin for thunderbird not being compatible .. I am using TB 3.1.13 and lightning 1.0b5
[09:07] <pixie79> hi all, I am looking to build a basic live server cd but am unsure if there is an ubuntu based live server image out there that I could base my work on to save reintenting the wheel (or any other OS), basically all i need is for it to boot the box from usb/cd and allow SSH - after which i will add xinetd.
[09:08] <jtza8> Who thinks a "registry" is a good idea anyway (other than Gnome)?
[09:09] <jtza8> I can't seem to find that keybinding I was looking for.
[09:11] <sitmaudat> and I am getting a problem with my graphic card, Nvidia GForce 310M.I can't install the Graphics driver. My ubuntu 11.04 is 64bits version
[09:11] <sitmaudat> how can i do
[09:12] <roxxy> :\ even the gui settings say the directiroy is correct and the vlc is correct also
[09:12] <racho> sitmaudat, are you using the Additional Drivers tool?
[09:13] <sitmaudat> ys   but it doesn't work
[09:13] <racho> sitmaudat, what kind of error does it give?
[09:14] <sitmaudat> if i install the driver it offer  .i can't use the unity
[09:15] <racho> sitmaudat, did you try using the other driver suggestions?
[09:15] <sitmaudat> no yet
[09:17] <sitmaudat> racho    is there any other method?
[09:19] <wyang_> Could not locate executable g77
[09:19] <wyang_> some idea on this?
[09:22] <racho> wyang_, what operation gives you this error?
[09:23] <wyang_> i am installing the autotest server
[09:24] <wyang_> actually i am not sure which packet need g77
[09:26] <hamed> hi when i try to install ubuntu on my laptop the hard converted to just 1 part and it didn't see the partitions
[09:26] <racho> wyang_, i think the g77 was connected with the f2c translator
[09:28] <hamed> oh any one here
[09:28] <hamed> ?
[09:28] <chaospsychex> hello
[09:28] <hamed> hello
[09:28] <wyang_> racho, fortran to c?
[09:29] <wyang_> racho, i search the internet, it mentioned that previously it is a part of gcc
[09:29] <wyang_> but after 4.0, gcc do not support it
[09:29] <racho> wyang_, i suppose you could get the shared libs or the actual fort compiler if it's in the dependencies
[09:30] <wyang_> hmm... how?
[09:32] <racho> wyang_, gfortran
[09:32] <sux> Hi everyone, I baught an HP-dv7-4285dx laptop which comes with switachable graphics(intel/ati-readon), and 6GB of RAM . I installed ubuntu 11.04 recently and found out it only shows me 2GB.. does that mean I don't have a linux compatible hardware or what?
[09:33] <wyang_> racho, let me have a try

[09:52] <HyperJapan> If I were to install Kubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 right now, when the final or another beta comes round, do I need to do a fresh install or update-manager -d, or can I just run normal updates to bring me to the latest release?
[09:52] <csenger41> lag: it may be PSU problem
[09:52] <lag> csenger41: No, it was shutdown by the OS
[09:52] <lag> csenger41: It shutdown properly, but I'm unsure what caused it
[09:52] <almoxarife> hamed: windows has taken all of the hard drive, consider wubi

[09:57] <sux> Hi, can anyone help me? I have laptop with 6GB of ram and intel/ati-readon switchable graphics card. I installed ubuntu 11.04, but it shows me that I have 2.3 GB of RAM.. and tried debian and gentoo live CD to check if I have the same problem in other destro. but still it keep showing me that I have 2.3GB of RAM, is it because of switchable graphics?
[09:57] <lag> csenger41: I'd like to know what channel to take it to?
[09:58] <hamed> aufs                  1.3G  133M  1.1G  11% /

[09:58] <csenger41> sux: i think u installed 32bit version of ubuntu
[09:58] <FloodBot1> hamed: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:58] <csenger41> hamed: use pastebin
[09:59] <csenger41> lag: idk, maybe u should try asking it here later when some smarter ppl are here
[09:59] <sux> csenger41, but when I tried live-cd of 64 bit it still shows me the same result?
[10:00] <csenger41> sux: i think it isnt because of switchable graphics
[10:01] <csenger41> sux: try installing a 64bit Ubuntu, it should solve the problem
[10:01] <Pooky1> hi guys, I have little problem. When i start ubuntu there is error "Can't mount disk /tmp becouse serious error" i skip it and then it stop on checking screen ( - Stopping System ... - Starting bluetooth - Starting web server - Checking battery state ) i remove this disk bat i dont know where setup to don't mount it
[10:01] <sux> csenger41, hmmm.. Thanks.. let me go and install it would only take about 15 minutes.. let's see if solves the problem
[10:02] <ikonia> Pooky1: whoaaa, slow down there
[10:02] <tapout> how do i remove all video drivers for my ati card?
[10:02] <csenger41> sux: ok, bye good luck :)
[10:02] <Pooky1> ikonia: ok ok
[10:02] <ikonia> Pooky1: is /tmp on a disk that is a problem ?
[10:03] <csenger41> tapout: launch jockey and hit remove
[10:03] <Pooky1> ikonia: tmp should be on root disk, bat it seems it not
[10:03] <theadmin> Pooky1: More of an obvious question, is /tmp on the same device as /, I mean, you did not specify a separate mountpoint for it, right?
[10:03] <theadmin> Err...
[10:03] <ikonia> Pooky1: do you have an ubuntu CD you can boot from ?
[10:03] <theadmin> Well, I think I've been clear enough
[10:03] <ikonia> theadmin: crystal
[10:03] <Pooky1> ikonia: not right there bat i can do it if there is no another option
[10:04] <ikonia> Pooky1: we need to know the issue you are having with your disk, it's easier to do this from external media, such as a livecd
[10:04] <tapout> csenger41, the weird thing is, jockey says its' not enabled/installed.  I know the amd binary they gave me was hosed
[10:04] <theadmin> LiveCD, liveUSB, anything, not necessarily Ubuntu, by the way, though preferable, Pooky1
[10:05] <Pooky1> theadmin: i do not specifice any  another location for /tmp bat it seems its on the disk which i remove - i check fstab bat there is only one disk to mount
[10:05] <Pooky1> theadmin: i have access to console
[10:05] <theadmin> Pooky1: Hm, what *is* your fstab?
[10:05] <theadmin> Pooky1: Can you pastebin it?
[10:05] <Pooky1> i cant
[10:05] <ikonia> Pooky1: can you pastebin your fstab ?
[10:05] <conntrack> fs-tab
[10:05] <ikonia> conntrack: got anything useful to say ?
[10:05] <Pooky1> the pc which is fstab dont have access to network
[10:06] <tapout> recovery -> xorg low graphics mode -> ran the amd-uninstall.sh --force, ran jockey, enabled their driver, and rebooted... FIXED.  Yay.. thanks csenger41
[10:06] <csenger41> tapout: yw ^.^
[10:06] <csenger41> i have a question too guys
[10:06] <ikonia> Pooky1: could you copy the line that says /tmp in your fstab for us
[10:06] <csenger41> how can i adjust my monitor contrast and gamma?
[10:07] <csenger41> its a laptop
[10:07] <ikonia> csenger41: that's normally done at the hardware level
[10:07] <theadmin> Pooky1: Does fstab have a line saying "shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0"? It's the only thing that seems related to it in my fstab
[10:07] <ikonia> csenger41: I've never seen a laptop that can do that
[10:08] <csenger41> under Windows 7 it can be done with ATI Catalyst
[10:08] <ikonia> csenger41: if the linux drivers support it, I'd imagine the same is true then
[10:08] <Pooky1> oh
[10:08] <theadmin> Pooky1: Can't be sure that's what it is, though, with my 3.0 kernel things may be a bit different...
[10:09] <Pooky1> damit you right
[10:09] <paulus68> csenger41: these are 2 different OS and you can try to install the ATI drivers afterwards
[10:09] <csenger41> but on Ubuntu if I install the driver from jockey, it becomes slow as hell
[10:09] <Pooky1> i miss the line with /tmp
[10:09] <Pooky1> damit
[10:09] <ikonia> csenger41: that's just a limitation of the ati drivers.....the support for all cards is not great in linux
[10:10] <paulus68> ubuntu_: especially if you are running on 64bit
[10:10] <csenger41> but if ati driver is NOT installed, the performance is much better
[10:10] <paulus68> csenger41: especially if you run on 64 bit
[10:10] <theadmin> csenger41: You can use the "xgamma" tool for gamma adjustement via command-line, but I'm not sure about that other thing
[10:10] <joe-f3> is it possible to have one local IP point to another? (a LAN ip changed to something else, and I need to point basically <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS>)
[10:10] <ikonia> csenger41: that's not unusual for some cards
[10:10] <ikonia> Pooky1: 64bit has nothing to do with it
[10:10] <Pooky1> ok, i comment it and try reboot it
[10:10] <ikonia> Pooky1: darn it, not you, sorry
[10:11] <ikonia> joe-f3: could you explain it a bit better please.
[10:11] <paulus68> ikonia: you fell in the same trap lol
[10:11] <csenger41> its 32bit and an older ATI Radeon HD2600 card
[10:11] <ikonia> csenger41: possibly why the modern drivers support it poor
[10:12] <Pooky1> well now is there no error, bat still and on same :D can get to login screen from console manualy?
[10:13] <joe-f3> ikonia: i'm running membase, and it's no longer connecting as all of the node ip's have changed.. i basically need a resolv.conf type of thing but one ip to another..
[10:13] <joe-f3> ikonia: it's basically a quick hack so i can get my app up until couchbase can look at it
[10:14] <ikonia> joe-f3: just cheat it in the hostfile
[10:14] <ikonia> joe-f3: map the ip address to a hostname in the host file, then reference the machines by hostname rather than IP
[10:14] <csenger41> so any other software that can adjust contrast and gamma like catalyst?
[10:16] <tapout> pidgin is supposed to be at:  ~/.purple, but it's not.  Any idea where it would be ?
[10:17] <joe-f3> ikonia: i can't change the current bad ip that it's calling.. i'll google hostfile
[10:17] <theadmin> tapout: That's the normal configuration directory for it, it won't store configs elsewhere
[10:17] <ikonia> joe-f3: if you can't change the ip - then you can't do it
[10:17] <csenger41> well bye guys
[10:17] <csenger41> ill try installing catalyst from ati homepage
[10:19] <tapout> theadmin, ok thanks.  I see the problem :)
[10:20] <joe-f3> ikonia: i'm at least able to override the bad ip with a good dns entry for now.. :)
[10:20] <Chotaz> Hello everyone I have a general question, but might aswell ask here since the system I'm using is Ubuntu. We want to create a sort of Raido on our company, and we're searching for a way to do so, like creating a shared playlist, that everyone can independantly add songs to and have a computer reproducing it.
[10:20] <joe-f3> ikonia: can i create a local dns entry, that points to the correct ip?
[10:21] <ikonia> joe-f3: just use /etc/hosts
[10:22] <theadmin> Chotaz: Icecast?
[10:23] <JLuc> hello
[10:23] <Chotaz> theadmin: I'm gonna search for it.
[10:24] <JLuc> im on a  basic natty ubuntu freshly installed. What is the name of the file manager ?
[10:24] <theadmin> JLuc: Nautilus
[10:25] <JLuc> ok thanks. in what repertory is it ?
[10:25] <theadmin> JLuc: Uhm, I think it is in "main".
[10:25] <KIAaze> and if you meant folder:
[10:25] <JLuc> i got it ! in usr/bin
[10:25] <ikonia> JLuc: it's already installed
[10:26] <JLuc> i needed the adress for another program preferences
[10:26] <ComradeHaz`> Hi all. Running a live 11.04 and have just installed the lated util-linux package that appears to be available, but the version of fdisk packaged therein is out of date and contains a bug that causes me a problem. It is fixed in later versions. Is there upstream stuff, the equivalent of Debian's testing or Unstable that might contain a later version?
[10:26] <KIAaze> try the which command next time: "which nautilus" ;)
[10:27] <KIAaze> dpkg -L and apt-file also come in handy to find files from packages or vice-versa
[10:27] <JLuc> ok
[10:28] <tomodachi> ComradeHaz`: well fdisk is a command line tool with very few, if any dependencies. You can always download a newer "deb" extract the binary and use it from there i believe
[10:28] <Pooky1> Ok guys, ubuntu stuck on "Stopping anachronictic cron" and I can't run gdm manually any idea how deal with it?
[10:28] <JLuc> great !
[10:28] <tomodachi> ComradeHaz`: or just compile it from source
[10:28] <ComradeHaz`> tomodachi: yeah, I was looking for a version, but I don't actually know where to get it from
[10:28] <ikonia> Pooky1: what's happened to your machine ?
[10:29] <tomodachi> ComradeHaz`: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ should have it, check there
[10:29] <Pooky1> ikonia: many things...bat i just move it on collage and it broken
[10:29] <tomodachi> ComradeHaz`: maybe you can use cfdisk , or parted or gparted instead though?
[10:29] <Pooky1> ikonia: day before it works just fine
[10:30] <ikonia> Pooky1: do you get any errors/warnings on boot up ?
[10:30] <ehw>  /win 2
[10:30] <ehw> urgh
[10:30] <ComradeHaz`> hmm, not sure tomodachi, valid point. How does cfdisk differ?
[10:30] <Pooky1> ikonia: nothing, just normal boot and then it stuck on this last line
[10:31] <tomodachi> ComradeHaz`: its adifferent tool for partitioning a bit more "graphgical" than fdisk
[10:31] <ikonia> Pooky1: failing to start cron isn't a massive problem,
[10:31] <Pooky1> i dont think it  fail on it
[10:31] <Pooky1> it just stop on it
[10:31] <tapout> how do you guys organize your photos on ubuntu?  I have so many photos and i want to encrypt SOME of them :)
[10:31] <Pooky1> before it stuck on "battery checking"
[10:31] <Pooky1> so i reainstall gnome-power-manager
[10:31] <Pooky1> and now it stuck on this
[10:32] <ikonia> why do you re-install things ?
[10:32] <ikonia> Pooky1: something must have happened to this machine for /tmp to be removed from fstab and packages needing to be re-installed
[10:33] <KIAaze> tapout: encrypt how? like with ecryptfs? or password protected?
[10:33] <tapout> either/or
[10:34] <tapout> was hoping something was integrated with it
[10:34] <KIAaze> ecryptfs-mount-private is the easiest way to get an encrypted Private dir I think
[10:34] <Pooky1> ikonia: yes, something happend bat i dont have idea what. Now i remove one disk which make boot error and now i use only the "root" disk to boot. I know there is problem bat i just want solve it
[10:34] <KIAaze> then just place the pictures you want to encrypt in there
[10:34] <KIAaze> but by default, it gets mounted when you log in, so anybody using your account will see them
[10:34] <pamwe_chete> is it possible to have a wm in ubuntu in kiosk mode, with access to firefox only, and with firefox restricted to one website?
[10:34] <ikonia> Pooky1: because you don't know what's happened and why, and you've changing the disk config, it may be better to backup your data and re-install
[10:34] <KIAaze> otherwise as a software, shotwell is quite good
[10:35] <KIAaze> but it's also the only one I tried  since it's the default one on ubuntu
[10:35] <ComradeHaz`> gah, tomodachi, cfdisk cotains the same bug.
[10:35] <pamwe_chete> shotwell is rubbish because it doesn't convert (eg jpg to png) and doesn't resize photos
[10:35] <KIAaze> for password protected dirs, I'm not quite sure
[10:35] <KIAaze> but I suppose it should be possible with ecryptfs too somehow
[10:36] <Pooky1> ikonia: it's last solution and i don't have nothing there to backup it on. I was glad when i find screwdriver... what about some log? it should say what went wrong
[10:36] <KIAaze> pamwe_chete: then what is better? :)
[10:36] <tapout> pamwe_chete, what else is there?  shotwell is highly rated with the reviews
[10:36] <ikonia> Pooky1: it won't, and you'll spend more time chasing something that may/may not have happened.
[10:37] <ikonia> Pooky1: use the second disk you had to backup to
[10:37] <Pooky1> ikonia: my second disk is full
[10:37] <pamwe_chete> KIAaze: i guess i'm hoping the devs improve shotwell, as it's a default app
[10:37] <pamwe_chete> i'm not sure what there is to replace it
[10:37] <ikonia> Pooky1: what data do you currently have on the machine ?
[10:37] <Pooky1> ikonia: and i have really tuned up ubuntu for work so i really wan't setting everythink again
[10:38] <AFD> I am trying to add a password prompt before a .sh script can be run. Can someone tell me how to do this please?
[10:38] <tapout> have you guys tried picasa?  someone mentioned that
[10:38] <Pooky1> ikonia: on another movies, series programs, backups
[10:38] <ikonia> Pooky1: but your machine is a mess, it's had serious errors (devices dissapearing from fstab) and now your randomly installing packages, I'd strongly suggest re-installing the OS after a data backup
[10:39] <Pooky1> ikonia: we meaby missunderstanding on fstab nothing dissaper i remove this disk i just miss line on fstab which mount this disk when i configure it
[10:39] <avelldiroll> pamwe_chete: shotwell aim more at being a collection manager than an image editor, the features you are asking for are those af an image editor
[10:39] <ikonia> Pooky1: I see, the machine is till in a serious mess though.
[10:39] <avelldiroll> *aims
[10:40] <KIAaze> AFD: http://pastebin.com/yGjVb2cw about as unsecure as possible ^^
[10:40] <KIAaze> but it works
[10:40] <tapout> i wish i could get a local dropbox running, where all the files are hosted locally.  I know about rsync and that, but where it's integrated right into win7/ubuntu and you don't have to do anything :)
[10:40] <pamwe_chete> avelldiroll: then imagemagick should be installed by default
[10:40] <AFD> KIAaze: thank you!
[10:40] <pamwe_chete> for a desktop
[10:40] <paulus68> Pooky1: the best thing is to do a backup and do a fresh installation
[10:41] <KIAaze> the password is in clear text in the script, so it's pretty worthless as a security measure
[10:41] <AFD> KIAaze:  I understand but for this purpose I think that is safe enough, it is more so that the script is never run by accident
[10:41] <Pooky1> ikonia you are right, bat i really can't do it now, i just need to keep it alive for couple days when next ubuntu realease come out i will make fresh install, bat now i really need to keep it work
[10:41] <theadmin> AFD: Why not just have a "Are you sure?" prompt?
[10:41] <KIAaze> you could try doing something with md5 and sh1
[10:42] <KIAaze> sha1*
[10:42] <tapout> afd, couldn't you do a sudoers account where it can only run 1 script and then they have to sudo to do it?  something like that
[10:42] <ikonia> Pooky1: then deal with it in a couple of days
[10:42] <KIAaze> but not sure how to do it directly without some more trying
[10:42] <tapout> i think sudo lets you do what you're trying, you can setup an account to run certain scripts, and then to run them, they have to sudo (i think this works)... i don't think sudo is only for root stuff
[10:43] <avelldiroll> pamwe_chete: if you know how to use imagemagick, you know how to use the command line, so you know how to use apt-get
[10:43] <Pooky1> ikonia thanks for help i will deal with it
[10:43] <KIAaze> (and yeah, being a script, if it's readable, there is not much point in password-protecting it, unless it's some kind of binary script like those game installers)
[10:43] <AFD> It's something my boss wants rolling out ASAP (which is always the case) but we may revisit it later. I knew about the sudo option for just running that one file but it's more of a double-check (I like the idea of a "Are you sure" prompt btw)
[10:43] <pamwe_chete>  avelldiroll: the average user wants tobe able to edit photos out of the box
[10:44] <theadmin> KIAaze: Rather simple, actually -- read x ; mkfifo tmp ; echo $x > tmp ; md5=$(md5sum tmp|awk '{print $2;}') ; if [ $md5 == "hash_of_needed_password" ] ...
[10:44] <AFD> theadmin: I'm copying that for future use ;)
[10:44] <KIAaze> me too :)
[10:44] <KIAaze> thx
[10:45] <tapout> is there a dropbox alternative that is *secure*?  where no matter what, they can't see your data/files?
[10:45] <tapout> i know dropbox says they can't, but it's been proven that they can
[10:45] <KIAaze> spideroak!
[10:45] <theadmin> tapout: What KIAaze said.
[10:45] <avelldiroll> pamwe_chete: do you know anyone that keeps a system "out of the box", or we don't have the same definition of the "average user"
[10:45] <KIAaze> spideroak also allows you to have multiple syncs
[10:45] <theadmin> tapout: spideroak does CLIENT-side encryption, soo...
[10:46] <theadmin> tapout: Or, honestly, just put your stuff in a TrueCrypt container on the dropbox :P
[10:46] <avelldiroll> pamwe_chete: anyway, this was discussed at length when gimp was removed from the livecd to get more room
[10:47] <paulus68> theadmin: and just pray that you don't loose your passphrase ;)
[10:47] <avelldiroll> pamwe_chete: the fact is, translations are more important than image editing out of the box
[10:48] <theadmin> paulus68: Well, heh, true enough
[10:48] <JLuc> what is the shortcut to switch screen with keyboard ?
[10:49] <tomodachi> JLuc: switch desktop screen you mean+ ctrl+alt left (or right)
[10:49] <Nemie> ctrl+alt+ arrows
[10:49] <JLuc> yes super !
[10:49] <tomodachi> JLuc: you can also use "windows button + s" for an overview of desktops in unity
[10:49] <theadmin> tomodachi: We have no windows button. We have the Super key.
[10:50] <JLuc> great tomodachi
[10:50] <tomodachi> theadmin: is that what its called? (i have a macbook but didnt think i could call it the command key, wich it is for me)
[10:51] <theadmin> tomodachi: Well, in Linux that key is called "Super_L" for the left one and "Super_R" for the right one, according to xmodmap
[10:52] <tomodachi> theadmin: ok thanks for the input, thats good to know
[10:52] <Fargh> hi all
[10:53] <Fargh> anyone can help me with setting up routing for vpn pptp ?
[10:53] <Fargh> vpn is working, only issue is that all traffic is chunneled trough the VPN.
[10:53] <theadmin> Fargh: Well, like what? Do you connect to the internet with pptp? If so, just "sudo route add default dev ppp0"
[10:54] <sobersabre> hi.
[10:54] <JLuc> when cmaking a programm, the dest rep should be /usr/bin shouldn it ?
[10:54] <Fargh> the theadmin, i want to avoit that all traffic goes trough the vpn
[10:54] <theadmin> Fargh: Ah... More complicated then
[10:54] <p1oooop> hello sobersabre
[10:54] <JLuc> or whatever
[10:54] <dandandrums> hello soersabre and p1oooop
[10:54] <p1oooop> odam, I need to clear some files
[10:55] <sobersabre> I have messed up the partition table. I thought need to reinstall grub. I booted into the live CD, chrooted into the root partition, mount -a, mounted /proc, sys, etc. and ran: update-grub.
[10:55] <p1oooop> hay dandandrums
[10:55] <JLuc> or /opt
[10:55] <sobersabre> After the reboot I am still getting grub rescue> prompt.
[10:55] <sobersabre> I think I didn't do what I thought I did.
[10:55] <dandandrums> sobersabre, i had the same issue once upon a time
[10:55] <JLuc> or /usr/local
[10:56] <p1oooop> hmmm
[10:56] <sobersabre> so what do I need to run to re-install the grub boot manager properly with this new grub2 ?
[10:56] <dandandrums> i took the affected harddrive, put it in a usb disk caddy, connected that to a ubuntu machine, took all the files i could and re-installed
[10:56] <wildbat> sobersabre: you need to reinstall grub2
[10:56] <sobersabre> do I edit any /etc files ?
[10:56] <sobersabre> wildbat: how do I reinstall grub2 ? dpkg-reinstall ?
[10:56] <sobersabre> sorry, aptitude reinstall ?!
[10:57] <wildbat> !grub | sobersabre: chroot again and do grub-install
[10:57] <sobersabre> sounds .... inherently incorrect: the app is already installed. I only need to install something into MBR.
[10:57] <sobersabre> Oh, this is what I need!
[10:57] <sobersabre> thanks.
[10:57] <wildbat> or follow the links for other method.'
[10:57] <Pooky5> It works :)))) thanks ikonia and theadmin :)))
[10:58] <p1oooop> I need to learn some sql
[10:59] <wildbat> p1oooop: there is #mysql channel.and you should read the doc online.
[10:59] <theadmin> wildbat: Well, mysql is not exactly sql
[10:59] <dandandrums> hi guys, i'm using the most up to date ubuntu 11.10 version but having issues with lightdm and instead using gdm, it has something to do with not having appropiate permissions, can anyone point me in the right direction for help?
[11:00] <jrib> dandandrums: just state your issue with details
[11:00] <theadmin> 11.10 is not out yet, jrib
[11:00] <theadmin> !ubuntu+1 | dandandrums
[11:00] <jrib> dandandrums: oh right.  See theadmin
[11:00] <dandandrums> ubottu: thanks, will head into #ubuntu+1
[11:01] <sobersabre> ok, I'm up!
[11:01] <sobersabre> thanks, wildbat
[11:01] <KIAaze> theadmin: just concerning the password protected script mentioned earlier: had to make some changes to get it to work: http://paste2.org/p/1672442
[11:02] <KIAaze> (yep, it's not cleaned up)
[11:02] <new-ubuntu-user> hi guys
[11:02] <new-ubuntu-user> i need some help here
[11:03] <new-ubuntu-user> does anyone know how to install vodafone mobile connect modem on ubuntu 11.04?
[11:03] <Diamondcite> Is that exactly what it's called?
[11:04] <new-ubuntu-user> Vodafone Mobile Connect (VMC)
[11:04] <new-ubuntu-user> yes
[11:05] <theadmin> KIAaze: Ah, well, the basic idea was there anyway
[11:05] <Diamondcite> I have to go, but try thos for further reading: http://www.greenhughes.com/content/vodafone-mobile-connect-ubuntu-netbooks
[11:06] <paulus68> new-ubuntu-user:  try this http://www.randombugs.com/linux/install-vodafone-mobile-connect-linux.html
[11:06] <wildbat> KIAaze: echo will ADD a newline to so ~ the hash won't match
[11:06] <theadmin> wildbat: Ah, true enough. KIAaze, use echo -n there
[11:07] <KIAaze> well, it did work, but yes forgot the -n
[11:07] <wildbat> or md5sum <<< $x
[11:07] <KIAaze> <<< ?
[11:08] <KIAaze> interestinmg didn't know the <<< trick. :)
[11:08] <wildbat> redirect input with string
[11:09] <sdperez79> how do i install a bz2 app?
[11:10] <theadmin> sdperez79: It's an archive, extract it, there should be a file called "INSTALL" or "README" inside, normally.
[11:11] <sdperez79> its a exe file
[11:12] <theadmin> sdperez79: You make no sense. exes don't run in Linux.
[11:12] <sdperez79> i am new and i know exe dont run in linux but thats what i get when i extrac
[11:13] <auronandace> !software | sdperez79
[11:13] <theadmin> sdperez79: Then, this is not for Linux, and you should throw it away
[11:13] <LjL> sdperez79: ok, where did you get that file from and what is it
[11:13] <sdperez79> the file is cligrab-<IP_ADDRESS>.bz2
[11:13] <sdperez79> http://clipgrab.de/en
[11:13] <auronandace> !find clipgrab | sdperez79
[11:13] <LjL> sdperez79: that page says "for Windows"...
[11:14] <sdperez79> there is a linux version
[11:14] <LjL> sdperez79: so get the Linux version. which does *not* contain an .exe file, i've just tried it.
[11:14] <Diamondcite> sdperez79: Use the 'file' command on the .exe if it says it's windows, won't work as good
[11:15] <Diamondcite> sdperez79: For example: file clipgrab.exe
[11:16] <Diamondcite> patcher.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows     <---- windows app output
[11:16] <sdperez79> my file is clipgrab-<IP_ADDRESS>.bz2
[11:16] <theadmin> sdperez79: Right, it does not contain any exes.
[11:16] <LjL> sdperez79: type "bunzip2 clipgrab-<IP_ADDRESS>" to extract it.
[11:16] <LjL> sdperez79: type "bunzip2 clipgrab-<IP_ADDRESS>.bz" to extract it.

[11:17] <theadmin> sdperez79: It just contains a file, which apparently is a binary. Extract it, make it executable, move it to /usr/local/bin or another folder in your $PATH
[11:19] <MonkeyDust> i think the installer for clipgrab is a linux thing, but the program itself is for win

[11:19] <salvatore> hi there i am trying to install the ruby 1,9.2 from terminal with this script sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1. But i get ruby 1.8...why? any suggestion?
[11:20] <auronandace> !find ruby | salvatore
[11:20] <LjL> !info ruby1.9.1
[11:21] <LjL> salvatore: is that on Natty?
[11:21] <salvatore> yes
[11:21] <LjL> salvatore: how do you know you're getting ruby 1.8?
[11:22] <salvatore> ruby --version
[11:22] <LjL> salvatore: run ruby1.9.1 --version instead
[11:22] <ikonia> which ruby
[11:23] <ikonia> "which ruby"
[11:23] <salvatore> ok
[11:24] <salvatore> ok if i write ur script what version will i be using?
[11:25] <LjL> salvatore: scripts will use ruby 1.8 by default. i guess there must be a good reason for that. you must run them explicitly with ruby1.9.1, or perhaps (though i doubt it) you can "sudo update-alternatives --config ruby" to change the default
[11:26] <auronandace> salvatore: which is a terminal command, not a script
[11:27] <salvatore> if i write this command sudo update-alternatives --config ruby response is a message errore: no alternative for ruby
[11:27] <ljsoftnet> salvatore if u run that command ubuntu will install whats in the repositories
[11:28] <LjL> salvatore: ok, as i said i was doubting that would work. just run your scripts with ruby1.9.1 when you need to use that version
[11:29] <salvatore> so now i got 2 versions installed on my computer? 1.8 and 1.9.1?
[11:29] <LjL> salvatore: that's correct
[11:29] <LjL> salvatore: and again, i'm betting there is a good reason why 1.8 is the one being used by default. 1.9.1 probably breaks older scripts.
[11:29] <salvatore> ok thanks
[11:30] <xoveruk1> what are good websites for wireless hardware reviews?
[11:30] <ikonia> xoveruk1: offtopic for this channel

[11:31] <MonkeyDust> xoveruk1: wrong channel, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:34] <JLuc> i have compiled a programm (scribus svn). after make install, it doesnt appear in menus. How do i launch it ?
[11:35] <MonkeyDust> JLuc: rty Alt-F2
[11:35] <MonkeyDust> JLuc: try Alt-F2
[11:35] <JLuc> ok
[11:35] <ikonia> JLuc: you have to run it from a command line interface
[11:35] <JLuc> its a graphic programm, not a command line one
[11:35] <LjL> JLuc: that's what you happens when you compile stuff instead of getting it from the repositories :)(
[11:36] <ikonia> JLuc: but it needs to be launched from a command line
[11:36] <JLuc> ok
[11:36] <JLuc> there must be a way for it to appear in menus ?
[11:36] <LjL> JLuc: sure, you can add it, but i'm not sure how anymore
[11:37] <ahhughez> yo, can anyone explain/help me get my apple bluetooth keyboard working... I can run 'hcitool scan' and it finds the keyboard and gives me the mac address for it. However, when I exec sudo bluez-test-device trusted THE_MAC_ADDRESS  I get the following... .....'dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist: Does Not Exist' any ideas?
[11:38] <LjL> JLuc: you can try with Alacarte, but i'm not sure that's the correct tool anymore, with Unity and all the new stuff...
[11:38] <theadmin> ahhughez: Is the bluez daemon, if there's such a thing at all, running?
[11:38] <theadmin> ahhughez: Because, I got a similar thing due to a stopped daemon once
[11:39] <JLuc> ok. i un-activated unity so.
[11:40] <sdperez79> can someone plz tell me how to download any flv video from the net?on ubuntu
[11:41] <tapout> when i have 4 drives, i delete something on one of the drives, it doesn't hit the trash bin for whatever reason... why is that
[11:42] <theadmin> sdperez79: It depends on the site, there are many services online for that, too.
[11:43] <sdperez79> youtube,and myspace for  start
[11:43] <theadmin> sdperez79: savefrom.net for instance
[11:43] <theadmin> sdperez79: Myspace? Someone still uses that? wow.
[11:43] <Chotaz> theadmin: earlier today you suggested icecast for shared playlist and having a radio inside our company, how could we have multiple computers compiling 1 playlist?

[11:44] <theadmin> Chotaz: Hm, I dunno, a public FTP server of some sort or... idk
[11:44] <JLuc> thanks a lot for all your help :-)
[11:47] <dean> Or could someone tell me how to rip my dvd to make an iso file?
[11:47] <theadmin> dean: dd if=/dev/sr0 of=whatever.iso
[11:48] <dean> theadmin, It is a external dvd drive?
[11:50] <alexandh> hi there
[11:50] <alexandh> i have a massive problem with mdraid on ubuntu-server 10.04 LTS
[11:50] <alx_> hi all
[11:51] <alexandh> problem is that after software update, initramfs cannot find mdraid module and than cannot find root
[11:51] <alx_> is it possible to have i386 and x86 libraries and binaries installed ?
[11:51] <theadmin> alx_: Um, that's the same thing
[11:51] <alx_> need to compile qt4 32 bit under x86_64 ...
[11:51] <theadmin> alx_: Ah
[11:51] <alx_> forgot x86_64 :)
[11:51] <theadmin> alx_: Well, I think the package is ia32-libs or something
[11:51] <alexandh> is it possible to change grub.conf to force boot from sda1?
[11:52] <ikonia> alexandh: grub boots where ever your kernel is
[11:52] <ikonia> alexandh: if you point it at a kernel on /dev/sda1 it will boot /dev/sda1
[11:52] <alexandh> yes, but its very tricky as it drops imediatly to busybox
[11:52] <Naeblis> err..hi! Can anyone please help me fix my sound issue? This is the alsa-project report: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=927773d357d23428919915a5d36b902b4f1a54e6
[11:52] <ikonia> alexandh: then you've not pointed it correctly
[11:52] <alx_> theadmin, yes... but what about qt4-dev-tools (example) ... apt-get install qt4-dev-tools:i386 want to remove qt4-dev-tools (x86_64 version)
[11:53] <alx_> which is fine, as they install same files...
[11:53] <alx_> don't know :(
[11:53] <alexandh> maybe. can you tell me what i shoud put in grub.conf?
[11:53] <alexandh> i dont know how to tell in grub directly
[11:53] <ikonia> alexandh: I don't have a grub2 machine to hand to work it through with you
[11:54] <alexandh> ok i see. grub2 is really a tricky thing
[11:54] <ikonia> the ubuntu has it configured, it's a monster
[11:54] <alexandh> how can it come that mdraid module cannot be found?
[11:54] <ikonia> alexandh: what makes you think it can't be found,
[11:55] <alexandh> in the first place it showed: cannot load modules... gave up waiting for root device
[11:55] <tapout> if you delete stuff as root in nautilus, where does it go?  Trash doesn't show anything, throws an error
[11:56] <theadmin> tapout: It goes poof.
[11:56] <theadmin> tapout: Trash is a gvfs thing, so it will only work if nautilus runs as the same user as you're running GNOME as
[11:56] <Naeblis> the audio was gone after I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras.
[11:57] <MonkeyDust> alexandh: is dmraid correctly installed? type apt-cache policy dmraid
[11:58] <tapout> theadmin, oh neat, thanks
[12:01] <g00fy> Just one question: I'm currently downloading v11.04 and want to find the checksum for the ISO file. but where are they???

[12:02] <adam__> hey! Im using Ubuntu Server and trying to write a script to add a new user from a MySQL Database Server. i have the $USER and $PASS variables set up and taken from MySQL and useradd set up, how can i now set the server user's password as $PASS?
[12:02] <theadmin> Ajsh: So it is.
[12:03] <adam__> without admin input?
[12:03] <jrib> adam__: use useradd with -p and perl's crypt function.  Google "crypt perl useradd" if you want examples
[12:04] <adam__> so it would be useradd -p $PASS -d /home/$USER $USER ?
[12:04] <adam__> jrib: :D
[12:05] <adam__> since that had one way encryption i wasnt sure if i could use it
[12:05] <jrib> adam__: no, your example is not correct
[12:06] <jrib> adam__: by the way, you probably don't want users' login shells to be sh
[12:06] <binni> I'm configuring pidgin input settings for audio and I'm pretty sure I should either choose ALSA>USB Audio or PulseAudio>Webcam C310 Anal...   which one should I choose? (Ubuntu 11.10)
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> binni: ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:07] <adam__> jrib: i have the users chrooted with no ssh access, now im trying to add a user with a pre-existing password variable(from mysql), i want it to be user generated
[12:08] <jrib> adam__: what is your question?
[12:08] <adam__> *be a user generated password with no human input
[12:08] <adam__> users register on a site
[12:08] <adam__> site stores info on mysql
[12:08] <binni> MonkeyDust: I think the setting and logic of it looks the same in both 11.04 and 11.10, not sure though.
[12:08] <jrib> adam__: I know what you are trying to do.  But I told you how to do it above.  What aren't you sure about?
[12:09] <adam__> jrib: will the perl encrypt allow a variable to be set as the password, did a quick google and it shows it as a password generator?
[12:09] <jrib> adam__: sure.
[12:12] <jrib> adam__: crypt() just returns a hash of your password.  This is what usermod -p expects
[12:13] <krishnan>  I use ubuntu 10.04 & when Im connected to wi-fi and try connecting to my dongle the connection fails. however if I try the same when Im not connected to a wi-fi or in a new place with a different wi-fi then dongle easily connects. Why is this?
[12:16] <orated> Hello! Can this be command altered somehow to allow backup in parts of 7GB each - sudo tar cvpzf /backup/backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/backup --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys / ?
[12:17] <orated> using | split -b etc ?
[12:17] <tapout> orated, you're going to kill yourself once you find out about rsnapshot :)
[12:17] <tapout> i used to backup like that, rsnapshot is the way now :)
[12:18] <wxf> hi,
[12:18] <wxf> everyone
[12:18] <JollyJester> Hello
[12:19] <orated> tapout: Can it take backups in parts?
[12:19] <jasondev> my trackpad for my laptop isnt working how do i fix this. this is my first time using ubuntu and I am a noob
[12:19] <wxf> yes,it can.
[12:22] <tapout> orated, it uses rsync and does backups over time.  It efficientlly stores your backups so you don't have to worry at all.  It's like git+rsync all in one
[12:23] <tapout> you setup hourly/daily/weekly/monthly, and you can go back to a week ago from today, to see what the files were...
[12:23] <orated> tapout: Ok, but atm I want to take immediate backup and want it in parts basically.
[12:23] <tapout> trust me, you should check it out before you do that
[12:24] <tapout> rsnapshotdoes it so efficiently and easily, you can even do your db backups
[12:24] <orated> I'm out of space, do not have backup HDD.. crossovercables for rsync over it won't work since the other system is also out of space
[12:24] <orated> ok
[12:25] <tapout> without space, you'll be hard pressed anyways..   look into rsnapshot tho
[12:26] <orated> tapout: Any backup obviously requires equivalent space but rsnapshot cannot do compression nor parts, it ill not be of any usse to me. Nevertheless, I'll find about it.. Do you think split flag can be added in above command I typed?
[12:26] <orated> if rsnapshot*
[12:27] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:27] <theadmin> orated: As for the above command, remove -f and the filename, and pass it to |split, making it read from stdin and... Yeah, that's about it
[12:27] <JollyJester> Hi
[12:28] <orated> theadmin: stdin?
[12:29] <theadmin> orated: Well, yes
[12:29] <dddbmt> Hi guys. I've just formatted a USB drive on 16GB, I'm trying to copy a folder onto the drive. It fails with an error "Error splicing file: File too large". It's a Mac .dmg file.
[12:29] <theadmin> dddbmt: Is the file bigger than 3.8GB or so?
[12:30] <dddbmt> theadmin, it
[12:30] <dddbmt> it's 5.6gb
[12:30] <theadmin> dddbmt: There's your problem. Your flash drive is FAT32, right?
[12:30] <dddbmt> correct
[12:30] <theadmin> dddbmt: It has a 3.8GB filesize limit
[12:30] <theadmin> dddbmt: Reformat it to something else or split the file to several pieces
[12:31] <theadmin> dddbmt: Or maybe compressing it would help
[12:32] <jamil_1> Hi all, sound is giving me problems. If I do sudo alsa force-reload and manually select the alsa backend and the device in vlc then sound work for vlc only
[12:32] <orated> theadmin: Like this - sudo tar cvpz --exclude=/backup --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys / | | split -b 100m – /backup/backup.tar.bz2 ?
[12:32] <jamil_1> And I have to do this after every restart

[12:44] <Quantum_Ion> theadmin, I think it is control alt left mouse click
[12:44] <Quantum_Ion> theadmin, How do i install CCSM
[12:45] <rkhshm> i just bought a new HD as my old one was dieing.. i connected the new 500GB HD to the mobo and plugged in my USB with 11.04 on it and it says 'BOOT ERROR"
[12:45] <rkhshm> no matter what I try i'm unable to figure it out.
[12:45] <rkhshm> any ideas?
[12:45] <iceroot> rkhshm: the hdd or the usb-drive is reprting the error?
[12:46] <theadmin> Quantum_Ion: apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[12:46] <Quantum_Ion> theadmin, thanks
[12:46] <rkhshm> iceroot: i cant say that..because the moment after BIOS loads i get that error.. But I suspect that HD is the issue because i tried the same USB on my laptop with USB boot turned on.. And it booted fine.
[12:47] <iceroot> rkhshm: is it a grub error? or a bios-error?
[12:47] <mao> what is linux's hibernate
[12:47] <theadmin> mao: Um, "hibernate".
[12:48] <rkhshm> looks like its a bios-error

[12:48] <jasondev> hello my trackpad on my laptop is not working

[12:48] <jasondev> this is my first time using ubuntu
[12:48] <jasondev> please help
[12:48] <rkhshm> theadmin: the old HDD was removed completely
[12:48] <rkhshm> i think the BIOS needs to be told about the new HD?
[12:49] <rkhshm> something like that perhaps?
[12:49] <theadmin> rkhshm: Yes, and now you can't find a bootloader and it doesn't boot
[12:49] <theadmin> rkhshm: Where "you" is your BIOS/EFI
[12:49] <rkhshm> theadmin: as in?
[12:50] <theadmin> rkhshm: Well, you need not only the OS, but also a bootloader to boot it
[12:50] <jasondev> can anyone help me with this please?

[12:55] <JLuc> i have compiled and installed scribus svn to /usl/loca/scribussvn, and it runs fine, but i would like to move it to /home/jluc/bin : is it ok if i just move the files and repertory ?
[12:56] <mao> theadmin: when i suspend my ubuntu,then i can reboot it in 2s.how does it work.
[12:56] <theadmin> JLuc: First, please speak freaking ENGLISH, there are no such words as "repertory", it's hard for us to understand you when you use your own, made-up terms. Secondly, no, it's not gonna work that way, you have to reinstall appropriately.
[12:57] <MonkeyDust> mao: you network connection may be lost after waking up from suspension
[12:57] <JLuc> ok sorry for repertory, 'directory' is better ?
[12:57] <theadmin> JLuc: Yeah, that is at least a word
[12:57] <JLuc> arf :-D
[12:57] <JLuc> should i uninstall the programm first ?
[12:57] <mao> MonkeyDust: um,yes
[12:58] <theadmin> JLuc: I guess so, well...
[12:58] <theadmin> JLuc: I see no point installing only for one user
[12:58] <theadmin> JLuc: This is Linux, after all.
[12:58] <JLuc> i dont get your remark... i did make then make-install
[12:58] <JLuc> now maybe i got to do make uninstall ?

[13:08] <mao> um...sorry,i don't know
[13:08] <cvam> Stanley00: update-grub make  entry for all available kernels in local disk in menu.lst file
[13:08] <jamil_1> salvatore: have you looked at jdownloader
[13:08] <BluesKaj> !grub legacy
[13:09] <salvatore> no never
[13:09] <BluesKaj> !legacy-grub
[13:09] <BluesKaj> bah
[13:10] <cvam> I've upgraded to natty  the system has grub instead of grub 2. why?
[13:11] <Pici> cvam: Because an upgrade won't upgrade your bootloader.
[13:14] <lessshaste> is there a tool for making animations like http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13991135 ?
[13:15] <cvam> Pici: I am using natty. I download kernel 2.6.38 using update manager. how to make it default kernel to load ?
[13:15] <Pici> cvam: The postinstall process should automatically do that.
[13:16] <JLuc> ah : 'folder' is the right word !
[13:16] <cvam> Pici: but i had only 2.6.36. today only i 've intalled 2.6.38 using update-manager
[13:18] <MonkeyDust> JLuc: folder = dossier, path = répertoire
[13:18] <JLuc> thanks monkeydust
[13:18] <JLuc> path = chemin rather
[13:18] <wyang_> racho, are you there?
[13:19] <JLuc> my computer english will improve !
[13:20] <wyang_> i met the problem of "Could not locate executable g77" on ubuntu 11.04 when compiling the numpy
[13:21] <cvam> Even though kernel 2.6.38 is default to natty, I hadn't . I update it using update-manager(as it asked for updation). how to make kernel 2.6.38 as default kernel
[13:21] <blinkiz> Hello. It exist a easy to use SMTP tester tool that I installed some time ago. Can someone remember for me the package name?
[13:22] <lessshaste> is there a tool for making animations like http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13991135 ?
[13:22] <blinkiz> Found it. swaks
[13:27] <mekwall> hi! I just moved back to ubuntu (11.04) and noticing major lag when moving windows (nvidia gfx) - anyone know what causes this and how to solve it?

[13:29] <mehrenst> hi,
[13:29] <mehrenst> just downloaded 11.04 iso image from ubuntu.com but it does not fit onto a CD as the size is 714 MB. Am I doing something wrong?
[13:29] <lessshaste> mekwall, the normal answer is that you are not using hardware acceleration properly.. do you know what driver you are running?
[13:30] <pksadiq> !Md5 check this on downloaded iso
[13:30] <rkhshm> i'm trying to create a gparted USB stick..
[13:30] <lessshaste> mekwall, have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ?
[13:30] <rkhshm> is it just sufficient to copy the ISO directly to the USB device?
[13:30] <pksadiq> !Md5
[13:30] <mehrenst> thanks a lot. I will check
[13:30] <mekwall> lessshaste: hardware acceleraiton is running, I've already checked that. and other stuff is smooth. running the latest driver from the x-updates repo
[13:31] <lessshaste> mekwall, nouveau or the commercial one?
[13:31] <mekwall> lessshaste: nvidia-current (guess thats nouveau?)
[13:31] <wyang_> blinkz, msmtp?
[13:31] <lessshaste> mekwall, try the link I pasted in that case
[13:33] <lessshaste> mekwall, hmm.. nvidia-current should be the binary driver I thought
[13:33] <mekwall> lessshaste: yeah I guess it is... I purged all the nvidia packages directly after install and then added the x-updates repo, so its probably not nouveau
[13:34] <lessshaste> mekwall, ah... can you read your X logs to see if there are any warnings?
[13:34] <mekwall> lessshaste: could be warnings bogging up :) good call... willl check
[13:35] <mekwall> lessshaste: Xorg log looks ok
[13:37] <aamax> hi all.... i installed ubuntu last night, haven't messed with a *nix OS for many years.. trying to learn ruby and rails.. can anyone help me with understanding some things?
[13:37] <rkhshm> guys I'm trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on a completely fresh HD.. I created a gparted USB stick and tried using it .. i still get BOOT ERROR
[13:37] <rkhshm> any ideas pls
[13:37] <rkhshm> its now critical
[13:37] <lessshaste> mekwall, I don't know what the problem is.. sorry
[13:37] <lessshaste> good luck!
[13:37] <mekwall> lessshaste: np, thanks for your time :)
[13:37] <jamil_1> aamax: please ask
[13:38] <aamax> i installed rvm.... and i got ruby 1.9.2 installed but i can't seem to get the right rails version to install.. if i just do a apt-get install rails it installs the older version..
[13:38] <aamax> i need to install 3.1.0 or later
[13:38] <drapedup> Does wine support DX11 ?
[13:38] <aamax> i did get xchat installed though :) LOL
[13:40] <jamil_1> aamax: have you tried gem install rails.....
[13:41] <aboudreault> Hi, does anyone already created a AMI (Amazon Machine Image) of Ubuntu?
[13:41] <nmvictor> does ubuntu and generally Linux have support for the protogon filesystem expected to show in Windows 8?
[13:41] <aboudreault> can't get it to boot on ec2
[13:41] <somsip> aboudreault: there are a few public AMIs that are available. Just search for them
[13:41] <aboudreault> somsip, that's not my question
[13:42] <edbian> nmvictor: I don't think so because I've never heard of that
[13:42] <dean> Hi all I like k9copy but I want a ripper to rip the dvd to hard drive before I transcode is there a ripper better for that?
[13:42] <drapedup> NM i see that some guys developed a way to hook DX11 into wine
[13:42] <pksadiq> !Rip
[13:43] <web_> hello there !
[13:44] <web_> hi there !
[13:44] <johnm> nmvictor: it's safe to say, no. Not at all. It's currently a undisclosed filesystem subject to change, with no pubblic references made available.
[13:44] <dean> pksadiq, This is for dvd ripping not audio
[13:44] <nmvictor> edbian: Windows 8 might finally lock out linux with its secure booting, well am reading that the protogon FS might mean an 8sec boot for windows 8, so i wondered if Linux has support for this FS.
[13:45] <johnm> nmvictor: if you're talking about finding a solution to an "8 second boot" then there are already many available.
[13:45] <web_> is there any one to tell me how to change my boot team on ubuntu matice ?
[13:45] <nmvictor> johnm: am looking to write linux drivers if it shows up
[13:46] <web_> is there any one to tell me how to change my boot team on ubuntu matice ?
[13:46] <nmvictor> johnm: am not looking for such a soln, it just got me interested.
[13:46] <edbian> nmvictor: I don't think it's the filesystem that will allow an 8 second boot (although it probably helps).  Yeah I've been reading about UEFI and the issues there.  I think when it is actually a problem (hardware vendors are actually using it) we'll have come up with some solution. I am pretty sure the way it's implemented right now you can simply turn it off
[13:46] <johnm> nmvictor: the UEFI spec is somethign a little different, its hardware and software vendor collaboration with keychain protection, it isn't "windows" per se. It'll be interesting though for sure.
[13:46] <johnm> nmvictor: ever tried to reverse engineer a microsoft filesystem? :)
[13:46] <kcm1700> i need help to erase a file named '--'
[13:46] <kcm1700> how to remove that file in bash?
[13:47] <nmvictor> johnm: nope
[13:47] <Jordan_U> kcm1700: rm './--'
[13:47] <kcm1700> thanks a lot
[13:47] <nmvictor> johnm: why?
[13:47] <johnm> nmvictor: tbh, I don;'t think its anything revolutionary, it's essentially just a database driven FS, similar to which already exist. It's non-compliant in many respects as well.
[13:47] <nmvictor> johnm: :)
[13:47] <Jordan_U> kcm1700: You're welcome.
[13:48] <johnm> nmvictor: Just curious, I'd like to wish you good luck in doing so and hope you stick it out - would be worth looking into support from the SFLC as well - just as a precursor.
[13:48] <edbian> nmvictor: I've seen linux systems that boot in ~3 seconds
[13:50] <nmvictor> thanks johnm , edbian , about that, i though ubuntu was supposed to boot that fast, mine gets takes 5 sec after grub selection before the ubuntu boot progress dots start showing, any diagnose for that?
[13:51] <johnm> nmvictor: install bootchart and inspect whats taking the time
[13:51] <nmvictor> johnm: sure. i'd look into that
[13:51] <edbian> nmvictor: There is a tonne of stuff you can do.  http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/
[13:52] <sara> hi
[13:52] <johnm> nmvictor: histortically slow boot is caused by a linear init boot process, pending wait on device dependancies, and/or lack of preload. Most of it depends on what you actually have installed, frankly ;)
[13:52] <johnm> nmvictor: If you want a lightning boot process, use hibernate ;)
[13:53] <drapedup> johnm: isn't that essentially what win8 is doing?
[13:53] <johnm> drapedup: pretty much.
[13:53] <drapedup> a hybrid hibernation boot up
[13:54] <rkhshm> anyone here has a good idea with gparted
[13:54] <rkhshm> i'm having major trouble.
[13:56] <nmvictor> johnm: like you suggest i hibernate my laptop often, as opposed to poweroff?
[13:57] <sanderj_> Do anyone know if there is any diffrence in the datafiles between mysql 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.1
  and 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.5 on ubuntu 9.10.
[13:57] <sanderj_> ops
[13:57] <ikonia> sanderj_: data files ? they are yours
[13:57] <ikonia> sanderj_: you should be able to export/import between the versions without issue
[13:59] <sanderj_> ikonia, with exportg/import you mean only copy the data files from one dir to another install?
[13:59] <dean> Hi does anyone use Handbrake in here?
[14:00] <sanderj_> ikonia, should or is?
[14:00] <ikonia> sanderj_: well, you may have to do things like change the permissions on the database
[14:01] <ikonia> sanderj_: eg: the new database will need to grant permissions to the new schema,
[14:01] <ikonia> sanderj_: I'd suggest doing a mysql_dump on the database, then importing from that
[14:01] <ikonia> sanderj_: but in theory you could just copy the files and run a grant, but that's a very sloppy way
[14:01] <ikonia> dean: yes, why
[14:02] <sanderj_> ikonia, Why do I need to run a grant if I copy all the internal data also?
[14:02] <dean> ikonia, I was wondering if you knew what option you have to select to make sure the subtitles appear after converting?
[14:02] <web_> hello
[14:02] <ikonia> sanderj_: I wouldn't advise moving ALL the databases, just the personal schema
[14:02] <ikonia> sanderj_: replacing the mysql db from antoher box isn't a good idea
[14:03] <ikonia> dean: there is a subtitle check box
[14:03] <ikonia> dean: there is also the #handbrake channel
[14:03] <sanderj_> ikonia, if it's the same version, then it's ok I guess.
[14:03] <ikonia> sanderj_: no,
[14:03] <dean> ikonia, There is default, burned in and forced I didn't know which is best to use
[14:03] <ikonia> sanderj_: depends on how it's setup there could be references to hostnames/ip addresses that no longer are valid
[14:04] <ikonia> dean: #handbrake is your friend on that one, I never use subtitles so don't understand the difference
[14:04] <dean> ikonia, Ok thanks
[14:04] <sanderj_> ikonia, I'm setting up the same ip adress also, because i'm moving it from one virtual platform to another.
[14:04] <sanderj_> ikonia, the same ip I mean.
[14:04] <ikonia> sanderj_: again, I would strongly not recommend it
[14:05] <ikonia> sanderj_: the internal mysql database is quite fussy and very core to your functionality, better to export the schemas and import into a new running database
[14:05] <sanderj_> ikonia, what if I have the same version on both places?
[14:05] <ikonia> sanderj_: the version is not the issue as I've said
[14:05] <sanderj_> ikonia, it will take so long time with 1200 databases.
[14:05] <ikonia> sanderj_: why are you against exporting and importing
[14:05] <ikonia> sanderj_: script it, it will be just as quick
[14:06] <ikonia> sanderj_: mysql_dump and then mysql -d < $dumpfile
[14:06] <ikonia> sanderj_: obviously -d $database name etc
[14:06] <sanderj_> ikonia, how can I copy over 1200 grants also?
[14:07] <polkom21> Hey!
[14:07] <ikonia> sanderj_: it's included in the dump
[14:07] <ikonia> sanderj_: well, again, depends on what you take over
[14:07] <fireprint> I have an issue where all my close minimize and what not button line is gone.. on everything. Tried googling but doesnt seem to give any solution. Anyone know of a quickfix? (im thinking i might've done something in effects that m not aware of)
[14:08] <edbian> fireprint: alt + f2     then compiz --replace&
[14:08] <fireprint> oh look at that!.. thanks! Appreciated edbian
[14:09] <edbian> fireprint: sure
[14:09] <fireprint> what exactly did the --replace& do?
[14:09] <edbian> fireprint: ur window decorator crashed.  (look at window decorations in ccsm)  that command restarts compiz (and restarts the decorator)
[14:09] <MonkeyDust> fireprint: the & makes it un in the background
[14:09] <edbian> fireprint: & makes it run the background
[14:09] <edbian> darnit
[14:10] <fireprint> Nice. thank you for helping me out. Appreciated guys
[14:10] <fireprint> So it would've done the same thing if  i restarted the computer?
[14:12] <_cb> To get active directory like functionality I would need to deploy LDAP + SAMBA + Kerberos, right? (Any easy to use GUI's that would help with implementation and management?)
[14:12] <fireprint> edbian, am i correct in thinking that a hardrestart of my laptop would restart as well?
[14:12] <fireprint> i mean, as in fix it.
[14:13] <reinhold> Does anyone have an idea when libguile 2.0 (released in February) will be available as a ubuntu package? In LilyPond, we heavily depend on guile, and we'd like to finally make the switch to guile 2.0. But since we depend on ubuntu packages for our docs writers etc. we can't switch to guile 2.0 as long as ubuntu doesn't have any guile 2.0 packages...
[14:14] <fireprint> As my dock got messed up with the command. I will try the restart. Again, thanks guys
[14:16] <osb_> how would one enable dual core cpu support on Natty?  Ubuntu puts me in SMP mode with only one of my cpu cores appearing at half clock speed.
[14:16] <ikonia> or using one
[14:16] <ikonia> osb_: how do you know it's only showing one
[14:17] <osb_> Linux redbox 2.6.38-11-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 12 21:17:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[14:17] <ikonia> osb_: where does that show it's only using 1 core
[14:17] <osb_> and pastebin of dmesg: http://pastebin.com/nTkTaMm9
[14:17] <osb_> ikonia: proc/cpuinfo says so.
[14:17] <osb_> cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep '(model name|cpu MHz|core id)'
[14:17] <osb_> err

[14:17] <FloodBot1> osb_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:18] <ikonia> osb_: pastebin the full output of /proc/cpuinfo please.
[14:18] <osb_> there's the gusto.
[14:18] <ikonia> osb_: "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and put it in a pastebin
[14:18] <osb_> what are you looking for?
[14:18] <ikonia> osb_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /proc/cpuinfo | pastbinit
[14:18] <osb_> http://pastebin.com/dT14cRsH
[14:19] <osb_> it's a dual core processor showing one cpu core at half the clock speed.
[14:19] <ikonia> osb_: the clock spead is not a massive issue as powerscaling can effect it,
[14:20] <BarkingFish> !info opensync-module-python
[14:20] <osb_> sure
[14:20] <BarkingFish> :(
[14:20] <ikonia> osb_: [    0.050174] SMP motherboard not detected.
[14:20] <ikonia> #
[14:20] <ikonia> [    0.060000] SMP disabled
[14:20] <ikonia> osb_: I suspect that's the issue
[14:20] <osb_> hrm
[14:21] <osb_> my motherboard supposedly supports this processor
[14:21] <BarkingFish> anyone know why the opensync python module wasn't carried into maverick or natty please? It's vital that I get it, and can't currently install it despite having backports available
[14:22] <mekwall> ok, I'm having a really weird problem. I have stuttering and lag when moving and resizing windows, but when I run glxgears I get about 10k fps, but the gears that show gives me about .5-1 fps
[14:22] <iceroot> BarkingFish: i guess the package was renamed
[14:22] <mekwall> any idea on what the problem might be?
[14:22] <iceroot> BarkingFish: or integrated into other packages
[14:23] <Tronic> After updating to 11.10 my network started to disconnect about once a day. The interface still has an IP but communication won't work for some reason until after I restart dhclient.
[14:23] <iceroot> Tronic: #ubuntu+1
[14:23] <osb_> ikonia: any ideas?
[14:23] <BarkingFish> iceroot, that could be a problem then.  I'm trying to sync my HP iPAQ with synce - and the opensync portion of it is still looking for opensync-module-python, so that means opensync hasn't been updated properly.
[14:23] <ikonia> osb_: just reading through the dmesg output
[14:23] <ikonia> osb_:  0.000000] Booting paravirtualized kernel on bare hardware
[14:23] <orated> I read that partimage does not support ext4 file system but I found that partimage takes backup of such partitions, why? Is it reliable?
[14:24] <ikonia> osb_: that interests me, but I've not quite worked out the relevence yet
[14:24] <iceroot> BarkingFish: yes, sounds like a bug about dependencies
[14:24] <antihoax> hi
[14:24] <osb_> i was going to try to use something from mainline ppa and see if that helps
[14:24] <photofficine> hi all
[14:24] <ikonia> osb_: it's not a kernel issue, I don't believe
[14:24] <BarkingFish> i'm just wondering if I can nick the copy that was in lucid and install it as a safety net for now
[14:24] <osb_> my bios supports the cpu so either its reporting it to the kernel incorrectly or the kernle is borked
[14:24] <osb_> i dunno.
[14:26] <darkknightcz> hi, is someone here using squid with some auth program?
[14:26] <iceroot> darkknightcz: #squid
[14:26] <ikonia> darkknightcz: not at the moment, but I have done in the past, with local tdb database and ldap
[14:26] <darkknightcz> iceroot: writting there for 3 days with no response :)
[14:27] <photofficine> i have a problem with my pc, i have a acer aspire M5641 and i installed Ubuntu 11.04, but the wireless connection no work, it constantly asking me the password. what's the problem?
[14:27] <iceroot> darkknightcz: its a good idea not to use questions containg "is someone". ask real question with usefull details
[14:27] <ikonia> darkknightcz: you've been answered in #squid
[14:28] <darkknightcz> ikonia: thanks :)
[14:28] <orated> moreover, why partimage calls ext4 filesystem as ext3fs and takes its image? Is it reliable when the documentation says that it doesn't support ext4?
[14:29] <osb_> would be nice to be able to use the other core =)

[14:32] <MonkeyDust> !es| ana_
[14:33] <fireprint> photofficine, you say it continues to ask for a password. Are you not getting connected, or asking for password everytime you log on to it?
[14:33] <ana_> me valeee!!!

[14:33] <bearly230> Quick question. Since ubuntu 11.04 does not send log entries to the /var/log/messages file anymore, where do those messages go to now?
[14:34] <osb_> oh well
[14:34] <ikonia> orated: the mbr is on /dev/sda
[14:34] <ana_> ahhh
[14:34] <ikonia> osb_: still reading trying to understand what's failing
[14:35] <orated> ikonia: But if I want to take partition image, how will I take sda image?
[14:35] <osb_> oh ok
[14:35] <osb_> thanks
[14:35] <orated> partimage doesn't allow to do that
[14:35] <xbuntu> I need help.. in Ubuntu when i try to reload alsa it says a bunch of "Output Info may be incomplete"
[14:35] <ikonia> orated: you take an image of /dev/sda - that's the disk, not the partition
[14:35] <osb_> [    0.000000] Malformed early option 'acpi'

[14:35] <orated> ikonia: Yes, ofc. But not with partimage then
[14:35] <osb_> i killed acpi support in my bios
[14:36] <ikonia> osb_: then do'nt use part image
[14:36] <ikonia> orated: it's called "partimage" partition image, not disk image
[14:36] <orated> yes!
[14:36] <djino> hi - I have been using the ubuntu software center to install an application. I have removed it, and tried to reinstall, but it seems that it never does it fully. For example, the configuration files that were previously present never get installed. Can I force it somehow?
[14:36] <MonkeyDust> photofficine: password or a WEP/WPA key? or a password for the keyring?
[14:36] <xbuntu> Can anyone help me?.. Im trying to reload alsa.. and it says lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/xbuntu/.gvfs
[14:36] <xbuntu>       Output information may be incomplete.
[14:36] <fireprint> photofficine,  if i understand correctly. Have you checked that you are trying to connect to the right ssid, and passwd is correct (say from another computer etc)? plus the thing MonkeyDust said.
[14:37] <fireprint> the reason it asks, would seem to be (from what you're saying) that its not accepting the password..
[14:38] <bearly230> Quick question. Since ubuntu 11.04 does not send log entries to the /var/log/messages file anymore, where do those messages go to now?
[14:38] <orated> Other than dd, is there any tool which allows to take disk image? The problem is that dd will take lot of space to write image to whereas partimage allows to take partition image which are necessary. ikonia
[14:39] <photofficine> fireprint, the password is correct, but the manager network asks the password continually, only this
[14:40] <ikonia> orated: whats the gparted imaging tool call

[14:40] <xpololz> Hello! I just bought myself a new(3rd) monitor and plugged it in with a DisplayPort to DVI Cable. I've got a ATI Radoen HD 5700 se. But when I try to active the new display I get "Invalid Settings". I'm on Ubuntu 11.4, does anyone out there know how to fix this?
[14:41] <orated> ikonia: huh? Gparted is a partitioning software
[14:41] <xpololz> just removed fglrx, can't even do fglrxinfo now, but when I try to "sudo sh ati-driver-installer-11-8-x86.x86_64.run" it comes up with a message that a previous install of fglrx driver has been detected.
[14:41] <ikonia> orated: there is an image based live cd based on gparted
[14:41] <ikonia> orated: I can't think of the name of it
[14:42] <orated> ikonia: Ok, I'll find out..moreover, why partimage calls ext4 filesystem as ext3fs and takes its image? Is it reliable when the documentation says that it doesn't support ext4?
[14:42] <fireprint> photofficine,  have you tried wicd and see if it still accures there?
[14:42] <fireprint> occures..
[14:42] <ikonia> orated: no idea
[14:43] <ikonia> orated: clonezilla
[14:43] <ThonEney> anyone here that knows how can i remove ati drivers from a recovery console or simmilar?
[14:43] <ikonia> orated: thats the name of it
[14:43] <orated> Thanks!
[14:43] <photofficine> fireprint, I have not tried it yet
[14:43] <segol> Any fixes for the i845 GPU driver crashes?
[14:43] <dean> ikonia, Hey I spoke to you before and you were a great help do you find your conversions on handbrake come out at m4v not mp4?
[14:44] <fireprint> photofficine,  if you dont feel comfortable with using that, try removing the settings for the ssid you have now.. and retype in info. Like forget the one you're using and redo it. Might also be that simple
[14:44] <ionite> can anyone please teach me how do i edit my 40-lib-sane rules in GUI under administrator privileges?
[14:44] <ikonia> dean: they use the mp4 container but normally have an different extension
[14:45] <bearly230> Quick question. Since ubuntu 11.04 does not send log entries to the /var/log/messages file anymore, where do those messages go to now?
[14:45] <ThonEney> no one?
[14:45] <dean> ikonia, What it is I have a samsung lcd tv with a usb media player and I know it plays avi and mp4 but not sure it would play m4v but I wondered if I could get it to convert to mp4 instead?
[14:45] <photofficine> fireprint, i have tried removing the setting for the ssid but don't work
[14:46] <ionite> how do i edit 40 lib sane files?
[14:46] <fireprint> hmm and you were not using keyrings?
[14:46] <ionite> ikonia: are u there?
[14:46] <fireprint> photofficine,  you were not using keyrings?
[14:46] <ikonia> ionite: yes, why ?
[14:46] <ionite> ikonia: do u know how do i edit lib sane files?
[14:46] <ikonia> ionite: why ?
[14:46] <ikonia> dean: mp4 container in an m4v extension
[14:46] <ionite> ikonia: i'm at this stage: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1c.html
[14:47] <ikonia> ionite: are you doing this on ubuntu
[14:47] <osb_> im going to try a 3.0.0 kernel
[14:47] <ionite> ikonia: yes. i'm currently using easy peasy manager.
[14:47] <Fuco> is there a way to use apt-get to install the package to my home? (I'm on a machine where I don't have full access)
[14:47] <ikonia> osb_: I'd recommend against it, but ok
[14:47] <ikonia> ionite: I don't know what easy peasy manager is
[14:48] <osb_> i dont have many options
[14:48] <fireprint> photofficine, im starting to get out of ideas for my "level" here. hehe Sorry but if none of that works im gonna have to let someone else come up with what it could be.
[14:48] <ionite> ikonia: anyways, what do i type in terminal to edit the lib sane file?
[14:48] <ikonia> ionite: easy peasy is it's own distro, not ubuntu
[14:49] <ionite> ikonia: it's based on ubuntu isnt it?
[14:49] <ikonia> ionite: it's not ubuntu
[14:49] <fireprint> photofficine, try using wicd just as a trial, and if that does not help im not sure what it could be to be honest.
[14:49] <ikonia> ionite: it's support channel is #easypeasy
[14:49] <ikonia> ionite: http://www.geteasypeasy.com/help/
[14:49] <dean> ikonia, I have read it isn't the same as mp4 though just uses the same codec
[14:49] <ionite> ikonia: assuming i am doing it through ubuntu. what do i type in terminal>
[14:49] <ikonia> dean: again, #handbrake is your friend
[14:50] <ikonia> ionite:  -no, you are not, use the correct support channel
[14:50] <ikonia> ionite: I've just pointed you to the right place and given you the support web page for more help, please use it
[14:50] <photofficine> fireprint, no without keyrings
[14:50] <Dan23> Any idea why my netcat version doesn't have the "-c" option available?
[14:50] <photofficine> i tried wicd but don't work
[14:51] <ionite> ikonia: u mean ure not telling me even though i am asking a ubuntu related question?
[14:51] <fireprint> photofficine, that just sounds weird to me. Im sorry i couldnt be of much help.
[14:51] <ikonia> ionite: it's not ubuntu.

[14:51] <ZontaX> yo ! can somebody see my IP adress now ?
[14:52] <segol> I've got an IBM G78 CRT screen that isn't being properly recognized, under monitors it thinks the refresh rate should be 65Hz at 1600x1200, but the screen can only handle 60Hz at 1600x1200. How do I fix it?
[14:52] <oldwzd> nmnd me, misstyped
[14:52] <ionite> ikonia: thanks.
[14:52] <katkee> hello, ruby-activerecord-2.3 package on ubuntu 11.10 does not install anymore. can someone help?
[14:52] <Dan23> Is the netcat version in ubuntu not the latest version?
[14:52] <fireprint> ZontaX, you're using a proxy. hence no.
[14:52] <ikonia> ionite: no problem
[14:52] <segol> http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/visuals/g78e1.pdf
[14:52] <ionite> ikonia: it's actually only this gksu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules
[14:52] <ZontaX> fireprint thanks for the confirmation :D
[14:53] <ikonia> ionite: I know what it is
[14:53] <xbuntu> can someone help me when i try to force-reload alsa it gives me lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/xbuntu/.gvfs
[14:53] <xbuntu>       Output information may be incomplete.
[14:53] <ZontaX> fireprint that finally works for me ...i was in hell to make this happen XD
[14:53] <photofficine> fireprint,  it's possible that the problem is the drivers?
[14:53] <ionite> ikonia: good.
[14:53] <fireprint> ZontaX, i see. Well, paranoia is a good thing ;)
[14:54] <katkee> ruby-activerecord-2.3 : Depends: ruby-activesupport-2.3 (< <IP_ADDRESS>) but 2.3.14-2 is to be installed, E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[14:54] <massi> cerco aiuto
[14:54] <fireprint> photofficine, I honestly can not see how that would make it ask for a password. However, what i can do, is do some googling and see if i can figure it out.
[14:54] <Pici> !it | massi
[14:54] <massi> qualcuno mi puo aiutare
[14:54] <bearly230> Quick question. Since ubuntu 11.04 does not send log entries to the /var/log/messages file anymore, where do those messages go to now?
[14:54] <orated> ikonia: But, I didn't quite get how clonezilla will help me. I see it can be used as a Live drive to clone a single partition on the media, to a separate medium device. The cloned data can be saved as an image-file or as a duplicated copy of the data. Bios usually goes to the first sector, so will sda1 contain the bootloader?
[14:55] <usr13> xbuntu: what was the command you used?
[14:55] <xbuntu> i used
[14:55] <xbuntu> alsa force-reload
[14:55] <ikonia> orated: you can clone data to antoher disk, or to a file on a network(or other disk)
[14:55] <xbuntu> but u see thats not all i get
[14:55] <xbuntu> theres more but i dont want ot post the whole thing on here
[14:55] <orated> ikonia: yeah ...
[14:55] <xbuntu> it says "Fatal error"
[14:55] <xbuntu> FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic-pae/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
[14:55] <xbuntu>  (failed)
[14:55] <FloodBot1> xbuntu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:55] <fireprint> photofficine, before doing that though. You're using network manager.. with no keyrings, tried wicd and redoing the ssid info..? did i get that right?
[14:55] <ikonia> orated: what do you actually want it to do
[14:56] <usr13> xbuntu: alsa fouce-reload | pastebinit
[14:56] <orated> ikonia: I want to take backup of bootloader, grub
[14:56] <fireprint> photofficine, are you on kde or fome?
[14:56] <usr13> xbuntu: It says "see dmesg"
[14:56] <fireprint> photofficine, hehe gnome even
[14:56] <photofficine> fireprint, thank you. the problem is that i can't use the wireless connection but only the lan. the password that it ask is a WPA. thank you again
[14:56] <xbuntu> wheres dmesg im new to ubuntu
[14:56] <segol> I've got an IBM G78 CRT screen that isn't being properly recognized, under monitors it thinks the refresh rate should be 65Hz at 1600x1200, but the screen can only handle 60Hz at 1600x1200. How do I fix it? http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/visuals/g78e1.pdf
[14:56] <photofficine> fireprint, gnome
[14:57] <usr13> xbuntu: ls /lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic-pae/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
[14:57] <fireprint> photofficine, oh, one thing.. you are NOT getting access to the wireless?
[14:57] <photofficine> fireprint,  yes
[14:57] <osb_> [F[F[F
[14:57] <fireprint> photofficine,  i thought you ment you had to retype the password each time you rebooted etc.. but you're not getting access?
[14:58] <xbuntu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/697310/
[14:58] <osb_> i might file a bug report
[14:58] <osb_> hrm
[14:59] <photofficine> fireprint, not i don't have access to wireless because it ask me continually the wpa password, now i am connet with LAN
[14:59] <orated> ikonia: Or I need not take backup of bootloader? CAn it be easily fixed/installed when restoring other partitions?
[14:59] <usr13> xbuntu: What did  ls /lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic-pae/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko  say?
[14:59] <xbuntu> nothing
[14:59] <xbuntu> all it does is just paste the same text i just wrote
[14:59] <ikonia> orated: if you backup the disk, it will be backed up, if you backup a partition, you'll need to apply the boot loader manually to the mbr
[14:59] <usr13> xbuntu: So you are sure the file does in fact exist?  (Yes.  No.)
[14:59] <fireprint> photofficine, oh i see. hmm has it ever worked? is is a fresh install? then there's a good chance you're not having everything installed correctly
[15:00] <xbuntu> i think so
[15:00] <xbuntu> how would i find out?
[15:00] <usr13> xbuntu: dmesg | pastebinit
[15:01] <xbuntu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/697311/
[15:01] <antihoax> hi guys
[15:01] <antihoax> someone seen NixiePixie ?
[15:01] <genii-around> Dan23: The package netcat-traditional should contain it, instead of the default netcat version
[15:01] <photofficine> fireprint, the wireless connection worked one time, the installation is not fresh, but i used little this pc because the wireless not work
[15:01] <Dan23> genii-around, thanks, that fixed it
[15:01] <usr13> xbuntu:  ls /lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic-pae/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko | pastebinit
[15:01] <orated> ikonia: I cannot backup disk using dd as I'm out of space. So I'm left to consider partimage to take partition image or use clonezilla. If bootloader can be applied to it manually, you mean installing grub manually later? Could you link me a documentation for the same please?
[15:02] <photofficine> now i have update all, but not i yet the reboot
[15:02] <genii-around> Dan23: You're welcome
[15:02] <ikonia> !grub2 > orated
[15:02] <xbuntu> then all it says /lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic-pae/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
[15:02] <xbuntu> thats what it says when i open the link
[15:03] <usr13> xbuntu: Maybe you should start by telling us why you are needing to do:   alsa force-reload
[15:03] <photofficine> fireprint, 2 seconds, i reboot and let you know how it went. just i arrive
[15:04] <xbuntu> well because i added something to asla-base.conf because im not getting no sound out of my main speakers and i wanted to see if it would work
[15:04] <xbuntu> im only getting sound out of my subwoofer
[15:04] <usr13> xbuntu: Ok it says SOMETHING then.  (It reports to you the file and it's path, therefore confirming to you that the file does, indeed, exist.)
[15:04] <xbuntu> and im not sure if its an error or if maybe its loading the wrong jack idk
[15:04] <orated> ikonia: Ok, the documentation suggest about restoring/installing grub manually. So, by what I'm doing, will I be able to do that?
[15:04] <ikonia> orated: yes
[15:04] <dean> ikonia, Sorry only just seen your message I am going to do one chapter and try it on my tv
[15:05] <ikonia> dean: no problem
[15:05] <orated> ikonia: Thank you!
[15:05] <usr13> xbuntu: Did you first run alsamixer to see if channels are turned down or muted?
[15:05] <xbuntu> Yes
[15:05] <xbuntu> I reinstalled the os and everything
[15:05] <usr13> xbuntu: No M or MM  at bottom of collums?
[15:05] <xbuntu> the the update / upgrade command to see if any packages are missing / restarted after
[15:05] <xbuntu> Nope
[15:06] <usr13> xbuntu: You reinstalled the OS?
[15:06] <xbuntu> My sound card is Realtek alc888
[15:06] <xbuntu> and yes
[15:06] <xbuntu> i did
[15:06] <xbuntu> 3 times
[15:06] <FloodBot1> xbuntu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:06] <dean> ikonia, Thanks again tho
[15:06] <xbuntu> When i do go into the alsa-base.conf it doesnt say anything about my model of my computer or anything
[15:06] <usr13> xbuntu: Did you see your sound card's ID properly identified in the alsamixer window?
[15:06] <ikonia> dean: welcome
[15:06] <xbuntu> Well it says hda intel.. and i think realtek is a intel chip if im not mistaken
[15:07] <fireprint> Can someone do me a favor here? I am trying to help photofficine out, however. i need to leave. Just give him the message please. Thanks
[15:07] <ooxi> hi i want a ubuntu/debian live cd where i can install packages but on a console, not a x desktop
[15:07] <ooxi> where can i finde something like that?
[15:07] <usr13> xbuntu:  Do this:   cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[15:08] <ooxi> or can i tell the ubuntu install cd to not start x?
[15:08] <ooxi> grml?
[15:08] <xbuntu> Usr13: its just sitting there not doing anything
[15:08] <usr13> xbuntu: It should say  Card: Intel  on the first line and then  Chip: Realtek  on the second line. (In alsamixer window)
[15:09] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Hello!
[15:09] <segol> I've got an IBM G78 CRT screen that isn't being properly recognized, under monitors it thinks the refresh rate should be 65Hz at 1600x1200, but the screen can only handle 60Hz at 1600x1200. How do I fix it?
[15:09] <photofficine> fireprint, i reboot but nothing the network manager ask me the password
[15:09] <usr13> xbuntu: Open a terminal and run alsamixer
[15:09] <lucidgy> Recomendations...  In need of a firewall.  Cheap small solution!  I'm thinking of maybe picking up a cheak negear router/switch and loading openWRT.. or maybe picking up a microPC and loading linux/iptables.
[15:09] <antihoax> segol<< you can set it in xorg.conf
[15:09] <usr13> xbuntu: Do you see the sound card properly identified in upper left corner?
[15:09] <codemagician> for a production server should I stick with ubuntu server 10.04 LTS or the 11 version and why?
[15:10] <xbuntu> just says
[15:10] <usr13> xbuntu: If not, hit F6
[15:10] <antihoax> segol<< you can set it in xorg.conf
[15:10] <xbuntu> realtek alc888
[15:10] <usr13> Yea... what does it say....
[15:10] <usr13> Ok.... Look at bottom the collums, look for  M  or  MM
[15:11] <xbuntu> Nothings muted
[15:11] <awaad> What is the same like "rpm -ql" in ubuntu ?
[15:11] <usr13> Expecially Main or PCM
[15:11] <xbuntu> Nothings muted
[15:11] <usr13> Are they turned up?
[15:11] <xbuntu> 100%
[15:11] <usr13> How about the speakers themselves?  Power plugged in and turned up?
[15:11] <bastidrazor> awaad: what does -ql flags do?
[15:12] <xbuntu> laptop so internal sound
[15:12] <llutz> awaad: dpkg -L packagename
[15:12] <usr13> WHat port are they plugged into?   Try a different...... OH, it is a laptop....  Try the FN keys.
[15:12] <xbuntu> The problem is that its only coming from the subwoofer
[15:13] <xbuntu> Nothings coming from the main speakers so im thinking that its just something with alsa-base.conf
[15:13] <usr13> xbuntu: What do you mean it is only coming from the subwoofer?
[15:13] <xbuntu> its only coming from the sub
[15:13] <xbuntu> like when i go to youtube the sound is being directed to the sub
[15:13] <codemagician> where do I find the unmodified Amazon EC2 Ubuntu AMI?
