[08:35] <OchoZero9> anyone has an idea on how i can install a 1gb> OS
[08:35] <Hafaisy> does it use much ram and graphics ?
[08:35] <Ileden> XVampireX: "Dancing Monkeys". Open source, but apparently provided compiled only for windows.
[08:35] <Gumby> hi all.  is it possible to get the pidgin icon back into the systray area in 11.04?  I've read a bunch of howtos including using dconf-editor but I have yet to get an system tray icon.  I installed skype and it's icon works just fine.
[08:35] <red2kic> Hafaisy: Dunno.
[08:36] <Hafaisy> ok.
[08:36] <Ileden> robertzaccour: "test it out in a live session" ?
[08:36] <OchoZero9> lleden you can compile it for whatever you need
[08:36] <Ileden> robertzaccour: and the software depends on the pvr model.
[08:36] <Gumby> robertzaccour, in my opinion mythtv, but it may be a bit to large to run on a livecd
[08:36] <robertzaccour> Ileden: live cd/usb
[08:36] <XVampireX> mythbuntu
[08:36] <robertzaccour> Gumby: I have 4GB RAM
[08:37] <XVampireX> !mythbuntu
[08:37] <OchoZero9> my laptp doesn't have  a CD drive.
[08:37] <awilkins> Where do the Ubuntu kernel devs hang on IRC (if they do)?
[08:37] <robertzaccour> OchoZero9: netbook?
[08:37] <OchoZero9> tablet
[08:38] <Gumby> robertzaccour, yes, but if you are recording HD the recording will eat up that ram pretty darn quick.  you'd be best to mount a hard drive partition and then make sure you allow write access to the user that is running mythtv
[08:38] <Hafaisy> Any FPS game for ubuntu ? i want the sudden attack alike :)
[08:38] <robertzaccour> Gumby: I just want to see if it displays the video. If so I'm pretty sure recording won't be an issue
[08:39] <Ileden> robertzaccour: oh, you mean not to connect to the pvr's software from ubuntu, but to use linux directly on it? then it's MythTV and such.
[08:39] <Gumby> robertzaccour, if you want to just display the video look into something like tvtime.
[08:39] <red2kic> Hafaisy: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/11.04
[08:39] <OchoZero9> it's an x64 tablet.
[08:39] <Gumby> but tvtime isnt a pvr, its just a frontend for your tuner input
[08:39] <red2kic> Hafaisy: Warsaw. :P
[08:39] <red2kic> Hafaisy: I generally stick it with consoles for my gamings.
[08:39] <Gumby> robertzaccour, what tuner do you have?
[08:39] <robertzaccour> Gumby: I want to record but for the live session I just want to make sure it works first
[08:40] <robertzaccour> Gumby: Hauppauge 49001 LF
[08:40] <karthick87> Ileden: How do i change it ?
[08:40]  * vibhav fell in love with EMACS
[08:40] <leeg_> hello guys
[08:41] <Gumby> robertzaccour, that is an hdpvr correct?
[08:41] <Ileden> karthick87: where do you need it to be changed?
[08:41] <robertzaccour> Gumby: yes
[08:41] <karthick87> Ileden: The time format ?
[08:41] <Gumby> robertzaccour, if that is the case then it is supported by mythtv
[08:41] <red2kic> vibhav: I wonder if EMACS have a game built-in? (Not familiar to Emacs but I know it can IRC!)
[08:42] <robertzaccour> Gumby: great thanks :) does mythtv auto detect devices dummy proof style or would I need to know its location?
[08:42] <vibhav> red2kic emacs can view Start wars
[08:42] <robertzaccour> I'm a dummy about that kinda stuff :(
[08:42] <Ileden> I installed xubuntu-desktop and played around with xfce appearance settings. Now appearance on Gnome has gone back to '90s style. Weirdly enough, changing Apperance setting from Gnome's menu only affect the window decorations, not the controls. However, the apperance dialog itself, and any of it's subdialogs (like customize) do take the full change. Also, when Gnome is loading, the correct apperance flashes on the screen for a sec.
[08:42] <Ileden> Screenshot of the problem: http://ileden.kapsi.fi/dist/xubuntu-gnome-apperance-conflict.png How do I fix this?
[08:43] <OchoZero9> what's the best distro for a multitouch screen?
[08:43] <Gumby> robertzaccour, mythtv's setup can be quite a learning curve unfortunately.  your best bet is to ask in #mythtv-users just be polite, there is a wealth of knowledge there
[08:43] <orbital_> Anyone available to help out an 11.04 user with a Broadcom wireless card issue?
[08:43] <robertzaccour> Gumby: oh ok thanks
[08:44] <Gumby> robertzaccour, also, read this first http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HD-PVR
[08:44] <Gumby> a little research beforehand can go a long long way
[08:44] <red2kic> Ileden: I wonder if there are something like gtkrc in your home directory. Not that I know the solution -- but it's just a possible.
[08:44] <red2kic> possibility*
[08:44] <red2kic> Ileden: Also, try lxappearance*something. It might fix it.
[08:45] <Gumby> robertzaccour, this will be the part related to mythtv directly, "Steps to Add the HD-PVR as a Capture Device in MythTV (0.22 or later)"
[08:45] <Gumby> I assume Ubuntu already has the proper driver though so you can most likely skip the compiling the driver part
[08:46] <Ileden> red2kic: no gtkrc.
[08:46] <semitones> is powertop only supposed to be run when idle
[08:48] <Ileden> red2kic: lxappearance does affect everything! what is it exactly?
[08:48] <red2kic> Ileden: LXDE Appearance Settings. :P
[08:49] <red2kic> !info lxappearance | Ileden
[08:50] <Ileden> red2kic: :) but that really doesn't make me understand how come it affect the theme, and not gnome's appearace settings.
[08:51] <Gumby> does anyone know if there is a way to get hightlight to copy and double mouse click to paste working in 11.04?
[08:51] <Gumby> thats my most beloved linux feature and its gone :(
[08:51] <Madpilot> Gumby, you mean highlight-and-centre-click?
[08:52] <karthick87> USB devices are not getting connected in my system. Can anyone help me pls ?
[08:52] <Kevin_Flynn> Network Manager says I'm connected to wireless internet.  But, I cannot ping.  "network unreachable.'  Or reach a website while "right on top of' router.  xubuntu 10.10.
[08:53] <Gumby> Madpilot, yes, I guess that is correct. Since I dont have a middle mouse I emulate via left and right mouse click
[08:53] <Gumby> perhaps it is just my center clicking that is not working
[08:53] <jsnmtth> Anybody using X-Chat?
[08:53] <Gumby> jsnmtth, is there anything else?  hehe
[08:53] <Ileden> I have installed xubuntu-desktop, and copied the list of packets that got installed with it.   But, I cannot ping.  "network unreachable.'  Or reach a website while "right on top of' router.  xubuntu 10.10.
[08:56] <jsnmtth> Considering the channel I'm assuming you use Ubuntu, which version?
[08:57] <Gumby> 11.04
[08:57] <Gumby> anyhow, did you find the area I am talking about?
[08:57] <jsnmtth> Yeah
[08:57] <Ileden> ah, well, maybe not channel "emergency" really. Sorry for all ops for mistriggering that for just a channel nuisance, really.
[08:57] <Gumby> cool, select the network.. probably freenode
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> Gumby: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=404441
[08:57] <jsnmtth> It isn't configured to connect me here ...
[08:57] <Flannel> Ileden: Good enough.
[08:58] <Gumby> jsnmtth, it might be another network.. try "ubuntu servers"
[08:58] <jsnmtth> What is odd is that it doesn't connect me to the channels I've autocofigured.
[08:58] <jsnmtth> ohh ... that is possible
[08:58] <nraic> In Ubuntu 11.04 where do minimised windows go? Mine seem to disappear. I can only see them when alt-tabbing.
[08:58] <jsnmtth> btw, Do you like Unity?
[08:58] <Gumby> did you set the network to auto connect on startup as well?
[08:58] <Gumby> jsnmtth, I just installed tonight...  so far I dont mind it a lot.  I added an oldschool panel at the bottom for open applications
[08:58] <jsnmtth> It came up and then disappeared
[08:59] <jsnmtth> I played with it a little in VirtualBox, and didn't really like it.
[08:59] <Gumby> jsnmtth, kinda annoyed by pidgin system tray not working as well
[08:59] <Gumby> its more "macish"
[09:00] <jsnmtth> It is funny, I disliked Windows 95+ for being macish, and GNU/Linux is doing the same thing.
[09:00] <Gumby> put the unity launcher on the bottom and its darn close to using a mac desktop heh
[09:01] <nraic> Does anyone else minimised windows in 11.04 disappear? and can only be reopened using alt-tab.
[09:01] <jsnmtth> It seems to me that it takes more clicks to do anything ... but I've only messed around with it for a few minutes
[09:01] <jsnmtth> Gumby, yes the Ubuntu Network was configured to auto-connect me to this channel
[09:01] <Kevin_Flynn> Network Manager says I'm connected to wireless internet.  But, I cannot ping.  "network unreachable.'  Or reach a website while "right on top of' router.  xubuntu 10.10.

[09:07] <OmiKoRn> hi, is there something like a security newsletter?
[09:08] <kostodo> If i download a file from the internet and save it on my computer, will it maintain its original file permissions that the creator set?
[09:10] <Soothsayer> any useful tools for dual monitor with Ubuntu 11 (with unity) ?
[09:11] <ryankask> whenever Google Chrome loses focus, the window brightens. 1) does anyone else notice this? 2) How can I make it stop?
[09:12] <Ileden> ryankask: 1) yup, noticed it, and I hate it too. 2) no idea.
[09:13] <ryankask> Ileden: is this from a new update or has it been this way all along (I just switched to a huge monitor)
[09:14] <Ileden> ryankask: I remeber it being there quite a long time.
[09:14] <ryankask> Ileden: okay thanks
[09:14] <Ileden> ryankask: it'd trying to make the window look "inactive" but fails miserably :)
[09:14] <Soothsayer> asd
[09:14] <dromar> Hi, I need some help with termcaps... any way to get the cursor position on the terminal ?
[09:15] <Ileden> ryankask: hey, I have an idea on how to fix it... maybe using an alternative theme would have a different effect.
[09:16] <ryankask> Ileden: unfortunately not having any effect
[09:16] <Ileden> ryankask: now that i think of it, heh, I'm actually using an alternative theme :) so could be a recent change for the classic theme :D
[09:19] <ryankask> Ileden: also happens in firefox... are you using natty?
[09:19] <webb> Permission denied (publickey) when trying remote portforward ssh tunnel, any pointers?
[09:19] <Ileden> ryankask: yes, but I'm using ubuntu classic. Firefox doesn't do it on my system.
[09:20] <Kevin_Flynn> Network Manager says I'm connected to wireless internet.  But, I cannot ping.  "network unreachable.'  Or reach a website while "right on top of' router.  xubuntu 10.10.
[09:21] <ryankask> Ileden: it also only happens when a window with a light background loses focus to a window with a dark background... maybe our eyes are playing tricks?
[09:21] <ryankask> i.e. chrome to terminal or emacs w/ black background
[09:22] <ryankask> Ileden: Chrome's brightness changes when Xchat loses focus to emacs or the terminal so i think it has to do with some auto contrast settings or seomthing
[09:23] <Kevin_Flynn> HOW do I close network manager?
[09:23] <Dynetrax> I love Ubuntu Linux
[09:23] <Ileden> ryankask: yeah, must be. I don't see any such effect.
[09:23] <Dynetrax> I Do Not Love Unity
[09:24] <Ileden> ryankask: but chrome does brighten quite a bit when it loses focus, on all themes.
[09:25] <Ileden> Dynetrax: But Ubuntu Linux Love Unity. So that's a nice triangle drama you have going on there... it'd be a beautiful polyamorous relationship otherwise. :(
[09:25] <Kevin_Flynn> HOW do I close network manager?
[09:25] <Dynetrax> Unity is a cool concept, it was just prematurely born imo
[09:25] <Ileden> Dynetrax: I'm not sure it really loves unity yet, though. Maybe it old has a crush on it so far. :)
[09:26] <Kevin_Flynn> Or turn it off so I could try wicd
[09:26] <Ileden> (old = just. weird typo)
[09:27] <Dynetrax> I have a thing for window maker still :P

[09:31] <hrezaei> Dynetrax: can you help me?
[09:32] <Dynetrax> you probably have to add the ubuntu partition manually to your grub menu

[09:36] <Schoentoon> Hello, I've an ubuntu system which is pretty much the cd image copied to the hard drive and I'm trying to edit something in /etc/sudoers, but everytime I reboot the computer ubuntu add some new lines to it which cause my changes to not work. Are there any init script which do this or something like that?
[09:36] <wdx> it's so many people in here
[09:37] <mycable> Schoentoon:you've got to edit it with visudo
[09:38] <Schoentoon> mycable: I did, in fact the changes work. But like I said, it's pretty much a live cd and the only problem is that it adds extra lines after a reboot.

[09:39] <ar__> Schoentoon: I've got no answer for that

[09:39] <Ileden> Hi! I'm having some weird performance issues - the window draw operations seem to take way too much time, for example when switching workspace, even with three windows the redraw is clearly visible. Dialog boxes also take strangely long to appear.
[09:40] <Ileden> The issue appears both on xfce and gnome, and changing between fglrx and radeon drivers doesn't cause any difference. Any help on this issue is appreciated. I'm using Radeon HD 3650 (agp) on Ubuntu 11.04, people on #radeon haven't been able to help. Could this be something other than a display driver issue?
[09:40] <RxDx> i wanna windows and keep just ubuntu and debian.. wanna install windows7 on a virtual machine
[09:40] <Schoentoon> ar__: Too bad, thanks though.
[09:40] <Dynetrax> Ileden are you using compiz?
[09:41] <Ileden> Dynetrax: happens both with compiz and without.
[09:41] <Dynetrax> oh weird
[09:41] <Dynetrax> i had that problem but i just turned off sync to vblank option
[09:41] <ar__> I've got a problem with the configuration of my network devices. If I assign an ip to my network-device while the link is up, everything is ok. If I unplug the cable, or the link is broken, the configuration of the device gets lost
[09:41] <Ileden> Dynetrax: yeah. I'm guessing it's a problem with radeon drivers, os I guess I'll have to switch cards.
[09:41] <Ileden> Dynetrax: "turned off sync to vblank option" ?
[09:42] <Dynetrax> yeah in the Compiz config settings manager
[09:42] <Dynetrax> in the display settings
[09:43] <Dynetrax> i turned off sync to vblank
[09:43] <Dynetrax> and set the refresh rate to the spec on my monitor

[10:00] <DevilSOlution> try sudo apt-get update -f or upgrade i forget, thats does something for broken packages
[10:00] <Soothsayer> dcorking, oh, Ctrl + H did the trick
[10:00] <Soothsayer> I'm not sure why it's treated as a hidden file
[10:00] <br4dock3r> hi
[10:00] <DevilSOlution> hi
[10:00] <dcorking> Soothsayer, the dot prefix makes it 'hidden'

[10:02] <liminal> okay.. thanks for all your help (shame about unity)
[10:02] <Kegster> i think aslong as you set it to classic it sticks, atleast it has for me
[10:02] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, thanks - I think -f would force it, but I am trying to run cdromupgrade, so I am not sure if forcing the upgrades would achieve what I want
[10:02] <liminal> are there any themes or customisations to make unity.. better yet?
[10:02] <mathews> liminal: once u select it then it will be the default untill u change it again

[10:05] <dcorking> ... so I just want to figure out what the held broken packages are - so I can figure out if I need to drill down deeper
[10:05] <mathews> liminal: find it http://omgubuntu.co.uk/natty/#launcher
[10:05] <mesaber> I have downloaded mysql and extracted the .tar file and it gave me 6 .rpm files. how do i install it please?
[10:05] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, no i didnt know that ive only had ununtu a week but when i upgraded to natty the only problem i had was wit that python file, you actually tried upgrading yet? i dont see the issue?
[10:05] <DevilSOlution> when you apt-get upgrade it will tell youwhats broken i think?
[10:05] <DevilSOlution> i had some command that told me hold up
[10:06] <DevilSOlution> do you know you have broken packages?
[10:07] <DevilSOlution> it may be a dkpg command
[10:07] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, ok - the error message tells me I have broken packages - but I don't know which ones - I guess there is an aptitude or apt or dpkg command that will list them
[10:07] <mesaber> I have downloaded mysql and extracted the .tar file and it gave me 6 .rpm files. how do i install it please?
[10:07] <mathews> to fix brocken packages type "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in terminal.Or apt-get install -f
[10:07] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, thanks for helpful suggestions - I will ask on a debian channel
[10:08] <YankDownUnder> mesaber, Um...why didn't you just install MySQL thru the package manager mate?
[10:08] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, mathew just said it, its hte sudo dpkg --configure -a
[10:08] <dcorking> mathews, thanks!  what does the first command do
[10:08] <mathews> !fix brocken packages
[10:09] <mesaber> YanKDownUnder, i wanna get my hands dirty with the code, you know :)
[10:09] <DevilSOlution> can someone help me? maybe one-on-one?
[10:09] <dcorking> mathews, all of them?
[10:09] <mathews> dcorking: only one
[10:09] <DevilSOlution> i need to know how to map/mount/bind my temp file + home folder to a new disk drive
[10:09] <DevilSOlution> ive already given myself permission
[10:10] <YankDownUnder> mesaber, Right oh... well, you might consider just downloading the TAR/GZIP version instead - otherwise, you'll have to convert the RPM's to DEB's...
[10:10] <dcorking> mathews, thanks  - then I need to know the name of the package that is broken - but the error message from the upgrade script doesn't tell me - as far as I can see
[10:10] <mesaber> YanKDownUnder, how do i convert them please?
[10:10] <mathews> dcorking: I dont know more about it
[10:11] <eoss> hello, when i dl tar files where should i put them, in my home folder? also, how do i get the commands to start them from shell?

[10:12] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, what part of mount didn't work?
[10:12] <SuperLag> but that's not happening
[10:12] <mesaber> ok, thanks YankDownUner,arand,ubottu
[10:12] <arand> eoss: You do not "start" tar archives, you unarchive them.. Which can be done via the "tar" command, read "man tar"
[10:12] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, i havent tried mounting yet i was wondering the command and syntax
[10:13] <SuperLag> rsync -avz --delete sourcedir/* destdir/.
[10:13] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, i dont like messing my system up ;)
[10:13] <SuperLag> but if I delete from sourcedir, they're not getting deleted from the destination :/
[10:13] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, have you put filesystem(s) on the new drive yet?
[10:13] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, i know one of my temp files are in a the root folder so i wanted to be sure
[10:13] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, yes i have
[10:14] <dcorking> ok - do you know the device names of the new empty filesystems yet ?
[10:14] <DevilSOlution> i had to do a chown on the mount in /media, but im not sure how to mount files to the new drive
[10:14] <DevilSOlution> like as in its device name?
[10:15] <DevilSOlution> im confused, it has 1 folder on the new device
[10:15] <DevilSOlution> and i have its name yes
[10:15] <DevilSOlution> i know what folder i want to mount to it also
[10:15] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, don't take this the wrong way  - I think you need to read a tutorial about mount ...
[10:16] <DevilSOlution> okay np
[10:16] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, as you seem to be doing this backwards.
[10:16] <DevilSOlution> ty
[10:16] <DevilSOlution> what do you mean?
[10:16] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, all ive done so far is given myself permission to the new drive
[10:17] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, all im asking is for the syntax of the mount command
[10:17] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, well you want to end up mounting a mount point (folder) to a filesystem - not the other way round
[10:17] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, man mount :)
[10:17] <DevilSOlution> lol okay, i hate man files but ill do it
[10:17] <dcorking> if you have the new drive in /media then it is already mounted
[10:18] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, then avoid the man page
[10:18] <dcorking> anyone suggest a good tutorial on mount?
[10:18] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, alright what im saying is my drive is mounted yes but i want to mount certain files and folder to that device
[10:19] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, i presumed the device mounted in media wouldnt work without it being mounted as its a secondary HD
[10:19] <tonkafu> hi
[10:19] <Kegster> hi
[10:19] <tonkafu> i am having an issue with samba shares
[10:19] <conighion_> hallo.. i am new.. i just installed ubuntu 11.04 but my soundcard isn't working. Do you know what i should do?
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> tonkafu: can you give details please
[10:19] <tonkafu> i set it up somehow
[10:20] <DevilSOlution> conighion_, you checked sound isnt muted in the top right hand corner? stupid question i know ;)
[10:20] <tonkafu> and can access the shares between my laptop and my pc
[10:20] <tonkafu> but it is very slow
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> conighion_: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[10:20] <mathews> mount  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount
[10:20] <paul_> can anyone help me figure out the command that makes my volume tray applet start?
[10:20] <mathews> dcorking: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount
[10:21] <MethedMan> is there a program like firemath but for latex in order to insert equations into libreoffice or ooffice?
[10:21] <conighion_> DevilSOlution i did everything described in the troubleshooter, but nothing worked
[10:21] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: got you laptop connected wireless?
[10:21] <tonkafu> yes
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> tonkafu: If you run:  gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf   you can play with the socket options = TCP_NODELAY line to make it nippier
[10:22] <nikotinholic> can anyone help me to configure iodbc
[10:22] <tonkafu> let me try
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> conighion_: if you can run the script and upload to the alsa server, it will make a red url, what is the url?
[10:22] <conighion_> ActionParsnip i run it in the terminal and got this http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5ae5dbeef72cc4accd3ae83ef998b57ce136aa9c
[10:23] <mathews> conighion_: run the "additional drivers from the system"
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> conighion_: is it a laptop?
[10:24] <conighion_> no desktop
[10:24] <mathews> conighion_: run the "additional drivers" and see any driver need to be installed for ur sound card
[10:24] <shibuya109> Which log do I need to check to find out why my 10.04 server keeps crashing? I don't see anything suspicious in syslog
[10:24] <conighion_> additional drivers from the system... only for vga
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> conighion_: if you run: alsamixer     are all the levels cranked and unmuted? are the speakers turned on, powered and turned up?
[10:25] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, the problem with your question is that linux can only mount one mount point to one filesystem at a time - so you need to read more about mount and be really clear about what directories you want to be physically where on your system  - the tutorial that mathews suggested should help - then come back to IRC for more specific advice
[10:25] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, did you get my pm?
[10:27] <conighion_> ActionParsnip_: I have logitec z5500... conected to my soundcard via optical.. Alsamixer has S.PDIF which is not muted but 00 and i cannot change it
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> conighion_: ahh, not sure about optical mate. That's a whole extra headache
[10:28] <fallingdutch> hello I have problems installing Ubuntu 11.04 using alternate i386 CD: it runs fine until setting up apt - then it asks me to change media. according to the integrated check there are no defects on the CD. any ideas?
[10:28] <conighion_> thanks anyway
[10:28] <JoeA1> hi I have a question regarding PAE, if I have 8GB memory and ubuntu 32bit is it possible to run 5 usermode processes each with 1GB memory?
[10:29] <pussy_like> possibly
[10:29] <DevilSOlution> sure
[10:30] <prashant_123456> fallingdutch, check hdd for defects
[10:30] <mathews> !alternate cd
[10:30] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, type mount and post only the line that contains /media
[10:31] <fallingdutch> the HDD is fine @prashant_123456
[10:31] <prashant_123456> fallingdutch, check hdd for bad sectors
[10:31] <tonkafu> ActionParsnip: its still bein painfully slow
[10:32] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, /dev/sdb1 on /media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)
[10:32] <DevilSOlution> that one?
[10:32] <DevilSOlution> i have a usb too but we dont tht im sure
[10:32] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, that must be the one then
[10:32] <DevilSOlution> yup, thats my mounted HD
[10:33] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, i want to mount my /home/keg directory too it and some temp files thts in var/cache/apt or sth, but i can google to find where my temps are
[10:33] <tonkafu> Luci4n0:  yes i am using wireless to connect
[10:34] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: have you tried it wired? and is your pc connected to the same router?
[10:35] <dcorking> do you mean you want to __move__ your whole /home/keg directory there, or just have it as a subdirectory of keg/ ?
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> tonkafu: try a few options, there are lots of switches there. You need to restart the smbd service after the change to apply settings
[10:35] <tonkafu> yes it is connected to the same router and i haven't tried it wired
[10:35] <tonkafu> i did restart the service
[10:35] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, i want to do something that makes all my files go to my new drive that are stored in /home/username
[10:36] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, my sda has run out of space
[10:37] <josmala> I have some questions about this new ubuntu UI: Is there a way to configure that in new UI I could keep the menu with the window when the application is not in fullscreen mode?
[10:37] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, all files like downlaods and my temp files that get downloaded and used alot need to be stored on my new device
[10:37] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: both wired to the same router might make a lot of difference, depending on your current wireless speed.
[10:37] <SoulRaven> hi, please help me with a problem
[10:37] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, are you using irc from the machine in question?
[10:37] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, yes
[10:37] <SoulRaven> i can't set the permision on a usb modem
[10:38] <SoulRaven> after restart that permisson is restarted to default
[10:38] <SoulRaven> i use chmod a+rw /dev/ttyUSB1
[10:38] <tonkafu> Luci4n0:  i used the same setup till a couple of says ago in kubuntu 10.01 lts it worked fine till then
[10:38] <SoulRaven> but after restart that permision is missing
[10:38] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, when you copy your files over, you will lose your latest irc logs and settings - and any other work you have open
[10:38] <DevilSOlution> chown username device
[10:39] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, that shouldnt be an issue
[10:39] <DevilSOlution> SoulRaven, i think you have to change the owner not modify
[10:39] <DevilSOlution> SoulRaven, try chown command
[10:39] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: that is weird.
[10:40] <mithran> if i use tsclient to take remote desktop of another ubuntu machine, how do i come out of full screen mode?
[10:40] <tonkafu> Luci4n0: it is taking quite a while longer to load files and folders now. it takes upto a minute to open a movie file for instance
[10:40] <dcorking> SoulRaven, I think the device node is created automatically, so chown and chmod won't fix it permanently - unfortunately I don't know / can't remember what will
[10:40] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, i have irssi and xchat and have saved only 1 log that matters, but i need to clear up some space
[10:41] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: exact same setup, you just upgraded your kubuntu?!
[10:41] <tonkafu> Luci4n0: there used to be a small lag for the large files before but never this much
[10:41] <SoulRaven> dcorking: and what is the solution? any ideea?
[10:41] <tonkafu> Luci4n0:   no fresh install on a different hdd
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> mithran: Ctrl+Alt+Enter possibly?
[10:41] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, i have ubuntu on wubi and have 50gb free on the HD but gpart wont allow me to increase the size of ubuntu's part so i have had to install a new drive
[10:41] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, make sure you have a backup of all important stuff - it is _very_ easy to blow stuff away when copying and moving files or making filesystems
[10:41] <bkalinga> how to open .qch/.chm files in Ubuntu
[10:41] <mithran> ActionParsnip, thats not working :(
[10:41] <tonkafu> Luci4n0:  only i forgot to save my smb.conf and had to set it up again
[10:42] <bazhang> bkalinga, chmsee
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> mithran: http://alinconstantin.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-exit-full-screen-mode-for.html
[10:42] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, okay the only thing that matters to me is on the new drive, about 3gb of wallpapers, but i have no space to backup anyway so ill risk it, i just cant risk breaking ubuntu
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> mithran: if you use desktop effects then you may need extra steps outlined there
[10:43] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, you can usually increase size of partitions as long as they are not in use - for example when using a Live CD - did you try that? (again - do a backup first)
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> mithran: I don't use this by the way, all I am doing is websearching...
[10:43] <SoulRaven> i have changed the chown to another user, but after restart the owner is restarted to default
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> mithran: seems to be a known bug too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rdesktop/+bug/153995
[10:43] <dcorking> you will defintely lose everything on the new drive - at least with the simpler and most efficient solutions
[10:44] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, i dont have a live disk handy, i installed using wubi off a usb drive on xp, now xp has died totally but ubuntu still has a 9gb file it uses from xp so i cant delte and i cant modify the partition because its ntfs and ubuntu is in their
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> mithran: have you not seen this stuff?
[10:44] <vietred> well, I've just install nvidia-current to make dual screen works, but I can't reconfig X using nvidia-xconfig since there are only nvidia-detector and nvidia-settings, any idea?
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> mithran: or is my browser just better :D
[10:44] <josmala> The other question is that: Is there a reasonable way of having two different sets of apps open in the new UI? (Tho users sharing a pc, want to keep apps running on background when otherone is using it)
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> vietred: how did you install the driver?
[10:44] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, i just wanna try mount these files to my new drive, that keeps me happy for now
[10:44] <SoulRaven> i have changed the chown to another user, but after restart the owner is restarted to default
[10:44] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: check this out => http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?action=printpage;topic=3116588.0
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> SoulRaven: then add the chown in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line
[10:45] <DevilSOlution> SoulRaven, im sorry i dont know then
[10:45] <vietred> ActionParsnip: I used the command: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[10:45] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, do you have a backup of your xp files? that is in danger too - I can't guarantee that following irc ideas or tutorials will keep it safe
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> vietred: cool, then it should have install nvidia-settings
[10:46] <mithran> ActionParsnip, hmm, was doing a lot of google searches to get the vncserver working, got a little lazy, + i just had lunch so...:)
[10:46] <mithran> ActionParsnip, thanks checking the links out
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> mithran: no problem, what activites do you do on the remote system?
[10:46] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, woste case scenario i have an xp disk and key and i can start fro mthe beggining, the xp files are already dead but the partition needs to stay, i thought were only moving my /home/keg folder and var/cache/apt folfer
[10:46] <Momoka> i haven't sound in my ubuntu, how do?
[10:46] <vietred> ActionParsnip: yes, when I use nvidia-settings, it tell me to use the driver by using nvidia-xconfig as root
[10:46] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: not really a solution, but there just seems to be a samba issue in kubuntu 11.04
[10:47] <mithran> running IO, trying to reproduce a data coruption issue
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> vietred: then run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig
[10:47] <enav> some knows how to install ANT on Eclipse Helios here????
[10:47] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, i feel like getting rid of xp anyway but for now this seemed easier than starting from scratch
[10:47] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: maybe have a look around on the kubuntu forums, to check if anyone found a solution.
[10:47] <vietred> ActionParsnip: I can't :( there is nothing like that
[10:48] <vietred> ActionParsnip: sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found
[10:48] <tonkafu> Luci4n0:  i am on ubuntu 11.04
[10:48] <tonkafu> i used to be on kubuntu
[10:48] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, i guess moving the folder to my new drive is better than mounting then?#
[10:48] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, ok - I think a symlink might suit you better - as otherwise I would suggest repartitioning your new drive with two filesystems - one for /home/keg and the other for /var
[10:49] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, either way you need to copy everything from your home folder to wherever you want the new home to be
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> vietred: sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig    maybe
[10:50] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, whats symlink? i literally just want my new drive to be the home of these 2 directories, i can re-partition my new drive again if i need but the temp file will be fairly small anyway
[10:50] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: ok
[10:50] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: give me a sec
[10:50] <dan__> helo, is there a way to recover a deleted file from an ext4 filesystem? if yes please provide some details on how to do that...
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> dan__: use your backups
[10:50] <vietred> ActionParsnip: I tried that, but failed, there is no package named nvidia-xconfig
[10:51] <annihilate> hi
[10:51] <dan__> ActionParsnip: thanks for the tip but I mean recovering files deleted from a filesystem and not restoring them
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> vietred: I just ran: dpkg -S nvidia-xconfig and got: nvidia-173: /usr/lib/nvidia-173/bin/nvidia-xconfig
[10:51] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: reading same slow samba posts on ubuntu forums .. let me check further.
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> dan__: then you can use scalpel or foremost, you should really look into backups
[10:53] <dcorking> dan__ first - stop using the filesystem immediately - then make an image of it - with dd or similar - then use a forensics program like autopsy
[10:53] <Soothsayer> I've installed apache and I'm storing my web files in a directory under /home/myuser/projects/www/
[10:53] <Soothsayer> what should I be doing on the permissions part?
[10:54] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, a symlink is a kind of shortcut that the machine can follow
[10:54] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, so im copying my home/username directory to my new drive right?
[10:54] <dan__> dcorking: mm.. looks like a lot of work :( i just want to restore a single file from my /root filesystem on laptop.. in past i used recovery programs under windows and they were recovered quickly.. is there a similar tool under linux?
[10:54] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, sure - before you can use it - you need a copy
[10:55] <DevilSOlution> okie dokie
[10:55] <dcorking> dan__ - don't know - I always do it the hard way!
[10:55] <mistral_> which is the best site to get some vmware images for ubuntu?
[10:56] <mistral_> I am looking for 64-bit versions of the vmware image for ubuntu
[10:57] <dan__> eh.. i thought a file system like ext4 is powerfull enough to restore a single file in case of accedental removal.. i know we should be carefull.. but such tools must exist on opensource filesystems.. :(
[10:57] <theadmin> dan__: google "testdisk".
[10:57] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, if you will be using symlinks then make a subdirectory in your new drive to contain all your copies
[10:57] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: here is a complete install and setup of samba on the ubuntu forums, check the settings in the howto with yours. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 Maybe its just a setting.
[10:57] <_killo_> hola
[10:58] <stimpie> mistral_: thoughtpolice.co.uk has a few but they  are slow updating lately
[10:58] <dan__> theadmin: great :D u think i can retore my file with it?
[10:58] <vietred> ActionParsnip: thank you, I found it :D
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> dan__: you will need to boot to liveCD so the file system isn't mounted
[10:59] <mistral_> I got some from thoughtpolice.co.uk...but there was no sound on the 64-bit one I downloaded.
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> dan__: you don't have to be careful, you just need a good backup
[10:59] <theadmin> dan__: Could be. Well, not with Testdisk itself, but with a part of it called "photorec".
[10:59] <mathews> mistral_: http://www.virtualbox.org/
[10:59] <mistral_> @stimpie: I got some from thoughtpolice.co.uk...but there was no sound on the 64-bit one I downloaded.
[10:59] <dan__> theadmin: will try it in moment :D
[10:59] <mistral_> mathews: thanks...let me try
[11:01] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, it keeps saying ommiting directory when i try cp home or cp /home or cp home/keg etc
[11:01] <tonkafu> Luci4n0: ok ty ill try it
[11:01] <MethedMan> is there a way to turn on/off the grub menu
[11:01] <dan__> ActionParsnip: Things happen.. you can not take daily backup from your own laptop.. i lost a file and was wondering how to restore it.. I am not talking about a critical server that has deleted files.. in that case I would be having backups for sure :)
[11:01] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: To copy folders, use "cp -r source source source ... target"
[11:02] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: ok .. good luck
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> dan__: why not? I do
[11:03] <DevilSOlution> theadmin, ty, now its just flashing with a marker
[11:03] <dan__> ActionParsnip: good for you :)
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> dan__: laptops should especially be backed up as they are easier to damage due to dropping and such more than a stationary tower
[11:03] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, you need the '-r' flag to recursively copy a directory with cp , and the '-p' flag to preserve permissions
[11:04] <mnemoc> hi, how can I list (from command line) the packages offered by a given ppa?
[11:04] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, its crashed i think?
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> dan__: if yur data is important, it should be backed up, its really that simple. Drive motors can and do fail, then no amount of software can get the data back. Where is your data then?
[11:04] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, why do you think that?
[11:04] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, its just flashing with a marker
[11:05] <bartavelle> hello, every morning, starting around 7am, my servers want to go directly to an IP from the archive.ubuntu.com pool (http). The problem is that i did setup apt proxy, and it works well (unattended-upgrades do work). Is there something I'm missing ?
[11:05] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: Just wait till it gives you the prompt back
[11:05] <DevilSOlution> okay
[11:05] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, probably still working - can you paste your cp command here?
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> dan__: if the data you want to recover has been overwritten with new data since the removal then it is gone
[11:05] <DevilSOlution> cp -r home/keg  media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba
[11:05] <dan__> ActionParsnip: I know that..
[11:06] <dan__> ActionParsnip: the file is less than 1MB..
[11:06] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: That doesn't look right
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> mnemoc: not sure via cli, you could head over to the ppa web page and view the packages there
[11:06] <DevilSOlution> how do i quit the command?
[11:06] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: Try like: cp -r /home/keg /media/that-huge-number-thingy
[11:06] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: To stop the execution, hit Ctrl+C
[11:06] <dan__> ActionParsnip: my /root is around 200GB free space.. so there is a good chance it is there somewhere :)
[11:06] <mnemoc> ActionParsnip: :(
[11:06] <sunit> when I am checking firewall status in ubuntu server by  sudo iptables -L -nv the output is in url http://dpaste.de/ajGL/. is the output correct ?
[11:06] <DevilSOlution> tyvm
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> mnemoc: http://askubuntu.com/questions/37531/how-do-i-remove-all-packages-from-a-certain-repository    could use that but hack it around
[11:07] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, theadmin, i tried this "keg@ubuntu:/$ cp -r -p /home/keg  /media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba
[11:07] <DevilSOlution> "
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> dan__: sounds likely :)
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> dan__: boot to livecd and use foremost
[11:08] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: Looks right.
[11:08] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, now wait a few minutes  - when you get the prompt back  - it has silently succeeded :)
[11:08] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: To make sure it's doing stuff right: cp -rpv /home/keg  /media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba
[11:08] <DevilSOlution> okie dokie its the flashing marker again
[11:08] <mnemoc> ActionParsnip: thanks for the pointer :) looks good
[11:08] <DevilSOlution> ohhh damn okay
[11:10] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, http://learn.clemsonlinux.org/wiki/Symlink
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> mnemoc: look at the code as the thread is about removing
[11:11] <DevilSOlution> theadmin, dcorking, okay the original command has worked but with the -p parameter it has flagged lots of permission issues
[11:11] <DevilSOlution> its like this
[11:11] <DevilSOlution> cp: cannot create regular file `/media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba/keg/Downloads/jre1.6.0_24/README': Permission denied
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> mnemoc: works well :)
[11:11] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, could you paste a typical output to paste.lisp.org and post the link here?
[11:12] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: Try it with sudo.
[11:12] <DevilSOlution> ahh okay
[11:12] <theadmin> dcorking: lol lisp
[11:12] <dcorking> sudo sounds a bit heavy - DevilSOlution are you logged in as keg or as another user?
[11:12] <DevilSOlution> as keg
[11:12] <DevilSOlution> its the only user on the system
[11:13] <DevilSOlution> all other files copied
[11:13] <DevilSOlution> but the jre1 directory has permission issues i guess?
[11:13] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: Odd, I suppose so.
[11:13] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, then there is something wrong if you have permissions issues - keg should be able to read everything in keg's own home
[11:13] <DevilSOlution> hmmm
[11:14] <mnemoc> ActionParsnip: :) thanks!
[11:14] <Israfel> DevilSOlution, is there a file already there by that name that's owned? What is the file system of that mounted drive?
[11:14] <DevilSOlution> ill see what happens with sudo
[11:14] <DevilSOlution> ext2 i think
[11:14] <gsb> hello all
[11:15] <DevilSOlution> i think i may have already copied it, ill check the symlink, i think it has copied it now
[11:15] <theadmin> Hello, gsb
[11:15] <Israfel> DevilSOlution, I wouldn't be worrying about a README file anyways. if really needed you can make a new file and copy and paste the text.
[11:16] <DevilSOlution> okie dokie ill get the symlink now
[11:17] <DevilSOlution> only one issue with the sudo version of the command
[11:17] <DevilSOlution> cp: cannot stat `/home/keg/.gvfs': Permission denied
[11:17] <DevilSOlution> other than that its fine
[11:18] <prashant_123456> how to rename linux partitions
[11:18] <beacher> Hi,all.How to backup my desktop?My OS is ubtuntu,desktop environment is gnome.
[11:18] <theadmin> prashant_123456: e2label
[11:18] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: You can't copy that, indeed
[11:18] <prashant_123456> theadmin, this is the command ??
[11:18] <theadmin> prashant_123456: Check it's manual, but generally yes.
[11:18] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, I think it is just 'sudo ln -s /media/that-long-number/keg /home' - but first you need to 'cd /home' then 'sudo rm -R keg' and rm -R is always a scary command to use
[11:19] <prashant_123456> theadmin,  thanks
[11:19] <beacher> Hi,all.How to backup my desktop?My OS is ubtuntu10.10\,desktop environment is gnome.
[11:19] <theadmin> dcorking: I think it's -r, not -R
[11:19] <theadmin> beacher: Could you explain what's happening a bit better?
[11:19] <tonkafu> Luci4n0: does it make a difference if i allow guest access and access the shares without using a password?
[11:19] <DevilSOlution> is it an important file to copy?
[11:19] <dcorking> theadmin, how will DevilSOlution recreate his .gvfs - will it happen automatically when he logs in again?
[11:20] <Luci4n0> tonkafu: its not good practice security wise, but it should not have effect on your speed.
[11:20] <theadmin> dcorking: Yeah.
[11:21] <theadmin> dcorking: It's some weird GNOME thing. Just don't worry
[11:21] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, .gvfs is an empty directory on my system - if it is the same on yours then it is probably not important at all - and if you find you do need it, make it with mkdir
[11:21] <theadmin> dcorking: It's not empty, it's just that only GNOME can read/write to it
[11:21] <sunit> when I am scanning with nmap I am getting Port Closed  which can be seen in url http://dpaste.de/IcWp/.please help me
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> dcorking: .gvfs is where filesystems get mounted to
[11:21] <DevilSOlution> okie dokie, ill leave it for now, now this symlink command?
[11:22] <DevilSOlution> its ln oldfile newfile?
[11:23] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, you can't do the symlink until your home directory has gone away - I don't know if you can do that while logged in as keg - might be safer to create a new admin user and log in as new user
[11:23] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: ln -s TARGET LINKNAME
[11:23] <DevilSOlution> so ln /home/keg /media/longnumber/keg
[11:23] <DevilSOlution> oh link name
[11:23] <DevilSOlution> okay ill make a new admin user
[11:23] <theadmin> dcorking: But I think he doesn't want a symlink, he'd probably want to carry his $HOME around.
[11:24] <DevilSOlution> theadmin, i want my $home on my new /media/longnumber device
[11:24] <root> salut
[11:24] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: Is that /media/longnumber a portable device?
[11:24] <DevilSOlution> theadmin, ive run out of space on my main HD
[11:24] <DevilSOlution> theadmin, no a slave HD
[11:24] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: Oh... I see what you want then
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: use bleachbit to free space
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: you can also remove unused kernels to free space too
[11:25] <Israfel> DevilSOlution, I'm not sure you can move your home while you're logged in as that account.
[11:25] <theadmin> Okay, the whole point is this: create a random folder on that device, move what you had in /home/keg there, then run sudo ln -s /media/longnumber/lolfolder /home/keg
[11:25] <sunit> hello,any body can answer refering url http://dpaste.de/IcWp/
[11:25] <theadmin> !repeat | sunit
[11:25] <DevilSOlution> well the real problem is that i installed ubuntu using wine whiel in xp and i only gave myself like 15gb partition that gpart cant seem to change, so ive had to put a slave in to increase my space, i want all files that have variable sizes, like temp and home in the new slave HD
[11:26] <DevilSOlution> using wine? i meen wubi
[11:26] <jamiewan_> o
[11:26] <jamiewan_> p
[11:26] <jamiewan_> q
[11:26] <DevilSOlution> mean*
[11:26] <jamiewan_> sorry bad touchpad
[11:26] <DevilSOlution> ill make a new admin user
[11:26] <DevilSOlution> cant i log in as in root? or that a bit dangerous?
[11:27]  * theadmin blinks at the words "admin user"... This isn't Windows, DevilSOlution
[11:27] <fallingdutch> I have a problem installing 11.04 using Alternate i386 CD: after installing the apt it asks me to change the media. CD and HD are ok. any ideas?
[11:27] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: You can log in as root if you know the root's password
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: can you give the output of:  uname -a; echo; dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: use a pastebin, I can give a command to remove the unused kernels
[11:27] <jp__> hey guys. anyone no if ubuntu will send a 11.04 live cd to Afghanistan?
[11:28] <DJones> jp__: Shipit no longer send cd's out
[11:28] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, sure you _could_ log in as root - but ubuntu doesn't have a root password, so you can't until you create one
[11:28] <theadmin> jp__: Shipit has closed
[11:28] <DJones> !shipit | jp__
[11:28] <sunit> ubottu: ok
[11:28] <jp__> thanks
[11:28] <DevilSOlution> ActionParsnip, i dont really wanna be deleting anything atm
[11:29] <DevilSOlution> how can i increase my partition? this is the main problem, i have 50gb free but gpart wont allow me to increase becasue its a windows part
[11:29] <mnemoc> jp__: you could try on-disk.com too
[11:29] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, ActionParsnip is right - those old kernels won't be much use
[11:29] <coco> hey everyone, anyone ever tried another alternative to flash..any recommandations?
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: each kernel takes up ~120Mb so if you have a lot of kernels you can free up a tonne of space. You cal also run:  sudo apt-get clean   to clean up the deb cache which can get huge
[11:29] <theadmin> coco: There are none
[11:29] <redGoat> coco: "youtube-dl"
[11:30] <theadmin> I still don't see why do so many distros actually keep old kernels
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> coco: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/flash-alternative-lightspark-0-4-5-released/
[11:30] <redGoat> coco: No flash -- Use it for downloading YouTube clips. :)
[11:30] <DevilSOlution> ive used the apt-get clean, i have lots of free space but i cant seem to access it :(
[11:30] <Soothsayer> How do I give apache read/write permission to a directory in my home?
[11:30] <sunit> ubuttu: can you answer my question ?
[11:30] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, when logged in as another user (or as keg if you dare) 'sudo mv /home/keg /home/oldkeg' to get your original stuff out of the way without deleting it
[11:30] <coco> it's not really just for youtube...its for everything
[11:30] <theadmin> sunit: Ubottu is nothing but a program, so it can't
[11:31] <jamiewan_> sunit, ! ask
[11:31] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, ty
[11:31] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, then you can use the ln command how we described to make the symlink
[11:31] <jp__> iv been trying to download a live cd but internet is really slow.
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: i see, strange, have you checked the partitions health using fsck
[11:32] <DevilSOlution> ActionParsnip, it wont let me because it says its in use
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: yes, use a livecd / liveusb. You shouldn't fsck a mounted partition
[11:32] <DevilSOlution> ive only used it on gui tho, not in the terminal illtest it
[11:32] <dcorking> ActionParsnip, DevilSOlution doesn't have a Live CD - or any storage to burn one - so he can't resize partitions on his root drive
[11:32] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: An alternative is this: sudo touch /forcefsck ; sudo reboot
[11:32] <sunit> theadmin: ok. what shall I do ?
[11:33] <DevilSOlution> theadmin, what will it do?
[11:33] <theadmin> DevilSOlution: Perform a filesystem check on reboot, which is probably what you want
[11:33] <DevilSOlution> this is my last line of fsck
[11:33] <DevilSOlution> hmm
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> dcorking: I see
[11:34] <DevilSOlution> "/host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk: clean, 277479/559728 files, 1768656/2238464 blocks
[11:34] <DevilSOlution> "
[11:34] <theadmin> sunit: No idea, really, just wait till someone answers
[11:34] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, although there are programs that can shrink your NTFS partition provided it isn't mounted, you will have to use the space to make a new partition as you can't grow your linux partition while it is mounted
[11:34] <jamiewan_> sunit, what is your question again
[11:35] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, and theres no way of unmounting while im on it?
[11:35] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, just had a thought - if you want a live CD - why not download the iso to the free space on your Windows partition, and burn it from there
[11:35] <g3oM1> hi guys how can i install on ubuntu 10.04 LTS the haskkell?
[11:35] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, i cant get into xp, its died
[11:35] <theadmin> g3oM1: wut
[11:35] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, not even in safe mode, if i can set my downlaods to the new slave HD i can DL it?
[11:36] <DevilSOlution> i have the wubi installer on my pen drive
[11:36] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, you can't get into XP - but your Ubuntu can see it
[11:36] <Guest45734> iptabels ubuntu plz solution
[11:36] <DevilSOlution> its how i installed ubuntu originally
[11:36] <g3oM1> the haskell-platform on how can i install it on ubuntu 11.04 LTS?
[11:36] <sunit> jamiewan: when I am trying to ssh connect a ubuntu server from differnet IP , the connection timed out. when I am giving nmap the output is given in http://dpaste.de/IcWp/
[11:37] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, so you want to switch the downlaod files to the windows files or to the new HD?
[11:37] <dcorking> DevilSOlution, anywhere you want actually - new HD sounds easier - do you have 700MB there ?
[11:37] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, yeh
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: copy the folder to the new position, then run:  ln -s /path/to/new/Downloads ~/Downloads
[11:39] <Guest45734> a
[11:39] <Ileden> mozilla prism seems to be removed in 11.04. What could be used instead for the same purpose (having a separate instance of a browser, with no general browser controls, dedicated for a single webapp)?
[11:40] <sunit> jamiewan: have you seen ? any suggestion ?
[11:41] <DevilSOlution> dcorking, the original ln to the new home folder, whats the second argument? new file path & ?
[11:41] <jamiewan_> sunit, so port 22 is closed,
[11:41] <pitpaf> I Cant get my xmodmap to load at startup whats the proper way to do it?
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> pitpaf: add a startup item and it should be ok. Does this not make it work?
[11:42] <schnuffle> pitpaf: you mean at boot time? You could use /etc/rc.local
[11:43] <dcorking> Ileden, I'm glad you mentioned that - I am in the middle of an upgrade and prism may be a showstopper for me
[11:43] <jamiewan_> sunit, do you have ssh server installed?
[11:43] <Ileden> dcorking: showstopper - really?
[11:43] <DevilSOlution> you guys are too fast for me, the ln command anyone?
[11:43] <sunit> jamiewan: yes
[11:44] <DevilSOlution> my home folder that i coppied to my new device how to link it?
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: where did you copy it to and what is the folder name (case sensitive)
[11:44] <sunit> jamiewan_: ssh server is installed
[11:44] <jamiewan_> sunit,  sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[11:44] <schnuffle> DevilSOlution: ln -s target link
[11:44] <DevilSOlution> what does link mean?
[11:44] <DevilSOlution> it is
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> jamiewan_: sudo service sshd restart
[11:45] <jamiewan_> ah
[11:45] <schnuffle> DevilSOlution: link is the already existing folder
[11:45] <Ileden> dcorking: Some googling seems to suggest prism is a dying project. There's something called "mozilla chromeless" that'll replace it. However, it's a bit problematic in this meantime, it's quite useful for me.
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: if you give the name we can give the command and it will make sense
[11:45] <DevilSOlution> "/media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba/keg
[11:45] <g3oM1> there isnt available the haskell-platform on ubuntu 10.04 LTS?
[11:45] <pitpaf> ActionParsnip, I wanted to have it work before X as in case I ever needed tty Ill try /etc/rc.local
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: and keg is your username?
[11:45] <jamiewan_> sunit, see ActionParsnip line above
[11:45] <DevilSOlution> yes
[11:45] <DevilSOlution> the existing folder was /home/keg
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> pitpaf: cool, add it above the exit 0 line
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: sudo ln -s /media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba/keg
[11:46] <mathezula> is the source for the 'mi edition' addons available for download somewhere?   But when I am trying from differnt IP the connection timed out
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: you will need to do it in root recovery mode as the files are in use
[11:46] <DevilSOlution> ln: `/media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba/keg': hard link not allowed for directory
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> sunit: is it on the same network?
[11:46] <schnuffle> sunit: check your iptables: sudo iptables -L
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> sunit: the system you are connecting from
[11:47] <DevilSOlution> oh okay so i gota log out and back in as root?
[11:47] <jamiewan_> sunit, i'm not to sure direct it to ActionParsnip see what he says
[11:47] <WienerWuerstel> Hi Guys
[11:47] <DevilSOlution> and it wouldnt let me make a new user btw, unless i can do it in the terminal
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> DevilSOlution: you can't logon as root, reboot and hold shift, select recovery mode then select root
[11:47] <sunit> ActionParnsnip: no in different network
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> sunit: are you behind a router?
[11:48] <dsq> no input
[11:48] <DevilSOlution> okie dokie
[11:48] <DevilSOlution> brb?
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> sunit: then you need to port forward port 22 to the system running the ssh service
[11:48] <dsq> 有人吗
[11:48] <mathezula> is there a place to get non-distro-specific sources for this: http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2009/02/04/hp-releases-netbook-interface-for-ubuntu/

[11:50] <fallingdutch> I am still trying to install 11.04 using alternate CD, digging deeper into the problem. the last message in syslog is "the following NEW packages will be installed: mdadm" then it asks me for the media change of the CD. CD and HD are ok. any ideas?
[11:50] <dirtycookie> and when i choose install ubuntu on a hard disk

[11:53] <schnuffle> !it | giacomo
[11:53] <abrakazam> hello. i have a pretty weird problem: Im running a server and use tail in combination with grepping some lines for monitoring. The problem is... the last 10? lines get cut of for some reason
[11:53] <sc00ut> have you tried tail -f
[11:53] <schnuffle> abrakazam: show the coamnd line youj're using
[11:54] <abrakazam> wait, i will past it somewhere
[11:54] <abrakazam> sc00ut: yes i use it with tail -f
[11:54] <mathezula> does anyone know where I can talk to someone about the mi edition of ubuntu?
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> fallingdutch: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[11:54] <sunit> schnuffle: please see the url http://dpaste.de/ajGL/
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> dirtycookie: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[11:55] <abrakazam> http://pastebin.com/dSFE3dv1
[11:55] <dirtycookie> ActionParsnip:no
[11:55] <mathezula> email address, forum, telephone, it doesn't need to be on IRC
[11:55] <dirtycookie> y?
[11:55] <abrakazam> now the weird thing about it is... if i use tail without the -f option, everything is alright
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> dirtycookie: then how do you know the ISO was complete or consistent?
[11:56] <abrakazam> but if i append the -f option lines at the end get cut off
[11:56] <dirtycookie> ok
[11:56] <schnuffle> sunit: To recapitulate: you can connect locally with ssh -l user localhost, but you can't connect from the local network? Your iptables is fine
[11:56] <dirtycookie> ill check that
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | dirtycookie
[11:56] <dirtycookie> thx
[11:56]  * Tekku Lunch Time!
[11:57] <abrakazam> also very funny: if I dont grep any lines (the ip lines for instance) everything works
[11:57] <schnuffle> abrakazam: maybe the grep statement cut the last lines due to the pattern?
[11:58] <sc00ut> i think so to that grep cuts the lines
[11:58] <abrakazam> schnuffle: no, its not the pattern. if I dont use the -f option for tail its ok
[11:59] <schnuffle> abrakazam: then I've no explanation
[11:59] <abrakazam> me neither :D
[11:59] <sunit> schnuffle: I can ssh connect in our LAN. but when we are trying with different global IP (WAN) we are unable to establish ssh connection
[12:00] <schnuffle> sunit: Then if your DSL router uses NAT you need a port forwarding rule as Action already stated
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> sunit: if you use a router you need to setup port forwarding or the router will drop the link
[12:00] <brubelsa1s> which, do you think, is the most promising alternative to ubuntu? Debian? Mint?
[12:00] <sunit> ActionParsnip: any suggestion ?
[12:00] <mathezula> brubelsa1s, fedora 14 or slackware.
[12:01] <abrakazam> brubelsa1s: depends what you want to do with it
[12:01] <schnuffle> brubelsa1s: I can recommend Suse, Fedora, Mint
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> sunit: yes, setup port forwarding
[12:01] <fallingdutch> yes I did ActionParsnip
[12:01] <brubelsa1s> mathezula: fedora has rpm, wouldn't this be, a regress?
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> sunit: access your routers config page and set it up
[12:01] <mathezula> brubelsa1s, not at all.
[12:01] <redrabbit> Hello i need help with ad-hoc connection on Natty - i have ubuntu community how to but for older version
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> fallingdutch: ok and did you check the CD consistency when the CD started to boot?
[12:02] <sunit> ActionParsnip: we are using router with port forwarding
[12:02] <schnuffle> brubelsa1s: no, for KDE I recommend Suse, Fedora doesn't has multimedia in the default repositories
[12:02] <brubelsa1s> abrakazam: Easy to use, to maintain, system, with high flexibility.. (as ubuntu, but better, in terms of hardware support, error regression, etc..)
[12:02] <mathezula> brubelsa1s, the error in your thinking is that newer is better.  they're just different types of a package managers.  I'd stick to yum with fedora, though, it should have everything you need.
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> sunit: then it's not setup right, review settings. You may need to reboot the router
[12:03] <fallingdutch> yes @ActionParsnip
[12:03] <abrakazam> brubelsa1s: hardware support mostly depends on the kernel and not on the distribution
[12:03] <sunit> ActionParsnip: ok
[12:03] <mathezula> brubelsa1s, it doesn't have mm in the default repos but the repos with those in them are very, very easy to add.  don't let the fud confuse you.
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> fallingdutch: so it is asking for the CD during boot?
[12:04] <fallingdutch> no, at 77% it stops
[12:04] <brubelsa1s> ok, why I am asking is: I am very unconfident with the current 11.04. (have been using since 6.04) but there are many issues (many of them already at launchpad) which I consider as bad or bug..
[12:04] <fallingdutch> ActionParsnip: the last message in the log during install is that it is trying to install mdadm
[12:04] <brubelsa1s> but I looked at Debian, and well: they got better, but still no comparison to ubuntu
[12:05] <mathezula> does anyone know where I can talk to someone about the mi edition of ubuntu?  i'm actually trying to find out how feasible it would be to get some of those added packages installed on a fedora machine.
[12:05] <KM0201> brubelsa1s: what are your problems w/ 11.04?
[12:05] <fallingdutch> ActionParsnip: and the cd is mountable, been able to do it by hand 'mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom' works without problems
[12:05] <mathezula> i cant find the source for most of the mi edition stuff
[12:05] <fallingdutch> ActionParsnip: the diskname is correct
[12:06] <brubelsa1s> KM0201: having WiFi not working, reboot during install, Unity (I know there is old gnome, but not for 11.10 I guess)..
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> fallingdutch: strange, are there any bugs reported for it?
[12:06] <brubelsa1s> KM0201: meaning the installation was not finished (and this was an old system)
[12:06] <mathezula> fallingdutch, have you ran dmesg?
[12:06] <xiaoy> Is it possible to upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04?
[12:06] <fallingdutch> mathezula: no
[12:06] <KM0201> brubelsa1s: well, unity... i tend to agree (there's other options you know... lxde, kde, xfce), as for your wireless not working, if its not working w/ Ubuntu, the chances of it working w/ Debian are slim... what wireless device?
[12:07] <brubelsa1s> KM0201: And as I said, there is a launchpad discussion ongoing which I am attached to
[12:07] <mathezula> fallingdutch, after the strange behavior, run dmesg, and see what it says.
[12:07] <KM0201> brubelsa1s: have you tried the alt. install cd?.. if the live cd is giving you issues, thats what its for
[12:07] <brubelsa1s> KM0201: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732677
[12:08] <brubelsa1s> KM0201: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732677
[12:08] <KM0201> hmm
[12:08] <brubelsa1s> KM0201: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732677
[12:08] <brubelsa1s> sorry
[12:08] <Dazzled> is there a way to configure the indicator applet?
[12:08] <brubelsa1s> my return key is a bit broken :)
[12:08] <fallingdutch> mathezula: sense error on sr0
[12:08] <KM0201> brubelsa1s: i see it...lol.. that looks like its a kernel problem... so unless you regress to an older kernel, thats not gonna be resolved, probably no matter what distro you use
[12:09] <mathezula> fallingdutch, looks like hardware failure.
[12:09] <Dazzled> There's some stuff I never use, and I'd like to add some things as well
[12:09] <brubelsa1s> KM0201: that is why I discarded my 11.04 and set up a "new" 10.10 where it has worked before
[12:09] <Dazzled> eg, I'd like to add XChat, and remove the MicroBlog things
[12:10] <KM0201> brubelsa1s: ok.. well, from the sounds of it, that makes sense.. i imagine that broadcom can be made to work w/ 11.04 w/ some work.
[12:10] <fallingdutch> mathezula: Sense Key: Medium Error [current]
[12:10] <brubelsa1s> KM0201: But also the headphones aren't working when you plug them in
[12:11] <brubelsa1s> brubelsa1s: the 11.04 left my device unuseable
[12:11] <KM0201> brubelsa1s: i dunno.. sounds like you should stick w/ 10.10.. but 11.04(unity issues notwithstanding) has been fine for m.e
[12:11] <brubelsa1s> and as I said before I am using ubuntu since 06.04 and linux for almost 10 years, tried a lot of distris but now I think ubuntu has done it...
[12:12] <lmt_lucas> hi folks
[12:12] <brubelsa1s> KM0201: of course as long as you can use your hardware, it would be fine for me too.
[12:12] <Dazzled> brubelsa1s, does the hardware get recognized (in case of the headset?)
[12:12] <ouyes> hi this is really frustrating, I can install ubuntu 11.04 from a usb flash drive but I can't install 10.04.2 from the same usb flash drive, what is wrong with 10.04.2? where to find 10.04.1
[12:12] <mathezula> KM0201, he could go with 11.04 and just rebuild his kernel with the correct hardware support.
[12:12] <brubelsa1s> Or I just wait a half year
[12:12] <lmt_lucas> I've run into a bit of a wall with Natty and I'm looking for input
[12:12] <KM0201> mathezula: lol, yeah he could do that to...
[12:13] <mathezula> KM0201, takes two hours.
[12:13] <brubelsa1s> Dazzled: Yes there is a workaround described at launchpad, no big deal,.. just annoying
[12:13] <KM0201> mathezula: i'm aware of that... my point is.. i doubt he wants to do that.. plus, most folks don't want that hassle ( i know i don't)
[12:14] <brubelsa1s> mathezula: and I wan't updates!
[12:14] <lmt_lucas> While installing on old hardware I got to the point of "this pc is too old to run Unity" popup but I cannot interact with it in any way, neither the mouse nor keyboard are working (they're ok in the bios). Any ideas outside of reinstalling the minimal version and adding Gnome?
[12:14] <Dazzled> brubelsa1s, I agree, end-users shouldn't have to "hack" their system to comply
[12:15] <mathezula> meh. i usually insist on my own kernel build, that way i know beyond the shadow of a doubt whats there because i put it there.  i start with a fresh config, do it up, then just zcat the config.gz file, so when a new kernel comes out I just use it as an earmark.
[12:15] <jstoone> Hi everyone, I'm having some big struggle setting up/configureing my postfix/sendmail. I know it's a big favor to ask, but can any of you help me though it?
[12:15] <BajK> is there a way to make Natty less annoying? I dont want to type my password 10 times when using the package manager. ONCE is enough but that "remember authorization" thing just DOESNT work
[12:15] <jstoone> Maybe exim4 if you preffer that instead
[12:15] <mathezula> thats not hacking.  not even close lol.  thats like tightening a bolt on a rocket ship and then calling it aeronautic engineering.
[12:16] <BajK> how can I grant me all rights for installing/Removing/Updating packages?
[12:16] <brubelsa1s> What me was making to start this discussion is, that I observed on a outdated system (2005), the installation got stucked, rebooting, leaving the system in unusable state.. I could not figured out log and stuff, but that the new 11.04 gaves me hardware troubles with two computers is a bad feeling.. (and both known to work with 10.10)
[12:16] <zarlan> jstoone, don't know a lot about postfix but one of these guides might help http://library.linode.com/email/postfix
[12:16] <jstoone> BajK: Sudo?
[12:17] <KM0201> brubelsa1s: did you try post #23 on that 732677 link
[12:17] <jstoone> zarlan: thanks
[12:17] <mathezula> lord, i just cannot find any details at all about this ubuntu "mi edition".  can someone help?  I'd like to see the sources, or at least a breakdown of what changes were made to what packages so I can see about getting it installed on a fedora system.
[12:17] <mathezula> ive searched all over google and nothing comes up?
[12:17] <zarlan> jstoone: welcome, they host my server and I've found their guides pretty handy
[12:18] <BajK> jstoone: lol
[12:18] <BajK> no
[12:18] <BajK> when just using the package manager
[12:18] <BajK> then always policykit gets on my nerves and asks for my passowrd like 10 times
[12:18] <brubelsa1s> KM0201: As I said, I reverted back to 10.10,... since I need the netbook for work I will not switch between the system.. Ok I could use live cd or dual boot.. but this will take time, and papers have to be written too..
[12:19] <KM0201> brubelsa1s: just saying, it looks like there are some ways to work around this, until the fix is upstream.
[12:19] <brubelsa1s> ok, I will prepare a live usb, stick, yes this is a good Idea..
[12:19] <DevilSolution> using the ln command on root user didnt work i used the -s parameter and it said that /home/keg was read only
[12:20] <KM0201> brubelsa1s: not sure how easy it will be to implement on a live cd, but the main thing to remember, is if you update, do not update that package.
[12:20] <brubelsa1s> I an installation of 10.10 occupies the whole drive, is it easy to make a dual boot for 10.10 and 11.04? (repartitioning?)
[12:20] <schnuffle> DevilSolution: First delete /home/keg then create the link , make a backup of /home/keg first
[12:21] <DevilSolution> godamn it
[12:21] <DevilSolution> lol
[12:21] <DevilSolution> >.>
[12:21] <DevilSolution> what do you mean back up of it?
[12:21] <KM0201> brubelsa1s: it shouldn't be to difficult, but i've not usually dual booted two versions of ubuntu.
[12:22] <schnuffle> DevilSolution: cd / && sudo rm -fR /home/keg && sudo ln -s /home/keg /your/copied/home/keg
[12:22] <brubelsa1s> I think to shrink an ext4 is not easy.. since that what I've to do
[12:22] <schnuffle> DevilSolution: I mean if you delete it make sure you saved your data
[12:22] <KM0201> brubelsa1s: gparted should be able to do that w/o any issues.
[12:23] <brubelsa1s> KM0201: Oh I will try, since when rebooting comes into play the usb live setup will be a bit difficult..
[12:23] <DevilSolution> schnuffle, okay do i have to do all this in root? means i have to write it down becasue i can only get into root console
[12:23] <brubelsa1s> KM0201: thanks, and sorry for the flames on ubuntu ;)
[12:23] <schnuffle> DevilSolution: if the user has sudo rights you can use my command line
[12:23] <KM0201> brubelsa1s: doesn't bother me at all.. juts saying... sometimes people make some outrageous claims about things "not working".. when just a little looking usually reveals an answer.
[12:24] <BajK> why was that policykit editor removed? now there is no chance of disabling this Vista-behavior at all… without digging in config files which I dont even know where they are
[12:25] <arand> brubelsa1s: What you'd want is to run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and deselect all drives on the ubuntu instance which will not be handling grub.
[12:25] <DevilSolution> schnuffle, ty
[12:26] <schnuffle> your welcome
[12:26] <brubelsa1s> arand: thanks for that hint, I would have probably missed that in the first run :)
[12:30] <Rziz> Should I make mrproper/make clean before recompiling a kernel from the same source tree?
[12:30] <Ileden> If I'm connected to the internet via two connections, how does Ubuntu determine which connection is used when I e.g. open a web page to make an ssh connection?
[12:30] <fallingdutch> mathezula: thanks for the hint, it did work using another CD drive
[12:33] <gorio> could anyone help me how to install glibc-devel on Ubuntu 11.04 x84_64 ?
[12:33] <abrakazam> hello again... since the last time no one could help me i return with the error for everyone to reproduce: http://pastebin.com/KbCBF3Ln
[12:34] <dcorking> schnuffle, I think the 'ln' command you gave to DevilSolution might be backwards - it is normally ln -s TARGET LINKNAME
[12:36] <DevilSolution> dcorking, can i run it as a sudo command rather than root?
[12:38] <rcmaehl_mobile> Why can't Windows 7 use GPT!?
[12:38] <rcmaehl_mobile> I have to reformat my HDD now
[12:39] <frostschutz> it can use gpt just fine, unfortunately
[12:39] <rcmaehl_mobile> but you can't install it to gpt ><
[12:40] <frostschutz> it tried to format all my linux partitions when I first switched to gpt, because linux data and windows data partition is actually the same type, lol
[12:40] <schnuffle> dcorking: I think I'm right :) he wants to relink his copied folder to /home
[12:41] <janhaj> hello.. I have a notebook HP with preinstalled Windows and my install linux on other partition. It also has recovery partition. I am planning to do recover. This recover erases all partitions and makes only one Windows or keep linux's partitions and erases only one ntfs?
[12:41] <dcorking> Ileden, I am sorry to hear prism is going - I wonder if it is compatible with Firefox 4 - I use a nice music webapp called we7 - so I exaggerate when I called it a showstopper ...
[12:41] <rcmaehl_mobile> janhaj: could you restate that I didn't understnad it
[12:42] <schnuffle> dcorking: Opps no
[12:42] <dcorking> but I don't like a we7/flash crash to bring down firefox, or vice versa, so I will do without cheap music, or do without natty, for a while :)
[12:42] <schnuffle> dcorking: That's the part i'm always getting wrong
[12:42] <rcmaehl_mobile> dcorking: use chromium?
[12:43] <frostschutz> janhaj: such a recovery solution usually wipes everything
[12:43] <dcorking> rcmaehl_mobile, I am thinking of trying chromium after my natty upgrade - would solve that issue
[12:43] <rcmaehl_mobile> dcorking: it should
[12:43] <dcorking> schnuffle, LOL me too - I always run 'ln --help' before every use
[12:44] <schnuffle> dcorking: :) like me
 I have a notebook with preinstalled Windows and I make another partition, where I install linux. When I do recover Windows from boot menu, it wipes everything or only ntfs with Windows
 ok, thanks.. :)
[12:44] <rcmaehl_mobile> janhaj: oh.
[12:46] <rcmaehl_mobile> what if I installed windows and ubuntu to the same ntfs partition. what would happen?
[12:46] <iceroot> rcmaehl_mobile: nothing
[12:46] <iceroot> rcmaehl_mobile: ubuntu will not run on ntfs
 ?
[12:47] <LjL> rcmaehl_mobile: you can't install Ubuntu on an NTFS paritition, modulo using Wubi
[12:47] <DevilsS0lution> it can run via ntfs i think, not on ntfs though
[12:47] <tdn> How do I get digikam 2.0 in Ubuntu 11.04? Is there a PPA?
[12:47] <Pici> t/22
[12:49] <sandstrom> sudo -u mongodb /usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongodbarbiter1.conf; works but su mongodb -c "/usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongodbarbiter1.conf"; dont'. Any ideas why?
[12:49] <schnuffle> sandstrom: use su - mongodb ......
[12:49] <schnuffle> sandstrom: the su - gives you a login shell with the correct env
[12:50] <dirtycookie> hi again
[12:51] <dirtycookie> i have my problem with installing ubnuntu on an asus eeePC and im stuck un the bootmenu of ubuntu
[12:51] <dirtycookie> i have the alternate installation cd on the usb stick
[12:51] <dcorking> DevilsS0lution, you got your new home directory running yet?
[12:52] <Konza>  While i was installing a perl module, it worked fine when i used the command perl -MCPAN -e shell , but it faild to work when i used the command perl -MCPAN -e 'install Archive::Zip'... Does anyone know the reason?
[12:52] <linuxuz3r> hi
[12:52] <linuxuz3r> how do i clone my existing ubuntu installation to a new hdd
[12:52] <mohannad> hello
[12:53] <schnuffle> linuxuz3r: USE CLONEZILLA LIVE cd
[12:53] <mohannad> does any one know here I can learn about linux and how to use and stuff?
[12:53] <arand> linuxuz3r: Use fsarchiver and clone on a partition basis, recreate partitions and image the files back.
[12:53] <mohannad> I can't get the hang of it
[12:53] <DevilsS0lution> dcorking: not yet, just playing on irssi
[12:53] <dirtycookie> and someone told my to do check the image md5 which i did and it went good
[12:53] <schnuffle> DevilsS0lution: dcorking showed me that I confused target and link
[12:53] <DevilsS0lution> do i run ln command in sudo, like sudo ln /media/longnumber/keg /home/keg/
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> DevilsS0lution:  normally one uses 'ln -s'
[12:54] <DevilsS0lution> and i have to delete the home/keg first right?
[12:54] <Ileden> dcorking: yeah, but chromeless should replace it. I hope it comes soon, I'm going to miss prism.
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> DevilsS0lution:  if /home/keg exists.. yes.. or rename it
[12:54] <DevilsS0lution> i tried ln -s and i got a read only error
[12:54] <schnuffle> DevilsS0lution: yes but use the -s switch cause hardlinks can't be done over different partitions
[12:54] <DevilsS0lution> okay ill rename for now
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> DevilsS0lution:  i dont think thats an issue with ln.. but with the filesystem
[12:54] <DevilsS0lution> okie dokie, ill brb guys
[12:54] <DevilsS0lution> ima try it ;)
[12:55] <dcorking> DevilsS0lution, you don't have to delete the /home/keg - on my machines I do something like mv /home/keg /home/oldkeg - because I like to hoard old stuff - just in case :)
[12:55] <Ileden> dcorking: I do have prism working on Ubuntu 10.10 with Firefox 4 (installed via mozilla ppa). I wonder if there's a way to install it into 11.04 and have it work, as long as we don't have chromeless
[12:56] <DevilsS0lution> do i delete/rename the home or just the keg bit?
[12:56] <DevilsS0lution> so /hi/again or /home/hiagain
[12:56] <dcorking> Ileden, natty has xulrunner, so I think prism should work and upgrade to natty is probably an oversight by Masters of the Universe
[12:56] <schnuffle> DevilsS0lution: just the keg bit
[12:56] <DevilsS0lution> ty :P
[12:57] <dcorking> Ileden, my guess is that prism will compile from deb-src or upstream tarball with a small amount of work - I will try if my machine doesn't like chromium
[12:59] <MethedMan> i am trying to run a script on startup that requires superuser privileges.  can someone tell me how to do this
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> MethedMan: add it in /etc/rc.local
[13:00] <MethedMan> thanks
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> MethedMan: thats assuming it needs running before x runs
[13:01] <MethedMan> ActionParsnip is there a good source/book/website that details the ubuntu/linux file system along with functionality and purpose.
[13:01] <MethedMan> I have been searching for a while but have not found anything comprehensive to get me started ActionParsnip
[13:02] <psypher246> hello all, I am having with empathy. No messages of mine go thorugh to users who are on mac using the msn client, I get their messages but nothing from me to them. This seems to be happening with all msn on mac contacts
[13:02] <louis_> hi, I think I found a bug in Ubuntu Natty gnome but I am not sure. When I drag a file on a reduced app and wait, the app doesn't show and open the file. any idea?
[13:03] <schnuffle> MethedMan: try http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> louis_:  lets clarify.. You mean a 'minimized' window in the left side 'launcher' panel ?
[13:04] <louis_> Dr_Willis: YYes I mean a minimized window, but as I use gnome (not unity) it is in the bottom of the desktop.
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> louis_:  so thats the 'windows list' in the bottom panel.
[13:06] <louis_> Dr_Willis: yes it is
[13:06] <danslo> psypher246: I have the same issue :)
[13:06] <kostodo> How do i search apt-get
[13:06] <kostodo> >
[13:06] <kostodo> ?
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> louis_:  i would suggest checking the forums and askubuntu web site to see if others have similer issues. also try making a new user and see if it affects them
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> !apt | kostkon
[13:06] <danslo> kostodo: apt-cache search
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> !apt | kostodo
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> :)
[13:06] <psypher246> danslo: ok so could be a general bug
[13:07] <danslo> psypher246: I guess so...
[13:07] <louis_> Dr_Willis: ok will do. Thanks
[13:09] <psypher246> danslo: arg, do you perhaps know when version of the mac client they have?
[13:09] <psypher246> so ican add that in tot bug report
[13:09] <danslo> psypher246: mmm not really, but afaik just the latest version obtained from microsoft website
[13:09] <danslo> hold on
[13:10] <danslo> psypher246: messenger for mac 8 (not sure if its just 8 or 8.0.1)
[13:10] <nailora> how do i manage (i.e. remove) bookmarks that i have added via gnomes "connect to server..."
[13:10] <psypher246> danslo: ok cool thanks
[13:10] <psypher246> I will log a bug report
[13:11] <outhacker> 请问ubuntu中文的频道是哪个
[13:11] <bazhang> outhacker, #ubuntu-cn
[13:11] <danslo> psypher246: cool, feel free to link so I can follow it... I have a mac and would possibly be able to provide more debug information for the empathy team
[13:11] <ice_> \刚装了个系统，用用
[13:11] <bazhang> ice_, /join #ubuntu-cn
[13:11] <outhacker> bazhang, 谢谢了
[13:12] <psypher246> danslo: ok cool i have a few guys i work with as well who use mac
[13:12]  * Tekku Back
[13:13] <ice_> 都说英文看都看不懂来点中文。COME  ！
[13:14] <Gnea> ice_: english?
[13:14] <fairuz> Hi, In which package can I found the 'mmm' command?
[13:14] <ice_> 不懂
[13:14] <LjL> !find mmm
[13:14] <jatt> !cn
[13:14] <Ileden> dcorking: hm, what does chromium have to do with it? Does it have a similar function to prism - if so, I want to know about it! :)
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> just run: mmm    and the system will recommend a package
[13:15] <ice_> I DON'T KNOW enish
[13:15] <Ileden> Question: If I'm connected to the internet via two connections, how does Ubuntu determine which connection is used when I e.g. open a web page to make an ssh connection?
[13:15] <LjL> ice_: what you don't know?
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: route
[13:15] <jatt> engrish
[13:15] <bazhang> ice_, then join the chinese channel
[13:15] <bazhang> jatt, stop that
[13:15] <Gnea> ice_: this channel speaks english only, #ubuntu-cn is probably what you need
[13:15] <ice_> i know
[13:16] <ferengee> Ileden, depending on which routes are configured for the destination ip address
[13:16] <ice_> I can speak engish
[13:16] <Gnea> you do now
[13:16] <fairuz> !find lunch
[13:16] <bazhang> ice_, this is ubuntu support only. chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[13:16] <sunit> ActionParsnip: I have told you problem regarding ssh access
[13:16] <ice_> fuck you
[13:17] <Sidewinder1> Bye bye
[13:17] <zvacet> !language | ice_
[13:17] <LjL> he's gone
[13:17] <Gnea> zvacet: notice how he left
[13:17] <Ileden> ActionParsnip, ferengee: hmm... so how do I read the table that route gives me? Also, is there a way to force an application to use a specific connection?
[13:17] <zvacet> even better
[13:17] <david234_> So nobody meets in my city to talk about Ubuntu, how disappointing
[13:18] <ferengee> Ileden, i use route -n
[13:18] <Gnea> david234_: maybe it's time you made that happen
[13:19] <compdoc> david234_, what would you say about Ubuntu if they did?
[13:19] <david234_> Any suggestions on how one might do that ?
[13:19] <ferengee> Ileden, depending on the most specific rule for the netmask and destination a gateway is chosen
[13:19] <Ileden> ferengee: I don't understand how to read that table.
[13:19] <Ileden> ferengee: ah, ok. that helps.
[13:19] <ScottKevill> Just upgraded 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS and my software RAID5 has come up.. weird. Some LVMs (on top) mounted, others didn't.
[13:19] <david234_> I'd bring my laptop and show others cool things I found on Ubuntu, learn new stuff and help newbs who are unsure
[13:20] <ferengee> Ileden, check the examples in the route man page
[13:20] <ScottKevill> These are 3TB drives.
[13:20] <ferengee> Ileden, to add a specific route for a specific range or destination
[13:20] <Ileden> ferengee: so it reads it in order of specificity of netmask. hm. so when one of my connections has mask of "<IP_ADDRESS>" it would always use that, but since it's so specific, it only matches one IP address (it's own)
[13:20] <Ileden> ferengee: or the other way around? ah ok, I'll read the man page.
[13:21] <david234_> I'd also grippe about my TV that is connected to Ubuntu and how it's resolution is terrible and that I wish I could afford an HD TV with a more powerful ubuntu box
[13:21] <ScottKevill> md0: detected capacity change from 0 to<PHONE_NUMBER>840 and md0: unknown partition table
[13:21] <ferengee> Ileden, see the  route add -net <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> gw ipx4 specific example
[13:21] <ScottKevill> Any known issues with GPT/3TB drives?
[13:22] <ScottKevill> There are scary looking errors of, md0 too small for target.
[13:22] <isianto> guys, have a question
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> isianto: ask away
[13:22] <isianto> can I make a local repository for ubuntu
[13:23] <isianto> like local repository in centos
[13:23] <bazhang> isianto, with apt-mirror
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> isianto: look into apt-mirror
[13:23] <isianto> ok, will do
[13:23] <kbni> Greetings #ubuntu. This is the closest freenode has to a hangout for girls, and I wanted some advice on using hair dye. The product I have does not specify whether or not my hair should be dry or wet before beginning. What is the norm with these things?
[13:23] <isianto> thanks
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> !ot | kbni
[13:23] <bazhang> kbni, wrong channel
[13:24] <kbni> I feel like you guys are missing out on an oppurtunity to be actually helpful.
[13:24] <bazhang> kbni, stop now please
[13:24] <maco> kbni: this channel is for ubuntu tech support only
[13:24] <Ileden> ferengee: ok, it's starting to make bit more sense now. Is there a (simple) way to force an application to use a specific connection instead of those provided by route table?
[13:24] <Gnea> kbni: I feel like you are missing the important part of a clue.
[13:24] <BluesKaj> 'Morning all
[13:24] <kbni> let's be honest ubuntu doesn't have many serious users who would require actual technical support
[13:24] <ferengee> Ileden, not that I know off
[13:25] <ferengee> Ileden, if the application use specific ports or packet tags you could let your firewall handle the routing
[13:25] <Ileden> kbni: why do you say "you guys" if you acknwledge this is a hangout for us girls?
[13:26] <bazhang> Ileden, he's gone lets move on

[13:26] <ScottKevill> Help.. RAID5 array broken after upgrading 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS.
[13:26] <Ileden> ferengee: ok, thanks!
[13:27] <david234_> so I tried to setup my laptop using the server style installation where Home and / are seperate partitions. Trouble is, the root partition slowly fills up over time and after about 1-2 months I am out of disk space. What should I do ?
[13:27] <BluesKaj> Ileden, if you're behind a router with manually configurable ports , then you cold try that
[13:27] <BluesKaj> er could
[13:27] <bazhang> david234_, resize it
[13:27] <LetsGo67> Hey everyone!  On my keyboard there are multimedia keys that do not work with Ubuntu 11.04, although they did on the first boot.  Please help me get these keys to work!
[13:27] <david234_> :P
[13:28] <bazhang> david234_, boot up a gparted live cd and do it
[13:28] <david234_> I was hoping for a magical config option that tells Ubuntu to stop wasting space, but I'll try your method

[13:28] <nubi_ubuntu> need some help....why my Ubuntu 9.10 running slow
[13:28] <COBOL2121> I have an awesome Kensington trackball and the two extra buttons do not work under Ubuntu.
[13:28] <LetsGo67> david234_ ?
[13:28] <Ileden> BluesKaj: no, the use case is more mobile than that. I connect with my netbook via phone GPRS and wifi, and would like to make ssh connection through the GPRS so if I move away from the wifi availability I don't drop them. Minor thing, really. :)
[13:28] <bazhang> nubi_ubuntu, thats end of life, upgrade to a supported version
[13:28] <bazhang> !upgrade > nubi_ubuntu
[13:28] <LetsGo67> COBOL2121: Why not?

[13:29] <david234_> How big of a disk should I leave for a root partition ?
[13:29] <zvacet> nubi_ubuntu: I don't know but upgrade to 10.4 because 9.10 is not supportred any more
[13:29] <COBOL2121> No driver I guess
[13:29] <david234_> How big should the root partition be?*
[13:29] <nubi_ubuntu> i ever try the 11.04 and the same thing
[13:29] <bazhang> david234_, how big is it now
[13:29] <david234_> 7gigs
[13:29] <BluesKaj> Ileden, ok, not familiar with rocketstick surfing
[13:29] <bazhang> david234_, try 15 then
[13:29] <HTDx64> hello
[13:30] <zvacet> david234_: 10-15 Gb if you have enough space
[13:30] <bazhang> nubi_ubuntu, upgrade then we can troubleshoot
[13:30] <wolf__> it's first time to learn programming which is better for me as start python or c++
[13:30] <dcorking> I found the answer to my question - to list broken packages 'aptitude search ~b' - however AFAICT that lists maverick broken packages, rather than ones that will be broken by cdromupgrade
[13:30] <bazhang> nubi_ubuntu, end of life means not supported here

[13:31] <david234_> What angers me is that the "Ubuntu System Requirements" page says 8gb
[13:31] <wolf__> which better for a beginner python or c++
[13:31] <nubi_ubuntu> but when i install 11.04 getting slow

[13:34] <Soothsayer> What would be a good way to run Internet Explorer 6,7,8 for web development testing?
[13:34] <Soothsayer> is a virtual machine the only good option?
[13:34] <MonkeyDust> Soothsayer: yes
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> LetsGo67: then you can use the keyboard shortcuts in preferences, or if you want to do special things then you can use things like the commands in ccsm
[13:35] <Soothsayer> VMware or Virtualbox ?
[13:35] <HTDx64> is kernel a package? :)
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: both
[13:35] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip, why both?

[13:38] <jasonmchristos> hi ActionParsnip
[13:38] <cebalrai> I'm trying to get unattended-upgrades to upgrade the firefox-stable ppa, but the Allowed-Origins line apparently isn't correct:  "LP-PPA-mozillateam-firefox-stable {UBUNTU_DIST}";
[13:38] <cebalrai> any ideas?
[13:39] <pinoyoragon> What might be the reasons why i dont have tty? i'm using a nvidia geforce gt 540m, in acer aspire 4750g
[13:39] <LetsGo67> ActionParsnip: Not sure.  i removed keytouch.  Only gnome on this PC.
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> cebalrai: remove it. You can add the ppa with: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
[13:40] <ScottKevill> My mdadm RAID5 array is reporting a size of 2.4 TB instead of 9 TB after upgrading Ubuntu.. any ideas?
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> LetsGo67: the keyboard shortcuts / settings in preferences can be used, click the item you want to assign to the button, then press the button
[13:40] <BluesKaj> pinoyoragon, do you have a terminal
[13:41] <cebalrai> ActionParsnip, the PPA is set up correctly, the allowed origins line in the 50unattended-upgrades isn't being recognized though
[13:41] <jovial> i have a question its not entirely about Software, i'm sorry for the bad English and if my question is not for here:
[13:41] <jovial> nip> isianto: ask away
[13:41] <jovial> I'm new in Linux, and i'm working at a computer service - fixing computers, mainly Windows based,and mostly hardware, so i'm sorry for the stupid questions, currently we are installing programs via network access to a Computer (with Windows XP). From time to time the connection is EXTREMELY slow, and the computer had began to crash (BSOD) so me and my colegues have decided to move all installations on a Linux based computer. After this descriptio
[13:41] <jovial> n, my question is:  Is there anything else except a simple File Share(if there is a Simple File share on linux) ? Do i have to use Samba or something like that to have access from a newly install Windows (i mean only drivers) to that "server" and will it be faster and stable ?
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> cebalrai: hmm, strange. Not sure then
[13:41] <FloodBot1> jovial: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> jovial: you can use samba to setup file sharing. It will need to be installed. 90% of that question wasn't useful and scrolled the channel
[13:42] <sipior> ScottKevill: might be useful to see the output from mdadm --detail and --query. could you pastebin that? also, which filesystem lives on top of the raid?
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> jovial: keep to the pure question in future please
[13:43] <ferengee> Ileden, you should have said that your program was ssh
[13:43] <jovial> sorry :)
[13:43] <jovial> Thanks
[13:43] <LetsGo67> ActionParsnip: It has to be run with sudo.
[13:43] <pinoyoragon> BlueKaj: yes
[13:43] <pipipopo> tes
[13:43] <ferengee> Ileden, ssh can bind on a specific address
[13:43] <ferengee> Ileden, see the ssh manpage
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> LetsGo67: no, run it as user
[13:43] <Sidewinder1> What is the difference between using tty (ctrl+alt+F1) and just opening up "Terminal"? I have wondered about this for a long while. TIA
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> LetsGo67: the settings are per user
[13:44] <ScottKevill> sipior: Will do. ext3 volumes on LVM on RAID.
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> ScottKevill: sounds like a pain
[13:44] <LetsGo67> ActionParsnip: It doesn't work on user.
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> LetsGo67: it should as you are setting the user settings
[13:44] <pinoyoragon> SideWinder1: i need to shutdown my X server, but when i do that, the screen freezes, what should happen is tty should appear
[13:45] <LetsGo67> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu is glitchy these days.  i'll have to log out and in just to check if it works.
[13:45] <pinoyoragon> BlueKaj: yes i have
[13:45] <BluesKaj> pinoyoragon, try , sudo service gdm,  stop in the terminal
[13:45] <ScottKevill> sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/610587/
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> LetsGo67: works here just fine
[13:46] <BluesKaj> pinoyoragon, ignore the comma
[13:46] <pinoyoragon> BluesKaj: i did and what happens is that the screen freezes instead of entering tty mode with a prompt
[13:47] <LetsGo67> ActionParsnip: Let's say it's still worth it to get my Windows refund.  It's $60 less for Microsoft.
[13:47] <BluesKaj> pinoyoragon, then you may have use the recovery kernel to boot into the tty
[13:47] <jasonmchristos> pinoyoragon, what is a pinoy?
[13:47] <Sidewinder1> pinoyoragon, I use X as well, I just tried it with no problems. (ctrl+alt+F1) and it opened, no prob; then alt+F7 took me right back to GUI... 10.04, LTS...?
[13:47] <pinoyoragon> jasonmchristos: filipino
[13:47] <LetsGo67> Logging off and in.  Yay Ubuntu!  Well, maybe after this song at least.
[13:48] <ScottKevill> sipior: And these errors from dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/610590/
[13:48] <jasonmchristos> so if its a female its a pinay?
[13:48] <pinoyoragon> SideWinder1: i gues my problem is with my graphics card driver
[13:48] <pinoyoragon> BluesKaj: how?
[13:48] <Sidewinder1> pino nvidia w/ nvidia non-free dirver here...
[13:49] <ScottKevill> ActionParsnip: More scary than a pain at this point.
[13:49] <pinoyoragon> BluesKaj: when i do that from grub (at boot time) it will not continue and just displays a blank screen
[13:49] <bazhang> jasonmchristos, that has nothing to do with ubuntu
[13:49] <sipior> ScottKevill: these are 750GB drives?
[13:49] <ScottKevill> sipior: No, they are 3TB drives.
[13:50] <BluesKaj> pinoyoragon, hold down the shift at the bios screen til you bet the grub menu then choose the recovery kernel , a dialog with some options will appear , choose repair broken packages , then a root tty is an optional choice in the list
[13:50] <sipior> ScottKevill: yeah, i wondered :-) don't suppose you an older livecd to boot off of to check the array?
[13:50] <BluesKaj> get
[13:51] <jasonmchristos> how do i know which usb flash drive is better then another, for ubuntu?
[13:51] <bazhang> !hcl > jasonmchristos
[13:51] <iceroot> jasonmchristos: what should be the difference on ubuntu?
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> jasonmchristos: they all use the standard interface, none are better than others
[13:51] <ScottKevill> sipior: Hmm, no, but that's a good idea to rule out any module weirdness.
[13:52] <ScottKevill> Actually, don't even have a CD drive in this machine atm.
[13:53] <uabn93> !nfs
[13:53] <uabn93> does anyone here use nfs?
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> !anyone
[13:54] <jasonmchristos> ActionParsnip, but i want it to be fast
[13:54] <sipior> ScottKevill: also, what are the dmesg lines for the drives when detected? i'm guessing they show up as ~800GB?
[13:54] <jasonmchristos> supported hardware doesnt talk about speed
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> jasonmchristos: they will go at the speed of the interface (USB 2 most likely)
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> jasonmchristos: you can get class 6 SD cards which are fast
[13:55] <ScottKevill> sipior: They are detected correctly as 3TB.
[13:55] <sipior> ScottKevill: you upgraded to a 64-bit ubuntu install, right?
[13:56] <uabn93> what are some of the drawbacks some of you have experienced with nfs? were you overall satisfied with it?
[13:56] <david234> What is the name of the tool that Ubuntu uses to automatically mount USB drives as they are connected ?
[13:56] <rob0917> How can I get the weather applet to appear in the upper panel in unity
[13:56] <ScottKevill> sipior: Yes. 2.6.32-31-generic #61-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 8 18:25:51 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
[13:57] <sipior> ScottKevill: and GUID partition tables?
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: wrong channel dude
[13:58] <uabn93> ActionParsnip: lol . Do you know of the right one?
[13:58] <ScottKevill> sipior: On the 3TB drives, yes. That was necessary (with parted) to partition them to full 3TB before adding to the RAID5 originally.
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: #ubuntu-offtopic may help
[13:59] <ScottKevill> sipior: parted output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/610595/
[13:59] <ScottKevill> (The three other drives are the same)
[13:59] <uabn93> ActionParsnip: cool. The nfs channel never has anyone available. thanks.
[13:59] <hobotroid> Hi, I recently switched to gnome 3 from unity (much better, wow), but none of the links in the top menu work... the menus themselves work, but when i go to System Settings, My Account, Network Settings, or even Data and Time Settings, nothing happens. I can launch these things from a terminal, but from the menu they're broken for some reason. Are there logs somewhere so i can see what's going on?
[13:59] <sipior> ScottKevill: yeah, i was grasping at straws :-) which version are you moving from/to?
[13:59] <bazhang> hobotroid, thats an unsupported PPA
[14:00] <Tetsuo55_2> lol! my battery indicator just told me i have 5200:00 hours of battery time left
[14:00] <bazhang> hobotroid, contact the PPA maintainer
[14:00] <ScottKevill> sipior: 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS.
[14:00] <hobotroid> bazhang: so it's probably just a bug they haven't fixed in the ppa? okay, thanks

[14:02] <prashant_123456> i m using ubuntu 11.04 but not getting desktop effects in classic session ??
[14:03] <bazhang> prashant_123456, what video card
[14:04] <prashant_123456> bazhang, onboard video card intel dg 41rq i was having it in ubuntu 10.04
[14:04] <sipior> ScottKevill: don't suppose you have a spare drive about, to verify that the system sees all 3TB?
[14:04] <bazhang> prashant_123456, lspci to paste.ubuntu.com please
[14:04] <prashant_123456> bazhang, ok
[14:05] <ScottKevill> sipior: Not sure I follow. A spare 3TB drive?
[14:06] <nubi_ubuntu> bazhang : which better upgrade or install new
[14:06] <bazhang> nubi_ubuntu, fresh install is much quicker from where you are
[14:06] <sipior> ScottKevill: just so. it might help to remove the raid and lvm aspects of the equation, and verify that the system can see a full 3TB drive.
[14:06] <bazhang> nubi_ubuntu, got a separate home partition?
[14:07] <nubi_ubuntu> what u mean
[14:07] <prashant_123456> bazhang, http://imagebin.org/154211
[14:07] <Master69> Hey guys can anyone tell me where can I get an Ext2 IFS partition that I can install for windows7 Home Premium?
[14:07] <bazhang> nubi_ubuntu, /home partition
[14:07] <ScottKevill> sipior: Ahh, unfortunately not.
[14:07] <prashant_123456> bazhang,
[14:07] <nubi_ubuntu> only 1
[14:08] <ScottKevill> sipior: I think I have another HD lying about that I could swap in and install 8.04 LTS again though.
[14:08] <bazhang> !home | nubi_ubuntu
[14:08] <bazhang> nubi_ubuntu, you can move it to one if you wish
[14:08] <ksinkar> how do i add the terminal to my nautilus?
[14:09] <prashant_123456> bazhang, http://imagebin.org/154211
[14:09] <sipior> ScottKevill: i'm afraid i'm at a loss to explain why it should stop working (it's easier to understand why it would not work in the first place). as a last measure, you *might* try rebuilding the raid array, and then restoring from backups.
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> ksinkar:  i think the unsupported (by this channel) Nautilus-elementry variant has that feature
[14:09] <ScottKevill> sipior: Interestingly enough, it brought up a couple of the LVMs just fine (presumably those that fit within the reduced range).
[14:09] <mathezula> what happened with hp's ubuntu-based 'mobile internet experience'?
[14:09] <bazhang> prashant_123456, no idea about that card, have you asked in #compiz
[14:09] <sipior> ScottKevill: very odd...
[14:09] <prashant_123456> bazhang, nope
[14:10] <prashant_123456> bazhang, just want to have normal effects not by compiz
[14:10] <ScottKevill> sipior: Agreed. I can only guess there's some kind of severe change in md-raid modules between the versions.
[14:10] <nubi_ubuntu> bazhang: ok bro i'll try
[14:10] <prashant_123456> bazhang, i was having 3 effects in ubuntu 10.04
[14:10] <bazhang> prashant_123456, effects are compiz
[14:10] <prashant_123456> bazhang, nope
[14:10] <prashant_123456> bazhang, i mean be default
[14:10] <bazhang> prashant_123456, then what do you mean by effects, thats compiz
[14:11] <sipior> ScottKevill: could be. i've generally thought of mdraid as pretty stable; no excuse for it not working across an LTS upgrade.
[14:11] <prashant_123456> bazhang, i mean by default
[14:11] <mcl0vin> i see in /var/log/messages 'sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Very big device. Trying to use READ CAPACITY(16)' when i plug in my micro SD and help please
[14:11] <ScottKevill> sipior: Yeah. :( It's the last thing I expected to have problems with.
[14:11] <bazhang> prashant_123456, ask in #compiz if your card supports effects
[14:11] <prashant_123456> bazhang, at ubuntu 10.04 i had rubber effect for windows without compiz
[14:11] <prashant_123456> bazhang, ok
[14:11] <bazhang> prashant_123456, no, thats compiz
[14:12] <prashant_123456> bazhang, ok
[14:12] <mofaloks> Please am very new to linux...is there a good downloadable book you can recommend for me ? Anyone ???
[14:12] <mcl0vin> am i asking in the wrong channel ???
[14:12] <mofaloks> I'm on 10.10 Lucid
[14:13] <sipior> ScottKevill: well, sorry i don't have any useful insights for you. i'd be very curious to hear about your solution, when you find one.
[14:13] <vistaswitch> Linux from scratch is a nice book. A bit wordy, though.
[14:13] <bazhang> !manual > mofaloks
[14:13] <Polysics> hello
[14:13] <ScottKevill> sipior: np, appreciate the efforts.

[14:13] <Polysics> me and some colleagues are working on a system taht spiders websites
[14:13] <Polysics> and the results go in a directory
[14:13] <mofaloks> ok, ubottu
[14:13] <vistaswitch> Eh, it teaches a lot about how linux works.
[14:13] <brian> brverg
[14:13] <Polysics> how can we setup permissions there so each one of us can run the command?
[14:14] <ScottKevill> sipior: For peace of mind, I'll try checking on it via 8.04 somehow. If it has not actually damaged the array, I'll feel a lot better.
[14:14] <Polysics> basically i would need the directory and everything in it to always be at 775
[14:14] <Guest30761> hello, anybody could help with flash players?
[14:14] <Polysics> the problems is that directories INSIDE the main one get created and deleted by the script

[14:19] <mannyaxo> my apologize
[14:19] <nerdy_kid> prashant_123456: any data dvd you burn in Ubuntu should work fine in Windows
[14:20] <prashant_123456> nerdy_kid, i heard some problems with the format in ubuntu 11.04
[14:20] <bazhang> nubi_ubuntu, would need to have you running it to troubleshoot; "it's slow " is very generic
[14:20] <mcl0vin> bazhang: i need help and no one is answering me
[14:21] <bazhang> mcl0vin, cursing wont get an answer
[14:21] <mcl0vin> what happen to the old ubuntu folks here, 3 yrs ago people here were fighting to help you :)
[14:21] <prashant_123456> nerdy_kid, r u sure ??
[14:21] <kronos321> Whats worse than a worm inside an apple???
[14:22] <bazhang> kronos321, offtopic chat in a support channel

[14:22] <nerdy_kid> prashant_123456: I haven't heard any problems with dvds/natty, as long as you use braseo to burn the dvd you
[14:22] <nerdy_kid> you should be all set.
[14:22]  * compdoc fights 3 ppl to help mcl0vin
[14:23] <prashant_123456> nerdy_kid, u mean i should use braseo
[14:23] <Luci4n0> compdoc: i lol'ed

[14:23] <nerdy_kid> prashant_123456: yeah, just burn it.  It should work fine.
[14:24] <prashant_123456> nerdy_kid, thanks

[14:25] <Dr_Willis> mcl0vin:  you could try 'dd_rescue' and 'ddrescue' to try to recover files from it. Ive qlso used 'dd' to zero out flash media and repartioned it..

[14:26] <nerdy_kid> anyone know how to get a program/script to run as user on resume from standby?
[14:27] <mcl0vin> Dr_Willis: i came here because i don't want to loose any chance of rescuing my files in that SD-card, all what i care about is the only pic i have for me and my mom with my dad that the only memory i have
[14:28] <mcl0vin> Dr_Willis: i know nothing about recovering that, so i don't want to mess that '0.0001%' that i can get it back
[14:28] <Galaxor> How do I set the pin priority of the virtualbox ppa?  In /etc/apt/preferences, I want to put Pin: release a=<something>  what is the value of <something>?
[14:29] <Galaxor> The sources.list line is deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/debfx/virtualbox/ubuntu lucid main
[14:30] <anli_> When I search for webmin in synaptic, I find nothing
[14:30] <anli_> pretty strange, isnt it?
[14:30] <bazhang> !webmin | anli_
[14:30] <Galaxor> The trouble is there is *something* that I installed from lucid-proposed.  So I added the lucid-proposed repo and then I set the pin-priority of the regular lucid repo to be higher than default, so that I wouldn't be installing everything from lucid-proposed.  So now, when I add ppas like this, if they only install packages that are also contained in the regular lucid repo, then the regular lucid repo is pinned higher.
[14:31] <en1gma> i have ubuntu 11.04 I386 Desktop and Win7 on a Single SSD....I did a BIOS update on my MB a few days ago and I can no longer boot into 11.04......So I tried to 11.04 LIVE CD and I get the same exact error "kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10" I also get this same error with the 10.10 LIVE CD.....I been coming here over last 3 days trying to resolve this....can someone actually help?
[14:31] <Galaxor> So I need to pin these ppas higher than *that*.  But I'm not sure what to put on that Pin: line to make this happen.
[14:31] <anli_> aha
[14:31] <anli_> wonder how bad it can get
[14:31] <en1gma> for 3 days coming here with no resolve
[14:32] <anli_> Isnt webmin the number one gui for administrating iptables?
[14:32] <en1gma> no one in here actually knows what is going on with that error?
[14:32] <anli_> i.e. netfilter
[14:32] <en1gma> "kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10"
[14:32] <bazhang> anli_, not with ubuntu and debian, no
[14:32] <anli_> bazhang: Is there a gui that could be used instead?
[14:33] <anli_> I dont want to sit with the command line
[14:33] <bazhang> anli_, ebox iirc
[14:33] <anli_> ok
[14:33] <en1gma> im gonna goto ##linux
[14:34] <damex> en1gma: what exactly you expect here to help you with?
[14:34] <en1gma> i have ubuntu 11.04 I386 Desktop and Win7 on a Single SSD....I did a BIOS update on my MB a few days ago and I can no longer boot into 11.04......So I tried to 11.04 LIVE CD and I get the same exact error "kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10" I also get this same error with the 10.10 LIVE CD.....I been coming here over last 3 days trying to resolve this....can someone actually help?
[14:34] <damex> no info about hardware what you've tryed to fix
[14:34] <damex> how you tryed*
[14:35] <anthony_dev> is there any flash dev apps for ubuntu? (with frames and things like that+ action script)?
[14:35] <Galaxor> Y'know, it seems that the sources.list line for the vbox ppa indicates that it is in the "lucid" repository as well.  So I don't think I can pin it separately from the regular repo.
[14:35] <mcl0vin> !dd_rescue
[14:35] <Galaxor> In that case, though, I don't know why it doesn't just straight-up upgrade.
[14:35] <Galaxor> apt-get update Ign's that repo.
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> !info dd_rescue
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> !find dd_rescue
[14:36] <mcl0vin> !ddrescue
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> note that 'dd_rescue' and 'ddrescue' are 2 differnt programs.. No idea why they got the confuseing package names
[14:36] <mcl0vin> Dr_Willis: i can't find any help one either one
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> mcl0vin:  check their man pages. and they do have homepages. I forget what one i used the other day to rescue 99% of the stuff from a 2TB usb hd.. but it worked.. took a week.. but it worked
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> I used the one that  you want to use a 'log' file with.
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> first google hit for 'ddrescue' :)
[14:38] <mingdao> !google ddrescue
[14:40] <Galaxor> Oh.  "virtualbox-ose has been kept back".  I'm gonna check the dependencies, by using apt-cache show virtualbox-ose, and see what deps are not met.
[14:40] <Dr_Willis> http://www.manpagez.com/info/ddrescue/ddrescue-1.9/
[14:40] <Dr_Willis> I think it was ddrescue i used last month.
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> and when using ddrescue be sure to use a logfile if you want it to work best.
[14:41] <mcl0vin> Dr_Willis: but how can i tell if it see my sd card or no , can you please help me identify that
[14:41] <mcl0vin> i can't find and ddrescue man
[14:42] <mcl0vin> opps i missed your link :) my apology
