[19:39] <edbian> redmenace: I suggest setting the ipod to MSC mode instead of MTP mode.  This will make it so that hte ipod is treated as a jump drive and you can transfer music easily.
[19:40] <edbian> TYDIRocks: sudo lspci -k    This will list a lot of stuff. I need to know what driver and modules are listed for the wifi card.  You should be able to find it by looking for bcm4311
[19:40] <pfred1> edbian I know the wireless works because i rebooted the live CD without the net cable then setup my wireless same as I did before and it works
[19:40] <CyPh3R> a noob question if I may..? im new to ubuntu
[19:40] <edbian> TYDIRocks: You can also pastebin it if you want: paste.ubuntu.com
[19:40] <guntbert> tarelerulz: no easy way, you'd have to know iptables pretty well
[19:40] <K-Rich> i am soooo irked with my kid.
[19:40] <tenchi21> anyone here ever turn a linux box into a media server to feed multiple display monitors ? think like how bestbuy/walmart/etc have multiple screens playing the same thing. But I want to it using shuffle
[19:41] <edbian> pfred1: In the newer nm-applet you can be connecting to wired and wireless at the same time and then when one dies the other takes over.
[19:41] <guntbert> !ot | K-Rich
[19:41] <edbian> pfred1: You need to use 10.10 or 11.04 to get this feature
[19:41] <edbian> pfred1: I'm not sure it's in 10.10 though
[19:41] <tjiggi_fo> CyPh3R, just ask
[19:41] <pfred1> edbian that would be nice but I am interested in LTS too
[19:41] <K-Rich> got her that tablet, let her check it out, and she friggin dropped it and cracked the screen!
[19:41] <CyPh3R> i know it will sound stupid but how the hell do I install Mesa 7.11 in ubuntu 11.04?
[19:41] <oCean> K-Rich: stop that, this is support channel
[19:41] <edbian> pfred1: I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too :)
[19:42] <edbian> K-Rich: How old is she?
[19:42] <edbian> oCean: sorry
[19:42] <pfred1> edbian this is Linux i can bake my own cake
[19:42] <edbian> pfred1: Then go grab the source for the newest nm-applet and install it on 10.04
[19:42] <K-Rich> i could sooooo almost kill her
[19:42] <oCean> K-Rich: last warning, stop
[19:43] <raven> virtualbox: i just mirrored a partition (sda1) to a vdi file - how to append the necessary things to use it in vbox (mbr.....)?

[19:43] <TYDIRocks> edbian, paste.ubuntu.com/665961
[19:43] <edbian> TYDIRocks: reading...
[19:43] <pfred1> edbian but thanks now at least i won't keep on looking for a feature that hasn't been implemented on this version
[19:43] <TYDIRocks> daserfost, I'm habing edbian help me :)
[19:43] <guntbert> raven: please ask in #vbox for virtualbox support
[19:44] <edbian> TYDIRocks: see wl and ssb there?
[19:44] <edbian> pfred1: sure
[19:44] <TYDIRocks> edbian, which line? :P
[19:44] <Braber01> how do I add a key combo in easy Stroke?
[19:44] <edbian> TYDIRocks: ~line 66
[19:44] <Prajwal> Matriux Krypton released http://www.matriux.com/index.php?page=download
[19:44] <edbian> TYDIRocks: this is 11.04 right?
[19:45] <pfred1> edbian I know there is an old way to change the default route but i rarely mess with networking stuff
[19:45] <TYDIRocks> edbian, correct
[19:45] <TYDIRocks> edbian, okay I see wlan
[19:45] <edbian> TYDIRocks: :)
[19:45] <oCean> Prajwal: don't paste that here
[19:45] <edbian> TYDIRocks: sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source
[19:45] <Prajwal> oCean: just spreading the linux spirit
[19:45] <oCean> Prajwal: don't do it here again
[19:46] <edbian> TYDIRocks: sudo apt-get purge broadcom-sta-source
[19:47] <pfred1> Prajwal what is this?
[19:47] <edbian> TYDIRocks: then run the command again (sudo lspci -k) and see if wl and ssb are still listed or not
[19:47] <Braber01> Hi I'm having Trouble adding the Alt+F4 Keycombo in easystroke can somebody give me some tips?
[19:47] <oCean> pfred1: it is offtopic, drop it
[19:47] <Prajwal> a linux distribution for penetration testers
[19:47] <oCean> Prajwal: stop now
[19:47] <pfred1> oCean well I saw it in the channel so that made it topical
[19:47] <oCean> pfred1: no, wrong. Read the /topic of this channel.
[19:47] <TYDIRocks> edbian, should it be around the same line?
[19:48] <edbian> TYDIRocks: yes (the exact same probably) it's near the bottom.
[19:48] <Prajwal> oCean: fine
[19:48] <pfred1> oCean i guess I'm just a victim
[19:48] <Prajwal> thats not a spam
[19:49] <TYDIRocks> edbian, the kernel modules says ssb
[19:49] <edbian> TYDIRocks: but wl is now gone?
[19:50] <edbian> TYDIRocks: because it said 'wl, ssb' before remember?
[19:50] <TYDIRocks> edbian, yeah wl is gone
[19:50] <edbian> TYDIRocks: reboot   (to test it)
[19:50] <edbian> TYDIRocks: ssb is used with b43 (I don't understand how or why so don't ask me)
[19:51] <TYDIRocks> edbian, alright lol. Restarting
[19:53] <TYDIRocks> edbian, connect to wifi :D
[19:53] <edbian> TYDIRocks: awesome
[19:53] <edbian> TYDIRocks: \o/
[19:54] <TYDIRocks> edbian, if I got another distro, like Backtrack 5, would I need to do this again?
[19:54] <Iamnigs> hello
[19:54] <edbian> TYDIRocks: I have no idea what backtrack 5 will do.  I can say some distros will require something like this, some won't.  Likely none will be the exact same commands / steps
[19:55] <edbian> TYDIRocks: But there are probably many that won't distribute the firmware (which was the problem here).
[19:55] <TYDIRocks> edbian, hmm alright, thanks. You always know what too do :D
[19:55] <edbian> TYDIRocks: all distros do the hardware driver guessing game (That's part of the linux kernel)
[19:55] <edbian> TYDIRocks: haha, I'm good with wifi cards.
[19:55] <TYDIRocks> edbian, heh, I can tell
[19:56] <edbian> TYDIRocks: :)
[19:56] <pfred1> a lot seem to get Linux confused with distributions
[19:56] <TYDIRocks> edbian, well, I can't think of anything else I need help with right now
[19:56] <edbian> TYDIRocks: good :)  Have good day
[19:57] <TYDIRocks> edbian, you too, I'll hollar if I need you :p
[19:57] <Augustuen> I have a friend that selected Home directory encryption on his Ubuntu server, now he has forgotten his password and changed it, how does he get it decrypted?
[19:57] <edbian> Augustuen: He does not.  This is the point of encryption
[19:57] <Augustuen> so unless he remembers his old password the files are gone?
[19:58] <rypervenche> Augustuen: Correct.
[19:58] <guntbert> Augustuen: when he enabled encryption he was told to record the encryption passphrase and store it in a safe place, he can use that
[19:59] <Augustuen> does he choose his own passphrase?
[19:59] <pfred1> guntbert that is what postit notes are for stuck to the sides of systems
[19:59] <guntbert> Augustuen: now, it is a random string

[20:10] <yubahaq> i do
[20:11] <n00bie> guntbert, I have a question regarding ubuntu support.  Can you help me?
[20:11] <qin> alaing: locate service_name may help

[20:13] <eFfeM> hi, is it possible to configure 11.04 with gnome2 so it keeps the desktop (including apps) during reboot? I've used opensuse before and there the apps that were open when shutting down would be restarted on the next boot, but can't manage to get this on 11.04
[20:13] <ubuntini21> does anybody know how i can add a button in libreoffice calc  in the table which added +1 if somebody clicked on it?

[20:15] <n00bie> Hi, All, I just installed ubuntu and when starting it up, i get some errors pertaining to "update bios or force. . ." and ". . ./cryptswap not ready" I'm not entirely sure the entire message bc it goes by so fast, but can someone help to eliminate these errors?
[20:16] <szal> hmm..  is it just me, or is the kerning of the Ubuntu font a tad bit illogical? - if you have that font in your IRC client, see e.g. this word concatenation -> ent-Tumbleweed-ifiziert <- notice how the first dash kerns into the t, but the u doesn't kern into the T
[20:18] <alaing> qin i dont think it was locate. from what i hear it showed you the config file that was loaded in for that sevice
[20:19] <FFForever> How can I add windows and a grub menu selection during boot?
[20:19] <GOMI> dual screen , how do i go about it in ubuntu 11.04
[20:20] <lngndvs_> join #berkeleylug
[20:20] <yeats> alaing: *sometimes* 'ps' will show the config file if it's part of the service invocation - but not always
[20:21] <GOMI> should i use twinview or is theire someting more simple to it ?
[20:22] <GreenWolf> use bootloader
[20:24] <szal> FFForever: a Windows entry should have been added to the Grub automatically
[20:28] <polarityman> ok im a little further on for some reason doing dhclient -r eth0, dhclient eth0 got me to the stage where i can ping the router, which is odd as the syslog shows the original lease was negotitated from the gateway anyway. but now pinging outside the local network results in "connect: Network is unreachable".  Any ideas

[20:30] <vanga> ubottu, thank you
[20:31] <polarityman> Nighthwk, do you have any other generic header files, perhaps different versions? you might be able to symlink to them, are you compiling something? this sounds like an error when gcc or ld cant find .h files
[20:31] <Nighthwk> I trying to run vbox
[20:31] <Nighthwk> and when i do the setup it give me this error
[20:31] <yeats> Nighthwk: you're trying to add the guest additions?
[20:32] <oCean> Nighthwk: this installs the header files for you current kernel:   sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[20:32] <yeats> Nighthwk: is it an Ubuntu guest?
[20:32] <guntbert> Nighthwk: did you reboot since you upgraded the kernel the last time?

[20:34] <urlin2u> Nighthwk, what is the release, that kernels looks like end of life release.
[20:34] <Guest10264> Basically blue appears green, green appears red etc
[20:34] <Nighthwk> urlin2u I'm not sure
[20:34] <ityler15> edbian: what is it?
[20:35] <willwh> Guest10264: you're running your irc client as root - not a good idea
[20:35] <edbian> ityler15: remove the packages for or blacklist the modules which are loading instead of b43
[20:35] <edbian> ityler15: Do you know how to do that?
[20:35] <urlin2u> Nighthwk, this is in virtual box?
[20:36] <oCean> Nighthwk: it's 10.10 (maverick, right?) So you probably have to update the kernel first, I think there's a slightly newer version
[20:36] <ityler15> sorta, i used to have ubuntu but then i switched back to windows, now im back into ubuntu
[20:36] <oCean> !info linux-image-generic maverick
[20:36] <urlin2u> Nighthwk, open system monitor and click the far left tab for the release.
[20:36] <ityler15> edbian: whats the file location?
[20:36] <edbian> ityler15: well you can get the driver names using sudo lspci -k   look under your card.  If you need help then pastebin the results and I'll look too, paste.ubuntu.com
[20:36] <edbian> ityler15: the file location of what?
[20:36] <Nighthwk> 4.1.4
[20:36] <polarityman> ok so eventually got wired access working via ip route add default via <IP_ADDRESS>. Im sure last time i used ubuntu this all autodetected fine wonder what went wrong this time
[20:36] <yeats> polarityman: try 'sudo route add default gw <ip-address-for-gateway> eth0 (or whatever interface you're using)
[20:37] <polarityman> now to dive into wifi :D
[20:37] <Nighthwk> 2.6.35-22

[20:53] <urlin2u> saladin1980, just posting the requisite warning, that is what mine is W7 pro, ;)
[20:53] <edbian> ityler15: sudo apt-get purge firmware-b43legacy-installer   (let's just get rid of it)
[20:53] <Polah> saladin1980: I believe it IS possible to have a running copy of Windows from a USB drive, but it would require some hackery to make it work.
[20:54] <Quark1536> Can someone please help me to get my Ethernet and wireless working on my laptop?
[20:54] <urlin2u> Polah, it is easy a ntfs partition a boot flag and extract to it.
[20:54] <urlin2u> Polah, XP much harder. ;)
[20:54] <saladin1980> urlin2u , polah i am just tring to make it a install win 7 from the usb
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> Quark1536: can you give a pastebin of:  lspci | grep -i network
[20:55] <ityler15> edbian: finally no error ;)
[20:55] <Polah> urlin2u: Really? I'm sure there was some funky configuration that needed to be done so Windows wouldn't poop its pants when the USB bus disappears for a moment when something else is plugged it
[20:55] <edbian> ityler15: sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source and sudo apt-get purge broadcom-sta-source
[20:56] <Polah> saladin1980: Oh, if you want to install Windows from USB then that's easier. I thought you wanted an actual running operating system. Either way, #windows could probably help you more.
[20:56] <|Slacker|> ActionParsnip: sorry dude, but I didn't get it :(
[20:56] <urlin2u> Polah, always has worked for me actually the multisystem multi iso usb loader will do it as well.
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> |Slacker|: look around the system, it will have a make and model on a sticker some please
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> *place
[20:56] <Quark1536> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/665998/
[20:56] <saladin1980> polah , urlin2u i will be back if they can't help bc there prolly not linux:) and i am in linux doing this:) LOL
[20:57] <Polah> saladin1980: Yeah, but they can tell you how it should be set up and then you can come back here and we can tell you how to make it so
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> Quark1536: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1721229   nice PPA to install the driver for you :)
[20:57] <urlin2u> saladin1980, the multisystem usb loader and the ntfs as described will work, or at least have every time I have done it.
[20:58] <ityler15> edbian: http://paste.ubuntu.com/666000/
[20:58] <Quark1536> ActionParsnip, Thank you!
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> |Slacker|: try:  sudo dmidecode -t 1
[20:58] <urlin2u> saladin1980, there is a windows usb loader if you can get to a windows set up as admin as well.
[20:58] <saladin1980> yea just tring to make it so can install windows from the usb not run it;)   (urlin2u, polah)
[20:58] <urlin2u> saladin1980, duh I know that.
[20:58] <edbian> ityler15: you should now see that sudo lspci -k   no longer lists the wl driver
[20:59] <jnsl_> how can i uninstall samba on ubuntu? i can find a lot of guides on how to install, but none on how to uninstall it :)
[20:59] <BlueWolf> Hi all :D
[20:59] <Trond--> I have bought a new computer which I will install Win7 to. Then I reboot with Ubuntu 11.04 in CD-rom which I will install, but how do I select where to install Ubuntu?
[20:59] <saladin1980> just making sure :)  and well no one is on the windows channel is talking ARG  (urlin2u , polah)
[20:59] <ikonia> jnsl_: open the package manager, find samba, click remove
[20:59] <urlin2u> saladin1980, the ntfs is throwing you of it is not a install but a load for install.
[20:59] <urlin2u> off
[20:59] <jnsl_> ikonia i need to do it on my server
[20:59] <Polah> saladin1980: Yeah, they're a lot slower over there
[20:59] <ikonia> Trond--: it will ask you in the install process
[20:59] <ikonia> jnsl_: ok, so it on your server
[20:59] <jnsl_> ikonia i dont have a gui :(
[21:00] <ikonia> jnsl_: use the command line
[21:00] <saladin1980> ohh i understand the ntfs:)   IT person but i am lost to the a point i have done all i can do with this lil pos computer and well it won't do much anymore:) LOL
[21:00] <BlueWolf> How would I go about burning a movie to a DVD, and enable it to work on a DVD player?
[21:00] <ikonia> jnsl_: or install a gui
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> jnsl_: sudo apt-get install samba     will install samba for you
[21:00] <jwash|2> hi everyone, i have a nice little laptop i want to give my niece. it needs to be locked down tightly, is there wa way i can get it to automatically scan wireless networks, crack one  and then "call home"?
[21:00] <jnsl_> im not sure what command to use for uninstall though
[21:00] <Trond--> ikonia, it will be on C: then I guess. How do I see Ubuntu from Windows Explorer? Will it show as C:\Ubuntu?
[21:00] <ikonia> jwash|2: "crack one" ?
[21:00] <ityler15> edbian: http://paste.ubuntu.com/666002/
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> jnsl_: I can give you my smb.conf if you want, makes shares on my server :)
[21:00] <jwash|2> yea
[21:00] <ikonia> Trond--: you don't see it from windows
[21:01] <jwash|2> cause she won't know the key
[21:01] <jwash|2> and likely won't know/figure out how to configure
[21:01] <edbian> ityler15: See at the bottom?  wl is gone now (you can reboot to test)
[21:01] <jnsl_> im trying to remove samba to free up memory :)
[21:01] <ikonia> jwash|2: you don't crack wireless networks, that's illegal, do not ask again.
[21:01] <Trond--> ikonia, Will I see Win7 folder from Ubuntu?
[21:01] <ikonia> Trond--: if you mount your ubuntu disk
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> jnsl_: sudo apt-get --purge remove samba
[21:01] <jnsl_> cool thanks, ill try that
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> jnsl_: will uninstall the service entirely
[21:01] <jwash|2> even if it belongs to her household?
[21:01] <ikonia> jwash|2: yes,
[21:02] <Trond--> hm
[21:02] <Trond--> How do I check how much space Ubuntu takes?
[21:02] <Trond--> from the OS
[21:02] <Trond--> I am running Ubuntu now
[21:02] <urlin2u> saladin1980, this works as well. http://liveusb.info/dotclear/  just translate if needed.
[21:03] <fbnts> Anybody know if its possible to adjust the colours on ubuntu (the HDMI output to my TV is showing wrong colors)
[21:03] <ikonia> Trond--: it will be roughly 2.2GB as a default install
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> Trond--: df -h
[21:04] <BlueWolf> How would I go about burning a movie to a DVD, and enable it to work on a DVD player?
[21:04] <ikonia> BlueWolf: depends what format it's currently in
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: use devede
[21:04] <Gentoo64> Blue1, devede
[21:04] <jnsl_> hmm would changing the NumServers directive in apache free up memory ?
[21:04] <Trond--> ikonia, if I make a mistake when I install Ubuntu about how much space I want for the OS can I later expand it?
[21:05] <edbian> Trond--: yes
[21:05] <urlin2u> saladin1980, if you try the multisystem app I have found it work only if formatted with gparted, probably the disk utility works as well.
[21:05] <edbian> Trond--: using a liveCD
[21:05] <ikonia> Trond--: it depends on a lot of things, but normally - yes
[21:05] <Trond--> edbian, run Ubuntu, put in liveCD?
[21:05] <ityler15> edbian: thanks soooooo much, thats what drove me from ubuntu before , but now it wont:D
[21:05] <BlueWolf> ikonia: Sorry what format? How would I go about doing it with brasero?
[21:05] <edbian> Trond--: I don't understand the question.
[21:05] <edbian> ityler15: sure :)
[21:06] <Trond--> edbian, mm nvm actually. cheers
[21:06] <ikonia> BlueWolf: what format is the movie currently in
[21:06] <edbian> Trond--: ok :)
[21:06] <saladin1980> urlin2u i just did a format with ntfs and then took that and then reparted it so it would recognize as a bootable and then took that with the iso..(after making stupied computer read it)  extracted into it and now just waiting for extraction to finish
[21:07] <urlin2u> saladin1980, cool I think that will be it, I have used that methid about 10 times without a failure, make sure the boot flag is ther gparted will show it.
[21:07] <ityler15> edbian:  now, should i remove windows xp completely from my computer? what do you think?
[21:08] <BlueWolf> ikonia: It's in MV4, What format dose it need to be in? Avi? I have Arist Trancecoder installed on my machine to convert it. . . . .
[21:09] <urlin2u> saladin1980, interestingly that ISO has all the official releases on it as well.
[21:09] <physically_fit> anyone knows a good site for proxies? i need a proxy From finland. Thanks.
[21:09] <ikonia> physically_fit: please don't ask for that sort of thing in here
[21:10] <physically_fit> message me
[21:10] <ikonia> physically_fit: do not ask again
[21:10] <ityler15> Bluewolf: in north america youll need to convert  it to NTSC format
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> doesn't devede sort the who ntsc nonesense out
[21:11] <edbian> ityler15: oh def  get rid of it!
[21:11] <ikonia> I believe so
[21:11] <BlueWolf> ityler15: No need to worry about that. I'm not in north America. I'm in Southern Africa. . . . . . .  What then?
[21:12] <ityler15> BlueWolf: hold on.....
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: the GUI is quite comprehensive, just set it to whatever you need
[21:13] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: Ok now I'm getting confused?
[21:13] <Bottles> I was wondering, I have Ubuntu, and installed kubuntu-desktop to try out KDE, if I wanted to switch, is there a way to completely shift from Ubuntu to Kubuntu and get rid of Gnome?
[21:13] <ikonia> Bottles: just remove the gnome packages
[21:14] <saladin1980> urlin2u what iso u talking about?
[21:14] <aguitel> Bottles, see that :http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[21:14] <guntbert> whokm should i ask about the ubuntu installer guesses the correct time zone?
[21:15] <guntbert> *whom
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> Bottles: if you remove the gnome libs, it should cause the rest to fails deps an need removing
[21:15] <ikonia> guntbert: in what way ?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: what standard does your TV signal use?
[21:15] <urlin2u> saladin1980, the W7 ISO or a DVD has all the release from MS within the bit amount 32 0r 64, you have ultimate to the ones below it is a file inside that controls what you offred per your purchase.
[21:16] <Bottles> Cool, thanks guys
[21:16] <saladin1980> ohhh yea i knew that urlin2u its all controled by the key you put in to the install that controls what is actually installed or not installed:)
[21:16] <ikonia> saladin1980: try asking in ##windows
[21:16] <urlin2u> saladin1980, good to know if you want to upgrade or due and need to reinstall or work on others computers.
[21:17] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: To be honest, I have no clue. Is it not as simple as burning the movie to the dvd and playing it on the dvd player?
[21:17] <guntbert> ikonia: on installation it already suggests my correct time zone and I'm curious as to how that is accomplished (it is the step after selecting the drive layout)
[21:17] <saladin1980> ikonia already been there:) LOL
[21:17] <ikonia> guntbert: I believe it's a number of methods. your time held in the bios and if possible your ISP
[21:17] <ikonia> saladin1980: ok - so that's where you need to continue that conversation
[21:18] <ityler15> BlueWolf: cant really find if it needs to be NTSC or PAL, all ive found so far is that your region code is 2
[21:18] <urlin2u> saladin1980, cool some don't know this, that you xcan remove the file and choose the install you want, then use the key for that version.
[21:18] <ikonia> urlin2u: please take this conversation to ##windows
[21:18] <kernix> hi all
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: if you use the wrong TV standard it won't work so well. You could try it and see if your hardware is smart enough to work it out. Remember to burn the ISO as slowly as you can
[21:19] <urlin2u> ikonia, no problem but it is a thumb load from ubuntu I think there set.
[21:19] <saladin1980> ikonia if u actually know what we were talking about good otherwise stop;) but still waiting on the extract to see if that worked to make the usb bootable... have to check the gpart again urlin2u
[21:19] <BlueWolf> ityler15: I think it's PAL.
[21:20] <ikonia> saladin1980: stop the discussion about windows, and the license keys, and associated topic - understood ?
[21:20] <saladin1980> Nope
[21:20] <guntbert> ikonia: thats entirely possible, would that be a question to ask on launchpad (I have a hard time imagining how it would know my ISP...)
[21:21] <nikolam> Who is a guy responsible for killing help.ubuntu.com by requiring to run google.com JavaScripts to just using search on help.ubuntu.com?
[21:21]  * auronandace wonders why people don't want to stay on-topic
[21:21] <urlin2u> ikonia, sorry about that. ;)
[21:21] <nikolam> Am I using ubuntu or google OS?
[21:21] <ikonia> guntbert: if you give me a few hours, I can figure it out for you, I've never looked at it properly
[21:21] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip. Ok the movie is M4v format, so I would have to convert it with Arista, to what? AVI???
[21:21] <ikonia> urlin2u: not a problem
[21:21] <ikonia> nikolam: what did you install ?
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: should be ok, the system will tell you if it can accept the files
[21:22] <nikolam> ikonia, I am using Ubuntu from 2007, thank you very much.  I thought it would not work?
[21:22] <guntbert> ikonia: that would be awfully nice, no need to hurry anything :-))
[21:22] <blakebrinkley> hello
[21:22] <ikonia> guntbert: I'm slightly interested myself now
[21:23] <nikolam> Use Noscript and BLOCk google tracking of you all over internet!
[21:23] <nikolam> got to go now but will be back.
[21:23] <guntbert> ikonia: I guessed as much :)
[21:23] <ikonia> guntbert: I know it uses those two techniques, however I don't know for certain if they are "fact" in terms of "the" deciding factor
[21:23] <ikonia> guntbert: or if there are more deciders
[21:23] <sqrt7744> Hi, I'm on 11.04, does anyone know how to have vlc automatically handle DVDs? Totem doesn't really work well, if I try to skip forward it craps out.
[21:23] <blakebrinkley> Can anybody help me?
[21:24] <tntc> sqrt7744: vlc does, yeah
[21:24] <ityler15> BlueWolf: i cant really find a PAL encoder for Linux hold on
[21:24] <guntbert> ikonia: no worries, as it is not really important, only something "nice to know"
[21:24] <ikonia> guntbert: yes, I'm interested too
[21:24] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: Ok how would I burn the movie in brasero????
[21:24] <guntbert> !ask | blakebrinkley
[21:25] <sqrt7744> tntc, i would like vlc to launch when a DVD is inserted, or at least in nautilus the "launch movie player" button should launch vlc...
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: it makes a standard DVD ISO. Why not just TRY the software and see, saves all these needless questions which you would answer yourself. If you get issues then ask
[21:26] <phoenixsampras> anyone by chance  , knows whats the admin user for moodle?
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> !info moodle
[21:27] <urlin2u> sqrt7744, the properties right click will give you the default media player.
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> phoenixsampras: may help http://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Step-by-step_Install_Guide_for_Ubuntu
[21:27] <sqrt7744> ok I figured it out, if you change /etc/gnome/defaults.list i changed totem.desktop to vlc.desktop
[21:28] <urlin2u> sqrt7744, that works as well. ;)
[21:28] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: Ok I have an issue, I have only use brasero for games, and the ubuntu live CD, nothing more, I don't use it much. What do I do to burn the movie on? How would I go about it? :D Please if you don't mind?
[21:29] <sqrt7744> urlin2u, yep, I'm not sure what properties window you are talking about, I can do that for file of a certain type, but I don't know how to do it for a disc. Anyway, solved now, but thanks
[21:30] <urlin2u> sqrt7744, ant media and evry thing clickable has a right click and properties option, kind of usefull to know you can change icons from there and other activities.
[21:30] <urlin2u> any

[21:32] <zagabar> Lol. one of my friend's server's accounts got broken into. The perpetrator wgetted some compressed archives hitten as jpg-files, extracted them and they contained a shitload of scripts and stuff. Seems like it installed muh the irc bouncer and had scripts for hiding processes. When digging around in the files it led me to an irc-channel on undernet containing a lot of nicks of the same name, but with__ after. Is this some kind of co
[21:32] <ikonia> zagabar: that's nothing to do with ubuntu, and please control your language
[21:32] <zagabar> ikonia: sorry for my language. I know it has nothing to do with ubuntu but I thought someone might answer anyway.

[21:33] <jimcooncat> Hi, installing Ubuntu Lucid on a new Acer. Would like to keep the factory Windows install. It comes with these partitions: PQSERVICE (30GB), SYSTEM RESTORE (105 MB), Acer (145 GB) and DATA (145 GB). Do I repartition the last two for the Ubuntu install?
[21:33] <ikonia> zagabar: thanks
[21:33] <sqrt7744> #netsec?
[21:33] <zagabar> sqrt7744: Asking me?
[21:34] <sqrt7744> zagabar, just a suggestion, though it isn't on freenode, you'll have to look around
[21:34] <urlin2u> jimcooncat, back up the W7ninstall before you do anything.
[21:34] <ikonia> sqrt7744: you've just saw me say we don't support this - so drop the conversation
[21:34] <zagabar> sqrt7744: Ah thanks
[21:34] <sqrt7744> ikonia, i was just mentioning a more appropriate channel
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> jimcooncat: sounds good to me, I recommend you take an image of the restore partition before hand, as a backup (restore partitions are such a pain i the ass)
[21:35] <ikonia> sqrt7744: it's not appropriate, - stop now.

[21:42] <gccster> what can be wrong it was working until a few days before
[21:42] <yeats> gccster: does the file exist?
[21:42] <jorge> Im very amateur in linux, but I got inlove with it :D haha specially "Unity" interface
[21:42] <ikonia> gccster: what webserver are you using ?
[21:42] <gccster> apache and php5
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> gccster: do both folders exist?
[21:42] <ikonia> gccster: how did you install it ?
[21:43] <gccster> it was installed from apt-get, the files does not exist but when i use virtualhost it all works
[21:43] <gccster> how is this possible?
[21:43] <ikonia> gccster: which file ?
[21:43] <gccster> the path /usr/share/php
[21:43] <gccster> and pear
[21:44] <gccster> what can be wrong i cant believe it was working before a few days
[21:44] <ikonia> gccster: I suspect it's the file index.php referencing an include which doesn't exist from the cwd (if you look it's ./usr/share/blah, not /usr/share/blah)

[21:46] <TYDIRocks> edbian, hey buddy
[21:46] <edbian> TYDIRocks: hello
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> CynicisM: it wil, possibly doesn't support 64bit guests
[21:47] <CynicisM> ETronik, boot into classic mode and install your graphic driver from there, then unity should work, i had the same issue
[21:47] <gccster> ikonia, i didnt understand what is wrong
[21:47] <CynicisM> ActionParsnip, ty
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> ETronik: if you press CTRL+ALT+T do you get a terminal?
[21:47] <TYDIRocks> edbian, maybe you could help me with this. I just installed backtrack, but for some reason it boots up to Ubuntu, it doesn't give me a choice
[21:47] <urlin2u> ETronik, have you been tweaking compiz?
[21:47] <gccster> ikonia, what should i change?
[21:47] <ETronik> ActionParsnip: no idea...
[21:47] <edbian> TYDIRocks: go into ubuntu and run sudo update-grub   then it should list both in a menu.  For the record this is #ubuntu support not backtrack support
[21:47] <ETronik> urlin2u: don't think so
[21:48] <ikonia> gccster: are you using mod user_dir ?
[21:48] <edbian> TYDIRocks: also, slow down!  distro-hopping is addictive
[21:48] <gccster> yes
[21:48] <TYDIRocks> edbian, I'm aware, just since Ubuntu is half of it so :p
[21:48] <TYDIRocks> edbian, these are the only 2 distros I should need :D
[21:48] <gccster> ikonia, i do
[21:48] <edbian> TYDIRocks: sure :)  That's why I answered
[21:48] <ETronik> urlin2u: It has been like this since my first install of 11.04 from scratch on this PC
[21:48] <TYDIRocks> edbian, also the backtrack irc is dead lol
[21:48] <edbian> TYDIRocks: There should be only 1 distro you need :P   In an ideal world
[21:48] <ikonia> gccster: disable it, and test
[21:48] <edbian> TYDIRocks: Yes I believe that
[21:48] <TYDIRocks> edbian, oh wait I typed in the wrong irc
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> ETronik: then press it and you will have an idea
[21:49] <edbian> ha
[21:49] <urlin2u> ETronik, you saw the post on getting to the tty.
[21:50] <ETronik> urlin2u: post ? you mean here in this channel?  by you?
[21:50] <TYDIRocks> edbian, so I ran that command. If I restart I should be prompted to choose one?
[21:50] <urlin2u> ETronik, no by ActionParsnip  crtl-alt-f2
[21:50] <edbian> TYDIRocks: yes (did the command state that it found backtrack?)
[21:50] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: Ok I have an issue, I have only use brasero for games, and the ubuntu live CD, nothing more, I don't use it much. What do I do to burn the movie on? How would I go about it?
[21:50] <ETronik> urlin2u: I tried all sorts of key combinations... nothing...
[21:51] <TYDIRocks> edbian, oh crap forgot to check, already shut down lol
[21:51] <edbian> TYDIRocks: that's ok
[21:51] <ETronik> urlin2u: so I switch the notebook and turn it back on, where I get into the classic Ubuntu
[21:52] <physically_fit> anyone from FINLAND that can do me a favor? (download a clip for me). message me. thank you very much.
[21:52] <TYDIRocks> edbian, okay I wasn't prompted, but the linux thing has 2 more options. It added Ubuntu with Linux 2.6.38 (on /dev/sda6) and then the same with recovery mode
[21:52] <ETronik> urlin2u: I just came across this : http://ubuntu4beginners.blogspot.com/2011/04/missing-top-and-side-panels-in-unity.html
[21:52] <ETronik> urlin2u: might be a possible solution
[21:52] <edbian> TYDIRocks: try those new options.  I think it's wrongly labeling them as Ubuntu (because backtrack is based on ubuntu)
[21:52] <urlin2u> ETronik, your choice it is kind of difficult for anybody to guess the problems being in the classic I assume will be a good start to find answers.
[21:53] <alex__> Русские тут есть ?
[21:53] <TYDIRocks> edbian, thought so, that worked. Is there a way to change the labels?
[21:53] <edbian> TYDIRocks: yes but I don't remember how in grub2
[21:53] <ETronik> urlin2u: yeah thanks, I'll report back soon
[21:53] <edbian> TYDIRocks: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[21:54] <TYDIRocks> edbian, would it be Custom Menu Entries?
[21:54] <edbian> TYDIRocks: I don't think so.  That's for adding your own menu entries.  Maybe it will be helpful to understanding though
[21:57] <Neptu> hej small question how i change the icon image of the launcher with 11.04??
[22:00] <Flannel> sig
[22:01] <szal> Flannel: huh?  a blanket ban?
[22:01] <Flannel> szal: I thought we could all use some peace and quiet ;)
[22:01] <szal> heheh
[22:02] <robbmunson> Good thing nobody decided to chat...
[22:03] <holocaust84_> Doobie doobie dooo
[22:04] <keith_> I don't know why, but my connection wasn't being allowed through my router. I just cloned my hard drive with Acronis True Image, installed it, and now it's working fine. I'm not complaining, but I don't understand how I'm back up.
[22:04]  * OerHeks finds holocaust an offensive name, and leaves
[22:04] <Neptu> anyone know how to change the icon from the launcher un 10.04??
[22:05] <holocaust84_>  /assure OerHeks the name is just a Gaming "Handle"
[22:06] <keith_> Is there a way to back up my settings with Ubuntu, just in case I ever need to revert to them?
[22:07] <escott> keith_, depends on which settings
[22:07] <keith_> I'm talking everything, a full back-up
[22:08] <escott> keith_, most "system" settings are in /etc (a few are in the $HOME of the respective application). user settings are in ~/.config and ~/.*
[22:08] <urlin2u> keith_, you have acronis that is a full back up a image correct?
[22:08] <keith_> Yes now I do
[22:09] <gccster> ikonia, it was an open_basedir problem thank you
[22:10] <urlin2u> keith_, I use clonezilla and have a bash with every thing installed and the sources.list saved other then that, and a rysnc of home.
[22:10] <keith_> Ok, I see what you mean..thanks
[22:10] <keith_> Ok. I'm also wondering if 11.04 is worth upgrading to..I have 10.10 now
[22:11] <dougl> on my ubuntu 10.10 installation my Remote Desktop configuration only indicates 'localhost' for a connection - there doesnt seem to be access on my IP - can someone suggest a fix?
[22:11] <urlin2u> keith_, your choice, you will get many answers here. Down load the ISO and try it out and see if you like it
[22:13] <keith_> I'm doing that now..I'm also considering Mint..I'm just glad to be back up
[22:13] <urlin2u> keith_, backups are your best insurance.
[22:13] <infohigh> I installed ubuntu-server on a 500G drive, with a "guided" LVM install.
[22:13] <infohigh> It chose to give me 440G for /home and only 300M for /
[22:14] <infohigh> so a dist-upgrade couldn't even succeed because / ran out of space from kernel modules LoL
[22:14] <amellenico> Ciao a tutti
[22:14] <StevenR> infohigh: so you need to shrink the fs on /home, wiggle the lvm, expand /, and there you go
[22:14] <escott> infohigh, the point of lvm is to leave free space, and allocate more as you need it. not to preallocate everything
[22:14] <StevenR> infohigh: I'd advise a backup before you start of course.
[22:14] <infohigh> StevenR: yeah.  but why would it choose such strange presets?
[22:15] <infohigh> I know how to do the change, I was just amazed it would have chosen such a poor setup :-)
[22:15] <StevenR> infohigh: I don't know. I've never really done "guided" setups. I either go for "do what you like" or "do exactly what I demand" stups

[22:28] <sync0pate> Hello ubuntu people
[22:29] <linelevel> Hi, I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T410 running Ubuntu. When I adjust the LCD brightness, the slider moves, but the change does not take effect until I restart the computer. Google has not been helpful. Any suggestions?
[22:30] <cconstantine_> I'm trying to write a PAM module to authenticate a username/password and not having luck.  does anyone have a page describing how to do that?
[22:30] <sync0pate> anyone here know anything about getting a scanner working over the network?
[22:31] <paulo> I tried to install Veetle and now wen I start up I get the message "could not update ICE authority. the computer starts up any way if I press the button but I don’t Have sound control on task bar menu. Can any one help me?
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> sync0pate: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo
[22:32] <maneet> trism: how to sutup keys.... i have already made a key using pgp --gen-keys
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> paulo: boot to root recovery mode and chown the file to your user
[22:32] <sync0pate> cheers ActionParsnip
[22:32] <escott> linelevel, have you played around with /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0
[22:32] <sync0pate> I found exactly the same page somewhere but it didnt have the network section! weird
[22:34] <linelevel> escott: No.
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> sync0pate: all I did was websearch...
[22:35] <sync0pate> ActionParsnip, hmm.. fair enough, I've been googling all afternoon :S
[22:35] <paulo> how do i Chown the file
[22:35] <paulo> ????
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> paulo: paulo hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root, then run:   chown foo:foo /home/foo/.ICEauthority
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> paulo: change foo for your username
[22:36] <holocaust84_> sync0pate: be sure to select the most recent date order for results (which I often forget to do also), I use Bing but I'm pretty sure Google has this feature also.

[22:36] <rtr-> hello, i have i problem, i cant open new tcp connections it says always "No buffer space available"  what does this cause? doesnt count what i try, elinks google.de says the same "no buffer space available" mysql says "Can't create TCP/IP socket (105)"  any ideas?
[22:36] <paulo> thanks I will try it now
[22:36] <six88six> can anyone recommend the name of a fat32/ntfs recovery/repair tool for ubuntu ?
[22:36] <paulo> see you guys in a minute
[22:37] <sync0pate> Not working anyway ActionParsnip, thanks though. Hmm
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> six88six: foremost can check for files which have been deleted, if that's what you mean?
[22:37] <six88six> ActionParsnip, well that too even if it is another program
[22:38] <linelevel> escott: As a workaround, I can switch to a console tty, and brightness adjustment then works; then I can switch back without trouble.
[22:38] <escott> rtr-, is netstat showing a lot of open connections
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> six88six: I'd go for that, your backups will be the most successful way to recover data
[22:38] <bernhard2>  Installed nginx and php5 php5-fpm the website is working with html not not php the info.php does not show php info. did install apt-get install php5 php5-fpm php-pear php5-common php5-mcrypt php5-mysql php5-cli php5-gd php5-curl php5-imap php5-memcache php-apc restart both nginx and php5-fpm The nginx config files can be found here.. http://pastebin.com/tH4RaYB0
[22:39] <rtr-> escott, netstat |wc -l says 88, shouldnt be too mouch? i have to add, its a vps no real server
[22:39] <walddackel> hi, is ther a tool/media player that can generate awsome visuals to music like winamp?
[22:39] <nessonic7> Hello, having issues with a linksys wrt54g- I can get into the interface but after about a minute it conks out and it shows "cannot be displayed" chrome error
[22:40] <escott> rtr-, netstat -a -t | wc -l (TIME_WAIT would probably also count against you)
[22:40]  * walddackel starts to like irssi
[22:41] <szal> walddackel: try Weechat :P
[22:42] <rtr-> escott, what do you meant with TIME_WAIT would count against me? i have 44 CLOSE_WAIT hanging
[22:42] <trism> maneet: you may be all set now then, you can try building the package again, or try signing the COC as a test: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto#Launchpad%20Key%20Signing
[22:42] <walddackel> szal: it seems to be a bit more userfriendly...
[22:43] <shinsuke> i want to use xen with ubuntu 11.04, windows 7 and xp. is this possible?
[22:43] <walddackel> szal: thx for tzeh hint
[22:44] <nessonic7> I have 30-30-30 reset the router and still have issues
[22:44] <szal> walddackel: yw
[22:44] <walddackel> !xen
[22:44] <escott> rtr-, if there aren't lots of extra connections with -a -t then thats not the problem. what is your txqueuelen in ifconfig
[22:46] <rtr-> escott, its 0
[22:46] <shinsuke> the ubuntu wiki does not write about 11.04. i fear its too early
[22:47] <escott> rtr-, i dont think you want that try sudo ifconfig INTERFACE txqueuelen 1000
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> shinsuke: it's the same difference
[22:48] <rtr-> escott, did it, but doesnt change anything :/
[22:50] <escott> rtr-, i dont know what might be causing that, but you could bounce the interface or reboot
[22:52] <Kaapa> hello everyone. Trying to install ubuntu on a vaio y series. Booting from a usb pen but it gets stuck on the first line (syslinux .... )
[22:52] <rtr-> escott, thanks but i fear i cant get into my box using ssh after reboot
[22:52] <Kaapa> any tips?
[22:53] <Bigbucks> Hello all.
[22:53] <rtr-> escott, do you know a way to kill this close_wait by hand?
[22:53] <urlin2u> Kaapa, you load the thumb with?
[22:54] <urlin2u> thumb=pen
[22:54] <Kaapa> urlin2u: I followed the instructions on the site, used universal usb installer from a win7 in the same laptop
[22:54] <Guest36525> if i have my old .ssh folder how do i reimport my private keys?
[22:55] <urlin2u> kappa, you might try unetbootin.
[22:55] <Kaapa> Guest36525: just copy them
[22:55] <Bigbucks> !blacklist
[22:55] <escott> rtr-, no idea, but i doubt thats the problem
[22:56] <Kaapa> urlin2u: trying
[22:56] <Bigbucks> I am sorry, but what is the command where I can find all the drivers with usb in the name?
[22:56] <escott> glassresistor, you can just copy over the files, or append the data from known_hosts and the like
 I did what you told me to but the problem is there any way
[22:56] <glassresistor> Kaapa: i did should I restart its not showing up
[22:57] <rtr-> okay escott, thank you very much
[22:57] <urlin2u> Bigbucks, lsusb  ?
[22:58] <Bigbucks> That should provide me a list with all the drivers with USB in the name?
[22:58] <glassresistor> escott: im getting permission denied(public key)
[22:59] <glassresistor> escott: after copying them
[22:59] <Kaapa> urlin2u: in case that doesn't work, any other tips?
[22:59] <urlin2u> BigBucks, I don't think so just the usb ports I believe, as far as all drivers with usb not sure.
[22:59] <Kaapa> (this laptop doesn't have a cd drive)
[23:00] <escott> glassresistor, you'll have to be more specific. what system is the host and what the server, and where are you copying files from
[23:00] <urlin2u> Kaapa, lots of usb loader there is one at pendrive linux,
[23:00] <Bigbucks> urlin2u Well, I am running Ubuntu Server 11.04 on an old desktop, and it keeps giving me the following error : [###.######] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 4 and # is replaced with a timer, and the error comes up constantly, and I cannot login
[23:00] <escott> Kaapa, nomodeset if you have switchable graphics
[23:01] <Kaapa> escott: where do I get to set that options, as I think I can't even get a prompt?
[23:02] <glassresistor> so i copied over my .ssh file and restarted, the private key is encrypted but its not asking me for a pass phrase to decrypted it
[23:02] <Kaapa> hum... something like pressing tab or shift
[23:02] <Kaapa> I'll try, rebooting
[23:03] <tabakhase> urlin2u: mooo, ive given up, seems that windows ehere having truble with its 100MB boot partition, reinstalled from scratch, windows first now works just fine...
[23:03] <urlin2u> Kappa, other loader, the nomodeset option is a f6 at the first gui if you get there. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[23:03] <Bigbucks> urlin2u what do you suggest?
[23:04] <urlin2u> tabakhase, I never use the boot partition in Windows 7 only needed if using ultimate and bitlocker.
[23:04]  * tabakhase is using ultimate
[23:04] <urlin2u> Bigbucks, way out of my knowledge area, .:-)
[23:04] <paulo> Encontrei isto aqui em foruns
[23:05] <paulo> parece ser a solução
[23:05] <glassresistor> how do i get ssh-agent to register the new keys
[23:05] <paulo> I solved the problem replacing the .ICEauthority in my home with the .ICEauthority version in /var/lib/gdm and changing ownership to the user.
[23:05] <paulo> Apparently veetle installation had damaged the origin in my home directory
[23:05] <S4nD3r> Hi there
[23:05] <paulo> só não sei como fazer isto
[23:05] <S4nD3r> How to install <IP_ADDRESS> kernel?
[23:05] <overclucker> windows 7 doesn't create boot partition if you manually partition before installing
[23:05] <paulo> alguém me pode explicar passo por passo?
[23:05] <Jordan_U> !pt | paulo
[23:06] <urlin2u> overclucker, that's the truth. ;-)
[23:06] <tabakhase> and horay, after 4 hours my sectorBySector copy of the otherNotebooks harddrive is done =) next: try too put truecrypt after grub =)
[23:08] <tabakhase> overclucker: yes, and that seemed to be his problem, i had ubuntu installed first and tryed windows on sda3(primary partition) i was able to boot windows by grub, but one iver bootet ubunut sda3 goes busy and im unable to boot windows annymore, insert winrepair BootRex.exe /FixBoot (repairs only partition table), now windows boots again(with grub) until i boot ubuntu, when booting ubuntu its dead again.
[23:09] <glassresistor> ok i had to kill the known_hosts file and it started working
[23:09] <glassresistor> good
[23:09] <urlin2u> tabakhase, you have never purged grub as I suggested and reloaded it, due to unsubstantiated theorys
[23:09] <overclucker> tabakhase: i wasn't aware that truecrypt ws at the stage where multiboot and root volume encryption could coexist
[23:10] <Kaapa> no luck
[23:11] <Kaapa> reformatting the pen drive and trying again
[23:11] <urlin2u> tabakhase, no mention ever of truecrypt a s well.
[23:11] <tabakhase> urlin2u: truecrypt story is another system, dont mix up ;-)
[23:13] <pythonirc101> In python --> When i do "import matplotlib.tri" on windows, it works, on ubuntu -- it doesn't -- what am i missing? (Error: no module named tri) ?
[23:14] <om26er> Python1320, sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
[23:14] <tabakhase> overclucker: "regarding the internet" its possible to a) pack TCbootloader onto the normal bootpartition and chainload it OR b) TCloader do /dev/sda, pressing escape -> "search for other" and then having grub installed on /dev/sda2 for example
[23:14] <om26er> (thats just my quick google and package search)
[23:15] <shinsuke> can i install xen after i installed my system including configurations and so on? or do i have to install xen first and then start with installing and configuring all my os? thanks
[23:16] <Jordan_U> tabakhase: http://gitorious.org/grub2tc/grub2tc/blobs/master/README For truecrypt and grub2. Note however that Truecrypt licensing is effectively non-Free.
[23:16] <pythonirc101> om26er: I did
[23:16] <om26er> Python1320, and?
[23:16] <pythonirc101> om26er: import matplotlib.tri doesnt work-- seems perhaps ubuntu has an older version of matplotlib?
[23:17] <pythonirc101> om26er: try doing this "import matplotlib.tri" on your box  -- does it work?
[23:17] <om26er> pythonirc101, which version of Ubuntu you use?
[23:17] <om26er> pythonirc101, just a sec
[23:18] <triplc> hi all
[23:19] <tabakhase> hm Jordan_U sure this is neccessary? get me a second
[23:19] <pythonirc101> om26er: any luck?
[23:19] <triplc> how to get a "basic" dev environment? i run "apt-get --no-install-recommends install build-essential".. how i ever i still cannot compile dwm (a basic window manager)
[23:19] <om26er> pythonirc101, its installing for me
[23:19] <urlin2u> triplc, what's up.
[23:19] <om26er> Python1320, i dint had it installed
[23:19] <Jordan_U> tabakhase: For reliable booting, yes.
[23:20] <pythonirc101> om26er: Thanks
[23:20] <triplc> urlin2u: when i run "make" it cannot compile... anyway, just wanna to know which package i need to install other than build-essential to get a basic dev environment
[23:21] <urlin2u> triplc, not sure to be honest.
[23:21] <triplc> oops
[23:21] <zeus_> I'm trying to install boot-repair on my intrepid live cd, and I added this to the software sources "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/yannubuntu/boot-repair-dev/ubuntu intrepid main" but when I search for the boot-repair package in synaptic I get these errors: http://pastebin.com/wNSWghqD
[23:21] <th0r> triplc: you will need the -dev packages for whatever libs are required by the package you are trying to compile...it isn't just a matter of installing build-essential
[23:21] <om26er> pythonirc101, hmm i get the error as well
[23:22] <om26er> pythonirc101, actually it works with python 2.7
[23:22] <pythonirc101> om26er: The problem it seems is that ubuntu's matplotlib is old?

[23:23] <urlin2u> zeus, your system when you add to the softwre list you update then search.
[23:23] <pythonirc101> Linux tubuntu 2.6.38-10-server #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 28 16:31:00 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[23:23] <pythonirc101> om26er: do i need to run something to upgrade?
[23:23] <urlin2u> zeus_, your system when you add to the software list you update then search.
[23:24] <om26er> pythonirc101, i am really not sure, never played much with python or any language for that matter
[23:24] <pythonirc101> om26er: Python 2.7.1+ (r271:86832, Apr 11 2011, 18:13:53) -- this is my python version.
[23:24] <pythonirc101> is that yours as well?
[23:24] <shinsuke> as hardware virtualization do you recommend xen or kvm for 11.04?
[23:24] <om26er> Python1320, i am using Oneiric alpha-3
[23:25] <pythonirc101> what is oneiric alpha-3? ubuntu version?
[23:25] <coz_> 11.10
[23:25] <om26er> pythonirc101, 11.10 upcoming
[23:25] <arquebus> In the folder window, instead of having the path in text, it has buttons for each folder in the path. Is there any way I can revert back to having the path in text?
[23:25] <om26er> pythonirc101, it has python 2.7.2
[23:26] <compdoc> shinsuke, qemu-kvm works very well
[23:28] <shinsuke> compdoc, do i need to reinstall my system if i want to use kvm?
[23:28] <potatoe> I want to set system wide the bash variable 'force_color_prompt=yes' can this be done without changing each .bashrc for all my existing users ?
[23:29] <compdoc> shinsuke, no. You dont even need a differernt kernel
[23:29] <shinsuke> compdoc, thanks a lot. i will use kvm then
[23:30] <th0r> potatoe: amazing what 'locate bashrc' will show
[23:30] <arquebus> anyone know how I can set the address bar in the folder window to have text address instead of buttons representing each folder in the path?
[23:32] <potatoe> /etc/bash.bashrc is what I wanted
[23:32] <Jordan_U> tabakhase: All of those links are out of date.
[23:34] <Jordan_U> tabakhase: The last one on further inspection isn't out of date, but it's still not ideal.

[23:36] <KM0201> Richiie: have you tried to reconfigure gdm?
[23:36] <Jordan_U> tabakhase: You're welcome.
[23:36] <Richiie> KM0201: do you mean whit sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm ?
[23:37] <KM0201> Richiie: yes
[23:37] <Richiie> one sec,
[23:37] <CallMeD> hey guys had a prob with unity when i updated from 10.04 to 10.10 to 11.04 where the unity desktop never was initialized  and i was forced to revert to xfce in terminal mode now my sound card is acting up and sending what must be digital info to my sound card which needless to say is  loud and annoying anyone have any suggestions to stop this i'm going insane here
[23:37] <Sebo> Hi, can you tell me which would be the best way to make some virtualBox machine running when the system starts and stopping when it is going down? I was thinking of creating some /etc/init.d/ script or some inittab entries ... however I can not see eny inittab here at Ubuntu server.
[23:37] <Richiie> yes tried that one but it just runs the command no output..
[23:38] <mengu> is there a universal tool that can zoom any windows in my ubuntu 11.04?
[23:38] <Richiie> KM0201: do you have any other suggestions ?
[23:38] <KM0201> Richiie: so it doesn't ask you a series of questions, etc?
[23:38] <Richiie> KM0201: Nothing.. just runs the command and then i get a shell prompt again.
[23:38] <tabakhase> mengu: a mac styled "zoom everywhere"? when you find one ps fwd. to me =)
[23:39] <mengu> yes
[23:39] <Richiie> what's the easisest way to revert back to ubuntu 10.04 ATI graphic drivers ?
[23:39] <maestrojed> ok, n00b question. I followed the instructions to make a USB Drive to use to install Ubuntu on a box. When I boot the box to the USB drive it runs Ubuntu off of the USB drive. How do I install to the HD?
[23:39] <Richiie> and what's the default one's name
[23:39] <KM0201> Richiie: then the command is not running properly, because if you run that command, you get a series of questions you have to answer...
[23:40] <edbian> maestrojed: on the desktop of the USB drive there is an install application
[23:40] <Richiie> KM0201: ok should i try whit aptitude insted ?
[23:40] <tabakhase> maestrojed: no "install ubuntu" shortcut on desktop?
[23:40] <KM0201> Richiie: why would aptitude do anything?
[23:40] <CallMeD> anyone
[23:41] <Richiie> KM0201: true, just a thought
[23:41] <maestrojed> tabakhase No "install Ubuntu" on the desktop.
[23:41] <Richiie> KM0201: but hey there's gotta be a solution to do this.
[23:41] <maestrojed> edblan I see a folder called install which has a file called mt86plus?
[23:41] <edbian> maestrojed: a folder?  Where is this folder?
[23:41] <tabakhase> maestrojed: what image did u used for creating your stick?
[23:42] <maestrojed> tabakhase ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso
[23:42] <KM0201> Richiie: i did't say there wasn't, just saying aptitude isn't it.. that's a package manager
[23:42] <Richiie> KM0201: my xorg.0.log tells me "fatal error No screen found"
[23:42] <maestrojed> edbian on the desktop I see "ubuntu 11.04amd64" and the icon looks like a usb drive. In there is where I found that install drive
[23:43] <Richiie> "screens found but none have a usable config"
[23:43] <KM0201> Richiie: have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:43] <edbian> maestrojed: it sounds suspiciously like ubuntu is already installed on this computer.  Is that possible?
[23:43] <maestrojed> these are the directions I followed to make the usb drive https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick#Manual%20Approach
[23:43] <tabakhase> maestrojed: did you booted using the stick? dosnt sound like youre in the livecd right now...
[23:43] <Richiie> KM0201: yep same there command runs but no stdout
[23:43] <Richiie> just back to shell again.
[23:43] <CallMeD> hey guys had a prob with unity when i updated from 10.04 to 10.10 to 11.04 where the unity desktop never was initialized and i was forced to revert to xfce in terminal mode now my sound card is acting up and sending what must be digital info to my sound card which needless to say is loud and annoying anyone have any suggestions to stop this i'm going insane here
[23:43] <KM0201> Richiie: you have some other issue going on then
[23:43] <maestrojed> edbian hummmmm…. It is, Its an old HD I wasn't using but… I think you are right
[23:44] <edbian> maestrojed: I think that is what happened
[23:44] <Richiie> KM0201: hmm how can i solve this mess
[23:44] <KM0201> Richiie: i have no idea, those commands should work..
[23:44] <maestrojed> edbian it is, its 10.x. Do'h Thank you. Thank you too tabakhase
[23:44] <Richiie> KM0201: they work but they dont prompt anything...
[23:44] <edbian> maestrojed: sure
[23:45] <Richiie> so obviously therese gotta be something else i can do
[23:45] <tabakhase> please come again =)
[23:45] <KM0201> Richiie: thent hey aren't working
[23:45] <KM0201> both commands ask you a series of questions.
[23:45] <Richiie> KM0201: i belive you but it doesent work for me, so theres gotta be another way of doing this.
[23:45] <Richiie> KM0201: should i list every package of xorg i have installed currently ?
[23:46] <CallMeD> sigh so much for a community ready to help
[23:46] <KM0201> Richiie: sounds like your' above my level of expertise, i dunno.
[23:46] <Richiie> KM0201: well im working whit Linux and have an exam in it but i never relly worked whit ATI cards & Linux
[23:46] <KM0201> CallMeD: worth what you paid for it i guess
[23:47] <Richiie> due to driver issues, because i followed a guide on the net there was a PPA for it, called SWAT-X radeon drivers but i had video issues whit them
[23:48] <Richiie> therefore i need to revert back to the default drivers of ubuntu 10.04 so im asking the whole community how i do that, i removed the ppa and i have purged and reinstalled GDM but now i cant start my X.. lol so does anybody have a clue what i can do ?
[23:48] <CallMeD> i had hoped i would at least get a response and not just ignored
[23:48] <Richiie> or do i need to ask on the gentoo channel?....
[23:48] <KM0201> Richiie: what does gentoo have to do w/ ubntu?
[23:48] <KM0201> CallMeD: well, i gave you two responses.
[23:49] <Richiie> KM0201: nothing just ironic that people here arent answering vital and important questions..
[23:49] <CallMeD> neither of which addressed my problem
[23:49] <willwh> Richiie: you installed some random dirvers from a ppa and broke things?
[23:49] <KM0201> Richiie: uh, i have tried to address your problem, told you it was outside of my expertise, so someone is answering.. not all answers are available all the time << CallMeD you could follow that advise as well
[23:49] <KM0201> willwh: from the sounds of it
[23:50] <Richiie> willwh: no i installed propieraty drivers from a PPA called swat-X
[23:50] <willwh> Richiie: have you actually done a dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server ?
[23:50] <Richiie> but the results that i had in mind were not satisfing me so i want to switch back to the default ones.
[23:50] <willwh> it might just be x-server, Idk
[23:50] <Richiie> willwh: yes i did but i dont get any prompt on my TTY02
[23:50] <willwh> wow
[23:50] <Richiie> it just runs the command then back to shell prompt again.
[23:51] <willwh> so, you mean, ctrl+alt + <7
[23:51] <willwh> you log in
[23:51] <willwh> and it boots you back to login?
[23:51] <Richiie> dont got any ctrl alt 7 it's just blank screen

[23:56] <Richiie> willwh: what other suggestions do you got?
