[00:00] <Teth> *coughs* sorry, no harm was intended
[00:00] <zetheroo> r007: what is Client Hostname?
[00:01] <r007> zetheroo will be the ip or the hostname if you can resolve it
[00:01] <wcchandler> Does anyone know if EXT4 has good support for SSDs?
[00:01] <zetheroo> r007: so the name of the computer I am connecting to?
[00:01] <technikfreak> yep
[00:02] <r007> zetheroo only if it resolves otherwise you will need to add it to /etc/hosts or just connect to the ip
[00:02] <Gnea> Teth: you'll need to stop X, and in a console terminal login and type:  Xorg -configure   and it will create an xorg.conf in your ~ which you can then edit and put into /etc/X11/
[00:02] <soulzie> right, so maverick server is *not* reliable then?
[00:02] <coz_> wcchandler,    http://thunk.org/tytso/blog/2009/03/01/ssds-journaling-and-noatimerelatime/
[00:03] <Gnea> soulzie: better asked in #ubuntu-server
[00:03] <coz_> wcchandler,    http://blog.loxal.net/2009/04/tuning-ext4-for-performance-with.html
[00:03] <zetheroo> r007: I am getting an error ... name or service not known
[00:03] <r007> zetheroo what are yo using?
[00:04] <wcchandler> coz_ Much thanks!
[00:04] <zetheroo> r007: does domain need to be starting with "smb"?
[00:04] <maxb> soulzie: I think you're being a bit melodramatic, pronouncing that the entire distro is unreliable because you're having problems figuring out how to quote a filename in bash
[00:04] <Very_Cool> Samba issue with read speed.  winxp can write to samba server at 55mb/s...but can only read at 25mb/s.  Ive been messing with buffers, tcp_nodelay, hard drive read aheads etc...   any ideas, comments, suggestions (ie Is this normal for samba)?
[00:04] <zetheroo> r007: Client Hostname  PC004
[00:04] <coz_> wcchandler,  no problem you can also googl   ext4  with ssd
[00:04] <r007> zetheroo if you ping the domain does it resolve to an ip
[00:04] <Gnea> maxb: still, it is a question better asked in #ubuntu-server
[00:04] <technikfreak> zetheroo are you able to ping PC004?
[00:05] <Gnea> Very_Cool: #samba can help you out with that
[00:05] <zetheroo> technikfreak: yes
[00:05] <wcchandler> coz_ I was trying but I wasn't getting anything good.  I may have been too specific.  :/ ha
[00:05] <Very_Cool> Gnea: ty
[00:05] <technikfreak> with the name or the ip adress?
[00:05] <zetheroo> r007: not sure what the domain is exactly ...
[00:05] <zetheroo> technikfreak: ping pc004
[00:06] <coz_> wcchandler,  yeah general info search strings tend to yield the better results
[00:06] <zetheroo> PING pc004.arev.local (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data.
[00:06] <r007> zetheroo just use the ip as the host
[00:06] <zetheroo> technikfreak: ^^
[00:06] <soulzie> maxb erm... I am talking about a newly installed server , manages somehow to create a directory called (null)
[00:06] <soulzie> you try and creaTE TRHAT and remove it perhaps?
[00:06] <coz_> wcchandler,   you can then be more specific according the hits from the generalized search
[00:06] <r007> zetheroo you need to use  pc004.arev.local then
[00:06] <soulzie> I'd say that is* a cause for 'melodrama' when it comes to a server?
[00:06] <zetheroo> r007: but won't that change from time to time with DHCP going?
[00:07] <zetheroo> ok
[00:07] <technikfreak> maybe the dns server will be add the prefix themself?
[00:07] <r007> zetheroo yes the IP will so just use the hostname  pc004.arev.local
[00:07] <snow_ru> zeth,  this is off topic, please join #network
[00:07] <snow_ru> zetheroo,
[00:07] <zetheroo>  r007: and is the domain "smb://arevdomain/"?
[00:08] <soulzie> I would like to see you manage to replicate it maxb , at least then it would be a bug with linux and not the server?
[00:08] <r007> zetheroo no the smb:// is telling it to use samba
[00:08] <zetheroo> snow_ru: I assure you this is very on-topic ;)
[00:08] <maxb> soulzie: So, rmdir '(null)', and maybe file a bug on whatever created it.
[00:08] <snow_ru> !topic
[00:08] <zetheroo> r007: is .... arev.local ... the domain?
[00:08] <soulzie> ah it works with quotres? if it does, I will apologise Immediately for my idiocy!
[00:08] <technikfreak> so guys i wish you a good night or day (my local time is 1 am over..)
[00:08] <technikfreak> sorry for posting personal related things an not technical...
[00:08] <r007> zetheroo pc004.arev.local is the domain
[00:09] <zetheroo> snow_ru: I am using Ubuntu  ... this is about Ubuntu ... thanks
[00:09] <zetheroo> r007: ok
[00:09] <zetheroo> r007: so it's both the domain and the hostname
[00:09] <realeyes> hey so, about that 200 lines of code that optimizes your system; Does that work for Ubuntu 10.10?
[00:09] <snow_ru> these thing are not well manipulated in ubuntu
[00:10] <r007> zetheroo yes
[00:10] <soulzie> maxb... ok it was an anomolous action which with quotes is possible (was cairo dock creating it) my bad... I once created such a illogical forbidden directory in dos once, and it screwed up my computer .. as it cudnt even format the disk (back then) due to two identical named dirs in one place.. hence why I got this same 'panic'
[00:10] <soulzie> fine I am melodramatic lol :(
[00:10] <soulzie> thanks anyway
[00:11] <soulzie> which reminds me, why am i even bothering wiht openbopx on this serv hehe :/

[00:32] <zetheroo> r007: thanks for your help ;)\
[00:33] <jrib> Cukier: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)

[00:33] <nyquist333> Does fsck report false errors when run on a mounted drive partition with -n?

[00:42] <muelli> syzygy: network manager. I have an icon in my notification area.
[00:42] <ubuntuguy> Because I'm not understanding it
[00:43] <nyquist333> I had to repair my hd after a bad shutdown. Not sure it it worked. Does fsck report false errors when mounted during recovery? It is fine when I run fsck from a live flash drive.
[00:43] <soicon> ubuntuguy: better here, so people could see and help if necessary
[00:43]  * syzygy going to look for network manager
[00:43] <r007> djwattz define nothing happened?
[00:43] <soicon> ubuntuguy: click open already?
[00:43] <ubuntuguy> Alright
[00:43] <muelli> r007: no, I don't think so. But what do you want to do anyway?
[00:43] <ubuntuguy> I did what you told me to do

[00:43] <soicon> ubuntuguy: and the folder has music files inside?
[00:43] <ubuntuguy> but it's not doing anything
[00:43] <ubuntuguy> Yes
[00:43] <FloodBot3> ubuntuguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:43] <r007> muelli nothing just thinking for djwattz
[00:44] <soicon> ubuntuguy: choose File / Import folder
[00:44] <soicon> ubuntuguy: not Import files
[00:44] <muelli> r007: No. djwattz just has to move the file out of the way.
[00:44] <ubuntuguy> I mean folder, I did folder not files
[00:44] <ubuntuguy> And then I click the folder with music and it shows the music (unclickable) and that's it
[00:45] <soicon> ubuntuguy: click open one more time
[00:45] <ubuntuguy> There's no open
[00:45] <Pacifica> divided, what do you see in the syslog when you plug it in?
[00:45] <ubuntuguy> I'm able to click the file
[00:45] <ubuntuguy> BUt there's no open
[00:45] <r007> muelli surely he can just comment it out of the apt sources list
[00:45] <divided> Pacifica: sorry got kicked
[00:45] <soicon> ubuntuguy: please sure that you choose Import folder
[00:46] <soicon> ubuntuguy: please do it again ;)
[00:46] <ubuntuguy> I just did it again
[00:46] <ubuntuguy> I clicked
[00:46] <ubuntuguy> import folder
[00:46] <ubuntuguy> and then music section
[00:46] <Pacifica> divided, did you see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1472475
[00:46] <FloodBot3> ubuntuguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:46] <ubuntuguy> than my music folder,

[00:48] <divided> Pacifica: thanks I'll take a look at that
[00:48] <ubuntuguy> I click music- import folder- music section- my folder and click it
[00:48] <nyquist333> does anyone know or can they confim if a READ-ONLY fsck on a mounted hd using "sudo fsck -n /dev/sda1" reports false errors?
[00:48] <ubuntuguy> THen it shows all my files in folder but I can't import them
[00:48] <djwattz> muelli it wont move it just moakes a copy of its self
[00:48] <ubuntuguy> It just shows unclickable files
[00:48] <soicon> ubuntuguy: ok, so try another way, open your music folder, open rhythm-box and choose all the music file in you are folder , drag and drop it into the rhythmbox
[00:49] <Nach0z> hey i've got a question about Chmod... if I have a folder that I want everyone to be able to write to, including a program that will not run as root, how would I do that? the ubuntu page on chmod hasn't been much help to me
[00:49] <muelli> djwattz: ... open a terminal, do "sudo mv $filename /tmp/".
[00:49] <ubuntuguy> And then
[00:49] <muelli> Nach0z: chmod a+w myfolder
[00:49] <Nach0z> thanks
[00:49] <nyquist333> Nach0z - set others to write.
[00:49] <muelli> Nach0z: in fact, chmod a+rwx myfolder.
[00:50] <ubuntuguy> I'm playing my music on rhythmbox, but I want to save my music files there
[00:50] <ubuntuguy> Not just play
[00:50] <ubuntuguy> I want to save them
[00:50] <muelli> ubuntuguy: you don't save files "in rhyhtmbox". It just plays them.
[00:50] <edbian> ubuntuguy, You don't save files in a program.
[00:50] <pokoko222> wtf i cant find a way to play rm in ubuntu for an hour
[00:50] <pokoko222> fuckin ubuntu
[00:50] <muelli> !real | pokoko222
[00:50] <ubuntuguy> I thought you had the ability to save your songs in rhythmbox...
[00:50] <soicon> ubuntuguy: choose Music / Playlist / New ...
[00:51] <r007> Nach0z chmod 777 directory
[00:51] <soicon> ubuntuguy: then name it
[00:51] <ubuntuguy> Alriht
[00:51] <edbian> ubuntuguy, You don't save files in a program.  You use a program to save them some where on the HDD perhaps.  But they are not inside the program.
[00:51] <divided> can i update from 10.04 to 10.10 from the command line?
[00:51] <ubuntuguy> OH
[00:51] <muelli> divided: yes.
[00:51] <ubuntuguy> Soicon, after you name them?
[00:51] <divided> muelli: is it do-release-upgrade?
[00:52] <r007> divided yes you can use apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:52] <soicon> ubuntuguy: drag and drop music files into that playlist
[00:52] <muelli> divided: don't listen to r007. do-release-upgrade sounds appropriate.
[00:52] <r007> ooh
[00:52] <ubuntuguy> And they will be there forever until I delete them from playlist?

[00:55] <ubuntuguy> Explain please
[00:55] <Pacifica> divided, yes, or add 2.6.34 yourself
[00:55] <ubuntuguy> xD
[00:55] <djwattz> it says no such file but i see it in the / in the gui
[00:55] <Pacifica> divided, there might be a backport to 10.04 for kernel 2.6.34
[00:55] <ubuntuguy> Like I wanted to save my songs like you save them on itunes
[00:55] <ubuntuguy> for example
[00:55] <soicon> ubuntuguy: even when you change the file path or delete or move the files , it cannot play your music anymore
[00:55] <divided> Pacifica: i'm a nub when it comes to the kernel stuff, i'll just update to 10.10
[00:55] <djwattz> mv: cannot stat `ubuntu-tweak-stable.list.d': No such file or directory
[00:55] <ubuntuguy> Oh, because I wanted to like save my music like you would on itunes
[00:56] <Pacifica> divided, please first make sure that what you're experiencing matches what you're reading there :-)
[00:56] <r007> djwattz your using a relative path are you in that directory?
[00:56] <muelli> djwattz: put the full filename there. i.e. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak....
[00:56] <divided> Pacifica: some of it does
[00:56] <soicon> ubuntuguy: I've used itunes so far, but I guess we cannot do like that on rhythmbox
[00:56] <earthmeLon> I currently have ubuntu 10.10 installed with / on one partition and /home/ on an encrypted partition.  I would like to install ubuntu 10.10 again and keep the /home/ partition as is.  Will I run into any trouble because of the encryption or is the installer 'smart-enough' to help me with that?
[00:56] <Pacifica> divided, for instance: If your wifi adapter is WUSB54GC, then the fix seems to be to blacklist the rt2500usb driver; see the following thread.
[00:56] <Pacifica> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9236202
[00:56] <ubuntuguy> Alright, thanks for the help man!
[00:57] <kitrana> whats the command to reload the sound drivers
[00:57] <Pacifica> divided, I'd read all the posts carefully before upgrading.
[00:57] <kitrana> specifically pulseaudio
[00:57] <djwattz> sudo mv/etc/apt/sources.list.d ubuntu-tweak-stable.list.d /tmp
[00:57] <djwattz> ? rigt
[00:57] <divided> Pacifica:  I will thanks, I'll let you know how it goes
[00:57] <Pacifica> divided, good luck!
[00:58] <r007> djwattz space between mv and /
[00:58] <kitrana> djwattz: if your looking to move a file i was about to say that
[00:58] <djwattz> so  sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list.d /tmp
[00:58] <GanonKiller> is combat arms still being developed for meerkat?
[00:58] <kitrana> yes djwattz
[00:59] <Agent001> i  got a font issue on ubuntu
[00:59] <kitrana> whats the command to makie pulseaudio reload
[00:59] <raggi> why would all hot processes on a multicore machine all bias to one cpu?
[00:59] <r007> djwattz isnt it ubuntu-tweak-stable.list and not list.d
[01:00] <djwattz> yaa list not .d
[01:00] <djwattz> so sudo mv/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list /tmp
[01:00] <r007> you might need a / after tmp
[01:00] <GringoStar> It look less busy now so I'll ask again: I 've set my screensaver to never and the power management to never sleep in 10.04 but it continue to sleep after 15 minutes download or movie or game...
[01:01] <djwattz> keeps saying command not found
[01:01] <Styper> Hey there, is there a way to auto-load the Screensaver as soon as the computer starts?
[01:01] <divided> what's the command to see what version aka 10.04?
[01:01] <r007> djwattz try cp /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list /tmp/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list
[01:02] <r007> djwattz then rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list
[01:02] <GringoStar> How can I disable monitor sleep?
[01:02] <muelli> no r007. djwattz has not put a space between "mv" and the file.. *sigh*
[01:02] <muelli> GringoStar: try running the gnome-screensaver with --debug and check what it says.
[01:02] <r007> fail
[01:02] <djwattz> the cp one worked
[01:02] <GringoStar> thanks
[01:03] <djwattz> the one r007 didnt work
[01:03] <r007> you just said it did make your mind up :)
[01:03] <djwattz> it says it cannot remove
[01:03] <r007> and it should btw in fact both methods should
[01:04] <r007> you need to sudo
[01:04] <djwattz> oh ok
[01:05] <djwattz> so sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list
[01:05] <djwattz> ?
[01:05] <r007> yup
[01:06] <djwattz> k it look like it took the command
[01:06] <djwattz> ha ha it worked
[01:06] <djwattz> thanxs guys
[01:06] <r007> actually to be on the safe side use rm and not rm -rf in case you type it wrong
[01:06] <GanonKiller> i still cant get combat arms to work in linux
[01:06] <r007> np
[01:07] <GanonKiller> i still cant get combat arms to work in WINE
[01:07] <GringoStar> In the screensaver settings, I've uncheck all box and put the slider to it max but continue to sleep. When I try the --debug, I got this: ** (gnome-screensaver:1876): WARNING **: Screensaver already running in this session
[01:08] <r007> !ubottu | wien GranonKiller
[01:08] <dragonbyte> Is there a handy chart for LTS support?
[01:08] <r007> !ubottu | wine GranonKiller
[01:08] <muelli> GringoStar: so use gnome-screensave-command --quit or so to get rid of the running instance

[01:08] <idrankwhat> Hello! Anyone running tweetdeck on ubuntu? Second question, how do I change directories in terminal. I am familiar with the old text DOS but not familiar with linux.
[01:08] <djwattz> thanx muelli and r007 saveed my life
[01:09] <muelli> idrankwhat: it's the very say
[01:09] <muelli> *same
[01:09] <idrankwhat> cd
[01:09] <idrankwhat> cd C:\etc
[01:10] <r007> idrankwhat no its / in Linux
[01:10] <r007> and theres no drive letters
[01:10] <idrankwhat> cd C:/etc
[01:10] <r007> so its cd /etc
[01:11] <rinku_kokiri> anyone know why i can't  unzip a bz2 file ??
[01:11] <microm> I have spend 3 days one the same problem: connecting a ubuntu box to my dd-wrt WRT54G router (wireless works flawlessly in gentoo)
[01:11] <idrankwhat> ok cool, so I'm not too unfamiliar with it. now my first question again, is there a tweedeck for ubuntu?
[01:12] <muelli> !details | rinku_kokiri
[01:12] <r007> rinku_kokiri what syntax are you using?
[01:12] <augdawg> where can i go to learn about hacking on unity using vala?
[01:12] <muelli> augdawg: the internet
[01:12] <rinku_kokiri> tar xvfj dolphin-2.0.i686.tar.bz2
[01:12] <rinku_kokiri> bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
[01:12] <rinku_kokiri> tar: Child returned status 2
[01:12] <rinku_kokiri> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[01:12] <FloodBot3> rinku_kokiri: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:12] <nit-wit> augdawg, Google
[01:12] <muelli> rinku_kokiri: do a "file" on your file.
[01:13] <rinku_kokiri> dolphin-2.0.i686.tar.bz2: gzip compressed data, from Unix
[01:13] <r007> rinku_kokiri what about gunzip?
[01:13] <muelli> rinku_kokiri: there you go.
[01:13] <muelli> rinku_kokiri: generally: Don't try to be smart. A "tar xvf $file" will do.
[01:14] <Gnea> rinku_kokiri: tar xvf file.tar[.gz|.bz2]
[01:14] <shmup> so i noticed that when i have xchat set to start in my 'startup applications' it won't start with the system tray icon
[01:14] <augdawg> nit-wit muelli i guess i should have tried that first. anyway heres a great post if found
[01:14] <augdawg> http://askubuntu.com/questions/7797/which-is-the-preferred-environment-to-start-hacking-unity
[01:14] <shmup> do apps load differently when ran from "applications startup' ? i know they're ran through terminal but..
[01:14] <shmup> i don't quite get it
[01:14] <GringoStar> I don't get any result from the --debug. (no error)
[01:14] <nit-wit> augdawg, not interested in hacking  but thanks anyway,do you mean cracking?
[01:15] <idrankwhat> I tried to download adobe air but it would only give me a spanish website for a linux version. Any ideas?
[01:15] <Khisanth> shmup: in theory it should not but in this case it is probably because by putting it there xchat ends up starting before the notification area has been created
[01:15] <rinku_kokiri> gzip: dolphin-2.0.i686.tar.bz2: unknown suffix -- ignored
[01:15] <Fredricho> hi
[01:15] <Fredricho> how do i convert a mdb file to csv?
[01:15] <augdawg> nit-wit just thought you might be interested. also, i just thought it might be interesting to write unity places and such.
[01:15] <rinku_kokiri> and tar xvf complains it's not a tar file
[01:15] <shmup> Khisanth, d'aw.. that makes sense.
[01:15] <Gnea> rinku_kokiri: mv dolphin-2.0.i686.tar.bz2 dolphin-2.0.i686.tar.gz
[01:16] <muelli> rinku_kokiri: so it's probably not a tar file.
[01:16] <shmup> Khisanth, probably nothing I can do, right? besides just starting xchat manually
[01:16] <Gnea> obviously, if it's labeled wrong, rename it
[01:16] <nit-wit> augdawg, yeah sounds cool I just have other things going on.
[01:16] <rinku_kokiri> allright
[01:16] <rinku_kokiri> thx
[01:17] <Styper> is there a way to auto-load the Screensaver as soon as the computer starts?
[01:17] <idrankwhat> is there a newbie channel for really new people? I don't understand a lot of the lingo yet.
[01:17] <r007> rinku_kokiri gunzip dolphin-2.0.i686.tar.bz
[01:17] <rinku_kokiri> i got it by renaming it to gz
[01:18] <Khisanth> shmup: hmm there is a hackish solution that might work, then there is patching xchat ...
[01:18] <shmup> Khisanth, lets start with the hackish solution :P
[01:18] <Khisanth> shmup: do you know about the startup.txt file for xchat?
[01:19] <shmup> well..
[01:19] <shmup> i know it's not in .xchat2 :P
[01:19] <Khisanth> it's not there by default but you can create it
[01:19] <shmup> oh wow, really?
[01:19] <shmup> and isnt there some /set_gui command for xchat?
[01:19] <shmup> that places an icon in the systemtray/notification area
[01:19] <shmup> well anyways, go on with what you're thinking
[01:21] <djwattz>  muelli and r007 another question i wana install my card reader in my laptop
[01:21] <jrmcm> i need help connecting my mobile broadband device from clearwire
[01:21] <Khisanth> shmup: http://pastebin.com/2TDyRgAw you might have to adjust the 10 and 11
[01:21] <thunkee> Fredricho: chekc mdb tools ... worked for me
[01:21] <shmup> wonderful
[01:21] <shmup> that makes sense
[01:22] <shmup> didnt know xchat had a built in timer, either
[01:22] <Khisanth> /help timer
[01:22] <muelli> !details |  jrmcm
[01:22] <shmup> i will test this as soon as night comes in minecraft ^^
[01:22] <Fredricho> thunkee
[01:23] <Fredricho> how do i sudo aptget it?
[01:23] <divided> how can i tell what version of ubuntu i'm running
[01:23] <shmup> you sudo apt-get install/remove/update/upgrade
[01:23] <shmup> in the terminal
[01:23] <shmup> OH
[01:23] <neurochromexx> l
[01:23] <schultza> when is the daily update sources going to be ready?
[01:23] <shmup> you asked how you sudo apt-get something in particular, sorry
[01:23] <edbian> divided, Go to the help menu.  It's in there.
[01:23] <shmup> i thought you were asking how to sudo apt-get ^^
[01:23] <edbian> divided, or rather, "about Ubuntu"
[01:24] <muelli> divided: lsb_release =a
[01:24] <muelli> -a even
[01:24] <divided> edbian: sorry, from command line
[01:24] <Gnea> schultza: in about 5 years
[01:24] <edbian> divided, I'm not sure there is a way...
[01:24] <jrmcm> When I plug in the USB device its not recognized, and using the mobile broadband wizard in ubuntu clear or clearwire is not an option. I am running 10.04 on kernal 2.6.32-26
[01:24] <r007> dived cat /etc/issue
[01:24] <muelli> edbian, divided: there is. lsb_release
[01:24] <r007> divided cat /etc/issue
[01:24] <schultza> thanks.
[01:24] <muelli> divided: don't listen to r007.
[01:25] <r007> lol whatever
[01:25] <r007> type it then nvm dont listen
[01:25] <edbian> divided, lsb_release -a
[01:26] <GringoStar> brb
[01:26] <allaire> anybody have a clue why in my ftp when I upload a file, the owner is  "1004" and the group is "1005"? The user is called "brico", same for the group… when I do ls -l I get brico:brico, really weird...
[01:26] <edbian> r007, Why don't you look what's in the file.
[01:26] <divided> edbian, muelle, r007 thanks but cat /etc/issue works too
[01:26] <r007> cat /etc/issue will show you what version
[01:26] <edbian> I believe all it says is "Debian Testing"  Did they change it? (I'm not on an Ubuntu machine)
[01:26] <r007> edbian they changed it :)
[01:27] <divided> with lsb_release -a i see i have 10.04, but when i do-release-upgrade, it won't update to 10.10 - why?
[01:28] <edbian> divided, By default Ubuntu only looks for LTS releases
[01:28] <Flannel> divided: `cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades` does it say "Prompt=lts" or Prompt=normal?
[01:28] <edbian> divided, system -> admin -> software sources to change it
[01:28] <r007> divided what about apt-get -u dist-upgrade?
[01:28] <edbian> divided, What Flannel said by cli
[01:29] <divided> edbian, Flannel: Prompt=lts
[01:29] <djwattz> anyone know how to install a memory card reader driver in ubuntu 10.10
[01:29] <edbian> divided, Change it to normal.
[01:29] <divided> r007: it still says nothing available
[01:29] <Flannel> divided: That means it'll only try and upgrade from LTS to LTS, you can change it to normal if you want to be on the six month cycle
[01:30] <r007> divided oh ok never tried it
[01:30] <mongrul> HI
[01:30] <muelli> djwattz: yes. You just plug the thing in.
[01:30] <divided> edbian, Flannel: awesome thanks, it's getting the new one
[01:31] <snake> how do i change the default screensaer daemon in ubuntu 10.04 to xscreensaver
[01:31] <shmup> Khisanth, it worked. Much thanks. ^^
[01:31] <muelli> Snake: I think you don't.
[01:31] <shmup> Actually, I do have another question related to XChat.. mind if I PM you?
[01:31] <edbian> snake, install xscreensaver, remove gnome-screensaver restart the machine
[01:31] <shmup> It's something I've been wondering.
[01:32] <snake> muelli, it's linux, you can do anything.
[01:32] <snake> edbian, thanks
[01:32] <muelli> :D
[01:32] <Fredricho> hi
[01:32] <Fredricho> how do i convert a mdb file to csv?
[01:32] <djwattz> muelli i did that it doesnt do anything
[01:32] <The_rogue_smiler> Why does it take 10 minutes to open my email on ubuntu?
[01:33] <The_rogue_smiler> my connection is fine btw
[01:33] <shmup> 10 whole minutes?
[01:33] <The_rogue_smiler> yes
[01:33] <muelli> The_rogue_smiler: you mean evolution?
[01:33] <edbian> The_rogue_smiler, How are you viewing your email?  In a browser?
[01:33] <jrmcm> I need help connecting a mobile broadband device from clear. The device is a USB stick and nothing happens when i plug it in. I have tried using the mobile broadband setup and neither clear or clearwire are options. I am running ubuntu 10.04.1 on kernal 2.6.32-26
[01:33] <Fredricho> hi
[01:33] <The_rogue_smiler> yes edbian

[01:34] <The_rogue_smiler> quicker than my mail
[01:34] <edbian> The_rogue_smiler, Have you tried other browsers?
[01:34] <The_rogue_smiler> but they are still slow. I know it isnt my connection because the other computers have no trouble
[01:34] <muelli> janisozaur: I *think* you have to configure PolicyKit. I've seen a GUI for that somewhere in administration.
[01:34] <The_rogue_smiler> no I have not
[01:34] <virfrojan> i have questions. how to run the application with auto
[01:35] <janisozaur> muelli, do I have to install it or it comes with default install?
[01:35] <thunkee> Fredricho: http://tinyurl.com/32h73dm
[01:35] <muelli> janisozaur: dunno. but I'm sure google knows that ;-)
[01:36] <r007> janisozaur its asking for the password for a good reason :)
[01:36] <janisozaur> r007, I'm aware of that. but that is not an answer to my question.
[01:36] <Fredricho> no srsly
[01:37] <Fredricho> im a novie linux user
[01:37] <r007> janisozaur I wasnt answering your question more making a point
[01:37] <Fredricho> i want something that will convert my files to csv and back to mdb
[01:37] <Fredricho> My HW is 1 wk overdue because of nerdy linux
[01:37] <janisozaur> r007, then consider me aware of your point and I'd be more glad if you made a point about a solution to my question
[01:37] <muelli> Fredricho: what is a .mdb file?
[01:37] <edbian> Fredricho, yes, what is .mdb?
[01:38] <Fredricho> microsoft acces file
[01:38] <janisozaur> muelli, ms access databse, I believe
[01:38] <Fredricho> Microsoft DataBase
[01:38] <edbian> Fredricho, install python and eric.  This program can convert your files but the configuration is quite extensive...
[01:38] <Uplifted> ballinn
[01:38] <Fredricho> i want a simple way plz
[01:38] <r007> .mdb microsoft access eww
[01:38] <youlun> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Access
[01:38] <janisozaur> Fredricho, what are you trying to do?
[01:38] <Fredricho> convert mdb to csv
[01:39] <muelli> janisozaur: there is a polkit-gnome package. You might want to check that out'
[01:39] <Fredricho> r007: dont insult
[01:39] <blackstar> quick question, is Linux Mint Debian better than Ubuntu?
[01:39] <r007> Fredricho wasnt insulting you
[01:39] <janisozaur> Fredricho, I've done that once with mono for a friend, but it was a long time ago and I doubt i still have this project lying around. But it should be easy
[01:39] <Fredricho> dont insult windows
[01:39] <thunkee> ok i post ist :) ... mdb-export db.mdb customers >> customers.csv
[01:39] <r007> Fredericho give me a good reason not to :)

[01:41] <Fredricho> yes

[01:42] <Fredricho> i have no time to start over
[01:42] <edbian> Fredricho, .csv is raw text.  is .mdb raw?  Just change the extension manually
[01:42] <muelli> jrmcm: plug it out, do a "sudo dmesg -c", plug it back in, do a "sudo dmesg -c" again and pastebin the output.
[01:42] <janisozaur> !info polkit-gnome
[01:42] <janisozaur> muelli, there is no such package
[01:42] <jrmcm> k will do
[01:42] <muelli> janisozaur: apparently I've still got that package installed. Sorry.
[01:43] <thunkee> Fredricho: in general you cant convert .mdb to .csv ... because .mdb is a databse type and .csv is a table type ... if you want .csv you need to know the tables in the .mdb und do the convert
[01:43] <jrmcm> what do you mean pastebin?
[01:43] <depechemod99> y'a quelqun
[01:43] <muelli> janisozaur: there is policykit-desktop-privileges though. You might check that out and adapt.

[01:43] <djwattz> anyone know how to mount a internal sd card reader in unbuntu 10.10
[01:43] <r007> janisozaur you can always create a root account or run gksudo nautilus
[01:43] <Fredricho> like rates, returns and personal data?
[01:44] <Flannel> edbian, Fredricho: mdb is a binary file, I'm pretty sure.  There is a tool though (at least one, this is first google result): http://nialldonegan.me/2007/03/10/converting-microsoft-access-mdb-into-csv-or-mysql-in-linux/

[01:44] <muelli> djwattz: plug it out, do a "sudo dmesg -c", plug it back in, do a "sudo dmesg -c" again and pastebin the output.
[01:44] <Flannel> Fredricho: mdbtools are in the repositories (as 'mdbtools') too
[01:44] <hinojosa> Hi. I'm trying to boot my Acer Aspire One to Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook but am getting a boot error (follows)
[01:44] <janisozaur> r007, on one hand you say that it ask for my passwords for a reason, yet on the other hand you suggest such a 'solution'. please, make up your mind
[01:44] <janisozaur> asks*
[01:45] <r007> janisozaur create a root account and use su
[01:45] <hinojosa> (initramfs) mount: mounting aufs on /root failed: Invalid argument
[01:45] <janisozaur> r007, that's not a solution
[01:45] <hinojosa> and I'm left at the (initramfs) prompt
[01:45] <r007> sudo mount
[01:45] <hinojosa> suggestions?
[01:45] <r007> janisozaur be more specific then
[01:46] <janisozaur> r007, I want to permanently auhtenticate a specific action
[01:46] <miststlkr> I would like to assign a keystroke to "bring me to the desktop" rather than using the indicator.  I know how to set keystrokes up, but not the command to use.  could anyone help me out?
[01:46] <ubuntuguy> Can someone tell me how to restart my panel, I removed my battery and wifi icon by accident
[01:46] <muelli> miststlkr: ctrl+alt+d doesn't work for you?
[01:47] <janisozaur> ubuntuguy, $ killall gnome-panel
[01:47] <xangua> !panels | ubuntuguy
[01:47] <miststlkr> ah!   so it does.  Thanks muelli!
[01:47] <thunkee> Fredricho: my be better ... what do you want to do with that .mdb and .csv files?
[01:47] <Fredricho> ok
[01:47] <Fredricho> ok
[01:47] <hinojosa> are there known issues w/Ubuntu 10.10 for netbooks?
[01:47] <ubuntuguy> Error
[01:47] <ubuntuguy> Is that code correct?
[01:47] <Fredricho> convert them
[01:48] <janisozaur> ubuntuguy, it should just reappear, in case it doesn't, just execute "gnome-panel"
[01:48] <xangua> ubuntuguy: the on that i gave you, yes
[01:48] <xangua> one*
[01:48] <vinoo> my ethernet connection stops work just for some minutes after i turn my notebook on, i'm using 10.10, any idea?
[01:48] <ubuntuguy> Xangu, give code again, it didn't work
[01:48] <janisozaur> xangua, I believe he doesn't want to reset his panel and just restart it
[01:48] <muelli> vinoo: how do you know "it stops working"?
[01:48] <ubuntuguy> Said command not found
[01:48] <janisozaur> !tab | ubuntuguy
[01:49] <ubuntuguy> I'm so confused lol sorry
[01:49] <djwattz> muelli i did that it read it in the terminal where can i see it in the gui
[01:49] <ubuntuguy> Can I just get a code for terminal to restart panel
[01:49] <janisozaur> ubuntuguy, just execute "killall gnome-panel"
[01:49] <The_rogue_smiler> argh! I thought ubuntu was supposed to be fast! But these updates are clogging up my computer
[01:49] <ubuntuguy> Then what Jani?
[01:49] <edbian> The_rogue_smiler, please explain... ?
[01:50] <The_rogue_smiler> After each update, my computer runs a little bit slower
[01:50] <vinoo> muelli, it stops responding, it dont ping other computers in the network. i turn it off and it doesnt connect anymore
[01:50] <The_rogue_smiler> Even after I restart it
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> I want all my icons to reappear like they were from the beginning, my battery, my wifi etc
[01:50] <CeilingKitten> The_rogue_smiler, try Ubuntu Tweak ?
[01:50] <janisozaur> ubuntuguy, then wait for the panel to reappear (should be instantly). in case it doesnt, execute "gnome-panel"
[01:50] <The_rogue_smiler> What is ubuntu tweak?
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> It reappeared
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> but my icons
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> are there
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> my battery icon
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> etc
[01:50] <FloodBot3> ubuntuguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:50] <coz_> ubuntuella,   right click gnome panel and make sure you have the notification applet  on there
[01:50] <Fredricho> brb
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> I want to get my battery, my wifi etc icon to reappear
[01:51] <edbian> ubuntuguy, add the notification-area to your panel
[01:51] <janisozaur> ubuntuguy, or if you want to reset your panel to defaults, use what xangua suggested
[01:51] <coz_> ubuntuguy,   rather  for you   right click the gnome panel and make sure you have the notification applet on there
[01:51] <CeilingKitten> The_rogue_smiler, its a simple interface for changing system preferences, some may help with performance.
[01:51] <CeilingKitten> it has a package cleaner, startup cleaner, etc,.
[01:51] <coz_> ubuntuguy,  you want  Notification area  applet
[01:52] <ubuntuguy> Can you give me the code that xangua said
[01:52] <ubuntuguy> please
[01:52] <r007> janisozaur if you edit the sudoers file and ALL = NOPASSWD /path/to/binary for your user should work
[01:52] <xangua> !panels | ubuntuguy
[01:52] <jrmcm> i think i did this right http://paste.ubuntu.com/536125/
[01:52] <The_rogue_smiler> I also think it is worth mentioning that I clicked on openoffic word processor 20 minutes ago. it is still loading.
[01:52] <ubuntuguy> It keeps saying error :l
[01:52] <The_rogue_smiler> *openoffice
[01:52] <janisozaur> r007, please stop giving the 'solutions', of which implications you obviously have no idea.
[01:53] <r007> oh fuck off you stuck up twat
[01:53] <r007> only trying to help
[01:53] <IdleOne> !language | r007
[01:53] <mny> my network connection isn't working, when i type ifconfig -a it shows my network cards, but when i type ifconfig it only shows my loopback
[01:53] <r007> !flaming | janisozaur
[01:54] <office> how do i remove a system password entirely?
[01:54] <ubuntuguy> Can someone give me the code to reset my panel back to it's deafult
[01:54] <janisozaur> !panel | ubuntuguy
[01:54] <office> so that anyone can access
[01:54] <Braber01> what's the command to install skype?
[01:55] <ubuntuguy> !panel?
[01:55] <ubuntuguy> I just type that in
[01:55] <ubuntuguy> ?
[01:55] <ubuntuguy> Sorry I'm slow...
[01:55] <edbian> office, I think you're best bet is to create a user and have it auto-login
[01:55] <FloodBot3> ubuntuguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:55] <xangua> !partner | Braber01
[01:55] <xangua> first enable partner repositories and then just: sudo apt-get install skype
[01:55] <janisozaur> !panels | ubuntuguy
[01:56] <janisozaur> !info skype | Braber01
[01:56] <office> edbian is there really no way to remove a password?
[01:56] <edbian> office, I don't think you can have a user with no password.  As a guess, create a user and when you enter the password just press enter
[01:56] <r007> janisozaur try it and see
[01:56] <r007> smart A
[01:57] <slide> Is there any way to make a tmpfs or ramdisk that automatically backs up to the disk whenever possible? I just need the loading to be super fast
[01:57] <IdleOne> r007: please watch the attitude.
[01:57] <janisozaur> r007, will you please stop? I do know what this does. and this is not what i want.
[01:57] <r007> tell janisozaiour too please
[01:57] <IdleOne> janisozaur: skype is available from the Partner repo
[01:57] <ubuntuguy> When I typed that in terminal nothing happened...
[01:57] <tendo> how easy is it to install ubuntu onto an existing parallel's (windows emulation for mac) partition, without losing any other partition?
[01:57] <r007> janisozaur ok but me more clear what your asking then
[01:58] <ubuntuguy> I typed in exactly what you typed in...
[01:58] <djwattz> muelli u still here?
[01:58] <janisozaur> r007, I've already told you
[01:58] <muelli> yes
[01:58] <Braber01> is there some sort of command run to see what version of Ubuntu I'm running?
[01:58] <tendo> version
[01:58] <microm> does gnome have the kde and windows feature where you swing the window to the edge and it tiles the window automatically to take up half the screen?
[01:58] <janisozaur> r007, I want to permanently auhtenticate a specific action
[01:58] <muelli> Braber01: yes. lsb_release -a
[01:58] <edbian> Braber01, lsb_release -a
[01:58] <tendo> oh weird
[01:58] <djwattz> do u know i can access the card reader in gui
[01:58] <r007> janisozaur and the specific action is?
[01:58] <office> r007 try enabling parters & backports in the software sources, rebooting, and search the software center
[01:58] <office> in that order
[01:59] <thunkee> Braber01: http://tinyurl.com/36sffzp
[01:59] <janisozaur> r007, 'action' as in 'policykit action'

[02:01] <rinku_kokiri> allright guys, i used this how to  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=993376   and now wish to undo this command...    gksudo wminput <your wiimote's bluetooth address>
[02:01] <muelli> janisozaur: can you possibly edit smth in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/? Have you had a look at the polkit-desktop-privileges?
[02:01] <rinku_kokiri> nvm i think i just did it by powercycling the wiimote
[02:02] <Flannel> janisozaur: Does https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers not work for you?
[02:02] <jrmcm> Muelli: i ran sudo dmesg -c the results are here http://paste.ubuntu.com/536125/
[02:02] <janisozaur> Flannel, no, I want it done policykit way.
[02:02] <ubuntuguy> Well, I used a different code and got it, thanks anyways...
[02:03] <janisozaur> muelli, http://linux.die.net/man/5/policykit.conf leads leads me to think that policykit.conf is what I'm looking for, but there is no such file in my system
[02:03] <muelli> jrmcm: hm. didn't you have 3G problems? Or was it WiFi indeed?
[02:04] <muelli> janisozaur: hm. again, I'd check the polkit-desktop-privileges package.
[02:04] <muelli> !polkit-desktop-privileges
[02:04] <jrmcm> muelli: actually it supposed to be 4G
[02:04] <jrmcm> I have my wifi working fine
[02:04] <janisozaur> !info polkit-desktop-privileges | muelli
[02:05] <muelli> O_o
[02:05] <janisozaur> muelli, "apt-cache policy polkit-desktop-privileges" ?
[02:06] <muelli> janisozaur: just shut down the ubuntu machine. But it might very well be an old package again. Quickly googling suggests that the whole GUI thingy disappeared quite a while ago.
[02:07] <janisozaur> muelli, oh. I'll see into your previous suggestions, it looks promising. but right now it's quite late and I'm going to bed. thanks for your help
[02:08] <muelli> janisozaur:  here's some discussing reg the GUI https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-gnome/+bug/443265
[02:08] <r007> janisozaur why you cant do %admin ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown Ive no idea
[02:09] <capleton> hey, what's the offtopic channel?
[02:09] <muelli> !offtopic | capleton
[02:09] <janisozaur> r007, because this app could do many more things of which I want to allow it to do only one. are you satisfied now?
[02:09] <capleton> thnx muelli
[02:10] <r007> janisozaur ahh so its an app and not the user executing the command
[02:11] <janisozaur> r007, and please, don't just go around and flap your gums about things you don't know. at least make sure you know implications of your solutions.
[02:11] <r007> whateverrrrrrrrrr
[02:11] <rinku_kokiri> Anyone got a wiimote on their pc/laptop working?
[02:11] <r007> that gives admin users the ability to shut the box down without entering a password which is what you asked they still have to be authenticated in the admin group
[02:12] <r007> end off
[02:12] <rinku_kokiri> I would like to use my wiimote as a controller for an emulator WITHOUT the ir and accellerometer.
[02:13] <rinku_kokiri> afaik there are only two ways to run wminput, one involving ir and the other involving the accellerometer
[02:13] <rinku_kokiri> i would liek to run without both.. just a.b u d l r start and select
[02:13] <earthmeLon> When using LVM encrypion, is the goal to have the entire filesystem in said encrypted LVM, or do you only put certain mountpoints in it (like only /home/)?

[02:14] <helios_> I'm trying to install a program called BYOND. It says I'm missing a lib. the lib is in the directory
[02:14] <rinku_kokiri> I do not wish to use the wiimote as a mouse.
[02:15] <rinku_kokiri> i wish to use the wiimote as a controller
[02:15] <Flannel> rinku_kokiri: Right.  You can set up the config file however you'd like.
[02:15] <helios_> Can someone help me installing?
[02:15] <rinku_kokiri> and how do i connect it without using it as a mouse??
[02:16] <rinku_kokiri> as far as i can read, there's only two ways to run wminput...
[02:16] <Flannel> rinku_kokiri: Who cares what it shows up as.  If you disable the mouse linkage (the 'IR Pointer' stuff in that config file) then it won't provide any input to that, just the buttons
[02:21] <helios_> Can somebody help me with something?
[02:21] <fffffs> Supari, just download the kernel source
[02:21] <muelli> !ask | helios_
[02:23] <rinku_kokiri> So how do i disable the accellerometer stuff
[02:23] <rinku_kokiri> because i still don't get it
[02:23] <rinku_kokiri> i can either run the wminput in ir mode or accelerometer mode...

[02:27] <helios_> I need help with transfering a lib file to my lib folder
[02:28] <djwattz> does anyone know how to mount this internal sd card reader
[02:28] <ubuntu4shane> helios_: it is best to just install the libs you need through synaptic or apt-get
[02:29] <ubuntu4shane> helios_: it is probably not just so simple as moving a file to the lib folder, what lib do you need and why?
[02:29] <r007> hinojosa you dont have a mount point set on sda5
[02:29] <helios_> well
[02:29] <helios_> I'm trying to run a program called Byond
[02:29] <hinojosa> r007: okay, fair enough. How do I set that?
[02:29] <helios_> it says i need one of their libs
[02:29] <ubuntu4shane> djwattz: open the terminal and type: sudo fdisk -l
[02:29] <sfears> djwattz, i'm not sure how do go about finding the drivers.  but that's probably why you can't mount the sd reader
[02:29] <helios_> and it's in the directory

[02:29] <hiexpo> helios_, what lib
[02:30] <sfears> pieces, lsusb
[02:30] <r007> hinojosa during your partition setup it should give you an option to create a mount point set it to /
[02:30] <sfears> won't quite show com ports pieces but it will show some attached devices
[02:30] <helios_> hold on
[02:31] <pieces> sfears, thanks, but i need to figure out what com port a certain device is on so I can access it

[02:33] <pieces> sfears, i have the standard one that comes with ubuntu
[02:33] <ubuntu4shane> helios_: that is probably going to require compiling to correctly install it, you need to read the README file
[02:33] <hinojosa> r007: no.
[02:33] <sfears> and that's not doing what you need it to pieces ?
[02:34] <pieces> sfears, it connects to the device correctly but doesn't tell me what com port :(

[02:39] <Supari> ubuntu4shane one more question,do you happen to know any sites that have conf files to kernels ? I need a trimmed one with bare minimum so i can build it for appletv specifically...openelec has a conf file, but the issue with that is when i attempted to use that conf to compile a ubuntu kernel system didnt boot.

[02:40] <teng0803> does anyone know how to fix this: ubuntu kernel: [ 4446.088101] ata1: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset ?
[02:40] <ubuntu4shane> Supari: not right off hand, I haven't messed with building kernels or conf files for kernels in over a year
[02:41] <hinojosa> r007: tell you what - I'm gonna check my md5checksum and maybe download this again and remake the usb startdisk. Thank you for your help though. I may be back.
[02:41] <hiexpo> helios did you read the read me
[02:41] <hiexpo>
[02:41] <teng0803> does anyone know how to fix this: ubuntu kernel: [ 4446.088101] ata1: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset ?
[02:42] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: are you getting that error on an installed version? or booting off CD or USB?
[02:43] <hiexpo> helios_, put the file in home dir  unzip it  open terminal cd it type make
[02:43] <teng0803> ubuntu4shane, installed one
[02:43] <r007> hinojosa it sounds like its booting from the hd and not the install media tbh
[02:43] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: did it happen right after install?
[02:43] <hiexpo> if gives you errorslet use see what they are   [ pastebin it
[02:44] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: or after an upgrade?
[02:44] <^Mike> How can I stop ~ from being expanded in my shell? I have already put set expand-tilde off in ~/.inputrc
[02:44] <teng0803> i actually started collecting logs when i started experiencing random freezes
[02:45] <teng0803> like for few seconds, i can sometimes move my mouse but no use at all. everything freezes for few seconds then poof all back to normal
[02:45] <jrmcm> how do you change the number of lines shown in the terminal?
[02:45] <hinojosa> r007: hrm. It shows the Ubuntu splash screen though - it's accessing the USB startdrive, but it's hacking up a lung.
[02:45] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: I'm not really sure about the error, I have seen similar errors, but usually after I messed something up with grub
[02:45] <psusi> ^Mike, why would you want to, and where did you read about .inputrc?  I don't think that's right
[02:45] <teng0803> any advice what to check?
[02:45] <ubuntu4shane> jrmcm: you mean scroll back?
[02:45] <teng0803> sorry im very new to linux and ubuntu :((
[02:45] <jrmcm> yes
[02:45] <^Mike> psusi: Because it's annoying. I saw this... all over the place. that's what expand-tilde supposedly does - but turning it off has no effect
[02:46] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: I'm not sure, can you boot into recovery mode?
[02:46] <teng0803> and then observe?
[02:46] <^Mike> psusi: 'expanded' meaning 'expanded for tab completion'... it still means $HOME (well, a souped-up version of $HOME)
[02:46] <ubuntu4shane> jrmcm: it is in the preferences, let me find it for you, I always change that.
[02:46] <jrmcm> ubuntu4shane:thx
[02:47] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: I would try and run an update and see if there are any updates to fix it.
[02:47] <hinojosa> r007: is there a way to mount the thing via the initramfs prompt, then move forward?
[02:47] <ubuntu4shane> jrmcm: Profile Preferences -> Scrolling tab
[02:48] <helios_> hiexpo: thank you :D
[02:48] <teng0803> ubuntu4shane: yes ive downloaded and installed lots of updates already but still the same. i've tried googling it and found some notes saying that it might be pertaining to some kernel issues. found some same complaints even on earlier versions :(
[02:48] <psusi> ^Mike, ahh
[02:48] <Pun1sh3r> oR
[02:49] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: ooh, so you are actually able to boot into the system?
[02:49] <teng0803> yes. but then at random im getting freezes
[02:49] <teng0803> and when i checked the logs that's what it says
[02:50] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: oooh, ok, I see, I didn't think it was booting.  is this new hardware?  I mean like recently bought computer?
[02:50] <r007> hinojosa what happens when you press esc at boot
[02:50] <FishFace> teng0803: I was getting that for a while. But I have a MS wireless mouse. Seems I don't get the freezes when batteries are over 50% charged.
[02:50] <r007> hinojosa can you get a grub menu?
[02:50] <hinojosa> r007: let's find out.
[02:50] <teng0803> no it's been my laptop since 2005 :P but i've been using it with windows xp with no issues at all. Only with ubuntu that im getting this random freezes :(
[02:50] <syn-ack> FishFace, Same thing happens with my Logitech
[02:51] <r007> hinojosa remove quiet splash from the kernel arguments
[02:51] <vance> what is this
[02:51] <r007> hinojosa if you can
[02:51] <FishFace> syn-ack: Yep. So I have rechargables. Not a real big deal.
[02:51] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: I hate to say it but sounds like a hardware incompatibility, something is not working right, and perhaps it is the kernel not working right with the hdd, but I'm not certain, and not sure how to troubleshoot it
[02:51] <hinojosa> r007: ttrying again
[02:52] <vance> whats going on
[02:52] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[02:52] <jrmcm> ubuntu4shane: ok i have a scrolling tab, can i change the number of lines i can go back? I am try to debug a few things
[02:52] <teng0803> uhm let me check
[02:52] <teng0803> Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-23-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 17 22:15:35 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[02:53] <ubuntu4shane> jrmcm: scrolling tab???  You should be able to set either the amount of line numbers or you can set memory limits like 1mb or something like that.
[02:53] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: Oh, I meant, 10.10 (Maverick) or 10.04 Lucid lynx?
[02:53] <teng0803> Maverick
[02:53] <vance> what is this???
[02:54] <hinojosa> r007:I can't seem to be able to get a grub menu - pressing esc at boot only brings up the language selection part of the install
[02:54] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: ok, give me a minute, let me check something
[02:54] <teng0803> thanks so much :D
[02:54] <adito> join #philosophy
[02:54] <jrmcm> ubuntu4shane: ok i must have been in the wrong place where can i find profile preferences?
[02:55] <adito> commands
[02:55] <r007> hinojosa its defo booting from usb then hav you tried disabling the lpaic
[02:55] <teng0803> jrmcm: on the terminal window go to edit then preferences
[02:55] <ubuntu4shane> jrmcm: my bad, it is Edit -> Profile Preferences -> Scrolling tab
[02:55] <virstulte> is it a bad thing if I just enjoy dropping by and listening to linux noobs ask silly questions because they can't find www.google.com?
[02:56] <mongrul> im here for the same thing
[02:56] <hinojosa> r007: it is default booting from the USB. I have not tried disabling the lpaic - tbh, not sure what is.
[02:57] <jrmcm> ubuntu4shane and teng0803: thanks all i found it now. :)
[02:57] <jeremiah_> as a linux noob i can enjoy both sises
[02:57] <jeremiah_> sides*
[02:57] <jrmcm> lol im learning even if im not asking all the time :)
[02:58] <Kholby> I have an hp photosmart d110a AIO and I'm having trouble getting scanning to work on Ubuntu 9.10.
[02:58] <virstulte> always good to learn a thing or two, true dat
[02:58] <^Mike> oh yay, ubuntu clobbers your readline settings in bash_completion /o
[02:59] <Zack> i'm attempting to install ubuntu (10.10).  it does not appear to be letting me to install to free (unpartitioned) space.  is this impossible?
[02:59] <jeremiah_> Has anyone had the thought of hacking into there kinect yet
[02:59] <r007> hinjosa can you boot command line install?
[02:59] <hinojosa> r007: I'm using the install utils from help to run a check on the the disk and memory - disk was fine
[02:59] <r007> hinjosa think its c then add cli at the end
[03:00] <hinojosa> hmm - not sure ho wot get to that prompt
[03:00] <virstulte> Zack: how many partitions do you already have?
[03:00] <r007> hinjosa might be a or c
[03:00] <banker247> can i run ubuntu off a usb stick if my computer doesn't have an HD? ;)
[03:00] <r007> hinjosa its a on centos
[03:01] <Zack> sda1(ntfs), sda2(ntfs), free space, sda4(ntfs)
[03:01] <Zack> 1 is SYSTEM and 4 is RECOVERY.
[03:01] <hinojosa> r007 - k, well - let me wait for the memory check to finish, then I'll see what options exist. Is there a way to escape to the command line boot?
[03:01] <virstulte> what about sda2?
[03:02] <Zack> virstulte - 383gig windows install.
[03:02] <r007> hinjosa on the initial splash screen you should be able to press c
[03:02] <Kholby> Anyone gotten a Photosmart AIO to scan in Ubuntu 9.10?
[03:02] <hinojosa> r007 - ah - k, I'll try that. Thank you.
[03:03] <r007> hinjosa I got to go to bed now have work in a few hours but good luck
[03:03] <virstulte> Zack - I'd say it might be because you can only have 4 primary partitions. Linux typically needs 3: a boot, a swap, and the OS
[03:03] <hinojosa> r007 - ok, thank you again, I appreciate the assistance.
[03:03] <virstulte> so 3 + the 3 you need is 6
[03:04] <Zack> virstulte - it says "no root file system is defined".. is that an error one is likely to recieve for that problem?
[03:04] <virstulte> Zack - I think it's having a tough time figuring out what to do, since your unallocated space is in the middle of your drive
[03:05] <Zack> virstulte - i have also installed EasyBCD (via .exe on windows side).
[03:05] <virstulte> What the ubuntu install likes to do is take a hard drive that is solid NTFS and split it, putting linux in the back half
[03:05] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: ok, I'm not sure if this is going to help, but open synaptic, and in the quick search put linux-image,  try and install the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel and boot off that and see if that helps
[03:05] <Zack> virstulte - how do you suggest i continue? I cannot get rid of my windows install, but i do not know what the purposes of the SYSTEM and RECOVERY are.  I'm fairly certain I have windows recovery turned off..  if i don't i meant to.
[03:05] <virstulte> well, you shouldn't worry about easyBCD, cause GRUB is going to take over anyway if you install ubuntu
[03:06] <virstulte> I'd suggest expanding your windows partition to fill the unallocated space and installing via Wubi
[03:06] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: you can also try to re-install the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel and see if that helps.  It is definitely a kernel/hdd error, I googled and found some stuff, but no real solutions right off the bat,
[03:06] <teng0803> ubuntu4shane: i had that kernel before i updated to .23 just this morning :D
[03:06] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: ok, and problems with that kernel too?
[03:07] <virstulte> It's pretty solid, and as long as you don't try and do too many hacky things with it, it's kinda tough to break.
[03:07] <Pun1sh3r> wpa2 ccmp pwn
[03:07] <teng0803> uhm so far on the .23 haven't got it since i joined this chat. i but i looked at the syslog.1 msgs i ran from tail and saw the same error msgs took off while im sleeping :P
[03:08] <teng0803> yeah, can't find solid fix notes as well online :(
[03:08] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: are you shutting the computer down, or hibernating it?
[03:08] <teng0803> nope, i just left it running
[03:09] <teng0803> after i downoaded and installed .23. I slept for a while why system is running then when i woke up i checked the syslog.1 file
[03:09] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: I'm not sure, hope the .23 kernel works better for you
[03:09] <teng0803> and got those errors also
[03:09] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: you did reboot after installing the .23 kernel right/
[03:09] <ubuntu4shane> ?
[03:10] <teng0803> good thing as per logs, they've reoccured on once/hr :D
[03:10] <teng0803> yep
[03:10] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: hmm, 2005 you said?
[03:10] <teng0803> hahahaha
[03:10] <teng0803> yeah it's old
[03:11] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: backup your data, could be a hdd failure coming your way
[03:11] <teng0803> but based on the online comments i've been seeing that error has been there since 2007
[03:11] <Collapsed> hello
[03:11] <Pun1sh3r> ello
[03:11] <teng0803> and all they were saying is to hope for next kernel update :P also it stops whenever there's a cd in my drive
[03:11] <teng0803> just like the workaround given on some forums
[03:12] <teng0803> but no real fix though
[03:12] <doc-saintly> Which package would you guys suggest for as a JRE on ubuntu?
[03:12] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: I would be prepared for a hdd failure though, 5 years for a hdd, depending on usage is average lifespan.
[03:12] <xangua> !java | doc-saintly
[03:12] <Aciid> doc-saintly: closed source one (official)
[03:12] <Jordan_U> teng0803: Check the drive
[03:12] <Aciid> works best for most apps
[03:12] <doc-saintly> thanks guys
[03:13] <Frijolie> generally speaking any external USB HDD will work with Linux, right? I'm worried that if i purchase a drive it will not be recognized by the computer. Does it have to meet any specific specs?
[03:13] <Jordan_U> teng0803: ... The drive's SMART status in System > Administration > Disk Utility.
[03:13] <teng0803> ok im doing that now Jordan
[03:13] <teng0803> thanks
[03:14] <Jordan_U> Frijolie: Correct. All USB drives should work with linux.
[03:14] <FishFace> Frijolie: No worries. I have 3 from different manufacturers. All good.
[03:14] <jrmcm> can i ask about evolution in here?
[03:14] <ubuntu4shane> Frijolie: I have used quite a few, and never ran into one that doesn't work, so probably 99% of them would work with LInux, there may be an odd ball one out there that may not
[03:14] <teng0803> @Jordan,anything i need to check?
[03:14] <Frijolie> alright, so the file formatting doesn't matter?
[03:14] <ubuntu4shane> Frijolie: google what you are looking at buying before buying. :)
[03:15] <ubuntu4shane> Frijolie: actually, I formatted my ntfs external to ext3 for compatibility.
[03:15] <ubuntu4shane> Frijolie: but I use Linux 100%, no windows.
[03:15] <draven_sol> anyone familiar with booting a degraded encrypted raid?
[03:15] <^Mike> Does anyone know why the cpan shell on ubuntu uses ~/.local/share/.cpan instead of ~/.cpan?
[03:15] <Frijolie> they normally come formatted as NTFS, i just wanna be able to take it back and forth to work
[03:16] <prong> Obama destroyed the united states with socialism
[03:16] <Frijolie> Linux at home and Windows at work
[03:16] <doc-saintly> I do an apt-cache search sun-java  <- all this returns is javadb entries
[03:16] <Zack> okay so accidentally keeping an ntfs formatted SD card in the slot while trying to properly format my disks and install linux? bad idea.
[03:16] <^Mike> prong: He did?! I haven't read the newspaper yet today...
[03:16] <draven_sol> !topic >prong

[03:19] <fffffs> doc-saintly, install jdk from oracle website
[03:19] <teng0803> @ jordan and Ubuntu4shane. Just got off from the same freeze :P
[03:20] <doc-saintly> ubuntu4shane: to run,
[03:20] <doc-saintly> fffffs: thanks, i'll try that if i find that openjdk doesn't work for me.
[03:20] <doc-saintly> thanks for your help guys

[03:21] <daniell> does anybody help me with packaging using deb-helper..regarding rules file
[03:21] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: what did the SMART say about the hdd?
[03:22] <ubuntu4shane> daniell: are you trying to package?
[03:22] <teng0803> disk has a few bad sectors :p
[03:22] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: back up and enjoy the ride
[03:22] <teng0803> hehehe
[03:22] <daniell> ubuntu4shane: ya
[03:22] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: it is all down hill from here.
[03:22] <teng0803> thanks Ubuntu4shane and Jordan :D
[03:22] <ubuntu4shane> !packaging
[03:22] <ubuntu4shane> daniell I think it is #ubuntu-packaging
[03:23] <teng0803> gtg guys
[03:23] <teng0803> thanks for the advices
[03:23] <ubuntu4shane> daniell they can help you
[03:23] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: no prob
[03:23] <daniell> ubuntu4shane: ;-).. okiez.. thanx...
[03:23] <teng0803> have a great day/night ahead
[03:23] <daniell> ubuntu4shane: tcz..
[03:23] <^Mike> How can I make my cpan shell use ~/.cpan instead of ~/.local/share/.cpan? I can change the values in the cpan shell's config, but the location of the config file itself seems to be hardcoded :(
[03:24] <ubuntu4shane> !tcz
[03:25] <Zack> I have free space I wish to install Ubuntu on.  I believe I do this by creating a new partition first?  It's been a while since I've done a lot with partitions.. I want to be able to boot from it, obviously.  Should it be Primary or Logical?  And for "use as:" should I leave it as Ext4 journaling file system, or change that? Thanks! =]
[03:26] <^Mike> Zack: Yes, you'll need to create at least one new partition. ext4 is fine.
[03:27] <^Mike> Zack: I recommend having 3: one for /, one for /home, and one for swap. However, that's a bit complicated, perhaps you prefer simplicity of using just one partition
[03:29] <Collapsed> two partitions... one for / and another for swap
[03:29] <Collapsed> that is the most basic way
[03:30] <Zack> ./ being root?
[03:30] <Dulak> Putting /home on it's own partitions makes a clean install much easier down the road
[03:30] <daniell> with #debian-packaging
[03:30] <Zack> i'm not sure how i would differentiate the parts of the install.
[03:30] <Collapsed> yeah...
[03:30] <Zack> all i know is the manager just asks for a place to install..
[03:31] <daniell> #packaging
[03:31] <Collapsed> set small partition for SWAP and another one for system on /
[03:32] <Collapsed> that will be formated in ext3
[03:32] <Collapsed> SWAP no need format i belive
[03:32] <Zack> both logical?
[03:32] <Collapsed> yeah
[03:32] <Zack> how big? just a few gigs?
[03:33] <Collapsed> i left 1gb for swap
[03:33] <Collapsed> and ubuntu on 20
[03:33] <Dulak> I have 2g swap, 30g /, and the rest on /home
[03:34] <Collapsed> yeah it deppends
[03:34] <Collapsed> but it's the same thing...
[03:34] <Collapsed> deppends on the user
[03:34] <crawler> hi.  what is the terminal command to show which version of a package that's installed?
[03:34] <Zack> should these be on a separate 'partition table'than my windows install?
[03:35] <Collapsed> yes
[03:35] <Collapsed> then grub will auto detect windows on sda1
[03:35] <Collapsed> for multi OS selection
[03:35] <Zack> sda1 is some 208mb 'SYSTEM' partition. i don't even know what it is, but i'm afraid to delete it.
[03:36] <microm> I can't get my wireless network to ping outside my LAN (the same computer booted in Windows or Gentoo is able to ping outside my LAN).
[03:36] <Zack> the only way the 'new partition table' button is selectable is if i select dev/sda .. and that would overwrite the entire disk, which i don't want to do.
[03:37] <Dulak> Zack same partition table as existing stuff, the SYSTEM partition is probably your manufacturer's restore or diagnostic tools
[03:37] <Collapsed> yep...
[03:37] <Zack> i already deleted the RESTORE partition.
[03:38] <Dulak> then it's the diagnostic tools
[03:38] <Collapsed> why dont you back up everything and start over?
[03:38] <Collapsed> i mean with windows
[03:38] <Zack> doesn't seem necessary
[03:38] <Zack> if i can distill it down to a single partition
[03:39] <abstrakt> why might I want to choose the MIT license over say the GPL3
[03:39] <rww> ubottu: ot | abstrakt
[03:39] <abstrakt> rww, it's not really that off topic... ubuntu is free software
[03:40] <abstrakt> there's no #license channel that I know of
[03:40] <Collapsed>  i dont understand your question... then
[03:40] <rww> abstrakt: It's not an Ubuntu support question. As ubottu said, try #ubuntu-offtopic.
[03:40] <Collapsed> i got it late i think
[03:40] <abstrakt> rww, well, you said it, using ubottu :)
[03:40] <crawler> hi.  what is the terminal command to show which version of a package that's installed?  apt-cache showpkg <package name> is a bit too verbose..i would simply like to print the version of a given package.  isn't there a simpler way?
[03:40] <abstrakt> ubottu is a bot
[03:41] <Braber01> I disabled gdm how do i make it so I have internet acess at my login shell?
[03:42] <Zack> my sda1, 200mb, SYSTEM partition is labeled as 'boot'. >.>

[03:46] <iszak> Is there any way to "pin" a window to the task bar that prevents it from being closed conventionally?
[03:47] <Zack> can i replace my windows boot partition (not the system partition, just the small partition it uses to boot) with GRUB /before/ installing UBUNTU and use it to boot to windows?
[03:48] <Jordan_U> Zack: That small partition is called the system partition, "C:" is not the system partition. No, the system partition is required for windows to boot.
[03:49] <Zack> i shouldn't have used the word 'system'...  so even with Grub i'll need that?
[03:49] <Jordan_U> Zack: Yes.
[03:49] <Zack> =[ oh. alright. thanks.
[03:49] <Jordan_U> Zack: You're welcome.
[03:49] <crawler> iszak: i'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but if you use compiz, the ccsm has some Window Management settings.  it might be a good place to start
[03:49] <silvioalmeida> 7list
[03:49] <tr1pl3x> info crawler
[03:49] <silvioalmeida> 7list
[03:50] <silvioalmeida> dasss
[03:50] <crawler> tr1pl3x: why do you want my info?
[03:50] <Jordan_U> silvioalmeida: Stop that.
[03:50] <rww> silvioalmeida: something we can help you with?
[03:50] <tr1pl3x> I mean i want some info regarding those that you mention earlier
[03:50] <shmup> i cannot seem to kill my java process
[03:50] <shmup> using htop
[03:50] <shmup> using 100% of the cpu right now ~.~
[03:51] <silvioalmeida> thank you rww bad seq of keys
[03:51] <crawler> tr1pl3x: what did i mention earlier that you want info about?
[03:51] <silvioalmeida> lame stuff
[03:51] <Zack> for what reason might one put / and /home on different partitions?
[03:52] <iszak> crawler, ccsm?
[03:52] <tr1pl3x> about ccsm and compiz
[03:52] <rww> !ccsm
[03:52] <iszak> right, got it.
[03:52] <iszak> already installed.
[03:52] <Jordan_U> Zack: To make it easier to share one /home with multiple distributions.
[03:52] <quietone> how do I get s-video out to my tv working. all i get is a blank screen
[03:52] <Zack> what, exactly, is /home, if you don't mind me asking?
[03:52] <crawler> iszak: also, the ccsm you can make a window rule to have non-closeable windows
[03:52] <rww> Zack: the place where per-user settings and your documents are stored
[03:53] <Dulak> Zack to seperate your settings and data from the rest of the distro, it makes a clean install of a new version very easy, you just don't format the /home partition on the new install
[03:53] <maco> Zack: it's a directory, and inside it there is a directory for each user's "home directory" -- their documents, pictures, videos, etc go in there
[03:53] <iszak> crawler, that's cool, thanks.
[03:53] <rotham> rww:  How can I add in a "do not match" parameter?
[03:53] <crawler> iszak: you're welcome, good luck :)
[03:53] <maco> Dulak: you also dont need to put it on a separate partition to save its contents if you use ubuntu
[03:53] <Zack> i'm currently at the 'allocate drive space' part of an ubuntu install off of a livecd.  how mighti  go about setting that up? with /home and / separate?
[03:54] <silvioalmeida> rww: but since you asked, do you by any chance know of a solution similar to apple's aggregate device in ubuntu?
[03:54] <rww> rotham: grep works per-line, so if you use it, it'll match all lines that don't have whatever you search for
[03:54] <maco> Zack: you would go to manual partitioning and make a partition for / and one for /home
[03:54] <rww> grep -v "text to not find" file
[03:54] <Dulak> maco: ??  if it's not it's own partition a clean install would wipe /home, what are you talking about?
[03:54] <rww> silvioalmeida: I don't know what "apple's aggregate device" is
[03:55] <rotham> ahh ok
[03:55] <maco> Dulak: not for 2 years, in ubuntu
[03:55] <rotham> lol
[03:55] <maco> Dulak: in manual partition mode, you select the same partition, hit "edit" and uncheck the "format" box -- your /home's contents will be saved
[03:55] <crawler> Zack: yes, what maco said..it will allow you to specify the mount points / & /home
[03:55] <iszak> that's freaking cool crawler, thanks a lot.
[03:55] <Dulak> maco: that's exactly what I said, only longer
[03:55] <Zack> maco, i'm currently in the manual partitioning.. i see how to make a swap partition.. should i just make two more ext3 and it will ask me to separate them later?
[03:55] <maco> Dulak: no it's not
[03:55] <crawler> iszak: :)  yes, lots of things to play around with in the ccsm
[03:56] <maco> Dulak: you said it has to be a separate partition
[03:56] <Zack> or rather, to assign them?
[03:56] <maco> Dulak: i'm saying if you just have / and you choose not to format / then itll not delete the contents of home
[03:56] <silvioalmeida> itś a virtual layer that abstracts multiple sound cards and are viewed as one with multiple audio ports
[03:56] <maco> Zack: if you make 2 ext3's itll ask you what mount point for each of them. you pick / and /home from the dropdowns
[03:57] <Dulak> maco: why would you bother with a clean install if you aren't going to wipe it all?  That's actually kind of retarded, might as well just use update-manager instead.
[03:57] <maco> Dulak: because you want /etc/ to be wiped but not /home/ ?
[03:57] <Jordan_U> silvioalmeida: That can be accomplished with pulseadio, though I don't personally have experience setting it up.
[03:57] <Jordan_U> sipherdee: Try asking in #pulseaudio
[03:57] <mongrul> LOL
[03:57] <Dulak> maco: split /home to it's own partition
[03:57] <rww> Jordan_U: mistab, try Guest56415
[03:58] <rww> yay name changes.
[03:58] <Guest56415> thank you Jordan_u
[03:58] <maco> Dulak: but you dont need to. thats my point
[03:58] <Zack> and /home would be the smaller one that just contains settings and documents?
[03:58] <maco> Dulak: if you put it on a separate partition, and you made / the wrong size, its a pain in the rear to change
[03:58] <iszak> crawler, heh nearly got hurt by a nasty bug.
[03:58] <maco> Zack: usually /home is larger...
[03:58] <Dulak> Zack:  /home should be most of the disk really, it's where most of your non-distro data will be
[03:58] <crawler> iszak: what happened?
[03:59] <Zack> oh.. so / is the part that stays behind through distro wipes and reinstalls?
[03:59] <Dulak> maco: yer fond of the hard way, it's ok
[03:59] <iszak> For some reason when using the "grab" command and pressing "add" it didn't add anything thus the value was empty and applied for everything - everything became full screen and couldn't alt + tab so I had to kill things to get back to the main window.
[03:59] <maco> Zack: for me, i use 10GB / for non-developers, 15GB for developers, the rest /home (minus swap)
[03:59] <_TexNick_> Zack : I just got here, so I've missed some of your conversation ... but if you're adding ubuntu to an existing windows installation ... this link explains the win boot.ini file and how to access / modify it ... http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/bootini.htm
[03:59] <maco> Dulak: i'm pretty sure mine's the easy way
[03:59] <Dulak> Zack: no / gets wiped, /home stays
[03:59] <maco> Dulak: you dont need to repartition if you estimated 5GB for / and it turns out to be 7
[03:59] <maco> Dulak: your way, you do have to repartition. that sounds like the hard way to me
[04:00] <maco> (yes, ive had to repartition because i was using 2 partitions and / got to be too small)
[04:00] <Dulak> maco: sure, until your 'not-clean' clean install screws up a library, or something and you get to spend time troubleshooting it while my system hums along, never any traces left from the last install
[04:00] <crawler> iszak: ohh that sounds bad indeed..you might consider filing a bug for that
[04:00] <maco> if it's all one partition, you don't have to worry about it. and since ubuntu won't delete /home if you tell it not to format, you dont have to worry about losing stuff on clean installs
[04:00] <maco> Dulak: how would a saved home directory screw up a library?
[04:01] <maco> Dulak: unchecking 'format' on / is *exactly* the same as using a /home partition in terms of the cleanness of install. the ONLY difference is never having to repartition
[04:01] <BuenGenio> hello
[04:01] <Dulak> maco: if you don't format, it copies files on top of themselves, there is no delete step in the install.  You end up with multiple versions of say libraries, and other cruft
[04:02] <BuenGenio> how come spamassassin is giving most of the mail especially low scores
[04:02] <DrewQ> hey, i'm  new to ubuntu. just installed the 10.10 netbook version. have a really stupid question, anyone wanna help?
[04:02] <maco> Dulak: im pretty sure the installer has an explicit "delete everything except /home" step it does if you choose not to format. thats how it sounded when explained on ubuntu-devel mailing list 2 years ago
[04:02] <Zack> okay.. so.. /home holds most of the stuff and / would just hold the necessary distro files, allowing me to basically update/wipe my distro (in case i mess it up) without damaging my files, settings, etc?
[04:02] <crawler> !anyone | DrewQ
[04:02] <Dulak> maco: Uh-huh.
[04:03] <Dulak> maco: pretty sure is not good support
[04:03] <maco> Dulak: if you wait a bit, i'll look up the mailing list thread. i dont have it cached on disk anymore
[04:03] <Dulak> maco: I don't think I'd trust my data to 'pretty sure' but hey that's me.
[04:03] <maco> Dulak: well we know for sure your data's not being touched. what you're left asking is whether /etc's contents are really deleted first
[04:03] <DrewQ> Ok, how does one add icons to the "launcher" menu on the left hand side of the screen?
[04:04] <Macstheyjustsuck> Is there a way to turn on/off caps lock without the button? I started Vbox with it on and now it's reversed IN the box (light on = caps off, vice versa)
[04:05] <Macstheyjustsuck> button being Caps Lock button on keyboard*
[04:05] <crawler> Zack: yes, as i understand it, that is the basic idea of having / & /home on 2 seperate partitions.
[04:05] <Zack> alright. thanks. i appreciate it.
[04:06] <maco> Dulak: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2008-May/004243.html  (the reply has the user saying that actually, yes, they did choose to format /home, so the bug evan worries may exist in the email does not in fact exist)
[04:06] <studentz> DrewQ  type in a terminal    alacarte
[04:06] <maco> Dulak: evan and colin are core developers. colin works on the installer (not sure about evan)
[04:07] <maco> Dulak: what they say in that list posting is that everything but home gets deleted
[04:07] <Zack> should i set the device for bootloader installation to / or /home?
[04:07] <oatcake> hello all, i'm using 9.04 and want to upgrade to 10.10 . does installing it delete all the data on my current 9.04?
[04:07] <rww> Zack: /
[04:07] <Zack> thnaks
[04:07] <rww> or, wait
[04:07] <Jordan_U> Zack: No, neither.
[04:07] <rww> isn't that supposed to just go to /dev/sda?
[04:08] <Zack> Eh. Whoops.
[04:08] <Dulak> maco: I concede the point, you win.  Preach your easy way that I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole all you like.    G'luck.
[04:08] <Jordan_U> Zack: You should select the mbr, which would be something like "/dev/sda" rather than something like "/dev/sda1".
[04:08] <studentz> oatcake NO but always make a backup of your files.
[04:08] <Very_Cool> where do i find out what options were used to compile samba for ubuntu?  Im trying to add one and don't want to add problems by forgetting another option
[04:08] <maco> rww: yes
[04:09] <oatcake> studentz it keeps your files intact then?
[04:09] <rww> d-i always just asks if I want to install to the MBR, so I forget these things ;(
[04:09] <Zack> mm..  just hard powered down. i'll try that next time. =]
[04:09] <studentz> oatcake yep
[04:09] <firewaterburnz> does anybody know how to edit the database in mythbuntu to allow a sceenie or image to be displayed for a directory containing episodes of shows?
[04:10] <oatcake> wow i didnt realise, thanks studentz. i haven't got much really, i'll just back up my bookmarks and a few files perhaps!
[04:10] <studentz> oatcake Please do not be lazy  Make a backup of all your docs, files,
[04:10] <oatcake> lol
[04:11] <BuenGenio> anyone using SpamAssassin??
[04:11] <RoDiMuS-X> Unity or Gnome-shell whats the preference here?
[04:11] <firewaterburnz> coverart, does anyone know how to edit coverart in mythbuntu?
[04:11] <oatcake> most important stuff i copy to dvd data i dont think i have much to lose, the only hassle is setting up a ssh server again. and i'm not really brainy at computers
[04:11] <maco> RoDiMuS-X: try 'em both, see what you like?
[04:11] <RoDiMuS-X> maco: I have
[04:12] <RoDiMuS-X> I want to see what other people like
[04:12] <maco> in that case:  *raises hand for plasma-netbook*
[04:12] <RoDiMuS-X> LOL
[04:13] <rww> I don't like any of these three things ;(
[04:13]  * RoDiMuS-X raises hand for gnome-shell
[04:14] <crawler> firewaterburnz: not sure, but can you locate the database file?  maybe ~/.mythbuntu?  then maybe we can help
[04:14] <firewaterburnz> ok, will try
[04:16] <crawler> firewaterburnz: also, see this (a bit outdated, but possibly still relevant): http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-889753.html
[04:18] <firewaterburnz> ty crawler, I will read this and then see if I can connect to it
[04:18] <crawler> firewaterburnz: ok, good luck
[04:19] <MTecknology> Is it possible to see if my OOo Writer document is missing a font that it expects to have available and what it's selecting instead?
[04:19] <crawler> firewaterburnz: one more thing, you might have better luck asking in the myth-tv channel.  type /join #ubuntu-mythtv
[04:19] <firewaterburnz> k ty
[04:19] <maco> MTecknology: there's a font substition section in the OOo options
[04:21] <studentz> Should I uninstall  OO before install Libre Office ?
[04:22] <MTecknology> maco: I found that section but see nothing in there. I reinstalled my system and I know there's a font I had installed that isn't available right now
[04:22] <Don9307> Does anyone use the Eclipse SDK with the EPIC Perl Integration Perspective?
[04:22] <RoDiMuS-X> Studentz: I have both installed and no problems
[04:23] <Four2zero> hello everyone.
[04:23] <cr1984> I finally got fed up with reading forums to try to solve my problem... I guess they don't have the solution to everything :/. Can anyone help me install a particular NIC that doesn't want to behave using ifconig or ethtool when they get the chance?
[04:23] <andrew[andrboot]> Hi guys dumb question, trying to load mod_rewrite in apache and & i get ERROR: Module rewrite does not exist! | any ideas?
[04:23] <studentz> RoDiMuS-X  thanks. Did you use a ppa or deb pkg ?
[04:23] <_Tristan> so am I the only man on earth with ubuntu on a samsung qx410?
[04:24] <RoDiMuS-X> studentz: the deb pkg
[04:24] <_Tristan> andrew[andrboot]: try #httpd
[04:24] <Flannel> andrew[andrboot]: andrew[andrboot] Is rewrite.load in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ ?
[04:24] <Don9307> Anyone use Eclipse?
[04:24] <MTecknology> andrew[andrboot]: a2enmod rewrite
[04:24] <Don9307> Anyone use Eclipse SDK to program in Perl?
[04:25] <RoDiMuS-X> Don9307: I used Eclipse
[04:25] <RoDiMuS-X> Don9307: Not Perl
[04:25] <Don9307> Did you integrate EPIC into Eclipse?
[04:25] <cr1984> This should've been easy to install considering it's a 3com Etherlink Card, but Ubuntu doesn't want anything to do with having me manually update it's settings
[04:25] <Four2zero> i did a clean install of my ubuntu and now when i am updateing the repository i have receieved an error: http://pastebin.com/rBvdrEy1
[04:25] <RoDiMuS-X> Don9307: No
[04:25] <Four2zero> is there fix for this ?
[04:25] <Don9307> Okay.  Thanks.
[04:26] <RMatt> how the heck do i use this?
[04:26] <Don9307> If anyone uses the EPIC perspective with the Eclipse SDK, I have a problem I need help with.
[04:26] <_Tristan> anybody using a samsung qx410?
[04:27] <cr1984> Anybody know how to update a 3com NIC using Ubunu?
[04:27] <crawler> RMatt, just type your question for all to see :-)
[04:27] <slide> Can anyone point me to setting up a new partition to be encrypted (at a system level) and use it for my user home
[04:27] <RMatt> Okay, its kinda complex.
[04:27] <slide> to a guide i mean
[04:29] <andrew[andrboot]> @ Flannel it doesn't excist
[04:29] <crawler> _Tristan: what seems to be the problem with your computer?
[04:29] <andrew[andrboot]> @ MTecknology thats the error i get running that command
[04:29] <eigen> What file is the path variable stored in?
[04:29] <Don9307> Anyone using Eclipse to write PERL programs?
[04:29] <_Tristan> crawler: touchpad recognized as a normal mouse
[04:29] <maco> andrew[andrboot]: what about in mods-available/ instead of mods-enabled/ ?
[04:29] <RMatt> so my dad got me an ubuntu live disk. I put it in, get to the very end of the install, and it stops. Cant do anything. So my step dad tells me to eject the disk and reboot. Well, ubuntu hadnt finished, and i cant overwrite the original partition. What should i do?
[04:30] <maco> RMatt: cant overwrite? why not?
[04:31] <RMatt> I have no idea how. I think i have to delete the original partition, but im not sure how to do that.
[04:31] <RoDiMuS-X> RMatt: delete the partition and create a new one
[04:31] <Don9307> Is anyone using the Eclipse software package to write Perl programs?
[04:31] <RMatt> how big should i make it?
[04:31] <Flannel> andrew[andrboot]: It should exist in /etc/apache2/mods-available, if it doesn't, you've got a packaging issue that we'll need to address.
[04:31] <andrew[andrboot]> @ maco checked that.. not there either
[04:31] <andrew[andrboot]> Flannel nope
[04:31] <Four2zero> anyone know why i cant update a repository ? http://pastebin.com/vQW0NLzk
[04:32] <RoDiMuS-X> RMatt: you can use the whole thing or just a portion the choice is yours
[04:32] <crawler> Don9307: you might have some luck asking in the Eclipse channel.  type /join #eclipse
[04:32] <Flannel> andrew[andrboot]: Not in -available?  Alright, is this the first time you've installed Apache? or did you remove it and reinstall it, etc, etc?
[04:32] <maco> andrew[andrboot]: is apache2.2-common installed?
[04:32] <Don9307> Didn't know there was an Eclipse channel.  Thanks crawler.
[04:32] <crawler> sure thing, good luck
[04:33] <Four2zero> i have tryed to do sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-extras-keyring
[04:33] <RMatt> can you give me a short step by step of how to do that? i almost wiped my entire hard disk last time i tried.
[04:33] <Four2zero> but it still gives me the same error.
[04:33] <andrew[andrboot]> @ Flannel no way the first time heh. just as confused as you might be
[04:33] <andrew[andrboot]> @ maco yeap defintly. already running nagios on here no problems
[04:34] <andrew[andrboot]> i did upgrade it from a version recently to lts
[04:34] <andrew[andrboot]> heh
[04:34] <Flannel> andrew[andrboot]: I'm not confused, I know why it's happening though.  Last time you removed (or at some point during your removals) you deleted those files manually, that's what's causing this.
[04:34] <maco> andrew[andrboot]: well that file is part of that package, so... i suggest sudo aptitude reinstall apache2.2-common
[04:34] <andrew[andrboot]> i think 9
[04:34] <RoDiMuS-X> RMatt: give this a read https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html
[04:34] <andrew[andrboot]> mhmk
[04:34] <FloodBot2> andrew[andrboot]: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:34] <RMatt> thanks.
[04:35] <RoDiMuS-X> NP
[04:36] <andrew[andrboot]> maco i did a re-install, and still no rewrite module

[04:37] <crawler> Four2zero: you're welcome.  good luck :)

[04:47] <AegNuddel> Does anybody know how libbarry (blackberry for Linux) works?
[04:50] <crawler> sarthor: have you tried logging out & in?
[04:50] <krunal> maco, these keys.... what are they for?
[04:50] <sarthor> crawler, yes, several times
[04:51] <crawler> sarthor: are you able to choose the font in firefox preferences > content > fonts?
[04:51] <maco> krunal: verifying that the package that is downloaded is what the computer expected. that means A) it wasnt a corrupt download B) it was uploaded by an official developer and C) it's the most recent
[04:52] <krunal> maco, that makes perfect sense... so it ensures autheticity and file integrity?
[04:52] <maco> krunal: C is usually the bit where things fail. that is, there's a new version on the server, and your computer remembers the signature of the old one and so has to warn you that either a new one was uploaded (an update) or someone's faking something
[04:52] <maco> krunal: yep
[04:52] <netterbooker> hello
[04:52] <sarthor> crawler, yes, i can do that, but there are seveal options, which one to choose?
[04:52] <krunal> maco, so all "approved" developers for Ubuntu have keys for all the software they develop
[04:52] <Anthony___> Hello?
[04:53] <netterbooker> hi i have a support question
[04:53] <Anthony___> i can help
[04:53] <netterbooker> more like an installation question....
[04:53] <Anthony___> shoot
[04:53] <netterbooker> ok
[04:53] <maco> krunal: we have keys that allow us (and only us..um or someone who steals our keys and tortures our passwords out of us..which would be bad) to submit source packages to the build servers which then sign the binary packages
[04:54] <mrbox>  up vnc ubuntu 10.10 desktop or server
[04:54] <mrbox> can someone link to tutorial
[04:54] <netterbooker> would i be able to install ubuntu on my netbook with a card reader that connects via usb ... id be putting it on an sd card
[04:54] <maco> krunal: if a source package is not signed by an official dev, the build server will reject it
[04:55] <crawler> sarthor: i'm not sure, but possible uncheck "Allow pages to choose..." in the advanced font options
[04:55] <Anthony___> netterbooker , yes i think you can
[04:55] <netterbooker> ok
[04:55] <mrbox>  can someone link to tutorial up vnc ubuntu 10.10 desktop or server
[04:56] <netterbooker> ok... should i use the pen drive program and just treat the sd card as if it was a usb stick?
[04:56] <krunal> btw is there a better program than rdesktop? to connect to windows comptuer using rdc
[04:56] <sarthor> crawler, i am already there in firefox, edit prefrecens, contents, and then in advance
[04:56] <crawler> mrbox: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC
[04:57] <AegNuddel> How do I run libbarry software?  Do I need to have the blackberry plugged in first?
[04:57] <crawler> sarthor: well, there is where you want to set your fonts.
[04:58] <sarthor> crawler, there are proportions, Serif sans-serif Momospace, and that all are changeable, which one have to change,
[04:59] <sarthor> crawler, these are like dropdown menus, but i do not know which read or act in browsers fonts.
[05:01] <crawler> sarthor: hmm..not sure, never used different fonts before.  i imagine it would take some experimentation.  maybe someone else knows
[05:01] <crawler> AegNuddel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/Blackberry
[05:01] <netterbooker> if i am to go about installing from my card reader should I format the sd card like i would a usb drive? (sorry for asking again my helper left)
[05:02] <AegNuddel> ok it does not say much...it is all installed though
[05:03] <AegNuddel> but I tried executing the things it said were installed and it kept saying not found
[05:03] <sarthor> crawler, OK. thanks for the time, you people always help, Thanks.
[05:04] <diz_Child> O:
[05:04] <diz_Child> quit
[05:04] <netterbooker> can someone help me?
[05:04] <crawler> AegNuddel: there is also this page with more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Blackberry%20Sync%20with%20Ubuntu
[05:05] <breadcrumb> hi
[05:05] <netterbooker> hi
[05:05] <Guest59393> hi]
[05:05] <crawler> !ask | !someone | netterbooker
[05:06] <crawler> ..oops
[05:06] <netterbooker> how would i go about installing ubuntu from my card reader
[05:07] <crawler> netterbooker: i imagine you would have to be able to first boot from your card reader.  no idea if BIOS even support that funtion (i'm not aware of cutting edge technology)
[05:08] <netterbooker> ok im going to see if thats possible
[05:08] <crawler> netterbooker: why not install it using a USB stick?
[05:09] <netterbooker> i have one somewhere around here but ive got loads and loads of sd and compact flash cards (photographer)
[05:09] <zani> yesterday I saved a text with open office, and today when I opened it it was blank. How can it be possible?!
[05:10] <zani> is there a way to revover the text that I saved yesterday?
[05:11] <zani> it is a shame.
[05:11] <crawler> netterbooker: there's also PXE boot if your BIOS supports it, so you can install ubuntu over the network (provided you have 2 somputers connected)
[05:11] <Haddem> does anyone know if you how to install lib32 on my centos 5.5?
[05:12] <crawler> zani, go to the folder where it is saved and press Ctrl+H.  see if there are any hidden backup files made (sorry i'ts my only suggestion)
[05:12] <karthick87> How to install insight debugger in maverick?
[05:12] <TheSarge> I cannot seem to get totem or VLC to playback DVD video? Usually it asks me if I want to search for availible plugins after first install, but now I just get "Unable to read from resource." After it spins up the disk?
[05:12] <netterbooker> cool that might take some time for me to figure out... its an asus 1005ha btw
[05:13] <zani> no, there's nothing on the hidden file..
[05:13] <crawler> TheSarge: i believe you need to install livdvdcss2 & libdvdread to playback DVD's.  see this page for further info: http://medibuntu.org/
[05:14] <zani> uff I'm really fuc**d now
[05:14] <zani> well thank you anyway bye
[05:14] <TheSarge> crawler: I am trying ubuntu-restricted-extras, then I will try your suggestion. Thanks.
[05:14] <AegNuddel> ok
[05:15] <AegNuddel> will have to use one of the blackberries
[05:15] <AegNuddel> hmm
[05:18] <cong> tar -xzvf sam.tar.gz ./
[05:18] <cong> tar: .: Not found in archive
[05:18] <cong> tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
[05:19] <cong> what does this mean?
[05:21] <slax00> I am having problems with my alfa network in ubuntu, their connection is more bad than with windows xp
[05:23] <slax00> happened to someone the same?
[05:25] <ProtiK> netterbooker: If you can boot from a flash drive, you can boot from a card reader.
[05:26] <cong> any different between flash drive and card reader?
[05:26] <netterbooker> ok
[05:26] <Jordan_U> cong: When both are connected via USB no.
[05:26] <ProtiK> You could basically think of it as a flash drive with swappable memory, really.
[05:28] <netterbooker> i have under my boot menu in bios a list of "hard disk drives" .... the flash is recognized "USB:Single Flash R"
[05:28] <netterbooker> it also lists a cd rom drive... weird
[05:29] <Jordan_U> netterbooker: Due to annoying "advances", that may actually be your printer.
[05:29] <netterbooker> interesting
[05:30] <Jordan_U> netterbooker: Many printers, and other USB devices which are not CDROM drives, pretend to be a CDROM drive containing the windows drivers to actually use the device as it's intended.
[05:30] <looseparts> I want to upgrade from 8.10 to 10.4 but keep GRUB and exclude GRUB2 - can I do this from the command line using apt-get upgrade ?
[05:31] <looseparts>  upgrade from 8.10 to 10.4 but keep GRUB and exclude GRUB2 - can I do this from the
[05:31] <looseparts>                     command line using apt-get upgrade ?
[05:32] <looseparts> oops - sorry for the double post - fingers...
[05:35] <ChaoRhi> Okay, I'm having a problem doing the offline upgrade with the maverick iso
[05:36] <ChaoRhi> I'm upgrading from Lucid to Meerkat using the alternate CD
[05:37] <ChaoRhi> since my DSL connection is far from adequate for a internet-based dist-upgrade
[05:38] <ChaoRhi> It proceeds normally if I tell ./cdromupgrade to use networking to get up-to-date packages
[05:38] <ChaoRhi> but if I don't, it errors out
[05:39] <durga913> hello
[05:40] <White-Horse> can someone please help me remove apple quick time v7.6.8 from wine v1.3.x
[05:40] <ChaoRhi> White-Horse: Odd, it shouldn't be able to install in the first place
[05:40] <White-Horse> there seems to be a bug in the uninstaller
[05:41] <rlee123> I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and my desktop background keeps changing, how do I prevent that?
[05:41] <White-Horse> it installed with no proms. at all
[05:41] <Jordan_U> !wine | White-Horse
[05:41] <White-Horse> but now i can not uninstall it
[05:41] <gaelfx> how can I find a list of the possible owners for any file on my system?
[05:41] <vashman> rlee123: check your wallpaper settings
[05:41] <ferris_> rlee123, right click on the desktop and change the background
[05:42] <White-Horse> thanks
[05:42] <ChaoRhi> rleel123: Yep. Make sure you're using a wallpaper and not something that doesn't look like a stack of wallpapers
[05:42] <Jordan_U> gaelfx: A file can only have one owner with standard Unix permissions. I don't understand what exactly you want.
[05:42] <rlee123> ah ok, it's a theme thing that keeps altering the background
[05:42] <rlee123> thanks
[05:43] <ChaoRhi> does anyone know how to dist-upgrade using just the alternate cd?
[05:43] <jondowd> Hello. I want to upgrade from 8.10 to 10.4 but keep GRUB and exclude GRUB2 - can I do this from the command line using apt-get upgrade ?
[05:43] <gaelfx> Jordan_U: yeah, I know, but I want to change the owner, but I'm not sure what the correct name is, so I need a list of the names I can actually assign as the owner, know what I mean?
[05:43] <ChaoRhi> I keep trying it but I get an error
[05:44] <rinku_kokiri> ChaoRhi, funny, quicktime installed fine... no errors, except a screen going black
[05:44] <jordan> Hi
[05:44] <ChaoRhi> Never mind, ./cdromupgrade now decides to cooperate...
[05:44] <FenrirReturns> I've googled and can't seem to find how I rearrange shells inside screen.  For example make screen 0 screen 1 or screen 2 screen 3.  Any ideas?
[05:44] <jordan> Can anyone help me get SDL set up to work in an IDE?
[05:45] <ChaoRhi> rinku_kokiri: I've never got it to work at all using wine
[05:45] <rinku_kokiri> all i did is set the executable bit and it installed fine
[05:45] <ChaoRhi> FenrirReturns: Are you using a GUI or the CLI?
[05:46] <ChaoRhi> rinku_kokiri: same here, never worked.
[05:46] <sujith> ram
[05:46] <ChaoRhi> rinku_kokiri: besides, I have medibuntu installed
[05:46] <Jordan_U> gaelfx: There is probably an easier way, but this should do it: awk -F: '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd
[05:46] <FenrirReturns> ChaoRhi: I'm running screen in an Xterm
[05:46] <FenrirReturns> ChaoRhi: Basically I just want to change the window order, if that makes sense.
[05:47] <ferris_> is there any danger in closing port 161 (snmp) port?
[05:47] <ferris_> strike that last q
[05:47] <ChaoRhi> FenrirReturns: Ah.
[05:47] <netterbooker> it worked! :)
[05:48] <rinku_kokiri> ChaoRhi, i see the issue though, when you go to uninstall, it acts as if it's installing
[05:48] <sujith> how i can use my gnome more effictively
[05:49] <linguinii> #ubuntustudio
[05:49] <ferris_> realeyes, I installed firestarter... it can't hurt to install a firewall... I would/did.
[05:49] <fffffs> sujith, expalin yourself
[05:49] <jondowd>  C
[05:49] <rootlinuxusr>  do-release-upgrade states 'No New Release Found' status set to normal, not 'never' or 'lts' only, the system is 9.04 trying to upgrade to 10.04. Any ideas?
[05:49] <fffffs> ferris_, firestarted is abandoned and not tha firewall
[05:49] <sujith> how to get wine for ubuntu10.10
[05:50] <fffffs> sujith, winehq.org
[05:50] <maco> ferris_: the iptables firewall is there by default, as is the easier-to-use command line configuration interface for it, ufw. firestarter is just an unmaintained graphical  configuration interface for it
[05:50] <hauk142> i use firestarter
[05:50] <fffffs> sujith, version in repo is shit
[05:50] <maco> ferris_: gufw is a maintained one
[05:50] <jondowd> ChaoRhi: http://aperiodic.net/screen/quick_reference
[05:50] <fffffs> why that crap is in repository then?
[05:50] <hauk142> never bothered to learn about iptables.....
[05:51] <ChaoRhi> rootlinuxusr: Try going 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04.1 LTS
[05:51] <rinku_kokiri> http://hubpages.com/hub/Ubuntu-Offline-Upgrade
[05:51] <rinku_kokiri> rootlinuxusr, Please note that you CANNOT jump versions when doing an upgrade.
[05:52] <ferris_> maco,  I will check it out. thanks for the point in the right direction...
[05:52] <rinku_kokiri> U must go 8.04 to 8.10, 8.10 to 9.04, 9.04 to 9.10, 9.10 to 10.04, 10.04 to 10.10, 10.10
[05:53] <maco> rinku_kokiri: you can jump *some* versions
[05:53] <rww> rinku_kokiri: actually, you can upgrade LTS to LTS, so it's 8.04 to 10.04, 10.04 to 10.10.
[05:53] <maco> rootlinuxusr, rinku_kokiri:  8.04 -> 10.04 is valid
[05:53] <hauk142> o hey anyone know how to install BF2 Standalone server on ubuntu server 10.10???
[05:53] <ChaoRhi> rootlinuxusr was trying to go 9.04->10.04
[05:53] <Chaorain> I'm trying to install my hvr-2250 is anyone familiar with this card?
[05:54] <rootlinuxusr> Which is what I'm trying to do, so how would I get it to even recognize that 9.10 or 10.04 is available(it's currently 9.04'd)
[05:54] <ChaoRhi> !Networking | Chaorain
[05:55] <jordan> anyone here?
[05:55] <jordan> Hi
[05:55] <jordan> I need a little help
[05:55] <ferris_> hello jordan
[05:55] <Chaorain> ChaoRhi: um its a TV tunner, I found some information but I could use some help
[05:56] <jordan> I'm trying to set up SDL to work with an IDE in ubuntu
[05:56] <jordan> But I can't get it to work on any of them...do you know anything about it?
[05:56] <rootlinuxusr> !Networking | rootlinuxusr
[05:58] <ferris_> jordan, I can't help with that... i do not know what sdl is or what it does.
[05:58]  * frostthejack hmmm
[05:59] <ferris_> jordan, what is sdl?
[05:59] <ferris_> !sdl
[05:59] <jordan> it's a graphics program for c++
[05:59] <jordan> not  a program, but a library.
[06:00] <lankapo_> hi
[06:00] <jordan> Stands for Simple Direct-media Layer
[06:00] <rootlinuxusr> What's the cli command to detect network interfaces?
[06:00] <rootlinuxusr> lspci?
[06:00] <jordan> yes
[06:00] <rigved> !info sdl
[06:00] <netterbooker> can some one point me to a doc for setting up duel boot with the advanced install
[06:01] <jordan> But don't I have to set up the linkers and stuff?
[06:01] <jordan> BTW, package sdl does exist. Lol
[06:02] <Zack> When i attempt to 'reload' the package manager i get the error "W: An error occurrsed during the signature verification.

[06:03] <rootlinuxusr> http://pastebin.com/0y1Qh84n Get this from lspci, one of these have a Cat6 cable, is there a way to detect which is plugged in - trying to setup ifconfig, i think it's not upgrading because i can't ping google. >_> but I can ping locally.
[06:03] <ferris_> netterbooker,  if you start your pc with the ubuntu disk press the down arrow key and you will see a language menu... press the "esc" key and then choose install... the only real dangerous part is during the partitioning of the drive.
[06:03] <Zack> thanks.. i'll try that.. results from google are not helping. >.<
[06:04] <netterbooker> yes.. i am to the partitioning part
[06:04] <ferris_> pm me. I can help you through it
[06:05] <netterbooker> k thanks!
[06:05] <Zack> Thanks maco! You're my hero. ^.^
[06:05] <maco> np
[06:06] <Zack> i kind of also accidentally buttoned through the window telling me about upgrades - does edit>mark all upgrades auto find all upgrades? or is there another way to do that?
[06:07] <Ycarene> Is there a way to downgrade the nvidia drivers from the 260.19.21 version to the 195.36.24 version?
[06:07] <jordan> You wouldn't wanna do that
[06:07] <jordan> It will cause a lot of display problems
[06:07] <Jeremiah_> Hey all quick ? how would u  find out why u got banned from a channel
[06:07] <lea123> My sound recorder doesn't seem to work in 10.10 Anybody having a clue how to set it up ? It works perfectly fine in Vista
[06:08] <Ycarene> Jordan I'm having a lot of "display" problems now
[06:08] <Ycarene> jordan the way to fix it is to downgrade
[06:08] <jordan> You sure?
[06:08] <jordan> I don't know how to whisper or w/e
[06:08] <Ycarene> Yes
[06:09] <Ycarene>  /msg
[06:09] <Ycarene> Or do I just uninstall what I have and manually install the drivers I need?
[06:09] <jordan> I know how
[06:12] <ubuXubu> Jeremiah_, in channel run the info command which willshow the channel founder, then memom
[06:13] <ubuXubu> memo that person
[06:14] <glebihan> Jeremiah_: if it's an ubuntu channel, you can ask on #ubuntu-ops
[06:14] <rww> glebihan: I don't think it is, though I've been wrong before.
[06:17] <linuxuz3r> !unity
[06:17] <APS-IN> hi
[06:17] <Jeremiah_> !info #backtrack-linux
[06:17] <APS-IN> hi is it possible in vim to split a window where i can see a file and command prompt on a same window?
[06:17] <APS-IN> I am new to vim
[06:18] <ChaoRhi> !vim | APS-IN
[06:18] <wakkarto> i have gefore gt 240 and install the driver for linux from nvidia.com. it works well until i apt-get dist-upgrade to update the latest ubuntu kernel and now my pc can no longer run X (no GUI) just text mode like a server. i am running ubuntu 10.10 btw. any ideas?
[06:18] <ChaoRhi> Bleh, that didn't work as intended
[06:18] <rww> Jeremiah_: users with the ident "root", like yourself, are banned from #backtrack-linux. You may just want to change your ident/username (not nickname) in your IRC client and reconnect to freenode.
[06:19] <humanMeat> anyone ever configured squid with openvpn?
[06:19] <anon33_> for some reason, clicking the lock in Date & Time doesn't unlock it for me
[06:20] <anon33_> is there a way to quickly amend this problem?
[06:20] <humanMeat> bah. all i can find in Google are unanswered single post threads about squid/openvpn
[06:21] <solofight> rww: :)
[06:21] <APS-IN> thanks #ubottu i know that vim is a terminal based editor but I am confused that is it possible to split the terminal in two part where I am access both the file and the terminal(command prompt) so that I don't have to switch to other terminal to work on console.
[06:22] <epiderm> спецы по seo тут есть?)
[06:22] <maco> !ru | epiderm
[06:22] <Daniel0108> hi
[06:22] <epiderm> sry
[06:22] <rww> solofight: hello :)
[06:23] <owen1__> i try to install ubuntu 10.10 on macbookpro. how to get to the bios to tell it to boot from a cd?
[06:24] <solofight> people i want to install 3 os on my laoptop, ubuntu 64 bit, windows xp and windows 7 64 bit, i have faced the situation of installing linux first and then the windows os and my linux dosent appear in the boot menu options. So wanted to confirm here before proceeding. I would like to have two choices initially ubuntu and windows and default boot as ubuntu if a choice has not been made for x...
[06:24] <solofight> ...seconds... and if the choice made was windows, i would like to give them option to choose xp or windows 7 in the next screen with default boot as 7
[06:24] <solofight> so how do i proceed ?
[06:24] <solofight> kindly suggest
[06:25] <nomad99> !grub | solofight
[06:25] <rww> solofight: I'd probably do Windows XP, then Windows 7, then Ubuntu, but I haven't done this before and am not at all a dualbooting expert.
[06:26] <Primedeath> I was wondering if I was able to install Ubuntu onto my USB HDD's secondary partition that I made. Or would I have to devote the entire drive for it, or would I have to make the ext4 partition the first partition?
[06:26] <solofight> rww: yeah in any order is ok, but how to ?
[06:26] <solofight> 1. ubuntu 2. windows if 2 selected 1. xp 2. win 7
[06:27] <Primedeath> Pokes,
[06:27] <solofight> or any order for that matter, but want the windows under a single tag
[06:27] <venilsurya> How well does Windows 7 run in VirtualBox?
[06:28] <karthick87> How to install insight debugger in maverick?
[06:29] <karthick87> venilsurya: yes windows 7 will run in virtual box
[06:29] <Primedeath> No, how well does it.
[06:29] <Primedeath> Of course it does.
[06:29] <solofight> venilsurya: wrong place to ask, how well is completely depend on your hardware i guess. virtual box already eats memory
[06:29] <nomtv80> not as well as dual boot
[06:29] <venilsurya> Well, I can allocate 1GB of RAM and 20GB hard disk space
[06:30] <solofight> venilsurya: nomtv80++
[06:30] <Primedeath> Do you need it for Netflix? =-p
[06:30] <Primedeath> Haha.
[06:30] <owen1__> i can't figure out a way to boot macbookpro from 10.10 cd. i tried ubuntu, xubuntu and xubuntu alternate cd. nothing works. any ideas?
[06:30] <Primedeath> venilsurya, you'll be fine.
[06:30] <venilsurya> Primedeath: Thanks - I don't NEED it for anything. Just want to try it out
[06:30] <karthick87> venilsurya: I am using windows7 in my virtualbox and it works fine.But the only thing is it eats your RAM
[06:30] <Primedeath> Just a suggestion, if you have the space on a second HDD.. I would use that.
[06:31] <venilsurya> Primedeath: I'm going to do exactly that
[06:31] <Primedeath> Pfft, then it'll run just fine.
[06:31] <varun> hello everyone
[06:31] <Primedeath> :]
[06:31] <varun> varun here
[06:31] <varun> question about ns2
[06:31] <Primedeath> Really? I thought your nick was MormonJesus.
