[09:53] <Jitu> HI guys
[09:54] <Jitu> M new in ubuntu
[09:54] <moogz> ok pfifo i'll try that out
[09:54] <moogz> thanks for your input
[09:54] <pfifo> Seryth, /dev/dvd is the dvd drive, /media/dvd_title is the disk
[09:54] <Jitu> can  u suggest me the most important apps for ubuntu???
[09:55] <Seryth> pfifo: Well, neither one works :/
[09:55] <pfifo> Seryth, try playing /dev/cdrom
[09:55] <Jitu> M geting very low sound in ubuntu as comapre to windows 7
[09:55] <Jitu> can any 1 help to fix this
[09:56] <pfifo> Jitu, increase the volume
[09:56] <Jitu> i did
[09:56] <Jitu> its over 100%
[09:56] <Jitu> Still same
[09:56] <pfifo> Jitu, try running 'alsamixer' and increasing it there
[09:57] <Jitu> k
[09:57] <recognosco> llutz_: networkmanager is gui, we will not count that. dhclient is out - what if there is no dhcp... now read this: http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Defining_the_.28DNS.29_Nameservers
[09:58] <llutz_> recognosco: "dns-nameservers x.y.w.z" in /etc/network/interfaces
[09:59] <mi3> Hi, I downloaded a font called bank gothic light bt and installed it, now i would like to add it to conky, what name do I write in that file? can someone suggest that?
[09:59] <llutz_> recognosco: you read "Don't use this method if you have the resolvconf program installed"  which should be in most cases
[10:00] <moogz> pfifo: i gave that a shot, but it doesn't seem to run my spawnd.sh onboot - it works a charm if i run spawnd & after boot though
[10:00] <moogz> to a line preceding exit 0, i've added: /bin/spawnd &
[10:00] <recognosco> llutz_: yeah, but that is a special condition...
[10:00] <llutz_> recognosco: not really
[10:01] <derpladee> hey guys, evince is really fast and cool but it only has room for like 5 pages at the same time when i open a PDF
[10:01] <derpladee> can i allow it to use more memory or something like that?
[10:01] <recognosco> llutz_: so we can remove resolnconf and manually edit /etc/resolv.conf < solvs the problem
[10:01] <moogz> i do have a successful script setup in rcS.d, so i'm trying to prepend the spawnd & line to that
[10:01] <mi3> Hi, I downloaded a font called bank gothic light bt and installed it, now i would like to add it to conky, what name do I write in that file? can someone suggest that?
[10:01] <derpladee> i mean, it only stores 5 pages in the memory so if i go to another page not in those 5 then it will stop to load
[10:01] <pfifo> moogz, well, upstart gives you the best felixibility if all else fails
[10:01] <derpladee> i don't mind it using 1gb memory because i have enough and i use pdfs a lot
[10:02] <llutz_> recognosco: so we configure /etc/network/interfaces once, and never have to care about /etc/resolv.conf <- solves the problem. lets stop it here
[10:02] <moogz> dang.  so it's a bit strange that even with my working rcS.d/S01blah script which is fully operational, that when i add one extra command as the first line it doesn't work
[10:03] <moogz> i guess i could try outputting &>/root/whatsgoingon to see if something's amiss, but it works when i'm booted up
[10:04] <mi3> anyone?
[10:04] <pfifo> moogz, it would work if you went to single user mode, you want rc3.d... no actually you want /etc/init
[10:05] <recognosco> llutz_: sure. it is ubuntu channel afterall. you're right.
[10:05] <ryanyeah> anyone know if it is possible to set up a cron job to download a pdf from a site that you have to first log in to over https? it is surprisingly difficult to google an answer to that question
[10:06] <moogz> i've added it as a line to the /etc/init.d/rc.local script in the hope that'll nail it
[10:06] <pfifo> ryanyeah, yes it is
[10:08] <moogz> i did a &>/root/whatsup and it's a blank file.  i wonder what's going on
[10:08] <moogz> so i know it's executing it, but it's not remaining executed

[10:09] <Django_Novice> i want to run a command with sudo in a script....its askin for a password
[10:10] <Django_Novice> is there any chance i could provide password with the command so it shouldnt prompt for password
[10:10] <pfifo> Django_Novice, run the script with sudo
[10:10] <Django_Novice> pfifo: let me try that
[10:11] <parapan> hello everyone I use ubntu 10.04 LTS; after last update, the system starts very low, the HDD light is always flashing and every 10-15 seconds the systems tries to start File Manager which is not opening anyway; also , every 20 seconds the CPU goes 1005 for 2-3 seconds, and this happens all the time .....any clue how can I handle this ???
[10:12] <recognosco> parapan: look at your boot log
[10:12] <parapan> recognosco:
[10:13] <parapan> can I do that ?
[10:13] <parapan> recognosco: how can I do that ?

[10:15] <chown_> as i understood /etc/fstab is for permanent mounts, and i did that. And those permanent mounts appears on as a Computer drive.  want to know why  its also appearing at the Devices on my files manager: http://uppix.net/6/b/5/f1016566a98895efc189aecda77ba.png
[10:17] <pfifo> chown_, can you pastebin the output of `mount` the file /etc/fstab and the file /etc/mtab

[10:24] <chown_> pfifo: there we go
[10:24] <chown_> bwt i what if the mtab?
[10:24] <chown_> what is the mtab*
[10:25] <pokuy> guys what is on the xterm log in
[10:26] <Truepid> can any one tell me about the configuration file that stores default window manager conf
[10:28] <pfifo> chown_, sorry, im not seeing any hints there
[10:28] <chown_> pfifo: ok, np
[10:29] <chown_> pfifo: but would u explain to em whats the diff bwtween fstab and mtab?
[10:30] <pfifo> chown_, from wikipedia The mtab (contraction of mounted file systems table) file is a system information file, commonly found on Unix-like systems. This file lists all currently mounted filesystems along with their initialization options. mtab has a lot in common with fstab, the main distinction being that the latter lists all available filesystems whereas the former lists only currently mounted ones. Therefore mtab is usually in a format similar to that of f
[10:30] <pfifo> stab. Most of the time it is possible to directly use lines from mtab in fstab.
[10:31] <AdvoWork> Hi there, just wondering, does anyone know exactly what sudo apt-get install php5-gd does? i mean, does it literally get the .so and copy it to a dir and change php.ini or what else? how would I ever find that out?
[10:31] <avernos> is it possible to set up doble display?
[10:32] <shruggar> yes
[10:32] <pfifo> AdvoWork, pretty much, it downloads a package containing many files, installs them on your system, and then configures the system as neede
[10:32] <avernos> shruggar, with acceleration, unity and stuff?
[10:32] <AdvoWork> pfifo, i was wondering if I can somehow find out exactly what files etc so I can manually do it
[10:32] <avernos> shruggar, i mean, not as cloned display, as a secondary display
[10:33] <Django_Novice> pfifo: in my situation im running git pull command in the same script....so if i run script with sudo ...git pull command is giving me permission denied error
[10:33] <shruggar> avernos: I have dual-monitor set-up with accelleration using NVidea "TwinView"
[10:33] <pfifo> AdvoWork, you can use dpkg -L <package name> after its installed to list the files in the package, or use apt-file if you dont want to install it first
[10:33] <Django_Novice> pfifo: i cant run script with sudo... so need to provide password with sudo command to avoid password prompt
[10:34] <pfifo> Django_Novice, you can use visudo, to allow yourself to run certian commands without a password
[10:34] <Django_Novice> can i run pkill with visudo???
[10:35] <pfifo> Django_Novice, visudo edits the configuration for sudo
[10:35] <pfifo> Django_Novice, no, but you can make it so sudo doesnt ask for a password when you try to run `sudo pkill`
[10:36] <pfifo> Django_Novice, but in the end, NO you cannot specify a password in the script
[10:36] <Django_Novice> pfifo: so visudo pkill -of will not ask for password??
[10:36] <gr33n7007h> #!/bin/bash/bosh
[10:36] <gr33n7007h> sup!
[10:37] <Django_Novice> pfifo: whats the best way to execute commands in the script??
[10:37] <pfifo> Django_Novice, no that is incorrect, the program visudo is meant to be run by itself. it is a text editor
[10:37] <wadkar> I want to install 'sealert' utility to connect to a setroubleshoot server on a CentOS server
[10:38] <Django_Novice> pfifo: I have a situation where I need to execute few commands plus a git pull.... where git pull would'nt work with sudo
[10:39] <pfifo> wadkar, look in the software center for it and if theres nothing there look for a ppa on launchpad
[10:39] <Django_Novice> pfifo: whats the best possible solutoin???
[10:39] <wadkar> pfifo: thanks, I keep forgetting the software center , used 'apt-cache search' all the time
[10:39] <pfifo> Django_Novice, ideally you dont use sudo in a shell script, the best possible solution is to run your shell script all as one user
[10:40] <pavucina> Hello, I have a problem with downloading packages, is ubuntu server down now?
[10:40] <Django_Novice> pfifo: hmmm i dnt have root privilege and i cnt run git pull with sudo :)
[10:41] <Django_Novice> now what am i supposed to do :)
[10:41] <pfifo> Django_Novice, run git pull without sudo
[10:41] <Django_Novice> pfifo: let me try that
[10:41] <AdvoWork> pfifo, if i do apt-file php5-gd what will that do?
[10:41] <Django_Novice> pfifo: thanks
[10:42] <pavucina> Hello, I have a problem with downloading packages, is ubuntu server down now? please
[10:42] <pfifo> AdvoWork, I dont know
[10:42] <jatt> which server
[10:43] <pavucina> I cant download any package
[10:43] <pavucina> I dont know which server
[10:43] <kalimojo> what is the latest version of ubuntu >?
[10:43] <pavucina> 11.10
[10:43] <pfifo> !11.10 | kalimojo
[10:45] <kalimojo> ok im on 11.10. i thought i saw a reference to 12.04 tho
[10:46] <pfifo> !12.04 | kalimojo
[10:46] <pfifo> it wont be out until april
[10:47] <metaspike> anyone know where the nitty, gritty settings for tap to click functionality are stored for the synaptics standard touchpads?

[10:48] <jn_> hi how can i determine which sda is my root partition ?
[10:48] <pfifo> metaspike, somewhere in /usr/lib/xorg.conf.d
[10:49] <pfifo> jn_, run `mount`
[10:50] <jn_> ok ty

[10:53] <AdvoWork> i'm trying to do sudo apt-get install php5-gd but its on about upgrading other packages. Can I not just say just do that and nothing else?
[10:55] <drcode> hi all
[10:55] <drcode> how can I remove linux-image-pae and replace it with regular image?
[10:55] <chown_> what should i do if i create some script and it has a sudo command in there, how should i handle it?
[10:55] <drcode> any idea please?
[10:55] <pfifo> AdvoWork, you can download the package and install it manually with dpkg, forcing it and ignoring dependencies, but thats a BAD idea
[10:56] <damo22> pfifo: one way is to do apt-get install --no-recommends
[10:56] <pfifo> drcode, sudo apt-get install <prefered image here>
[10:56] <drcode> I did
[10:56] <drcode> but it still using pae image
[10:56] <AdvoWork> pfifo, i need to install php5-gd but can't/dont want to upgrade anything else php related :S
[10:56] <AdvoWork> why is it a bad idea?
[10:57] <pfifo> drcode, well now you can `sudo apt-get remove <old image here>`
[10:57] <damo22> drcode: boot into the new kernel using grub, and remove the old kernel
[10:57] <pfifo> AdvoWork, because it likely will not run correctly
[10:57] <drcode> I can run both images?
[10:57] <drcode> what is the regualr image?
[10:57] <damo22> drcode: it will let you have both on your system but only one runs at a time
[10:58] <drcode> ok
[10:58] <drcode> the regular is generic?
[10:58] <pfifo> AdvoWork, thats why I build php from scratch and all of its extras too, thats the only way to get any real control over it
[10:58] <damo22> drcode, pae is for systems with more than 4Gb ram and allows physical address extension cpu stuff
[10:59] <drcode> ok
[10:59] <drcode> thanx
[10:59] <drcode> I will try it
[10:59] <drcode> thanx
[10:59] <FloodBot1> drcode: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:59] <drcode> thanx

[11:15] <Starn> can the USB installer of ubuntu 11.10 x64 detect unallocated hard drive space?
[11:16] <jmoerk> Starn: yes, if you mean it can detect an empty partition
[11:16] <Starn> jmoerk: i believe so.. i had to use windows partitioner to shrink a hard drive made an empty partition thats 240gb for ubuntu.
[11:17] <jmoerk> should be fine then :)
[11:17] <Starn> well 234.38gb to be exact my math was off by a hair lol
[11:17] <jmoerk> I did something similar
[11:17] <jmoerk> :P
[11:18] <Starn> well jmoerk  i decided to not remove my ubuntu install on my 160gb external for i often use it to repair broken bootmgr and windows stuff.. (repairs computers as a side job) and it's 32bit.. i want a 64bit for my new machine has over 4gb of ram.
[11:19] <Starn> jmoerk: i am correct to keep the 32bit for it's mor compatible with most all hardware?
[11:19] <parapan> hello everyone I use ubntu 10.04 LTS; after last update, the system starts very low, the HDD light is always flashing and every 10-15 seconds the systems tries to start File Manager which is not opening anyway; also , every 20 seconds the CPU goes 1005 for 2-3 seconds, and this happens all the time .....any clue how can I handle this ???

[11:21] <TechDesk> of*
[11:22] <jmoerk> Starn: I don't know really, I'm not an expert on what versions goes with which hardware, all I can say is I still havent found something I couldn't do with my 64bit system
[11:22] <bilal03> i can't change my resolution to standard ( its 1440x900 for my LCD). In Display properties it cannot detect my monitor any resolution stuck on 1024x768. i'm using ubuntu 11.10... any idea about this???

[11:23] <pfifo> Starn, yes 32bit version of ubuntu support more hardware, namely 32bit CPUs
[11:24] <MonkeyDust> Starn  32bit can be run on both 32 and 64bit hardware - 64bit can be run on 64bit only
[11:26] <TechDesk> It's true then the last version of ubuntu cannot boot avec grub legacy ?

[11:44] <Myrtti> ponrajuganesh: so how does your Solaris problem relate to Ubuntu? What's the connection?
[11:44] <pfifo> ponrajuganesh, connect to the solaris machine with "ssh -XC <hostname>"
[11:45] <ponrajuganesh> ya trying that pfifo
[11:45] <erinaceus> Hi, i have a quick question. I create a usergroup www and gave it ownership of /var/www, i added my account to that group and changed the group rights to rwx but still cant create files. What did i miss?
[11:45] <parapan> pfifo: I managed to see some process - some times /usr/bin/X si taking 40-50% of the CPU, some times /usr/bin/python is going CPU to 99% - is this telling something to you ??
[11:45] <pfifo> parapan, what are you running in python?
[11:46] <TechDesk> erinaceus relog
[11:46] <parapan> pfifo: I think it has to do with the update process
[11:47] <Fireballin> Sup all, i am trying to duel linux with Win 7 but before the gui starts it locks  up and i can see where it says "unable to Mount Image
[11:47] <erinaceus> TechDesk: Thanks, worked like a charm
[11:47] <TechDesk> :)
[11:47] <chown_> what is this line at my fstab ::   proc    /proc     proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid  ?
[11:47] <pfifo> parapan, can you find out the name of the process that is taking up all the CPU?
[11:48] <parapan> pfifo: just now, nautilus was taking 200% of the CPU ....but then is dissapearing and I cannot kill the process ...looks like a ghost process or so ...
[11:48] <bilal03> hi guyz... i can't change my resolution to standard ( its 1440x900 for my LCD). In Display properties it cannot detect my monitor and resolution stuck on 1024x768. i'm using ubuntu 11.10... any idea about this???
[11:49] <pfifo> parapan, it sounds like you broke your system while updating, reinstall
[11:50] <parapan> pfifo: I was afraid of that ..I updated via USB modem and probably I had errors when downloading ....:(
[11:50] <pfifo> parapan, update more often
[11:50] <pfifo> nightly
[11:50] <ponrajuganesh> thanks a lot pfifo
[11:50] <ponrajuganesh> got it :)
[11:50] <Starn> hey the new installer for ubuntu/xubuntu is way different than the last time i used.. i have two hard drives.. both 500gb used windows partition manager to make 240gb partition for ubuntu/xubuntu  will ubuntu installer automatically detect the smallest partition so to speak and install on that?
[11:51] <pfifo> Starn, be safe and partition manually
[11:51] <parapan> pfifo: do you have any clue about evolution mail client if they have a support channel on freenode ??
[11:51] <Starn> so don't used install alongside them?
[11:51] <pfifo> !alis evolution
[11:52] <Fireballin> Sup all, i am trying to duel linux with Win 7 but before the gui starts it locks  up and i can see where it says "unable to Mount Image
[11:52] <wadkar> 'sudo apt-cache search setroubleshoot' yields nothing (please don't redirect me to Software Center) , google results show that package is there, what am I missing?
[11:52] <pfifo> !alis | parapan
[11:52] <Starn> if not in manual is suggest swap size for 4gb or ram 4gb swap?
[11:52] <jmoerk> Starn: I'm pretty sure it selects the free one, but there should be an option for seeing which one is being used if I remember correctly
[11:53] <pfifo> Starn, the recommended amount of swap for a system with 4GB of memory is 8GB
[11:53] <parapan> pfifo: Ok, thank you for support
[11:53] <Starn> pfifo: ok thanks.. do you know the exact number for 8gb? i only remember 4292 to be 4gb..
[11:54] <Starn> jmoerk: the install alongside them option should detect the "free space" and install in that?
[11:54] <pfifo> Starn,<PHONE_NUMBER> bytes
[11:54] <babilen> Starn: 8192 and 4gb would be 4096
[11:54] <Mayazcherquoi> Hey guys, how can I stop *all* programs that run full screen from crashing? (running oneiric, netbook w/ 1280x576)
[11:54] <jmoerk> Starn: exactly
[11:55] <casa> come rientro in ubuntu italia ?
[11:55] <LjL> casa: /join #Ubuntu-it
[11:56] <Starn> jmoerk: i see there is ext 4 now.. that's suggest to use?  (can you tell it's been awhile?)
[11:56] <Starn> jmoerk: btw i am manually setting it up..
[11:57] <pfifo> Starn, ext4 is really nice, almost instant fsck
[11:57] <patrunjel> Hi. I have some files with names in the format : Whatever_name.flac, and I want to change then into The_same_name.mp3 . I tried piping ls to mv, a for statement, and piping ls to a variable and then renaming the files after the variable. Everything failed :D . Could you please help me out?
[11:58] <Starn> pfifo: ok. i'll use that! lol ok how does this sound to you?  /dev/sdb5 swap 8192mb    /dev/sdb6 ext4  /  243.4gb   the / after ext4 is mount point.
[11:58] <pfifo> patrunjel, ls *.falc | sed 's/flac/mp3/'  THEN copy and paste its ouput
[11:59] <jmoerk> Starn: seems fine to me
[11:59] <pfifo> Starn, meh, i would use a single partition and then add a swapfile instead
[11:59] <jmoerk> hehe
[11:59] <pfifo> patrunjel, notice i misspelled the first flac
[12:00] <Starn> pfifo: woo i don't know if this is a new option or now.. but it's letting me choose which device to put bootloader.. should i use the one that is the same device as windows OS? for i intend to restore windows boot loader and adding ubuntu to the list.. in case grub fails (which my luck it has done so with every install i have had)
[12:01] <Starn> pfifo: i prefer to make a partition for a swap. i even do that for windows.
[12:02] <pfifo> patrunjel, sorry, i didnt give you enough command there, run 'ls *.flac | sed 's/\(.*\)flac/mv "\1flac" "\1mp3"/'
[12:03] <pfifo> Starn, have fun resizing the amout of swap you have :)
[12:03] <MonkeyDust> patrunjel  flac is not mp3, does renaming the files convert them?
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> patrunjel  flac is 'free lossless oudio codec' - mp3 is not lossless, it is compressed
[12:04] <Starn> jmoerk: did you read what i said to pfifo ?  if my bios is set to load /dev/sda  first that would leave windows boot manager alone correct? that is if i placed the bootloader on /dev/sdb ? and than i could boot into grub just by going to bios boot menu selecting second hard drive vs going through windows manager or grub.. w/e... i am confusing my self.
[12:04] <zainw> morning all
[12:05] <jmoerk> Starn: I really don't know, I always just use grub as the bootloader
[12:05] <pfifo> Starn, yes you can install grub on a different device and then boot from it via the boot menu
[12:05] <Starn> pfifo: i rarely resize the swap partition. and if i ever need to i can do so easily by taking space from the ntfs partition on the same hard drive.. it's currently 500gb hard drive that's empty.
[12:05] <jmoerk> pfifo has a point though, a swap file is easier to resize
[12:06] <Starn> pfifo: thanks and jmoerk thanks as well that'll kinda make it easier for me.. i don't mind holding down esc key when bios loads up to get to linux. been doing so anyways
[12:06] <hobbelt> anyone tried an Ubuntu / OSx / Windows dualboot?
[12:06] <MonkeyDust> !anyone
[12:06] <hobbelt> so a trippleboot :)
[12:06] <pfifo> hobbelt, you can multi-boot just as easy as dual boot
[12:06] <Starn> hobbelt: i've never used mac... but i use to have xp vista and ubuntu and another linux distro on the same machine.
[12:07] <fireballin> Sup all, i am trying to duel boot linux with Win 7 but before the gui starts it locks  up and i can see where it says "unable to Mount Image" i am not really new to linux just new to the whole win 7 thing so not sure what is happening
[12:07] <hobbelt> Starn I have Win 7 and Ubuntu atm, that works perfectly (it always has) but will probably ruin Grub with OSx install, if it works at all
[12:07] <Klojum> I'm using a tripleboot on my laptop currently... WinXP / Ubuntu 11.10 / OpenELEC
[12:08] <pfifo> fireballin, do you use uefi?
[12:08] <hobbelt> Just need iMovie, but dont think it will run in vmware
[12:08] <fireballin> no
[12:08] <Starn> hobbelt: gah i miss my win7.... i had a poweroutage which kinda destroyed the hard drive with win7! now i am stuck with xp for speed (games) ubuntu for awesome stuff and dev.. and vista for audio work..  i hear mac os
[12:09] <zainw> morning all, is there any one that could help me with a question please about installing 11.10 on a dell R610 server please?
[12:09] <Starn> hobbelt: i hear mac os's are great for picture and audio and video editing if you got the money
[12:09] <MonkeyDust> !anyone| zainw
[12:09] <hobbelt> Got free students lisence on al OS :)
[12:09] <anoob> i've created a bootable usb device with LiLi USB Creator. I've disabled everything except removable device in bios but it doesn't boot at all. I don't have a CD driver and I want to install Ubuntu ...
[12:09] <yun> need ubuntu server.. (french)
[12:09] <Starn> hobbelt: that's very nice! that is how i got my win7..
[12:09] <hobbelt> same here :)
[12:10] <hobbelt> alright, ill just try and be sure to keep a livedisc close
[12:11] <Starn> hobbelt: to be honest it was my friend who went to college... and he gave me his copy.. he had unlimited access to any os on as many machines as he wanted... (super jealous) but anyways this isn't the place to have general chat.. um.. i believe you should of installed windows mac than ubuntu...
[12:12] <hobbelt> Starn yes, thats true with windows.. but i know a livedisc can fix that with bootfix or something like that.
[12:12] <Starn> hobbelt: if mac os screws anything up i can tell you how to restore the windows boot loader which can be setup just like grub.
[12:12] <zainw> I'll admit to being a completely noob with Ubuntu, Centos im not too bad with. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 on a dell R610 server with a H200 Raid card and 2 x 250gb in raid 1. All goes well, everything installs ok, reboot and hey presto... It wont boot in to ubuntu. There is no grub screen, nothing
[12:13] <hobbelt> zainw you booting the right disc?
[12:13] <Starn> i suck at using grub hobbelt so please don't ask anything about that directed to me.. i'll probably further break your os.. haha
[12:14] <zainw> used the guided setup with in the installer to set all that up. it did ask to use MBR so said yes
[12:14] <hobbelt> zainw or partition the right way? raid1 requires you to manual select the right partition properties as far as I recall
[12:14] <zainw> in fairness, it didnt give me the option to choose which disk
[12:14] <Starn> hey on ubuntu install when it ask where are you.. whats the closest place to oklahoma city? so i can have the currect time?
[12:15] <hobbelt> Starn just pick something within your time zone
[12:15] <Starn> nvm.. hobbelt i found oklahoma city.. doubt you can get closer than that.. haha!
[12:15] <hobbelt> ;)
[12:15] <hobbelt> zainw i would look into the advanced installation guides for raid setups
[12:16] <hobbelt> zainw --> https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html
[12:16] <Starn> holy crap.. they finally actually added my town to list of locations! i might faint..
[12:18] <zainw> in theory, a live cd should get me in to the system as it stands shouldnt it? dont mind wiping everything again if needed as its a new install
[12:18] <pfifo> zainw, is your card a fakeraid?
[12:19] <P1rate> hi :)
[12:19] <fireballin> maybe someone else might have an answer as to why when attepmting to dual-boot ubuntu from USB drive with Win 7 it locks up and says "Unable to Mount Image"
[12:20] <zainw> nope, its a proper hardware H200 from Dell
[12:20] <hobbelt> fireballin does it say more?
[12:20] <pfifo> zainw, then the advanced installation isnt for you
[12:21] <zainw> its all about the software raid from the looks of it
[12:21] <pfifo> ... atleast not for setting up thye raid
[12:21] <hobbelt> pfifo but then it should work out of the box..
[12:21] <fireballin> no
[12:21] <zainw> i would have thought that the installer would have just done it like centos does lol
[12:22] <pfifo> hobbelt, a realraid will simply look like a single drive, and doesnt require any additional drivers or software
[12:22] <MonkeyDust> zainw  centos is redhat based, no?
[12:22] <zainw> correct
[12:24] <fireballin> hobbelt, no it doesn't
[12:24] <hobbelt> fireballin is it a mountable usb drive? or did you just put the iso on the usb?
[12:24] <Zaitzev> I'm running a windows program  in wine, but it doesn't show in the dash, nor is it visible using Alt+Tab. Why is that? oO
[12:25] <fireballin> hobbelt, it is mountable this will be the 3rd or forth install from this drive
[12:29] <ubuntu> oh hi
[12:29] <ubuntu> is this on
[12:30] <fireballin> yes
[12:30] <ubuntu> hello :P
[12:30] <fireballin> hobbelt, any ideas?
[12:30] <fireballin> :L)
[12:30] <ubuntu> can anyone help me
[12:30] <Starn> be right back install is done.
[12:31] <fireballin> ubuntu, ask away
[12:31] <hobbelt> fireballin well, try to hash check the iso on the stick, it might be corrupt if you have used it a couple of times. After all is flash memory..
[12:31] <ubuntu> will installing ubuntu delete my windows xp i have?
[12:31] <hobbelt> ubuntu if you install it on the same partition yes
[12:31] <hobbelt> So just dont to that
[12:31] <ubuntu> oh thx
[12:31] <fireballin> ubuntu, no in the installer is an option the install aloongside
[12:32] <hobbelt> ubuntu you could even try the wubi installer the first time
[12:32] <fireballin> hobbelt, ok i will try that
[12:32] <fireballin> ty :)
[12:32] <ubuntu> i have ubuntu 11.10 instalation on my usb stick
[12:33] <mdl4> hey all
[12:33] <mdl4> what's good
[12:34] <ubuntu> ok im going to install it from usb :)
[12:34] <zainw> so no more thoughts as to why cant boot with MBR on this raid then folks? this install seriously to bug me as it never errors or anything :(
[12:35] <Amoz> zainw, when you install, does it look like one disk?
[12:35] <zainw> yes it does
[12:35] <Amoz> the RAID I mean
[12:35] <Amoz> k
[12:36] <Amoz> and you use the alternate installer, ubuntu-server?
[12:36] <zainw> just gives me the 255gb disk then i use guided with lvm or with out
[12:36] <zainw> using the ubuntu 11.10 setup disk
[12:36] <Amoz> zainw, which one?
[12:36] <zainw> have tried 10.04, 11.04 and now 11.10 so must be something im missing
[12:37] <Amoz> zainw, is it for a server?
[12:37] <pfifo> zainw, are you using lvm or not?
[12:37] <zainw> yes Amoz
[12:37] <nodestool> where does zsh put the config files for autocomplate?
[12:37] <Amoz> zainw, and you're using the 11.10 server image?
[12:38] <zainw> its the 3rd cd I've downloaded fromthe ubuntu site just in case the others were faulty
[12:38] <zainw> its server 11.10
[12:38] <Pici> nodestool: /usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion/ would be a good place to start, as well as the zsh documentation.
[12:39] <Amoz> zainw, have you tried something else than guided installation?
[12:39] <hubx> hey, I recently upgraded to 12.04. Now if I plug in my external screen (Dell 24") I can't use the screen of my notebook. (xrandr shows correctly configured VGA1 and LVDS1, so I guess its a driver problem)
[12:39] <Amoz> for example setting up partitions and bootloader yourself?
[12:39] <zainw> Amoz, not yet
[12:39] <nodestool> Thanks Pici
[12:39] <tomreyn> is it possible to use gnome3 applets with xfce4?
[12:39] <hubx> what information should I include in the bugreport
[12:39] <Amoz> hubx, depends what you're reporting for
[12:40] <Amoz> zainw, might help to have a little more control of the installation
[12:41] <hubx> Amoz, " I recently upgraded to 12.04. Now if I plug in my external screen (Dell 24") I can't use the screen of my notebook. (xrandr shows correctly configured VGA1 and LVDS1, so I guess its a driver problem)"
[12:41] <sacarlson> zainw: maybe there's an option to disable the internal raid in bios?  run then normal?  if so maybe you can setup a software raid in ubuntu
[12:41] <auronandace> !12.04 | hubx
[12:41] <zainw> Amoz, in what way
[12:41] <hubx> auronandace, ty
[12:42] <Amoz> zainw, maybe the guided installer does something stupid
[12:42] <Amoz> sometimes its better to do it the manual way
[12:43] <Amoz> zainw, what happens after installation when you try to boot?
[12:44] <zainw> Amoz, sorry on the phone
[12:45] <sacarlson> amoz: zainw: maybe if it's just an mbr problem he could try add a 3rd disk just for the mbr to isolate if that's the problem,  like just use a usb flash as the mbr to try
[12:47] <Amoz> sacarlson, zainw after install, maybe you could boot up the live cd and explore the disk for partitions etc. see if everything is there as it should. Also you can reinstall MBR from the live usb
[12:48] <zainw> Sorry about that guys
[12:48] <thoong> when is the next release after 11.10? current iso is a bit wonky on my system.
[12:49] <Amoz> thoong, 12.04 in april
[12:49] <thoong> thanks save me from burning it
[12:49] <Amoz> thoong, you know you can use an usb, right?
[12:49] <graziano> !list
[12:49] <thoong> yeah but kinda old school
[12:50] <zainw> Amoz, have booted with the livecd at present and in fairness, its sees the 255gb drive but there is very little on there that i would recognise as being anywhere close to how it should look etc
[12:50] <sacarlson> amoz: zainw: I agree should be able to mount and explore the attempted install with the livecd, my guess is it fails to mount in grub
[12:50] <starn> how do i setup irssi to auto connect to two servers? example freenode and efnet.  and have auto identify for freenode plus auto join channels?
[12:51] <Amoz> starn, have you tried the irssi documentation?
[12:51] <bdrewery_> starn: offtopic, #irssi, setup multiple networks.
[12:51] <zainw> sacarlson, it wont even show me the grub screen if i font use the live cd
[12:52] <Amoz> zainw, what happens then?
[12:52] <Amoz> zainw, most computer usually say something if it can't find an operating system om disk etc
[12:52] <zainw> Amoz, when i try and boot with out the live cd?
[12:52] <Amoz> yes
[12:53] <tomreyn> hi, is it possible to use gnome3 applets with xfce4? i'm trying to get the gnome-invest applet working with xfce. the normal way to do this seems to be using xfapplet, but this was since removed off oneiric (which i'm running).
[12:53] <zainw> amoz, Nothing, the server does its loading of hardware as in loads raid setup, loads network, loads iDrac card then it SHOULD load the mbr but it doesnt, it just stops dead in its tracks
[12:54] <zainw> If i leave the boot from other devices on such as network etc, says that there is no bootable system
[12:54] <starn> i have looked a the documentations some.. but i don't remember anything they said.. plus i need to finish update and installing video drivers before i go to a website for everything is super hard to see atm..
[12:54] <auronandace> tomreyn: i thought xfapplet was for getting gnome2 applets working (it wouldn't work with gnome3 applets) thats why it was removed (because gnome2 was removed)
[12:55] <sacarlson> zainw: but can you explore the attepted install with a livecd to see if the files are there that we would expect to see?
[12:56] <Amoz> zainw, +1. Just see if /boot/grub is there etc
[12:56] <tomreyn> auronandace: yes i think you're right there. so how would i get gnome3 applets working in xfce4, if that's possible?
[12:56] <georgieee> My internal card reader (connected via internal USB) only works sometimes. Ubuntu recognizes it properly:
[12:56] <georgieee> "Bus 001 Device 007: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp. Flash Card Reader/Writer"
[12:56] <Amoz> zainw, I assume you checked BIOS settings, tried resetting it etc. ?
[12:56] <georgieee> The inbuilt bluetooth is working out of box and without problems.
[12:57] <georgieee> I tried to load "usb_storage" but it doesn't help. Seeing my card reader working is still just a matter of luck. Many other threads show me, that this is a main issue:
[12:57] <FloodBot1> georgieee: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:57] <auronandace> tomreyn: i doubt you can yet, xfce has yet to transition to gtk3 (the next xfce release 4.10 will be the last gtk2 release)
[12:57] <zainw> Amoz, sarcalson, the only thing that i can see there is what could poss be the /boot section as its only 255mb and thats it
[12:57] <georgieee> Can someone help?
[12:58] <tomreyn> thanks for explaning, auronandace
[12:58] <auronandace> tomreyn: no worries :)
[12:58] <zainw> Amoz, as for the bios, yeh done all that stuff, even rebuilt the raid last night just to me sure i wasnt being a complete pleb
[12:58] <Amoz> zainw, 255mb?
[12:58] <Amoz> possibly?
[12:59] <yun> join/
[12:59] <zainw> amoz, Yes, 255mb so guess its the /boot partition on the drive
[12:59] <Amoz> zainw, why don't you mount it and explore it when you're in the live session?
[12:59] <Amoz> zainw, where do you see this 255mb ?
[12:59] <sacarlson> Amoz: zainw: wouldn't we also see /home ; /var and a few other things?  like it didn't fully install or it puts that on another partition your not looking at
[13:00] <zainw> Amoz, its down in the "Devices" section when open up the home folder
[13:00] <Amoz> zainw, that's the live usb then?
[13:01] <Amoz> zainw, doesn't it find the partitions on disk then?
[13:01] <zainw> Amoz, well no, i dont think it is as there is a filesytem which when explored, its spins up the cd. I've used a CD rather than usb to boot from
[13:01] <zainw> Amoz, its looking that way yes
[13:01] <Amoz> zainw, oh
[13:02] <zainw> its all really  strange lol
[13:02] <Amoz> zainw, well in that case we need to find out why it doesn't sho
[13:02] <Amoz> w
[13:03] <User111> im trying to mount my time capsule in lubuntu, but my command that once worked, doesnt work now when i reinstalled ubuntu, any ideas?  command is "sudo mount.cifs //<IP_ADDRESS>/TIMECAPSULE/ /media/mounted -o pass=somepass"
[13:03] <sacarlson> zainw: amoz: so fdisk -l or whatever is later version won't even see any other disks?
[13:03] <zainw> Amoz, if that 255mb section is the /boot patition, shouldnt there be a grub list file on there or something?
[13:03] <Amoz> zainw, what you're exploring is the mounted cd
[13:03] <Amoz> zainw, most probably
[13:04] <klaus> !list
[13:04] <Amoz> zainw, can you pastebin sudo lshw -c disk ?
[13:05] <Amoz> zainw, that shows me my physical disk at least
[13:05] <klaus> !help
[13:05] <georgieee> does someone else have problems with card readers?
[13:05] <Amoz> maybe doesn't work for RAID systems, i dunno
[13:05] <Dave-Maydew> Have tried the Mouveau but does not work
[13:05] <georgieee> does ubuntu actually recognizes card readers?
[13:06] <zainw> Amoz, just looking for a terminal on the live... not used to this setup LOL
[13:06] <zainw> Im sorry, makes me sound like a right pleb
[13:06] <pfifo> georgieee, hardware support in linux can be hit or miss
[13:06] <Amoz> zainw, ctrl+alt+t
[13:06] <User111> well, actually i believe my command still works, cifs says its connected, but the folders doesnt show, any ideas?
[13:07] <sacarlson> georgieee: I have a cardreader that works on ubuntu,  but that doesn't mean they all work
[13:07] <zainw> oh wait got it
[13:07] <georgieee> sacarlson, which modules did you load in /etc/modules?
[13:08] <klaus> t
[13:08] <sacarlson> georgieee: it was plug and play,  I don't have any mem sticks to try to test it now
[13:08] <Dave-Maydew> is there actually a fix for the Nvidia GeForceFX cards in Ubuntu 11,04 and 11,10?
[13:08] <KM0201> whats wrong with them?
[13:08] <georgieee> hm... ok thx
[13:08] <zainw> Amoz, it sees everything there when i do that lshw command
[13:08] <zainw> what would you like to know
[13:09] <Amoz>  zainw that means the hardware is recognized
[13:09] <zainw> ah ok then
[13:09] <Dave-Maydew> Ubuntu 11.04 and 11,10 doesn't work with GeForce FX Cards
[13:09] <Amoz> zainw, now check lsblk
[13:09] <josef_> The Nvidia card works very well in Linux Mint but on Ubuntu 11.x problems with dual display
[13:09] <Amoz> zainw, that should list block devices orsomething
[13:10] <georgieee> My card reader is only working sometimes. If it worked it might be (for some reason) disabled the next time. It is connected via internal USB
[13:10] <georgieee> if somebody knows what this issue could be connected too I would be glad
[13:10] <zainw> Amoz, it does
[13:10] <Amoz> zainw, pastebin it for us to see
[13:10] <Dave-Maydew> I aint running Dual Display I have a Sony VGC-V2M all in one media PC
[13:10] <Amoz> zainw, that way we can see a lot more information
[13:10] <Dave-Maydew> So how do I get it running??
[13:11] <zainw> hang on then and let me come in from that box as im on another pc at present
[13:11] <sacarlson> georgieee: I have had some intermitent problems with some mem sticks but I thought it was a hardware problem,  sometimes after I clean the connectors on the sticks it seems to work
[13:12] <zainw> brb
[13:12] <MagusAgnus> guys, besides kleopatra, is there any program for managing crypto files?
[13:13] <MonkeyDust> MagusAgnus  seahorse, i guess
[13:13] <zainw> OK Guys im back, how do you want me to paste or what would you like me to paste?
[13:13] <sacarlson> amoz: zainw: now that he see's the partitions with lshw I guess he can mount and see what's in them?
[13:13] <bazhang> Dave-Maydew, whats the exact model
[13:13] <Amoz> sacarlson, should be possible
[13:14] <Amoz> sacarlson, we'll see if it really is the blockdevices on disk though
[13:14] <Amoz> could be just the cd
[13:14] <bazhang> sacarlson, you mean fdisk -l correct?
[13:14] <Amoz> thats why i want a pastebin
[13:14] <zainw> Amoz, how do you want that pastebin thingy?
[13:14] <sacarlson> bazhang: yes but lshw  returned what was needed for that
[13:15] <Amoz> zainw, pastebin the output from lsblk
[13:15] <Amoz> and from: ls /dev | grep sd
[13:16] <Amoz> !pastebin
[13:16] <Amoz> !pastebin | zainw
[13:17] <Sph3r3> Good Morning - is anyone awake?
[13:18] <bazhang> Sph3r3, ubuntu support issue?
[13:18] <sacarlson> Sph3r3: well it's getting later here so we will soon be going to sleep
[13:18] <zainw> Amoz, im sorry for asking and feeling really special here but how or what do i do to get the pastebin thingy
[13:18] <jnsl> im trying to reinstall grub from live cd i have mounted my root partition and chrooted it, now iam unsure what install_device i should feed grub-install
[13:18] <Amoz> !pastebin | zainw
[13:18] <Sph3r3> bazhang - yes.  installed IDLE on a new ubunutu install, when I go to save it says I don't have permission
[13:19] <zainw> oh just that?
[13:19] <sacarlson> zainw: sudo apt-get install pastbinit
[13:19] <Sph3r3> PyPe does the same thing
[13:19] <sacarlson> opps
[13:19] <Amoz> zainw, waa
[13:19] <Amoz> the bot isn't working
[13:19] <Amoz> paste.ubuntu.com
[13:19] <sacarlson> zainw: sudo apt-get install pastebinit  I think
[13:19] <Amoz> zainw, put it in there and link it here
[13:19] <bazhang> pastebinit is the package zainw
[13:19] <zainw> Lol im sorry for being such a noob with ubuntu LOL
[13:19] <Amoz> zainw, pastebin has nothing to do with ubuntu though
[13:19] <zainw> gotcha
[13:19] <user1> hi, i installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS but there is no gui, pls help me.
[13:20] <Amoz> user1, how did you install it, what version? computer?
[13:20] <sacarlson> bazhang: zainw: yes that one
[13:20] <Amoz> user1, the more you can tell us the better
[13:20] <luist_> hey guys.. i made my own repo, generated a Release.gpg from the Release file and on the client that im trying to use this repo, im getting a NO_PUBKEY error… what am i missing?
[13:21] <user1> i installed ubuntu 10.04 32 bit os in my laptop, but there is gnome (GUI)
[13:21] <Amoz> luist, you dont have a key for the repo
[13:21] <Amoz> user1, did everything finish as expected during the install?
[13:21] <Amoz> when you boot the computer, what happens ?
[13:21] <zainw> bazhang, it says that its unable to locate the package pastebinit
[13:21] <Amoz> zainw, nvm that
[13:21] <Dave-Maydew> Has anyone actually got Ubunu 11.+++ working with GeForce FX Cards??
[13:21] <user1> its coming only tty1
[13:22] <luist_> Amoz: what else should i do on the server side?
[13:22] <user1> like black screen
[13:22] <bazhang> Dave-Maydew, yes; whats the exact model
[13:22] <Amoz> luist, I don't know exactly but you need to have a public key for the repo I suppose
[13:22] <sacarlson> zainw: maybe sudo apt-get update ; first
[13:22] <Amoz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[13:22] <Amoz> zainw,
[13:22] <zainw> ok
[13:22] <Amoz> open it
[13:22] <Amoz> and paste the output from the commands there
[13:22] <FloodBot1> Amoz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:23] <Amoz> even FloodBot1 agrees =P
[13:23] <sacarlson> Amoz: I didn't know he had a gui, I thought he's working on a term zainw
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> FloodBot1  is merciless
[13:23] <Amoz> sacarlson, oh well it sounds like he has a live session running
[13:23] <Amoz> he was referring to the devices in nautilus
[13:23] <sacarlson> Amoz: ok
[13:24] <zainw> Amoz, its done
[13:24] <bazhang> Dave-Maydew, I've asked you for the exact model number twice now, care to inform the channel
[13:24] <Amoz> zainw, now give us the link
[13:24] <zainw> sacarlson, using a livecd here
[13:24] <user1> can i install ubuntu-desktop after installed my ubuntu 10.04??
[13:24] <zainw> Amoz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/861895/
[13:25] <Amoz> user1, did everything install as expected?
[13:25] <user1> yes Amoz
[13:25] <zainw> Amoz, sacarlson and dazhang, Thank you so much for your help while i think about it
[13:26] <Amoz> zainw, now paste lsblk as well
[13:26] <Amoz> and link us
[13:26] <zainw> Amoz, its at the bottom of that page
[13:26] <user1> Amoz, can u pls tell me how to get gnome (GUI)
[13:26] <Amoz> sry
[13:26] <zainw> no probs
[13:27] <zainw> just glab for the help
[13:27] <Amoz> user1, you used the desktop installer right?
[13:27] <user1> i installed server edition 10.04 LTS
[13:27] <Amoz> user1, why?
[13:27] <Amoz> user1, that one doesn't include a gui
[13:27] <Amoz> because it's for servers
[13:27] <bazhang> user1, sure you can install ubuntu-desktop on that
[13:28] <user1> then is it not included gui in 10.04 LTS
[13:28] <user1> ok,
[13:28] <jnsl> Help much appreciated, im on a live cd and i need to reinstall grub. I have my root partition mounted. if i do su -c grub and do find /boot/grub/stage1 it cant find anything...
[13:28] <Amoz> user1, not in the server edition
[13:28] <Amoz> user1, I'd recommend installing the desktop edition if you're gonna use it as a desktop/laptop
[13:28] <jnsl> i can locate stage1 on my root partition in /lala/boot/
[13:29] <Amoz> zainw, it recognizes the sda device
[13:29] <user1> Amoz, we can use this as a server, that y i installed 10.04 LTS
[13:29] <Amoz> user1, a laptop server?
[13:29] <Amoz> okay then
[13:29] <Amoz> user1, sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[13:29] <simone> ciao
[13:29] <user1> thnx Amoz its very useful thing.
[13:29] <Amoz> zainw, you can see the 232GB partition in the sda5 partition
[13:30] <zainw> Amoz, no mate, its not mounted
[13:30] <Amoz> zainw, are you sure you can't see it in nautilius?
[13:30] <Amoz> zainw, it's not mounted no
[13:30] <Amoz> but if you open nautilus, the filemanager
[13:30] <k1llj0y> how do u "ssh true" for xchat?
[13:30] <swaggi> BURR
[13:30] <swaggi> BURR
[13:30] <swaggi> BURR
[13:30] <FloodBot1> swaggi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:30] <Amoz> zainw, can't you see them under "devices" ?
[13:31] <k1llj0y> hello?
[13:31] <zainw> Amoz, nope
[13:31] <k1llj0y> uhm...
[13:31] <Amoz> zainw, then do the following
[13:31] <swaggi> k1llj0y: sup broz
[13:31] <k1llj0y> how do u ssh xchat?
[13:31] <zainw> ok
[13:31] <swaggi> SWAGGA
[13:31] <k1llj0y> hey swaggi
[13:32] <bazhang> k1llj0y, you mean ssl
[13:32] <bazhang> k1llj0y, #xchat
[13:32] <Amoz> zainw, in your homefolder mkdir tempmount
[13:32] <k1llj0y> thought it was ssh
[13:32] <k1llj0y> i should go to #xchat?
[13:32] <swaggi> k1llj0y: what are you trying to do exactly?
[13:32] <swaggi> Probably
[13:32] <Dave-Maydew> Sorry on the phone
[13:32] <zainw> Done
[13:32] <k1llj0y> just secure tunnel here
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> k1llj0y  you need X to use use Xchat = ssh -y remote-user@remote-ip "xchat"
[13:33] <Dave-Maydew> I am running GeForce FX5700
[13:33] <Amoz> zainw, then sudo mount /dev/sda5 ~/tempmoun
[13:33] <Amoz> zainw, should work
[13:33] <k1llj0y> brb
[13:33] <Testtube> Hi guys
[13:33] <bazhang> Dave-Maydew, thats quite an old card?
[13:33] <Amoz> zainw, also paste output from df -h please
[13:34] <krnekhelesh> Testtube: hi
[13:34] <Dave-Maydew> yup
[13:34] <k1llj0y> whats the diff between ssh and ssl?
[13:34] <zainw> Amoz, mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
[13:34] <Dave-Maydew> but works in 10.04 and 10.10 and Linux Mint
[13:34] <Amoz> oh
[13:34] <swaggi> k1llj0y: ssh is secure shell
[13:34] <k1llj0y> ssh for remote, but cant ssl do the same?
[13:34] <Amoz> zainw, could be LVM messing up things maybe
[13:34] <MonkeyDust> k1llj0y  ssh is a protocol, ssl is a security thingy
[13:34] <swaggi> k1llj0y: ssh is secure layer
[13:34] <Dave-Maydew> but I want to use Ubuntu
[13:35] <Amoz> zainw, but I suppose you need LVM?
[13:35] <k1llj0y> ah ok
[13:35] <zainw> Amoz, sorry that was the last type of guided i tried before throwing out the window
[13:35] <k1llj0y> ssl is not a protocol?
[13:35] <swaggi> no
[13:35] <swaggi> it's a security layer
[13:36] <Dave-Maydew> So is there a way of getting it to work??
[13:36] <k1llj0y> which would mean that ssh is more powerful...
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> ssl is used for emails, iirc
[13:36] <k1llj0y> right?
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> ssh is used for remote connections
[13:36] <swaggi> k1llj0y: ssh runs on ssl
[13:36] <bazhang> k1llj0y, this has nothing to do with ubuntu support
[13:36] <k1llj0y> sorry, lol
[13:36] <bazhang> ##security k1llj0y
[13:36] <swaggi> Hey come on guys
[13:36] <Amoz> SSL is a protocol
[13:36] <Amoz> http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer
[13:36] <Amoz> offtopic
[13:36] <bazhang> swaggi, ubuntu support issue?
[13:36] <k1llj0y> ty bazhang
[13:37] <k1llj0y> and swaggi
[13:37] <swaggi> ;D
[13:37] <swaggi> no problem k1llj0y
[13:37] <k1llj0y> ive been sick, brb...
[13:38] <Dave-Maydew> So Nvidia
[13:38] <Dave-Maydew> is it possible
[13:38] <Dave-Maydew> as I'm not the only one having these problems
[13:38] <zainw> Amoz, i think im gunna trash the current raid system, take out the 500gb drives and just try with the basics with a manual install of grub from the server cd
[13:39] <Amoz> zainw, that might be the best option
[13:40] <Amoz> zainw, or if you feel adventurous, try the raid but without LVM and manual partitioning
[13:40] <Amoz> or something like that
[13:40] <Amoz> have no idea why it would fail like this though
[13:40] <zainw> Amoz, cant thank you enough and every one else that has helped me out today
[13:40] <Amoz> zainw, good luck
[13:40] <zainw> Amoz, thats what i was going to do
[13:40] <DeeTah> does ubuntu installer back up the MBR before installing grub?
[13:40] <zainw> Thanks every one :)
[13:40] <theadmin> DeeTah: No, why would it?
[13:41] <allu2> Hello, can someone try to swich desktop in unity using ctrl+alt+up+left while on the down right desktop? does it work?
[13:41] <DeeTah> theadmin: in case I wanted to restore windows7 mbr without looking for the cd just to cast fixmbr
[13:41] <k1llj0y> back
[13:42] <theadmin> DeeTah: Oh... Nay, doesn't do that -- you'll have to use the CD. But then again, I think Windows Recovery Console is installable as an app in Windows, so you can run fixmbr without having to actually use the CD...
[13:42] <krnekhelesh> allu2: it works for me, although I must ask which version of unity are you running?
[13:42] <swaggi> DeeTah: no
[13:42] <DeeTah> theadmin: i can't find the app version
[13:42] <allu2> krnekhelesh: um the one with oneiric(?) i can't move that way, all other directions work but not that one :S
[13:42] <swaggi> DeeTah: which windows?
[13:42] <studente1> my ssh user, despite being a root group doesnt have full features like color and autocomplete
[13:43] <allu2> krnekhelesh: i can move first to left and then up, or first up and then left but not change directly by pressing both same time
[13:43] <sacarlson> DeeTah: I don't think grub backs it up for you but you could manualy backup the mbr with something like the dd command ,   man dd
[13:43] <allu2> krnekhelesh: this works tough from left up to down right
[13:43] <k1llj0y> ok #security is not responding
[13:43] <_johnny> hi, im trying to find a hex editor with binary support. can anyone recommend one? most of those which claim to have, only support viewing in hex/dec/oct (i wish to be able to see the binary representation of a byte) :)
[13:43] <k1llj0y> ##security i mean
[13:43] <krnekhelesh> allu2: hmm that's wierd. I also have that problem...
[13:44] <allu2> krnekhelesh: :S bug?
[13:44] <krnekhelesh> allu2: if I press up + left not simultaneously but quickly in succession then it works
[13:44] <krnekhelesh> allu2: yeah a bug I guess...and I am running Precise
[13:44] <allu2> krnekhelesh: i wonder if this has been reported
[13:45] <allu2> krnekhelesh: or maybe i'm only one paying attension to such minor things ^^
[13:45] <krnekhelesh> allu2: nice catch though :)...we want a pixel perfect precise!
[13:45] <allu2> :D
[13:45] <krnekhelesh> allu2: can you report a bug and provide the bug report link?
[13:45] <krnekhelesh> allu2: I'll mark it confirmed
[13:46] <HDroid> Is dualscreen / xinerama with current intel graphics (9xx) working reasonably well in Ubuntu nowadays?
[13:46] <Vert> Is there a package for the Android SDK?
[13:46] <allu2> krnekhelesh: ok, time to try ubuntu-bug for first time :P
[13:46] <krnekhelesh> allu2: try ubuntu-bug compiz
[13:46] <krnekhelesh> allu2: since it is related to compiz package
[13:46] <allu2> krnekhelesh: uh and i already put unity
[13:46] <allu2> going back..
[13:47] <krnekhelesh> that's ok
[13:47]  * allu2 needs to learn some patience..
[13:47] <krnekhelesh> I'll change the package for you
[13:47] <ironfroggy> I have had troubles the past few days with pulseaudio streams not producing anything. the pavucontrol monitors dont even show any activity in the playback. does anyone know what might cause this?
[13:47] <allu2> no need i managed to cancel it before ^^
[13:47] <krnekhelesh> oh o
[13:47] <krnekhelesh> ok
[13:47] <krnekhelesh> nice
[13:47] <Amoz> Vert, nope
[13:47] <Amoz> Vert, you have to install manually
[13:48] <Vert> Amoz: Thanks
[13:48] <Amoz> Vert, developer.android.com
[13:48] <Amoz> me thinkgs
[13:48] <kjs> uhm, how do I restart x windows on ubuntu, normally ctrl - alt - backspace works however this fails to restart on 11.04 which I am running from a USB pen, ideas?
[13:48] <Amoz> thinks*
[13:48] <ironfroggy> would it be harmful to uninstall and reinstall pulseaudio?
[13:48] <Amoz> kjs that was disabled a few version ago afaik
[13:49] <kjs> Amoz: so it would seem, there is no gdm service to restart either...
[13:49] <theadmin> kjs: alt-print-k
[13:49] <sacarlson> HDroid: I read a bit on xinerama but never seen it working,  I us quicksynergy instead to make two computers act as one big screen, but not as cool as xinerama would be
[13:49] <Vert> Amoz: Yeah, I was reading though the guide for manual install. I just wanted to check there wasn't an offical ubuntu package for it before I started downloading and building it myself.
[13:49] <Amoz> Vert, building?
[13:49] <kjs> theadmin: was that a joke?
[13:50] <Vert> Installing sorry.
[13:50] <theadmin> kjs: And, Oneiric uses lightdm instead of gdm
[13:50] <HDroid> sacarlson: hmm ok... I've been buying Nvidia for the last... couple of decades, guess I'll do that again to be sfe.
[13:50] <HDroid> safe
[13:50] <Amoz> kjs, you're on natty, 11.04?
[13:50] <theadmin> kjs: No... Alt-Printscreen-K is the shortcut to kill all apps in current TTY which successfully restarts X as well
[13:51] <Amoz> theadmin, oh I gotta tr *poof*
[13:51] <theadmin> Amoz: wut?
[13:51] <Amoz> theadmin, I gotta try that
[13:51] <Amoz> *poof*
[13:51] <sacarlson> HDroid: it seems the docs on xinerama I did see were old, hope it still working,  if it does I'd love to hear about it
[13:52] <MonkeyDust> !info xinerama
[13:53] <sacarlson> MonkeyDust: HDroid: seem from what I could tell xinerama had become a part of something else, but I didn't see any examples after it moved
[13:53] <bazhang> !xrandr
[13:57] <sveinse> I have a Natty system where I set eth0 to static in /etc/network/interfaces, yet NM takes over this IF and assigns an dhcp address. How can I disable NM temporarely from a boot-script (upstart script)?
[13:59] <User111> hi, i want to launch mirage with some commands when the computer boots, how do I do this?
[14:00] <compdoc> happy leap day
[14:00] <User111> i can launch it the way i cant from terminal, but when trying to lanuch it with rc.local nothing happens
[14:00] <MonkeyDust> User111  man mirage, read what options there are, make a command and put it in startup programs
[14:01] <User111> startup programs? im on lubuntu, there are no startup programs to my knowledge
[14:02] <Husel> Hey, I've just installed Ubuntu, and I'm wondering where is the normal place to install programs, like C:\ or C:\Program Files on Windows? Is it File System?
[14:02] <MonkeyDust> User111  didnt know you're on lubuntu, missed that part
[14:02] <User111> i have the command, i just need for it to run.. the command is..
[14:02] <User111> mirage -fsR /media/capsule/photoframe/rotation
[14:02] <MonkeyDust> Husel  /usr/bin/
[14:02] <bazhang> Husel, the package manager takes care of that
[14:02] <User111> i made a script and tried to run it via rc.local
[14:02] <User111> #!/bin/bash
[14:03] <User111> sleep 40
[14:03] <User111> mirage -fsR /media/capsule/photoframe/rotation
[14:03] <FloodBot1> User111: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:03] <swaggi> That's why straight up sysvinit sux. It's possible to do but sysvinit is so messy.
[14:04] <swaggi> That it confuses a peep
[14:04] <MonkeyDust> Husel  pragrams are installed in /usr/bin/ -- some config files may be stored in /home/your_user or in /hom/your_usr/.config
[14:04] <MonkeyDust> o*
[14:05] <sveinse> How can I from a upstart job disable start of another job (that haven't started yet)?
[14:05] <swaggi> Husel: *nix filesystem and windows file system are really different
[14:05] <swaggi> read man intro
[14:05] <User111> hm, so i cant launch mirage from rc.local? :(
[14:05] <Husel> okay, thanks :)
[14:05] <swaggi> open a term, type man intro, press enter
[14:06] <sacarlson> sveinse: does this work? http://www.adamish.com/blog/archives/315
[14:06] <Husel> also how can I get the taskbar to be at the bottom instead of the left?>
[14:06] <mdl4> exit
[14:06] <mdl4> lol whoops
[14:06] <MonkeyDust> great, mouse stops reacting :(
[14:07] <swaggi> Husel: depends on the deskop you use. try right clicking on it and toggling around.
[14:08] <sveinse> sacarlson: Perhaps, yet my static network has no dns-nameserver, so I'd be lying to eth0
[14:08] <godofwar> everytime i restart ubuntu 11.10 I would like all my open windows and applications to be remembered, any ideas?
[14:08] <MonkeyDust> godofwar  save session
[14:09] <godofwar> MonkeyDust: where do i save session?
[14:09] <sacarlson> sveinse: normaly the gateway acts as the dns so I'm not sure what your problem is
[14:09] <MonkeyDust> i'm looking in system settings
[14:09] <Trevor69420> bleh anyone here use NTOP
[14:10] <helo1> Hello everyone!
[14:10] <sveinse> sacarlson, I need to configure eth0 as a static network on a small LAN with no default GW nor DNS. It's a special recovery mode where NM is clobbering this setup
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> godofwar  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/gnome-session-save.1.html
[14:11] <theadmin> sveinse: Just uninstall networkmanager?
[14:11] <theadmin> sveinse: (or stop it from starting)
[14:11] <sacarlson> sveinse: ok if you don't need a dns just point to yourself even if it don't work I guess that should prevent nm from messing with it
[14:12] <sveinse> theadmin: How to stop it when it hasn't started yet?
[14:12] <MonkeyDust> sveinse  you mean: prevent it from starting
[14:12] <sacarlson> sveinse: you can just kill it after it starts, not sure how to prevent it
[14:12] <User111> when making a startup script for rc.local, do I need the full path to where the program is located, or will simply the name of the program do?
[14:12] <helo1> sveinse: simplest solution is probably removing the NM packages
[14:12] <swaggi> User111: use full
[14:12] <User111> ok
[14:12] <theadmin> sveinse: Stop it from starting at boot, i.e: sudo mv /etc/init/network*manager.conf /etc/init/networkmanager.conf.DISABLED # I honestly don't remember whether it's "networkmanager" or "network-manager" so I put that * in there
[14:13] <User111> hmm... where are programs usually stored? :D
[14:13] <helo1> theadmin: I think it's with the -
[14:13] <Trevor69420> user11 depends
[14:13] <swaggi> User111: echo $PATH
[14:13] <theadmin> User111: "which progname" will tell you the fullpath to progname
[14:13] <swaggi> there
[14:13] <helo1> &@ sveinse
[14:13] <Trevor69420> whatever $PATH is
[14:13] <Trevor69420> usually bin i think
[14:13] <theadmin> helo1: I dunno, I didn't use networkmanager in a long time now
[14:13] <sveinse> I have an upstart job which runs very early (prior to rc/runlevel and prior to network). It decides two modes: recovery mode or application mode. NM must start in app mode, but it clobbers the static network in recovery mode.
[14:14] <sveinse> The core of the problem is that upstart has already decided to start nm, so renaming the /etc/init/network-manager.conf file has no effect
[14:14] <User111> well that didnt tell me much, but im reasonably sure the program i want is in usr/bin
[14:15] <helo1> sveinse: rename the .conf file at shut down. Then start the service with a script IF you boot into app mode
[14:16] <theadmin> User111: "which progname" will tell you the full path to "progname".
[14:16] <sveinse> I cannot control NM config as this config is controlled by networkmanager's packages, which ubuntu policy manual prohibits me to touch other packages configs
[14:16] <theadmin> User111: e.g: which firefox # returns /usr/bin/firefox
[14:16] <User111> yes thanks, i understood it now :)
[14:16] <kapz> hello there! I want to play movie files from my one ubuntu PC on another one connected via router through LAN cable...I open the location via ftp with login in nautilus and double click the file(to be opened with smplayer) but nothing happens, it just stay sblank
[14:16] <User111> its in usr/bin
[14:16] <User111> thanks
[14:16] <Trevor69420> kapz try VLC
[14:16] <helo1> sveinse: May I ask why you need NM in app mode?
[14:16] <sacarlson> sveinse: I just run a script to put my system into static mode with something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/861956/
[14:17] <theadmin> kapz: smplayer is pretty cool, but I don't think it works with remote filesystems
[14:17] <User111> time to reboot and try stuff
[14:17] <swaggi> mplayer does
[14:17] <sveinse> helo1: We use it to control wifi and general user network setup
[14:17] <Trevor69420> just not very well
[14:18] <Trevor69420> to be honest the VLC streaming option might be best
[14:18] <theadmin> kapz: Actually, try "Open URL" in smplayer (ctrl-u)
[14:18] <Halexander9000> Hey, if I wanted to record my screen, what program would I use?
[14:18] <sveinse> sacarlson: Yes, I tried that. But doing service network-manager stop has no effect, as upstart haven't started network-manager yet. But it's about to.
[14:18] <sacarlson> sveinse: after I complete my static operation I just put it back to dhcp mode with sudo dhclient eth0
[14:19] <helo1> sveinse: sacarlson's pasted script above looks like it does the trick of stopping the NM service (which you can do after booting into recovery) and then sets the static IP. Run the script later in the boot process to avoid that issue
[14:19] <sacarlson> sveinse: or add a delay in the script to make sure that network manager is already started to stop it
[14:19] <swaggi> Halexander9000: ffmpeg
[14:20] <kapz> Trevor69420, same thing happens with vlc
[14:20] <Trevor69420> kapz try VLC in streaming mode
[14:20] <Trevor69420> dont try via FTP number one
[14:20] <Trevor69420> maybe through SMTP
[14:20] <Trevor69420> errrr SAMBA rather sorry
[14:20] <Trevor69420> lol
[14:20] <swaggi> you could try sshfs
[14:20] <Trevor69420> SMTP is mail
[14:20] <Trevor69420> haha
[14:20] <FloodBot1> Trevor69420: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:20] <Halexander9000> swaggi: Problem is, X11grab isn't working.
[14:21] <sveinse> AFAIK upstart makes a decision tree on which services to start, so upstart has already decided to start NM when my script is run. And I cannot delay anything, as upstart wont start network until my script is done. (start on starting network)
[14:22] <Halexander9000> swaggi: Unknown input format: 'x11grab'
[14:22] <sacarlson> sveinse: you can put the script in cron as @reboot  and add a delay there
[14:23] <sveinse> Cron isn't running yet. cron starts on runlevel [2345] so that's too late
[14:23] <fusiform___gyrus> hey :)
[14:23] <Trevor69420> kapz ur best bet is to set up a media streaming server
[14:23] <sacarlson> sveinse: or get dirty and just edit the script that starts network-manager
[14:23] <User111> ah it didnt work. there is simply not way to auto launch this program
[14:23] <User111> *no
[14:23] <Trevor69420> i've tried accessing videos over LAN via FTP and SMB and both are pretty glitchy to be honest
[14:23] <Halexander9000> Ffmpeg's X11 grab is not working. Can someone please help me?
[14:23] <fusiform___gyrus> can someone help me on pm about wifi bug...
[14:24] <User111> how do i turn off screensaver permanently?
[14:24] <theadmin> fusiform___gyrus: You don't ask for help in PM, you ask in the channel
[14:24] <Steevca> Is there like an irc chanell about all linux distros?
[14:24] <fusiform___gyrus> ok
[14:24] <theadmin> Steevca: #linux
[14:24] <Trevor69420> kapz: try these steps: http://n00tz.net/2008/07/vlc-media-server-ubuntu-hardy/
[14:24] <Trevor69420> Steevca: #linux
[14:24] <Trevor69420> oops
[14:24] <Trevor69420> yay what he said
[14:24] <Steevca> theadmin,Trevor69420 Thanks.
[14:24] <User111> nvm, dumb question
[14:25] <sacarlson> sveinse: too late?  how critical could time be at boot?  so it take 15 secounds longer to have a static address at boot. is that so bad?
[14:25] <Trevor69420> 15 seconds?
[14:25] <Trevor69420> A WHOLE 15 SECONDS... NOOOOOOO
[14:26] <Halexander9000> Ffmpeg's X11grab is not working. " Unknown input format: 'x11grab' ". Can someone please help me?
[14:26] <helo1> sveinse: yeah I don't follow why it is too late either. you need it to be late.
[14:26] <sacarlson> Trevor69420: that's just a random number I picked as a delay,  if you want to wait 60 seconds be my guest
[14:26] <theadmin> Halexander9000: You don't have to repeat yourself this often, wait till someone who knows comes here... Repeating once every 15 minutes or so is okay, but not every minute ;)
[14:26] <User111> is there an autostart folder or similar in the X gui environment?
[14:27] <theadmin> User111: ~/.config/autostart/
[14:27] <Trevor69420> i was kidding sacarlson
[14:27] <sacarlson> Trevor69420: no problem
[14:27] <User111> "direcotry not vaild" and i cant find it anywhere
[14:28] <User111> its like i have half a ubuntu installation
[14:28] <User111> lots of stuff is missing
[14:28] <Trevor69420> i've been trying to figure out for the life of me how to get NTOP to monitor two interfaces at once
[14:28] <Trevor69420> this is CRAZY
[14:28] <sveinse> sacarlson: When rc/runlevel is set, then all of the user services start which is the "app mode". The recovery mode decision script is set to run before rc and before network is up. That is important for other reasons
[14:28] <theadmin> User111: You know, the errors you give make me think you're not running Ubuntu, or infact, any Linux distro... they're *weird*
[14:28] <anders__> I've trouble with installing Miramath. Can anybody help me?
[14:28] <User111> im running a default lubuntu 11..somethingsomething
[14:28] <theadmin> User111: I see, huh.
[14:29] <Trevor69420> lol that was helpful
[14:29] <theadmin> User111: So, when you "cd ~/.config/autostart" nothing happens?
[14:29] <User111> it was the only ubuntu version that can run on my ancient laptop
[14:29] <Trevor69420> User111 no it isnt
[14:29] <helo1> I have an annoying issue with my wlan I was hoping someone could help with. My wireless randomly starts working (sometimes it will work for a week, sometimes less than a half hour). I will be connected using it just fine, and the connection will abruptly drop. I can still see networks in range, but any attempt to connect will result in it asking for the password over and over even though I know it is right. A reboot always fixes the
[14:29] <Trevor69420> Ubuntu Server would also run ;-)
[14:29] <theadmin> User111: Ah wait, so you're using LXDE -- try ~/.config/openbox/autostart/
[14:29] <User111> ill try
[14:30] <sacarlson> sveinse: I'm getting stuck then, is editing the network-manager script out then also?
[14:30] <helo1> randomly stops lol ***
[14:30] <T_H_X> Trevor69420: use cacti instead
[14:30] <sveinse> sacarlson: I could, yet violating the ubuntu package policy manual
[14:30] <Halexander9000> Ffmpeg's X11grab is not working. " Unknown input format: 'x11grab' ". Can someone please help me?
[14:30] <Trevor69420> T_H_X i love NTOP i had it monitoring two interfaces before but cant figure out where in the conf to add the other one
[14:30] <User111> openbox it is
[14:30] <Trevor69420> i have it only monitoring WAN (which is most important)
[14:31] <Trevor69420> LAN is useful to have tho so i can see which machines are using the most bandwidth every month
[14:31] <User111> now, how to use that openbox thingy to launch a program?
[14:32] <theadmin> User111: Simply put "command &" for each program in that file
[14:32] <T_H_X> Trevor69420: edit /var/lib/ntop/init.cfg
[14:32] <Husel> so do I just extract the whole folder for the program I've downloaded to usr/bin?
[14:32] <T_H_X> add more interfaces there
[14:32] <bazhang> Husel, what package
[14:33] <Trevor69420> T_H_X thanks i know where the config file is but where to declare the additional NIC is beyond me
[14:33] <Husel> not sure, I downloaded from the website, klogic
[14:33] <T_H_X> INTERFACES="eth0 eth1"
[14:33] <Husel> it's in a tar.gz
[14:33] <theadmin> Husel: DON'T extract anything to system folders (apart from maybe /opt), usually a bad idea
[14:33] <MonkeyDust> Husel  in ubuntu, most often, you download from the repos, not from a website
[14:33] <bazhang> Husel, got a link
[14:33] <theadmin> Husel: Unpack that archive (anywhere) and look for files called "README" or "INSTALL", read them.
[14:34] <Husel> ah okay, thanks guys :)
[14:34] <mbeierl_> helo1, I've had that issue before, but it turned out to be the wireless router was dying.  Sorry I can't be of help from the client side of things
[14:34] <ubi_> hello
[14:35] <ubi_> pls, how can i uninstall ubuntu
[14:35] <spike_> connect shadowfire
[14:35] <ubi_> it is installed on hard drive alongside my windows xp
[14:35] <konza> ubi_, install any other os in the same partition
[14:35] <mbeierl_> ubi_, install another operating system over top of it
[14:35] <bazhang> ubi_, was it a wubi install?
[14:35] <Ho^Oh> ubi_: You simply erase the partitions containing Ubuntu.
[14:35] <MonkeyDust> ubi_  delete the partition is one way
[14:36] <Ho^Oh> ubi_: Wait, how exactly is Ubuntu installed?       Inside windows using "Wubi"?
[14:36] <ubi_> but i cant see that partition in windows xp, i have only C
[14:36] <ubi_> it is installed usinng usb flash drive
[14:36] <MonkeyDust> ubi_  use a live cd, windows cannot see linux partitions
[14:36] <Black> Yes
[14:36] <konza> ubi_, dude use a partition manager
[14:36] <Ho^Oh> ubi_: You do not get linux partitions, you can only see a partition the partition inside Window's Disk Manager.
[14:36] <ubi_> ahaa thx
[14:36] <helo1> mbeierl_: thanks for the feedback, but this occurs in many different locations (totally randomly). I've had it occur while at many different client offices as well as my own office and home.
[14:36] <konza> ubi_, Windows can not see ext3/4 partitions
[14:36] <ultrixx> hi everyone
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> windows cannot see anything not-windows :p
[14:37] <ubi_> i will delete it and reinstall ubuntu cause i fucked up installation first time
[14:37] <ubi_> thx all
[14:37] <konza> MonkeyDust, :)
[14:37] <bazhang> ubi_, no cursing here
[14:37] <ubi_> oh sory
[14:38] <Ho^Oh> How can I resolve this issue, I am trying to "Browse files" inside my Bluetooth device, whenever I try to do so, I get this message: Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name :1.2799 was not provided by any .service files Please select another viewer and try again.
[14:38] <Ho^Oh> The bluetooth icon nolonger appears in my unity notification bar.
[14:38] <Black> It hapns on 11.10 nly!
[14:39] <anjar_95> Can noone help me with Miramath?
[14:40] <Ho^Oh> anjar_95: What are you trying to do with "Miramath" exactly? We can not help if we do not have details relating to your issue.
[14:40] <anjar_95> Hi. I'm trying to install it
[14:40] <Ho^Oh> What version of Ubuntu?
[14:40] <anjar_95> Natty
[14:41] <starn> how do i get "this connection is untrusted. would you like to continue anyway"  says the vertificate is self signed for google and facebook in empathy.
[14:41] <Sph3r3> \join
[14:42] <biopyte> hi. how can i remove an application launcher icon from the gnome panel?
[14:42] <Ho^Oh> starn: You must've visited an httpS:// webpage...
[14:42] <anjar_95> There is a one-file installer, but it doesn't work!
[14:43] <biopyte> alt + right click  ... gives only "launch" and "properties"
[14:43] <Ho^Oh> anjar_95: Error message regarding that?
[14:43] <Ho^Oh> Saying "it dun work" is not useful information.
[14:43] <starn> Ho^Oh: i have https enabled for facebook.. and no matter how i type google's address it automatically takes me to https
[14:43] <Visual`> someone hase knowlegdes with 11.10 server and openldap ?
[14:43] <Visual`> -e
[14:45] <anjar_95> No
[14:45] <sveinse> sacarlson: I think I've got it. My early-boot script was start on (filesystem and starting network). By using start on (filesystem and starting network-manager) I can affect NM the way I want!
[14:45] <sveinse> sacarlson: Thanks for your inputs at least
[14:45] <pfifo> starn, google is all https by default
[14:45] <sacarlson> sveinse: very good,  hope I didn't add more confusion than help
[14:45] <Chipzzz> starn: i just did a google search & the cert was signed by Thawte
[14:46] <anjar_95> Just a minute
[14:46] <starn> Chipzzz: is that why empathy gives me that everytime i connect to facebook and google chat?  pfifo: ok. i kinda figured so.
[14:46] <Ho^Oh> biopyte: Try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/91445/how-do-i-remove-an-icon-from-the-top-panel-in-gnome-fallback-mode
[14:47] <Ho^Oh> pfifo: Not default in my browsers. One of them  being google chrome...
[14:47] <anjar_95> Cannot open self ./miramath or archive ./miramath.pkg
[14:47] <Chipzzz> dunno, i'd be surprised if google's certs are self-signed
[14:47] <anjar_95> It's made by PyInstaller
[14:48] <jayesh> can anyone tell me whether ubuntu can be directly installed on a usb drive
[14:48] <Ho^Oh> biopyte: SUPER(dumb windows key) + ALT + Right click.
[14:48] <kapz> theadmin, VLC gives the output: http://pastebin.com/4PYSJpDf
[14:48] <xangua> !usb | jayesh
[14:48] <pfifo> Ho^Oh, thats odd, Its impossible for me to google unencrypted even http://www.google.com:80 still redirects me to the https counterpart
[14:48] <hardc0de> How can I read local software documentations, which are installed but never used
[14:48] <theadmin> kapz: Needs the password...
[14:49] <Chipzzz> starn: you could try to traceroute the server & see if it looks right
[14:49] <biopyte> Ho^Oh: thanks it worked ... Gnome guys made a mess ... I'm pi....d
[14:49] <kapz> theadmin, it does not ask for a password
[14:49] <theadmin> kapz: Doesn't mean it doesn't need it
[14:50] <sacarlson> pfifo: what country is that?
[14:50] <kapz> theadmin, I meant to ask where do I put the password?
[14:50] <theadmin> kapz: You likely can't use protected streams with it
[14:50] <pfifo> sacarlson, unied states
[14:50] <theadmin> kapz: Though you can try it in the form of<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[14:50] <Ho^Oh> pfifo: Untied states? :P
[14:50] <pfifo> yes
[14:50] <kapz> theadmin, oh ok...will give it a try and see what happens...thanks anyway. :)
[14:50] <powl> hi
[14:51] <sacarlson> pfifo: in thailand it redirects also but defaults to http, I can choose https://google.com  and it will connect with no errors here
[14:51] <starn> i'm in the united states
[14:51] <biopyte> anybody using the e17 desktop ? what do you think?
[14:51] <Ho^Oh> kapz: It's not good practice to put that in URL bar. Could try that in "incognito mode/privacy mode/etc" so website visiting history doesn't display the FTP with password you've gone to.
[14:51] <Ho^Oh> biopyte: I'm not using it. I'm on Unity.
[14:52] <theadmin> biopyte: It's not bad at all, but kind of difficult to handle, I like openbox more :D
[14:52] <theadmin> Ho^Oh: kapz is trying that in a media player, not a web browser
[14:52] <biopyte> i'm looking for a gnome alternative ...
[14:52] <theadmin> Ho^Oh: Needs to stream from FTP :/
[14:52] <theadmin> biopyte: Try Xfce
[14:52] <Ho^Oh> Oh I see.
[14:52] <kapz> Ho^Oh, it's internal network...will it still affect it?
[14:53] <Ho^Oh> biopyte: I prefer LXDE over XFCE.
[14:53] <biopyte> i dont want to spend to much time with this issue
[14:53] <DerFlash> I've some OpenGL problem here. maybe someone can help? I'm running ubuntu 11.10 in virtual box on a mac with 3D accel activated. glxinfo seems ok, glxgears works fine. but when I try to capture the openGL window with glc-capture I get: "OpenGL Error: Failed to get size for 0x……..(glXSwapBuffers)" I've tracked down the error to the virtual box additions fakedri_drv.c but still don't know how to fix it:
[14:53] <DerFlash> http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Additions/common/crOpenGL/fakedri_drv.c
[14:53] <biopyte> ok
[14:53] <biopyte> xfce i tried ... its ok
[14:53] <Ho^Oh> kapz: I thought you was using that in a web browser, my bad.
[14:53] <biopyte> what about kde ....for me it was always too bloated ... but maybe things changed
[14:54] <theadmin> biopyte: It's the same :D
[14:54] <biopyte> haha
[14:54] <Ho^Oh> biopyte: For one, it's fast on the hardware I'm on.
[14:54] <theadmin> biopyte: Well... a nice alternative is LXDE, well, you can also try to build some custom desktop like openbox + lxpanel + dmenu, for example.
[14:54] <biopyte> openbox  ... thats a desktop? ..sounds more like a WM
[14:55] <DerFlash> maybe someone can really understand the fakedri_drv.c call that's failing and provide some idea?! please? :-)
[14:55] <Ho^Oh> biopyte: When I speak about fast, I speak in terms of having no problems when multitasking.
[14:55] <biopyte> yeah ... i check lxde
[14:55] <biopyte> ok
[14:55] <wcchandler> is 12.04 beta 1 the same as today's daily build?
[14:55] <Ho^Oh> DerFlash: Visit #Vbox
[14:55] <biopyte> i DEFINITELY need a virtual desktop with 3x3 workspaces
[14:55] <DerFlash> k, I'll try. thx
[14:56] <Husel> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIRS     does this KDE come with Ubuntu or do I need to install it, and if not, where can I find the directory?
[14:56] <biopyte> theadmin Ho^0h : thx
[14:56] <Ho^Oh> Husel: There exists Kubuntu, which is basically the KDE version of the standard regular Gnome flavored Ubuntu.
[14:57] <Husel> Ho^0h: is there a way to do it on the standard one, since it's installed now :)
[14:57] <biopyte> KDE ... never liked it ... but looks pretty straight now
[14:58] <pfifo> Husel, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[14:58] <Husel> thanks :)
[14:58] <Ho^Oh> Husel: Do you want KDE, or KDE without many default programs?
[14:58] <Husel> without the programs, I think the program I'm installing just needs to use some of its files
[15:00] <Ho^Oh> Husel:  sudo apt-get install kdebase-workspace
[15:00] <Husel> thank you :)
[15:00] <Ho^Oh> Husel: Be sure to make sure it's not going to give you text editor and such. (I've only used this command on Linuxmint, but I believe this should do as well)
[15:01] <dedicated1> I am trying to figure out what ports that are used at this moment but I have no clue how to scan for them, anyone that can help me with that? I need to know the ports to set up my ufw firewall
[15:02] <pfifo> dedicated1, the 'nmap' command is suitable for that task
[15:03] <Ho^Oh> How can I resolve this issue, I am trying to "Browse files" inside my Bluetooth device, whenever I try to do so, I get this message: Could not display "obex://[00:33:42:46:52:30]/".  Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name :1.2799 was not provided by any .service files Please select another viewer and try again.
[15:03] <sheepz> is there a way to make the "Connect to server" use the home directory
[15:03] <zainw> Amoz, back again :)
[15:03] <sheepz> instead of the root directory
[15:03] <sheepz> for ssh
[15:03] <dedicated1> pfifo: nmap localhost would be the right command?
[15:04] <dedicated1> ohh nmap not installed O_o
[15:04] <pfifo> dedicated1, nmap is an incredibly complicated program, and I do not remember the exact command, youll have to check google or the manual
[15:04] <timex> booty
[15:04] <theadmin> sheepz: username@server:dir is the syntax (you can leave out the username, so "server:dir", e.g. "ssh.example.org:~"
[15:05] <zainw> any onwe know if Amoz or sacarlson is around? just want to give em an update from the problem i had before that they helped with
[15:05] <pfifo> zainw, im intrested
[15:06] <kalimojo> anyone heard about the raspberry pi ?
[15:06] <sacarlson> zainw: it works now?
[15:06] <bazhang> kalimojo, its offtopic here
[15:06] <subthalamus> !seen Amoz
[15:06] <sheepz> theadmin: I mean the nautilus plugin or whatever
[15:06] <bazhang> kalimojo, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:06] <pfifo> pi comes in different flavors now? I want some cherry pi!
[15:06] <sheepz> where I can browse it in nautilus
[15:06] <zainw> hi pfifo, hey sacarlson. I ripped the raids apart, swapped the drives around and left out the 2 x 250gb
[15:06] <theadmin> sheepz: Likely the same, just put it in like that while connecting. Or maybe add the actual directory to bookmarks
[15:07] <sheepz> theadmin: ssh program unexpectedly exited
[15:07] <zainw> went to install server again but did manual partition and all is good
[15:07] <magicJ> kalimojo: i have a raspberry
[15:07] <bazhang> magicJ, feel free to discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:07] <sheepz> and if I put the folder as "~"
[15:07] <sheepz> it says it cannot be opened on the target host
[15:07] <subthalamus> ubottu: seen Amoz
[15:07] <sacarlson> zainw: cool and this time lvm or extX?
[15:08] <zainw> sacarlson, I now have a fully running and self booting 11.10 thanks to you guys help before
[15:08] <zainw> sacarlson, i've left as ext4
[15:08] <sacarlson> zainw: ok that might be all it was the lvm thing
[15:09] <sacarlson> zainw: sometime in fixing things you break them with more problems than when you started
[15:09] <zainw> sacarlson, I had tried ext4 before and it didnt work. Im still wondering if the installer was putting the files on the wrong drive for some reason as its works fine with only the 1 drive defined in the raid card
[15:09] <pfifo> zainw, you were using lvm? thats why it wasnt working
[15:09] <zainw> pfifo, it didnt matter what i tried, it just wouldnt work
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> magicJ: how well does ubuntu run on it :)
[15:10] <pfifo> zainw, lvm is softraid
[15:10] <Ho^Oh> ATM, I'm using LVM + LUKS.
[15:10] <Ho^Oh> And my machine is still fast.
[15:10] <zainw> pfifo, lvm worked fine with CentOS 6.2 but not with Ubuntu
[15:11] <Ho^Oh> zainw: What's the problem regarding it?
[15:11] <sacarlson> pfifo: I think lvm can be used with or without raid or luks but it's another layer of complication for me
[15:11] <theadmin> sheepz: Meh just mount it as sshfs
[15:11] <pfifo> sacarlson, theres little reason to put a softraid on a hardraid.
[15:11] <lahwran> how do I find how many inodes my filesystem has?
[15:12] <pfifo> lahwran, `df -i`
[15:12] <sacarlson> pfifo: oh I agree no need for that
[15:12] <Ho^Oh> lahwran: Try: df --inodes / /home
[15:12] <lahwran> pfifo: thanks
[15:12] <zainw> Ho^oh, installing server, no matter what drive setup (guided, non guided, lvm or ext) i used, the server wouldnt boot in to anything and kept saying that the drives werent bootable but with Amoz and sacarlsons help before, is all good now
[15:13] <ivan__> hey guys! Could anybody help, I lost sound after mute and unmute
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> ivan__: run:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*    then wait a few seconds and try some sound stuff
[15:14] <ivan__> tnx, let me try
[15:14] <X3l3r0n> hi, all
[15:15] <Ho^Oh> ivan__: sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload
[15:16] <Ho^Oh> ivan__: Actually, you will remember this command better: sudo alsa force-reload
[15:17] <ivan__> well i tried both waht you said and what ActionParsnip said
[15:17] <ivan__> didnt work
[15:17] <godofwar> does anyone know what the next patch of updates will release for Ubuntu 11.10?
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> ivan__: does a reboot help?
[15:17] <ivan__> no
[15:17] <Ho^Oh> ivan__: Did my solution helped?
[15:17] <ubi_> hi, me again :P
[15:17] <Ho^Oh> ubi_: WB.
[15:18] <helo1> I have an annoying issue with my wlan I was hoping someone could help with. My wireless randomly stops working (sometimes it will work for a week, sometimes less than a half hour). I will be connected using it just fine, and the connection will abruptly drop. I can still see networks in range, but any attempt to connect will result in it asking for the password over and over even though I know it is right. A reboot always fixes the
[15:18] <dedicated1> anyone has some more suggestions on how to find ports used by programs? I want to scan them so I can add them to ufw
[15:18] <Ho^Oh> helo1: Change your network name, or change the wifi channel your router/wifi box uses.
[15:18] <ubi_> i have partition magic 8.0 but it can't manage linux partitions, can someone recomend some that can
[15:18] <helo1> dedicated: disable the fw and run a nmap scan.
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> helo1: can you pastebin the output of:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a     Thanks
[15:19] <ivan__> Ho^Oh, no it restarts alsa but still no sound
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> ubi_: clonezilla
[15:19] <ubi_> TY
[15:19] <helo1> Ho^Oh: The issue occurs on every network, at work, at clients, at home. All channels, various AP hardware
[15:19] <pfifo> dedicated1, maybe stop all non-target programs, and then run netstat, and then get the target programs to try and connect
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> ubi_: if you used ext3, you can use partimage from the repos :)
[15:19] <dedicated1> helo1: I am trying that but I can't figure out how nmap works it looks damn complicated sorry
[15:19] <LjL> dedicated1: netstat will tell you, "netstat -l" will tell you about ports programs are listening on
[15:19] <ubi_> ty
[15:19] <Oer> ubi_, gparted live cd can. > http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[15:20] <dedicated1> thank you all
[15:20] <Amoz> sacarlson, looks like zainw got his problem solved
[15:20] <helo1> dedicated1: nmap -v -sP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx
[15:20] <ubi_> my nert book dont have cd drive
[15:20] <ubi_> netbook*
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> ubi_: you can make a live USB of it
[15:20] <sacarlson> Amoz: yup
[15:20] <Amoz> nice
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> ubi_: the stuf the gparted CD does can be achieved on the ubuntu cd
[15:20] <ubi_> i will try with clonezilla first
[15:20] <kapz> it just doesnt work...grrrrrr...vlc says Network interaction failed:
[15:20] <kapz> VLC could not connect with the given server.Your input can't be opened...but network is fine and I can browse through nautilus.
[15:21] <ubi_> tyty
[15:21] <helo1> dedicated1: do you have an Android phone?
[15:21] <kapz> any help is appreciated, thanks
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> kapz: is it a samba shared folder you are connecting to?
[15:21] <dedicated1> helo1: yes
[15:21] <dedicated1> helo1: why? :)
[15:22] <helo1> dedicated1: there is a really nice app called fling. It does port scanning very easily and does a good job displaying results. Give that a try.
[15:22] <dedicated1> ahh ok ty
[15:22] <kapz> ActionParsnip, actually I am trying to play a movie from another ubuntu PC connected via LAN cable...I can open the folder via nautilus through ftp but as mentioned above, I can't with VLC
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: there is a gui for nmap too afaik
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> kapz: so the ubuntu PC is running an FTP service?
[15:23] <Ho^Oh> dedicated1: lsof -i:portNumberHere
[15:23] <ivan__> ActionParsnip, could you please tell me how to reinstall pulseaudio, all I find in google is how to UNinstall it
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> kapz: tried accessing it via the ~/.gvfs folder?
[15:23] <pavolzetor> hi, are there any restrictions of using colours and logos from ubuntu and canoniucal?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> ivan__: its in a default install....
[15:23] <pavolzetor> I would like to make school presentation
[15:23] <LucidGuy> I rsync a filesystem from one host to another.  The source is 8.4TB in size and the destination ended up being 13TB.  I definitly have the delete option in place.  Could the 4.6TB be all sparse?
[15:23] <dedicated1> netstat -l worked but I cannot find irc/empathy in there so maybe nmap is better for the job?
[15:23] <llutz> dedicated1: sudo lsof -i
[15:23] <kapz> ActionParsnip, I can ftp through nautilus so I gues it should be running it...shouldn't it? or xinetd takes care of it...i dont know exactly but I can login via ftp on that machine using nautilus
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> ivan__: install pulseaudio package and it should be ok
[15:24] <Ho^Oh> llutz: Oh right! With root.         sudo lsof -i:portNumberHere
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> kapz: tries gnome-mplayer ?
[15:24] <dfcnvt> Morning, I need help regarding to the selection of file/program. (ex: don't open *.txt with pdf program... reset that)
[15:24] <ivan__> thank you
[15:24] <pfifo> dedicated1, netstat -l lists ONLY listening ports, drop the -l
[15:24] <dedicated1> llutz: zomg worked like a charm :D ty ^^
[15:24] <kapz> ActionParsnip, no but I tried smplayer which uses mplayer2
[15:24] <dfcnvt> Almost all different type of file opened with a wrong program.
[15:24] <kapz> it stays blank
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> kapz: are you using KDE?
[15:25] <kapz> ActionParsnip, Unbuntu 11.10 with gnome-shell
[15:25] <pavolzetor> nobody?
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> kapz: then why didn't you install gnome-mplayer. smplayer is based on Qt so will have haulted in a tonne of KDE stuff to make it run...
[15:26] <llutz> ActionParsnip: qt-stuff, not kde
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> kapz: seems like an odd choice
[15:26] <Ho^Oh> pavolzetor: Use libreOffice impress
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> llutz: it makes my point :)
[15:26] <kapz> ActionParsnip, but it does the same with vlc
[15:26] <Oer> pavolzetor, yes, see >>> http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/
[15:27] <pavolzetor> thanks guys
[15:27] <pavolzetor> I just wanted to know if it is legal or not
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> kapz: try accessing the share via the ~/.gvfs folder
[15:29] <Trevor69420> kapz are you still trying to watch videos over a network share?
[15:29] <kapz> Trevor69420, yep stil struggling with it
[15:29] <chris_> Hey all, I'm trying to use update-alternatives to pick up x11 cursors.... But it's not finding them even though they're in /etc/X11. Is there a way to force it to pick the one I want?
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> kapz: tried a different sharing technology...
[15:30] <pfifo> kapz, anyreason your using ftp? nfs allows me to watch movies stored on the local network, works like a charm too
[15:30] <ZeloZelos> chris_, you can edit the default.theme for the mouse
[15:30] <chrisgeorge> Hrm. Thanks ZeloZelos, I'll give that a try
[15:31] <night_> hi
[15:31] <night_> how can i join ubuntu-cn channel
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> kapz: or samba :)
[15:31] <kapz> ActionParsnip, pfifo : I am using ftp because it's fast and installed on my system....I have not tried another protocol cox I don't know any other way
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> night_: type:   /join #ubuntu-cn
[15:31] <jnsl> Anyone have time to help me get my computer running? grub is messed up
[15:31] <night_> ActionParsnip, thx
[15:31] <Trevor69420> FTP is sloooooowww
[15:31] <Trevor69420> SAMBA is ALOT better
[15:32] <kapz> then...what should I use?
[15:32] <Trevor69420> at least over LAN
[15:32] <chrisgeorge> ZeloZelos: Where is that located? I don't see it in /etc/X11/cursors
[15:32] <Trevor69420> u should be using VLC media streaming Katz to be honest
[15:32] <ZeloZelos> jnsl there is a grub rescue page on ubuntu's site just follow that its pretty easy
[15:32] <Trevor69420> cuz you're trying to stream videos
[15:32] <Trevor69420> not just play them over a network share
[15:32] <pfifo> kapz, use cifs if you want to share to windows as well, or nfs between 2 unicies
[15:32] <Trevor69420> u get alot better performance streaming with VLC
[15:33] <jnsl> ZeloZelos http://pastebin.com/P0XFidzX
[15:33] <Trevor69420> streaming will transfer at a lower bitrate katz
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> Trevor69420: http://forums.neurostechnology.com/index.php?topic=9263.0    not that much different really
[15:33] <Trevor69420> ActionParsnip, yea thats true too
[15:33] <pfifo> Trevor69420, assuming the remote machine can handle realtime transcoding
[15:33] <night_> so many people
[15:33] <kapz> it's between two unices....but nfs was slow and kind of buggy in my experience...I even asked for help in this channel regarding it, but didn't get satisfactory ans so I installed ftp and I could share files without any hiccups!
[15:33] <ZeloZelos> chrisgeorge, umm i forgot :\
[15:34] <Trevor69420> pfifo only if he has to transcode
[15:34] <Trevor69420> if he's streaming with VLC to VLC he wont need to transcode
[15:34] <pfifo> Trevor69420, to get a lower bitrate, one has to transcode
[15:34] <Trevor69420> not if the source is already at a low bitrate
[15:34] <ranger_mcfrendly> Hi
[15:34] <ZeloZelos> chrisgeorge, i set up a shortcut a long time ago n im not in linux right now..ill start vb if you ll wait

[15:36] <Halexander9000> I wish compiling had a progress bar.
[15:37] <kapz> bahhhh.....sigh another futile attempt.. this streaming stuff sucks. NOT Easy. :| I better carry that hdd.

[15:37] <uictamale> i'll take pepperoni please
[15:37] <Trevor69420> i cnt eat pizza
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: it can if you add calls to notify-osd in your make file (if it supports it), you could have lots of mini make files with a batch script to compile and extra lines to output stuff :)
[15:38] <Trevor69420> seriously one remark deserves him an !ot
[15:39] <night_> Trevor69420, why did you can't eat pizza??
[15:39] <mneptok> Trevor69420: considering Myrtti reminded everyone about offtopic chat less than a minute earlier, yes. Myrtti reminded you, too.

[16:03] <TUX11> i shut down

[16:04] <L3top_> from a package
[16:04] <theadmin> L3top_: Search for a PPA
[16:04] <Canadian1296> I need to edit /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/* but even as root I get "fsync failed" when I try to save my changes (in vi)
[16:04] <pfifo> TUX11, dont forget, checking a filesystem while its mounted will destroy it

[16:04] <theadmin> Canadian1296: You can't edit stuff under /proc
[16:05] <theadmin> Canadian1296: ...As far as I know, at least
[16:05] <TUX11> cuz i usually just shut down from the start menu and its ok

[16:06] <theadmin> !pm | newer
[16:07] <pfifo> Canadian1296, you want to echo -n 1 > /proc/path/to/node
[16:07] <TUX11> grrr brb im guna try a manual mount lol
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> pfifo: that'll need a sudo some place
[16:07] <Ho^Oh> newer: PUSH ctrl+alt+T     to open up a commandline/terminal window. Then you type in the above command. (Or open terminal from Ubuntu's app menu).
[16:07] <Canadian1296> pfifo: I tried echo, but what does the -n do?
[16:08] <llutz> Canadian1296:  echo 0 |sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/send_redirects (same for accept_redirect)
[16:08] <pfifo> ActionParsnip, sudo and echo do not mix, Canadian1296 sudo -s first to become root
[16:08] <M4dH4TT3r> cannot find sandbox server = network error?
[16:08] <theadmin> pfifo: Not -s, -i
[16:08] <pfifo> Canadian1296, -n omits the newline
[16:08] <pfifo> theadmin, i use -s
[16:08] <theadmin> !wfm | pfifo
[16:08] <Canadian1296> pfifo: Alright ill give it a try
[16:09] <pfifo> theadmin, -s will work for you and him as well ^^
[16:09] <theadmin> pfifo: It messes the system up though, doesn't set up the environment properly
[16:09] <M4dH4TT3r> quick question - cannot find sandbox server = network error?
[16:09] <Canadian1296> Ive always used -s. what should I be using?
[16:10] <pfifo> Canadian1296, research both -s and -i and determin for yourself which best suits your needs
[16:10] <Canadian1296> pfifo: Alright
[16:11] <newer> I am sorry, what is pm?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> newer: private message
[16:11] <newer> thanks
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> pfifo: well, they do, you just need to pipe to sudo tee ;)
[16:13] <M4dH4TT3r> quick question - cannot find sandbox server = network error?
[16:13] <pfifo> ActionParsnip, lol, sure sudo and tee get along great :)
[16:13] <Canadian1296> pfifo theadmin llutz: I got it, thanks :)
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> pfifo: exactly, so:  echo "text" | sudo tee /etc/whatever/file   will work :)
[16:14] <llutz> Canadian1296: to make that permanent, change the values in /etc/sysctl.conf
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> llutz: could just add to the sysctl.conf file and run:  sudo sysctl -p
[16:15] <newer> sudo apt-get install pidgin
[16:15] <newer>   The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[16:15] <newer>    pidgin : Depends: perlapi-5.10.1
[16:15] <newer>             Recommends: pidgin-libnotify but it is not going to be installed
[16:15] <pfifo> ActionParsnip, for me that would always end up being sudo  echo "text" | sudo tee /etc/whatever/file because ill first try and fail at plain  echo "text" > /etc/whatever/file
[16:15] <FloodBot1> newer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:15] <llutz> ActionParsnip: thats the way to go
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> llutz: bit easier :)
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> pfifo: of  tee -a   if you want to add to the file, tee will make the named file only contain the text you pipe :)
[16:16] <theadmin> I wonder. "echo" is apparently a bash built-in, but who stops you from creating /bin/echo or something which would just echo all the arguments? That'd let you use "sudo echo".
[16:17] <theadmin> Crazy ways of doing simple things xD
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: could make a script I guess, that would take the text and the file to manipulate
[16:17] <llutz> theadmin: "$ which echo" -> /bin/echo
[16:18] <pfifo> I thought echo started out as a real program before bash was mainline

[16:19] <TUX11> ok guys no quiet sure whats wrong, ive hard wired it into the PC and the check comesback ok
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> ubsrv: i believe the quota uses the owner of the files
[16:19] <TUX11> but when its connected to the usb it wont mount
[16:19] <TUX11> could this be due to python which i installed testerday
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> I found newer's issue
[16:19] <pfifo> ubsrv, so long as root doesnt have to obey a quota, there shouldnt be any issues

[16:24] <gartral> googled*
[16:24] <theadmin> gartral: Any chance of wrong architecture?
[16:24] <gartral> theadmin: negative. 32 bit game, 32 bit OS
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> !find libmss.so
[16:25] <gartral> ActionParsnip: it's a closed source library.
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> gartral: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc

[16:28] <pfifo> gartral, create a symbolic link for libmss.so.6 to the directory the executable is in
[16:28] <theadmin> sun_devil: cd path to change current folder to "path"
[16:29] <theadmin> sun_devil: Also, you can't install RPMs on Ubuntu (not in a sane way anyhow :P)
[16:29] <gartral> ActionParsnip: that's a very freaking annoying dependency for a sound library.. but worth a shot
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> gartral: it will install the lib as its a dep of the dev package
[16:30] <smiley_> I have a system with 48 disks...ubuntu only sees up to /dev/sdag (disk #31) any ideas about where I need to look in order to get the OS to see at 48?

[16:30] <sun_devil> theadmin, Yes, I have a Ubuntu, but the RPM is in another puter in Centos.  Thanks, I finally got into the directory
[16:31] <pfifo> gmachine_24, add nox to the kernel line
[16:31] <theadmin> pfifo: That'd be "text", "nox" sounds like something from Gentoo
[16:31] <gartral> ActionParsnip: Did not help.
[16:31] <theadmin> gmachine_24: "text" at the end of kernel line
[16:31] <gartral> pfifo: I don't understand... put the dynamic link where?
[16:32] <gmachine_24> theadmin I imagine this was left out by design?
[16:32] <theadmin> gmachine_24: What was?
[16:32] <gartral> theadmin: changed too absolute path, no fix
[16:33] <theadmin> gartral: Hmmeh. I dunno >.> I had a similar problem, no idea what to do with it
[16:33] <pfifo> gartral, in the directory the executable is in, thats the first place programs look for shared libraries

[16:34] <theadmin> gmachine_24: Well, duh, I mean... why would you want to boot into console by default?

[16:35] <Seryth> theadmin: o/
[16:35] <azertyu> may be i got an genius question
[16:36] <azertyu> let me try if i got answer
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> gartral: could use apt-file to find the file you need, it will tell you the package
[16:36] <rob-bob> what files are loaded when i sudo -i, apparently not /root/.bashrc or /root/.profile, anyone know where I need to ad shell scripts to be loaded when i switch to root user with sudo -i ?
[16:37] <gartral> pfifo: libmss.so.6 => not found. it's the *only* one not found
[16:37] <azertyu> well i got text file
[16:37] <azertyu> when i do cat text.file it display several lines
[16:37] <pfifo> gartral, copy all libmss.a and libmss.so files you have to that directory and try again
[16:37] <gartral> ActionParsnip: apt-file: command not found
[16:38] <azertyu> i simply would like to color each line into different color
[16:38] <azertyu> what i have to do ?
[16:38] <azertyu> for a better visibility i simply would like to color each lines into different color when i m doing cat text.file
[16:39] <gartral> pfifo: did so: libmss.so.6 => not found still
[16:39] <MonkeyDust> azertyu  you mean in bash?
[16:39] <azertyu> can we use case in graphical mode ?
[16:39] <azertyu> cat
[16:39] <Chipzzz> rob-bob: have you tried "sudo -u root -i" ?
[16:39] <pfifo> gartral, can you pastebin the output of `ls -la libmss*`
[16:40] <azertyu> MonkeyDust: ?
[16:40] <gartral> pfifo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/862132/
[16:41] <MonkeyDust> azertyu  where do you want colored lines?
[16:41] <ratcheer> smiley_: Interesting question. I can't find anything specific, but I would think it would be controlled by sysctl. I'm still looking.
[16:41] <gartral> pfifo: before you call me an idiot: that nasty little chain link wasn't me.. that's how it was packaged
[16:41] <azertyu> when you cat text.file from a terminal every line want to color it into different color
[16:41] <pfifo> gartral, thats standard... can you pastebin the output of `file libmss.so.6.5.2`
[16:42] <azertyu> do you get my questioN ? MonkeyDust
[16:42] <gartral> pfifo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/862136/
[16:42] <MonkeyDust> azertyu  cat does not have that option
[16:43] <pfifo> gartral, where did you get this file originally?
[16:43] <azertyu> what command we need to use ?
[16:43] <gartral> pfifo: Game's install cd.
[16:44] <bentech4you> how to get system full report .like redhat's sysreport or like Sun explorer output
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> gartral: it needs installing...
[16:44] <azertyu> in the same way of cat what command to use to color each line ?MonkeyDust
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> azertyu  you can write a bash script and use color variables
[16:44] <pfifo> gartral, can you `ldd libmss.so.6.5.2` and see if its missing any libs
[16:44] <gartral> ActionParsnip: how would I go about doing that manually?
[16:44] <klawd> hI!
[16:45] <klawd> i have ubuntu on my whole drive. now i want to install windows
[16:45] <klawd> can i resize my partition?
[16:45] <azertyu> i don't know how to
[16:45] <gartral> pfifo: No.
[16:45] <gartral> pfifo: No. it is not missing anything?
[16:45] <gartral> er .*
[16:45] <MonkeyDust> klawd  widows will ruin your grub -- first win, then lin is the golden rule
[16:45] <pfifo> gartral, no its not missing libs or no ldd failed
[16:45] <bentech4you> is there any way to get system report including full hardware.?
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> gartral: sudo apt-get install apt-file      would be the obvious and correct way
[16:45] <gartral> pfifo: All Dependicies appear satisfied.
[16:46] <klawd> MonkeyDust: too late for that unfortunately
[16:46] <klawd> ill handle the grub.. i just need to resize the partition
[16:46] <gpm> on 11.10, my wifi passphrase is NOT remembered though i have set it to auto-connect and available to all users. i have to enter it manually each time. is there a fix/workaround? just upgraded packages and sad to still see this bug.
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> klawd  you will to repair the grub menu after you installed windows
[16:46] <gartral> MonkeyDust: you can, in an emergency, boot from a live cd and re-install grub into /dev/sda..
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> have to*
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> gartral  not easy for a beginner
[16:47] <timex> ll
[16:48] <gartral> ActionParsnip: I thought you referring to my libmss issue as that library needing too be installed
[16:48] <pfifo> gartral, try adding 'LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/my/libmss.so.6.5.2'  at the beginning of the line in the startup script that actually runs nvmain
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> gartral: you can use apt-file to see what package gives the .so file and install it
[16:49] <ldiamond> how do I change the user under which a service runs?
[16:49] <kim_> #ubuntu-indonesia @irc.freenode.net
[16:50] <gartral> ActionParsnip: That is a futile task as libmss is Miles Sound System, which is entirely closed source and only distributed through their SDK too closed-source developers, who thn compile it into their games.
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> gartral: do you have the .so file?
[16:52] <gartral> ActionParsnip: Yes...
[16:53] <gartral> pfifo: Ok.. now i'm beginning too get really annoyed.. STILL can't load the darn lib
[16:54] <pfifo> gartral, is there a libmss.a anywhere?
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> gartral: then put it in /usr/lib
[16:54] <gartral> pfifo: negative
[16:55] <sun_devil> How can I find out if a epel repository has been added to Yum?
[16:55] <Pici> sun_devil: Ubuntu doesn't use yum.
[16:55] <Chipzzz> Pici: it's in the repos
[16:56] <Pici> Chipzzz: That doesn't mean that we use it for anything.
[16:56] <gartral> pfifo ActionParsnip -THUD- well that fixes THAT. now I get a segfault
[16:56] <Chipzzz> lol
[16:56] <sun_devil> I know its a centos
[16:56] <ubi> hi again
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> sun_devil: then ask in the centos channel, this is ubuntu support
[16:56] <Pici> sun_devil: Then you should be asking in their channel. not #ubuntu
[16:57] <ubi> im looking for some linux partition manager that runs under windows XP
[16:57] <starn> hey anyone in here know how to split the audio to play through speakers as well as headphones but only certain audio sources? eg Teamspeak goes to headphones rest of the audio through speakers?
[16:57] <Pici> ubi: That would a more appropriate question for ##windows
[16:57] <senayar> ext4 is not recognized by windows
[16:57] <senayar> you can't
[16:57] <klawd> ubi: why not use gparted live?
[16:57] <sun_devil> do you know a good channel for centos,  I tried #centos  ?
[16:57] <ubi> gparted, i+ll try thanx
[16:58] <urfr332gO> ubi, you can use gparted as a bootable partitioner.
[16:58] <pfifo> gartral, ohh well, thats odd. so its found now? but your getting a segfault running the startup script?
[16:58] <Pici> sun_devil: You need to be registered to join there.
[16:58] <Pici> !register | sun_devil
[16:58] <gartral> pfifo: both start-up script and directly calling nwmain..
[16:58] <ubi> is gparted simple to use
[16:58] <guddya> hi
[16:58] <geekbri> can apparmor.d files be named anything you want, or do they have to be named for the path to the binary they are working with
[16:58] <pfifo> gartral, did you remove the LD_PRELOAD
[16:59] <gartral> pfifo: no..
[16:59] <User111> how do i hide the mouse cursor?
[16:59] <urfr332gO> ubi, depends on your definition of simple, is to me. :)
[16:59] <guddya> anyone tell me how to set proxy server in ubunt
[16:59] <pfifo> gartral, do it, LD_PRELOAD is a hack
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> sun_devil: http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=8
[16:59] <guddya> tell mi how to set up proxy server in ubuntu
[16:59] <ubi> does gparted have graphic slider like partition magic
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> guddya: http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/02/how-to-use-apt-get-behind-proxy-server-ubuntudebian.html
[16:59] <gartral> pfifo: still segfaulting
[17:00] <urfr332gO> ubi, yes basically it has sliders.
[17:00] <pfifo> ubi, gparted is almost identical to partition magic
[17:00] <ubi> ok thanx lol
[17:00] <sun_devil> Ok thanks
[17:00] <ubi> i go try it
[17:00] <guddya> ?
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> guddya: what?
[17:01] <T_H_X> guddya: System Settings > Network > Network Proxy
[17:01] <pfifo> gartral, well I could debug a segfault, but it wont help cause theres no way to fix it, youll have to file a bug report with the games maker and hope they fix it
[17:01] <starn> i managed to make sound come out both headphones and speakers at the same time but how do i split an application to come out of selected connections. eg music to speakers and VoIP to headphones? i'm using ALSA i believe. device HDA Intel ALC1200
[17:01] <dedicated1> hi there, I am trying to auth myself on Quakenet with Empathy but adding my password to the account settings doesn't work and when I auth manually I get "Failed to open private chat". Anyone here that can help me with that? any help is welcome :)
