[07:51] <mechdave> William7, try this --> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-boot-sequence/
[07:52] <William7> mechdave: ok thanks.. will do
[07:52] <ShadowSniper> hey guys, what can you use to see your frame rate for 3d rendering?
[07:53] <jasonmchristos> mobi-sheep: I think this is exactly what I need, excuse me while I read...btw do you think there is any downside to ext2 vs 3
[07:53] <mg_> yeah, this is wher i am confused'
[07:53] <jasonmchristos> for home
[07:53] <mobi-sheep> jasonmchristos: Netbook?  Laptop?  Computer
[07:53] <mg_> , something is nuted, but i am not sure what\\
[07:53] <mg_> , err muted
[07:54] <jasonmchristos> mobi-sheep: this is a laptop but I mean in general practice if I start making ext2 home
[07:54] <losher> jasonmchristos: ext3 is the filesystem of choice....
[07:54] <mg_> love this IRC channel btw
[07:54] <mg_> you guys rock
[07:55] <mechdave> jasonmchristos, ext3 has been about for quite a while now and it has the advantage over ext2 as being journalised so therefore much faster
[07:55] <ShadowSniper> hey guys, what can you use to see your frame rate for 3d rendering?
[07:55] <rAUNCH> good morning, could some1 explain to me please how to i set mouse dpi in ubuntu 8.04? :X
[07:55] <mobi-sheep> jasonmchristos: Well, I think netbook / removable mediums should stick with ext2 for lower read/write.  Laptop / computer / production servers should use ext3.  If you want to mess around, try ext4 (like I am at the moment). :)
[07:56] <jasonmchristos> mobi-sheep: I used it once for ubuntu studio didn't notice a difference studio kept crashing I thought it was because of ext4 but ext3 did the same
[07:56] <Evil_saltine> mg_: thanks =).. could you type amixer in the terminal and post the contents at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ ?
[07:57] <Evil_saltine> mg_: paste it in and click send, then post the URL of the page here
[07:57] <mg_> OK
[07:57] <Evil_saltine> mg_: post the output i mean there
[07:57] <jasonmchristos> mobi-sheep: I was considering using ext2 for .home/ for my clients who are just personal computer users incase they erase something and want it recoverd ext2 is simple to  recover I couldn't do it on ext3 although im sure its possible
[07:57] <mobi-sheep> jasonmchristos: ext3 are the best recommended choices for filesystem.  It's stable.  Well, ext4 are thought to be faster than ext3.
[07:58] <mg_> ok i post at web site
[07:58] <jasonmchristos> excuse me while I read now thanks al;;
[07:59] <jasonmchristos> all
[07:59] <mobi-sheep> jasonmchristos: The benefits of having ext3 is journaled which mean you don't have to do a hard fsck when something ill occurred.
[08:00] <mobi-sheep> jasonmchristos: According to Wikipedia on ext3 --> "Its main advantage over ext2 is journaling which improves reliability and eliminates the need to check the file system after an unclean shutdown."  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3 -- Have fun. :)
[08:00] <thomasan> Have anybody got xrdp(a rdp server) working on Intrepid?
[08:01] <Paul_> has anyone run IE in wine?
[08:01] <steven> does anybody knows what's going on with jaunty and intel
[08:01] <Evil_saltine> mg_: ok.. what is the URL of the page it took you to?
[08:01] <steven> jaunty+compiz+intel= fail
[08:02] <Paul_> steven: Ive got something, give me a minute
[08:02] <mg_> http://pastebin.com/
[08:02] <raboof> i'd like to configure a vpn, but i'm not running the gnome-toolbar
[08:02] <mg_> correct?
[08:03] <juxta> i'm trying to setup an encrypted root, with a keyfile. when I try to boot, i get nowhere, given that the keyfile is not able to be read (it's on another volume, which isng being mounted). How can I make sure the initrd script mount the volume which contain my keyfiles? (it's a usb key)
[08:03] <raboof> the docs tell me to click on the network-manager in the system tray, but it's not there - can I also start it from the commandline?
[08:03] <mg_> about to cout and paste
[08:03] <mg_> cut
[08:04] <martingoal> i made a small script and would like it to run at startup, i've made it so its excutable. someone said put it into my home folder and it should fire up but it does not am i doing something wrong
[08:04] <Piet> Paul_: http://www.ies4linux.org
[08:04] <Evil_saltine> mg_: Yes, but you need the URL it takes you to after you click Send
[08:05] <steven> alright paul
[08:05] <mg_> http://pastebin.com/ is not correct?
[08:05] <Piet> martingoal: do you want it executed while the computer starts up, when it has fully started up, or when you login?
[08:05] <Paul_> steve, I don't know if this is what your looking for, but check it out:  The GM965 is blacklisted on compiz due to some people having freezes it seems, but the X3100 works without a problem! Just edit /usr/bin/compiz and comment the line where it blacklists the GM965. Begins with $T= but can't  remember the rest now.
[08:06] <Evil_saltine> It is, but after you paste the output in and click Send, it will take you to another page. I need the address of that page because it contains what you pasted
[08:06] <Evil_saltine> mg: ^^
[08:06] <Paul_> thanks piet, but I was hoping to get the real IE7 running on jaunty
[08:06] <mg_> gere
[08:06] <Evil_saltine> mg_: i mean see above arrows, not happy arrows
[08:06] <raboof> ah, 'nm-applet'
[08:06] <martingoal> when i login is good piet. its only a simple uptime monitor :-)
[08:06] <mg_> ok
[08:07] <nmvictor> hi guys,is their a .DAT to .ogm  converter for ubuntu?i want to convert my .DAT files,thes seem to be twice as big as .ogm so i figure i could save some space doing the conversion
[08:07] <Piet> Paul_: dunno then. but if you really want that to work, i suggest you use virtualization.
[08:07] <mg_> mg@mg-desktop:~$  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/
[08:07] <mg_> hmmm i need the ubuntu in there?
[08:08] <mg_> ok
[08:08] <mechdave> mg_, what are you trying to do?
[08:08] <mg_> loading
[08:08] <Paul_> Piet: yeah, that was what I was thinking
[08:08] <Paul_> steeve: C
[08:08] <Evil_saltine> mg_: I was trying to get him to paste the output of amixer
[08:08] <mg_> trying to report my prob about sound
[08:08] <Evil_saltine> mechdave: er
[08:09] <mg_> it might be bug
[08:09] <Evil_saltine> mg_: Sorry, I have to go
[08:09] <mg_> no worries
[08:09] <Evil_saltine> mg_: It might clear itself up if you reboot
[08:09] <steven> hey paul
[08:09] <steven> thanks a lot!
[08:09] <mg_> mmmmm...no it wont
[08:09] <mechdave> Evil_saltine, mg_ if you want to redirect std out and std err to a file do it this way: amixer &> amixer.txt
[08:09] <mg_> thank you Evil no worries
[08:10] <Piet> martingoal: you can invoke it somewhere within ~/.bashrc (if this is the shell you use).
[08:10] <mechdave> Evil_saltine, mg_ then just paste the contents of the file
[08:10] <mg_> ok
[08:10] <mg_> ok
[08:10] <Piet> martingoal: i'm not sure this is the conceptionally right way to do it, but it should work.
[08:10] <Evil_saltine> mg_: np, sorry I couldn't help
[08:10] <devinbhullar> hi
[08:10] <mg_> good night evil
[08:10] <devinbhullar> i have ubuntu machine with two NIC
[08:11] <Paul_> Steven: I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but check it out:  The GM965 is blacklisted on compiz due to some people having freezes it seems, but the X3100 works without a problem! Just edit /usr/bin/compiz and comment the line where it blacklists the GM965. Begins with $T= but can't remember the rest now.
[08:11] <devinbhullar> i want all LAN users connected to the internet to go through an external proxy server IP
[08:11] <Piet> martingoal: note though that you can lock yourself out of your account this way.
[08:11] <steven> alright thanks I'll look into that
[08:11] <devinbhullar> without setting anything on the browser
[08:11] <mechdave> devinbhullar, shouldn't be a problem, just use squid on your box
[08:12] <devinbhullar> yes i tried squid but it still requires me to add my servr IP on the browser
[08:12] <devinbhullar> which i dont want to do
[08:12] <steven> it gives me something to work off of haha thanks a lot of paul yet again
[08:12] <devinbhullar> it has to be automated
[08:12] <devinbhullar> what about guidedog
[08:12] <devinbhullar> or shoud i install web min and play with IP tables
[08:13] <Severity1> ebox
[08:14] <martingoal> ok thanks piet !!! thanks for your help, i've only had ubuntu about a week or two so i might not risk it just yet . its only a one liner script. dont want to run before i can walk
[08:14] <Gamarok__> hey guys i kinda had a question how come when i install screenlets and add the togle composting screenlets and activate it i still get some effects without having to install the graphic card driver i mean can any one explain to me how it works
[08:14] <martingoal> but i put what you said in text editor just incase i feel confident
[08:14] <Piet> martingoal: what does it do if you don't mind telling? maybe there's a better way...
[08:14] <jerknextdoor> can anyone help me with openoffice Calc?  i keep getting a password hash error.
[08:14] <svensko> are there any applications BESIDES open office impress that can be used to view/make .ppt files? Thanks!
[08:15] <mg_> command not found
[08:15] <mg_> sigh
[08:15] <elu> i cant see anything when i log into ubuntu screen resolution/refresh issue. xifix doesnt resolve it. I had to install using alternate installation and i still cant resolve this graphical issue
[08:15] <elu> any ideas?
[08:16] <Gamarok__> pls help me or can anyone else point me to other such apps
[08:16] <martingoal> all it says piet , is watch uptime , with a couple of echos . the only command is watch uptime lol
[08:16] <rAUNCH> hello, how do i configure my mouse dpi in ubuntu?
[08:16] <martingoal> so its not complex as i'm a newbie *red face*
[08:16] <Piet> devinbhullar: why does it have to be automated if it's a one-time change?
[08:17] <Gamarok__> hey guys i kinda had a question how come when i install screenlets and add the togle composting screenlets and activate it i still get some effects without having to install the graphic card driver i mean can any one explain to me how it works
[08:17] <mechdave> devinbhullar, Have a look at this --> http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/TransparentProxy.html
[08:17] <Piet> martingoal: ok, and you want to see the output of this on screen or should be written to a logfile or...?
[08:17] <mg_> Ok , I have no sound...I have tried comprehensive sound test with out success
[08:18] <mg_> wow, you guys get innudated all day long i guess
[08:18] <martingoal> on screen piet yep! so its running in terminal straight off the bat
[08:18] <mg_> my soundcard is detected
[08:18] <Baconizer> Greetings!
[08:19] <ubuntu> hello
[08:19] <mg_> i think it is something i ran in azereus
[08:19] <dnyy> I tried installing the new ubuntu on a USB stick (persistent) following the guide on pendrivelinux, but it doesn't boot.  I get an error about missing module and get sent to a busybox shell.  Has anyone worked around this/know what the problem is?
[08:19] <mg_> i am thinking of re-installing
[08:19] <martingoal> if its too complex i will leave it as i only just started trying a script today , i just wondered if it was like windows where you could copy it to a startup type folder
[08:19] <maniel> hi
[08:20] <mechdave> mg_, is there any errors in /var/log/messages?
[08:20] <mg_> i will try
[08:20] <mg_> sudo?
[08:20] <Warr> anyone else think its bull that netflix doesn support streaming to linux?
[08:20] <steven> yessss
[08:20] <maniel> when is rc.local executed?
[08:20] <steven> i totally agree with the linux thing
[08:20] <steven> netflix
[08:21] <maniel> is it executed at all?
[08:21] <mechdave> mg_, if you type my name first it will show red in my screen so I can see your message
[08:21] <Piet> martingoal: there's no "startup folder" on linux, no.
[08:21] <martingoal> i also made a mistake today by thinking home folder meant the folder named home
[08:21] <martingoal> oh ok thanks Piet
[08:21] <Warr> thats all I really have to say.
[08:21] <Piet> martingoal: i assume you would want this command to run inside a window on your graphical desktop, right?
[08:22] <mg_> mechdave sudo first?
[08:22] <maniel> there is ls .config/autostart/ btw, not all dms ate respecting that
[08:22] <mechdave> martingoal, you can start programs at login by adding their full path to .bash_profile in your home directory
[08:22] <martingoal> you mean like a terminal window, piet? if so yep
[08:22] <ccb0x45> hey
[08:22] <ccb0x45> is there any tool I can run
[08:22] <ccb0x45> to see if my hard drive failed?
[08:22] <Gamarok__> hey guys i kinda had a question how come when i install screenlets and add the togle composting screenlets and activate it i still get some effects without having to install the graphic card driver i mean can any one explain to me how it works
[08:23] <Guest97220> Here's a scenario, I'd like to see under the hood as to what happens when I switch my primary and secondary mouse buttons
[08:23] <Guest97220> So that I can run these commands in CLI
[08:23] <Piet> martingoal: exactly. :) i did not mean to use this term since you said you were new to linux
[08:23] <mg_> mechdave command not found
[08:23] <Guest97220> instead of having to go through the menu interface every time
[08:23] <mechdave> mg_, should just be able to use tail like this: tail -n 100 /var/log/messages > ~/messages.txt
[08:23] <Piet> martingoal: in this case, you can setup the command to be executed in gnome session manager
[08:23] <ccb0x45> I think my hard drive crashed
[08:24] <ccb0x45> but I am not sure
[08:24] <ccb0x45> is there any sort of tool I can run from a cd
[08:24] <ccb0x45> to check it out
[08:24] <Flynsarmy> Is there a way to get nautilus tabs to switch when you ctrl+tab like in every other program known to man besides gedit?
[08:24] <DarkRavin> it should be /msg <name> <message>
[08:24] <mechdave> mg_, then use gedit to open messages.txt and paste it
[08:24] <Guest97220> So how do I switch primary/secondary mouse buttons over the command line
[08:25] <elu> i cant se ubuntu login page its just a mess or garbled colours. i presume i need to update non released drivers.
[08:25] <martingoal> ok piet i will take a look! - do i have to create this file, mechdave?
[08:25] <mg_> ok gedit
[08:25] <Piet> martingoal: run "gnome-session-properties" from within a terminal window to configure the gnome session manager and the commands it will execute on startup
[08:25] <Guest97220> ccb0x45:unmount your drive, and run fsck
[08:25] <martingoal> ok piet, i will give that a whirl now!
[08:26] <mg_> mechdave yikes gottit
[08:26] <ccb0x45> Guest, what specifically should I run
[08:26] <ccb0x45> with fsck
[08:26] <ccb0x45> I have that on a recovery cd
[08:26] <mechdave> martingoal, no, it should already be there, try opening it with text editor (be careful, anything you add to the file will get executed on login, you can bork your login if not careful)
[08:26] <mg_> mechdave its a whole new window
[08:26] <mechdave> mg_, you opened it with gedit?
[08:27] <mg_> mechdave you want it all?
[08:27] <mg_> yes
[08:27] <mg_> mechdave yes
[08:27] <yaycougars> you need to unmount your drive first
[08:27] <yaycougars> then you need to run fsck
[08:27] <ccb0x45> does fcits un mounted
[08:27] <ccb0x45> unmounted
[08:27] <ccb0x45> cause its from a cd
[08:27] <yaycougars> on the logical representation of your drive
[08:27] <martingoal> done piet, thank you, i will log off in a few then give it a try out!
[08:27] <ccb0x45> so like /dev/sda1
[08:27] <martingoal> ok mechdave will just have a looksie
[08:27] <ccb0x45> but can fcsk fix it
[08:27] <martingoal> i will not touch it today but writing what you said in pad too
[08:27] <Piet> martingoal: good luck
[08:27] <ccb0x45> or just tell me if there is a problem
[08:27] <mechdave> mg_, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste it
[08:28] <yaycougars> sounds like that's your drive, is it a SATA drive
[08:28] <Flynsarmy> Anyone? A way to make ctrl+tab switch tabs in nautilus?
[08:28] <ShadowSniper> hey, i got a quick sound question, can some1 give me a hand?
[08:28] <yaycougars> sda1 will be the first partition
[08:28] <mg_> mechdave ok
[08:28] <ccb0x45> yea its a sata drive
[08:28] <yaycougars> on that drive, you want to run it on the entire drive
[08:28] <yaycougars> not just that partition
[08:28] <ccb0x45> so what would it probably be
[08:28] <ccb0x45> /dev/sda?
[08:28] <ccb0x45> or ada?
[08:28] <ccb0x45> ata I mean
[08:28] <yaycougars> /dev/sda
[08:28] <martingoal> ok brb going to test then i will be back!
[08:29] <ccb0x45> k
[08:29] <ccb0x45> can fcsk fix anything
[08:29] <ccb0x45> or just tell me if its fucked up
[08:29] <yaycougars> you can read all about it by doing a man on fsck
[08:29] <yaycougars> man fsck
[08:29] <ccb0x45> ok
[08:29] <yaycougars> it will attempt to fix your drive
[08:29] <mechdave> !language > ccb0x45
[08:29] <ShadowSniper> can someone please help with a sound problem?
[08:30] <yaycougars> but it's not guaranteed, and keep in mind
[08:30] <ccb0x45> oops
[08:30] <ccb0x45> sorry bout the language
[08:30] <yaycougars> if you really value your data, you should probably clone your drive first
[08:30] <ccb0x45> let me give fcsk a try
[08:30] <ccb0x45> Iwell
[08:30] <ccb0x45> well
[08:30] <ccb0x45> if the hd crashed
[08:30] <FloodBot2> ccb0x45: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:30] <ccb0x45> I think the data is lost
[08:30] <yaycougars> onto another drive and try to recover your data from the cloned drive, as fsck but be destructive
[08:30] <yaycougars> it's like an operation pretty much, it's got its risks
[08:30] <yaycougars> see what  i mean
[08:30] <mechdave> ccb0x45, no worries, just something to keep in mind... This is a family room :)
[08:30] <ccb0x45> ill risk it, I dont have a big enough drive to clone it
[08:30] <Piet> ShadowSniper: not unless you tell us what the problem is. don't ask to ask. ;-)
[08:31] <yaycougars> ok, so first unmount it
[08:31] <ccb0x45> lets see what happens
[08:31] <ccb0x45> when I fcsk it
[08:31] <yaycougars> don't run fsck against a mounted disk
[08:31] <yaycougars> umount it first
[08:32] <ccb0x45> its not mounted
[08:32] <ShadowSniper> Piet, alright, well i've got 6 output jacks on my mb but the one that is set for output is dead and i was tryen to figure out how to set another one of the ports as a line out
[08:32] <ccb0x45> ubuntu wont load
[08:32] <ccb0x45> I have to do it from a cd
[08:32] <yaycougars> are you sure
[08:32] <mechdave> yaycougars, does fsck complain if it is mounted and exit?
[08:32] <mg_> mechdave crap i lost it
[08:32] <Flynsarmy> Anyone? A way to make ctrl+tab switch tabs in nautilus?
[08:32] <yaycougars> run sudo fdisk -l to be sure
[08:32] <mg_> hold on
[08:32] <ccb0x45> well if I am booting from a linux system restore disk, I doubt its mounted
[08:32] <ccb0x45> let me try
[08:33] <yaycougars> ok, so it's probably not mounted
[08:33] <Piet> ShadowSniper: huh, i guess you'd have to solder a little on your motherboard then
[08:33] <yaycougars> but always verify
[08:33] <oyayitsminh> I LOVE YOU :)
[08:33] <steven> oh hey
[08:33] <oyayitsminh> oops
[08:33] <oyayitsminh> -_-
[08:33] <mechdave> ccb0x45, the live disk won't mount the hard disks automatically
[08:33] <ccb0x45> yea
[08:33] <ccb0x45> its not actually the live disk, its another linux system restore
[08:33] <Piet> ShadowSniper: oh 6 _output_ jacks. i see, that's a lot, must be a very special board
[08:33] <senPai> hi
[08:33] <asfjio> hello, i'm isung firefox 2.x and now i want to update to 3.x. i've read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion#Manual%20Install but there is no word about uninstalling the previous version. can someone help?
[08:34] <ShadowSniper> Piet, their able to be changed, the driver software in windows lets me pick, and i imagine i just need to play with the modprobe info
[08:34] <indus> hi
[08:34] <ccb0x45> ok
[08:34] <mechdave> asfjio, you should just be able to upgrade without uninstall
[08:34] <sexcopter> hi, i want to mount an nfs share (via command line is fine) and set myself (james) as owner of the whole share. What are the options for doing this?
[08:34] <asfjio> mechdave: how?
[08:34] <ShadowSniper> Piet, not really, their just standard 3.5 mm jacks
[08:34] <mechdave> indus, Welcome
[08:34] <ccb0x45> it said: superblock invalid, trying backup blocks, bad magic number in super block while trying to open /dev/sda
[08:34] <indus> asfjio: just delete the firefox folder where you installed it,if you have installed manually
[08:35] <ShadowSniper> Piet, most mbs come with 6-8 these days
[08:35] <indus> mechdave: hi good to see you
[08:35] <yaycougars> ok, run fsck against the first partition, instead of the whole drive
[08:35] <khermans> asfjio, dpkg -l | grep -i firefox
[08:35] <yaycougars> sda1
[08:35] <mg_> mechdave......can you just reccomend a place to reinstall?
[08:35] <yaycougars> not sda
[08:35] <Piet> ShadowSniper: hmm, if anyone knows how to achieve that on linux then it's the alsa developers, i'd think: http://www.alsa-project.org/
[08:35] <mechdave> asfjio, All I have done before is sudo apt-get install firefox
[08:35] <mg_> mechdave its too much now
[08:35] <ccb0x45> sda1 worked
[08:35] <mechdave> mg_, what do you mean re install
[08:35] <ccb0x45> says recovering journal
[08:36] <mg_> mechdave i mean everything
[08:36] <mg_> Ubuntu
[08:36] <asfjio> khermans: this shows me 6 rows is that normal?
[08:36] <ShadowSniper> Piet, would i need to do anything with pulse audio?
[08:36] <Piet> ShadowSniper: yes, 6 to 8 jacks, but not 6-8 _output_ jacks
[08:36] <mechdave> Lol, my pc speaker is beeping every time I hit a key :/
[08:36] <khermans> asfjio, yes now just locate which packages are related to firefox 2 and remove them
[08:36] <ccb0x45> yaycougars, is this something I should just leave over night
[08:36] <ccb0x45> like it will take a while?
[08:36] <asfjio> khermans: remove you mean just delete?
[08:37] <khermans> asfjio, dpkg manages packages for you -- removal is done by dpkg
[08:37] <Piet> ShadowSniper: maybe, but only after you set it up on alsa
[08:37] <khermans> asfjio, just ask it to do what you want
[08:37] <senPai> just remove on synaptic
[08:37] <ShadowSniper> Piet, alright
[08:37] <yaycougars> shouldn't take very long
[08:37] <mechdave> mg_, you can just back up all your home directory and reboot into a live disk and reinstall that way
[08:37] <yaycougars> how big is the disk
[08:37] <ccb0x45> its a 500gig drive
[08:37] <yaycougars> wow that's a lot of porn
[08:37] <ccb0x45> haha
[08:37] <Piet> ShadowSniper: pulseaudio is 'just' a sounds server, it does mixnmojo, but the software that directly interacts with your hardware is alsa
[08:37] <mg_> mechdave command?
[08:37] <indus> yeah hehe'
[08:37] <ccb0x45> it was my mythtv box
[08:38] <ccb0x45> 98% full
[08:38] <mechdave> funnily enough it only beeps in xchat
[08:38] <yaycougars> you can check what it's doing
[08:38] <yaycougars> under the hood
[08:38] <ShadowSniper> Piet, alright, thats what i thought but i wasnt sure
[08:38] <yaycougars> I think /var/log/syslog or dmesg but log what fsck is doing
[08:38] <yaycougars> honestly I'm not sure where you'd find logging data for fsck, anyone? anyone? bueller?
[08:38] <ccb0x45> ill just let it go over night
[08:39] <ccb0x45> nm
[08:39] <ccb0x45> just finished
[08:39] <mg_> mechdave i have been of this sound thing foir over a month
[08:39] <yaycougars> any output?
[08:39] <asfjio> khermans: 4 of this 6 rows are version 2.x am i supposed to remove all of them? and another what is this ubufox and do i need it?
[08:39] <mg_> mechdave way too long
[08:39] <ccb0x45> attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to re-open /dev/sda1
[08:39] <mechdave> mg_, copy all your home directory to a usb stick like this:  cp -rv $HOME/ /media/usb-stick
[08:39] <ccb0x45> io manager magic bad!
[08:39] <Seven-7> Is there a way to view my COPY/PASTE history?
[08:39] <yaycougars> https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/where-the-fsck-cumulative-logs-lie-666914/
[08:39] <yaycougars> there we go
[08:39] <mg_> mechdave ok
[08:39] <ccb0x45> guessing
[08:39] <ccb0x45> thats probably a bad sign
[08:39] <mechdave> mg_, what sound card do you have?
[08:40] <mg_> nvidia
[08:40] <yaycougars> One place you should look for further information is in the lost+found directory on the partition which you ran fsck against. fsck places orphan files and directories in lost+found.
[08:40] <Piet> yaycougars: /var/log/fsck.log surprisingly ;-)
[08:40] <mg_> mechdave nvidia3
[08:40] <mechdave> mg_, model?
[08:40] <yaycougars> Cool, you see anything useful in there?
[08:40] <Jinxed553> which packages do I need to install the g++ compiler so I can run c++ programs I can't even get hello world to run right now
[08:40] <ccb0x45> yaycougars, does that message mean my drive is just screwed?
[08:40] <mg_> mechdave yeah not sure about that
[08:41] <yaycougars> what message
[08:41] <mg_> mechdave which is prob
[08:41] <mechdave> mg_, isn't that a video card?
[08:41] <maniel> how to make sure rc.local is launched at startup?
[08:41] <khermans> asfjio, ubufox is an ubuntu addon for firefox
[08:41] <ccb0x45> fsck.ext3: attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to re-open /dev/sda1, io manager magic bad!
[08:41] <khermans> asfjio, helps you click on apt:// links
[08:41] <mg_> mechdave  it might be tied to videio
[08:41] <Piet> mechdave: that should be 'cp -pr foo bar'
[08:42] <mg_> nvidia iws sound
[08:42] <mg_> mechdave nvidia is sound?
[08:42] <indus> i didnt know nvidia makes sound cards
[08:42] <mechdave> mg_, Piet just corrected me... that should be 'cp -pr foo bar'
[08:42] <indus> indus: i guess nforce?
[08:42] <yaycougars> do you see any I/O errors in the logs?
[08:42] <mg_> mechdave :)
[08:42] <mechdave> mg_, can you paste the output from lspci?
[08:43] <ccb0x45> I dont know if it wrote any logs
[08:43] <mg_> mechdave yeah i will try
[08:43] <ccb0x45> I am on a cd
[08:43] <asfjio> khermans: thank you
[08:43] <ccb0x45> it cant write to it
[08:43] <ccb0x45> ah
[08:43] <khermans> asfjio, np
[08:43] <ccb0x45> I just spit out dmesg
[08:43] <ccb0x45> tons of IO errors
[08:43] <mechdave> mg_, right back... minus beeps :)
[08:43] <yaycougars> I think you'll need to try to rescue that disk
[08:44] <yaycougars> it sounds like you have a disk with hardware issues
[08:44] <khermans> asfjio, dpkg -l | grep -i firefox | grep '2.' | while read line; do sudo aptitude remove $(echo "$line" | awk '{print $2}'); done
[08:44] <yaycougars> you can use dd_rescue
[08:44] <yaycougars> that will try to copy what it can to another disk and give up on bad bits
[08:44] <ccb0x45> damn
[08:44] <ccb0x45> well that sucks
[08:44] <yaycougars> you can try running e2fsck
[08:45] <yaycougars> but that's almost the same as fsck really
[08:45] <|ntegra|1> how do I "cp rec000012.bz2-rec000092.bz2 /new_dir/" ?
[08:45]  * mechdave thinks khermans is a shell wizard :)
[08:45] <yaycougars> it might actually drop some files in lost+found but, yeah not too hopeful
[08:45] <brianski> is there a way to disable that "60 seconds until restart" prompt in jaunty?
[08:45] <ccb0x45> no
[08:45] <Piet> ccb0x45: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=490683
[08:45] <ccb0x45> fcsck e2fsck
[08:45] <mg_> mechdave it says no such directory
[08:45] <ccb0x45> both wont work anymore
[08:45] <yaycougars> http://osdir.com/ml/file-systems.ext3.user/2002-09/msg00158.html
[08:45] <mechdave> just type lspci into terminal
[08:46] <mg_> mechdave sorry i am retarded
[08:46] <mechdave> mg_, you are new to this... steep learning curve
[08:46] <mg_> yes
[08:46] <mechdave> mg_, I was there once too :)
[08:46] <Jinxed553> !g++
[08:47] <Jinxed553> !packages
[08:47] <yaycougars> sorry ccb hope you get some of your data back
[08:47] <mg_> mechdave is sudo wrong command?
[08:48] <Piet> |ntegra|1: cp rec0000{12..92}.bz2 /new_dir/
[08:48] <mg_> mechdave......~$ cp -pr foo bar
[08:48] <|ntegra|1> Piet: thanx
[08:48] <mechdave> mg_, no sudo is a command to give you root privileges to change some files, in this case you do not need it
[08:49] <mg_> mechdave with sudo in front]
[08:49] <divxclub> hi guys !!!! In 8.10 I just love when there is new updates available I have this caution appear from task bar, same thing if I am connecting to Internet from task bar there is this thing appear and tells me. Now in 9.04 I don't see no announcements like that. Can I turn them on ? Thank you !
[08:49] <khermans> anyone got any really tough questions?  :-)
[08:49] <mechdave> mg_, Aha, hang on... where is your usb stick mounted?
[08:49] <mg_> mechdave so just it all its own
[08:49] <yaycougars> khermans I have one
[08:50] <mg_> mechdave USB stick mounted in my CPU i guess
[08:50] <khermans> yaycougars, shoot
[08:50] <Jinxed553> Could someone please help me figure out why I can't compile anything within ubuntu
[08:50] <mechdave> mg_, an easier way is to open up home directory from the places menu and double click the usb stick icon on the desktop
[08:50] <mg_> mechdave OK
[08:50] <mechdave> mg_, that will open up two windows
[08:51] <yaycougars> Where are menu action items logged? ie let's say I do a System -> Preferences -> Mouse -> Mouse Orientation=left-handed
[08:51] <mechdave> mg_, then in the home directory window click on view and then check show all files box
[08:51] <ccb0x45> yep
[08:51] <yaycougars> I want to know exactly how this happened under the hood so I can do this on the command line
[08:51] <ccb0x45> my hard drive is pretty screwed
[08:51] <mg_> mechdave oh did IO  mention that i have Kubuntu since an hour agou :)
[08:51] <khermans> yaycougars, .gconf
[08:52] <asfjio> khermans: is it bad to use this way to install firefox https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion#Manual%20Install ?
[08:52] <Piet> Jinxed553: which error message do you run into while trying to compile?
[08:52] <khermans> asfjio, you should always try to leverage repositories of software so you get automatic updates
[08:52] <mechdave> mg_, One hour eh? that is what you are running now?
[08:52] <mg_> mechdave which is nice bur=t i am learning
[08:52] <khermans> asfjio, dont do manual installs
[08:52] <maniel> hi, how to make rc.local run at startup?
[08:52] <mg_> mechdave kubuntu
[08:52] <mg_> mrchdave lol
[08:53] <khermans> maniel, it runs automatically alreayd
[08:53] <mg_> oh boy
[08:53] <mechdave> mg_, ok it is a little different to how I told you, but we need to see the hidden files in your home directory
[08:53] <mg_> mechdave ok
[08:54] <acuster> hello everyone, how can we tell apt that we do not wish to install a particular package during future upgrades?
[08:54] <divxclub> anyone ?
[08:54] <mg_> is that me?
[08:54] <mechdave> mg_, I have to go soon, hot date tonight :)
[08:54] <acuster> or more accurately, what program's man page do I need to read?
[08:54] <mg_> mechdave good luck
[08:54] <DJones> !pinning | acuster This might be what you're looking for
[08:55] <khermans> acuster, apt-pinning
[08:55] <acuster> thank you
[08:55] <yaycougars> khermans:thanks
[08:55] <yaycougars> I see this <entry name="left_handed" mtime="1242372529" type="bool" value="true"/>
[08:55] <asfjio> khermans: the problem is that i'm using old version of ubuntu and i can't update. so is this my only way to have firefox updated?
[08:55] <mechdave> mg_, so do you have those 2 windows open?
[08:55] <khermans> mechdave, check out PlentyOfFish.com
[08:55] <mg_> mechdave no worries i van go a day or two more
[08:55] <yaycougars> I can change this to right_handed, but in one command, I suppose I'll have to use sed or something, and I don't know sed really well
[08:55] <mg_> mechdave not yet
[08:55] <maniel> khermans: i have no "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)" message in console when i press ctrl+alt+f8 and also program i want to launch from there isn't present on ps fax output
[08:56] <mg_> mechdave i will
[08:56] <yaycougars> can you figure out a one-line or a shell script that would swap left to right hands?
[08:56] <mechdave> khermans, Thanks... like the site says Plenty of fish :)
[08:56] <yaycougars> ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse
[08:56] <yaycougars> that's the finle
[08:56] <yaycougars> file rather
[08:56] <khermans> asfjio, probably so -- why cant you upgrade ubuntu?
[08:56] <ottoshmidt> Openoffice.org Database won't start after update to 3.1.0 on Jackalope
[08:56] <Piet> acuster: also look into man (8) aptitude, "forbid-version"
[08:57] <mechdave> mg_, I have about half hour left to spend here
[08:57] <khermans> maniel, does rc.local work if you execute it manually?
[08:57] <maniel> khermans: manual execution works;-)
[08:57] <mg_> mechdave sorry i cant find palces
[08:57] <divxclub> hi guys !!!! In 8.10 I just love when there is new updates available I have this caution appear from task bar, same thing if I am connecting to Internet from task bar there is this thing appear and tells me. Now in 9.04 I don't see no announcements like that. Can I turn them on ? Thank you !
[08:57] <mg_> geez
[08:58] <mg_> i cant find places
[08:58] <khermans> yaycougars, sed "s/left_handed/right_handed/g" ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse
[08:58] <mg_> mechdave applications?
[08:58] <khermans> yaycougars, if the results looks good, pass the -i option alos to sed and it will make the change
[08:59] <khermans> maniel, you might have to do some upstart troubleshooting then
[08:59] <ghindo> divxclub: From 9.04 onwards, the notification system has changed.  Everything is handled under the notify-osd spec
[08:59] <asfjio> khermans: it is too complicated, but it is some company politic that use a kind of modificated ubuntu image and it is updated only when they choose to update. if i try to update i take a risk to broke my login system (kerberos or some kind of this). i'm not prety sure about it.
[08:59] <ghindo> !notify-osd | divxclub
[08:59] <yareckon> dude, what the hell is this mysql-server 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.1
[08:59] <asfjio> khermans: thank you again
[08:59] <acuster> Piet, thanks also
[08:59] <yareckon> since when are we naming packages like that...
[08:59] <yareckon> and it fails to upgrade btw
[08:59] <khermans> asfjio, a nice trick is to attempt adding the latest repository for januty, aptitude update, install firefox, then set mback your repos
[09:00] <mechdave> Anyone familiar with kde, mg_ needs a little help with backing up his home directory... I only know Gnome :(
[09:00] <Jinxed553> Could someone please help me figure out why I can't compile anything within ubuntu
[09:00] <khermans> asfjio, i dont know what version of ubuntu you are currently on, but if it tries to upgrade lots of other packages in addition to firefox, dont do it
[09:00] <mechdave> Jinxed553, you need to install build-essential
[09:00] <mg_> mechdave no worries go do what you need maybe we talk again
[09:00] <yareckon> Jinxed553, do you have all of the
[09:00] <yareckon> what he said
[09:01] <Jinxed553> mechdave: I have that installed
[09:01] <Jinxed553> acording to synaptic
[09:01] <mechdave> mg_, sorry mate, I don't know enough about kde :(
[09:01] <mg_> mechdave thank you for helping
[09:01] <mechdave> Jinxed553, what are you trying to compile?
[09:01] <v4us> Hi. I have a problem with laptop_mode. It doesn't rerun after sleep and prolly in boot state. I changesd /etc/default/acpi-support but it doens't helps. It seems like i should change acpid settings, but i cannot find it
[09:01] <Piet> Jinxed553: i tried, you diod not respond
[09:01] <maniel> khermans: is there any possibility that rc.local gets executed before all modules i've placed in /etc/modules load?
[09:02] <Jinxed553> Piet: I'm sorry i keep going back and forth trying things but nothing was working
[09:02] <khermans> maniel, its possible
[09:02] <asfjio> khermans: i'd better stay when nothing is broker, because i don't want to have problems with the administrators.
[09:02] <khermans> maniel, upstart is not linear
 Jinxed553: which error message do you run into while trying to compile?
[09:03] <khermans> asfjio, why not?  :-)  dont you enjoy a good challenge?  ;-P
[09:03] <Piet> Jinxed553: also: how (exact command line) and what are you trying to compile?
[09:03] <Jinxed553> http://mibbit.com/pb/H8SFMu
[09:03] <maniel> what i'm trying to launch in rc.local is xboxdrv an userspace driver for  xbox[360] controllers that needs uinput module
[09:03] <khermans> asfjio, you think the sysadmins are god?
[09:03] <Jinxed553> g++ helloworld.cpp
[09:03] <Piet> Jinxed553: so you are about to learn c++?
[09:04] <Jinxed553> Piet: well I know some c++ but I just copied/pasted a  helloworld file from online to make sure I wasn't doing it wrong
[09:04] <asfjio> khermans: the fact that i'm using outdated ubuntu prove that they are NOT god.
[09:04] <duh_> can any1 plz help me with CS 1.6 . seems like it can't find network...can't connect to any server at all =\ . Ubuntu 9.04, wine 1.1.20
[09:05] <|ntegra|1> Piet: how could I use a wildcard in there too (cp rec000012 rec000022 - rec000202 rec000212 /new_dir/)
[09:06] <mg_> alsa is my problem
[09:06] <Piet> Jinxed553: have you already done this? sudo aptitude install build-essential
[09:06] <v4us> mg_, have you tried to rebuid it?
[09:06] <Piet> Jinxed553: aside from this, i don't think this channel is the #1 location for getting support in improving your programming skills. better ask in #cpp
[09:06] <khermans> asfjio, yeah, so screw them ;-P  they try to take away your freedom
[09:06] <khermans> asfjio, dont put up with that crap
[09:07] <mg_> at one time i was running ubuntu.but know i have kubuntu
[09:07] <Jinxed553> Piet: I checked in the package manager and it says build-essential is installed
[09:07] <mg_> which is njice dont get me wrong
[09:07] <v4us> mg_:try this script  http://aldeby.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/alsa_setup it helped me
[09:07] <khermans> Jinxed553, /join ##c++
[09:07] <mg_> v4us ok i will
[09:07] <Jinxed553> khermans: it is not a c++ syntax question it is how to get the compiler in ubuntu
[09:08] <khermans> Jinxed553, g++
[09:08] <Jinxed553> and I am in c++ and no one has responded
[09:08] <khermans> Jinxed553, what is your error?
[09:08] <Jinxed553> I am just trying to get the g++ compiler installed (I am only testing with a hello world file_
[09:08] <Jinxed553> khermans: http://mibbit.com/pb/H8SFMu
[09:08] <Piet> |ntegra|1: cp rec000012 rec0000{22..99} rec000{100..202} rec000212 /new_dir/
[09:09] <mg_> wow
[09:09] <|ntegra|1> that looks mighty interesting
[09:09] <v4us> Hm,,, Guys do you have any ideas about laptop_mode autorun?
[09:09] <Jinxed553> http://mibbit.com/pb/THJct0 (the helloworld file)

[09:10] <asfjio> khermans: :)
[09:10] <Jinxed553> khermans: did that
[09:10] <Jinxed553> still doesn't work
[09:10] <maxagaz> how to add user foo to the group vboxusers ?
[09:10] <Chr|s> how do I edit the kernel through menuconfig?
[09:10] <khermans> maxagaz, edit /etc/group
[09:10] <mg_> it says for ubuntu can i do this with kubuntu?
[09:11] <Piet> maxagaz: sudo adduser foo vboxusers
[09:11] <mg_> meh. i go for it
[09:11] <khermans> Jinxed553, you need the -dev packages
[09:11] <khermans> Jinxed553, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=iostream.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=jaunty&arch=any
[09:11] <mg_> btw you guys know all the code...impressive
[09:12] <khermans> Jinxed553, sudo aptitude install libstdc++6-4.2-dev
[09:12] <khermans> Jinxed553, depends on your version of g++ though
[09:12] <Jinxed553> khermans: so I shouldn't do that sudo libst... comand yet
[09:13] <|ntegra|1> Piet: hang on,, I didn't explain myself proper,, the files are rec0000*2, rec0001*2, rec0002(0&1)2
[09:13] <khermans> Jinxed553, no
[09:13] <|ntegra|1> just the 21 of them, then I've got 116 of them in total to cp and cat and tar
[09:13] <roadi> well i need some helpe.... i used the 4th cd/dvd for the ubuntu image and always get an error in the beginning of the installation that a .deb files is corrupt - but the md5 sum is okay. ... any hints? btw the hardware is new.
[09:13] <khermans> Jinxed553, yo ucan try it
[09:14] <Piet> |ntegra|1: cp rec0000*2 rec0001*2 rec0002{0,1}2 /new_dir/
[09:14] <mg_>  apt-get -y install build-essential ncurses-dev gettext

[09:16] <Jinxed553> khermans: Piet Here is what packages I have installed: http://www.picturepush.com/public/1727195
[09:16] <mg_> v4us i am just going to reinstall
[09:16] <ocs>  hi. I have an external usb HD, formatted to ext3. When plugged, the OS sees it. but I can't copy or create files into it. What can I do ?
[09:16] <Jinxed553> khermans: Can you tell which version of the dev I need from that?
[09:16] <v4us> mg_ i wish you good luck!
[09:16] <Piet> |ntegra|1: cp rec000{0..1}{0..9}2 rec0002{0,1}2 /new_dir/

[09:16] <khermans> Jinxed553, paste at ubuntu please
[09:16] <mg_> 4vus where can i do that since i have no cd-rom?
[09:16] <Piet> |ntegra|1: i think that's what you really want
[09:17] <v4us> I have a problem with laptop_mode. It doesn't rerun after sleep and prolly in boot state. I changesd /etc/default/acpi-support but it doens't helps. It seems like i should change acpid settings, but i cannot find it Any idea?
[09:17] <BePhantom> hi guys, i need help. I created a file but it has only root access, how can i change its permission so im able to modify it?
[09:17] <Jinxed553> khermans: what is the image pastebin for ubuntu?
[09:17] <Piet> |ntegra|1: you can test by replacing "cp" by "echo"
[09:17] <SydneyGuy> Hello guys
[09:17] <khermans> Jinxed553, you dont need an image, just use command line
[09:17] <Jinxed553> Idk how to check which packages I have for g++ on command line khermans
[09:17] <|ntegra|1> Piet: that's beautiful, thanx, I'll go and mull over that syntax awhile (it worked perfectly)
[09:18] <khermans> v4us, check out /etc/acpi.d folder
[09:18] <BePhantom> how can i remove root permission to a file?
[09:18] <khermans> Jinxed553, just install the one i told you then try to rebuild your helloworld
[09:18] <Piet> |ntegra|1: it's the same as this: cp rec0000{0..9}2 rec0001{0..9}2 rec0002{0,1}2 /new_dir/
[09:19] <SydneyGuy> I've just started using GPG .. on Ubuntu 9.04 .. Using GNU Privacy Assistant .. it says Owner Trust Ultimate .. Key Validity Fully Valid .. but using GnuPG on my Mac OS X .. Validity is unknown .. can anyone help me here please

[09:19] <Jinxed553> khermans: will that interfere with the 6-4.3-dev package I have installed
[09:19] <swiftarrow> I'm reading the page on CTAN, and it says that an image, marginpar, etc was lost.  But I get the following: http://pastebin.tlhiv.org/lqQx21LX

[09:19] <nathan> is it possible to install ubuntu 9.04 from the normal install dvd without installing xorg?  i just want a base install.
[09:19] <FloodBot2> Buiss: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:19] <swiftarrow> mg_, Microsoft already did
[09:19] <Buiss> synaptic can download it.What could be the problem?
[09:19] <mg_> lol
[09:19] <SydneyGuy> My key is : DCC6CDA4
[09:20] <v4us> khermans there is no this foolder, but acpid runs
[09:20] <BePhantom> khermans, ok, done. Do i need to reboot?
[09:20] <khermans> nathan-_, prolly
[09:20] <SydneyGuy> khermans : yes
[09:20] <joeDeuce> .
[09:20] <khermans> SydneyGuy, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnupg-user.xml
[09:21] <khermans> v4us, sorry /etc/acpi/*
[09:21] <khermans> BePhantom, no
[09:21] <khermans> BePhantom, never reboot unless kernel !
[09:21] <SydneyGuy> By the way .. I made the ID on Ubuntu . and I exported both the private and public keys to a TrueCrypt USB .. and then Imported them to my Mac OS X
[09:21] <Guest5271> khermans: do you know how i can go about doing it?
[09:21] <BePhantom> khermans, then it didnt work
[09:22] <khermans> Guest5271, doing what?
[09:22] <khermans> BePhantom, it still didnt find iostream.h or you get cout/endl errors?
[09:22] <wormse> is it possible to install ubuntu with the normal install dvd but without installing any of the xorg stuff?  i just want a very minimal install.
[09:22] <BePhantom> khermans, no error in the terminal
[09:23] <SydneyGuy> I've just started using GPG .. on Ubuntu 9.04 .. Using GNU Privacy Assistant .. it says Owner Trust Ultimate .. Key Validity Fully Valid .. but using GnuPG on my Mac OS X .. Validity is unknown .. can anyone help me here please
[09:23] <SydneyGuy> My key is : DCC6CDA4
[09:23] <SydneyGuy> By the way .. I made the ID on Ubuntu . and I exported both the private and public keys to a TrueCrypt USB .. and then Imported them to my Mac OS X
[09:23] <Piet> wormse: that'S what the alternate cd is for
[09:23] <wormse> i've tried the alternate cd, actually a few times, but every time it gives me errors saying it cant find files and such
[09:23] <Piet> !repeat > SydneyGuy
[09:24] <khermans> wormse, at the first boot, go into the options -- might be F2
[09:24] <Piet> wormse: while installing or after the installation is complete?
[09:24] <khermans> BePhantom, doesnt that mean it worked?  ;-)
[09:24] <Buiss> I am able to use IRC, i am able to browsw www.ubuntu.com But no other sites are shown even google. I just installed sea monkey synaptic can download it.What could be the problem?
[09:24] <wormse> while it is installing.  i get to the part where it is extracting files and such, then it starts pumping out all kinds of errors
[09:25] <mg_> OK then where can i get a new ubuntu?
[09:25] <mg_> sourceforge?
[09:25] <khermans> Buiss, you could try running wireshark to find out whats going wrong
[09:25] <Piet> wormse: do as khermans says
[09:25] <wormse> F4 is modes, i get normal, safe graphics mode, use driver update disc and OEM install.
[09:25] <Buiss> khermans: A little more detail..please
[09:26] <mg_> I  loaned out my cdrom and never got it back
[09:26] <khermans> wormse, you *might* be able to do it in OEM mode
[09:26] <khermans> wormse, i have never used the install DVD though
[09:26] <khermans> Buiss, sudo aptitude install wireshark; sudo wireshark
[09:26] <mg_> sourceforge?
[09:26] <Piet> mg_: download or order a new one
[09:27] <Buiss> khermans: yES I HAVE DONE THAT.. GOING ON
[09:27] <Piet> mg_: www.ubuntu.com
[09:27] <mg_> piet download from where?
[09:27] <mg_> thank you
[09:27] <Piet> mg_: see also the channel topic
[09:27] <mg_> piet ok i will
[09:28] <mg_> piet thanks bye
[09:29] <Buiss> Where i can get the man pages for kmap, kmalloc etc?
[09:29] <wormse> thanks for the help.  i'll just try to download the iso again, and burn it again.  everything i've searched for says it cant be done
[09:29] <Buiss> Specifically the kernel lib functions.. manpages-dev is missing all those
[09:29] <KingKimi> increase the capactiy of history command ?
[09:30] <joeDeuce> dsfgdfg
[09:30] <khermans> Buiss, run wireshark and monitor your connections to the net from seamonkey
[09:30] <Piet> wormse: chances are your alternate cd is borken, so that can be a good choice
[09:31] <khermans> Buiss, sudo aptitude install manpages-dev
[09:31] <Buiss> khermans: yes. it just finished download
[09:31] <wormse> ya. i've tried to get it a few times.  from torrents all the times.  so i'll try from a mirror now instead.  hopefully that goes better
[09:31] <Buiss> khermans: man pages-dev don't have kernel functions like kmap
[09:31] <khermans> wormse, there is always a way -- but it might be a huge hack
[09:32] <khermans> wormse, install dvd is good if you have no connection to net, but it gets outdated quite easily
[09:33] <maxagaz> how to import mpg video on ubuntu hardy with kino, it doesn't work, i think i need a package
[09:33] <Buiss> khermans: How to do it in wirwshark? i mean where to start?
[09:34] <Buiss> maxagaz: you should install ffmpeg
[09:34] <Lint01> khermans, Ubuntu is always outdated, there's no backports :(
[09:34] <Piet> KingKimi: echo "export HISTSIZE theamountyouwant >> ~/.bashrc"
[09:34] <khermans> Lint01, yeah there are backports
[09:34] <Piet> KingKimi: change "theamount youwant" into a number
[09:34] <khermans> Lint01, check out the jaunty-backports repository ;)
[09:34] <khermans> Buiss, you need to read the docs on wireshark
[09:35] <Piet> KingKimi: this only applies next time you login
[09:35] <KingKimi> piet that outputs export HISTSIZE 10000 >> ~/.bashrc
[09:35] <Jinxed553> khermans: I installed the dev package still no luck
[09:36] <Piet> KingKimi: ah sorry, getting tired here. try this: echo "export HISTSIZE 10000" >> ~/.bashrc
[09:36] <khermans> Jinxed553, what is the error now?
[09:37] <Jinxed553> same
[09:37] <subsume> sudo crontab -e <-- command not found?
[09:37] <vothanhtien84> vothanhtien84
[09:37] <subsume> why is there no crontab on my fresh ubu install?
[09:38] <Jinxed553> khermans: http://paste.ubuntu.com/172857/
[09:38] <Piet> subsume: desktop or alternate install?
[09:38] <subsume> Piet: server
[09:38] <Jinxed553> Do I need the g++-4.3multilib package?
[09:38] <|ntegra|1> how can I "cat rec* NewFile"?
[09:39] <Buiss> khermans: Can u tell me where i should start? It goes to internet for documentation.. unfortunately
[09:39] <Piet> subsume: hmm, weird. i would have expected it to be installed there. what does "dpkg -l cron|grep cron" give you?
[09:39] <subsume> "E: Couldn't find package crontab"  <-- can someone please direct me back to Sanity Land? What the heck is up?
[09:39] <khermans> Jinxed553, see it found iostream.h now :-)
[09:40] <khermans> Jinxed553, you need to set the right namespace
[09:40] <|ntegra|1> oh, I got it
[09:40] <subsume> Piet: no package found
[09:40] <khermans> Jinxed553, add "using namespace std;" to your helloworld.cpp
[09:40] <KingKimi> Piet, thnx
[09:40] <subsume> Piet: wow. that was simple i guess
[09:40] <subsume> thanks........ i am in shock but thanks.......
[09:40] <khermans> Jinxed553, see the C++ example here -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_world_program
[09:41] <khermans> Jinxed553, you can also just add std::cout instead
[09:41] <khermans> Jinxed553, or std::endl
[09:41] <Piet> subsume: fixed already?
[09:41] <subsume> Piet: apt-get install cron
[09:41] <Piet> subsume: yup :)
[09:41] <Jinxed553> khermans: works now.. thanks
[09:41] <subsume> serious shocker
[09:42] <khermans> Jinxed553, ;-)
[09:42] <Leone> join/  #ubuntu.it
[09:42] <Piet> subsume: weird for a server installation, but maybe ubuntu has another way for it, i'm a debian user mostly.
[09:42] <Leone> join/ #ubuntu.it
[09:43] <khermans> buiss, man wireshark
[09:43] <lesshaste> I just installed adobe-flashplugin
[09:43] <lesshaste> on hardy but it doesn't show up in firefox
[09:43] <subsume> Piet: same. =)
[09:43] <lesshaste> is there something else I need to do to get it to work?
[09:43] <Piet> Leone: try this: /join #ubuntu.it
[09:43] <khermans> subsume, crontab -e is for normal users, not root, right?
[09:44] <Gamarok__> can anybdy direct me to some place where i can learn a littel more about the terminal command
[09:44] <subsume> khermans: not really relevant but in a sense, yes i guess....
[09:44] <Piet> lesshaste: have you restarted firefox?
[09:44] <lesshaste> Piet: yes
[09:44] <subsume> Gamarok__: which terminal command?
[09:44] <Gnea> khermans: crontab -e  assumes to edit whoever the current user's crontab that's calling the command
[09:44] <khermans> subsume, i think it is relevant since you used sudo :-)
[09:44] <subsume> khermans: not relevant to the problem as the command was simply not found
[09:44] <khermans> ah
[09:45] <khermans> subsume, i have crontab on my ubuntu servers
[09:45] <khermans> subsume, dont know why u dont have it
[09:45] <subsume> yeah, i dunno why either. I have Linode so maybe they had a weird install
[09:45] <Gamarok__> in general you know . i am pretty new to linux
[09:45] <khermans> subsume, yeah dude thats a custom install
[09:45] <Piet> lesshaste: see if it shows up in extra -> plugins
[09:45] <subsume> Gamarok__: no dice. hunt the commands down one by one. =)
[09:46] <lesshaste> Piet: how do I find "extras"?
[09:46] <Piet> lesshaste: it should be a main menu
[09:47] <Piet> lesshaste: alternatively enter this in location bar: about:plugins
[09:47] <Piet> Gamarok__: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/basic-commands/C/
[09:47] <MaxTesla> Hello I need help with my graphic drivers, when ever I install them and reboot i get a black screen I currently have Ubuntu 9.04 installing Ubuntu 8.04 also gives a black screen on instalation so I cant even install that
[09:48] <lesshaste> Piet: flash is not there
[09:48] <Piet> Gamarok__: that's just the primer, after that it's hunting down the man pages
[09:48] <lesshaste> Piet: it worked ok with flashplugin-nonfree  .. it's adobe-flashplugin that it can't find
[09:49] <openJSB> hi guys
[09:49] <openJSB> =)
[09:49] <MaxTesla> Hello I need help with my graphic drivers, when ever I install them and reboot i get a black screen I currently have Ubuntu 9.04 installing Ubuntu 8.04 also gives a black screen on installation so I cant even install that
[09:49] <Piet> lesshaste: so why don't you use flashplugin-nonfree?
[09:49] <lesshaste> Piet: it was version 9 and wasn't supporting some websites
[09:50] <lesshaste> Piet:  the adobe one is version 10
[09:50] <lesshaste> Piet: how do I list which files the package installed? So I can see what is going on
[09:50] <karen> im trying to upload a vidio on to one of my sites and it keeps saying page is interupted and reset ,why does this keep happening
[09:50] <Piet> lesshaste: install adobe-flashplugin again, this time on a terminal window, and see if something goes wrong.
[09:50] <lesshaste> Piet: done, no error
[09:50] <Piet> lesshaste: do this: aptitude update && aptitude purge adobe-flashplugin && aptitude install adobe-flashplugin
[09:51] <Blizzerand> Hello there I use Ubuntu and I already have kde on my system .But I would like to reinstall kde desktop environment for some personal reasons !Help please
[09:51] <MaxTesla> Hello I need help with my graphic drivers, when ever I install them and reboot i get a black screen I currently have Ubuntu 9.04 installing Ubuntu 8.04 also gives a black screen on installation so I cant even install that
[09:52] <Piet> Blizzerand: start synaptic, look for the kde package, right click the selection box and select "reinstall"
[09:52] <khermans> lesshaste, adobe-flashplugin is better -- but comes from the partner repository
[09:53] <lesshaste> khermans: how do I list the files it installs?
[09:53] <lesshaste> Piet: done.. no difference
[09:53] <Piet> Blizzerand: actually, this only works if you sill have synaptic installed
[09:53] <Piet> lesshaste: dpkg -L adobe-flashplugin
[09:53] <AlexTM> Hello!
[09:53] <AlexTM> I may have done something rather stupid, I dunno. Thought before I do anything else I better ask. I'm new to ubuntu, I installed it last week, and several days I couldn't use it because of hardware problems. So, complete Newbie to anything Linux. (No to computers itself.)
[09:53] <AlexTM> One of my old hard disks with W2K on them, which I wanted to keep and try to run in a Virtual Box, lost its partition table. I used testdisk to recover the data. Unfortunately, I coped all files into my home directory, which of course is a tad inconvenient. I couldn't move them, either, because they were owned by root. Great.
[09:53] <AlexTM> So what I did was to chown all files in my root directory from owner "root" to owner "me". I throught too late about the fact that on a unix system, there might be drawbacks to this. Are there? Did I condemn my system to a slow and painfull death? Or does it not matter much?
[09:53] <FloodBot2> AlexTM: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:54] <AlexTM> Ops ...
[09:54] <Blizzerand> Piet :Can't I just use the terminal
[09:54] <MaxTesla> Hello I need help with my graphic drivers, when ever I install them and reboot i get a black screen I currently have Ubuntu 9.04 installing Ubuntu 8.04 also gives a black screen on installation so I cant even install that
[09:54] <lesshaste> Piet: http://pastebin.ca/1423498  maybe it just needs a symlink?
[09:54] <linduxed> i subscribed to a bugmail on launchpad, but now i dont want to get the mail anymore
[09:54] <Piet> Blizzerand: sure you can. just to understand correctly, you want to reinstall all kde packages since you think something is wrong with them?
[09:55] <linduxed> but launchpad is a mess to find subscriptions in
[09:55] <AlexTM> Could you read what I wrote or was that eaten before it went out to you?
[09:55] <linduxed> totally cant find it
[09:55] <khermans> AlexTM, would sudo aptitude reinstall ~i work ?
[09:55] <MaxTesla> Ineed help with installing ATI graphic drivers for Ubuntu 9.04
[09:55] <Blizzerand> Piet : All pakages >> Yes
[09:55] <_fb> is there a good hack to 'log' a tty session?  i am aware of script, ttyrec, etc.  what i want is a text file of a large amount of stuff that scrolls on my terminal in an openssl session.  i guess i could set a large buffer in my terminal app and save that.  but is there a more elegant way?
[09:55] <MaxTesla> I need help with installing ATI graphic drivers for Ubuntu 9.04 everything I install gives me a black screen after reboot
[09:55] <AlexTM> khermans: I have not tried anything new, just kept everything open
[09:56] <lesshaste> Piet: I think there should be a link in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins for it to work
[09:56] <linduxed> and when i do find some subscription, it only lists subscriptions that are about individual bugs, ive subscribed to a package
[09:56] <khermans> MaxTesla, sudo jockey-gtk
[09:56] <MaxTesla> khermans will that do they trick?
[09:56] <Piet> Blizzerand: yes, possibly. have a look in your profile directory, there should be 'plugins' directory containing a symlink to the libflashplayer.so in there.
[09:56] <asfjio> khermans: can i ask you another question. what should i install to play mov and mp4 files. i've searched for installing mplayerplug-in, but i got stuck
[09:56] <AlexTM> khermans: What would the command do?
[09:56] <khermans> MaxTesla, it will present you the options
[09:57] <MaxTesla> khermans will type it in now
[09:57] <khermans> AlexTM, reinstall all installed packages
[09:57] <theeclipse> Hi all, does anyone know a video screen capture application ?
[09:57] <Piet> lesshaste: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins would probably work, too, just system wide.
[09:57] <khermans> AlexTM, might reset your permissions correctly for all files
[09:57] <khermans> AlexTM, it wont do any harm
[09:57] <khermans> theeclipse, vnc2swf
[09:57] <ceekays> Hello Ubuntuees!
[09:58] <AlexTM> I will try that then as soon as there is the slightest hint of troubles.
[09:58] <khermans> theeclipse, or xvidcap i think or xscreencap
[09:58] <theeclipse> khermans: Thanks a lot..
[09:58] <MaxTesla> khermans that can also be acomplished by clicking system adminstrator hardware ANYWAY it only displays a modem card not my graphic card
[09:59] <khermans> MaxTesla, then ubuntu did not detect your card
[09:59] <Piet> _fb: what's an openssl session?
[09:59] <ceekays> I've installed Windows XP in Virtual Box and I cannot access flash drives. How do I get out of this mess?
[09:59] <MaxTesla> khermans then how do i get it to detect my card and then install the proper installation files
[09:59] <khermans> MaxTesla, this is jaunty/
[09:59] <khermans> ?
[09:59] <linduxed> i subscribed to a bugmail on launchpad, but now i dont want to get the mail anymore, but launchpad is a mess to find subscriptions in
[09:59] <linduxed> totally cant find it... and when i do find some subscription, it only lists subscriptions that are about individual bugs, ive subscribed to a package
[09:59] <slyder> so i'm trying to install ubuntu i put the disc in and tell it to install the ubuntu loading screen comes up for a bit and then it dumps me into busybox, can someone help me?
[10:00] <MaxTesla> khermans i tried to install ubuntu 8.04 but then i just get black screen at installation should is earch for an even earlier version than 8.04 which version should i install

[10:00] <lesshaste> Piet: total failure .. this is weird
[10:00] <lesshaste> khermans: how did you get it to work?
[10:00] <ceekays> I've installed Windows XP in Virtual Box and I cannot access flash drives. How do I get out of this mess?
[10:00] <devs> i have ubuntu with 2 NIC
[10:00] <khermans> MaxTesla, use 9.04 if you can
[10:00] <khermans> MaxTesla, i presume it is a new ATI card you need a driver for
[10:00] <linduxed> khermans: there is no such link
[10:00] <devs> and i want all LAN users to get access to a proxy server
[10:00] <Piet> theeclipse: also istanbul
[10:00] <devs> how can i configure ?
[10:01] <dr4g> Is there any way i can change the password for a user account without knowing its pass. I was root and done 'su <user>' then 'passwd' and it's asking me for the user account's password, which i don't know.
[10:01] <MaxTesla> khermans I am using Ubuntu 9.04 how do i install grapic card drivers to this without going to black screen at reboot I have ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 HD it is a laptop
[10:01] <theeclipse> Piet: Thanks man..
[10:01] <vinilios> any idea if it is possible to install flash 9 or 10 debug 32bit version (64bit doesn't exist yet) on 64 bit (jaunty) ??
[10:01] <Piet> lesshaste: see if there's a README in /usr/share/doc/adobe-flashplugin
[10:01] <khermans> linduxed, there is a link to the bug, click that link, then go to the right and see subscribers and unsubscribe
[10:02] <Piet> lesshaste: also check if there's a symlink for flash in /etc/alternatives
[10:02] <MaxTesla> Khermans on the sticker it on the physical computer it says Mobility Radeon HD2300 in windows it said Mobility Radeon X2300 HD
[10:02] <linduxed> khermans: which ive tried, its not there either
[10:02] <khermans> dr4g, sudo passwd user
[10:02] <linduxed> khermans: but i found a solution
[10:02] <dr4g> khermans thankyou i will test
[10:03] <khermans> MaxTesla, unless you really care about old ub, why not ubuntu, why not use the latest? ;-)
[10:03] <linduxed> khermans: it says in the mail, "you got this mail because you subscribe to XXXX" so i searched for XXXX and then pressed subscribe, and unchecked the box
[10:03] <AlexTM> khermans: At least reinstalling a package via synaptic does not cause any problems. Will try that with something bigger now.
[10:03] <evesion> hello all
[10:03] <MaxTesla> khermans i will use any linux version that works with my grapphic card, can you help me to get it to work

[10:04] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me how to create a zip in ubuntu ?
[10:04] <lesshaste> Piet: there are lots http://pastebin.ca/1423499
[10:04] <Piet> vinilios: look into the linux32 wrapper application. i cannot guide you further through this, though, try to find a how.to.
[10:04] <Kingsy101> the add to archive button just creates tar files
[10:04] <khermans> linduxed, it also might be a bug "duplicate" email
[10:05] <evesion> I need some help with getting my sound running, I have a HP Pavilion dv-7 2040 notebook with a 3D Sound Blaster Pro compatibel 16-bits integrated card and the sound is not working

[10:06] <xrfang> hello, how do I REMOVE encrypted swap? thanks!
[10:06] <blob_> I have several .c and .h files. What I would like to do: make a shared library (say libmylib.so.1) and then reuse it in another program (say example.c)
[10:07] <lesshaste> Piet: ok so I see http://pastebin.ca/1423500
[10:07] <Piet> xrfang: what do you want to have instead? no swap at all or unencrypted swap?
[10:07] <khermans> gcc --shared ?
[10:07] <Gnea> xrfang: where is it being activated from?
[10:07] <khermans> blob_, gcc -shared
[10:07] <xrfang> Piet: unencrypted swap
[10:07] <xrfang> Gnea: ecrypt-setup-swap
[10:08] <vinilios> Piet, thanks
[10:08] <Gnea> xrfang: hrm, I mean, what file? /etc/fstab?
[10:08] <xrfang> I did that but found that it might have to do with some peculiarities
[10:08] <xrfang> Gnea: that command did it all, I didn't mannually do it
[10:08] <Piet> lesshaste: ok, that can have solved it already
[10:08] <MaxTesla> khermans i will try something now might vanish for some time, thanks for your advice
[10:08] <hacktolive> what does "don't use Enter as punctuation" mean? I can figure it out... ?
[10:08] <blob_> khermans: tried gcc -pedantic -gdwarf-2 -shared -Wl,-soname lib_ipv6.so.1 -o lib_ipv6.so.1.0 [.o files]
[10:08] <Gnea> xrfang: well, I've never done it, but usually, swap is setup at boottime through fstab
[10:09] <blob_> it's not complaining
[10:09] <khermans> blob_, better question for ##c
[10:09] <blob_> ok
[10:09] <xrfang> after using that stuff, I found that my boot splash will not work i.e. the "quiet" param does not work, also, ubuntu always tell me that I am on battery and cannot do fs check, even I am *not* on battery
[10:09] <blob_> thanks
[10:09] <Piet> lesshaste: see where the link points to: sudo ls -la /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so
[10:10] <SteveHill> I have Jaunty, but starting with Intrepid the volume control (physical buttons) stopped working.  What I have to do is use the volume Applet.  Any troubleshooting ideas about getting the hardware to work properly?
[10:10] <rj_> hi, i am new in the IRC thing. has a wubi of 810 on my system. Just wondering if there are different rooms or is this the ONE? If i were to want help on some thing. Do I come here and ask?
[10:10] <lesshaste> Piet: did you mean that? That's java
[10:10] <SteveHill> Sorry,I'm running HP DC6000 laptop.
[10:10] <Piet> hacktolive: it means: please do not press enter in the middle of a sentence. finish what you want to say, only press enter then.
[10:10] <Piet> lesshaste: oh, the same for flash then, sorry :)
[10:10] <blob_> just to give the complete story: then I tried gcc -o example example.c libmylib.so. No warning. But when I run example, doesn't find the lib (which is in the same directory)
[10:11] <xrfang> Gnea: do you know how to manually setup swap? I found something that may help in remove encrypted swap, but then I will need to enable swap again...
[10:11] <evesion> I need some help with getting my sound running, I have a HP Pavilion dv-7 2040 notebook with a 3D Sound Blaster Pro compatibel 16-bits integrated card and the sound is not working
[10:11] <Gnea> rj_: yeah, generally this is the best starting point - if the help you need is found elsewhere, we can help direct you there, if need be - go ahead and ask your question
[10:11] <hacktolive> Piet: I see now... thanks, it makes sense.
[10:11] <lesshaste> Piet: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 2009-05-15 10:06 /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin -> /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
[10:11] <Gnea> !swap | xrfang
[10:12] <xrfang> tks Gnea
[10:12] <rj_> its 2 am here.. i am up because i cant sleep.. not sure if the FIX i need is easy to do or not. but wanted to explore this place to see how it works first.
[10:12] <marin> Yo Yo Yo Wassup mi niggas, I got this 8.04 Obonto, and I tried to install adobe flash player my nigga, do you get me? And now even though I installed flash player, Firefox is still tellin' me it ain't installed, can yo help me bro, please bro?
[10:12] <Piet> lesshaste: was that the one included in the adobe-flashplugin package?
[10:12] <lesshaste> Piet: I think so.. it's all a mystery to me
[10:13] <lesshaste> Piet: http://pastebin.ca/1423498
[10:13] <rj_> I did the download upgrade to version 904 jaunty or what ever.. and my system sounds do not work now. I can get CD's to play.. finally and i can listen to things in flash or video. BUT no system sounds GNEA
[10:13] <Gnea> marin: this is an irc channel, not the street, so please, it would very much help if you would speak in a tone that did not denote a lack of intelligence.  sure, we can help.
[10:13] <Piet> lesshaste: yes, this matches. see if you have access to that file: ls -la /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
[10:14] <lesshaste> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10089232 2009-02-24 19:17 /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
[10:14] <Gnea> marin: what method did you use to install the flash player?
[10:14] <hacktolive> marin: re-start firefox
[10:14] <marin> I followed the link at speedtest.net it was leading to adobe page
[10:14] <Piet> lesshaste: next tie you start firefox, start it from a terminal window, since that may shot you error messages you don't normally get to see
[10:14] <marin> I did
[10:14] <yaris123456789> hello guys i am getting "mkdir: cannot create Too many links" how to fix ?
[10:14] <marin> I restarted firefox
[10:14] <Piet> lesshaste: ok, permissions are fine
[10:14] <marin> And I choosed ubuntu .deb installation Gnea
[10:15] <marin> It insatlled fine, and tehn when I opened Firefox, gone to speedtest.net I get same message, so I reisntalled flash player once again,without success
[10:15] <Kingsy101> if I have a zip on a server, say its called stuff.. ssh to that server and say unzip stuff.zip will it automatically replace everything ?
[10:15] <lesshaste> Piet: http://pastebin.ca/1423504
[10:16] <Gnea> marin: okay, it sounds like you installed it via the website, and that can complicate and break things... there is, however, another way that you can use to install it and make it work, but you'll need to remove the current installation of flash
[10:16] <rj_> Gnea you look mighty busy now.. maybe I can ask that some other time? though i can see.. if I really needed help.. this looks like the place i should come..
[10:16] <marin> Gnea, okay my sis, just tell me how
[10:16] <naught101> where would be the best place to ask for help on firewire stuff?
[10:16] <Gnea> rj_: just ask - if i can't help, i can't, but maybe someone else can - there are over 1,000 people monitoring this channel
[10:17] <Gnea> marin: 'sis'?
[10:17] <naught101> I can't get my miniDV camera working since upgrading from hardy to jaunty
[10:17] <rj_> my question is above.
[10:17] <Piet> lesshaste: i see no error there. i think i don't know any further from here. see if you can find something on an internet search engine or the ubuntu forums...
[10:17] <marin> Gnea, you know, da sister
[10:17] <lesshaste> Piet: ok thanks.. it's a mystery to me.. shame there isn't more logging info you can see
[10:17] <Gnea> marin: I'm a guy.
[10:17] <Piet> less or ask again here summing up what we did so far, so others can try
[10:17] <marin> okay, sorry, I though your female :p
[10:17] <marin> Gnea sounds like girl :p
[10:17] <Gnea> it's not polite to judge based on a book cover.
[10:18] <wwig> hello, someone could help me with a corrupted filesystem please?
[10:18] <Gnea> marin: please see my earlier comment about street talk :)
[10:18] <marin> Okay, sorry, can you please tell me how to unintsall adobe version of flash
[10:18] <Gnea> rj_: pulseaudio may not be setup correctly
[10:18] <Gnea> !pulseaudio | rj_
[10:19] <Gnea> rj_: please keep it to the channel
[10:19] <maxagaz> do you know a system to broadcast two different videos on two screens from one server ?
[10:20] <Gnea> marin: could you please tell us what URL you downloaded it from, exactly?
[10:20] <marin> http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
[10:20] <marin> It says same version is already installed in Package Installer
[10:20] <Gnea> okay, did you save that to your desktop?
[10:21] <lesshaste> can someone remind me how to find which package owns a particular file?
[10:21] <devs> hi

[10:26] <systat> So, Gnea, can you tell e?
[10:26] <Gnea> rj_: did you try System->Settings->Sounds and then tested the different outputs?
[10:26] <Gnea> systat: sorry, haven't found the website
[10:26] <systat> Gnea, you can't find this? http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
[10:27] <Gnea> systat: oh, didn't notice that you'd changed nicks
[10:27] <mosluce_> Hello !!!
[10:27] <Gnea> systat: so, did you save it to your desktop?
[10:27] <mosluce_> I have some problem
[10:28] <mosluce_> about suPHP
[10:28] <Gnea> !ask | mosluce_
[10:28] <simmerz> hi. is jaunty netbook remix supposed to install as lpia or i686?
[10:28] <systat> Nope
[10:28] <dayo> Piet: it was for future reference. for the next install, as it were. :-)
[10:28] <systat> I just opened it with Package Installer Gnea
[10:28] <adam____> hey, how do i extract_ .tar.xz files_
[10:29] <adam____> ?
[10:29] <Gnea> systat: then you need to open a terminal and:  dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep flash   and see what packagename it installed it as
[10:29] <Gnea> adam____: tar xvf file.tar.gz
[10:29] <dayo> adam____: tar xvzf file.tar.gz
[10:30] <Gnea> dayo: 'z' is no longer required
[10:30] <adam____> Gnea, dayo: .tar.xz
[10:30] <SteveHill> Adam: type "tar xvfz file.tgz"
[10:30] <dayo> Gnea: really?
[10:30] <mosluce_> I  install libapache2-mod-suphp  ,  but It's not working  .   Any Site  or  Doc could I  read?
[10:30] <systat> Gnea, here it is ii  adobe-flashplugin                          <IP_ADDRESS>-1                       Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10
[10:30] <Gnea> dayo: try it.
[10:30] <Piet> dayo: what exactly?
[10:30] <grawity> adam____: You're sure it's .xz? Not .gz or .bz2?
[10:30] <Gnea> systat: nice.  now:  sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin
[10:30] <adam____> grawity: yes
[10:30] <dayo> Piet: 21:25:09 #ubuntu: < Piet> dayo: so you're suggesting ehs should use lvm2 or mdadm. true, he could do this, but this doesn't make  it much easier, since he (?) wants to grow an existing partition
[10:30] <Gnea> adam____: what's the whole filename?
[10:31] <dayo> Piet: your post from last nite. just saw it :P
[10:31] <grawity> adam____: And what does 'file blahblah.tar.xz' say?
[10:31] <Piet> dayo: oh, you have a looong backlog
[10:31] <kompi07> jjmjjmjmj
[10:31] <systat> Okay, Gnea, package removed
[10:31] <Da[D]an> hi all people
[10:31] <dayo> Piet: i have a hilight window, split screened into my irssi :-)
[10:31] <Piet> mintux: your file system's journal is somehow missing.
[10:31] <kompi07> hi all
[10:31] <dyiz> ..
[10:31] <Gnea> !flash | systat (good, now please visit this site and follow the directions there)
[10:32] <simmerz> why can't i get UNR as an lpia image?!
[10:32] <Piet> mintux: i guess the last gparted operating did not exit cleanly?
[10:32] <adam____> grawity, Gnea: exherbo-x86-current.tar.xz
[10:32] <dayo> adam____: try renaming it, maybe. never heard of .xz    mv file.tar.xz file.tar.gz    and then tar xvf file.tar.gz
[10:32] <Piet> dayo: quite useful
[10:32] <grawity> adam____: Try using the "file" command on that archive.
[10:32] <mintux> Piet  i think .. im not sure i do a fsck on /dev/sda7 and i got http://pastebin.com/m5e50de9d
[10:33] <adam____> grawity: it says it is data
[10:33] <adam____> dayo, ok
[10:33] <lesshaste> Piet: well I found the answer!
[10:33] <systat> Gnea, there are instructions about each version except the one I have 8.04 :(
[10:33] <Da[D]an> asd
[10:33] <Da[D]an> f
[10:33] <Da[D]an> asd
[10:33] <Da[D]an> fasd
[10:33] <Da[D]an> fas
[10:33] <Da[D]an> df
[10:33] <FloodBot2> Da[D]an: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:33] <Gnea> systat: they'll work
[10:33] <Piet> mintux: you are using linux mint, not ubuntu
[10:34] <Gnea> systat: try the instructions for 8.10
[10:34] <adam____> dayo, it says it does not look like a tar archive
[10:34] <mintux> Piet mint is ubuntu
[10:34] <Gnea> adam____: did you get it from http://www.exherbo.org/?
[10:34] <adam____> yup
[10:34] <Piet> lesshaste: tell me
[10:34] <lesshaste> Piet: and it's really annoying :)
[10:34] <adam____> trying to run it in virtualbox
[10:34] <sebmck> Hi, I dont know if this is the right place or not but im running ubuntu jaunty and i was wondering gparted wont let me resize my ubuntu file system partition ive booted into the gparted live cd does the same thing
[10:35] <dayo> adam____: odd stuff
[10:35] <lesshaste> Piet: it seems that if you have gnash installed firefox just silently ignores adobe flash
[10:35] <DaZ> sebmck: xfs or jfs?
[10:35] <lesshaste> Piet: if you remove gnash before installing flash it works
[10:35] <Gnea> adam____: okay, we don't support that distribution, but if you read the website here: http://www.exherbo.org/gettingstarted.html  it tells you what you need to have to make it work
[10:35] <DaveIngram> hi all... I'm ssh'ed into a server that has 100% of the root partition full... what can I look at to try to clean up some space?
[10:35] <sebmck> DaZ: sorry? the file system i dont know what you mean
[10:35] <Piet> mintux: no it's not, it's a seperate distro.
[10:35] <adam____> Gnea: ok, thanks guys
[10:36] <DaZ> yes, what type is the filesystem
[10:36] <lesshaste> Piet: it;s really quite annoying
[10:36] <sebmck> ext3
[10:36] <Piet> lesshaste: i see, hmm, okay, that would explain it.
[10:36] <Boohbah> DaveIngram: du -h --max-depth=1 /
[10:36] <DaZ> sebmck: it's unmounted?
[10:36] <SteveHill> DaveIngram: I;d start by cleaning up /tmp
[10:36] <sebmck> DaZ: Yes im running the GParted Live CD
[10:37] <sebmck> DaZ: i can downsize it but not enlarge
[10:37] <mintux> Piet mint is fork of ubuntu .. that i think it chanages some thing like bacground add some multi media codecs . but if you can't help me you are free . not need to say something like it
[10:37] <Piet> mintux: anyway, in addition to your journal missing, your superblock is corrupt. this can be restored since there areother copies of the superblock on the file system, but please look this up on your own
[10:38] <DaZ> i don't know :x
[10:38] <DaveIngram> Boohbah: SteveHill: Thanks.. checking now. I suspect it's my mysql database that's filled up that drive... how would I go about taking some of the space off of another partition and giving it to the root partition?
[10:38] <systat> Gnea, I get this Package adobe-flashplugin is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[10:38] <systat> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[10:38] <systat> is only available from another source
[10:38] <systat> E: Package adobe-flashplugin has no installation candidate
[10:38] <FloodBot2> systat: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:38] <Boohbah> DaveIngram: parted
[10:38] <sebmck> hmmm
[10:38] <Piet> mintux: yes, it's a different distribution, that's what i just said.
[10:38] <lesshaste> Piet: apparently it's a bug fixed in jaunty
[10:39] <Piet> lesshaste: ah, good to know
[10:39] <dayo> adam____: i find this on .xz http://linuxgazette.net/162/lindholm.html
[10:39] <lesshaste> Piet: which they won't fix :)  LTS doesn't quite mean what you might think
[10:39] <dayo> adam____: looks like u need the xz tool to unpack .xz archives. figures.
[10:39] <SteveHill> DaveIngram: What I think you are asking is how to change the size of the root partition; for that use fdisk or gparted.
[10:39] <sebmck> anyway if that doesnt work ill just reinstall ubuntu, but does anyone know how to basically backup all of my downloaded programs for conversion to put into another ubuntu installation?
[10:39] <dayo> adam____: first time i've heard of this extension, i tell u
[10:39] <Piet> lesshaste: can you tell systat which repository to activate to get the adobe-flashplugin? is it medibuntu?
[10:40] <Gnea> systat: okay, let's try something different then - could you please pastebin the output of this command:  apt-cache search flash
[10:40] <SteveHill> I have sometimes gotten away for a short time, by making a hard link to another partition.
[10:40] <systat> ? I have Ubuntu
[10:40] <Gnea> !pastebin
[10:40] <DaveIngram> SteveHill: Boohbah: Great, thanks guys! (I'm a PHP guy trying to play SysAdmin... that can never be good... thanks for your help)
[10:40] <sebmck> i see no one can help me
[10:40] <adam____> dayo: hm.. i just found http://tukaani.org/xz/ .. *sigh* what's wrong with normal file formats? :/
[10:41] <Gnea> !backup | sebmck
[10:41] <Gnea> !patience | sebmck
[10:41] <dayo> adam____: beats the hell out of me. i like .tar, .tar.gz, .rar and .zip just fine
[10:41] <systat> Here you Go Gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/172885/
[10:41] <grawity> dayo: .rar? that's...not...OPEN!
[10:41]  * dayo cowers :-(
[10:41] <dayo> lol
[10:41] <Gnea> grawity: .rar works just fine in ubuntu
[10:42] <dayo> grawity: well, at least it's FAMILIAR! lol
[10:42] <grawity> Gnea: But it's a closed format. ZIP is at least kind-of open.
[10:42] <SteveHill> sebmck: there is a package called aptoncd that will burn the applications that you have added onto a cd for later installation.
[10:42]  * grawity likes .zip
[10:42] <DaZ> zip sucks <:
[10:42] <Severity1> tar it
[10:42] <sebmck> SteveHill: Okay thanks, and thanks everyone else for there help
[10:42] <Gnea> grawity: this is Ubuntu, not Debian. ;)
[10:42] <DaveIngram> how can I tell what partition my mysql database is on?
[10:42] <adam____> dayo, i like anything i can extract without having to download some odd rare software and then compile by hand.. x(
[10:42] <grawity> Gnea: So
[10:42] <Gnea> grawity: so get over it :p
[10:43] <JEEB> lzma (used in 7zip) is pretty good compression-wise
[10:43] <Gnea> systat: okay, try this now:  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[10:43] <grawity> bzip2 too, I heard. (.tar.bz2 is popular)
[10:43] <adam____> the firefox logo is copyright, what are you going to do about that grawity? ;)
[10:43] <dayo> adam____: yeah, i know what u mean. i wish i had more time to create packages for some of these things. like koha, for example. but that's a huge project. all that damn CPAN. *shudder*
[10:44] <Piet> DaveIngram: df /var/lib/mysql*
[10:44] <grawity> adam____: But it's usually in .png which is open. The contents are irrelevant at the moment.
[10:44] <Gnea> dayo: CPAN is almost its own distribution

[10:46] <{g}> Whats the preferred way to install flash for firefox these days?

[10:49] <Gnea> systat: any luck?
[10:50] <hjb> Hi. I have a 32-bit instal CD only, but a Core Duo 54bit CPU
[10:50] <hjb> Can i install from the cd and upgrade to 64bit later?
[10:50] <Piet> yaris123456789: but that's not going to work. a slash in a path is a reference to a subdirectory. always.
[10:50] <hjb> 64bit

[10:57] <Piet> czert: you must specify the -f and -A options and their each parameters
[10:57] <Piet> czert, see w_scan --help
[10:58] <Severity1> you can use locate
[10:59] <Piet> czert: there are many examples here: http://edafe.org/vdr/w_scan/
[10:59] <czert> aha...thanks. I wrote w-scan,but it must be write w_scan
[10:59] <systat> Hey, why when I scroll in Firefox, it seems like it is lagging, If I scroll fast, then few seconds after I stop it will still continue to scroll up, down, Gnea?
[10:59] <czert> :)
[10:59] <Severity1> DaveIngram: yeah but check the paths path it's located, shud give you an idea
[10:59] <Piet> czert: yes, that's tricky, i always fall for that one, too
[10:59] <yaris123456789> Piet: well basically i run wget -r, and i end up with thousands of subdir.
[10:59] <Severity1> SteveHill: you can use locate

[11:02] <yuri20> What's name is Polish channel irc ?
[11:03] <Piet> yuri20: if you're looking for the polish ubuntu channel (and I am not sure that exists), then it's #ubuntu.pl
[11:03] <th0r> !pl
[11:03] <Piet> it _does_ exist
[11:03] <codeshepherd> when i try apt-get update .. it tries to  connect to a proxy .. though i am not behind a proxy.. how do i disable proxy ? ... the error is Connecting to <IP_ADDRESS>:80... failed: Connection timed out.

[11:04] <bluegoon> Hi guys, where is the location of the Thunderbird profiles directory in ubuntu?
[11:04] <karen> ?/???/?
[11:05] <czert> last question...How can I get a name of my dvb-t source??
[11:05] <Piet> codeshepherd: find out where the proxy is defined first: rgrep '<IP_ADDRESS>:80' /etc/
[11:05] <Severity1> bluegoon "locate thunderbird"
[11:06] <codeshepherd> thanks Piet
[11:06] <bluegoon> thanks
[11:06] <Severity1> bluegoon: "locate thunderbird"
[11:06] <Piet> codeshepherd: then do this: export http_proxy=
[11:06] <Severity1> bluegoon: type that in the terminal
[11:06] <czert> it's ok..I found it
[11:06] <Piet> bluegoon: should be ~/.mozilla-thunderbird
[11:06] <codeshepherd> Piet:  rgrep returns nothing...  i am not behind a proxy.. so i just export http_proxy="" >
[11:06] <bluegoon> got it, get a long list of stuff, which file is the thunderbird profile?
[11:06] <bluegoon> Piet: lol, dankie
[11:06] <codeshepherd> export http_proxy=""  ?
[11:07] <Piet> codeshepherd: yes
[11:07] <codeshepherd> thanks Piet
[11:07] <Piet> bluegoon: the profile is a directory and subdirectories
[11:08] <Piet> bluegoon: every directory below ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/ is a profile normally
[11:09] <Igneous> Hello everyone, I'm having a strange problem as of recently.. whenever I type apt-get to install something, it returns "bash: apt-get: command not found"
[11:09] <Piet> codeshepherd: the proxy can also be set in your personal configuration files, so also run this: rgrep '<IP_ADDRESS>:80' .*
[11:09] <codeshepherd> ok Piet
[11:10] <Piet> codeshepherd: actually this: rgrep '<IP_ADDRESS>:80' ~/.*
[11:10] <bluegoon> ok
[11:10] <bluegoon> is there a tutorial on how to migrate Thunderbird somewhere on the net?
[11:10] <Piet> Igneous: oops, not good, you have apparently removed a required package
[11:10] <bluegoon> I dont seem to find any luck
[11:11] <Igneous> Piet: is there any way to reinstall that package?
[11:11] <Piet> Igneous: yes, if you still have dpkg
[11:11] <Igneous> I don't really recall uninstalling anything recently
[11:11] <Severity1> bluegoon: i don't know anything about migrating thunderbird profiles
[11:11] <Igneous> "bash: dpkg: command not found"
[11:11] <Igneous> :(
[11:11] <Piet> Igneous: let's irst check if it's really gone.run this: dpkg -l apt|grep apt
[11:12] <Piet> Igneous: ouch
[11:12] <Piet> Igneous: hmm, not sure. this should not have happened without you seeing huge red warnings
[11:13] <Igneous> definitely haven't seen any of those
[11:13] <Igneous> everything appears to be working fine aside from that... I just can't install/remove anything
[11:13] <Igneous> no missing lib issues, ldconfig works
[11:13] <Severity1> you can do a proxy loopback?
[11:13] <_tech_> who can help me with something i need...:)
[11:14] <Boohbah> Igneous: grep apt /var/log/dpkg.log*

[11:14] <Igneous> Boohbah: grep: /var/log/dpkg.log*: No such file or directory
[11:14] <Igneous> Severity1: negative
[11:14] <Severity1> having the synaptics or software sources or any other apt-get stuff running will prevent you from installing
[11:14] <bluegoon> how do i copy something in bash?
[11:15] <Boohbah> bluegoon: cp
[11:15] <Severity1> gedit it
[11:15] <bluegoon> thanks
[11:15] <Piet> Severity1: this is not the issue here. dpkg and apt are gone completely
[11:15] <Piet> Igneous: please pastebin the output of this: cat /proc/partitions; mount; echo $PATH; whoami; id
[11:15] <adam____> apt is gone_
[11:16] <adam____> ?
[11:16] <Severity1> omg
[11:16] <Severity1> that really is an issue
[11:16] <codeshepherd> Piet:  no matches found for anything.. but the same error happens again :(
[11:17] <Piet> codeshepherd: hmm, i'm not sure where else it could eb coming from
[11:17] <Severity1> Piet: try whereis apt or whereis dpkg
[11:17] <Piet> codeshepherd: i suggest you should logout and login again, and see if it still occurs
[11:17] <Piet> Severity1: it's not my pc, it's Igneous'
[11:18] <Severity1> sorry sorry im messing it up
[11:18] <Igneous> Piet: http://nopaste.com/p/a91palDkV
[11:18] <Severity1> you shud get /usr/bin/dpkg /etc/dpkg /usr/lib/dpkg /usr/share/dpkg /usr/share/man/man1/dpkg.1.gz for dpkg
[11:18] <Piet> Igneous: please also pastebin the output of this command: alias
[11:19] <DaveIngram> SteveHill: Boobah: Piet: Severity1: Thanks for all your help this morning... found out my log files had become massive. Removed them and was able to get the server running again.
[11:19] <Igneous> the only alias I have is ls='ls --color=auto'
[11:19] <Kinglui23> hi
[11:20] <Boohbah> DaveIngram: any log file in particular larger than the others (spam in maillog) ? maybe you can track down what is filling them up
[11:20] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[11:20] <s1kx> can i install ubuntu on top of a windwos 7 installation without the botomanager getting screwed?
[11:20] <Piet> DaveIngram: cglad you could solve it.
[11:20] <Kinglui23> i trying to connect from my ubuntu server to my svn repo but i always get an >cannot establish an connection to server<, anyone an hint where to look for?
[11:20] <Piet> Igneous: ok, then it looks like thy're really gone.
[11:20] <Kinglui23> ssh https wget and anywthing else works fine
[11:21] <Boohbah> s1kx: what do you mean 'on top of' ?
[11:21] <Piet> Igneous: do you want to try to find out what happened, or just to resolve it?
[11:21] <s1kx> after i installed windows 7
[11:21] <DaveIngram> Boohbah: It's a development web server. It was my mysql log files and I had added a massive table last night... so I'm pretty sure that was the whole issue
[11:21] <glicks> hey has anyone implemented full disk evncryption?
[11:21] <glicks> does it degrade performance much?
[11:21] <s1kx> since it has a new bootmanager, is GRUB comaptible with it or whatever? just wanna make sure i dont break anything
[11:21] <DaveIngram> Boohbah: trouble is the guys who set up this server didn't leave any space for the database to grow. (Good idea on a *web* server? ..uhh.. no)
[11:21] <Igneous> Piet: I'm more concerned about getting things back up and working at the moment, instead of finding out what has happened.. unless that's entirely out of the question later
[11:22] <veryhappy> hello
[11:22] <veryhappy> i want to set up an ubuntu system for my father
[11:22] <mrwes> veryhappy, yes?
[11:22] <bluegoon> How would i copy my .mozilla-thunderbird folder to my Desktop?
[11:22] <veryhappy> on his notebook was already windows xp but some things dont go
[11:22] <Piet> Igneous: hmm, at the current state, i would suggest you get an install cd, or download and burn an iso, and use recovery mode
[11:22] <glicks> does full disk encryption impact performance much?
[11:22] <veryhappy> and now i want to set up ubuntu
[11:22] <Boohbah> bluegoon: cp ~/.mozilla-thunderbird ~/Desktop
[11:23] <mrwes> veryhappy, download the Live CD and give it a test drive
[11:23] <veryhappy> and install windows xp on a virtualbox vm
[11:23] <veryhappy> wait until i had finished please
[11:23] <mrwes> veryhappy, UH?
[11:23] <veryhappy> so now i need to ask
[11:23] <bluegoon> Thank you
[11:23] <mrwes> veryhappy, type all at once then :P
[11:23] <bluegoon> Boobah: ty
[11:23] <Boohbah> !enter | veryhappy
[11:23] <Igneous> enter is not a period
[11:23] <veryhappy> :D
[11:23] <veryhappy> ok
[11:24] <Igneous> Piet: I don't have a cd drive, is there any other method?
[11:25] <Piet> Igneous: usb key stick i would guess. how did you install in the first place?
[11:25] <Igneous> with butterflies
[11:25] <mrwes> Igneous, hrmm..could use netlinboot
[11:25] <bluegoon> what does cp: ommiting directory mean?
[11:25] <veryhappy> I want to know how i should setup the swap partition and how i see the real memory i tried it already with /proc/mem but i didnt see where i get the information about the real ram and now i want to see how many ram it haves and then i want to know also how many memory should i give the virtual hard disk its and 40 gb notebook where i install ubuntu and then i place the virtual box vm with windows xp above.
[11:25] <erUSUL> bluegoon: that cp will no copy the directory/folder
[11:25] <saravanan> bluegoon: use cp -R (to copy recursively)
[11:26] <bluegoon> ah ok, thanks
[11:26] <Boohbah> bluegoon: oh that means it missed a subdirectory, sorry.  'cp -a ~/.mozilla-thunderbird ~/Desktop'
[11:26] <erUSUL> veryhappy: "free " on a terminal
[11:27] <Piet> Igneous: what is butterflies?
[11:27] <bluegoon> Ive tried the cp -a now, nothing happened.
[11:27] <veryhappy> ok 515264 total means then how many ram?
[11:27] <Kajarly> Good Afternoon
[11:27] <bluegoon> no directory on the Desktop yet.
[11:27] <veryhappy> physical?
[11:27] <mrwes> Igneous, sorry that's unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[11:27] <erUSUL> veryhappy: 512 MiB
[11:27] <veryhappy> ok
[11:28] <mrwes> bluegoon, you need cp -R for recursive
[11:28] <veryhappy> and normal you should twice the size for swap right?
[11:28] <Igneous> Piet: Butterflies flap their delicate wings, the disturbance ripples outward, changing the flow of the eddy currents in the upperatmosphere. These cause mometary pockets of higher-pressure air to form, which acts as lenses that deflect incoming cosmic rays, focusing them to strike the drive platter and flip consecutive bits on the hard drive, to install ubuntu.
[11:28] <veryhappy> should make twice the size
[11:28] <erUSUL> veryhappy: i do not think you will be able to run winxp virtualized with that low ram
[11:28] <ceekays>  I've installed  some guest OS in Virtual Box and I cannot access flash drives. Can anyone help?
[11:28] <Boohbah> Igneous: lol
[11:29] <erUSUL> veryhappy: yep twice is a good choice in your case
[11:29] <veryhappy> erUSUL: i set up yesterday 2 virtual machines with 256 MB
[11:29] <veryhappy> they run
[11:29] <bluegoon> mrwes: thanks
[11:29] <mrwes> nod

[11:30] <nellmathew> i know this is offtopic, but is there anyone in here that went to school for both CS and comp. security/forensics? or better yet, anyone know a channel or something i might be able to ask someone who's a CS major a few questions?
[11:30] <Kajarly> My wireless seems to work fine in a fresh 9.04 desktop install, but after selecting a connection method, WEP/WEP2 personal encrypted password to login with, it never finishes connecting, I haven't updated yet... Anyone know how to fix this?

[11:31] <Faust__> hey, what is the status on a kfreebsd ubuntu port? I remember this idea was thrown out by Shuttleworth and seemingly rejected but there is continued entries in launchpad??
[11:32] <Boohbah> nellmathew: #networking and #security
[11:32] <Piet> Igneous: is that a quote or do you mean you don't want to tell?
[11:33] <r3dux> Kajarly: Is your WPA key correct?
[11:33] <Igneous> Piet: I was just kidding, I put the drive in a friend's laptop and installed it from there
[11:33] <Igneous> my laptop doesn't have a cd drive, I have a battery in the ultrabay
[11:34] <nellmathew> thanks a lot Boohbah!
[11:34] <Guest8889> hello, i have update ubunto , and i think is much more slower
[11:34] <nellmathew> join #networking
[11:34] <nellmathew> err
[11:34] <Kajarly> r3dux: That's what I Tried first
[11:34] <Guest8889> how can i optmize it , i alredy install prelink, but also programs are responding slow
[11:35] <veryhappy> how many memory should i give the windows xp virtual machine
[11:35] <veryhappy> on a 40 gb hard drive where i have installed ubuntu?
[11:35] <Kajarly> r3dux: It kept giving me the login box each time after about 5 minutes of connecting
[11:35] <r3dux> Kajarly: You could try installing backports and see if there's a newer version of the wifi driver.. I had to - my wireless would go into "deep sleep" every now and then until I installed backports
[11:35] <indus> Guest8889: whats prelink?
[11:35] <Piet> Igneous: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick use the unetbootin method, since that may work without dpkg
[11:35] <mrwes> Igneous, do you have a usb flash drive? You could install unetbootin and it'll download the Ubuntu iso for you and install it
[11:36] <Kajarly> r3dux: I haven't connected it to the internet yet, need to find a lan cable long enough to get to the router
[11:36] <mrwes> Piet, I told him that 10 minutes ago :)
[11:36] <r3dux> Kajarly: nods.
[11:36] <Piet> mrwes: huh, i didnt see that
[11:36] <MaxTesla> hello all

[11:36] <mrwes> Igneous, sorry that's unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[11:36] <mrwes> ^^
[11:36] <Piet> mrwes: too many netsplits i'm sure :)
[11:36] <Igneous> is there any way of actualy fixing this without cd recovery mode?
[11:36] <MaxTesla> How do I install ATi graphic card drivers in Ubuntu 9.04 without getting the black screen of death at reboot
[11:36] <Shapeshifter> When removing a package, how can I also remove dependencies of that package?
[11:36] <r3dux> Kajarly: When you do, try: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty
[11:37] <Kajarly> r3dux: I will try, thnx
[11:37] <mrwes> Piet, no biggie :)
[11:37] <r3dux> MaxTelsa - Have you tried installing through EnvyNG?
[11:37] <Piet> Igneous: doh, you'Re not making it easy :)
[11:37] <MaxTesla> EnvyNg gives me the black screen of death
[11:37] <r3dux> Ahhh... hehe
[11:37] <mrwes> MaxTesla, which card?
[11:37] <Piet> Igneous: last resort would be, i guess, debootstrap
[11:37] <r3dux> Try an earlier version of the ATI driver then?
[11:38] <MaxTesla> mrwes ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 HD but on the sticker it says HD 2300 and it is a laptop
[11:38] <veryhappy> has anyone read me question?
[11:38] <JOKER1> http://chatzilla.hacksrus.com/motifs/images/triop.png
[11:38] <Igneous> there is no way to install apt and dpkg without restore or debootstrap?
[11:38] <MaxTesla> r3dux all types of install gives me the black screen of death after reboot
[11:38] <mrwes> Igneous, what are you trying to fix BTW?
[11:39] <Igneous> apt-get and dpkg are not installed on my system

[11:39] <MaxTesla> mrwes ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 HD but on the sticker it says HD 2300 and it is a laptop
[11:39] <bluegoon> Is there a way to make a copy verbal?
[11:39] <Piet> Igneous: that is everything but straight forward, though
[11:40] <bluegoon> make it echo its actions to me?
[11:40] <bluegoon> just to see if it is indeed shifting data?
[11:40] <veryhappy> r3dux thanks for the tip but i want only to know how big i shoud set the Hard disk drive for the virtual machin
[11:40] <root__> please i need tutorial on backtrack Lan penetration
[11:40] <hphubert> I have a problem. When you type a-release-upgrade pops up to my mistake
[11:40] <root__> R3dux
[11:40] <Igneous> Piet: is it not possible to just download aptitude and dpkg via their own respective deb packages and then do ar -x, detar the data.tar.gz, and move them to /?
[11:41] <ziroday> root__: we can't help you with that here
[11:41] <ziroday> hphubert: do you mean do-release-upgrade?
[11:41] <droid7> is it possible to use the IME from fedora ?
[11:41] <r3dux> veryhappy: Ah.. soz - veryhappy - if you set the drive to a big size and set it to automatically grow as needed instead of assigning a size and using disk space straight away you'll be okay. You can't grow a drive in VirtualBox, you can just add Extended partitions to it (i.e. D: drive)
[11:41] <Piet> Igneous: maybe, i never tried
[11:41] <root__> how do umean
[11:41] <ziroday> droid7: yes, but not a good way to go
[11:41] <ziroday> root__: we can, and will not help you with that issue in this room
[11:41] <ziroday> root__: s/can/cannot
[11:41] <Piet> Igneous: feel free to do so
[11:42] <root__>  i cccc

[11:42] <Boohbah> root__: before you go penetrating other people's systems you may want to stop running your irc client as root :)
[11:42] <veryhappy> i will set a hard drive that grows for 35 gb
[11:42] <MaxTesla> How do I install ATi graphic card drivers in Ubuntu 9.04 without getting the black screen of death at reboot
[11:42] <root__> what do discuss here anyway/
[11:42] <ziroday> MaxTesla: make sure you install the right drivers?
[11:42] <Igneous> Piet: would that harm an archlinux install?
[11:42] <ziroday> root__: ubuntu related support issues, do /topci
[11:42] <ziroday> root__: /topic
[11:43] <Piet> Igneous: before you do anything at this point, make sure you have everything nicely backed up.
[11:43] <hphubert> ziroday: When you type a-release-upgrade error pops up to me, to quote them?
[11:43] <MaxTesla> ziroday I have tried so many different drivers everything gives me the black screen of death
[11:43] <root__> backtrack is ubuntu
[11:43] <MaxTesla> :(
[11:43] <veryhappy> ok bye bye
[11:43] <hphubert> sry
[11:43] <ziroday> root__: backtrack is _not_ ubuntu. Do not ask for backtrack support here.
[11:43] <hphubert> i m using an translator
[11:43] <root__> aight man
[11:43] <bazhang> root__, wrong channel
[11:43] <ziroday> hphubert: a-release-upgrade is not a real command. What is your native language?
[11:44] <Piet> Igneous: not if the archlinux installation is on a different partition which is would supposedly have to be anyway
[11:44] <hphubert> My native language' s polish
[11:44] <root__> can u please direct me
[11:44] <ziroday> !pl | hphubert
[11:44] <root__> to the right one
[11:44] <ziroday> root__: #remote-exploit
[11:44] <root__> thanx man
[11:45] <hphubert> ubottu: on my native channel there aren"t any other people
[11:45] <adam____> root__: you should not be logged on irc as a root user
[11:45] <Bischoop> I can't use mine CD/DVD writer after UPGRADE, how can I find out what the couse is?
[11:45] <gartral> so, any ports that i need to open on my firewall too allow X server access over ssh?
[11:45] <root__> do they have a chat room?
[11:45] <Bischoop> Hi Alle
[11:45] <MaxTesla> How do I install ATi graphic card drivers in Ubuntu 9.04 without getting the black screen of death at reboot
[11:45] <ziroday> gartral: just the normal ssh port
[11:45] <root__> ok i'll be back
[11:45] <ziroday> MaxTesla: you use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[11:45] <gartral> goodstuffs
[11:46] <Bischoop> MaxTesla: use "Envy"
[11:46] <MaxTesla> ziroday it does not show my graphic drivers ubuntu can not find anything there except my modem card
[11:46] <Piet> hphubert: there are 71 other people there
[11:46] <ziroday> !envy > Bischoop
[11:46] <bazhang> !envy
[11:46] <ziroday> MaxTesla: then there are no drivers for your card, they are already installed
[11:46] <MaxTesla> Bischoop EnvyNg gives me the black screen of death
[11:46] <adam____> root_: make a new user "useradd user" "su -l user"
[11:46] <adam____> root__: make a new user "useradd user" "su -l user"
[11:46] <MaxTesla> ziroday NO because i had nice graphics in windows vista but now it is all pixly
[11:46] <r3dux> MaxTelsa - Have you installed restricted? I think it's sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-jaunty - but don't quote me - google
[11:47] <ziroday> MaxTesla: what graphics card?
[11:47] <Bischoop> ubottu: thanks, I knew that
[11:47] <MaxTesla> ziroday i have Ati Mobility Radeon X2300 HD
[11:47] <instant> hello
[11:47] <Boohbah> !hi | instant
[11:47] <MaxTesla> r3dux i have tried that it is a part of many guides and all give the black screen of death
[11:48] <ziroday> MaxTesla: you might find that the fglrx driver has dropped support for that card and you can only use the opensource radeon or radeonhd drivers now
[11:48] <Piet> Igneous: will you find your way?
[11:48] <Wall975> i'm back
[11:48] <Igneous> Piet: I'll be fine, thanks
[11:48] <r3dux> MaxTesla: Hmmm... Tried booting to runlevel 3 or 1 and making changes to xorg.conf (even though HAL takes a lot away from xorg.conf these days..?)
[11:48] <Piet> Igneous: good luck
[11:49] <hphubert> when  i use a do-release-upgrade I get answer "Checking for a new ubuntu release Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/bin/do-release-upgrade", line 45, in <module>     useProposed=options.proposed_release)   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/UpdateManager/Core/MetaRelease.py", line 95, in __init__     parser.read(self.CONF)   File "/usr/lib/p"

[11:50] <r3dux> MaxTesla: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel

[11:51] <ziroday> Bischoop: please do not recommend that, futhermore they have dropped support for that card
[11:51] <DaZ> linuxstudio: do you really have to? <:
[11:51] <MaxTesla> Bischoop there are no direct drivers just generla linux which gives black screen of death
[11:51] <Boohbah> ShadowSniper: i think that would require some hardware modification
[11:51] <ziroday> MaxTesla: please pastebin your xorg.conf and verify that you have xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd installed
[11:52] <Bischoop> MaxTesla what u have in LOGS?
[11:52] <MaxTesla> ziroday ok ok give me 4 secs
[11:52] <r3dux> MaxTesla: PasteBin is a website you paste stuff and get a unique ID for that paste for people to look at? ziroday - I've never used it, but is that the gist?
[11:52] <ShadowSniper> Boohbah, its doable in windows =/
[11:52] <Boohbah> ShadowSniper: oh
[11:52] <ziroday> r3dux: yep, you copy the url and give it to your helper
[11:52] <ShadowSniper> Boohbah, the software for the audio drivers lets me choose what i want to port to be
[11:52] <hphubert> MaxTesla: my xorg.cong' s epmty
[11:52] <Wall975> obuttu i need a link wher i can download it

[11:53] <MaxTesla> ziroday i just came from windows yeasterday

[11:54] <Bischoop> ShadowSniper: Kmix
[11:55] <ziroday> MaxTesla: yay! you did it
[11:55] <mrwes> bingo!
[11:55] <mrwes> \o/
[11:55] <MaxTesla> ziroday yes i did
[11:55] <r3dux> hehe
[11:55] <hphubert> http://paste.ubuntu.com/172930/
[11:55] <Bischoop> anybody from EDI?
[11:55] <ShadowSniper> Bischoop: alright thanks, i'll take a look at that, although, is it for kde only?
[11:55] <r3dux> Bischoop: You can't re-assign physical soundports with Kmix or any mixer AFAIK
[11:55] <ziroday> MaxTesla: okay, now do you have the xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd package installed?
[11:56] <MaxTesla> ziroday no idea
[11:56] <MaxTesla> ziroday most likely maybe
[11:56] <MaxTesla> ziroday maybe ;)
[11:56] <mrwes> heh
[11:56] <Bischoop> r3dux: u sure?
[11:56] <ziroday> MaxTesla: do sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd
[11:56] <MaxTesla> ziroday NO
[11:56] <Bischoop> r3dux: so, u know where to do it?
[11:56] <r3dux> Bischoop: No, I'm not :) But I've never seen the option, and I've had a lot of sound issues I've had to work out...
[11:56] <MaxTesla> ziroday if i do that and reboot i get the black screen of death
[11:56] <ziroday> MaxTesla: good, well it should be installing now
[11:56] <MaxTesla> i recognize it
[11:56] <ShadowSniper> Bischoop: is there a comparable program for gnome, i'd rather not have to install the kde support packages if i dont have to
[11:56] <ziroday> MaxTesla: well you won't this time okay
[11:57] <MaxTesla> ziroday ok but wont it mess with my semi installation of radeonhd?
[11:57] <r3dux> Shadow - if you're using Alsa, try gnome-alsamixer
[11:57] <MaxTesla> which i almost maybe did complete
[11:57] <ShadowSniper> r3dux: alright, thanks
[11:57] <ziroday> MaxTesla: err possibly, I have no idea what you did previously
[11:57] <ziroday> MaxTesla: anyway, do that for now
[11:57] <r3dux> or just alsamixer from the console, ("m" mutes/unmutes btw)
[11:58] <MaxTesla> ziroday i am doing and it is blinking ;)
[11:58] <ziroday> MaxTesla: blinking?
[11:58] <Piet> hphubert: which ubuntu version do you have there?
[11:58] <MaxTesla> ziroday i did THIS https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD
[11:58] <ShadowSniper> r3dux: just so you know most on most new motherboards the audio jacks can be either input or output
[11:58] <MaxTesla> ziroday ok it is done now what?
[11:58] <Bischoop> ShadowSniper: try: synaptic and you can find some software for gnome, BTW it's doesn matter what window manager u use, at least you'll have to install MAYBE some libraries for KDE
[11:58] <Piet> hphubert: did you manually edit the file /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ?
[11:58] <hphubert> Piet: i hav  server 9.04
[11:59] <r3dux> Shadow - I've got a Acer Aspire 8920G - bought Oct 2008 - you reckon mine are?
[11:59] <ShadowSniper> Bischoop: alright
[11:59] <hphubert> Piet: no
[11:59] <ziroday> MaxTesla: now edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to look like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/172933/
[11:59] <Bischoop> ShadowSniper: or try to AKS Uncle Google :-)
[11:59] <MaxTesla> ziroday it is completed what you said me to do
[11:59] <r3dux> Shadow - maybe could be done in Windows - I don't know anything that would do the same port-swapping job in linux... you?
[11:59] <Bischoop> ShadowSniper: or try to ASK Uncle Google :-)
[11:59] <Boohbah> ShadowSniper: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=59456
[12:00] <Piet> can someone pastebin their /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades for me, please?
[12:00] <ShadowSniper> Bischoop: yeah, ive been looking around for most of today...
[12:00] <Piet> should be 9.04
[12:00] <Bischoop> ShadowSniper: and nothing...? maybe your'e first who does need it?
[12:01] <hphubert> Piet: may i paste there my file?
[12:01] <r3dux> Piet: The only line not commented out in my /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades is: "[DEFAULT]" and "Prompt=normal"
[12:01] <ShadowSniper> Bischoop: i may just not be looking for the right thing lol
[12:01] <MaxTesla> ziroday it wont let me save
[12:01] <MaxTesla> ziroday how do i save it?
[12:01] <ziroday> MaxTesla: how are you editing the file?
[12:01] <r3dux> MaxTesla: You might need to sudo gedit the file, not d it as your normal log in
[12:01] <Boohbah> MaxTesla: you need to edit as root 'gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[12:01] <MaxTesla> ziroday i click places computer etc x11 and the file
[12:02] <ShadowSniper> Bischoop: i started out tryen to fix a problem with it being only one channel, then realised it wasnt the output it was the jack itself, which is why i had it plugged into another one in the first place lol
[12:02] <r3dux> Copy the changes into the clipboard, close the file without saving, sudo gedit the file, paste changes or make mods, save, quit
[12:02] <Piet> hphubert: please not
[12:02] <MaxTesla> ziroday i need to edit it via the terminaö
[12:02] <ziroday> MaxTesla: do gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the terminal
[12:02] <Piet> thanks r3dux
[12:02] <MaxTesla> ziroday yes i have done it give me 4 sec
[12:02] <ShadowSniper> Bischoop: although the kmix seems to do what i want it too
[12:02] <ShadowSniper> Bischoop: i just have to install it and try
[12:03] <MaxTesla> ziroday ok i have done it
[12:03] <hphubert> Piet: ok ps in linux i' m only 2nd week my english is not bad i've got only fourteen years old
[12:03] <r3dux> MaxTelsa -- there a number of text only editing things, try "vi" but you need to know that ":q" quits and saves, "e" puts you in editing mode etc, ":q:" quits without saving --- I --THINK--- text editing in console can be a pain
[12:03] <ziroday> MaxTesla: now please logout and log back in
[12:03] <MaxTesla> ziroday it is done but i recognize all this and this all elads tot he black screen of death
[12:03] <MaxTesla> ziroday if i do this now
[12:03] <ziroday> MaxTesla: please logout and log back in
[12:04] <MaxTesla> ziroday i will get the black screen of death
[12:04] <Bischoop> ShadowSniper: Great :-) let us know does it help u, please just rememba that u  can configure channels, u find it in Options
[12:04] <MaxTesla> ziroday i will get the blacks creen of death and it will take me 15-20 minutes to reinstall ubuntu
[12:04] <jrib> r3dux: just use nano if you aren't comfortable with vi
[12:04] <r3dux> I have faith in ziroday :) .... Damn optimists..
[12:04] <MaxTesla> ziroday if i am not back within 5 minutes you will know that i have the black screen of death
[12:05] <r3dux> jrib - you're right of course... I've not edited text in text mode for a long while - good reminder - thank you!
[12:05] <ziroday> MaxTesla: if it "black screens of death" you can do sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg,conf and change "radeonhd" to "ati"
[12:05] <ziroday> or you can just leave
[12:05] <gartral> how do i check server side if the x client is just waiting on a command?
[12:05]  * r3dux goes for a beer and smoke - Friday FTW.
[12:05] <Piet> hphubert: do this: echo '[DEFAULT]'> /tmp/release-upgrades; cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades >> /tmp/release-upgrades; sudo cp /tmp/release-upgrades /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[12:06] <Kartagis> would ekiga let you do stuff like windows netmeeting does?

[12:08] <ShadowSniper> Bischoop: ugh well http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdemultimedia/kmix/switches.html according to that, it has what i want
[12:08] <ziroday> karen: that is unlikely to be a firewall, more likely an internet connection issue

[12:10] <hphubert> piet: may i upgrade my system to 9.10 by do-release-upgrade?
[12:10] <Piet> hphubert: you could set your APT sources to point to karmenic. but i don't think you want to do this at this early stage, especially not on a server.
[12:11] <Piet> hphubert: for what i know, do-release-upgrade will only upgrade to a higher version once this has been released
[12:12] <Piet> hphubert: why do you want to upgrade anyway?
[12:12] <hphubert> Piet: thak you
[12:12] <hphubert> Piet: thank you

[12:12] <dorothygale> got a couple of niggly issues with my ubuntu install. i was hoping someone could offer some soultions. I am using a mitac 8050 running 9.04.

Can you please help me?
