[18:06] <teligard2> I need to boot the xbmc clients while still allowing the router/dhcp server that's in place, to do it's job.
[18:07] <mystique> my windows keep on getting very straight edges and making it hard to manipulate or move around, any ideas on what I should do?
[18:07] <Nutily> how i can test if my video card is installed?
[18:07] <teligard2> I've never set up a diskless server in linux
[18:08] <DasEi> teligard2: so you first set up ubuntu with pxe boot, then point it to your dhcp server, then install xbmc
[18:09] <GirlyGirl> Nutily: Does 3d acceleration work?
[18:09] <GirlyGirl> Nutily: If unity 3d works it is probably working
[18:09] <HelenB> :o
[18:10] <HelenB> me unbanned?
[18:10] <HelenB> okay
[18:10] <DasEi> HelenB: seems so
[18:10] <JonLimitless> !wifi
[18:10] <GirlyGirl> Nutily: What is the graphic card you have? If its Intel it is possibly working
[18:10] <DasEi> teligard2: http://tinyurl.com/bsu5emc
[18:10] <HelenB> when I plug in my phone
[18:11] <HelenB> it says the following
[18:11] <HelenB> Unable to mount Helens phone
[18:11] <HelenB> Unhandled Lockdown error (-15)
[18:11] <HelenB> also...
[18:11] <HelenB> Rhythmbox isn't detecting it. :(
[18:11] <HelenB> but I want to put music on my iPhone.
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> HelenB: ease up on the enter key
[18:12] <HelenB> ActionParsnip, No because I find it hard to think whilst I'm typing.
[18:12] <HelenB> so I'm a bit slow.

[18:12] <angs> my question is not about ubuntu, but I would be glad if someone knows the answer: what is the difference buying a domain name on yahoo and godaddy?
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> HelenB: then don't type. Think, then type more

[18:13] <JonLimitless> hey i can't get my network to connect even through a eternet cord to the modem
[18:13] <usr13> HelenB: He's not asking you to go, just trying to help you  get the help you want.
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> Angablade: i'd ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:13] <someone34242> hello, could someone help me with this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236093 i need to set up my new domain on server, but i don't know how. i already buy domain and in settings i have two fields for ip
[18:14] <someone34242> what i have to do?
[18:14] <ikonia> someone34242: you really don't want to try to host a dns server yourself
[18:14] <trafalgar> !ciao
[18:14] <usr13> JonLimitless: So you've connected your ethernet port to a modem via cat5 cable?  And...?
[18:14] <ikonia> someone34242: ask the people you bought the domain from to manage your dns
[18:14] <HelenB> usr13, I'm slow which is why I don't keep my stuff on one line sometimes.
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> JonLimitless: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:15] <trism> HelenB: that sounds like bug 877440 see comment #11 for a workaround that works for me
[18:15] <JonLimitless> usr13, i am connect via cat5 cable to the modem, and the pc won't register its connected
[18:15] <HelenB> :o
[18:15] <usr13> !iphone | HelenB
[18:15] <JonLimitless> actionparsnip, connect network is unreachable
[18:15] <someone34242> ikonia: ok, what i will have to send to registrar?
[18:16] <ikonia> someone34242: the ip address of the dns servers you want to use
[18:16] <usr13> JonLimitless: sudo dhclient eth0
[18:16] <JonLimitless> cannot find device eth0
[18:16] <usr13> JonLimitless: ifconfig
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> HelenB: have you tried banshee? When you last unplugged it did you safe remove the device or did you just pull it out?
[18:17] <JonLimitless> everything came up negative
[18:17] <HelenB> ActionParsnip, Banshee is buggy.
[18:17] <usr13> JonLimitless: (does the command ifconfig tell you anything about eth0 or eth1 or...?
[18:17] <HelenB> so no I haven't.
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> !adsl | JonLimitless this is all I know
[18:17] <someone34242> ikonia: this ip will be from dns where i buy domain?
[18:17] <JonLimitless> no usr13 it says nothing only talks about the loopback
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> HelenB:and my second question....
[18:18] <Nutily> GirlyGirl, what i shold look for?
[18:18] <HelenB> usr13, I tried that solution ages ago.
[18:19] <HelenB> but there are missing packages
[18:19] <someone34242> ikonia: this ip will be from dns where i buy domain?
[18:19] <ikonia> someone34242: no, it is the TWO dns servers you want to host your domains dns data

[18:19] <xangua> HelenB: what ubuntu version do you use¿ do you use third party repositories¿
[18:19] <JonLimitless> okay actionparsnip, my cd rom isn't recognized so i won't be able to use it for this install type
[18:20] <Cygnus-X1> It just keeps ringing to voicemail
[18:20] <Nutily> can someone help me with wifi card and video card for dell inspirion 1520
[18:20] <someone34242> ikonia: what i must do on my server to get all this things working?
[18:20] <xr1rr> I removed some files on git but on commit they are showing still on main website
[18:20] <xr1rr> anyone have any ideas
[18:20] <DasEi> HelenB: just as a try, could try to remove modemmanager, that sometimes interferes with usb
[18:21] <FerkSwe> Is it possible to actually get Ubuntu on your Android at the moment?
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> Nutily: run:  sudo lshw -C network     what is the product line for the wifi? Also what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[18:21] <HelenB> I said earlier that it's 11.10
[18:21] <dackyshawn> FerkSwe: slightly off-topic, but yes supposedly it is possible
[18:22] <FerkSwe> Is there a more proper channel to talk about it in?
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> !rootirc | Guest19619
[18:22] <dackyshawn> FerkSwe: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[18:22] <dackyshawn> a simple google search would have answered for you
[18:23] <nemik> how could i add an icon to the favorites sidebar on Unity from the command-line?
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> HelenB: do you use the safe remove feature of your OS or do you just unplug it?
[18:23] <JonLimitless> Okay so its says it already has the best pppoeconf and none of this tutorial applies. i'm pretty sure the firmware for the wireless card is not on the system
[18:23] <Nutily> ActionParsnip, product: BCM4311 802.11a/b/g product: BCM4311 802.11a/b/g
[18:23] <nemik> is there some file where those are kept? what does dconf-editor use?
[18:23] <FerkSwe> I did google and I did read all that but it did not include any actual information as to getting it on your phone.
[18:23] <HelenB> ActionParsnip, I thought I had to just unplug it in Ubuntu. :o
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | Nutily
[18:24] <ikonia> someone34242: ask your hosting provider to manage DNS and give you the information
[18:24] <HelenB> but the problem occurs everytime I reboo
[18:24] <HelenB> t
[18:24] <HelenB> then relog into ubuntu
[18:24] <HelenB> the message comes up.
[18:24] <Nutily> ActionParsnip, lsb_release -sc shows -> oneiric
[18:24] <someone34242> ikonia: thanks!
[18:24] <someone34242> bye
[18:24] <HelenB> I don't safely remove because I can't mount it so there's no need to safely remove.
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> HelenB: no you MUST safe remove any hardware in any OS. Why do you think its in the OS?
[18:25] <ikonia> HelenB: bottom line is apple devices are just not well supported in Linux
[18:25] <HelenB> I can't put Windows on this hardware.
[18:25] <HelenB> so
[18:25] <HelenB> I've no choice but to use Ubuntu.
[18:26] <HelenB> just help me fix it.
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> HelenB: safe remove flushes the buffers and tells the OS that the hardware is gone
[18:26] <HelenB> oh
[18:26] <ikonia> HelenB: the bottom line is apple devices are just not well supported on Linux
[18:26] <ikonia> HelenB: if you want your apple devices to work as well as they do on Windows/Mac - contact apple and lodge a complaint
[18:26] <HelenB> ActionParsnip, So how do I safely remove? :o
[18:26] <FerkSwe> I'm running Ubuntu on my mac. It's working perfect
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> HelenB: you are abusing your hardware. It causes issues. Please use in future
[18:27] <ikonia> FerkSwe: no-one said it didn't
[18:27] <Nutily> ActionParsnip, and how about 8400 video card?
[18:27] <FerkSwe> Wasn't really following the conversation, I just saw the part about apple and ubuntu.
[18:27] <trism> HelenB: did you try the workaround in the comment in the bug I posted above? (device pair/unpair). Also seems to be fixed in 12.04
[18:27] <HelenB> ActionParsnip, but idk how to safely remove. lol
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> HelenB: it will show in unity panel. Right click -> safe remove
[18:27] <HelenB> I don't use Unity.
[18:28] <wtwtwt> hello
[18:28] <irule> hi, I have a "Communication controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem (rev 01)" and would like to make it work in a new linux with kernel 3.0.0-12-generic-pae , is this possible?
[18:28] <HelenB> because it uses stupid amounts of resources.
[18:28] <wtwtwt> I have problem of bootup
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> HelenB: in windows its in the system tray near the clock
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> HelenB: or you can do it in nautilus. Unity2D is very light
[18:29] <HelenB> ActionParsnip, I'm usng Ubuntu? lol
[18:29] <wtwtwt> from power on to grub 10sec, and from grub to os, 100secs, what can I do?
[18:29] <HelenB> ActionParsnip, I do NOT have Unity!
[18:29] <HelenB> I use gnome 2
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> HelenB: its just to educate.
[18:30] <ikonia> HelenB: gnome 2 has been dropped from ubuntu at 11.10 so where did you get gnome 2 ?
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> HelenB. Again, you can do it in nautilus, 2nd time
[18:30] <HelenB> AcidRain2012, apt-get install gnome
[18:30] <I_> The linux mint guy is forking gnome 2 in his project called cinnamon looks to be great
[18:30] <ikonia> HelenB: I don't think so,
[18:30] <ikonia> !info gnome
[18:30] <HelenB> I DID
[18:30] <HelenB> I did!
[18:30] <HelenB> I did apt-get install gnome
[18:30] <ikonia> HelenB: gnome is gnome3
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> Helenb: you may need a windows pc to mount, then safely unmount the storage
[18:31] <I_> So guys right now who has the better drivers Nvidia or AMD
[18:31] <ikonia> I_: depends on your card and your end goal
[18:31] <brad[]> ikonia: in 11.10, gnome is still gnome2
[18:31] <ikonia> brad[]: is it really ?
[18:31] <HelenB> ikonia, It's gnome 2
[18:31] <brad[]> yeah
[18:31] <HelenB> I can take a screenshot
[18:31] <I_> I just want to play HD video
[18:31] <trism> brad[]: no, it is not
[18:31] <brad[]> ikonia: crap, no I'm wrong - 11.04 is what I'm thinking of
[18:31] <ikonia> brad[]: what repo is it in ?
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> I_. I'd say nvidia, neither are outright better
[18:31] <Nutily> how i can see if i have corectly installed video card..?
[18:31] <Layke2> How would I run a command in the background? Like fork it off, I don't care about any console output
[18:31] <I_> ok thanks so much
[18:32] <ikonia> !info gnome 11.10
[18:32] <Layke2> && is to run after something right. And what is to just run in the background?
[18:32] <ikonia> !info gnome oneiric
[18:32] <itaylor57> Layke2, <command> > /dev/null &
[18:32] <I_> http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/ here is a project to fork gnome2
[18:32] <Layke2> Thanks.
[18:32] <ikonia> I_: we know
[18:33] <I_> or use xubuntu if you hate gnome 3 and ubiquity, xfce isn't too bad
[18:33] <HelenB> I_, Wait...
[18:33] <qubit[0|1]> Layke2, just a single '&'
[18:33] <HelenB> I'm using a fork? :o
[18:33] <I_> there is no spoon
[18:33] <HelenB> I_, That was a serious question.
[18:33] <ikonia> HelenB: no, it's not in ubuntu
[18:33] <HelenB> gimme straight answer please.
[18:33] <HelenB> ikonia, Oh.
[18:34] <ikonia> HelenB: hence why he said "in mint"
[18:34] <Layke2> Thanks. :) It still actually outputts everything in the window I ran it from though odly.
[18:34] <Layke2> sudo java -jar start.jar  > /dev/null &
[18:34] <HelenB> ikonia, gnome 2 on 11.10
[18:34] <DasEi> Layke2: http://tinyurl.com/y93ksz5
[18:34] <HelenB> http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1441/hmmidkscreeny.png
[18:34] <I_> I can't stand ubiquity or gnome 3 either one to be honest,  I am glad gnome 2 has been forked
[18:35] <itaylor57> Layke2, <command> > /dev/null 2>&1 &
[18:35] <DasEi> I_: looked at other wm's already ? I like lubuntu
[18:35] <ikonia> HelenB: I know the packages exist, however they are not part of the ubuntu desktop any more
[18:35] <ikonia> HelenB: I actually thought they had been totally removed from the official repos on 11.10 onwards
[18:36] <Layke2> Can you explain that to me? It writes the <command> output to /dev/null right? Then what's the 2>&1 & bit do?
[18:36] <itaylor57> Layke2, 2>&1 says take stderr and redirect it like stdout 2stderr 1 stdout
[18:36] <trism> HelenB: that is gnome 3 fallback mode, not gnome 2
[18:36] <I_> I haven't messed much with it, I use xfce right now till cinnamon becomes default in linux mint
[18:36] <HelenB> trism, Huh?
[18:36] <HelenB> I don't like gnome 3
[18:36] <trism> HelenB: it is the gnome panel ported to gnome 3
[18:36] <HelenB> it hogs like unity
[18:36] <ikonia> HelenB: then don't use it
[18:36] <trism> HelenB: well gtk3 that is
[18:36] <DasEi> I_: ok, mind
[18:36] <HelenB> it's the shell that hogs
[18:36] <DasEi> !mint
[18:36] <diamonds> I can't seem to overwrite any files on the server I'm sshfs'd to
[18:36] <HelenB> the panels don't
[18:36] <xangua> HelenB: you are using gnome3...
[18:37] <HelenB> xangua, But I like the panel system.
[18:37] <Layke2> Greta all working easier thanks. I had to keep having temrinal windows lying around. It was annoying :)
[18:37] <HelenB> so I'll continue to use the panel system.
[18:37] <diamonds> oops meant to ask in linux
[18:37] <aimka> Hi
[18:37] <ikonia> helen from 12.04 onwards there will be no gnome2 style components
[18:37] <DasEi> Layke2: screen might be of interest
[18:37] <trism> not true, we have gnome 3 fallback in 12.04 as well
[18:37] <DasEi> !screen
[18:37] <ikonia> HelenB: the sooner you accept this and find a long term replacement the easier you will find it
[18:37] <iksik> hello
[18:38] <aimka> Is it the good place to talk about the package ifenslave-2.6 in Ubuntu Precise ?
[18:38] <usr13> HelenB: If you want efficiency, try xfce  (apt-get install xubuntu-desktop)  [just a suggestion/option]
[18:38] <HelenB> then until 12 is out
[18:38] <Layke2> I typed screen also, it was outputting all the content back in the main window still
[18:38] <HelenB> I wont be changing from gnome 3 panels
[18:38] <wtwtwt> hello
[18:38] <Layke2> I guess I could just close it and open a new one though
[18:38] <GirlyGirl> HelenB: Might I suggest giving a Kubuntu and Xubuntu livecd a try
[18:38] <wtwtwt> I am installing Ubuntu 10.04.4 on Atom. I have problem of bootup, from poweron to grub 10 secs, from grub to os around 100secs, what can I do?
[18:38] <DasEi> aimka: #ubuntu+1 rather
[18:38] <HelenB> GirlyGirl, Nope.
[18:38] <aimka> ok, thx ;)
[18:39] <iksik> i'm looking for some working macro recorder/player which can record and play mouse moves and keyboard sequence... i've tested autokey and gnee, under 11.04 - the first one crashes, and the second one, does not seems to work... any recommendations?
[18:39] <usr13> HelenB: What do you mean, Nope?  Why not?
[18:39] <HelenB> because regardless of what WM/DE I've got on my system.
[18:39] <HelenB> I should still get supported
[18:39] <ikonia> it's fine, she can use what she wants,
[18:40] <ikonia> HelenB: you are supported
[18:40] <HelenB> there is always console
[18:40] <HelenB> if gnome 3 can't safely remove a device.
[18:40] <ikonia> people are just trying to save you from a bad migration to gnome3, if you want to continue down the path you are going, that's fine
[18:40] <ikonia> HelenB: gnome3 can safley remove devices without issue
[18:40] <usr13> ikonia: recordmydesktop - Captures audio-video data of a Linux desktop session
[18:40] <ikonia> usr13: pardon ?
[18:40] <HelenB> If i can't get gnome panels in ubuntu 12
[18:40] <xangua> HelenB: as you were told you should have right clic and select to safetly remove
[18:41] <HelenB> then I'll simply switch to something like fluxbox
[18:41] <usr13> wrong nic?
[18:41] <ikonia> HelenB: great, so that's your desktop migration sorted for the future
[18:41] <JonLimitless> so i am trying to install dkms to my system because i need it to install the wifi firmware, except it needs the internet to install the dkms. What do i do?

[18:41] <slipp3d> is anyone having issues with bluetooth audio ?   Right now I can't receive audio but I can send
[18:41] <HelenB> wait a minute...
[18:41] <HelenB> all right clicking a device does is unmounts it
[18:42] <iksik> usr13: i need a macro recorder, not a video recorder :P
[18:42] <Guest70951> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[18:42] <HelenB> but my iphone has never been mounted.
[18:42] <JonLimitless> !cdrom
[18:42] <ikonia> HelenB: it has
[18:42] <GirlyGirl> HelenB: I use KDE and you can set the panel settings as you like to resemble gnome 2 or in any way you want. I believe the same can be achieved with xfce. Using a different de still means you are using Ubuntu and are supported
[18:42] <ikonia> HelenB: it mounts it when you plug it in
[18:42] <usr13> ikonia: Oh, sorry...
[18:42] <HelenB> ikonia, no it hasn't
[18:42] <Guest70951> im new in this
[18:42] <JonLimitless> ! cdrom
[18:42] <usr13> iksik: Oh, sorry...
[18:42] <HelenB> I right click on it
[18:42] <ikonia> HelenB: I'm pretty sure it has, it auto mounts it when you plug it in
[18:42] <HelenB> and it says
[18:42] <HelenB> Unable to mount Helens phone
[18:42] <HelenB> so it hasn't been mounted.
[18:42] <xangua> HelenB: do you use latest iOS ¿
[18:42] <ikonia> HelenB: there you go then, so that's why you can't unmount it
[18:43] <ikonia> HelenB: it can't mount it as I said apple device has poor support in linux
[18:43] <HelenB> xangua, iOS 5.1
[18:43] <xangua> oneiric doesn¿t supports iOS 5 HelenB
[18:43] <HelenB> oh
[18:43] <JonLimitless> anyone know a link to the cd rom tutorial?
[18:43] <trism> HelenB: one last time, this is a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libplist/+bug/877440 it is fixed in precise but not oneiric
[18:43] <HelenB> is there support in 12?
[18:43] <JonLimitless> ! disk drive
[18:43] <DasEi> iksik: right , the gui type, same engine
[18:43] <ikonia> HelenB: I wouldn't count on any apple support in any distro
[18:43] <JonLimitless> !diskdrive
[18:44] <xangua> HelenB: it might, but as always apple is gonna upgrade iOS and break support
[18:44] <ikonia> HelenB: any apple device that works is a bonus as apple can stop it working at any time with any ios update
[18:44] <GirlyGirl> HelenB: Yes ios 5.1 will work in precise ... works for me in any case
[18:44] <DasEi> JonLimitless: want to manually mount a cd ?
[18:44] <zacktu> My unity sidebar doesn't retreat.  Dunno why.  Is there a setting for that?
[18:44] <ubuntu__1> Hi. I have a question...I just installed NVidia video drivers, and it asks me to restart to use the drivers. However, since I'm running Ubuntu from CD and I'm currently uploading 500000 files, that seems a bit of an impractical solution. Is there a way to use the video drivers without rebooting? (Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit)
[18:44] <Nutily> how i can now that my video card is installed corectly..?
[18:44] <HelenB> Apple are stupid.
[18:44] <HelenB> and so are all the other companies for not supporting Linux
[18:44] <ikonia> HelenB: I'd drop the desire for your apple device to work in linux it will not be an easy road
[18:44] <ikonia> HelenB: they are not stupid
[18:44] <xangua> HelenB: is actually a never ending story, when an ubuntu version is released it supports the current iOS version, then apple upgrade it and it no longer supports it
[18:44] <trism> HelenB: there is also a workaround listed in that bug by installing libimobiledevice-utils and using idevicepair unpair && idevicepair pair;
[18:44] <JonLimitless> no dasei, my diskdrive is not reading and i need it to install some firmware, so where could i find the firmware at within the install files?
[18:44] <csharp> zacktu: install ccsm and click on the Unity plugin
[18:44] <GirlyGirl> HelenB: But I won't rely on it working forever
[18:45] <HelenB> trism, Like I said ealier
[18:45] <HelenB> I tried installing those packages
[18:45] <Artemis3> ubuntu__1, no, if you allocated space to save changes (ie an usb stick) the changes will take effect, otherwise they will be lost.
[18:45] <HelenB> but some of them gave me 404 errors
[18:45] <ikonia> HelenB: well, now you know and understand the situation
[18:45] <DasEi> JonLimitless: cdrom or hd ?
[18:45] <alusion> Hello Ubuntu I am having a problem with Ubuntu 11.10 unable to start Chromium browser
[18:45] <JonLimitless> cd rom, dasei
[18:45] <alusion> Heres the pastebin of what it says in terminal
[18:45] <alusion> http://pastebin.com/ZvngX2df
[18:45] <Nutily> how now that my video card driver is installed corectly?
[18:46] <DasEi> JonLimitless: insert a cd, open a terminal :
[18:46] <JonLimitless> ok, what now dasei
[18:46] <trism> HelenB: there is only one package, libimobiledevice-utils, it is in universe
[18:46] <DasEi> JonLimitless: sudo mkdir /media/cd && sudo mount /dev/cdrom0 /media/cd
[18:46] <GirlyGirl> alusion: "killall chromium-browser" and try again
[18:46] <csharp> alusion: seen this?: http://n00bsys0p.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/google-chrome-failed-to-create-a-processsingleton-for-your-profile-directory-fix/
[18:46] <HelenB> trism, but I need idevicepair and unpair
[18:47] <trism> HelenB: those are in libimobiledevice-utils
[18:47] <trism> HelenB: those are the commands you run in a terminal after installing
[18:47] <HelenB> oh :o
[18:47] <ubuntu__1> That is unfortunate. Not even Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup works correctly, and I suspect lack of video card drivers are to blame.
[18:47] <alusion> no process found for browser
[18:47] <JonLimitless> dev/cdrom0 doesn't exist dasei
[18:47] <alusion> AHH my partition has been full
[18:48] <DasEi> JonLimitless:  /dev/cdrom0 ?
[18:48] <HelenB> trism, I ran the commands but still unable to mount the device.
[18:48] <HelenB> what does this do?
[18:48] <JonLimitless> yes, my error was"mount: special device /dev/cdrom0 does not exist"
[18:48] <HelenB> idk if I've even done it right.
[18:48] <JonLimitless> i think it needs the firmware, dasei
[18:49] <diamonds> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=318078
[18:49] <diamonds> ^is there a way to make this work for SVN?
[18:49] <trism> HelenB: after the pair/unpair you should be able to click the device in nautilus and it will mount (it worked for me anyway)
[18:49] <diamonds> svn `mv`s files internally so I can't throw a switch on it
[18:49] <HelenB> trism, wait...
[18:49] <trism> HelenB: otherwise you may need to wait for the fixed version in 12.04 when it comes out later this month
[18:49] <HelenB> I have to pair
[18:49] <HelenB> then unpair?
[18:50] <HelenB> because I did unpair then pair
[18:50] <trism> HelenB: unpair then pair, sorry
[18:50] <DasEi> JonLimitless: sudo apt-get install hwinfo pastebinit && sudo hwinfo | pastebinit
[18:50] <HelenB> not working
[18:50] <trism> HelenB: yes you are right, I typed it in the wrong order
[18:50] <playman> I accedentily deleted a show on my XBMC (running ubuntu 10.04) machine trough putty, how can I restore it?
[18:50] <diamonds> ah nm it's on the sshfs setup that the switch goes
[18:50] <jhutchins_wk> root can't access a user's encrypted home directory by changing the user's password can it?
[18:50] <OerHeks> jhutchins_wk, no, it can't.
[18:50] <Nutily> need help with wifi card..
[18:51] <JonLimitless> unable to locate package hwinfo && pastebinit
[18:51] <jhutchins_wk> That's sort of the point, isn't it?
[18:51] <HelenB> trism, wont mount.
[18:51] <DasEi> basics, Nutily:
[18:51] <DasEi> !wireless
[18:51] <HelenB> Are you using 11.10?
[18:51] <HelenB> I really want it to work.
[18:51] <HelenB> Are you using an iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1 ?
[18:51] <DasEi> JonLimitless: give url from terminal here
[18:51] <ikonia> HelenB: you can't depend on linux/apple working
[18:51] <JonLimitless> i don't have wifi on the pc
[18:51] <trism> HelenB: I was when I had the problem I am not now, some later comments suggest unplugging and replugging after the unpair/pair
[18:52] <JonLimitless> i need to install the cdrom to get the firmware for the wifi to work
[18:52] <Nutily> DasEi problem is sowhere but i cant find it, because after wifi driver i lost wifi card..
[18:52] <Kanerix> ...what
[18:52] <xangua> HelenB: if you really wish you can try downgrade the iOS version
[18:52] <HelenB> nope still not working.
[18:52] <DasEi> !info hwinfo
[18:52] <HelenB> xangua, How?
[18:52] <HelenB> :o
[18:52] <debora> gjk
[18:52] <HelenB> and which iOS version has nice support in Linux?
[18:52] <Nutily> DasEi, alredy did this... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[18:52] <ikonia> HelenB: none
[18:53] <DasEi> JonLimitless: which distro are you running (lsb_release -a)
[18:53] <xangua> HelenB: is actually a never ending story, when an ubuntu version is released it supports the current iOS version, then apple upgrade it and it no longer supports it - like i said, a NeverEndingStorie
[18:53] <ikonia> HelenB: plus everytime you try to sync your phone it will try to upgrade it
[18:53] <JonLimitless> lubuntu 11.10
[18:53] <DasEi> !broadcom | Nutily
[18:53] <DasEi> ah
[18:53] <ikonia> HelenB: again - the sooner you accept not depending on linux/apple compatability the sooner you can settle into your long term way of working
[18:53] <JonLimitless> Ubunutu 11.10, dasei
[18:53] <DasEi> !pm |JonLimitless
[18:54] <JonLimitless> Sorry, desai
[18:54] <Nutily> DasEi, after that i activete driver from aditional driver page..
[18:54] <prashant_123456> which version of mutt mail client i m using ??
[18:55] <DasEi> JonLimitless: so should have hwinfo n pastebinit, apt or sources borked ?
[18:55] <diamonds> http://www.hastebin.com/raw/waqoyuxaji
[18:55] <zacktu> I just discovered that my swap partition is commented out in /etc/fstab.  Is it okay to ensure that it has the correct UUID and then remove the #?
[18:55] <diamonds> ^is there not a better way than "kill"?
[18:55] <JonLimitless> it should of worked except my wifi isn't connected
[18:55] <DasEi> prashant_123456: apt-cache show mutt
[18:56] <ivancito> hola peña¡¡¡
[18:56] <DasEi> !es
[18:56] <Nutily> need free helper with video card and wifi
[18:56] <ivancito> hi everybody
[18:57] <playman> I accedentily deleted a show on my XBMC (running ubuntu 10.04) machine trough putty, how can I restore it?
[18:57] <waweee> Is there a twitter client for ubuntu that actually displays the twitter messages as an event individually? Choqok has a pop up but you have to click "Show" and it opens the application.
[18:57] <ikonia> playman: gone
[18:57] <jhutchins_wk> playman: Copy your backup.
[18:57] <DasEi> JonLimitless: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , universe enabled ?
[18:57] <dackyshawn> playman no guarentee u can
[18:58] <jhutchins_wk> playman: There is a utility called photorec that may be able to recover it if NOTHING has been written to the disk since.
[18:58] <playman> well if you can recover files in windows you certainly should be able to do that in linux
[18:58] <DasEi> playman: how did you delete, by rm ?
[18:58] <cargo23> +1 for photorec
[18:58] <ikonia> playman: how would you recover a file in windows that you'd deleted
[18:58] <dackyshawn> photorec might work
[18:59] <JonLimitless> that command doesn't work dasei,
[18:59] <DasEi> ??
[18:59] <playman> DasEi: nope, just used delete in win7
[18:59] <dackyshawn> huh?
[18:59] <ikonia> playman: files gone, sorry
[18:59] <dackyshawn> playman try photorec
[18:59] <DasEi> playman: if you went through putty and used rm, it's gone
[18:59] <playman> ikonia: I would go to the recicle bin and restore it :)
[18:59] <dackyshawn> MIGHT work, but dont hold your breath
[19:00] <ikonia> playman: right, you used a tool that overrides the recyle bin
[19:00] <dackyshawn> playman u deleted a file from a network not from the hd
[19:00] <ikonia> playman: it's the equivilent of hitting "empty recycle bin"
[19:00] <dackyshawn> hence no recycle bin
[19:00] <DasEi> playman: ssh is like acting local on the remote box
[19:00] <dackyshawn> DasEi: he did it from a network share i think
[19:00] <playman> DasEi: no I didint delete the file with rm, just right clicked it in win7 and deleted it, using shared disk
[19:01] <DasEi> playman: well look in the bin, but I'm not sure if that succeeds
[19:02] <DasEi> JonLimitless: sudo apt-get update    works ?
[19:02] <playman> ikonia: even if I not even used terminal to delete it? used no rm or anything like that, I just deleted it from my win7. the drive is mapped.
[19:03] <ikonia> playman: you used rm, it's gone
[19:03] <JonLimitless> says sorry try again
[19:03] <teligard2_> Hi all.  Does anyone know howto get an old wired xbox360 controller working in ubuntu 11.10
[19:03] <DasEi> JonLimitless: exact message ?
[19:03] <JonLimitless> yes
[19:03] <KM0201> playman: when you delete from a network drive, did you not see that warning "warning, file will deleted immediately" (or something to that effect?
[19:03] <teligard2_> I've installed xboxdrv-stable
[19:04] <Nutily> need free helper with video card and wifi
[19:04] <ikonia> Nutily: just ask the question if someone can help they will
[19:04] <playman> ikonia: by deleting the file in win7 enviroment, does that equal to rm?
[19:04] <DasEi> JonLimitless: very strange system you got there
[19:04] <matmats> i'm getting some weird error messages in syslog, any ideas whats wrong here? http://pastebin.com/7F032CVM
[19:04] <Nutily> ikonia noone want to help..
[19:04] <JonLimitless> mhmm, no wifi, or cdrom firmware installed after its up.. dasei
[19:04] <playman> KM0201: yes I did, but in some stupidity I chose the wrong file to delete :/
[19:05]  * DasEi phone, second
[19:05] <JonLimitless> let me restart my pc, dasei
[19:05] <KM0201> playman: my guess is, you won't make that mistake again... that dialogue box pops up for a reason... you essentially used a GUI version of RM
[19:05] <Nutily> ho can i check if i have installed video card driver and Ubuntu uses my video card..?
[19:05] <ikonia> Nutily: what video card are you using ?
[19:06] <KM0201> playman: naturally, since you have an up to date backup, this should be an easy thing to fix.
[19:06] <SofS> is this the right channel to ask about chrooting?
[19:06] <ikonia> Nutily: actually, have a read of https://help.ubuntu.com it will give you an introduction on using ubuntu, including setting up your video card and wireless
[19:06] <JonLimitless> okay, i needed a restart. Desai it said failed to get update. probably because the wifi firmware needs to be installed
[19:06] <arthas6667> i have a question, I run the Satanic distro of Ubuntu and was untill yesterday on 10.10 which  worked perfectly for me until it notified me that updates were no longer avalible, so i  upgraded to 11.04 which has unity and gnome 3 which i hate, r there any security issues staying  with 10.10 any help?? :(
[19:06] <ikonia> arthas6667: it's not supported here
[19:06] <ikonia> arthas6667: sorry
[19:06] <playman> KM0201: unfortunedly I dont have a backup for 4Tb
[19:07] <KM0201> ouch.
[19:07] <arthas6667> >ikonia ne suggestions as to where i should look for suppot
[19:07] <KM0201> playman: you live on the edge, sometimes you fall off.... what exactly did you lose?
[19:07] <ikonia> arthas6667: their website?
[19:08] <arthas6667> >ikonia it says nothing about security issues staying with 10.10 which no longer received updates
[19:08] <ikonia> arthas6667: sorry, contact the makers, it's not an ubuntu distro
[19:08] <arthas6667> kk thnx
[19:09] <matmats> hmm pff
[19:09] <Bennlucky7> my contact list is gone :'(
[19:09] <playman> KM0201: that's true, nothing major lost, I just lost 1 episode, and the DVD is scratched so I cant re-rip it, just wanted to save the hasle of getting me a new copy of the DVD
[19:09] <DasEi> JonLimitless: oh, so why not wire it ?
[19:09] <matmats> i think my hard disk is about to be gone
[19:10] <KM0201> playman: hmm, depending on the episode, you might be able tof ind a torrent
[19:10] <JonLimitless> it is wired in dasei, but the internet still doesn't work. i have the firmware files for the wifi but i need the cdrom to work to pull the data right. Really what i need to know is what and where can i find the firmware for cdrom
[19:11] <DasEi> JonLimitless: so you are speaking from a different machine ??
[19:11] <JonLimitless> yes dasei.
[19:11] <playman> KM0201: true, but becouse if my "perfectionist" I want the pure DVD rip with my language subtitle, wich I've never found.
[19:11] <Bennlucky7> so im using empathy in this chat.. but my contact list is gone right now
[19:11] <KM0201> play4:  i see
[19:12] <DasEi> JonLimitless: so first get the wired inet working
[19:12] <prashant_123456> DasEi, thanks for the help
[19:12] <Bennlucky7> why is that happen?
[19:12] <sorin_> I want an opinion on a dual boot installation, Ubuntu and xubuntu.How is better to do? on the same partition or another?
[19:12] <DasEi> np, prashant_123456
[19:12] <JonLimitless> i need the cdrom to work first to get the wired and wireless internet firmware to work, dasei
[19:13] <matmats> can someone please take a look at my syslog? what should i do with my hd? http://pastebin.com/7F032CVM
 I was using ubuntu before and graphics was working now a lot have changed i use Geforce 8400 on dell inspirion 1520 no support for it only 1525 version..
[19:13] <DasEi> JonLimitless: what a box is it ?
[19:13] <Bennlucky7> matmats: u need to check disk utility
[19:14] <JonLimitless> just a regular cd/dvd rom is install in my laptop, i need to figure where in the install files the firmware for it is, dasei
[19:14] <DasEi> matmats: try a fsck on the unmounted drive, if that doesn't do, use badblocks
[19:14] <DasEi> JonLimitless: which laptop, brand/model
[19:14] <matmats> hm ok, will do that
[19:14] <DasEi> matmats: need more help on it ?
[19:15] <DasEi> !info badblocks
[19:15] <JonLimitless> alienware m17x r-1, dasei
[19:15] <KM0201> sorin_: why would you want to do that?
[19:15] <sorin_> to install and Xubuntu
[19:16] <Bennlucky7> ubuntu is the best !
[19:16] <KM0201> sorin_: i guess i still don't understand
[19:16] <emu> What's the shortcut to go into the terminal if everything freezes?
[19:16] <sorin_> to install and use ubuntu but home in Ubuntu
[19:16] <L3mce> emu: try ctrl + alt + f2
[19:16] <matmats> DasEi: ill search on badblocks a bit and come back then
[19:17] <Nutily> need help installing drivers for dell inspiron 1520!
[19:17] <DasEi> JonLimitless: http://tinyurl.com/2cffmhk
[19:17] <sorin_> I want to install Xubuntu next ubuntu, but I use the drive home from ubunt
[19:17] <DasEi> usb should work to echange data , JonLimitless
[19:18] <matmats> err i tried badblocks /dev/sdb, now i'm waiting
[19:18] <Bennlucky7> emu: Keyboard shortcuts and insert whatever u want
[19:18] <DasEi> sorin_: no problem, just install xubuntu-desktop and choose as session at login-time
[19:18] <matmats> is that going to get me any results`
[19:18] <JonLimitless> thanks dasei, hopefully this has all i need
[19:18] <matmats> question mark
[19:18] <sorin_> Excuse English but live in romania
[19:18] <DasEi> JonLimitless: channel is laaaarge ;)
[19:18] <JonLimitless> hehe yeah dasei
[19:19] <matmats> (the device is unmounted)
[19:19] <OerHeks> sorin_, do you want to share your /home between ubuntu & xubuntu ?
[19:19] <sorin_> yes
[19:20] <Guest91583> hi
[19:20] <JonLimitless> ahhh says i can't install the dkms cause i need the internet, is there a way to change it from cdrom to usb stick desai?
[19:20] <OerHeks> sorin_, this is not advisable, AFAIK.
[19:20] <sorin_> its is posible?
[19:20] <sorin_> AFAIK?
[19:20] <DerMat> badblocks probably takes a while, right?
[19:20] <brontosaurusrex> sorin_, i never tryed, but i cant see why that wouldnt work
[19:20] <DasEi> matmats: for fsck it has to be unmounted, not for badblocks, first try if it's a FS-error, then examine surface of disk
[19:21] <DerMat> oh
[19:21] <Nutily> need help installing drivers for dell inspiron 1520!
[19:21] <DasEi> DerMat: badblocks is a time-eater, yes
[19:21] <sorin_> k,thk
[19:22] <DerMat> hmm it says the use of fsck on mounted devices fuehrt zu schwerwiegenden schaeden
[19:22] <Praxi> so while googling for a solution to copy & pasting TO putty, I notice everyone recomends to use other terminals.  The MAIN reason I use putty, it has an address book of sorts.
[19:22] <DasEi> DerMat: see above
[19:22] <Nutily> need help installing drivers for dell inspiron 1520 using Ubuntu 11.10!
[19:23] <DasEi> fsck=unmounted, badblocks=mounted
[19:23] <Praxi> if using ssh via regular terminal, is there anyway to get a address book?
[19:23] <DerMat> oh, right
[19:23] <DasEi> DerMat: usb-stick handy ?
[19:23] <parto> Nutily  Have you tried additional drivers
[19:23] <DasEi> DerMat: or live cd ?
[19:23] <brontosaurusrex> Praxi, is that a windows question?
[19:23] <DerMat> its a hard disk
[19:23] <DerMat> 2 tb ext4
[19:23] <Praxi> brontosaurusrex, no
[19:23] <Nutily> parto, for wifi car i tried this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[19:24] <DerMat> err and yeah
[19:24] <DerMat> i can get some stick
[19:24] <DasEi> DerMat: yes, but you are in need of booting from another medium so you can check the UNmounted hd
[19:24] <Praxi> the reason I use putty on UBUNTU is because it lets me save connections.  I can scroll through a list and choose the one I want to SSH to.  IN UBUNTU using the terminal and SSH do I have anything like that, that I'm just not aware of?
[19:24] <DerMat> that is not the boot device
[19:25] <geekbri> Praxi: You can use the .ssh/config file to setup saved connection information
[19:25] <brontosaurusrex> Praxi, oh, i see that putty is not only for win :)
[19:25] <DerMat> fsck says its not an ext2 fs
[19:25] <DasEi> DerMat: so a second hard drive ? well, unmount it before fsck'ing it
[19:25] <DerMat> which is it really is not
[19:25] <brontosaurusrex> Praxi, you could make aliases on other terms i guess
[19:25] <DerMat> its unmounted now
[19:26] <DerMat> can i fsck an ext4 partition?
[19:26] <DasEi> DerMat: sudo fdisk -l , which FS-type ?
[19:26] <brontosaurusrex> so say server1 is ssh myname@server1
[19:26] <DerMat> ext4
[19:26] <DasEi> fsck fine for extX
[19:26] <Nutily> need help installing drivers for dell inspiron 1520 using Ubuntu 11.10!
[19:26] <geekbri> Praxi: if you check out man ssh_config you'll see near the top in the description a bullet that says you can have user configurations in ~/.ssh/config.  You can setup hostname specific connection information
[19:26] <DasEi> DerMat: /dev/sdb ?
[19:26] <Praxi> awesome thanks geekbri reading now
[19:27] <DerMat> yes
[19:27] <JonLimitless> ahhh says i can't install the dkms cause i need the internet, is there a way to change it from cdrom to usb stick desai?
[19:27] <DasEi> DerMat: sudo fsck /dev/sdb1  -y (see output from fdisk to be sure)
[19:28] <Praxi> still reading, but for just a quick answer geekbri, I assume I can ssh to username@/dev/ttyusb0  or something similar?
[19:28] <DerMat> it says superblock unreadable
[19:29] <DerMat> fsck.ext2: Superblock ungültig versuche es mit Backup-Blöcken...
[19:29] <Bennlucky7> why my contact list is gone
[19:29] <geekbri> Praxi: while I haven't tried that myself yet, my guess would be yes.
[19:29] <DerMat> somehow it keeps using an ext2 version?
[19:29] <Nutily> can somone realy help me installing drivers for dell inspiron 1520 using Ubuntu 11.10! cant find any way to do this right... at least show me some working tutorial
[19:29] <grimeton> hi
[19:30] <grimeton> i'm just installing ubuntu and when i'm asked for the keyboard layout i can select whatever i want on the left side, the right side doesn't change
[19:30] <Bennlucky7> okay i get it done now
[19:30] <grimeton> left side -> column with basic layouts, right side -> column with detailed layouts
[19:30] <grimeton> any hints?
[19:31] <grimeton> looks like i killed the whole setup :/
[19:31] <DasEi> DerMat: does it check or not ?
[19:31] <DerMat> no, it doesnt check
[19:31] <L3mce> DasEi DerMat df -T
[19:31] <DerMat> just the error, it does check sdb2 though
[19:31] <DerMat> and it says recovering journal
[19:31] <DasEi> L3mce: checked fdisk -l
[19:32] <L3mce> if you are trying to determine FS type it won't say, other than "Linux"
[19:32] <geekbri> Praxi: googling "ssh user config" usually yields many useful results
[19:32] <DerMat> L3mce its not mounted
[19:32] <DerMat> atm
[19:32] <Nutily> can somone realy help me installing drivers for dell inspiron 1520 using Ubuntu 11.10! cant find any way to do this right... at least show me some working tutorial
[19:32] <DasEi> DerMat: good sign, again , look at fdisk -l, which fs is /dev/sdb1, extended lvm ??
[19:32] <zomgattax> omg... ubuntu secrets http://bit.ly/HxH14l
[19:32] <zomgattax> don't click thta
[19:32] <Praxi> roger geekbri lot of reading now hehe, short answer, I can't SSH a serial port
[19:32] <zomgattax> wrong window
[19:33] <lux_> I'm tired of windows!
[19:33] <geekbri> Praxi: sounds reasonable.  I've never tried to SSH to a serial port
[19:34] <DerMat> oddly sdb2 is not shown in fdisk -l, and sdb1 :
[19:34] <DerMat>    GerÃ¤t  boot.     Anfang        Ende     BlÃ¶cke   Id  System
[19:34] <DerMat> /dev/sdb1               1      266306<PHONE_NUMBER>+  ee  GPT
[19:34] <geekbri> DerMat: does file -s /dev/sdb2 show anything?
[19:34] <zomgattax> http://bit.ly/HxH14l
[19:34] <animazzurra32> salve
[19:34] <delinquentme> I've got a directory of numerous files in which I'd like to search for a fairly complex string .. and run a replace on them ... grep is the tool I want .. correct?   and is this too complex of a string to search for: http://pastie.org/3770073
[19:34] <DerMat> i thought theres just one partition on that disk
[19:34] <Nutily> why here noone willing to help
[19:34] <DerMat> i dont know why there are two
[19:34] <animazzurra32> nessun italiano?
[19:34] <DasEi> DerMat: so gpt-table, so all fine, check the linux/extended ones
[19:35] <parto> Nutily  That's quite a process. Try this: open dash and type drivers, choose additional drivers and see what comes up.
[19:35] <DerMat> mat@bb:/mnt$ sudo file -s /dev/sdb2
[19:35] <DerMat> /dev/sdb2: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=8ddc8220-ec41-4806-8311-aafdf11c961f (extents) (large files) (huge files)
[19:35] <men> How do I install ubuntu under Windows?
[19:35] <DasEi> DerMat: there you go
[19:35] <SofS> is there a way to change the kernel seen within a chroot (like by "uname -r" and modprobe)
[19:35] <DasEi> !vm | men
[19:35] <Bennlucky7> why everytime i go to sdb there is an icon mounted?
[19:36] <DerMat> hmm, so, i'm good now?
[19:36] <ikonia> SofS: there is only one kernel running
[19:36] <ikonia> SofS: it's nothing to do with chroot
[19:36] <men> DasEi: Thank you.
[19:36] <DasEi> DerMat: fsck finished, repairs confirmed ?
[19:36] <parto> anyone ever done an 'uptime' command that shows only the time you've been up. Not the number of users or anything else, just the days, hours and minutes you've been up.
[19:36] <aroman> hi, question. I've just entered some kind of insane dependency hell. How can I get out? http://paste.ubuntu.com/925370/
[19:37] <Nutily> parto, i did that there is 4 drivers Nvidia and 1 driver Broadcom
[19:37] <flashingpumpkin> hey guys. any quick answer on how I can add folders to the dock?
[19:37] <DerMat> DasEi: it said: recovering journal, and then: clean
[19:37] <DasEi> DerMat: so finished back to command prompt ?
[19:37] <DerMat> and now it says clean right away
[19:37] <DerMat> yes
[19:37] <Praxi> ahh geekbri https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CiscoConsole  minicom is the hyperterm of linux hehe
[19:38] <Praxi> ty for your help geekbri very much appreciated
[19:38] <DerMat> tried fsck again, and now nothing about the journal, just says clean
[19:38] <geekbri> Praxi: that also makes sense :) np.
[19:38] <geekbri> Praxi: you usually dont need to encrypt a serial connection :)
[19:38] <Nk26> Anyone know a way to pull like 100 files at a time out of directory and move them to another directory
[19:38] <DasEi> DerMat: fine, so use it again and check syslog, case problems proceed, badblocks is your friend
[19:38] <Praxi> putty just handles it all in one place is what I like.  has huge copy & paste issues on linux though hehe
[19:38] <trism> aroman: that seems fine, what did you try to install? likely something that requires the i386 libraries
[19:38] <DerMat> alright, thanks a lot
[19:39] <aroman> trism: oh crap, it might have been skype.
[19:39] <trism> aroman: yeah that would do it
[19:39] <clone1018> How do I make /home/bla/public_html accessable by the webserver only, and no other group but the owner of the home directory?
[19:39] <aroman> trism: thought I grabbed the x64 deb though. let me remove it and see what's up.
[19:39] <DasEi> JonLimitless: all fine ?
[19:39] <_raven> how to use internal MODEM for analog phone calls?
[19:40] <JonLimitless> no i can't get the firmware to install
[19:40] <ssta> parto: not that I know of, but it would be a trivial script to write.  Look in /proc/uptime.  The first number is the uptime in seconds
[19:41] <aroman> trism: yep, that was it. Thanks!

[19:45] <DasEi> fishcooker: nvidia is better supported
[19:45] <Nutily> fishcooker, cause it is laptop..
[19:45] <L3mce> fishcooker: nvidia tends to be much better on linux than ATI. Don't tell people they have bad cards

[20:00] <DasEi> Ubulindy: more precise, no login ? initramfs ?
[20:00] <darbe> trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/925411/
[20:00] <Ubulindy> DasEi, nope
[20:01] <Nutily> L3mce, so my vido card now works?
[20:01] <DasEi> Ubulindy: tried to call grub menu ?
[20:01] <Ubulindy> DasEi, I have grub which has totally chnaged, cant get passed grub
[20:01] <brontosaurusrex> delinquentme, file rename?
[20:01] <Nutily> L3mce, additional drivers show that this driver is activeted but not curently in use
[20:02] <trism> darbe: try: sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
[20:02] <trism> darbe: then see if gedit works
[20:02] <_raven> how to use internal MODEM for analog phone calls?
[20:02] <delinquentme> brontosaurusrex, I mean I need to open like 12 files and search for a complex string
[20:02] <delinquentme> and then replace that string
[20:02] <Ubulindy> DasEi, lolz, Im at my witts end, I just dont think is hdd failure
[20:02] <DasEi> JonLimitless: in poolfolder now ? filename will differ
[20:03] <darbe> trism: THANKSSSSSSSS
[20:03] <Ubulindy> Dasi, firewall took a major hit, BAM I went down
[20:03] <trism> darbe: working now?
[20:03] <darbe> trism: youARE great
[20:03] <L3mce> Nutily: apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter
[20:03] <JonLimitless> my thumbdrive isn't working i have to get another one
[20:03] <darbe> trism: tell me what you did
[20:03] <DasEi> Ubulindy: tried to call grub menu ?
[20:03] <Pl3nar1us> Is there a way to make calls with my cell phone from my laptop via bluetooth?
[20:03] <ssta> delinquentme: sed -i 's/foo/bar/' file1 file2 file3 file4 ...
[20:03] <Nutily> L3mce, did that
[20:04] <Ubulindy> DasEi, yes I have grub comes up, has totally chnaged tho
[20:04] <trism> darbe: your gsettings.compiled file was old (from march 31st) so I figured there was some error in it and we rebuilt it with that command
[20:04] <L3mce> you installed both of those?
[20:04] <Ubulindy> DasEi, can not get passed grub
[20:04] <trism> darbe: I would have thought reinstalling gedit-common would have done that, but I guess not
[20:04] <DasEi> Ubulindy: tried to boot another kernel ?
[20:04] <Nutily> L3mce, yes this comand "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer"
[20:04] <L3mce> Nutily: you can follow the guide, because it mentions natty doesn't make it natty only.
[20:04] <Ubulindy> DasEi, cant, it wont boot anything now, just get black screen with blinking cursorr
[20:05] <trism> darbe: I see a bunch over overrides there, so it may have something to do with when you added those
[20:05] <DasEi> JonLimitless: nick, please
[20:05] <darbe> trism: why reinstaaling didn't fix it?
[20:05] <Nutily> L3mce, ok so now i need restar
[20:05] <Nutily> L3mce, but how about that video card where i can test it..?
[20:05] <DasEi> Ubulindy: I gtg soon, get a live and chroot in, see whats up
[20:05] <JonLimitless> sorry dasei, i am making a new thumbdrive. sorry i am still new to irc
[20:06] <darbe> trism: can I remove extra stuff. If it is not necessary, I ma ok with them
[20:06] <trism> darbe: I don't have any idea, it should run the glib trigger when the file is copied there
[20:06] <guntbert> !tab | JonLimitless
[20:06] <trism> darbe: if it is working now you should be good
[20:06] <Ubulindy> DasEi, I tried that, it wont even run a live cd, usb, nothing
[20:06] <Nutily> L3mce, where i can find tutorial for video card..?
[20:06] <Phrogz> Looking for URLs related to developing GUI apps for Ubuntu; specifically anything at all close to Apple's HIG, and information on installing within the GUI (e.g. how to get your app categorized in the Start Menu equivalent.)
[20:06] <DasEi> JonLimitless: k, you will have to cd to it's pool folder and then look for the correct filename and give dpkg the right packagename for that command to work
[20:07] <JonLimitless> DasEi, okay thanks just give me a second.
[20:07] <DasEi> Ubulindy: sounds more than a generic hardwareproblem
[20:07] <L3mce> Nutily: I got it installed. I don't know how you would test it off our system. There may be something in desktop which mentions your restricted hardware and asks you if you want to enable it. I just try and help here while I am developing on a system that uses its own interface. I never even see the desktop.
[20:07] <darbe> trism: ok thanks again :)
[20:08] <Ubulindy> DasEi, when I put the usb in to boot up, screen comes up fine, wont do crap just sits there black screen
[20:08] <DasEi> Ubulindy: so win and ubu are two different machines ?
[20:08] <Ubulindy> yeah
[20:08] <Ubulindy> Nix box went completely down
[20:08] <DasEi> Ubulindy: prbly a hardwarefailure
[20:09] <Ubulindy> DasEi, what type? whats it sound like to you? HDD failure?
[20:09] <DasEi> Ubulindy: no, else it would boot live still, ram/chipset
[20:10] <Nutily> L3mce, but is there tutorial like you did for video card..
[20:10] <Ubulindy> DasEi, back in a bit isp is here
[20:11] <DasEi> JonLimitless: I will leave soon, give others provided link to assist you further
[20:11] <sambagirl> is that command suto nautilus ??
[20:11] <Nutily> L3mce, wifi works ty for link.. is it posable to make AdHoc..?
[20:11] <Pl3nar1us> Is there a way to make calls with my cell phone from my laptop via bluetooth?

[20:17] <Nutily> L3mce, what you think about this info..? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1739192&page=4#38
[20:17] <rfictus> malte, from Germany ??
[20:18] <L3mce> Nutily: I am sorry I am afk for a bit
[20:18] <JessicaW> LF help with mount windows share. can only write with root permission. need to enable write permissions for any user.
[20:18] <Felishia> now the funny thing is that I don't have a CD-DVD unit
[20:18] <Alus3r> rfictus:     ps
[20:18] <Felishia> drive
[20:18] <rfictus> thank you Alus3r>
[20:19] <rfictus> thank you Alus3r
[20:19] <[Corp]> hi guys, any good article/guide on how to distribute ubuntu desktop unattended using pxe?
[20:19] <Alus3r> rfictus: You can search for a certain running process by using  ps aux | grep name_to_search
[20:19] <Felishia> also this is a windows computer... and seems that everyone uses windows... so I can't even download apt-get files from these computers
[20:19] <Phrogz> OK, let's try a different track. I have some developers who will be developing using Qt for Win/OSX/Ubuntu. Forgive my noobness, but: does a Qt run "under" Gnome/Unity? (Are Gnome[23]/Unity the Finder/Explorer equivalents, or am I missing a layer?) Or does a Qt app run 'in spite' of the Gnome/Unity?
[20:20] <Phrogz> URL of "all the graphic layers and APIs of Linux for noobs" is certainly acceptable as an answer.
[20:20] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: It's possible to download the files on any OS directly from the Ubuntu website. And then just put them on a USB flash disk, and open on Ubuntu
[20:20] <Felishia> I tried downloading libavcodec53.deb
[20:20] <Felishia> and it doesn't work
[20:20] <Alus3r> What didn't work?
[20:20] <rfictus> Alus3r you mean like 'grep xchat' ??
[20:20] <Felishia> it didn't
[20:21] <Felishia> the installation of livacodec53
[20:21] <Alus3r> rfictus: correct.
[20:21] <rfictus> mm, it stalled
[20:21] <_raven> how to use internal MODEM for analog phone calls?
[20:21] <rfictus> didn't find anything
[20:21] <Pl3nar1us> Is there a way to make calls with my cell phone from my laptop via bluetooth?
[20:21] <rfictus> anyone know syntax to install Skype through terminal ??
[20:21] <Felishia> I have wine installed... couldn't I use windows media player?
[20:21] <Alus3r> rfictus: "ps aux | grep xchat"    didnt find anything?
[20:21] <mashbro> hey
[20:22] <Pl3nar1us> rfictus: sudo apt-get install skype
[20:22] <rfictus> Alus3r now it did ;)
[20:22] <SharkMuttleworth> Windows media player doesn't come with codecs either even if it would work. That's a much more complex solution
[20:22] <mashbro> i just installed lampp over ubuntu... but am not able to edit index.html there... how can i set the permissions right?
[20:22] <rfictus> Alus3r want to shutdown a PPID
[20:22] <rfictus> Alus3r i mean PID
[20:22] <Alus3r> mashbro: use the command chmod
[20:23] <rfictus> Alus3r please suggest
[20:23] <JessicaW> mashbro: or you could just sudo vi if you want to take the lazy route.
[20:23] <SharkMuttleworth> mashbro: Just use chmod/chown
[20:23] <Alus3r> rfictus:    kill -9 pid
[20:23] <Felishia> :s what should I do then?
[20:23] <rfictus> Alus3r thx!
[20:23] <JessicaW> or vim or whatever your editor is
[20:23] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: What error did you get when trying to install the .deb manually?
[20:24] <Felishia> it just doesn't do anythin
[20:24] <mashbro> JessicaW, I want to take the lazy route. So please give me what should I feed in the terminal. :)
[20:24] <Felishia> like if I had a dependence that doesn't exist
[20:25] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: It should tell you that. Do you get any messages if you try installing it via the command line? (sudo dpkg -i package.deb)
[20:25] <Felishia> I haven't tried that...
[20:25] <Felishia> but I can't now... because I'm not at home...
[20:26] <Felishia> and I need a way to play the video for today... :(
[20:26] <guntbert> !enter | Felishia
[20:26] <JessicaW> mashbro: use sudo. you really should leave the permissions set to root or for apache.
[20:26] <mashbro> JessicaW, how to do that?
[20:27] <Felishia> !enter???... what happened?
[20:27] <realus> Alus3r worked thx
[20:27] <Nutily> how create AdHoc from my ubuntu..?
[20:27] <realus> Alus3r was called rfictus
[20:27] <andrzej> siema
[20:27] <ssta> mashbro: I'd make /var/www owned by root:www-data and add myself to www-data group
[20:27] <andrzej> powiem wam ze jestem bardzo zadowolony :) z ubundy niebianska nimfa
[20:27] <andrzej> wszystkie wersje mialem
[20:28] <realus> who knows how to install skype directly from terminal ??
[20:28] <andrzej> mandaryny itp
[20:28] <andrzej> i ze wszystkimi byl problem wifi
[20:28] <andrzej> a tu odrazu:)
[20:28] <Alus3r> realus: sudo apt-get install skype
[20:28] <guntbert> Felishia: you are scrolling the channel because every sentence from you has  several lines, don't press <enter> so often
[20:28] <realus> Alus3r u again ;)
[20:28] <Pl3nar1us> realus: sudo apt-get install skype
[20:28] <Alus3r> :)
[20:28] <Pl3nar1us> Curse you stubby fingers!!!
[20:29] <Felishia> ah... ok I understand... so please... I'm desesperated, that homework is for tomorrow and I really need to watch and analyze that video...
[20:29] <alazare619> ive been attempting to get hdmi audio working with 10.04 fully updated can someone further assist me in this matter i run a mcp67 nvidia chipset
[20:29] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: Sorry, not sure what else to suggest... You could try the Windows installer of VLC with Wine I guess?
[20:29] <OerHeks> !pl | andrzej
[20:29] <andrzej> nie moge skype zainstalowac
[20:29] <Nutily> I wolud like to now how creat adhoc from ubuntu
[20:29] <andrzej> sudo apt-get install skype
[20:29] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: Can't you watch it on the uni computers? You can download standalone VLC to run from a flash drive
[20:29] <andrzej>  Nie udało się zablokować katalogu administracyjnego (/var/lib/dpkg/), czy inny proces go używa?
[20:29] <Felishia> yes I could the problem is that the video is a bit long...
[20:29] <mashbro> ssta, I am not a terminal guy, so if you could please tell me the command or point to an article it would really help.
[20:30] <JessicaW> mashbro: if you go to the directory where your index.html as type "sudo vi index.html" then you can edit the file in vi. if you're not familiar with vi, then you can do the same thing with "sudo gedit index.html"
[20:30] <realus_> Alus3r tried the skype syntax
 never worked
[20:30] <Felishia> so let me ask this question... I'm using lubuntu... I think it has a lot of bugs... may be that the cause of my problem?
[20:30] <guntbert> mashbro: JessicaW: gksudo gedit, not sudo !
[20:30] <three18ti> mashbro, use nano instead of vi.
[20:30] <Pl3nar1us> realus: have you tried finding it in symantec?
[20:30] <Alus3r> realus_: what did it say?
[20:30] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: It shouldn't make a difference. Only the desktop environment is different, all the software is identical
[20:31] <three18ti> guntbert, what's the difference.  both appear to work the same.
[20:31] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: Without wanting to be patronising, did you download the right libavcodec for your particular version of Ubuntu?
[20:31] <JessicaW> guntbert: an yeah. my bad. I never use a gui so I forget.
[20:31] <guntbert> !gksudo | three18ti
[20:31] <guntbert> JessicaW: :)
[20:31] <Felishia> ??? is there a livacodec for a particular version?
[20:31] <ssta> mashbro: sudo chown -R root:www-data /var/www; sudo adduser <your username> www-data # then logout and log back in again
[20:32] <ssta> mashbro: umm, needs a: sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www
[20:32] <_raven> how to use internal MODEM for analog phone calls?
[20:32] <JessicaW> ssta: shouldn't that be done already during the apache install?
[20:32] <three18ti> guntbert, I see, so using `sudo gedit` loads the config for root instead of the config for $USER
[20:33] <Felishia> then what should I do to download the rightest livacodec53 for my particular ubuntu version?
[20:33] <ssta> JessicaW: I thought the default was otherwise.  I might be wrong though...
[20:33] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: Do you know which version you're on? I can send you a link
[20:33] <three18ti> guntbert, so what's the difference between sudo -i and sudo su -
[20:33] <guntbert> three18ti: the problem is the ownership for some X-related files
[20:33] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: You can get packages from http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/libavcodec53 but the interface is a bit confusing
[20:33] <JessicaW> looking for help with mounting windows share with permissions for anyone to R/W
[20:33] <Nutily> where can i find AdHOC tutorial..?
[20:33] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: There are links on the upper right to switch between different Ubuntu versions, such as oneiric, precise etc.
[20:34] <Felishia> SharkMuttleworth: 11.04 it was the lasted released... I think so
[20:34] <ssta> JessicaW:  add uid=<your uid> to teh smbmount options?
[20:34] <_raven> how to use internal MODEM for analog phone calls?
[20:34] <guntbert> three18ti: in this case I only *know* that the former is recommended - but it is an evironment problem again
[20:35] <Bennlucky7> _raven: skype but u must pay
[20:35] <_raven> Bennlucky7 with an analog modem
[20:35] <delinquentme> is it possible to search for the contents of a file as an input for a sed replacement?
[20:36] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: Do you know if your computer is running 32 or 64 bit? There are different packages for each
[20:36] <Felishia> 32
[20:36] <mashbro> JessicaW, ssta : do you mind a PM?
[20:36] <three18ti> guntbert, right!?! lol.  that's the usual answer I get.  I know sudo -i is "better" but never been able to understand why.  sudo -s actually writes to the .bash_history of the $USER that invokes it.
[20:37] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: You could try http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/liba/libav/libavcodec53_0.7.3-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>_i386.deb
[20:38] <drecute> JessicaW: the smf.conf file contains an example for exactly what you need
[20:38] <guntbert> three18ti: you asked about sudo su - , I only don't *know* because I didn't investigate myself
[20:38] <subdesign> hey, if you want nice abstract wallpapers check : http://devartpro.com/en/downloads
[20:38] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: You're right, it lists a few dependencies on the page http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/libavcodec53 so it might complain without them.  Help, anyone?
[20:39] <Felishia> SharkMuttleworth... yes... you're right... but I think I have all those dependencies, last time I checked... my problem was that no install button appeared
[20:40] <JessicaW> ssta: if I use uid, only that user will be able to r/w. I went with gid so group could r/w
[20:40] <parto> help
[20:40] <JessicaW> drecute: smb.conf?
[20:40] <Felishia> so I wonder is there a rar zip tar file with many but Many deb files so I just have to search in that
[20:41] <OerHeks> Felishia, don't look for rar, it is not opensource.
[20:41] <three18ti> guntbert, indeed I did.  and I usually get the answer "sudo -i is better because it is", it's one of those things that we just accept; I've never found a definitive answer as to "why" it is better.  As an aside, I mentioned sudo -s.
[20:42] <JessicaW> drecute: looked through smb.conf. there's nothing there specific to mounting a windows share on a linux box with r/w permissions.
[20:42] <Felishia> OerHeks I just need all the basics deb files so that if I have any dependece I could look into that
[20:42] <drecute> JessicaW: i guess you aint using samba?
[20:43] <SharkMuttleworth> Felishia: There probably is some clever way to download a lot of deb's at once for offline usage. The problem is there are so many, it would be massive unless you filter it to a specific selection
[20:43] <_raven> Bennlucky7 with an analog modem
[20:43] <_raven> how to use internal MODEM for analog phone calls?
[20:43] <JessicaW> drecute: can use smbfs or cifs.
[20:43] <JessicaW> drecute: I'm not picky. both work. currently mounting like this. mount -t smbfs //WINSVR/Public /xdrive -o pass=abc123,user=user,dir_mode=0775,gid=1009
[20:43] <drecute> see http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html#id2552898
[20:44] <Felishia> SharkMuttleworth multimedia and 3D
[20:44] <guntbert> three18ti: as for -i vs -s see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[20:44] <brianp1992> can anyone help me with flash problems?
[20:44] <JessicaW> and even though I mount with 775 only root can r/w.
[20:44] <JessicaW> everyone else is read only.
[20:45] <drecute> cool
[20:46] <three18ti> guntbert, thanks.   Pretty sure it's something on the linux side preventing it from being able to write.
[20:47] <ssta> JessicaW: did you try the noperm option? (disables clientside permissions checking)
[20:48] <brianp1992> ssta, can you help me with flash?
[20:48] <JessicaW> ssta: oooo. didn't think of that. let me try it.
[20:48] <DeWitt> hi
[20:49] <DeWitt> need some help;) ubuntu overwrote my main partition with 1,5 TB of datas, any ideas to recover it?
[20:49] <OerHeks> brianp1992, just ask the question, maybe someone knows the answer
[20:49] <ssta> brianp1992: doubtful. What I know about flash can be written on the head of a pin with a 3" paintbrush.  Sorry
[20:49] <JessicaW> ssta: did you get that from here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[20:49] <ssta> JessicaW: no, from the manpage
[20:50] <JessicaW> ssta: well I feel like a nub... :D
[20:51] <ssta> JessicaW: nah...trying to find the right combinations of magic to get cifs working properly is a black art.  You have to have the right *colour* goat...
[20:51] <diminoten> hey is it possible for my g++ install to bork itself through normal use?
[20:51] <ssta> JessicaW: did it work?
[20:51] <brianp1992> well my flash dossent seem to work with what im trying to do
[20:51] <DeWitt> need some help;) ubuntu overwrote my main partition with 1,5 TB of datas, any ideas to recover it? please whisper me for help
[20:51] <Felishia> Terabytes?
[20:51] <JessicaW> ssta: hah. IKR? it's been driving me crazy.
[20:51] <JessicaW> ssta: meh. I think this only works for other linux boxes.
[20:52] <three18ti> ssta, heard that.  cifs is an awesome PITA.  Life saer for sure (I admin a bunch of windows systems from a Linux machine).
[20:52] <tiim> diminoten: what's gone wrong?
[20:53] <diminoten> just a compile error that when I google about, the general consensus is that the g++ install for those people is broken
[20:54] <brianp1992> is there a browser that is good with flash
[20:54] <ratcheer> brianp1992: Chrome
[20:55] <brianp1992> i have chromium-browser installed
[20:55] <SharkMuttleworth> brianp1992: How do you mean "good"? The browser should be irrelevant if flash is installed correctly. It's a separate bit of software
[20:55] <JessicaW> ssta: BAM. I love you for pointing out the obvious. if it had been a snake it would have bit me. it worked. thanks.
[20:55] <ssta> JessicaW: glad you got it going :)
[20:56] <brianp1992> well when in chromium i go to pinger.com/textfree  to send txts and the flash wont load
[20:56] <JessicaW> ssta: what an evil evil thing.... now I get to integrate active directory logins.... looking forward to it... :|
[20:57] <ssta> JessicaW: ugh.  I don't envy you.  I tried that once, got it "kinda" working, but wound up throwing it away in disgust and redesigning instead
[20:58] <SharkMuttleworth> brianp1992: Flash normally works?
[20:59] <brianp1992> SharkMuttleworth: no but i think it needs to be adobe
[20:59] <ktosiek> is it normal for system to get really unresponsible while installing updates (or on any big disk I/O)?
[20:59] <ktosiek> I'm using an Atom netbook
[20:59] <SharkMuttleworth> brianp1992: Do you even have flash installed?
[20:59] <ssta> ktosiek: yes.
[21:00] <ktosiek> s/unresponsible/unresponsive/
[21:00] <brianp1992> SharkMuttleworth: yeah and i looked into the plugins, its installed and enabled
[21:00] <ktosiek> ssta: any way around it? And why is it doing this to me? :-C
[21:00] <Boohbah> ktosiek: buy a faster processor
[21:00] <ktosiek> Boohbah: it's not even close to maxed out
[21:01] <ssta> ktosiek: those atoms have slow everything (CPU, bus, IO...)
[21:01] <ktosiek> I have load >3 and idle CPUs :-/
[21:01] <Boohbah> ktosiek: buy a faster disk
[21:02] <ktosiek> Boohbah: you would sound smarter with "buy a better mainboard"
[21:02] <Replicant> hi
[21:02] <ha1dfo> hi. does ubuntu / linux in general have any builtin hooks for useradd / userdel? I'd like to run some scripts when users are added
[21:02] <fishcooker> ktosiek
[21:02] <guler> dear all, having trouble with grub ............ :(
[21:02] <fishcooker> which kind of atom do you have
[21:02] <ssta> ktosiek: load is a measure of how many process are on average either "runnable" or uninterruptable.  They're almost certainly waiting for disk
[21:02] <fishcooker> ?what happen ther guler
[21:02] <ktosiek> fishcooker: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N550   @ 1.50GHz
[21:02] <guler> When I start, I go to grub rescue :(
[21:03] <ktosiek> that's what /proc/cpuinfo said
[21:03] <Replicant> after modifying and compiling a kernel module, how can I reload it? Is it enough to replace the *.ko file?
[21:03] <ssta> ktosiek: in this case, I'd say either your bus is overloaded or your disk is...  Be careful of relying on load averages as being meaningful of anything much.  There's a bazillion factors that can effect it
[21:04] <barbori4_> i have a question if someone hacks into your ssh connection can you tap into their connection to see what they are doing?
[21:05] <guler> I have a primary install on /dev/sda8  which had problem, so I made a second install on /dev/sda6 but seems like the grub.cfg from /dev/sda6 is not loaded ...
[21:05] <Replicant> with a modified sshd... :P
[21:05] <Nutily> how i can get to downloads directory in terminal..?
[21:05] <Alus3r> ping guler
[21:05] <barbori4_> what you mean Replicant you have a site or something?
[21:05] <guler> yep
[21:05] <ktosiek> ssta: thanks, and is there any way around it? I can take some performance hit if it makes responsiveness better
[21:05] <jn__> what is the gnome terminal called gterm ?
[21:06] <delinquentme> Is there no standard bundled tool in ubuntu for a multi-line search and replace?
[21:06] <delinquentme> to me thats silly
[21:06] <Alus3r> haha sorry, my pinging wasnt working for a channel to I tried pinging you to make sure and missed the / key
[21:06] <bekks> delinquentme: "sed"
[21:06] <delinquentme> bekks, thats single line
[21:06] <ktosiek> (sounds like scheduler tweaks?)
[21:06] <bekks> delinquentme: No.
[21:06] <delinquentme> like its bordering on inbelieveable
[21:06] <ssta> ktosiek: not really, no.  If it were eating cpu you could make it nicer, but it's eating disk...there's nothing you can easily do about it sadly
[21:06] <Replicant> well I'd say you can always (as root) tail -f bash history file, barbori4_
[21:06] <delinquentme> no?
[21:06] <bekks> No.
[21:06] <delinquentme> bc thats what #sed .. said
[21:06] <Replicant> though never tried it
[21:07] <Nutily> how go to download directory in terminal..?
[21:07] <delinquentme> bekks, basically I'd like to use pipes to feed in a massive string which needs replaces in multiple files
[21:07] <dwarder> hello guys, i need hdd loaded linux with kiosk mode google chrome, what articles should i read?
[21:07] <barbori4_> thanks i will look into it
[21:07] <Alus3r> clear
[21:07] <bekks> delinquentme: http://austinmatzko.com/2008/04/26/sed-multi-line-search-and-replace/
[21:07] <usr13> delinquentme: sed - stream editor for filtering and transforming text
[21:08] <delinquentme> ahh ok so he just bruteforce pasted that stuff....
[21:08] <Replicant> yep that should work, as root "tail -f .bash_history" of the logged in account
[21:08] <Felishia> is there a way to get gcc without trouble?
[21:08] <ktosiek> Felishia: apt-get install build-essentials
[21:08] <Replicant> but then you rely on having a ssh session use bash as default
[21:08] <Felishia> LOL... I don't have internet
[21:09] <Alus3r>
[21:09] <Firebolt> Felishia, and you're here how?
[21:09] <Replicant> yes you do Felishia
[21:09] <Felishia> not at home
[21:09] <Felishia> this is not my computer
[21:09] <Replicant> that explains somethings...
[21:09] <AnishS> can someone help me regarding Ubuntu  12.04
[21:09] <Felishia> I tried downloading debian packages but they do not seem to work
[21:09] <OerHeks> !offline | Felishia
[21:09] <ssta> Replicant: .bash_history doesn't get written after every command...
[21:10] <ktosiek> OerHeks: I sooo love you right now
[21:10] <Replicant> I thought so ssta
[21:10] <Felishia> OerHeks... the packages do not work... that's the problem
[21:10] <Replicant> :S
[21:10] <ktosiek> it would save me from rounds of dpkg -i a few times...
[21:10] <Nutily> anyone could say how to change dir in terminal
[21:10] <AnishS> can someone help me regarding Ubuntu 12.04? I would like to know if you are able to change the boot order in grub.
[21:10] <ktosiek> Felishia: "do not work" how?
[21:11] <Felishia> they always say error... in gcc it says that it is a cache problem
[21:11] <Felishia> and it makes me unistall it
[21:11] <Replicant> but anyway, the user logged in ssh could echo "" > .bash_history or history-c
[21:11] <Replicant> so not a good method
[21:11] <synrusi> Hi all. Please help me. I have an hdd drive which one was working in Fedora 14 without any problems. But now when I plug it in Ubuntu 12.04 does'n see it at all. I have looked at the hdd through gparted and it says that there are lvm2. What does it mean? And how can I mount this hdd?
[21:11] <ssta> Replicant: .bash_history is only usually written when the shell exits
[21:11] <Replicant> maybe sshd has some option of logging user activity?
[21:12] <synrusi> dpesn't*
[21:12] <synrusi> doesn't*
[21:12] <ktosiek> synrusi: it means there are lvm2 "virtual drives" with actual filesystems in them
[21:12] <AnishS> is anyone available for help? that is not busy
[21:12] <synrusi> how do I can mount it?
[21:13] <synrusi> I have no experience with lvm2(((
[21:13] <brianp1992> alright guys, thanks alot for the help :(
[21:14] <Felishia> bye ty!!
[21:14] <AnishS> can someone help me regarding Ubuntu 12.04? I  would like to know if you are able to change the boot order in grub.
[21:14] <bluj> i am running ubuntu 10.04 on a brand new laptop, and theres a whole bunch of bugs i have that a new kernel apparently fixes. is there a clean way to install a newer kernel, dependency wise? will apt-get install'ing a later kernel break anything?
[21:14] <gnychis> does anyone have a clean install of 12.04 Beta 2 running in vmware? I keep getting stuck at a screen saying it's installing vmware tools and it hangs
[21:14] <ktosiek> synrusi: start with "sudo lvm vgscan"
[21:15] <ktosiek> it should tell you names of available volume groups
[21:15] <ktosiek> then look for them in /dev/${name_of_volume_group}
[21:15] <bekks> vgdisplay -C
[21:15] <bekks> and lvdisplay -C
[21:16] <ktosiek> bekks: will that force scanning for VGs?
[21:16] <AnishS> can someone PLEASE help me regarding Ubuntu 12.04? I would like to know if you are able to change the boot order in grub. :(
[21:16] <ktosiek> or is it only for displaying?
[21:16] <bekks> ktosiek: It is only for displaying, vgscan should do the job.
[21:16] <ssta> AnishS: I imagine you can.  12.04 support in #ubuntu+1 generally
[21:17] <AnishS> oh sorry
[21:17] <ssta> no worries
[21:18] <OerHeks> AnishS, it should be possible, http://seyekuyinu.com/changing-grub-boot-order-in-ubuntu-11-04/
[21:19] <Umeaboy> Hi!
[21:19] <OerHeks> AnishS, grub2 isn't changed, so this tutorial is still usefull
[21:20] <Umeaboy> I just installed 11.10 in my desktop-PC & I accidentily removed Swedish as system-language, but I want it back. What do I do?
[21:20] <kontagious> hello everyone! when will 10.04 be released?
[21:20] <Umeaboy> language-pack-sv is installed.
[21:20] <ktosiek> kontagious: 10.04?
[21:20] <AnishS> oh thanks
[21:20] <Xabster> kontagious, 12.04 you mean?
[21:20] <riktking> hi i have installed fluxbox now cannot get back to the login screen can anyone help?
[21:20] <kontagious> yes :)
[21:20] <ssta> kontagious: 10.04 was released 2 years ago.  12.04 probably at the end of the month
[21:20] <Xabster> 26 april is the date i guess
[21:20] <kontagious> lol thanks guys
[21:20] <Umeaboy> I need help.
[21:20] <Umeaboy> Please.
[21:21] <ktosiek> riktking: the brutal way: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[21:21] <riktking> ok
[21:21] <ktosiek> or Alt-SysRq-k
[21:21] <synrusi> ktosiek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/925509/
[21:21] <kontagious> thanks ktosiek Xabster and ssta :D
[21:21] <ktosiek> (SysRq == printscreen)
[21:21] <AnishS> Thank you OerHeks... i was in the other room so i did not see your wonderful post
[21:22] <riktking> ktosiek, it boots straight into it
[21:22] <ktosiek> synrusi: sudo lvdisplay -C
[21:22] <riktking> thereisno log out option in the menu
[21:22] <ktosiek> riktking: after Alt-SysRq-k ?
[21:23] <riktking> it worked!
[21:23] <riktking> im back to unity
[21:24] <riktking> alt+prtsc+k
[21:24] <ktosiek> synrusi: you can look in /dev/VolGroup and try to mount things from there
[21:24] <synrusi> ktosiek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/925517/
[21:24] <rfictus> hey all, this code not working 'sudo apt-get install skype'
[21:25] <rfictus> E: Unable to locate package skype
[21:25] <rfictus> why ???
[21:25] <FerkSwe> It's not in the repos
[21:25] <FerkSwe> Go to skype's website and download it from there
[21:25] <rfictus> I want to add it to the repos
[21:25] <ktosiek> rfictus: then search for PPA with it
[21:26] <ssta> it's in the partner repo IIRC
 plz explain
[21:26] <Compt> It's in the software center
[21:26] <rfictus> i iz newbie
[21:26] <ktosiek> rfictus: PPAs are repos made by users and hosted at launchpad
[21:26] <ssta> it's in the partner repo
[21:26] <ktosiek> but if ssta is right you just have to enable partner repo
[21:26] <rfictus> @Compt not the software center dude ;)
[21:27] <synrusi> ktosiek: Im sorry, but i don't know how to mount lvm. Can I use moun /dev/sdx?
 got a syntacx there bud ?
[21:27] <Compt> What version of Ubuntu are you running??? It's in there for me and was there by default
[21:27] <AnishS> is 12.04 worth getting? i have 3 minutes left until download complete and i just wanted to make sure (no one is answering in the 12.04 chatroom)
[21:27] <Compt> For both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions
[21:27] <rfictus> Compt: 11.10
[21:28] <Compt> I'm running 11.10 as well.
[21:28] <ktosiek> synrusi: sudo mkdir /mnt/odlhome && sudo mount /dev/VolGroup/lv_home /mnt/oldhome
[21:28] <synrusi> ls: cannot access /dev/VolGroup: No such file or directory
 you found Skype in software center ??
[21:28] <ssta> it's in the partner repo
[21:28] <ktosiek> synrusi: ouch
 oh wait, i found it there too
[21:28] <Compt> That is correct, I even looked it up when you were wondering what the command was to install skype through the terminal
[21:29] <Compt> Ah lol kk
 but I want to know the syntax to install it from terminal
[21:29] <synrusi> (((
[21:29] <sofand> hola
[21:29] <ktosiek> synrusi: oh, I forgot
[21:29] <Compt> sudo apt-get install skype:i386
[21:29] <rfictus> install skype direct from terminal, anyone know ??
[21:29] <ktosiek> lvm vgchange -a y
[21:30] <barbori4_> nice he actually didn't break in he was trying to brute force my login
[21:30] <AnishS> this is completely random. but when you right click on someone in the opera chat and click Who IS.  Kinda weird
[21:31] <synrusi> ktosiek: I did. But same issue.
[21:31] <DerMat> why you find that weird AnishS?
[21:31] <ktosiek> ls /dev/mapper/
[21:31] <synrusi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/925523/
[21:32] <DerMat> thats irc protocol mr. sasmal
[21:32] <ktosiek> huh
[21:32] <synrusi> it says: control  cryptswap1
[21:32] <AnishS> dunno tells the Full Name. What rooms they are in. What server they are using, when they signed in and if they are idle
[21:32] <DerMat> yeah
[21:32] <ktosiek> synrusi: maybe you need "sudo pvscan"
[21:33] <DerMat> you dont really need to provide the full name in the first place tho
[21:33] <AnishS> ok whatever
[21:33] <DerMat> and the server stuff .. well, you cant hide that
[21:33] <synrusi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/925525/
[21:34] <DerMat> i dont know the opera client, but i'm sure you can remove your last name somewhere in the options
[21:34] <DerMat> but youll have to enter something
[21:35] <ktosiek> synrusi: and still can't be mounted?
[21:35] <AnishS> You probably can but being a teen. i am a lazy piece of $h!t
[21:35] <ktosiek> synrusi: it looks to me like you are missing one partition that was part of the VolGroup
[21:36] <ktosiek> and I don't know if that's recoverable... you'll have to find somebody with good understanding of LVM
[21:36] <synrusi> Thank you very much!
[21:36] <synrusi> I got success now
[21:36] <DerMat> AnishS: you just have to decide if you want everything you say here being connected to your full name
[21:36] <ktosiek> synrusi: what you did? :-)
[21:37] <ktosiek> synrusi: gratz :-)
[21:37] <synrusi> Just typed what you said
[21:37] <AnishS> ok now i know.
[21:37] <synrusi> sudo mkdir /mnt/odlhome && sudo mount /dev/VolGroup/lv_home /mnt/oldhome -- this one
[21:37] <ktosiek> ok :-)
[21:37] <AnishS> another thing... what is this flood bot do
[21:37] <dariebi_> Hi all, a short question, which software is good for programming in C? i need editor and compiler or something, i will starting learning c
[21:38] <Rud> vi + gcc
[21:38] <ktosiek> BTW anybody knows why Ubuntu is not automounting external LVM partitions?
[21:38] <dariebi_> Rud: thx
[21:38] <totesmuhgoats> dariebi_: code blocks will give you everything you need in one place
[21:38] <ktosiek> Rud: oh you, Vi is barely usable
[21:38] <DerMat> AnishS: they kick flooding people i suppose
[21:38] <ktosiek> dariebi_: he's joking, use Vim
[21:38] <synrusi> ktosiek: what's strange, I see files in the terminal, but can't in the file-manager
[21:39] <AnishS> but what does 'Flooding mean' like if people D-Dos a site
[21:39] <dariebi_> ok :-) thank you all
[21:39] <totesmuhgoats> dariebi_: vim is sometimes difficult for new users to adjust to. you may want to consider using something more user friendly so that you're not learning 2 things at once
[21:39] <totesmuhgoats> any text editor will do
[21:40] <ktosiek> AnishS: sending a lot of messages one by one, especially repeating a message lots of times
[21:40] <Rud> dariebi_: depends a bit on what you expect. the range is something between editor + compiler and everything + kitchen sink
[21:40] <totesmuhgoats> if you are interested in learning to use vim install the vim package and run vimtutor at the command line
[21:40] <ktosiek> dariebi_: for a newbe I would recommend some IDE, like Eclipse with C/C++ plugins
[21:40] <AnishS> ok thank you ktosiek for answering my useless questions  :D
[21:41] <totesmuhgoats> i second what ktosiek said
[21:41] <barbori4_> does anyone know of a firewall that automatically blocks bruteforce login attemps
[21:41] <ktosiek> AnishS: no problem, I'm not good with the hard ones :-D
[21:41] <dariebi_> ok, thank you guys i will google a little bit and i will test something
[21:41] <totesmuhgoats> code blocks is popular with folks at school for some reason
[21:41] <barbori4_> adds like the ip to a block list?
[21:41] <totesmuhgoats> firewall blocking login attempts?
[21:41] <synrusi> ktosiek: Im sorry, but do you have any idea why file-manager doesn't show files but ls does?
[21:41] <ktosiek> but Code::Blocks... I have only bad things to say about it
[21:41] <Rud> totesmuhgoats: indeed. that shows even on google trends.
[21:42] <barbori4_> yeah i found people on my network are trying to brute force my ubuntu pc
[21:42] <ktosiek> synrusi: no clue, I barely ever use a GUI file manger
[21:42] <totesmuhgoats> ah, then disregard code::blocks
[21:42] <realus> my xchat freezes frequently
[21:42] <barbori4_> and i want it to automatically place ip blocked
[21:42] <realus> any idea??
[21:42] <AnishS> i am burning the Ubuntu DVD... what speed should i do the burning in
[21:42] <totesmuhgoats> i don't use an ide myself, and i am quite a c noob
[21:42] <ktosiek> barbori4_: if you suspect viruses just change SSH port
[21:42] <totesmuhgoats> I just prefer to use a compiler and an editor
[21:42] <barbori4_> ah okay
[21:43] <barbori4_> ktosiek
[21:43] <totesmuhgoats> dariebi_: have you found yourself a resource for learning? most introduction books tell you about the resources needed to get started
[21:43] <totesmuhgoats> they might even have a recommendation
[21:43] <rogst> barbori4_: you should install an Intrusion detection system.. e.g. Denyhosts
[21:43] <totesmuhgoats> if so it might be best to stick with that so if the book tells you to do something you can follow it directly
[21:43] <Rud> ktosiek: eclipse is a java development and application framework by nature. the fact that it happens to handle C is rather an accident ;-}
[21:43] <popo87> s
[21:43] <AnishS> i am burning the Ubuntu DVD... what speed should i do the burning in
[21:43] <ssta> it's not even all that good at java
[21:44] <ktosiek> Rud: it works for me (on PCs with >=3GB of RAM)
[21:44] <realus> does anyone elses xchat freeze randomly ??
[21:44] <totesmuhgoats> AnishS: any speed should be fine, but some people like to go with the slowest speed for their media. most burning software will throttle to that automatically if you select something like 1x
[21:44] <totesmuhgoats> as many discs can't do 1x
[21:44] <ktosiek> if you know about any good OSS IDE I'll be happy to hear about it :-)
[21:44] <dariebi_> totesmuhgoats: yes i will get a c book in a few days
[21:45] <popo87> how do i use ppa-purge with this ppa? deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/videolan/master-daily/ubuntu oneiric main
[21:45] <AnishS> ok will try 6x
[21:45] <synrusi> well
[21:45] <synrusi> I was wrong. It didn't mount
[21:45] <totesmuhgoats> dariebi_: here on freenode you might want to get recommendations in ##c-basic. the main c channel can be a little overwhelming for us new folks
[21:45] <Rud> ktosiek: there aren't any good IDEs. OSS or not... only bad and really bad ones...
[21:45] <synrusi> I don't see VolGroup in /dev/
[21:45] <hwilde> anybody here networking genius?
[21:46] <ktosiek> Rud: I guess your Vim is pretty pimped up then? :-P
[21:46] <dariebi_> oh cool, thx
[21:46] <usr13> hwilde: What do you need?
[21:46] <totesmuhgoats> hwilde: ask your question and if someone can answer they will, you can also try ##networking
[21:46] <ssta> emacs works too (as well as vim does anyway)
[21:46] <CampinSam> Uh.. if I get an error, while making a file, how can I clean that up, so that I can make it again, with a different setting? would that even be needed?
[21:46] <Rud> ktosiek: not really. wc -l ~/.vimrc yields 162
[21:46] <totesmuhgoats> i was really thinking more along the lines of gedit when i told him any editor will do
[21:46] <hwilde> usr13, totesmuhgoats,  how can I see... why my sockets are failing?
[21:47]  * ktosiek doesn't like Vims bad extensibility and Emacses lack of "." command from vim
[21:47] <totesmuhgoats> or kate or something
[21:47] <totesmuhgoats> Kraln: what does "." do in vim?
[21:47] <CampinSam> make as in, building from source, just too clarify.
[21:47] <totesmuhgoats> er ktosiek that is
[21:47] <usr13> hwilde: How do you know your sockets are failing?
[21:47] <AnishS> if you cant see ;)
[21:47] <totesmuhgoats> you know i have been idling in this channel for months
[21:47] <totesmuhgoats> i don't think i've ever participated this much
[21:48] <Rud> totesmuhgoats: repeat the most recent command
[21:48] <ktosiek> totesmuhgoats: repeats last command, but in Vim that command often is something like "replace 5 words with this text" or "add that at the end of the line"
[21:48] <totesmuhgoats> ah, gotcha
[21:48] <hwilde> usr13, I am getting a socket exception in my code, then I see in netstat the socket goes to FIN_WAIT1 and SYN_SENT state, and the ping dies.  then if I ifconfig eth1 down && ifconfig eth1 up   the ping comes back, the socket reconnects, and in netstat it says established again
[21:48] <ktosiek> Emacs commands are mostly simpler, so just making "do that last thing" for Emacs won't work
[21:49] <hwilde> usr13, so it's like I am crashing the entire tcp stack somehow and even my ping dies.
[21:49] <popo87> how do i use ppa-purge with this ppa? deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/videolan/master-daily/ubuntu oneiric main
[21:50] <usr13> hwilde: What service?
[21:50] <hwilde> usr13, it is a program that I wrote
[21:50] <usr13> hwilde: I dono
[21:50] <hwilde> why are you wasting my time if you're not a networking genius man
[21:50] <hwilde> anybody here networking genius?
[21:51] <usr13> hwilde: I don't think you'll get any help with an attitude like that.
[21:51] <Rud> totesmuhgoats: the main problem with vim is that you won't see any value in using it unless you are forced to use it three months in a row.
[21:52] <Rud> totesmuhgoats: you'll change your mind towards the end of that period, though...
[21:52] <Tray> Hi there, i've a problem using my Toshiba NB200 with a fresh ubuntu install. I recognized that ubuntu stops working when idling for too long. I tried a small ruby script wich just loops an output and it never works for more than a minute. Any help?
[21:52] <Tray> Using 11.10
[21:54] <hplc> whats needed to use a machine as a syslog server on LAN?
[21:55] <bredbaker> hey
[21:56] <bredbaker> I have question
[21:56] <totesmuhgoats> Rud: i see value in using it, even though i'm not very experienced with it. overall it takes me longer to do things in vim
[21:56] <totesmuhgoats> but when i am using another editor it becomes apparently annoying that i can't select multiple lines and comment them, or move 4 words forward or back
[21:57] <ssta> for either vim or emacs...it's well worth taking the time to learn.  You'll be slower at first, but as you get used to it you'll be MUCH faster...
[21:59] <bredbaker> <-- has question
[21:59] <bredbaker> <-- does not get help
[22:00] <ssta> bredbaker: you haven't asked a question
[22:00] <bredbaker> oh have i to ask a question???
[22:00] <ssta> it's generally easier to answer a question after you ask it, yes
[22:00] <bredbaker> ah okay
[22:00] <Logan_> We don't have telepathic powers.
[22:00] <bredbaker> then i will ask my question for now
[22:00] <bredbaker> Shpul
[22:01] <bredbaker> Should i say something about me before or should i start asking?
[22:01] <chihiro> no
[22:01] <chihiro> Just ask
[22:01] <bredbaker> Okay
[22:01] <bredbaker> hehe
[22:01] <bredbaker> i wanted to set up ubuntu on my new pc
[22:01] <bredbaker> but not sure if BRTFS or ext 4
[22:02] <bredbaker> hehe
[22:02] <chihiro> just ask your question already..
[22:04] <bredbaker> but not sure if BRTFS or ext 4
[22:04] <bredbaker> hehe
[22:04] <bredbaker> lol
[22:04] <ssta> ext4
[22:05] <bredbaker> ^^
[22:05] <bredbaker> ok
[22:05] <bredbaker> ^^
[22:05] <FloodBot1> bredbaker: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:05] <bredbaker> you are a bot. do you really think you can tell ME something?!
[22:05] <bredbaker> ^^
[22:05] <ktosiek> is btrfs still slow with dpkg?
[22:05] <T_om> anyone know why my Ubuntu would be resolving random domain names to localhost/<IP_ADDRESS> ? these are general sites i visit often, on other connections they are resolving correctly to wheerever they are hosted.
[22:06] <bredbaker> ktosiek: i asked this before they told me btrfs is shit

[22:12] <ktosiek> scott_z: all user-level configuration should be in your $HOME, what do you need from /opt?
[22:13] <scott_z> ktosiek: anything that might have been saved elsewhere by other programs
[22:13] <realus> pplz, when i press a key, my mouse will free for a split second before moving again, any idea why?

[22:14] <Tray> Hi there, i've a problem using my Toshiba NB200 with a fresh ubuntu 11.10 install (only some removing and installing of software). I recognized that ubuntu stops working when idling for too long. I tried a small ruby script wich just loops an output and it never works for more than a minute. I appreciate any help or hints.
[22:14] <Myrtti> hackeron: wait a few weeks and upgrade directly to Precise?
[22:14] <hackeron> Myrtti: why doesn't do-release-upgrade -d work?
[22:15] <treesome> anybody living in L.A. ?
[22:15] <ktosiek> Myrtti: upgrading by more than one release at a time is not supported :-P
[22:15] <ikonia> treesome: why ?
[22:15] <Myrtti> ktosiek: but 10.4 is LTS and so is 12.04, and upgrade from LTS to LTS is supported
[22:15] <treesome> have you ever been to venice beach?
[22:15] <bredbaker> 10.10 life cycle end??? do you want to fuck off me?
[22:15] <ikonia> treesome: why ? what has this got to do with ubuntu ?
[22:15] <Myrtti> bredbaker: mind your language, and be civil
[22:15] <ktosiek> Myrtti: oh, I forgot about precise being LTS
[22:15] <bredbaker> ok
[22:16] <treesome> nothing but nobody seems to be able to help me with my problem ;-)
[22:16] <scott_z> bredbaker: come on watch the language
[22:16] <itaylor57> Myrtti, 12.04 is not LTS yet it is still beta
[22:16] <ikonia> treesome: ok, so please keep the channel conversation to ubuntu support please.
[22:16] <Myrtti> jtrucks: which is why I suggested hackeron to wait a few weeks
[22:16] <ktosiek> bredbaker: it was not an LTS release, so I don't know what you are whining about
[22:16] <treesome> for sure
[22:17] <Myrtti> itaylor57: ^
[22:17] <BlouBlou> itaylor57: it's LTS and it's in beta
[22:17] <Myrtti> I need to wash my glasses
[22:17] <bredbaker> ktosiek because all others uses unity
[22:17] <treesome> so can anybody tell me what to do if my windows cd says it will boot but it doesnt?
[22:17] <ktosiek> bredbaker: um
[22:17] <ktosiek> bredbaker: you know you don't have to use Unity?
[22:17] <ultrixx> bredbaker: try kde
[22:17] <bredbaker> kde is too slow
[22:17] <treesome> sure but gnome shell sucks
[22:17] <ktosiek> bredbaker: I'm on precise and happy with my i3wm setup
[22:17] <ssta> treesome: ask in a windows channel maybe?
[22:17] <ikonia> treesome: ask the guys in ##windows
[22:18] <itaylor57> Myrtti, BlouBlou but you can't upgrade lucid yo precise until precise is formally released
[22:18] <ktosiek> bredbaker: what do you use? GNOME2?
[22:18] <bredbaker> Gnome 2 i want
[22:18] <hackeron> Myrtti: how do I upgrade from Lucid to Precise without waiting a few weeks
[22:18] <treesome> not a good idea, i thought the problem might be grub related ..........
[22:18] <Myrtti> itaylor57: and that is why I suggested hackeron should wait a few weeks.
[22:18] <itaylor57> hackeron, you can't
[22:18] <ktosiek> bredbaker: it's dead, its own fathers killed it
[22:18] <ikonia> treesome: grub doesn't boot your windows CD
[22:18] <treesome> yeah and thats exactly my problem
[22:18] <bredbaker> ktosiek oh no do not understand
[22:18] <itaylor57> Myrtti, sorry
[22:19] <treesome> do you know how to uninstall grub?
[22:19] <scott_z> ktosiek: in the /opt i found all my full circle mags that I downloaded
[22:19] <bredbaker> ktosiek: canonical i can not understand
[22:19] <ikonia> treesome: you don't uninstall it
[22:19] <cobra> Hi all
[22:19] <ikonia> treesome: you need to overwrite it, eg: with the windows boot loader
[22:19] <scott_z> ktosiek: I dont want to miss anything
[22:19] <bredbaker> ktosiek: canonical i do not understand
[22:19] <ktosiek> scott_z: so copy everything :-P
[22:19] <ktosiek> scott_z: it should compress nicely
[22:19] <scott_z> ktosiek: hehehe if I had the room I would
[22:19] <treesome> ^^ ok thats kinda difficult
[22:20] <ktosiek> but it's really strange that there's something like that in /opt
[22:20] <bredbaker> why canonical stopped gnome 2 developement
[22:20] <ikonia> bredbaker: canonical didn't
[22:20] <bredbaker> ikonia? nooo?
[22:20] <ikonia> bredbaker: canonical don't develop gnome, the gnome foundation does
[22:20] <ktosiek> bredbaker: it's not Canonicals project
[22:20] <scott_z> ktosiek: I have ALOT of .avi files and they just dont compress
[22:20] <ultrixx> bredbaker: the gnome team stopped gnome 2
[22:20] <bredbaker> i thought gnome belongs to CANONICAL
[22:20] <ikonia> bredbaker: ask the gnome foundation
[22:20] <bredbaker> Because ubuntu always was released if there were new gnome version
[22:21] <ikonia> hi Lars
[22:21] <ktosiek> bredbaker: no, it isn't, and Canonical is not even using GNOME as main desktop anymore so they have no money in that project
[22:21] <scientes> bredbaker, hahaha, GNOME foundation
[22:21] <bredbaker> Because ubuntu always was released if there were new gnome version
[22:21] <scientes> and unity sucks
[22:21] <ssta> bredbaker: ubuntu releases every 6 months.  (almost) always has
[22:21] <scientes> bredbaker, its just they are both on 6 month release scycles
[22:21] <bredbaker> scientes: yes
[22:21] <treesome> why are there so many linux distributions? The only difference you feel as a user is which GUI you use right?
[22:22] <ikonia> treesome: no, all have subtle differences, read on distrowatch.com the differences
[22:22] <scientes> treesome, no, people do all sorts of stuff with computers
[22:22] <bredbaker> scientes: yes you are right
[22:22] <ssta> treesome: no, there are many differences
[22:22] <ktosiek> treesome: not really, KDE and GNOME are available in most distros
[22:22] <scientes> but redhat/centos/fedora and debian/ubuntu are the big ones
[22:22] <realus> pplz, when i press a key, my mouse will free for a split second before moving again, any idea why?
[22:22] <realus> anyone ??
[22:22] <ktosiek> treesome: mostly it's about package management and priorities
[22:22] <bredbaker> do you think KDE will be the most popularity DE soon
[22:22] <bredbaker> hehe
[22:23] <treesome> and why are there no commercial games for linux? I think for many people it'S the only reason that keeps em away from using it
[22:23] <ikonia> bredbaker: this channel is for ubuntu support discussion only, please keep to that
[22:23] <realus> can anyone hear me ??
[22:23] <bredbaker> ok
[22:23] <bredbaker> realus: yessss
[22:23] <scientes> treesome, world of goo is availble for linux
[22:23] <realus> bredbaker
[22:23] <ktosiek> realus: you have some kind of protection against moving mouse when typing
[22:23] <OerHeks> treesome there are, and available tru softwarecentre.
[22:23] <bredbaker> !ask | realus
[22:23] <scientes> treesome, you have to blame microsoft's attacks on opengl
[22:23] <ktosiek> ready: but I have no idea how to turn it off
[22:23] <ikonia> treesome: this channel is ubuntu discussion, please keep to that
[22:23] <scientes> thats the main reason treesome
[22:23] <bredbaker> treesome: stop that please !!!
[22:23] <treesome> ah ok , what a shame
[22:24] <treesome> what shall i stop?
[22:24] <realus> !ask
[22:24] <realus> !patience
[22:24] <treesome> i DID ask the question
[22:24] <treesome> multiply  times
[22:24] <bredbaker> what question
[22:24] <realus> bredbaker seems so
[22:24] <ikonia> treesome: what's the problem ?
[22:25] <treesome> my windows cd says it will boot but it doesnt and i suspect GRUB to be the problem
[22:25] <bredbaker> treesome: which windows cd
[22:25] <ssta> treesome: if you'r windows CD won't boot, then you need to ask in a windows channel about that
[22:25] <ikonia> treesome: grub is not the problem, grub does not boot your windows CD
[22:25] <treesome> windows XP
[22:25] <ssta> treesome: it's not grub
[22:25] <bredbaker> treesome: xp sp1, sp2 or sp3
[22:25] <ikonia> treesome: join ##windows and ask the windows guys for help
[22:25] <treesome> sp1
[22:25] <scientes> treesome, ##windows
[22:26] <scott_z> treesome: if it is a windows cd how does grub even come into play? just boot from the cd.
[22:26] <bredbaker> sp1?? 32 or 64bt
[22:26] <bredbaker> *bit
[22:26] <ikonia> bredbaker: this has no relevence to this channel - stop
[22:26] <treesome> yeah the windows guys have shitty support though. Thank you for your help, i always appreciate it , bye
[22:26] <bredbaker> ikonia: he asked not me!!!
[22:27] <ikonia> bredbaker: yes, and I told you the topic is "ubuntu support" - not "windows support"
[22:27] <Bndr5> hello
[22:27] <bredbaker> ok
[22:28] <Tomtiger11> ikonia: Stealth Op!
[22:28] <Bndr5> Someone know how to configure Xorg.conf for change the resolution ?
[22:28] <itaylor57> Bndr5, xinitrc
[22:28] <ktosiek> Bndr5: xrandr
[22:29] <itaylor57> Bndr5, sorry for generating on
[22:29] <itaylor57> ktosiek, is right
[22:29] <Bndr5> itaylor57, what ?
[22:30] <Bndr5> ktosiek, xrandr doesn't work.
[22:30] <Bndr5> for default is 800x600,and i want more.
[22:31] <ktosiek> Bndr5: if it's not showing any other resolutions, reask your question with this information and say what graphics card you are using
[22:31] <dadsda> I used to have a static IP to my ISP but recently installed a router with openwrt - tp-link tl-wr842nd - which connects to my ISP now and I connect to my router and get my IP through DHCP, the problem si I see errors in the router logs: http://pastebin.com/w7deYAUg
[22:31] <OerHeks> Bndr5, check hardwaredrivers for closed source videodriver
[22:31] <gio333> hello
[22:31] <dadsda> my Ubuntu can still can get an IP address and I have internet but those errors continue to appear in the router logs, any ideas?
[22:31] <Bndr5> ktosiek, i have sis silicon graphics
[22:32] <ssta> dadsda: how is that an Ubuntu issue?
[22:32] <ktosiek> if it shows a list of other resolutions: xrandr -s 1024x768 (or whatever resolution from the list)
[22:32] <dadsda> ssta: I guess my Ubuntu keeps some old connection settings and creates a conflict, it request a different IP from the router, no?
[22:33] <ssta> dadsda: doubtful
[22:34] <ktosiek> dadsda: maybe your computer is set up to boot from network, but that's BIOS setting and not related to operating system
[22:34] <Bndr5> 1 seg checking..
[22:35] <dadsda> ktosiek, you think that changing my IP from static to DHCP on my Ubuntu has nothing to do with the errors in my router which show my computer request a different IP?
[22:35] <ktosiek> and suggestions that DHCP clients send do not cause any problems - server may (and normally will) ignore them
[22:35] <Tray> Hi there, i've a problem using my Toshiba NB200 with a fresh ubuntu 11.10 install (only some removing and installing of software). I recognized that ubuntu stops working when idling for too long. I tried a small ruby script wich just loops an output and it never works for more than a minute. Moving the mouse or pressing keys make it work again. I appreciate any help or hints.
[22:36] <Bndr5> ktosiek,
[22:36] <Bndr5> ubuntu@ubuntu-laptop:~$ xrandr -s 1024x768
[22:36] <Bndr5> Size 1024x768 not found in available modes
[22:36] <ktosiek> dadsda: no, but they are not errors (just informations that your PC requested IP from router)
[22:36] <sunz> I am trying to create a Hotspot on my laptop, but it does not work... did anyone get it working?
[22:36] <ktosiek> Bndr5: so, the only mode that xrandr shows is 800x600? That's a driver issue for sure, can't help you about it
[22:37] <dadsda> ktosiek, that's what I want to solve, those wrong requests from my Ubuntu going to my Router
[22:37] <Bndr5> can't why ?
[22:37] <ktosiek> dadsda: they are just normal DHCP logs, nothing to worry about
[22:37] <ktosiek> Bndr5: I have no experience with sis drivers :-)
[22:38] <OerHeks> Bndr5, SIS isn't really good supported, manufacturor does not coop
[22:38] <Bndr5> OerHeks, i need download the driver and run , nope ?
[22:38] <Bndr5> but where and how ?
[22:39] <OerHeks> Bndr5, what sis video do you have? open terminal: lspci | grep VGA
[22:40] <Bndr5> OerHeks, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)

[22:43] <ktosiek> gio333: you want to have 2 installations of Ubuntu, but with common user data?
[22:43] <Felix|Cat> Hey channel. I have a problem with Network Manager having vanished; I cannot reconnect to the internet to reinstall it. The computer in question is a netbook with no CD drive. I do not have a USB CD drive with me. I have the network-manager .deb file but no idea what to do with it. I am a bit of a noob at this. Help appreciated.
[22:44] <brianp1992> when i do apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[22:44] <brianp1992> i get E: Package 'sun-java6-jdk' has no installation candidate
[22:44] <ktosiek> Felix|Cat: try to open terminal and run nm-applet
[22:44] <brianp1992> i need to add a repo i think..
[22:44] <Logan_> brianp1992: Oracle Java is no longer available in the Ubuntu repositories.
[22:45] <brianp1992> Logan_: whats the repo?
[22:45] <Felix|Cat> ktosiek: Wilco.
[22:45] <aet> ever since i installed ubuntu, windows has been very slow and choppy
[22:45] <ktosiek> Felix|Cat: what?
[22:45] <aet> (i am running dual boot)
[22:45] <Felix|Cat> ktosiek: Ahem, sorry: Roger that.
[22:46] <ktosiek> Felix|Cat: Ok :-D
[22:46] <Logan_> brianp1992: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#Oracle_.28Sun.29_Java_6
[22:46] <Logan_> !pm | gio333
[22:46] <Felix|Cat> ktosiek: (British, slightly old-fashioned way of saying it)
[22:46] <Logan_> gio333: See what ubottu said above.
[22:46] <Felix|Cat> Restarting.
[22:47] <ktosiek> restarting?
[22:47] <Felix|Cat> It told me to.
[22:47] <ktosiek> oh, ok
[22:47] <Logan_> brianp1992: I'd recommend using openjdk-6-jdk instead, though. It works just as well, in my experience.
[22:48] <Felix|Cat> Still shows Network Manager is not running.
[22:48] <brianp1992> well im setting up android sdk, i need the jdk i think, am i wrong?
[22:48] <Felix|Cat> I have a horrible feeling it might have everything to do with this: http://alexsleat.co.uk/2011/01/09/a-more-elegant-solution-to-ubuntu-wi-fi-reconnecting-issue/
[22:48] <brianp1992> Logan_: well im setting up android sdk, i need the jdk i think, am i wrong?
[22:49] <gio333> I had installed Ubuntu , but because it is very heavy for my machine, I uninstall the ubuntu environment and installed the Lubuntu , now I have multiple environments and the machine tells me to choose at the begining
[22:49] <ktosiek> Felix|Cat: sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart
[22:49] <gio333> it tellss me to input my username and password and also to choose desktop
[22:49] <Felix|Cat> ktosiek: First thing I tried. It did nothing.
[22:49] <gio333> and there are many environments , ubuntu lubuntu kubuntu lxde  and others
[22:50] <gio333> I think the machine does not perform well because there are many environments
[22:50] <ktosiek> gio333: oh, ok, that's nothing wrong. It just lets you choose which one you want to run, but all programs and data are common
[22:50] <gio333> how can I check if I have installed something wrong ?
[22:50] <Felix|Cat> Ah, no, but not since reinstalling the service.
[22:50] <Felix|Cat> Magic, ktosiek.
[22:50] <Felix|Cat> I owe you a pint.
[22:50] <ktosiek> there shouldn't be any performance penalty for just having multiple DEs installed
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> gio333: sudo apt-get -f install
[22:51] <sunz> how can i figure out what wireless driver i am using?
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> Felix|Cat: you from he UK?
[22:51] <Felix|Cat> ActionParsnip: Not if you're looking at my IP, but by birth and raising, yep.
[22:51] <ktosiek> Felix|Cat: make that half a liter :-)
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> Felix|Cat: 'owe you a pint' is very englishy. I'm from the UK ;)
[22:52] <Felix|Cat> ktosiek: And pay for it in Euros?
[22:52] <Felix|Cat> :D
[22:52] <Felix|Cat> Yes.
[22:52] <Felix|Cat> Yes it is.
[22:52] <Felix|Cat> (God, I miss pubs)
[22:52] <ktosiek> Felix|Cat: what do you miss about them?
[22:52] <ktosiek> We've got some nice pubs here in Poland :-)
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> ktosiek: or 16 fluid ounces ;)
[22:53] <Felix|Cat> ktosiek: ...having somewhere you can get a pint. Egypt's not so hot on them.
[22:54] <gio333> ActionParship: what is this command you wrote?
[22:54] <gio333> the computer i use is like rubbish
[22:54] <gio333> I need my OS to be lightweighted
[22:55] <duckx> what is /etc/skel ??
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> gio333: it makes sure the packages are all ok, that deps are met etc
[22:55] <duckx> i want to edit my global bashrc
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> duckx: the default profile that new users copy when they are made
[22:55] <javierf_> in ubuntu 12.04 beta2, when I have a light theme (except for radiance) letters go white, and it's impossible to read them in most applications. Someone knows how to fix this bug or select manually the colour of fonts? Thanks!
[22:55] <ktosiek> gio333: all those other environments just sit on the disk and do nothing, if you're not low on HDD space you don't have to care about them
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> duckx: edit /etc/bash.bashrc   I believe, its a file in /etc you need to edit
[22:55] <ktosiek> javierf_: precise support is this way -> /join #ubuntu+1
[22:56] <ktosiek> duckx: it's what new users get copied into their $HOME
[22:56] <Felix|Cat> Now, I don't suppose anyone knows an actual solution to the problem of Ubuntu not reconnecting to a dropped connection that *won't* break network-manager?
[22:56] <duckx> ic thanks!
[22:56] <duckx> skel stands for skelton ?
[22:57] <ktosiek> I think so
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> Felix|Cat: unload then reload the driver module, may help
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> duckx: afaik yes
[22:57] <gio333> ktosiek: I dont have a HDD problem , I am Ok with that . But I have a memory and cpu space problem . The cpu when I choose lubuntu is 100%. How can I be sure that another enviroment isnt runnung on the back ?
[22:57] <Felix|Cat> On second thoughts, thanks ActionParsnip for the suggestion, but I think, at 1am, I should get back to that at a later date. That one's not urgent, after all.
[22:58] <Felix|Cat> Cheers ktosiek, ActionParsnip.
[22:58] <gridbag> what's the package name for the "boost" dev tools?
[22:59] <ktosiek> gio333: it just isn't, some parts (like window manager or notifications daemon) would collide and anyway: only the one you choose at login screen is started
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> !find boost
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> gridbag: libboost-dev   maybe..
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> gridbag: or try:  apt-cache search boot | less
[22:59] <ktosiek> if you want to find what's eating your CPU use top (or htop, it's nicer :-))
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> boost, typo
[23:01] <hinder90> hi, I have a question about the sadc implementation in ubuntu 10.04
[23:01] <hinder90> I am trying to collect individual i/o metrics for each disk
[23:02] <hinder90> sadc doesn't accept the -d option nor does -S DISK provide that data to make sar -d work
[23:02] <hinder90> you just get Requested activities not available in file....
[23:03] <hinder90> I have hunted hi and low for a solution... anyone know how this is done?
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> hinder90: does testdisk not help?
[23:04] <Bndr5> someone know how works xrandr ??
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> hinder90: or hdparm
[23:04] <hinder90> ActionParsnip: I added it and the behavior didn't change
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> hinder90: testdisk is a data recovery app so isn't useful. Got muddled
[23:05] <hinder90> ActionParsnip: hdparm already install
[23:05] <Bndr5> OerHeks,
[23:05] <hinder90> iostat shows the data well enough
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> hinder90: you can set options on devices with hdparm
[23:05] <hinder90> I am just trying to collect with sar
[23:05] <nostriluu> hi, am running 10.04, is there a fix for CVE-2012-1182 ? thanks
[23:06] <hinder90> ActionParsnip: whoa, do I want to be mucking with hdparm? looks dangerous :-)
[23:07] <gio333> there is a process called gnome-system-monitor in the Task Manager . Since I use Lubuntu that is LXDE , why is a gnome thing running ?
[23:07] <FrozenFire> Curious. I installed Ubuntu via Wubi (to dual-boot with 7), and it failed to boot. Drops to initramfs and says it gave up waiting for root device.
[23:07] <ktosiek> gio333: kill it and see what happens
[23:08] <Pici> nostriluu: not yet.
[23:08] <FrozenFire> The two possible issues I see are that 1) I have a Truecrypt-encrypted system disk, and 2) It looked like it was downloading the amd64 ISO, and this is an Intel 64-bit processor.
[23:08] <ktosiek> it's funny that it's running, do you have some "system monitor" hotkey on keyboard?
[23:08] <nostriluu> pici, what should i do in the meantime ? it seems rather threatening
[23:08] <FrozenFire> Any ideas?
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> gio333: LXDE is made using GTK
[23:09] <ktosiek> FrozenFire: Intel 64bit CPUs used in desktop are of amd64 architecture
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> FrozenFire: amd64 is just a name that stuck, much like 'IDE drive. It will run on 64bit intel CPU
[23:09] <ktosiek> AFAIK Intels 64bit arch (IA64) is not used on desktops
[23:09] <hinder90> ActionParsnip: what was your sugguestion what I should do with hdparm to get disk i/o metrics to report in sadc?
[23:09] <gio333> ActionParsnip: Is it running by default in lubuntu ?
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> hinder90: sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
[23:10] <FrozenFire> Yeah, that's what I thought. I can install the 32-bit version of Ubuntu through Wubi by downloading the 32-bit ISO, yes? I vaguely recall there being a Wubi.exe on the ISOs.
[23:10] <hinder90> ActionParsnip: it looks like it is doing something when I run that
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> gio333: no, the gnome desktop is not in Lubuntu, but the toolkit used to make the apps is the same and is partly why you use gksudo to run gui apps even in lubuntu as well as xfce
[23:10] <Pici> nostriluu: I'm not sure what to suggest. I don't see a fix published in Debian or even on RedHat yet, so I'd expect us to have something up soon.
[23:11] <Bndr5> Someone know how solve this ? http://pastebin.com/F09nHjts
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> hinder90: it's the test command, it tests write and read speeds
[23:11] <Bndr5> ktosiek, still here.
[23:11] <hinder90> ActionParsnip: it would seem like the -d aption simply doesn't work with lucid's implementation of sadc

[23:13] <d-bugger> inxtone: wha?
[23:13] <ktosiek> Bndr5: if xrandr is not showing you all the sizes you want it's something with drivers, and I don't know anything about SIS drivers
[23:13] <Logan_> inxtone: As in "for?"
[23:13] <inxtone> simple question
[23:13] <inxtone> what is it used for?
[23:13] <d-bugger> oh
[23:13] <Logan_> !ubuntu | inxtone
[23:13] <Bndr5> L3top, nope just 1024x768, delete the others
[23:14] <inxtone> how does it differ from .Net development
