[22:20] <Aazoris> VPS - Ubunut 10.04 LTS
[22:20] <recon69_lap> Aazoris: if it's a server aptitude probably not installed
[22:20] <Loshki> Juxorevo: it may take a while before someone who knows about encrpytion comes to this group. You can repeat your question every 15 minutes or so until someone responds (or you get tired of asking)...
[22:20] <dlp211> apt-get would def be installed
[22:20] <Aazoris> How would I install it
[22:20] <Juxorevo> Loshki:  ok sorry
[22:21] <Aazoris> Its saying that it cant find the command
[22:21] <Hawaiian_Eskimo> is there a vpn solution i can use that would allow me to connect to it from a windows box (using pptp) with just a username and password? all the tutorials i've seen involve these fancy setups that won't work in a limited user environment :|
[22:21] <Aazoris> is it corrupted
[22:21] <dlp211> what is the traceback when you use the command?
[22:22] <Cynthia> veryhappy... left. oh well
[22:22] <Aazoris> I just sent a reboot command
[22:22] <recon69_lap> Aazoris: look up the help for apt-get , you can do somthing like apt-get -upgrade
[22:22] <Aazoris> is it -upgrade or upgrade
[22:22] <dlp211> try both
[22:22] <Cynthia> Aazoris: upgrade
[22:22] <Aazoris> Ok my system is still rebooting
[22:22] <dlp211> why are you operating as root?
[22:23] <Aazoris> IdK they sold me the service like that
[22:23] <Hawaiian_Eskimo> which company?
[22:23] <recon69_lap> Aazoris: you updating a remote server and you dont know how to use help/man pages O.o
[22:23] <Aazoris> I have direct access and control of my vps
[22:24] <Aazoris> IdeaStack
[22:24] <GeekSquid> Aazoris: yeah, um, they did something that was not considered best practices, I would cancel and get a real vps
[22:25] <dlp211> its an india based company
[22:25] <dancek> Aazoris, you could also apt-get install aptitude, after which you have aptitude (which is preferable to apt-get)
[22:25] <BluShift> I recently removed a PCI network adapter (wireless N) from my desktop, and installed a G adapter using ndiswrapper. Now, when I reconnect my N adapter, and run, "ifconfig" I have no wireless devices present, only loopback and my ethernet port.
[22:25] <GeekSquid> at $9/mo, cheap
[22:25] <BluShift> How can I fix this?
[22:26] <Aazoris> No mine is custom
[22:26] <Aazoris> i didnt do the cheap 1
[22:26] <dlp211> did you pay for support?
[22:26] <BluShift> As well, running lspci doesn't seem to list my device, either.
[22:26] <drobiazgowy> :)
[22:26] <ikonia> guys, this is an ubuntu support channel, maybe #ubuntu-offtopic is better for chatting about your VPS limitations
[22:26] <BluShift> However, the N adapter was automatically detected and worked flawlessly upon initial install.
[22:27] <dancek> GeekSquid, imho it's a matter of opinion whether sudoing or real root account is better
[22:27] <Aazoris> support is free
[22:27] <BluShift> Anybody?
[22:27] <btr> Hello, could someone who use nvidia GT9XXX, inform me the frame late in glxgears?
[22:27] <Aazoris> and I was having Ubuntu problems not vps problems
[22:27] <recon69_lap> BluShift: you got both network cards installed? probably a IRQ or port address conflict, my first guess anyway
[22:27] <ikonia> btr: other peoples framerate doesn't matter, what's your problem ?
[22:27] <BluShift> btr: You should be getting 1000+
[22:28] <LjL> Aazoris: yes, sure, he was just asking to keep it about the ubuntu problems rather than the vps-specific discussion.
[22:28] <ikonia> Aazoris: ok - then talk about the ubuntu issues
[22:28] <Aazoris> ohhhh ok
[22:28] <Aazoris> I  was it was about apt
[22:28] <BluShift> recon69_lap: No, i removed the driver for the G adapter, and uninstalled ndiswrapper after I found i couldn't find the right driver. Damn 64-bit systems :(
[22:28] <GeekSquid> dancek: with no root account, you can't "hack" root, you can hack the user, but then you'd need to know the username, making it more difficult to hack said server
[22:28] <Aazoris> and why i was getting apt-get command not found
[22:28] <olivr> how can i stop ubuntu cahing my usb device?
[22:29] <btr> no problem really ... just curious if the driver is installed properly .. :)
[22:29] <LjL> GeekSquid: if you have a strong password, that problem is moot in the first place
[22:29] <ikonia> Aazoris: check your $PATH
[22:29] <recon69_lap> BluShift, Did you remove the card as well?
[22:29] <dlp211> they must have removed aptitude/apt?
[22:29] <BluShift> recon69_lap: Yes, it's no longer connected.
[22:29] <dancek> Aazoris, try ls /usr/bin/apt*
[22:29] <Aazoris> ok
[22:29] <dancek> Aazoris, to see if they exist
[22:29] <Aazoris> give me a sec
[22:29] <Tendency> Is it worth replacing Ubuntu normal with Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my Asus eee?
[22:30] <recon69_lap> BluShift: well, then it's not IRQ, try reseat the old modem, maybe its not in right
[22:30] <btr> thanks ikonia, BluShift ~
[22:30] <BluShift> Tendency: I would recommend eeebuntu. It has lots of kernel modifications to work with the Eee's hardware.
[22:30] <LjL> Tendency: uhm, i think the current netbook remix is in the process of being replaced by something a little different in the next version, so perhaps if you're comfortable with the vanilla version you might want to wait
[22:30] <dancek> GeekSquid, i didn't understand, need to know username?
[22:30] <Tendency> Cheers for the help guys :)
[22:31] <BluShift> recon69_lap: Modem? What?
[22:31] <Aazoris> i dont have it, what was the command to install it
[22:31] <GeekSquid> LjL: sorry if I disagree, people expose passwords all the time, either by typing them in in a public place, using public unsecured networks, or by just not following best practices
[22:31] <Aazoris> says the apt dir was not found
[22:31] <ikonia> Aazoris: it's not a directory
[22:31] <Anubis> hi is this the support channel?
[22:31] <LjL> Aazoris: there's no command to install APT, since APT is the thing to install things.
[22:31] <BluShift> recon69_lap: I've removed and reinstalled the card a few times already. It's not showing up.
[22:31] <recon69_lap> BluShift: sorry, NIC not modem , showing my age :)
[22:31] <LjL> Anubis: yes
[22:31] <BluShift> recon69_lap: Heh heh
[22:31] <ikonia> Aazoris: ls -la /usr/bin/apt-get
[22:31] <dancek> Aazoris, if you have neither apt-get nor aptitude then your system is really messed up
[22:32] <BluShift> dancek: Or he's not using Ubuntu ;)
[22:32] <Aazoris> hold on im connecting via cuteftp
[22:32] <dlp211> dancek: or gimpped on purpose
[22:33] <BluShift> recon69_lap: I think I'm going to try booting from a live cd, to see if it configures it properly that way.
[22:33] <LjL> GeekSquid: and if you're doing that on your server you have a problem that's not going to be solved by merely disabling root. anyway, i just don't really see the point of telling someone they're using a "fake" VPS merely because they set up one thing differently. i know and appreciate that keeping root disabled is recommended in this channel, but that doesn't amount to dissing anything that does otherwise
[22:33] <b0n1> hey does someone here know mutt ?
[22:33] <GeekSquid> dancek: if there is no root, and the sudo user's username is not root then you cannot guess the sudo username, unless it is dick, jack, jane. mark or something like that, most of my usernames are not in a dictionary anywhere, although I am a little paranoid when it comes to user/password security
[22:33] <LjL> GeekSquid: we don't diss Debian, for one thing.
[22:33] <b0n1> the console based email client
[22:33] <recon69_lap> BluShift: well, I'm thinking its hardware esp since it worked before. it should show up in /dev somewhere at least. but not that much a geek to give exact answers
[22:33] <ikonia> Aazoris: cuteftp will not allow you to see the whole file system, connect over ssh
[22:33] <Pr0jectRec0n> people, I have a question here : I've installed ubuntu from "Windows 7 Professional" using WUBI. Now, (after a long long time since I've installed Ubuntu) I'm facing issues in Windows 7 and want to reinstall win 7 - Would this screw up my Ubuntu installation or not?
[22:33] <BluShift> recon69_lap: I'm just not sure what it would be called, unfortunately. I'm not seeing it in lspci
[22:33] <Roasted> Is there any way I can let my laptop on and check it 6 hours from now and tell if it has lost connection at any point, or perhaps how long the current connection ahs been active?
[22:34] <ikonia> Pr0jectRec0n: yes, it will
[22:34] <dancek> GeekSquid, you get the same kind of security by preventing root logins via ssh etc, which is quite a common practice
[22:34] <Pr0jectRec0n> ikonia, drat :(
[22:34] <b0n1> i use procmail for filtering, but the problem is, that i dont get the mails that belong to any filter, i know that procmail leads them to the directory default, but somehow it doesnt
[22:34] <BluShift> Pr0jectRec0n: Yes, absolutely.
[22:34] <Pr0jectRec0n> ikonia, BluShift - What's the solution then ?
[22:34] <syme> is there any reason why rhythmbox would suddenly stop mounting my ipod touch?
[22:34] <BluShift> Pr0jectRec0n: Back everything up, first. Then install it properly ;)
[22:34] <ikonia> Pr0jectRec0n: don't use wubi - yes a proper installation that doesn't depend on your windows file system
[22:34] <b0n1> i typed in the .procmailrc   the line DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox but nothing happens
[22:35] <b0n1> is that a known error or what am i doing wrong here?
[22:35] <GeekSquid> LjL: I am not dissing anything, except a VPS company not keeping to best practices, is Aazoris useing a Debian server? or ubuntu?
[22:35] <BluShift> recon69_lap: It works fine on my brothers machine, so i imagine it's some silly driver issue.
[22:35] <Hawaiian_Eskimo> optical: i figured out the vpn :D
[22:35] <b0n1> im sitting here since 4 hours with no succes and just want to receive my mails that dont belong to any filter, getting crazy soon ^^
[22:35] <recon69_lap> Roasted: you could just do a ping command and leave it for 6 hours, who ever you ping might not be to happy about it
[22:35] <BluShift> recon69_lap: Is there a way to fully reconfigure networking devices, like it's done at first install?
[22:35] <Aazoris> ls: /usr/bin/apt-get: No such file or directory
[22:35] <Aazoris> Ok
[22:35] <ikonia> Aazoris: is that in an ftp shell
[22:35] <Aazoris> How do I do the multi line
[22:35] <Loshki> b0n1: I don't use it myself, but doesn't procmail keep a log somewhere? You should be able to see what it did with any particular email via the log...?
[22:35] <Aazoris> no ssh
[22:36] <Roasted> recon69_lap, yeah I thought about that lol. That's why I was hoping to find some sort of timer that allows me to see if I ever lost connection.
[22:36] <ikonia> Aazoris: please show me the output of "uname -a"
[22:36] <Aazoris> I want to show you what i got when i did ls
[22:36] <Pr0jectRec0n> ikonia, BluShift - well long story short, I did not want to mess up my hdd by partitioning it myslef - and so I opted for the WUBI route, and now I'm in this dilemma
[22:36] <ikonia> Aazoris: please show me the output of "uname -a"
[22:36] <ikonia> Pr0jectRec0n: game oer
[22:36] <ikonia> over
[22:36] <GeekSquid> !pastebin | Aazoris
[22:36] <BluShift> Pr0jectRec0n: Then back everything up, and reinstall.  Thanks for the responses anyway
[22:37] <b0n1> my mail directory is ~/Mail
[22:37] <ikonia> Pr0jectRec0n: please contro your language
[22:37] <b0n1> i wrote that in the procmailirc
[22:37] <b0n1> .procmailrc
[22:37] <recon69_lap> BluShift: did the nic work in the current machine before, very likely it not compatible, cause as far as i know lspci is before any driver issues
[22:37] <dagon> Would anyone happen to know the command for the terminal to view my devices? I'm curious if Ubuntu installed the right Nvidia drivers for my 240 graphics card. I'm curious if it installed a universal driver
[22:37] <Aazoris> Linux ******************************* #1 SMP Mon Mar 15 19:26:36 MSK 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linu
[22:37] <ikonia> dagon: lspci
[22:37] <BluShift> How would I go about reconfiguring all my network devices, similiar to the way it's done n first install
[22:37] <ikonia> Aazoris: please show me the full line
[22:37] <LjL> dagon: sudo lshw -C display
[22:37] <BluShift> recon69_lap: It did, right out of the box.
[22:37] <Pr0jectRec0n> ikonia, Sorry for that - I thought the word I uttered wasn't considered an 'expletive'
[22:38] <dagon> ikonia and LjL thank you
[22:38] <BluShift> Pr0jectRec0n: Then what is?
[22:38] <Aazoris> It contians an address that leads to my server
[22:38] <ikonia> Aazoris: no it doesn't it shows a hostname
[22:38] <syme> is there any reason why rhythmbox would suddenly stop mounting my ipod touch?
[22:38] <Pr0jectRec0n> BluShift, :) let's leave it at that
[22:38] <Loshki> b0n1: I think /var/mail might be used for temporary storage while procmail processes emails. It's is set-group-id mail on my machine...
[22:38] <Tesla__> hello i have a question as to what is the preferred email daemon?
[22:38] <LjL> ikonia: well yes it does
[22:38] <BluShift> Pr0jectRec0n: ;)
[22:38] <Gear0> Is there a way that I can display my laptop battery life inside the terminal??
[22:38] <ikonia> Aazoris: I can see your home ip address of c-98-213-185-253.hsd1.in.comcast.net so it's not a big deal
[22:38] <recon69_lap> BluShift: try  sudo lshw -C display , maybe no a pci device :)
[22:38] <Aazoris> Linux Marcus.com 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5.028stab068.5 #1 SMP Mon Mar 15 19:26:36 MSK 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linu
[22:38] <ikonia> Aazoris: just show the line
[22:38] <ikonia> Aazoris: that's redhat - not ubuntu
[22:39] <dagon> Excellent it sees it as it is. Thank you again
[22:39] <Aazoris> r u serious
[22:39] <BluShift> recon69_lap: It's connected to a PCI port. I can't imagine it being anything different.
[22:39] <Tesla__> anyone have experience using email daemons?
[22:39] <ikonia> Aazoris: yes
[22:39] <ikonia> Tesla__: ask your question
[22:39] <Aazoris> thanks ikonia
[22:39] <LjL> Gear0: i don't remember what the filename is exactly, but something like cat /proc/acpi/battery/bat0/state
[22:39] <BluShift> ikonia: rofl rofl rofl
[22:39] <Tesla__> I did: "what is the most commonly used email daemon"
[22:39] <ikonia> Tesla__: there are many - it's personal choice
[22:39] <b0n1> Loshki,  it seems he procmail puts all the default mails in there
[22:39] <Hawaiian_Eskimo> what port does SSH use?
[22:39] <b0n1> its a 15 mb text file
[22:40] <GeekSquid> Aazoris: actually it is CentOS
[22:40] <Tesla__> ikonia: in a professional setting?
[22:40] <b0n1> pretty much
[22:40] <BluShift> Hawaiian_Eskimo: 22
[22:40] <Cynthia> Hawaiian_Eskimo: 22 by default
[22:40] <ikonia> Tesla__: there are many, it's personal choice
[22:40] <BluShift> Hawaiian_Eskimo: Although, a simple Google would have told you that ;)
[22:40]  * Hawaiian_Eskimo punches 22 into port forwarding
[22:40] <celeborn999> Hawaiian_Eskimo: cat /etc/services | grep ssh
[22:40] <AnxiousNut> QuickSenergy isnt working anymore!!! it used to before restarting my PC without any problem!!! :(
[22:40] <ikonia> Tesla__: don't forget there are many different types of mail configs, from perimeter relays, to subdomain mailhosts, it's a big topic
[22:40] <b0n1> but i absolutely have no idea why, procmail does this what i tell it to do, and that is what is written in the procmailrc right?
[22:40]  * BluShift asks Hawaiian_Eskimo for his servers IP address
[22:40] <Hawaiian_Eskimo> BluShift: meh, irc was open :P
[22:41] <LuisMi_> somebody use sqlite?
[22:41] <Roasted> How often do new variants of LTS releases come out? 10.04 came out late April. When would 10.04.1 come out?
[22:41] <rsk> Roasted it'
[22:41] <Loshki> b0n1: sounds like your config isn't quite right. I assume there's some way of telling it where to put default emails. If you fixed the permissions on /var/mail, have another look at the log file...
[22:41] <rsk> s in the scheduele
[22:41] <ikonia> Roasted: when it's needed
[22:41] <BluShift> How can I reconfigure the networking devices as done so by a fresh install?
[22:41] <LjL> Roasted: i don't think there's a fixed schedule, it might not even come out at all
[22:42] <b0n1> ok
[22:42] <recon69_lap> BluShift: assumption will screw you every time with computers :)
[22:42] <Talon_> I just installed ubuntu on my laptop. I have 9.10 on my PC, 10.04 on my laptop. Both pc and laptop have wireless, how do I share files between the two?
[22:42] <ikonia> LjL: there was a placeholder, but I think it's as and when needed as you suggest
[22:42] <BluShift> recon69_lap: Touche'
[22:42] <anthony> Everytime I try to select a PGP key to use in Psi, it crashes.  If I run it from a terminal, I get the error "segmentation fault".  Does anyone know how to resolve this?
[22:42] <dancek> LuisMi_, well, i use software that uses sqlite
[22:42] <celeborn999> Talon_: flash drive
[22:42] <Shapeshifter> Hello there, I'm having stuttering issues with this radeon 9600 on a freshly installed 10.04. Seems like turning off KMS would do the trick, but I see there's no /boot/grub/menu.lst. Where do I set this "radeon.modeset=0" ??
[22:42] <BluShift> anthony: Try running as root? Otherwise it's a software bug.
[22:42] <Gear0> LjL: I think I found it  /proc/acpi/battery  then either C1BB or C1BC  for me C1BC seems to be what I need.
[22:42] <dancek> LuisMi_, you have a question about it?
[22:43] <Roasted> LjL, ikonia, ah. I didn't know that. Is there a way to at least gett 10.04 with ALL of the lates updates and kernels installed in case I have a problem even installing 10.04 with the default kernel to begin with?
[22:43] <zamba> how can i time how fast i can read/write to a nfs share?
[22:43]  * Talon_ un-installs ubuntu then
[22:43] <slow-motion> n8
[22:43] <LuisMi_> dancek, i want to do a program with C++ and sqlite
[22:43] <ikonia> Roasted: you won't have a problem
[22:43] <anthony> BluShift:  Then it's a software bug.  Thanks :D
[22:43] <LjL> Roasted: yes - use the Minimal CD, that'll get everything from the internet instead of from the CD
[22:43] <LjL> !minimal > Roasted    (Roasted, see the private message from ubottu)
[22:43] <ikonia> Roasted: there have not been many updates either
[22:43] <anthony> BluShift: You wouldn't happen to know an alternative for PGP IM, would you?
[22:43] <Aazoris> ikonia, what should Ubuntu info look like....?
[22:43] <Roasted> ikonia, I know. It's just a general question.
[22:43] <dancek> LuisMi_, and? (i've written python + sqlite myself)
[22:43] <ikonia> Aazoris: depends on a lot of things
[22:43] <ikonia> Roasted: you'd have to do a respin
[22:44] <BluShift> anthony: What's it used for? I'm not feeling up to a good Google
[22:44] <LuisMi_> how conect C++ and sqlite?
[22:44]  * LjL vaguely suspects ikonia is not going to answer that one ;)
[22:44] <ikonia> Roasted: of follow ljl's advice for a net install
[22:44] <celeborn999> Talon_: I don't use it but I think Ubuntu One is designed for that sort of thing, too
[22:44] <ikonia> "or"
[22:44] <Roasted> ikonia, is there no where where pople upload their own respins?
[22:44] <LjL> LuisMi_: probably best to ask in #sqlite
[22:44] <ikonia> Roasted: no-where official, tons of unofficial ones that i wouldn't trust
[22:44] <anthony> BluShift: Just so I have something for PGP-encrypted conversations since Pidgin doesn't support PGP.
[22:44] <Shapeshifter> Where's the menu.lst in this ubuntu?
[22:44] <Shapeshifter> it's not where it's supposed to be :O
[22:44] <LjL> Shapeshifter: it's not there with GRUB2
[22:44] <BluShift> LuisMi_: You can either use embedded SQL, which will be ignored by your compiler, or you can use libraries. Either way will work fine/.
[22:44] <ikonia> Shapeshifter: ubuntu now uses grub2 so menu.lst is dead
[22:44] <LjL> !grub2 > Shapeshifter    (Shapeshifter, see the private message from ubottu)
[22:44] <LuisMi_> dancek, what file i need  for program C++ and sqlite?
[22:45] <b0n1> Loshki,  i will paste 4 lines here ok ?
[22:45] <Shapeshifter> LjL, ikonia: ah thanks
[22:45] <Aazoris> How'd you figure that it was Redhat/CentOS... i.e. by the version numbers or etc.? Im writing a request for refund and need proof...?
[22:45] <BluShift> anthony: I have no alternatives :(
[22:45] <ikonia> Aazoris: cat /etc/redhat-release - just send them that
[22:45] <b0n1> MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail                # Dieses Verzeichnis muss existieren
[22:45] <b0n1> LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmaillog        # Name der Protokolldatei

[22:45] <Loshki> b0n1: absolutely *not*. Pastes go to  http://paste.ubuntu.com
[22:45] <LuisMi_> BluShift, I want use libraries. with C++ and sqlite
[22:45] <BluShift> LuisMi_: You need a driver for your SQL server, first of all.
[22:45] <b0n1> thats the head of my .procmailrc the rest is just filter settings
[22:46] <GeekSquid> Aazoris: give them the output of uname -a ... you wanted an ubuntu server you got CentOS, they should fix it for you at least
[22:46] <BluShift> How do i re-detect and reconfigure all my network devices, like a fresh install?
[22:46] <Shapeshifter> LjL: so I put it in grub.cfg instead?
[22:46] <Loshki> b0n1: try setting VERBOSE to 'on' and reading the logs again?
[22:46] <VirusTB> 100 MPH :O
[22:46] <dancek> LuisMi_, install libsqlite3-dev and refer to http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/intro.html
[22:46] <VirusTB>  my Chevvy goes faster thn that
[22:46] <LjL> Shapeshifter: i'm not entirely sure in all honesty, i still use Hardy myself, i just know menu.lst isn't there
[22:46] <VirusTB> opps.. lol wrong IRC
[22:46] <BluShift> Is LILO used for anything anymore?
[22:47] <GeekSquid> !grub2 | Shapeshifter
[22:47] <LjL> BluShift: in my debian server ;)
[22:47] <Shapeshifter> GeekSquid: yeah, yeah :)
[22:47] <ikonia> BluShift: some people like it, can be good for things like raid devices
[22:47] <BluShift> How do i re-detect and reconfigure all my network devices, like a fresh install would?
[22:47] <LuisMi_> thanks dancek
[22:47] <BluShift> ikonia: Fair enough.
[22:47] <Loshki> b0n1: there is also #procmail which should give you better help than I can...
[22:47] <bastid_raZor> Shapeshifter: no, you'll edit /etc/default/grub and do a sudo update-grub
[22:47] <Shapeshifter> GeekSquid: question is, where do I put radeon.modeset=0?
[22:47] <b0n1> Loshki,  procmaillog is empty
[22:48] <b0n1> yeah i will have a try there
[22:48] <Loshki> b0n1: best of luck...
[22:48] <Hawaiian_Eskimo> weird...
[22:48] <BluShift> How do i re-detect and reconfigure all my network devices, like a fresh install would?
[22:48] <helo> i have a nice setup installed on this machine, and would like to make copies for my coworkers... after making each copy, i need to regenerate the ssh host keys... anything else?
[22:49] <BluShift> helo: Hostnames?
[22:49] <Hawaiian_Eskimo> sudo echo "user pptpd password *" >> /etc/ppp/chap-secrets returns permission denied, even though i used sudo
[22:49] <GeekSquid> Shapeshifter: /etc/default/grub .... then sudo update-grub
[22:49] <ikonia> helo: hostname/ip address, uuid's
[22:49] <Hawaiian_Eskimo> but if i do it as root then it works fine :|
[22:49] <bastid_raZor> Hawaiian_Eskimo: echo "stuff" | sudo tee -a /path/to/file
[22:49] <jrib> Hawaiian_Eskimo: the redirection happens as your user
[22:49] <BluShift> How do i re-detect and reconfigure all my network devices, like a fresh install would?
[22:50] <Shapeshifter> GeekSquid: in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT options array?
[22:50] <Hawaiian_Eskimo> meh. thought it would apply to the whole thing. guess not.
[22:50] <Shapeshifter> s/array/line
[22:50] <ikonia> BluShift: you don't, you just configure them either in the desktop or the config file
[22:50] <BitWraith> I just installed xubuntu. every time I increase the backlight brightness, something turns it back down. How do I fix that?
[22:50] <GeekSquid> Shapeshifter:  good place as any
[22:50] <BitWraith> I am going directly to the sysfs to set the brightness, btw
[22:50] <Shapeshifter> GeekSquid: okay thanks
[22:51] <BluShift> ikonia: So, how would I go about re-detecting an NIC that used to work, but is no longer being detected by the system? I installed ndiswrapper, tried some drivers for another NIC, (taking the name wlan0 in the process) and now that I've uninstalled ndiswrapper (and the driver with it) and put the previous card in (which worked out of the box) it no longer is being detected.
[22:52] <ikonia> BluShift: you need to figure out why the card no longer works, the reason it can't see it is technical, so a redect would just miss it again
[22:53] <StrangeCharm> how do i view the system log?
[22:54] <BluShift> ikonia: Hmm. Ok.
[22:54] <recon69_lap> BluShift: did you blacklist any drivers when you setup ndistwrapper?
[22:54] <BluShift> recon69_lap: Not that I'm aware os.
[22:54] <BluShift> of*
[22:55] <ikonia> BluShift: can you remember anything that changed between it working a not (kernel update is most common)
[22:55] <xomp> anyone know why I can't SFTP into my ubuntu 8.04 VPS? I get "Out of Memory" errors in Filezilla/psftp but get this error in WinSCP http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/323/sftp.jpg
[22:55] <ikonia> BluShift: does lspci show the card ?
[22:55] <ikonia> BluShift: does the syslog show it being found but ignored at boot time
[22:56] <BluShift> ikonia: Not in a form i recognize. It lists a "Texas Instruments" device, but that's all.
[22:56] <ikonia> BluShift: all things to investigate
[22:56] <BluShift> ikonia: I will do so.
[22:56] <bybyby> by
[22:56] <ikonia> BluShift: then it looks like there maybe a hadware problem with that card, as lspci doesn't care if it's usable or not, it just (should) see it as a dumb deice
[22:56] <ikonia> BluShift: is this a laptop ?
[22:56] <moegreen> hey guys is there an app that allows me to download flash video from a website?
[22:56] <BluShift> It doesn't appear to work in Windows, either -- is it possible the PCI port is damaged? I tried it in both ports though, and it works in neither.
[22:56] <storrgie> my ubuntu server is not getting an address from the DHCP, and when i do a 'services network status' it says network: unrecognized service... does anyone have any idea where I can poke around to check out my settings?
[22:56] <BluShift> ikonia: No, it's a desktop.
[22:57] <jrib> moegreen: keepvid.com ?
[22:57] <ikonia> BluShift: sounds like the card is dead
[22:57] <BluShift> ikonia: It works fine in my brothers machine, though :/
[22:57] <ikonia> BluShift: sounds like the socket/bus is dead
[22:57] <BluShift> Both of them, though?
[22:57] <moegreen> jrib...thx ill check that out
[22:57] <ikonia> BluShift: or got damaged in transit
[22:57] <BluShift> ikonia: Huh.
[22:58] <GeekSquid> xomp: your vps is passing a 2gig packet, for some wierd reason
[22:58] <adies> could anyone tell me how to get firefox to use gpodder to open podcasts
[22:58] <xomp> GeekSquid, lol really?
[22:58] <BluShift> GeekSquid: Do 2 GB packets even exist?
[22:58] <Aazoris> gb
[22:58] <Aazoris> gigabit
[22:58] <Aazoris> not byte
[22:58] <GeekSquid> BluShift: look at the JPG, xomp posted, looks like 2 gigs to me
[22:59] <BluShift> GeekSquid: What protocol supports a 2 GB packet?
[22:59] <xomp> GeekSquid, I've been trying to get SFTP working on that box for a week now with no progress heh
[22:59] <GeekSquid> BluShift: none that I know of
[22:59] <moegreen> thats is not working...BTW its a site that i login into to view videos
[22:59] <BluShift> moegreen: "Videos" eh? heh heh
[22:59] <GeekSquid> xomp: total strangeness, where is your vps hosted?
[22:59] <lancesrage> I need help installing windows xp duel boot from a usb device because im out of disks can anyone help me im do this in ubuntu
[23:00] <btr> but the weired thing was that the screen when I was installing the driver in init 1, claims many lines of HDD error .. mm (btr goes to fsck in paranoia) +_+; best luck everyone ..
[23:00] <Loshki> xomp: can you login using regular ssh?
[23:00] <xomp> Loshki, yeah, SSH login works a trea
[23:00] <BluShift> lancesrage: Install XP first,  ubuntu second.
[23:00] <xomp> GeekSquid, www.dmehosting.com
[23:00] <fuzzybunny69y> hey everyone for some reason whenever I startup my computer I get a message saying something about cryptswap1 not being mounted and then I can push S to skip loading it. Does anyone know how I can disable this?
[23:00] <ikonia> xomp: have you enabled the sftp subsystem in the sshd_config ?
[23:01] <xomp> ikonia, can you explain how I would check that? I think I checked it in the past and it was enable, just can't remember how.
[23:01] <lancesrage> BluShift im gona have to wipe ubuntu but i still need a program to put an iso on a usb device so i can use that instead of a disk
[23:01] <anthony> Is there a way to turn off the "____ has signed in" messages in Pidgin?
[23:01] <Aazoris> i cant beleive i got cheated out of my money
[23:01] <ikonia> xomp: look in your sshd_config for Subsystem sftp
[23:01] <BluShift> lancesrage: Unetbootin is great. I'm not sure if it works with Windows images, though.
[23:01] <Aazoris> wow
[23:02] <GeekSquid> anthony: buddy list window/ options>plugins ... Hide join/parts/quits
[23:02] <lancesrage> i just need something for an iso ill try that
[23:02] <ikonia> Aazoris: this is no longer an ubuntu issue
[23:03] <BluShift> lancesrage: For putting an iso on a disc, I'd recommend imgburn or infrarecorder.
[23:03] <xomp> ikonia, I have this in my /etc/ssh/sshd_config Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
[23:03] <ikonia> xomp: looks fine then
[23:03] <BluShift> lancesrage: For an iso on a flash stick, I'd stick with UNetbootin
[23:03] <xomp> ikonia, I can even sftp FROM the VPS to the VPS
[23:04] <anthony> kthx
[23:04] <xomp> ikonia, but trying to sftp from my home computer to the VPS is where it doesn't work
[23:04] <lancesrage> BluShift that might work i have no disk burner so it has to be usb
[23:04] <BluShift> I see.
[23:05] <ikonia> xomp: maybe it's the client, some clients behave differently
[23:05] <lancesrage> because i have an ubuntu 9.04 disk i just need a usb for the xp iso
[23:05] <xomp> ikonia, I've tried Filezilla, psftp and WinSCP all of which fail :(
[23:05] <recon69_lap> lancesrage: there is a special tool for that usb-creator-gkt
[23:05] <charless40> hola
[23:05] <Shapeshifter> Well this sucks big time -.-'' When I add nomodeset or radeon.modeset=0, then it boots fine (without KMS), but as soon as compiz starts there's full lock and I can't do anything except hard resetting.
[23:05] <charless40> hola
[23:05] <charless40> quien es eliezer
[23:05] <xomp> !es | charless40
[23:06] <Shapeshifter> and with KMS I have bad performance on very specific occasions
[23:06] <lancesrage> recon69_lap if your refering to the ubuntu defalt usb start up disk creator it dosent work
[23:06] <Shapeshifter> and those hickups I get are very grave. even sound hicks
[23:06] <blue_anna> what does it mean when I click the help button in a gnome preferences app and it just disappears, no erros in the .xsession-errors log?
[23:07] <Shapeshifter> full locks for half a second when I maximize a window for example. at the same time, effects are very smooth, or 3d works fine
[23:08] <macman_> can you enable copy and paste with the mouse at a terminal screen ? im not in X atm
[23:08] <Shapeshifter> chanserv flooding floodbots is kinda ironic
[23:09] <xomp> ikonia, I managed to find this about the error http://winscp.net/eng/docs/message_large_packet
[23:09] <xomp> ikonia, but not sure how to look into what it's saying lol
[23:10] <Loshki> xomp: I see lots of google hits for "received too large sftp packet". Start working through them :-(
[23:10] <xomp> Loshki, that's what I've been doing but I don't know how to check what they want me to check because it's so vague
[23:11] <datta> I have installed cinelerra but it's showing up in multiple windows
[23:11] <datta> how do I I combine it to make it come in one window?
[23:12] <_HardDisk> hmm
[23:12] <dirtyarab> hey ;)
[23:13] <HardDisk> is that you randall?
[23:13] <lancesrage> thanks for your help guys i will try the windows version of usb using vmware
[23:13] <dirtyarab> can anyone assist me with my input not supported only during 3d games?
[23:13] <HardDisk> dirtyarab...what's the prob
[23:13] <macman_> how do you hightlight it
[23:13] <macman_> oops
[23:14] <dirtyarab> i am running 10.04 with nvidia 195.36.15
[23:14] <dirtyarab> it installed great finally ditched windows;) but not when i try to play Urban terror or open arena it has the monitor box scrolling saying input not supported
[23:15] <HardDisk> dirtyarab, did you check nvidia-settings that everything is good?
[23:15] <HardDisk> and input not supported, that's your refresh rate
[23:16] <dirtyarab> well i am running same resolutions as in windows 1280/1024 at 75 hz
[23:16] <datta> can anyone tell me how to combine windows in cinerella
[23:16] <HardDisk> dirtyarab, make sure you run sudo nvidia-xconfig in terminal
[23:16] <HardDisk> restart x
[23:16] <HardDisk> that will configure your nvidia
[23:16] <MACscr_lappy> my xorg.conf file doesnt appear to be used. Can i disable xrandr?
[23:16] <HardDisk> then run urban terror, but check your refresh rate
[23:16] <btr> \o/
[23:17] <MACscr_lappy> xrandr doesnt support multiple cards, so i might as well disable it
[23:17] <purpley> Why is lucid so laggy? Karmic was 3x faster, everything is freezing up, Im running 64 bit with a quad core clocked at 2.66 ghz 8 gigs of memory 2 gigs of swap space 64bit and its a fresh install
[23:18] <Jordan_U> purpley: What graphics card?
[23:18] <purpley> nvidia 9800 GTX+
[23:18] <HardDisk> purpley, define laggy, im 64bit on a core2duo 4gigs ram and its much faster than karmic.
[23:19] <HardDisk> do you mean laggy videos?
[23:19] <HardDisk> laggy compiz?
[23:19] <soreau> laggy nvidia driver
[23:20] <BenefitX> hello, one of my folders has a cloud, but it's not synced on ubuntu one.
[23:20] <BenefitX> what could it be for
[23:21] <BenefitX> it also has a red cirle with an x
[23:21] <purpley> Like firefox, rythymbox, terminal, file manager and vlc media player keep locking up and going gray
[23:21] <purpley> I doubt im being ddosed because my router is NAT and i have no open ports
[23:21] <HardDisk> grey...do you have compiz enabled?
[23:22] <HardDisk> try it without the effects
[23:22] <sebsebseb> purpley: I think some other people have had similar issues, well it's ok to go back to 9.10, or go to another distro.
[23:22] <HardDisk> if everything works fine without it, then we know where the problem lies
[23:22] <BenefitX> ubuntu need it's own search engine
[23:23] <dirtyarab> Hard disk ;)
[23:23] <HardDisk> yea I know what's going on
[23:23] <HardDisk> don't think I'm not aware :)
[23:23] <sebsebseb> BenefitX: try #ubuntuone
[23:24] <dirtyarab> so i came up with sometihng i went into nvidia display changed it to 1280x1024 instead of auto... went into UT changed the settings to the same and no error.. but as soon as i change the setting within UT to 8x6 or 1024 x768 same error comes up again
[23:24] <dirtyarab> nothing i can do about that i take it?
[23:24] <zaxonspox> hello, can somebody tell me hov it is posible to lost efects of work on file on EXT3 fs making File Save before system crash?
[23:25] <AbuMaia> I have used system>administration>usb startup disk creator to copy the 10.04 iso to my usb drive.  Is there a way to edit it to include other programs like antivirus?  I had to use the usb drive to recover my mother's windows computer from a virus, but there was no antivirus included in the livecd.
[23:25] <acerimmer> AbuMaia: boot the usb, then add packages.
[23:26] <AbuMaia> acerimmer: it's not a persistent usb
[23:27] <acerimmer> AbuMaia: not sure i understand.  I added wifi drivers to my live usb and it retained them...
[23:27] <purpley> Sorry im back
[23:27] <AnxiousNut> please help! Quick synergy stopped working!!
[23:27] <thenoviceoof> AbuMaia: I'm actually working on the same problem, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[23:27] <AbuMaia> well, I'll give it a shot... thanks acerimmer
[23:27] <sebsebseb> purpley: Did you get my message?
[23:28] <purpley> sebsebseb, No I disconnected
[23:28] <thenoviceoof> AbuMaia: also check out http://uck.sourceforge.net/
[23:28] <sebsebseb> purpley: I think some other people have had similar issues, well it's ok to go back to 9.10, or go to another distro.
[23:28] <nopolitica> hello! i've erased configuration for asterisk package and when i'm trying to install it again i see /etc/asterisk is empty (
[23:29] <nopolitica> dpkg-reconfigure asterisk does nothing (
[23:29] <AbuMaia> thanks thenoviceoof
[23:30] <purpley> sebsebseb, Is it a valid bug that im expiencing? Is the ubuntu team working on it? I just came from 9.10 because I was having problems and needed to upgrade
[23:30] <sebsebseb> purpley: By the sounds of it, loads  of your apps are slow?
[23:31] <purpley> sebsebseb, Exactly, and I think it would be foolish to overclock my cpu or memory considering they should be enough
[23:31] <sebsebseb> purpley: I remember with uhmm 9.04 I beliege it was, someone had a similar issue on a lap top.
[23:31] <sebsebseb> belive
[23:32] <sebsebseb> purpley: So in 9.10 things were slow as well?
[23:32] <sebsebseb> purpley: on your hardware things are obviously not meant to be slow
[23:32] <purpley> sebsebseb, No lightning fast at a fresh install, but before I upgraded like a snail but that was because I had so many libaries and it was just junked up
[23:32] <zu> Hi, with wubi I have a "linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-16-generic root=/dev/sda1 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro" line in grub.cfg. I don't find the "loop=" parameter definition in http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt, what does it do exactly ? and where can I find information ?
[23:32] <sebsebseb> purpley: Clean install of 10.04 or upgrade from 9.10?
[23:33] <purpley> sebsebseb, Clean install of 10.04, its filesystem is ext4
[23:33] <ryder> who wants
[23:33] <sebsebseb> purpley: ok and after the clean install of 10.04 slowness?
[23:33] <ryder> to suck my DICK
[23:33] <sebsebseb> !ops | ryder
[23:33] <purpley> sebsebseb, Yes
[23:33]  * jrib was trying to come up with clever kick message
[23:34] <LjL> lies, you're just slow ;(
[23:34] <ladyna> hi (:
[23:35] <arand> !hi | ladyna
[23:35] <mrwizeguy1983> the update to 10.04 messed up my touchpad, anyone know how to fix that?
[23:36] <Sonsee> what went wrong?
[23:36] <mrwizeguy1983> well, it won't load the driver
[23:36] <purpley> sebsebseb, Yes
[23:36] <hookworm24> Just upgraded from Karmic to 10.4 on my dell latitude d400. it is now hanging on startup and i cannot boot the operating system. i see the ubuntu screen for a second and the it goes black and becomes unresponsive. any idea as to what i can do about this?
[23:36] <Sonsee> what driver?
[23:36] <mrwizeguy1983> i can use it to move the mouse, but that's all
[23:36] <mrwizeguy1983> the synaptics driver won't load
[23:36] <sebsebseb> purpley: have you got graphics card driver installed?
[23:37] <purpley> sebsebseb, Yes the proprietary
[23:37] <mrwizeguy1983> i tried tpconfig to see if i could set some settings Sonsee but it said it couldn't open Ps/2 port [/dev/psaux]
[23:37] <sebsebseb> purpley: ok I remember now yeah someone before with a previous version had a similar issue as I was saying, then they installed the graphics card driver and things speed up a bit
 try previeus kernel if you have and it will work, I hope )) somehow, on my dell the 10.04 does not work with the latest kernel either.
[23:39] <sebsebseb> purpley: Maybe you installed from a bad ISO of 10.04, but I don't think thats the problem
[23:39] <sebsebseb> purpley: xorg is differnet in each Ubuntu release
[23:39] <bsmith093> umm just wondering but why isnt linux mint or ultimate linux supported by the ubuntu team?
[23:39] <bsmith093> also what is the diff between them?
[23:39] <sebsebseb> !ultimate | bsmith093
[23:39] <hookworm24> Sonsee, I wanted to try that but i'm not sure what to press/ what commands to use...i'm a bit of a linux noob.
[23:39] <sebsebseb> bsmith093: They are Ubuntu based
[23:40] <bsmith093> yes and...?
[23:40] <mrwizeguy1983> so any ideas on the mous Sonsee ?
[23:40] <sebsebseb> bsmith093: Ultimate is like a unoffical version of Ubuntu, same thing for the Christian Edition for example
[23:40] <sebsebseb> bsmith093: where as Mint is a distro that is based on Ubuntu
 only google
 no, sorry)
[23:40] <bsmith093> join #linuxmce
[23:40] <mrwizeguy1983> been there done that Sonsee, nothing good to find yet i suppose
 I went to 9.10
 ;)
[23:41] <sebsebseb> bsmith093: May as well use real Ubuntu :)  not anything that is based on it
[23:41] <sebsebseb> bsmith093: plus if you do that, you can get support in this big channel
[23:41] <mrwizeguy1983> i had 9.10 before, but i always do upgrades, i like to see the future.  starting to regret this last one Sonsee
[23:41] <bsmith093> i do use regular ubuntu
[23:42] <purpley> sebsebseb, Is there a way to check the intergrity of the kernel? I used the 64bit ubuntu desktop torrent
[23:42] <sebsebseb> purpley: oh lost you again?
[23:42] <sebsebseb> purpley: not sure if you got this
[23:42] <sebsebseb> purpley: Maybe you installed from a bad ISO of 10.04, but I don't think thats the problem
 when you load your laptop just do up-down right after the first logo of bios
[23:42] <purpley> sebsebseb, Sadly :( I dont like comcast very much there unreliable in my opinion
[23:42] <purpley> Yeah I got it
[23:42] <sebsebseb> purpley: xorg is differnet in each Ubuntu release
[23:42] <purpley> sebsebseb, Should I do a file system check using fsck?
[23:43] <sebsebseb> purpley: if you want
 gui you mean?
[23:43] <purpley> Or is there a way to check the kernel? Im not to keen on kernels
[23:43] <nopolitica> hey! how to recover configuration files of certain package? )
 you can install on 9.10 too
[23:43] <sebsebseb> purpley: I think  maybe you should upt 9.10 back on,  or  try another distro on there, to see if that works better :)
[23:43] <wyatt> hi guys
[23:43] <wyatt> can someone help me with lucid?
[23:43] <mrwizeguy1983> Sonsee, i don't like backing up, i'll probably just use it until the fix comes out
[23:43] <sebsebseb> !ask | wyatt
[23:44] <purpley> sebsebseb, Ill deal with it :( patience is a virtue hopefully soon the developers will release a fix, although I havent updated yet, Like used the update-manager and downloaded the 86 updates yet
[23:44] <sebsebseb> purpley: a fix for your issue,
[23:44] <sebsebseb> purpley: uhmm  don't put your hopes in to that to much
[23:45] <wyatt> i have a problem with my wireless adapter
[23:45] <sebsebseb> purpley: espesailly since not that many other people on 64bit will have a similar issue
[23:45] <purpley> Dang :(
[23:45] <mickster04> !details | wyatt
[23:45] <sebsebseb> purpley: also once an Ubuntu release comes out, well it's security updates, and that's it useually. or only.  however since 10.04 is LTS there will be some backports from a later version later on for some things I guess, but not for your issue
[23:45] <hookworm24> Sonsee, It appears my error on startup is "ERROR: Frimware file "b43legacy/ucode4.fw" not found or load failed"  any idea what this means? seems to be a driver of sorts...?
 should work out of the box.
[23:46] <sebsebseb> purpley: some issues such as yours,  are distro specific,  wel I have a feeling yours is distro specific, and so an Ubuntu issue, but   that things will probably work well on another distro,  so its worth trying something else really,   unless you want to just go back to 9.10 of course
 tell me what you did with laptop in ubuntu in a few words.
[23:47] <Lasivian> any suggestions on a cheap older tablt that runs Linux well?
[23:47] <wyatt> i have a problem with d-link dwl g132 Lucid doesn't find my device. I use ndiswrapper and i install windows driver but nothing changed and now when i type ndiswrapper -l i have this message
 what system did you have, etc
[23:47] <mickster04> Sonsee: you dont need the < >'s
[23:47] <C0il> hi
[23:47] <Lasivian> I was thinking about getting one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-TC1100-Tablet-w-Keyboard-Stylus-Docking-Station-/330431528419
[23:47] <wild_bat> !hi C0il
[23:47] <purpley> sebsebseb, OK, thanks a lot for your help anyway really appreciate it
[23:47] <purpley> You help me with a lot of my problems I dont know if you remeber me but im in here quite often
 ))
[23:48] <bjhaid> hi everyone, I am trying to share internet connectionn between my windows XP and m ubuntu machine, cannot get to do this can anyone please help?
 why does it bother you?)
[23:48] <C0il> hello wild_bat
[23:49] <sebsebseb> purpley: Ubuntu isn't always the best distro, depends on the user, but also their hardware
[23:49] <mickster04> Sonsee: yes, cos it sticks out
[23:49] <wyatt> sorry guys i'm back
[23:49] <sebsebseb> purpley: and with your hardware, things should be working well really, lap top or desktop?
[23:49] <Sonsee> mickster04 is that better?
[23:49] <wyatt> WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.
[23:49] <wyatt> neta5agu : driver installed
[23:49] <wyatt>     device (2001:3A03) present
[23:49] <mickster04> Sonsee: much :P
[23:49] <sebsebseb> purpley: maybe your hardware is faiilng actsually, but thats probably not it.
[23:50] <hookworm24> Sonsee, I was running xubuntu 9.04 and i used the update manager to upgrade to 10.04. the upgrade seemed to go on without any problems. i restarted after the upgrade and now it hangs on startup just as the xubuntu screen appears. that error message appears just before.
[23:50] <wyatt> any solutions?
[23:50] <Sonsee> hookworm24 then you MUST have the previeus kernel. Try to load that.
[23:50] <bjhaid>  hi everyone, I am trying to share internet connection between my windows XP and m ubuntu machine, cannot get to do this can anyone please help
[23:51] <mickster04> wyatt: one line and try again
[23:51] <bsmith093> does anyone know how i could pipe totally random output to a file
[23:51] <wild_bat> is there a fix or workaround for gdesklets for 10.04 yet?
[23:51] <purpley> sebsebseb, Ahh I cant go to another distro, Ive used many distros about 14 and my first was ubuntu and last will be ubuntu its community is just the best help :)
[23:51] <wyatt> one line ?
[23:51] <hookworm24> Sonsee, sorry, it was 9.10 that I upgraded from.
[23:51] <Sonsee> hookworm24 this one too.
[23:51] <mickster04> !deTAILS | wyatt
[23:51] <Sonsee> hookworm24 I had that problem
[23:51] <wyatt> i'm a toatlly newbie on ubuntu
[23:51] <unop> bsmith093,  dd if=/dev/urandom | tee yourfile   # add -a to tee if you want to append
[23:52] <hookworm24> Sonsee, not sure how to access previous kernels, i am at the recovery menu, can i do it from shell prompt?
[23:52] <sebsebseb> purpley: uhmm  most distros have a good community on IRC and that as well,  just not as big as this channel by a long way.
[23:52] <Sonsee> hookworm24 I don`t know why the ubuntu`s kernel does not load on dell ))
[23:52] <pdist> Hi, I am trying to build latest SVN on Ubuntu Lucid, I get this error:   http://pastebin.com/a7SxyV2i
[23:52] <mickster04> wyatt: do that whole problem in one line, use pastebin for output
[23:52] <pdist> If anyone can help, please do.
[23:52] <_blackwater_> wild_bat yeah just a temp fix no permanent one - looking for the link hold on
[23:52] <hookworm24> Sonsee, i think i will be reinstalling karmic until this is sorted
[23:52] <Sonsee> hookworm24 can you access the grub loader?
[23:52] <unop> bsmith093, actually, don't do that ...
[23:52] <bsmith093> why not
[23:52] <unop> bsmith093,  dd if=/dev/urandom of=yourfile
[23:52] <Lasivian> Any suggestions on a used tablet I might get for under $400 that runs Ubuntu well?
[23:52] <purpley> sebsebseb, Well true it all depends on the users taste
[23:53] <wild_bat> _blackwater_, \(^.^)/ thanks
[23:53] <sebsebseb> purpley: however I don't even see, most people that come here, chat in here
[23:53] <unop> bsmith093, well, tee is redundant there - and it will also put the random output to the terminal -- and possibly mess it up

[23:53] <bjhaid>  hi everyone, I am trying to share internet connection between my windows XP and m ubuntu machine, cannot get to do this can anyone please help
[23:53] <mickster04> bjhaid: which way?
[23:53] <_blackwater_> wild_bat keep in mind that's a patched deb package with the fixes for python 5 support
[23:54] <eddvrs> !repeat| bjhaid
[23:54] <Sonsee> bjhaid try samba
[23:54] <Sonsee> bjhaid google it ;)
[23:54] <An_Ony_Moose> how can I start ubiquity in an installation of ubuntu? It shows me no options to force it.
[23:54] <unop> bsmith093, you can control how much to read, etc with dd's parameters - see the dd manpage
[23:54] <btr> bjhaid: samba!
[23:54] <bsmith093> thanks
[23:54] <bjhaid> sonsee i know samba, but i cannot get to install samba without sharing internet connection
[23:54] <hookworm24> Sonsee, I will try. for some reason it does not pop automatically like it does on this ubuntu machine. not sure why
[23:54] <Sonsee> bjhaid sorry, didn`t get it ))
[23:55] <wild_bat> _blackwater_, i patched the system automacilly right?
[23:55] <bsmith093> you were right the tee command produces this to the terminal�:6|i�kR�3I|��D��'I_��P�?�Ȉ�i�kp�ˤ;;P��i.Yo�F����X
[23:55] <hookworm24> Sonsee, ok. loading previous kernel
[23:55] <Um_cara_qualquer> what's the best Java compiler for ubuntu?
[23:55] <wyatt> !detail | i have a problem with d-link dwl g192 i am running lucid i have tried to use ndiswrapper but nothing changed. Drivers are installed but no device on iwconfig
[23:56] <hookworm24> Sonsee, looks good so far
[23:56] <bjhaid> sonsee: my modem would not run on ubuntu, because its not linux compatible, so the only way to get internet on linux would be to share it
[23:56] <stabu> anyone know why i cant get the right resolution on a 720p tv via hdmi with ubuntu 10.4
[23:56] <Sonsee> hookworm24 try sudo update-grub in case you`ve deleted the lines from grub.cfg
[23:56] <_blackwater_> wild_bat that deb package on the site 'is' patched so just running it (after uninstalling anything present) will work.  It worked great for me.
[23:56] <wild_bat> _blackwater_, cool ^^
[23:56] <hookworm24> Sonsee, nah, it's all there, i just did not know how to access it
[23:56] <wyatt> !details | iwhen i type ndiswrapper -l this is the output WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.neta5agu : driver installed     device (2001:3A03) present

[23:57] <mickster04> wyatt: stop playing with the bot?
[23:57] <_blackwater_> wild_bat oh yah
[23:57] <wyatt> oh sorry mick
[23:57] <Sonsee> hookworm24 go to /boot/grub/grub.cfg file and delete the lines of the latest kernel so it will boot automatically
[23:57] <_blackwater_> wild_bat they may have diff patched file for your arch also.
[23:58] <mickster04> wyatt: the bot uses !<command> to help out, its not a user
[23:58] <Sonsee> hookworm24 then google that problem, I didn`t
[23:58] <bjhaid> sonsee i can get to run a server and client, but i cannot share internet connection, i use a static IP4 address and the server client relationship exist but i cannot share internet connection, dont know what to do
[23:58] <Sonsee> hookworm24 if you find some answers, tell me
[23:58] <wyatt> yes i understand it now :P
[23:58] <hookworm24> Sonsee, alright...i'll see what i can find. thanks for the help

[00:08] <GungaDin> hi
[00:09] <GungaDin> if a parent branch has been moved, does anything have to be configured or rebound in the child branch?
[00:12] <jelmer> GungaDin: yes, you can use "bzr bind" to do so
[00:25] <poolie> spiv, hi
[00:26] <poolie> what's next with bmp expanders?
[00:26] <poolie> i think the prerequisite has now merged
[00:27] <quotemstr> Where can I find the "bzr branches" command? It's not present in my bzr 2.3.1
[00:27] <quotemstr> Was it introduced in 2.4?
[00:27] <bob2> bzrtools
[00:31] <quotemstr> Thanks.
[00:49] <spiv> poolie: the next step is me finishing it I think!
[00:49] <spiv> poolie: danilo did a really good review
[00:56] <poolie> great
[04:51] <fullermd> Why does `bzr check --repo .` wander off down into branches in the dir instead of just checking the repo?
[04:54] <poolie> i don't know fullermd, that sounds like a bug
[04:54] <mwhudson> which reminds me, meld trunk no longer tries to run bzr check on your branch before opening it...
[04:55] <fullermd> It's already kinda irritating how the obstinate the searching is on check anyway, when it finds the branch's repo, then walks all the branches inside it in what seems like the slowest possible fashion...
[04:55] <fullermd> But it's double terrible this time, since there's an [unversioned and ignored] symlink in one of the branches, which leads to a dir, under which is a self-referential symlink...  which means the check blows up and never checks anything.
[04:58] <poolie> :/
[04:58] <poolie> so spiv, do you need a hand landing that branch?
[04:59] <poolie> should i just send it or do you need any further tweaks?
[04:59] <poolie> i refer to the bmp expander branch
[05:00] <spiv> poolie: I'm working on the review points atm
[05:01] <poolie> oh thanks
[05:01] <poolie> i can feed it up when you're done
[06:48] <vila> hi all !
[06:50] <poolie> hi there vila
[06:50] <vila> _o/
[07:04] <jam> morning all
[07:04] <vila> jam: \o_
[07:04] <vila> jam: did it ring ? ;)
[07:04] <jam> yep
[07:04] <vila> \o/
[07:07] <poolie> hi there jam
[07:07] <poolie> so much semaphore today
[07:09] <jam> -o \o  |o  \o  o/  o
[07:09] <jam> /  /     \ /  /   / |
[07:09] <jam> yeah, flag semaphore doesn't work very well on IRC
[07:09] <jam> (that was hi vila, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_semaphore)
[07:09] <jam> but you need a fixed-width font
[07:10] <vila> lol
[07:11] <jam> poolie: It turns out I can't be invited to google+ on my standard email, because it is a google-app-for-custom-domain, and it isn't supported. :(
[07:11] <poolie> huh
[07:11] <poolie> well, if you have an alternative address i could invite you there
[07:21]  * fullermd . o O ( using semaphore in IRC is kinda a red flag... )
[08:24] <maxb> OK, I'm confused..... why would a launchpadlib api call be happening during 'bzr ci' ?
[08:24] <maxb> (I can see an HTTP error in my ~/.bzr.log)
[08:25] <jam> morning Riddell, we're on mumble
[08:25] <jelmer> maxb: maybe a hook?
[08:27] <jam> maxb: do you happen to have bzr.dev 6033 ?
[08:28] <jam> I just added a hook when looking at lp:ubuntu/* branches
[08:28] <jam> to see if they are up to date
[08:28] <jam> (bug #609187)
[08:28] <jam> but it shouldn't trigger for things that don't look like "ubuntu" or "debian" branches hosted on Launchpad.
[08:31] <maxb> jam: hmmm...
[08:31] <maxb> yes, I do
[08:32] <jam> maxb: I'm working with the lp guys to figure out why the query dropped from 150ms last week to 900ms this week. Seems to be an SSL handshake issue.
[08:34] <maxb> jam: I've just noticed you've got an assumption about the ubuntu-branches team in that code - that's not valid, not all package branches are ~ubuntu-branche
[08:34] <maxb> s
[08:39] <maxb> Hmm, nope, that mysterious http exception can't be from the new stuff, because that uses urllib2, and the exception was a httplib2 one
[08:39]  * maxb shrugs and heads afk
[08:45] <jam> maxb: you could pastebin the traceback if you have one
[08:51] <poolie> jelmer: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html
[09:27] <Riddell> vila: ready when you are
[09:28] <vila> Riddell: ok
[09:39] <vila> poolie: just checked pending reviews for udd, bzr-builddeb and bzr-builder, all empty, did you have another one in mind ?
[09:40] <poolie> nup, if that's all clear that's fine
[09:40] <poolie> i reviewed some from max and saw some others, but i didn't check the page during the call
[09:40] <poolie> could someone help https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/165193 ?
[09:47] <Riddell> poolie: looking
[09:50] <poolie> thanks
[09:51] <poolie> Riddell: the user experiencing it is in #launchpad
[09:58] <jelmer> Riddell: I think I know what the problem is, please let me know if I should follow up
[09:58] <poolie> ok, good night
[09:58] <jelmer> have a nice evening poolie
[09:58] <poolie> thanks
[09:58] <poolie> i think the udd identity switch is now complete\
[09:59] <poolie> we'll see
[09:59] <Riddell> jelmer: go ahead if you want, I'm doing patch pilot now with vila
[09:59] <jelmer> Riddell: will do, thanks
[09:59] <vila> poolie: \o/
[09:59] <vila> poolie: good evening
[10:03] <maxb> jam: No traceback, just a HTTP 400 response. It's quite annoying. I get the same in UDD importer local tests - yet everything still seems to work!
[10:03] <poolie> hi maxb
[10:04] <maxb> Hello
[10:04] <maxb> I guess I need to get httplib2 to log all requests or something

[11:34] <marvin2> Hi, I have a local version of the branch lp:original-code; I need the some specific changes made to a fork of that branch located at bzr branch lp:forked-code. What is the most efficient way for me to incorporate those specific changes to my local bzr repo?
[11:48] <jelmer> hi marvin2
[11:48] <jelmer> marvin2: "bzr merge lp:forked-code"
[11:50] <jelmer> Riddell: thanks for the review
[12:02] <marvin2> jelmer: I need only specific changes from lp:forked-code
[12:02] <jelmer> marvin2: after the merge you should be able to revert the changes you don't need
[12:03] <marvin2> jelmer: OK, was looking for a more efficient way.
[12:03] <jelmer> marvin2: alternatively, you can generate the diff between the two branches and edit that to contain the changes you need
[12:04] <marvin2> jelmer: Exactly -> to generate a diff between the two branches, I'd have to have two separate repos on my local system - one for lp:original-code and one for lp:forked-code - is that correct?
[12:05] <jelmer> marvin2: not necessarily, you can diff against a remote branch
[12:05] <jelmer> bzr diff --new=lp:forked-code I think
[12:06] <marvin2> jelmer: That becomes painful when lp:original-code is several revisions ahead of lp:forked-code
[12:06] <jelmer> marvin2: why does that become painful?
[12:07] <marvin2> jelmer: lp:forked-code is a fork to fix a bug, but hasn't been merged into lp:original-code yet. I'd like to manually bring it in to my local fork of lp:original-code.
[12:07] <jelmer> marvin2: That's what "bzr merge" does; maybe I don't understand the full use case?
[12:08] <marvin2> lp:original-code is at revno 10; lp:forked-code forks and adds bugfixes to it, and stagnates. Meanwhile lp:original-code keeps updating without incorporating lp:forked-code's fix.
[12:09] <marvin2> jelmer: I'd like to keep up to date with lp:original-code, while manually merging in the fix from lp:forked-code
[12:09] <marvin2> jelmer: Keep in mind original-code is "huge".
[12:10] <jelmer> marvin2: I don't see how merge is inappropriate here
[12:11] <marvin2> jelmer: lp:forked-code still contains code that has been updated by lp:original-code.
[12:11] <marvin2> jelmer: I don't want to lose the changes made in lp:original-code.
[12:12] <marvin2> jelmer: I hope I make sense.
[12:13] <jelmer> marvin2: Sorry, I don't think I follow
[12:13] <jelmer> marvin2: a merge of lp:forked-code won't overwrite changes made in lp:original-code
[12:14] <jelmer> it'll try to merge the changes and create conflicts if there were any
[12:15] <marvin2> jelmer: There'd be a lot of conflicts as lp:forked-code stays at revno 11, while lp:original-code move ahead to, let's say, 25...
[12:16] <marvin2> jelmer: I'd like to figure out the most efficient way of dealing with this. I don't want to go around resolving 100s of conflicts I expect would show up. I just need the diff for a specific subset of files.
[12:16] <jelmer> marvin2: why would there be a lot of conflicts? Is lp:forked-code changing the same chunks of code
[12:16] <jelmer> ?
[12:16] <jelmer> marvin2: generating a diff for forked-code and applying that would generate the same number of conflicts as merge, if not more AFAIU
[12:17] <marvin2> jelmer: I think I'm wasting your time here. Let me get back to you with a proper example. Thanks for the help!
[12:17] <marvin2> jelmer: I won't be generating a diff for the whole tree - just a subset of the files.
[12:18] <jelmer> marvin2: but have you changed any of the other files in lp:forked-code?
[12:18] <marvin2> jelmer: No...
[12:18] <jelmer> marvin2: then there shouldn't be any risk of getting conflicts in them
[12:19] <marvin2> jelmer: Oh...
[12:19] <jelmer> marvin2: perhaps it's worth giving merge a try? As long as you don't commit, you can revert it without it ending up in your history.
[12:20] <marvin2> jelmer: Yeah, I'll try that. Thanks!
[12:34] <marvin2> jelmer: Given lp:original-code and lp:forked-code, how do I figure out the revno in which forked-code was forked from original-code?
[12:39] <jam> marvin2: bzr log -r ancestor:lp:original-code -d lp:forked-code
[12:39] <jam> though that may give a different answer if forked-code has then merged original-code again
[12:40] <marvin2> jam: Great, thanks!
[12:40] <jelmer> marvin2: there shouldn't be a need to specify a revision(if I understand your use case)
[12:40] <marvin2> jelmer: Pure for academic purposes.
[12:40] <marvin2> *Purely
[12:53] <marvin2> jam: Complains about "-d"
[13:00] <jelmer> marvin2: the -d isn't necessary
[13:03] <vila> marvin2: 'bzr qlog original forked' (qlog is provided by the qbzr plugin) is another way to look at it
[13:08] <marvin2> jelmer, vila: Thanks again.
[13:48] <vila> jam: ping, did you get my pm ?
[14:09] <jam> vila: just got back to my desk
[21:12] <lifeless> jam: bug 813017 looks fun
