[09:51] <rocket16> Hey guys, I've a real problem. :( Accidentally I used the monitor rotation extension on gnome-shell and rotated my screen to left. It went okay, but when I turn it to normal, no display was there. Not that I restarted, no display either. :( I looged in to my account from Virtual Console, so is there any command to make X default again? :) xrandr -o normal doesn't work on virtual console
[09:52] <Evydder> What should i do?
[09:52] <werder> mang0: so neither option works? well at least you can boot. I was thinking that you couldn't even do that (for some reason. I guess it's just scars from previous trama
[09:52] <mang0> ActionParsnip: Recovery mode session, you mean? I can't get in to that either!
[09:52] <oCean> Evydder: why do you think it wants that kernel?
[09:53] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I'm trying to boot a debootstrapped ubuntu 11.04 system, but the console login isn't appearing. Init seems to just hang after parsing rc.local.
[09:53] <Nikki_> Hi!
[09:54] <dsdssdsddd> :)
[09:54] <dsdssdsddd> hello
[09:54] <fr33r1d3> Hello
[09:54] <oCean> dsdssdsddd: do you have an actual question?
[09:54] <werder> mang0: have you tried updating now?
[09:55] <mang0> werder: Neiter option works, I just have TTY. Could I re-install without losing my data? I've got an install disk...
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> mang0: hold shift at boot, you ca
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> can
[09:55] <mang0> werder: I can't access the net :/ let me try what ActionParsnip said. brb, going upstairs to linux box
[09:55] <werder> mang0: k good luck
[09:56] <Evydder_> ok
[09:56] <Evydder_> can anyone help me?
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> Evydder_: without details, no
[09:57] <mang0> werder: Thanks
[09:57] <oCean> Evydder_: I'm responding, I need answers
[09:57] <mang0> !ask > Evydder_
[09:57] <oCean> Evydder_:  why do you think it wants that kernel?
[09:57] <mang0> ActionParsnip: I presume I replace all "user" with my username?
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> Evydder_: did you compile your own kernel?
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> mang0: yes
[09:58] <oCean> Evydder_: first of all run the commands  uname -r  and  lsb_release -sc  and give us the output
[09:58] <Evydder_> try to load windows in a virtual machine
[09:58] <mang0> ActionParsnip: Okay, ty.
[09:58] <oCean> Evydder_: you are referencing a kernelname that is not in the official ubuntu repositories
[09:58] <oCean> Evydder_: first of all run the commands  uname -r  and  lsb_release -sc  and give us the output
[09:59] <Evydder_> uname -r =  2.6.32-042stab039.11 and lucid
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image-generic
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image-generic lucid
[10:00] <oCean> Evydder_: but that kernel -042stab039.11 is not in the ubuntu repositories. How did you install it?
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> Evydder_: the official lucid kernel is <IP_ADDRESS>.43
[10:00] <Evydder_> It come pre installed on a vps
[10:01] <oCean> Evydder_: ok, in that case, you have to find the matching kernel-headers. That's not something this channel can help you with
[10:01] <oCean> Evydder_: your VPS provider installed a non-standard kernel
[10:01] <Evydder_> Ocean: SHould i change it then?
[10:02] <oCean> Evydder_: I have no idea why your vps came with that kernel in the first place, so you should be very careful changing it. If you have access to the correct repositories, you *could*, but be careful
[10:02] <Evydder_> ummm how do it
[10:02] <mang0> ActionParsnip: Which recovery mode do I boot into? the "root" one?
[10:03] <Evydder_> tp*
[10:03] <Evydder_> to*
[10:03] <oCean> Evydder_: the command  apt-cache search linux-image  will show available kernel packages
[10:04] <horny-sama> ght
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> mang0: yes, and you can chown the file
[10:04] <oCean> Evydder_: but there has to be a reason your VPS provider installed that kernel image, replacing it might get you in the situation you can no longer boot/access your VPS!
[10:04] <Evydder_> ocean: what one should i use?
[10:05] <Evydder_> i have reinstall the os if need
[10:05] <mang0> ActionParsnip: Okay :)
[10:06] <oCean> Evydder_: latest -server package
[10:06] <TA5K> is it true that AMD open sourced their graohics drivers ?
[10:06] <Evydder_> kk backing the vps frist
[10:07] <oCean> Evydder_: you say you're using virtualbox, which also requires a gui. So you're also running a gui on the vps?
[10:07] <Evydder_> ocean: i have vnc setup on it as well as ssh
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> TA5K: http://www.anandtech.com/show/2338
[10:08] <oCean> Evydder_: I mean, by default on a -server installation, there is no gui
[10:08] <Evydder_> i installed it
[10:08] <oCean> ok
[10:08] <mang0> ActionParsnip: Wait, chown the file? I thought you said to run chown -R user:user /home/user, not with /home/user/.ICEauthority ?
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> mang0: either is fine
[10:10] <mang0> ActionParsnip: Ah, okay, great.
[10:11] <Grymmoire> Okay so I'm having a pretty major problem with ubuntu right now.
[10:11] <linux> ok
[10:11] <linux> what is the problem?
[10:11] <Evydder_> ocean:bash: latest: command not found
[10:11] <Grymmoire> I ran lbconfig, and soon after all the characters on my screen turned into boxes.
[10:11] <Grymmoire> Every bit of text is now a box
[10:12] <linux> gry, cant help you, Im just a good user
[10:12] <Grymmoire> I'm on my other OS right now because I can't understand anything in ubuntu anymore
[10:12] <linux> It works great for me out of the box
[10:12] <Grymmoire> Even the login screen has boxes for characters
[10:13] <Grymmoire> I figured this was the best place as any to turn
[10:13] <Evydder_> ocean: It carn't find the command
[10:13] <Grymmoire> Though I doubt anyone's come across this problem before
[10:13] <mang0> ActionParsnip: And then reboot?
[10:13] <Grymmoire> Logging out didn't fix it
[10:13] <Grymmoire> Restarting the computer didn't make it go away either
[10:13] <oCean> Evydder_: heh, no I meant run  apt-cache search linux-image and pick the latest (probably linux-image-2.6.32-37-server) and use   sudo apt-get install <packagename>  to actually install
[10:14] <oCean> Evydder_: or run  apt-cache policy linux-image  it will suggest what it is going to install
[10:14] <linux> I am using a great Linux application to broadcast this chat live
[10:15] <linux> Webcamstudio works perfectly
[10:15] <oCean> linux: you told us that yesterday too.  But I *think* that's not a server but a desktop kernel
[10:18] <jokerdino> applesouce: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65911/how-can-i-fix-a-404-error-using-a-ppa <-- check this link
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> applesouce: you added some PPAs, but not their keys
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> applesouce: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com E9C74FEEA2098A6E
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> applesouce: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 5A9A06AEF9CB8DB0
[10:18] <chris_> hi all i need some help with ubuntu anyone willing to help me
[10:18] <dhcp> hey guys
[10:19] <Fudge> chris_  you need to be more specific
[10:19] <dhcp> cld i ask one quick question
[10:19] <oCean> chris_: just go ahead and describe your issue detailed in the channel
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> dhcp: just ask :)
[10:19] <chris_> well i need help installing wow
[10:19] <Evydder_> Ocean:out put http://paste.ubuntu.com/804963/
[10:19] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I'm trying to boot a debootstrapped ubuntu 11.04 system, but the console login isn't appearing. Init seems to just hang after parsing rc.local.
[10:19] <dhcp> i want to add default gateway to my dhcp server so my win clients will recieve the internets..
[10:19] <dhcp> wats the syntax and
[10:20] <dhcp> the command
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> applesouce: if you visit http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/dists/    you will see the PPA doesn't support oneiric, I suggest you remove it
[10:20] <dhcp> if that be the right word to use
[10:20] <oCean> Evydder_: oh, but it has  <IP_ADDRESS>.43 already installed!
[10:20] <Evydder_> Does it?
[10:20] <applesouce> ActionParsnip: how do I remove those??
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> dhcp: so you want to share your internet connection
[10:20] <Evydder_> ocean:does it?
[10:20] <oCean> Evydder_: yes, hehe. Read the output carefully
[10:20] <dhcp> yes
[10:20] <chris_> anyone here know how i install world of warcraft through ubuntu
[10:21] <dhcp> it is shred but only for the linux based systems
[10:21] <Evydder_> ocean:what the go now?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> applesouce: you can delete the relevant file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d   or use software centre or even ppa-purge
[10:21] <Fudge> what is an xml file used for in /etc/apt/preferences.d
[10:21] <oCean> Evydder_: but since uname -r give other output, it seems you are booted into that other (non-ubuntu) kernel. If you can reboot, you should (during boot) have the GRUB (bootloader) option to pick the  <IP_ADDRESS> kernel to boot
[10:21] <Evydder_> i dont see the boot
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> applesouce: sudo ppa-purge ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable     will remove it too
[10:22] <dhcp> cause i run a dual boot system win from hdd and pxe for the linux clients
[10:22] <Fudge> i.e vinux-wallpapers.xml http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[10:22] <Evydder_> ocean: how do i set defaut?
[10:23] <applesouce> ActionParsnip: Ok thanks :D
[10:23] <dhcp> am i correct in assuming providing a defualt gate way will provide my win clients with the internets
[10:25] <_HoochMan_> dhcp: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[10:25] <mang0> ActionParsnip: It didn't work, I still get the same error about ICEauthority.
[10:25] <Evydder_> ocean: how do i set it up so the <IP_ADDRESS> to boot to? is there way with a command?
[10:26] <Evydder_> OCean: OR a file to edit?
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> mang0: is it owned by your user now and have the right access?
[10:27] <oCean> Evydder_: erm.. you should be able to change the default boot kernel by editing the DEFAULT= value in /etc/default/grub, but that requires to list all menu entries first, so you know the value (menu entry) to change it to
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> Evydder_: you can change the default in /etc/default/grub
[10:27] <oCean> I forgot how to list all entries :(
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> Evydder_: you will need to run:  sudo update-grub  to apply the change
[10:27] <mang0> ActionParsnip: I ran chown -R user:user /home/user/ICEauthority
[10:29] <Evydder_> GRUB_DEFAULT=0 ummm
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> mang0: not sure what the correct ACL is, I don't have the file
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> Evydder_: change it to 1 and try that
[10:30] <mang0> ActionParsnip: It might be easier for me just to re-install, but I would lose my data, would I not? If I just installed from the 11.04 disc...
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> mang0: why do you not have a backup?
[10:30] <dhcp> what would one add to the config of dhcp 3 to allow MS WINDOWS to connect to internet
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> mang0: easier is to make a new user, then use that...
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> !ics | dhcp
[10:31] <dhcp> i have the linux connectng fine
[10:31]  * mang0 facepalms
[10:31] <mang0> ActionParsnip: I'll try now
[10:31] <Evydder_> how do i list them?
[10:31] <oCean> Evydder_: I forgot :(
[10:31] <dhcp> have done that im sure its easy with ubuntu 11.10
[10:31] <mang0> ActionParsnip: I do have a backup, but not a complete backup. All my important data is backed up, but not all the petty things. It would just be a faf.
[10:31] <dhcp> but is sharing to a debian server
[10:32] <dhcp> this server then shares to rest of network
[10:32] <dhcp> which daul boots
[10:32] <Guest86347> when will we can dualboot ipad2 whit ubuntu?
[10:32] <Fudge> hey ActionParsnip  have you ever dragged a launcher icon onto  the desktop and had an untrusted message appear
[10:34] <steve1965> does the libapr1 version correspond to the apr versioning? Just need to make sure.
[10:34] <sKew^> ActionParsnip, wee i got my sound card and graphick card to work just needed to remove all ati package ect and install it from scratch again
[10:36] <steve1965> is there a better channel to ask that question?
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> steve1965  i guess nobody knows what you're talking about
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> what is apr?
[10:37] <Evydder_> should i change it to one and hope of the best? if i do change it will it load ssh at the start?
[10:37] <savask> Hello. When I plug in my xerox printer, ubuntu doesn't see it. It worked fine before I updated to oneric. What can I do?
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: niiiice
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> savask: does it work in a liveCD
[10:38] <steve1965> libapr1 is the package that contains the Apache Portable Runtime libraries, used, amongst other things, to improve Tomcat clustering.
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> savask: for oneiric
[10:38] <savask> ActionParsnip: I don't know.
[10:38] <steve1965> but thank you for responding MonkeyDust
[10:40] <oCean> Evydder_: run  grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[10:41] <sKew^> ActionParsnip, yes :) but i realy wanna install unix system om my ipad2
[10:41] <oCean> Evydder_: that's the command to list all menu entries, then count your way down to the kernel you want to boot, starting with 0 (that's the default)
[10:42] <redkiwi> oCean: shift key
[10:42] <oCean> redkiwi: he's not at console
[10:42] <darin> true or false: banshee just isnt stable
[10:42] <darin> ?
[10:43] <oCean> darin: do you have a support question? This channel is not for polls
[10:43] <MonkeyDust> !poll| darin
[10:44] <Evydder_> oCean: grep: /boot/grub/grub.cfg: No such file or directory
[10:46] <oCean> Evydder_: uh, I don't think you have a standard ubuntu installation there :(
[10:46] <Evydder_> 0cean: its installed
[10:47] <maxulti> I generate wifi connection from my laptop to share internet with my phone. Is there any way to know if anybody else is using my wifi connection
[10:47] <lotuspsychje> maxulti: maybe wireshark can see some stuff
[10:48] <maxulti> in the sense give the list of mac addresses that are connected to my network?
[10:48] <LjL> shouldn't need wireshark, iw or iwconfig should provide the information... but i'm unsure how exactly to.
[10:49] <Evydder_> iptable?
[10:49] <oCean> Evydder_: yes, but from missing grub.cfg and your current kernel, I suspect it's a custom install
[10:49] <Evydder_> ocean:try to find it?
[10:49] <lotuspsychje> maxulti: many routers can see connected mac adresses too
[10:50] <lotuspsychje> lol
[10:50] <oCean> Evydder_: again, I have to advise you that, since you're not on a standard ubuntu install, you might break things, and you might not be able to boot the vps again
[10:51] <LjL> maxulti: i'm not sure this is the right command, but try "sudo iw wlan0 station dump" (substitute wlan0 with the right interface if needed)
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: if you hadn't bought an ipad it may have been possible
[10:52] <mang0> How do I copy a DIR from one location to the other in terminal?
[10:52] <Evydder_> ocean: is ther another way to run windows virtual machine
[10:52] <LjL> magn3ts: usually cp -a
[10:52] <LjL> mang0 even
[10:53] <MonkeyDust> Evydder_  i havent followed, i run a windows virtual machine, what are you trying
[10:53] <Evydder_> ocean: found it grub.cfg
[10:53] <mang0> LjL: Uh, so I'd use 'cp -a /home/user/dir /home/user/blah/destination'?
[10:53] <LjL> magn3ts: yes
[10:53] <mang0> mang0* LjL
[10:53] <mang0> Lol
[10:54] <mang0> LjL: Thanks :)
[10:54] <oCean> Evydder_: ok,  grep menuentry grub.cfg
[10:54] <LjL> err, mang0 yes :P
[10:54] <mang0> ;)
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> !away > horny-sama-afk
[10:57] <Evydder_> ocean:grub.cfg is in a example file
[10:57] <Evydder_> ocean: how wont i go about puting a virtual machine on it?
[10:57] <maxulti> I dont know what happened after trying that command, i got disconnected
[10:58] <LjL> maxulti: oh, sorry. wrong command then i guess. it's that i don't have a wireless interface here, so guessing a little
[10:58] <oCean> Evydder_: you really need a configuration that is supported. So contact your VPS provider and ask them to provide a standard ubuntu kernel
[10:58] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I'm trying to boot a debootstrapped ubuntu 11.04 system, but the console login isn't appearing. Init seems to just hang after parsing rc.local.
[10:59] <LjL> maxulti: sudo iwspy wlan0?
[11:00] <maxulti> LjL : I got this message :wlan0     Interface doesn't support wireless statistic collection
[11:00] <LjL> ah wonderful :|
[11:01] <maxulti> may this is why I dont see the people connected!
[11:01] <LjL> maxulti: you sure wlan0 is the right interface? again you should substitute it with whatever is appropriate
[11:01] <paul_uk> hey all, what is the keyb shortcut to make windows smaller?  I can't seem to access the menubar on a window so I can't change the size of it :/
[11:02] <lotuspsychje> maxulti: etherape could help out too maybe
[11:02] <maxulti> LjL:yeah , I went to Edit connections and wlan0 listed all the wireless networks
[11:02] <lotuspsychje> !info etherape
[11:02] <maxulti> lotuspsychje: ok i will try that
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: hold alt and drag it from any point in the app, you can then grab the corner and resize as you expect
[11:03] <Treesome_> I have an old IBM Thinkcentre using Ubuntu 10.10 aner I want to return to Windows. My problem is that when I insert my Windows CD and restart the computer it doesn't boot from the CD
[11:03] <Evydder_> how would go about install ing a virtual machine on it
[11:03] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip, this is why I am asking.  I can't grab the corner.  The app has launched on my secondary monitor and hidden the top bar.
[11:03] <paul_uk> Title bar rather
[11:04] <bsidb> Treesome_: Reset your BIOS setup
[11:04] <lotuspsychje> Treesome_:not happy with ubuntu?
[11:04] <Treesome_> ok and how?
[11:04] <Treesome_> not with 10.10
[11:04] <Treesome_> i hate the new interface
[11:04] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip, nevermind Alt F10 shrunk the app so I can then see the title bar xD
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: so the ALT + drag doesn't work
[11:04] <bsidb> Treesome_: Please note the first screen when you start your computer
[11:05] <angela-> treesome do you have chekt in the bios of you`r pc to the boot
[11:05] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip, it wasn't about dragging.  The Title bar was out of view.
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> Treesome_  there's more than one interface, e.g. i don't like/use unity
[11:05] <Evydder_> Treesome: Try change the cd  boot seting to top in the bios and try
[11:05] <Treesome_> yep i mean unity
[11:05] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip, thanx anyways!
[11:05] <Treesome_> the boot priority is all fine
[11:05] <Evydder_> can someone help me?
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: surely draggin the window so it is visible would have worked though...
[11:05] <angela-> oke
[11:05] <Treesome_> how do i reset bios?
[11:06] <bsidb> in the bios setup
[11:06] <MonkeyDust> Evydder_  i use virtual machines, what's your question?
[11:06] <lotuspsychje> Treesome_:once you get used to unity its very easy
[11:06] <Treesome_> ^^ ok i'ma give it a try, if it doesnt work ill be back soon bye
[11:06] <Treesome_> and thank you ;-)
[11:06] <Evydder_> monkeydust: howd do i set it up?
[11:06] <MonkeyDust> Evydder_  virtual box?
[11:07] <bsidb> if the boot priority is fine and you insert a wrong CD, there will be prompt
[11:07] <angela-> in to you`r pc on the motherbord are a batery that can you poot out for copleminnets then reset the bios
[11:07] <Evydder_> Monkeydusk: i get a erroe
[11:08] <MonkeyDust> Evydder_  start from the beginning, what did you do and try before you came here for advice?
[11:08] <oCean> Evydder_: you really have to explain everything we already went through to, before dragging MonkeyDust in the exact same issues
[11:09] <oCean> MonkeyDust: he has a non-standard kernel on a vps
[11:09] <MonkeyDust> Evydder_  i rest my case, then
[11:09] <Evydder_> monkeydust: i installed virtaul box and run it using virtaulboxKernel module is not loaded
[11:10] <MonkeyDust> Evydder_  do you get group error, saying your user does not belong to the vbox group?
[11:11] <Evydder_> Monkeydust: error http://paste.ubuntu.com/805013/
[11:12] <oCean> MonkeyDust: modules are not compiled since it's a non-standard kernel, he has no matching -header files
[11:12] <MonkeyDust> ok
[11:12] <oCean> Evydder_: please stop asking here, since we already established that the issue is your non-standard setup
[11:12] <MonkeyDust> Evydder_  do you install vbox-OSE from the repos, or from Oracle?
[11:13] <MonkeyDust> ok, i stop, too, then
[11:13] <lotuspsychje> im looking for xvidcap equivalents, smooth recording desktop to movie without timeless encoding
[11:13] <lotuspsychje> with specific area recording
[11:13] <Evydder_> MonkeyDust: Synaptic
[11:14] <Evydder_> MonkeyDust: is there a way i tell it to use a differnt kernol instend of the one is booted?
[11:14] <mang0> ActionParsnip, I'm just going to reinstall. Backed everything up XD much faster
[11:15] <MonkeyDust> Evydder_  what's the outcome of uname -r ?
[11:15] <Evydder_> its not a stock one
[11:16] <MonkeyDust> Evydder_  i think your question is beyond this channel, maybe try #vbox
[11:16] <DoctorD> any channel about reptiles ?
[11:16] <Evydder_> ok thanks
[11:16] <oCean> !alis | DoctorD
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> mang0: sounds about right, Could use Precise Alpha as it is released soon :)
[11:17] <DoctorD> there is no such channel :(
[11:20] <jokerdino> If I am not wrong, precise alpha is already released.
[11:20] <oCean> jokerdino: yup, alpha2 in feb
[11:21] <maxulti> lotuspsychje: I tried to install etherape , but coulnt do it as for many versions sone files were missing
[11:21] <jokerdino> yeah coz i am on the alpha version.
[11:22] <mang0> ActionParsnip: Precise alpha? I'm just installing from the natty disc, and then I'll run "sudo apt-get update " and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and once I'm upgraded to 11.10 I will put my backups in place :) could I go straight from natty to precise?
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> mang0: natty is eol in October this year
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> mang0: precise == ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[11:24] <lotuspsychje> maxulti: did you run etherape as root?
[11:24] <crazymarine> ok i have lost my mind, how do i install a gui for server using 11.10?
[11:24] <mang0> Ah, I see. ActionParsnip I know natty is eol, which is why I'm going to upgrade to oneiric as soon as I'm finished installing. What I mean is, can I go straight from natty to precise, instead of going through oneiric?
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> crazymarine: why didn't you just install the desktop OS?
[11:25] <maxulti> lotuspsychje: yes, but I found an alternative grellm
[11:25] <maxulti> i think i willtry this and see
[11:25] <crazymarine> i am going to use it as a fileserver/print server but i am not too familiar with terminal to edit files and save them
[11:25] <lotuspsychje> maxulti: can you access your router?
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> crazymarine: a nice light DE can be gained with:  sudo apt-get install lxde lightdm
[11:25] <maxulti> lotuspsychje: yes,
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> crazymarine: if you are not familiar with cli then I suggest you install desktop next time
[11:26] <lotuspsychje> maxulti:search for connected stations mac adresses in your router
[11:27] <lotuspsychje> ActionParsnip: isnt there a lightweight X for server to manage few stuff easier?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> lotuspsychje: lxde is pretty light :)
[11:27] <lotuspsychje> !info lxde
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> lotuspsychje  jwm is very basic and light
[11:28] <frantic_> Hello world!
[11:28] <maxulti> lotuspsychje: pk
[11:28] <maxulti> lotuspsychje: *ok
[11:28] <lotuspsychje> MonkeyDust: cool tnx
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> or install just fluxbox on it's own :)
[11:30] <lotuspsychje> !info jwm
[11:30] <frantic_> okay, so I want to install this program called okawix, Its not on Synaptic or on thee Ubuntu program download thing, I have downloaded the the file but im used to .exe files  How do i go about installing the program
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> frantic_  is it a PPA ?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> !info okawix
[11:31] <LjL> it's a tar.bz2
[11:32] <LjL> frantic_: just extract it and run it locally, it doesn't seem to have an installer
[11:32] <lotuspsychje> can enlightment run on ocelot?
[11:32] <frantic_> PPA? ill give that a try LjL
[11:34] <crazymarine> ActionParsnip: i have downloaded and installed lxde, how do i get it to start?
[11:34] <frantic_> LjL: Hey! thanks eh
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> crazymarine: did you install lightdm too?
[11:35] <Lantizia> Lo, has anyone got usb2vga working?  I have a "0711:5100 Magic Control Technology Corp." which apparently has been made to work in a linux distribution before with a package called "xserver-xorg-video-tusb" but this doesn't seem to exist anywhere else (e.g. debian or ubuntu) - so maybe it has a new name?
[11:35] <crazymarine> yes, i ran the whole install line you gave me
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> frantic_: cd ~; wget http://www.okawix.com/install/okawix-0.7-current.tar.bz2; tar jxvf ./okawix-0.7-current.tar.bz2; rm ./okawix-0.7-current.tar.bz2
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> crazymarine: then a reboot will give a login screen
[11:36] <crazymarine> ActionParsnip: it doesnt, it goes to the text,
[11:36] <crazymarine> (terminal) base login
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> crazymarine: try:  sudo service lightdm start
[11:37] <crazymarine> ActionParsnip: it says job is already running: lightdm
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> crazymarine: ok try pressing CTRL+ALT+F7, is it there
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> crazymarine: you could cut losses and run:  sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> crazymarine: you could've made your life a lot easier by installing the desktop OS
[11:39] <crazymarine> ActionParsnip: i figured there would be too much to change a desktop os into a server os
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> crazymarine: you can run server apps on a desktop OS, you just have the X server overhead
[11:41] <crazymarine> ActionParsnip: probably would have been easier since i spent 4 hours reburning cds to get the server .iso to install correctly without checksum errors
[11:47] <ubuntuaddicted1> to delete my rythmebox library and strart over would I just delete the .rhythmbox file in my home folder?
[11:47] <kingisher64> does anybody know how to add a sidebar shortcut folder link? thanks
[11:48] <ubuntuaddicted1> kingisher64, using gnome and nautilus it's just drag and drop
[11:48] <ubuntuaddicted1> i need a stable system so I am using 10.04.3 still
[11:53] <kingisher64> ubuntuaddicted1 - if i drag and drop a folder it starts calculating what looks like a copy of the folder contents. I just want to create a shortcut link. Is there no way to just right click on folder ? create shortcut?
[11:56] <lotuspsychje> kingisher64: type nautilus in main button and drag and drop to sidebar
[11:57] <ubuntuaddicted1> kingisher64, drag and drop to the left hand side bart
[11:57] <ubuntuaddicted1> bar
[11:58] <ubuntuaddicted1> kingisher64, what version of Ubuntu?
[11:58] <kingisher64> ubuntuaddicted1: 11.10
[11:58] <ubuntuaddicted1> ah, I can't help. sorry I am still on the last LTS
[11:58] <ubuntuaddicted1> i could install a VM quickly if you  really want help but someone else will be along any second I am sure
[11:59] <ubuntuaddicted1> good luck,
[11:59] <ubuntuaddicted1> gotta run, playing COD with my fans
[11:59] <ubuntuaddicted1> :-)
[11:59] <kingisher64> ubuntuaddicted1 - no don't do that, thanks for offering - enjoy your gaming
[11:59] <ubuntuaddicted1> thanks
[12:00] <kingisher64> lotuspsychje - sorry, what's the main button?
[12:00] <kingisher64> lotuspsychje - i'm in ubuntu 11.10
[12:01] <lotuspsychje> kingisher64: left upside (the ubuntu icon button)
[12:03] <kingisher64> lotuspsychje - ok thanks, i've done that, and the folder i want to create a shortcut to starts a calculating copying process, is this normal to just create a shortcut link? This is my first (of many) weeks with ubuntu I just need to tweak a couple of things

[12:04] <karthick87> I am getting an error while booting ubuntu "nfsmount: need a path" can anyone help?
[12:04] <bazhang> alexxander, check the appdb, then /join #winehq
[12:04] <bazhang> !appdb | alexxander
[12:05] <alexxander> but its wine that's caused an issue with with codecs and parole media player, it's not that wine has an issue?
[12:05] <MonkeyDust> karthick87  is your local pc's ip address in /etc/exports on the remote pc?
[12:05] <guest_> Hi, my Mouse and/or Keyboard randomly freezes at startup, or sometimes randomly in the middle of a session. How can I fix that?  I have ubuntu 11.10, my laptop is a Sony Vaio
[12:06] <karthick87> MonkeyDust: Yes
[12:06] <MonkeyDust> karthick87  you may need to restart the nfs-kernel
[12:06] <lesshaste> can anyone get the "Chat with Live Agent" link to work at http://shop.centurylink.com/residential/customerService/contactus/internet.html or is this a linux incompatability?
[12:06] <karthick87> MonkeyDust: How do i do that?
[12:07] <alexxander> ok, ignore the wine bit, how do i revert my parole and codecs back to factory settings?!
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> karthick87  try sudo service nfs-kernel start
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> karthick87  try sudo service nfs-kernel-server start
[12:07] <karthick87> MonkeyDust: I am not able to boot, do you want me to boot using a live cd?
[12:08] <MonkeyDust> karthick87  you lost me
[12:09] <chris|> karthick87, boot into recovery mode without network and fix the fstab
[12:10] <NQTropic> lesshaste, doesn't work for me on xubuntu with firefox
[12:11] <alexxander> ... no ideas then guys?
[12:11] <guest_> Hi guys, can anyone help? I am on ubuntu 11.10, my mouse / keyboard randomly freezes At startup, or sometimes in the middle of a session (the mouse would move but wouldn't click) and I'd have to restart my laptop a few times before they both work. Any idea how to fix that?
[12:12] <lesshaste> NQTropic: thx
[12:12] <DaMummy|PND> whats a good was to fsck if i cant boot into the filesystem?
[12:13] <chris|> DaMummy|PND, livecd
[12:13] <kingisher64> lotuspsychje - nevermind thanks for your advice anyway - i've decided to drag and drop using cairo dock.
[12:20] <crazymarine> anyone know how to bypass the following error? can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs
[12:20] <MonkeyDust> crazymarine  casper, squashfs... a live session?
[12:21] <crazymarine> MonkeyDust: from .iso to do an install
[12:22] <MonkeyDust> crazymarine  on a cd or thumbdrive?
[12:22] <crazymarine> MonkeyDust: on cd
[12:23] <MonkeyDust> maybe there's something wrong with the cd?
[12:23] <crazymarine> MonkeyDust: checksum are verified correctly.
[12:23] <MonkeyDust> crazymarine  and can you launch the live session?
[12:25] <jNovice> hello. during ubuntu installation I cannot set "boot loader installation" to /boot (/dev/sda6)  inside extended partition
[12:25] <jNovice> could anybody give any adive how to achieve this?
[12:26] <murfie> did you rewrite your bios to make it work?
[12:28] <crazymarine> MonkeyDust: same error with live session
[12:28] <MonkeyDust> crazymarine  ok, and has is worked before, or is this the first try?
[12:29] <MonkeyDust> it*
[12:30] <crazymarine> MonkeyDust: same error with my laptop, had to install using usb, but i dont have the usb drive any more.
[12:31] <MonkeyDust> crazymarine  if the cd gives errors on both systems, i'd say it's due to the cd
[12:31] <crazymarine> MonkeyDust: i remember when i was installing it on my laptop, someone in here said something about my bios isnt set right or that the installer doesnt read sata drives that well.
[12:32] <MonkeyDust> crazymarine  there you have it, but i cannot give advice on that
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> ah, 'someone' said, it's not a bios error you're getting?
[12:34] <aaa_> how can i update wine (preferably using the GUI)?
[12:35] <crazymarine> MonkeyDust: not a bios but looks like a mounting error
[12:35] <MonkeyDust> aaa_  try sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade wine
[12:36] <MonkeyDust> crazymarine  on two different pc's?
[12:37] <crazymarine> MonkeyDust: yes, but with different disks each time. i have verified that all 5 disk are the same from the repository with checksums verified after each write.
[12:37] <MonkeyDust> aaa_  sorry, that's the cli, not the gui
[12:40] <oni_> hello
[12:44] <tellone> Is it possible to ad a extra time to the disable touch pad while typing option?
[12:44] <MonkeyDust> tellone  in the software center, search gpoint
[12:51] <pakerfeldt> I prepared my drives for dual os, installed windows 7 at first, then today I installed Ubuntu. But I can't seem to get GRUB to understand there is a Windows partition as well. I have used Boot Repair several times without any succuess (the boot loader starts but I have only ubuntu and memtest to choose from). This is my BootInfo summary:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/805088/
[12:53] <tellone> MonketDust: I did not find what i was looking for in  gpoint
[12:54] <jNovice> murfie rewrite BIOS? what do you mean?
[12:54] <jNovice> I try to install on lenovo notebook
[12:55] <murfie> your bios can only boot from primary partitions
[12:56] <tim167> hey, is anyone here using "low latency kernel" ?
[12:56] <jNovice> murfie hmm, could be any option to change this?
[12:57] <jNovice> murfie hold on, I will use EasyBCD from windows to point on ubuntu boot partition
[12:57] <jNovice> check this http://edwinmeyer.com/LenovoUbuntuWin7DualBoot.html
[12:57] <murfie> sounds easy
[13:01] <MonkeyDust> tellone  did you install gpoint-settings-manager?
[13:02] <Boreeas> Is there a way to show the bootlog when the computer is booting instead of an empty black screen?
[13:02] <viktor133> can somebody give me a hand setting up a dual monitor with my laptop?
[13:03] <theadmin> Boreeas: Hit escape while booting. Though normally you should see the Ubuntu logo rather than a black screen.
[13:03] <viktor133> its hooked up, but isn't useable
[13:03] <tellone> MonkeyDust: no all i found was gpointing-device-setting
[13:04] <MonkeyDust> tellone  install that, i think it's what you need
[13:05] <oCean> !nox | Boreeas
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> Boreeas: when the black screen shows, press ESC and you can watch the boot
[13:05] <tellone> MonkeyDust: well kind of solves the problem but not in the way i wanted to solve it
[13:06] <Guest14772> Hey wass the packed name for tutchpad?
[13:07] <Guest14772> toutchpad*
[13:07] <bauernomlett> hey  there! one question: i'm running xubuntu because ubuntu was too slow on my 8 years old notebook. does opensuse need more resources like xubuntu?
[13:08] <Guest14772> bauernomlett, you shud try Crunch Bang Linux if you have problem whit speed
[13:09] <Seveas> bauernomlett opensuse uses gnome by default, so it'll be about as heavy as ubuntu
[13:09] <DragonSlay> bauernomelett, linux mint!
[13:09] <sKew^> DragonSlay, linux min is build from ubuntu? isent is as heavy then?
[13:09] <sKew^> or do i have miss understand the consept
[13:10] <DragonSlay> sKew^, linux mint comes in many flavours..
[13:10] <sKew^> the newes one? linux mint 14 or somthing?
[13:11] <bauernomlett> ah- thanks, i was just wondering... because xubuntu runs now very good but i just thought about tying opensuse but when it needs as much as ubunu i'll stay with xubuntu
[13:11] <Myrtti> bauernomlett: try lubuntu if you want even more oomph
[13:11] <DragonSlay> sKew^, i think speed depends on desktop environment.. xfce and MATE looks to be faster than gnome although i haven't tried neither.
[13:12] <sKew^> Crunch Bang linux is openbox so its pretty fast
[13:12] <full> ola
[13:12] <full> kien eres
[13:12] <sKew^> but over to my problem, my touchpad dosent work now :S
[13:12] <sKew^> what is the package name for toutchpad?
[13:13] <MonkeyDust> sKew^  same for you, you need gpoint somethin, it's in the repos / software center
[13:13] <Boreeas> Thanks everyone :)
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: the minimal installs the bare OS, you can then throw light desktops and such, like fluxbox on, and it will be slim and fast
[13:14] <bauernomlett> thanks for your advise- see ya
[13:14] <sKew^> bauernomlett, look at PM
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: exactly, same difference with openbox etc ;)
[13:15] <sKew^> sure, kkk
[13:15] <sKew^> ;)
[13:15] <sKew^> ActionParsnip, gpoint is the "package name for touchpad, i think i removed one of the packages yesterday when i fixed my sound and graphic card
[13:15] <zap0> how do i change the IP address?
[13:16] <viktor133> can anybody assist me with setting up a dual monitor for my laptop in maverick pls?
[13:16] <sKew^> zap0, cant change IP adress, you need to use proxy or VPN
[13:16] <theadmin> sKew^: Probably he wants to use a static local IP...
[13:16] <sKew^> zap0, you can change the macadress tho ^^
[13:17] <sKew^> theadmin, maby... sure that cud be somthing aswell
[13:17] <warfaren> viktor133: you running gnome or unity?

[13:28] <ActionParsnip> danik: np :)

[13:31] <ActionParsnip> DragonSlay: you got it ;)
[13:32] <MagPulse> uh
[13:32] <DragonSlay> :))
[13:32] <MagPulse> Is anyone free to help me with a problem?
[13:32] <theadmin> MagPulse: Most are here just for that ;) Ask it
[13:32] <MagPulse> Thanks, I'm a bit concerned I have a virus/system intrusion
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> !av
[13:33] <sKew^> damn i just wanna write "sudo rm -rf *"
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> !danger
[13:33] <MagPulse> A robotics voice started playing(it was espeak I think), and command line started by itself
[13:33] <warfaren> viktor133: are they both 1280x800 screens?
[13:33] <theadmin> MagPulse: Uh, check if something weird is running in background with htop
[13:33] <MagPulse> and when I tried to close it it opened itself, then closed again, then kept doing that
[13:34] <MagPulse> theadmin: Do I go "htop" in bash?
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> MagPulse: run:  users    and you'll see the connected users. Does anyone connect to the system, via SSH etc?
[13:34] <MagPulse> theadmin, I've already restarted though, so I'm not sure I'll find anything
[13:34] <warfaren> type htop and press enter?
[13:34] <theadmin> MagPulse: Check your crontab too. And yeah, that's a command. You can also use whatever the heck the default taskmanager is
[13:34] <warfaren> if you dont have it, sudo apt-get install htop
[13:34] <theadmin> MagPulse: Okay, hm, can you check your crontab? Run "crontab -e" in the terminal and pastebin it
[13:35] <sKew^> ubottu, sorry for posting it, i just want my damn toutchpad to work think i need to reinstall the driver but i dont know what driver u use!
[13:35] <sKew^> sorry for posting it, i just want my damn toutchpad to work think i need to reinstall the driver but i dont know what driver u use!
[13:35] <theadmin> MagPulse: Also check if there's something weird in your GUI's "Startup Apps"
[13:35] <MagPulse> theadmin, it says no crontab for me
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: what make and model is the system?
[13:36] <theadmin> MagPulse: Honestly I have no idea what might be causing such behaviour, sounds like someone got to your computer somehow and played some sort of a joke on you.
[13:36] <viktor133> i'm installing htop, the "unknown" monitor is set to 1360 x 768 (16:9)
[13:36] <warfaren> oh no need to do that. i wasnt telling you hehe
[13:36] <MagPulse> theadmin, hm, I'll pipe my crontab output to less and put it in pastebin
[13:36] <viktor133> oh, uhm, yeah...
[13:37] <theadmin> !who | warfaren, viktor133
[13:37] <sKew^> ActionParsnip, ubuntu 11.10 gnome 64-bit - HP envy 14" , i7 1.6ghz, 8gb ddr3, 1gb ddr3 ati hd radeon 5650, ocz ssd 240gb
[13:37] <warfaren> so viktor133 what kind of setup are you trying to get with your two screens? cloned? or 2 workspaces?
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: which envy, there are 5. The rest of the details I don't need
[13:38] <sKew^> kk 2 sec
[13:38] <viktor133> warfaren, 2 workspaces, mirrored does work (but the resolutions become fucked up)
[13:38] <sKew^> hp envy 14 - 1190eo
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: thanks, thats all I needed
[13:39] <oCean> viktor133: control your language here, please
[13:39] <sKew^> hehe np, sorry for the long unplessend info
[13:39] <warfaren> viktor133: true, well it looks in the screenshot like thats what you have?
[13:39] <DragonSlay> MagPulse, crontab -l will list the crontab entries
[13:39] <meadhikari> How would I install gedit plugin like http://gedit-folding.googlecode.com/files/folding.gedit-plugin  please help
[13:39] <MagPulse> theadmin, http://pastebin.com/zPLbt8Uk
[13:39] <MagPulse> dragonkeeper, thanks, I had to manually right-click copy lol
[13:39] <theadmin> MagPulse: Yeah, it's empty...
[13:40] <sKew^> ActionParsnip,  btw then you probebly can help me why me X is freezing some time :/ ?
[13:40] <theadmin> MagPulse: Go to "Startup Applications" (if you're using Gnome) and see if there's anything there
[13:40] <viktor133> warfaren, not really, i have a screen with the same wallpaper, but no way to use it, i can't drag any window there or open anything
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> !info xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[13:40] <MagPulse> theadmin, I'm running chkrootkit and the clam virus thing, do you recommend doing anything else(checking startup programs now)
[13:41] <Gentoo64> MagPulse: clamav will only scan for win viruses
[13:41] <theadmin> MagPulse: I dunno, the problem is honestly weird... Never had anything like that (unless you count my mouse randomly stopping working, but that's an Ubuntu bug)
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> !info synaptics-dkms
[13:41] <warfaren> viktor133: that sounds strange. so if you drag your windows to the right edge of your first screen, they dont appear on the second one?
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: http://linuxenvy.blogspot.com/2011/01/touchpad-fixed.html
[13:41] <sKew^> BrB 2min need a siggaret
[13:41] <sKew^> ActionParsnip, ty
[13:41] <MagPulse> theadmin, is there a commandline I can type to output my startup programs to show you guys?
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: there is a deb file you can install there, may help
[13:42] <MagPulse> Gentoo64, hm, so even if I had a linux virus it won't do much? :(
[13:42] <sKew^> i will try it out now
[13:42] <theadmin> MagPulse: I don't think Gnome stores them in any sane way, sorry >.< If you'd take a screenshot of the window, though...
[13:42] <Gentoo64> MagPulse: no because linux dont really have vruses
[13:42] <MagPulse> theadmin, plus everytime I try to view my system logs in log viewer the thing freezes up
[13:42] <Gentoo64> MagPulse: do you have wine installed?
[13:42] <viktor133> euhm, apparently, i should have payed more attention, to where my monitors are relative to each other *bit embarresed*
[13:43] <theadmin> MagPulse: Meh at the log viewer, browse them directly (go to /var/log/, they're all there)
[13:43] <MagPulse> Gentoo64, yeah, I think so too, I'm thinking it might be a targeted attack
[13:43] <Gentoo64> doubt it
[13:43] <Gentoo64> robot voice? lol
[13:43] <warfaren> viktor133: well thats basically how you have to use it
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: have you not seen that link?
[13:43] <MagPulse> theadmin, I tried gedit /var/log didn't work, trying with nautilus
[13:43] <theadmin> MagPulse: It's a folder xD
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> MagPulse: try less instead :)
[13:44] <theadmin> MagPulse: You can't open a folder in a text editor
[13:44] <MagPulse> theadmin, lol sorry bit of a linux noob
[13:44] <Gentoo64> MagPulse: cat /var/log/messages
[13:44] <DragonSlay> skynet hits ubuntu.
[13:44] <MagPulse> Gentoo64, thanks
[13:44] <sKew^> ActionParsnip, i tryed the .deb file, ubuntu software center got a  interral error
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> Gentoo64: use less, more readable unless you are Johnny5
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: install it in terminal, the output will be useful
[13:44] <Gentoo64> cat works..
[13:44] <sKew^> kk
[13:44] <warfaren> viktor133: im no multiscreen user myself so i dont know a lot about it but i helped with setting it up for some people
[13:45] <viktor133> ok, then i just have to find the right resolution. thnks a lot for the help
[13:45] <warfaren> viktor133: im sure there is some way to spawn windows on the other screen by default too
[13:45] <viktor133> warfaren, span?
[13:45] <MagPulse> theadmin, wow I can't read the log file at all no use
[13:46] <warfaren> viktor133: i suppose, it can be a bit of a pain when your screens dont have the same resolution
[13:46] <MagPulse> theadmin, I'm thinking if anything happened it was a bash commandline
[13:46] <warfaren> viktor133: spawn, create a window
[13:46] <DragonSlay> MagPulse,  use less /var/log/messages
[13:46] <MagPulse> theadmin, I checked history and I didn't see anything suspicious, is there a log of users that have previously connected to my machine
[13:46] <MagPulse> dragonkeeper, trying it now
[13:46] <sKew^> ActionParsnip, just type sudo ./"filename" ?
[13:47] <viktor133> warfaren, yeah, but they're different sizes (laptop), but i'll find something that's agreeable, thnks again
[13:47] <MagPulse> dragonkeeper, hm no messages in there
[13:47] <DragonSlay> MagPulse, btw i'm dragonslay
[13:47] <warfaren> viktor133: cool :)
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: no, it's:   sudo dpkg -i filename
[13:47] <MagPulse> DragonSlay, sorry pressed tab at "dragon"
[13:48] <MagPulse> DragonSlay, /var/log/messages is empty
[13:48] <MagPulse> The worst part is that espeak repeated the message three times and I didn't understand a thing it said
[13:48] <DragonSlay> MagPulse, sudo less /var/log/messages
[13:48] <sKew^> dpkg-deb: error: `synaptics-dkms_1.1.1_all.deb' is not a debian format archive

[13:49] <hail> any one on here with any experiance using quickly and python
[13:49] <MagPulse> DragonSlay, hm, its still empty
[13:49] <MagPulse> dragonkeeper, is there a command I can use to see current/previous users logged into my computer
[13:50] <warfaren> hail: youre typically better off just stating your actual question
[13:50] <ubuntuaddicted> curious about starting my rhythmbox library over. can't seem to locate the rhtyhmbox.rc or whatever the config file is.
[13:50] <DragonSlay> MagPulse, type in who
[13:50] <ubuntuaddicted> anyone help Ubu please?
[13:51] <MagPulse> DragonSlay, I see me and my ttys, is there a way to view a history of logged in users?
[13:51] <DragonSlay> MagPulse, sorry, i dunno about that..
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: I'd check the bugfile link on the page
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> ubuntuaddicted: what is Ubu?
[13:51] <MagPulse> DragonSlay, its k, thanks for your help
[13:51] <giuseppe_> I have a question: suppose I have a usb disk attached to my machine, the kernel assign to it a name under /dev (/dev/sdd; /dev/sdd1). well, then I disconnect my drive from the system, in this condition when I re-plug my disk the kernl assign to it a new mapping under dev for example /dev/sde - sde1.. anyone knows how to do to reassing to it the original mapping?
[13:51] <ubuntuaddicted> that's me
[13:52] <hail> cant figer out how to get python output into a buffer for use in a glade text view box
[13:52] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip, do you know where the rhythmbox rc file is?
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> ubuntuaddicted: try:  sudo updatedb; locate rhtyhmbox.rc
[13:52] <jrib> hail: #python
[13:53] <hail> thanks jrib i will try there
[13:53] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip, wasn't sure what the exact config name was, will try. thanks
[13:53] <warfaren> giuseppe_: perhaps your forgetting to safely remove it when unplugging it the first time? so that the old device does not disappear?
[13:53] <DragonSlay> MagPulse, found it in google that "last" will display login history
[13:53] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip, while I have your attention. do you know how to show which process is accessing a module?
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> ubuntuaddicted: try:  lsof | grep modulename
[13:54] <MonkeyDust> ubuntuaddicted  try lsmod
[13:54] <MagPulse> DragonSlay, thanks, I'm trying /var/log/auth.log too, but I can't understand most of that
[13:54] <giuseppe_> that 's true.. but.. in this case there is a way to forse the system to remap my drive to the original name under dev?
[13:55] <Luis_83> hello
[13:56] <MagPulse> DragonSlay, hm I only see me... This random espeak thing is freaking me out
[13:56] <danik> actionparsnip that helped me alot thx
[13:56] <Luis_83> no grils
[13:56] <MonkeyDust> Luis_83  wrong channel
[13:56] <danik> admin thx
[13:56] <sKew^> bahhh
[13:56] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip, ok, found it using find /home/ubu/ -name rhythmbox
[13:57] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip, thanks
[13:57] <sKew^> this is so mutch work now ....
[13:57] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip,  locate returned nothing :(
[13:57] <DragonSlay> MagPulse, it could be a bug..
[13:57] <danik> guys have fun
[13:57] <danik> bb
[13:58] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip, ok, thanks for the lsof help. i didn't think kdenlive would've been using raw1394.ko but it is
[13:58] <MagPulse> DragonSlay, Its one crazy bug lol
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> ubuntuaddicted: the OS can tell you a lot, Windows can't tell you that level of detail without 3rd party apps
[14:00] <DragonSlay> MagPulse, linux is 100% secure.
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> DragonSlay: no OS is 100% secure
[14:01] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip, oh, you don't need to sell me on Ubuntu. Been using for over 5 years and loving it!
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> ubuntuaddicted: :)
[14:01] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip, just not familar with every single command.......yet   lol
[14:01] <DragonSlay> ActionParsnip, but what about Linux ?
[14:02] <ubuntuaddicted> DragonSlay, yes
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> DragonSlay: its not 100% secure, the only secure OS is one that's not running
[14:02] <MagPulse> DragonSlay, I'm pretty confident about linux's security too, there's no widespread viruses for it, and for a system to be compromised it would have to be specifically targed. But that's what I'm worried about.
[14:02] <ubuntuaddicted> DragonSlay, anything in ubuntu is based on the linux kernel, so any linux distro can do the same thing at it's core
[14:03] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip, i would say it;s more secure then Windows only because 90% of viral stuff is written to impact windows registry, etc etc
[14:03] <LjL> DragonSlay: Linux isn't even particularly secure, it has a simple permission model, no mandatory access control by default, no proof of correctness for its code... (mind, OS's that have those things are usually very specialized)
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> ubuntuaddicted: true, but not 100%
[14:03] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip, when talking about browser holes, then that's a different story
[14:03] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip, is my % wrong? lol
[14:03] <ubuntuaddicted> 99%
[14:03] <ubuntuaddicted> sorry, off topic. will stop
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> ubuntuaddicted: maybe, its speculative, but its definately not 100%
[14:04] <Glowball> According to System Monitor, Xorg is using 632.5MiB of memory, I don't think it's meant to do that, right? :x
[14:04] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip, oh, i know there's viral stuff written for os x and linux but maybe what, 1%
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> Glowball: i'd say no
[14:04] <ThinkT510> ubuntuaddicted: also you can't secure against uneducated users :)
[14:04] <ubuntuaddicted> ThinkT510, of course not
[14:04] <AlanBell> Glowball: it can do, depends how much memory you have
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> ubuntuaddicted: virus resillience is not security
[14:04] <ubuntuaddicted> Glowball, sounds like your xorg has a mem leak
[14:04] <Glowball> 4GB, but it's really WAY less after a reboot
[14:04]  * DragonSlay says thanks guys..
[14:05] <ubuntuaddicted> Glowball, what ubuntu you using?
[14:05] <andyn> viruses for osx are rather rare, but trojans are common
[14:05] <Glowball> 10.10
[14:05] <Glowball> (No Unity for me yet)
[14:05] <qmr> How can I broadcast a window on my desktop to the world?
[14:05] <qmr> How can I broadcast a window on my desktop to the world?
[14:05] <ubuntuaddicted> guys, i was trying to use general terms the average user understands
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Glowball: you can use XFCE in Oneiric and not get Unity..
[14:05] <ubuntuaddicted> Glowball, you have a memory leak
[14:06] <Glowball> I know, but then I still don't have my GNOME desktop
[14:06] <ubuntuaddicted> Glowball, im with you, me no go unity YET
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> Glowball: it uses GTK, your gnome apps will run just fine
[14:06] <Glowball> I'll keep using 10.10 as long as it's supported, I'll see whatever I'll do afterwards
[14:06] <ubuntuaddicted> 10.04.3 for me
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> Glowball: maverick is EOL in April
[14:06] <AlanBell> qmr: possibly using vnc
[14:06] <Glowball> I know
[14:06] <sKew^> hmmm maby just make a new usb pendrive and reinstall hole system?
[14:06] <Glowball> April is not now :)
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: does it work in liveCD?
[14:07] <qmr> AlanBell: rather have something where I can give out a public URL, and a certain portion of my desktop is broadcast
[14:07] <ubuntuaddicted> Glowball, my xorg is at 158 and holding. uptime is only around 7 days though
[14:07] <DragonSlay> Glowball, MATE is developed from gnome2. you can try that fot the moment.
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> Glowball: its not far away though. I use LXDE and run all the gnome apps you probably use, no unity bar
[14:07] <sKew^> ActionParsnip, the tutchpad?
[14:07] <Glowball> In Februari, I've got some time on my hands to get a second pc and toy with Unity/Shell/MATE/Cinnamon/GNOME3 fallback/whatever
[14:07] <sKew^> evereting work like a sharm in LiveCD mode
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> DragonSlay: mate won't be supported here, depends if you like support or not
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: try a clean install then
[14:07] <Glowball> February* (in Dutch it's with an i..)
[14:07] <ubuntuaddicted> ActionParsnip, can you point me to exact website for changes from 10.10 to 11.04 or first unity desktop?
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> ubuntuaddicted: ubuntu is in Natty and later
[14:08] <sKew^> ActionParsnip, yeah but i dont wanna lose all my files and i wass a jerk i encrypted the hole HDD so i can use gparted :S
[14:08] <Glowball> ubuntuaddicted: Well, my uptime is only just over 1 day :(
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> ubuntuaddicted: if you search for: what is new in Maverick   you'll find what is new in maverick (change release name as you need)
[14:08] <ThinkT510> !unity | ubuntuaddicted
[14:08] <AlanBell> qmr: I would do it with vncserver, maybe sharing the whole desktop of a virtual machine
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: but you have your important data backed up...
[14:09] <AlanBell> qmr: or perhaps a google hangout or something
[14:09] <Glowball> Right, *SOMETHING* just happened, as it fell back down to 50MiB O.o I wonder if it's just System Monitor messing up, as I've seen Firefox doing the same thing earlier today :/
[14:09] <sKew^> ActionParsnip, no:( iam in a new country i just got this computer and
[14:09] <sKew^> i will try to make my ipod as a external hdd
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: USB storage devices exist in many countries
[14:10] <AlanBell> Glowball: is it causing a problem?
[14:10] <Glowball> No, wait. I've got *two* instances of Xorg running in System Monitor. One is using 50MB of memory, the other is still at 630MB
[14:10] <sKew^> acmeinc1, sure but iam not ritch :P if you know i got a 4tb server back in norway ect
[14:10] <sKew^> ;P
[14:10] <ubuntuaddicted> Glowball, firefox is a hog, try chrome beta
[14:10] <DragonSlay> ubuntuaddicted, firefox 9 is less on memory
[14:11] <sKew^> i will try to backup things on USB pens, just need to remove some programs ect
[14:11] <Glowball> ubuntuaddicted: Chrome is more resource intensive by design and its lay-out is unusable for me, so I'll just stay with it :)
[14:11] <Glowball> with Firefox*, that is
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: should have installed openssh-server, port forwarded port 22 and you have a remote SFTP server
[14:11] <ubuntuaddicted> DragonSlay, ok
[14:11] <sKew^> i know but slow wifi ;P
[14:11] <ubuntuaddicted> Glowball, ok, so your xorg issue went from 600+ mb of memory to 50?
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> Glowball: I use the daily build on mid to low end systems, runs well
[14:12] <MagPulse> clc
[14:12] <Glowball> ubuntuaddicted: No, I saw it wrong. Apparently there are two instances of Xorg in System Monitor. One of them is using 50MB, the other is still using 630MB...
[14:12] <MagPulse> uh, sorry about that
[14:12] <ubuntuaddicted> Glowball, ouch
[14:12] <Glowball> Right click > Memory Maps doesn't show anything
[14:12] <ubuntuaddicted> Glowball,  very weird, what does top say?
[14:12] <AlanBell> Glowball: can you do ps aux |grep X
[14:12] <Seveas> Glowball, use xrestop to find out which app abuses most X memory
[14:13] <pater> oh
[14:13] <Glowball> AlanBell: http://pastebin.com/83PdScyy
[14:13] <DragonSlay> are there any security related channels in irc?
[14:13] <sKew^> acmeinc1, can u help me make a USB whit 2 partitions, one for the boot live image and rest for saving data on?
[14:14] <AlanBell> Glowball: ooh, you really are running two X servers, any idea why?
[14:14] <ubuntuaddicted> Glowball, are you using the dipsplay at :1?
[14:14] <pater> *_*
[14:14] <sKew^> ActionParsnip, can u help me make a USB whit 2 partitions, one for the boot live image and rest for saving data on?
[14:14] <ubuntuaddicted> Glowball, duel display or vnc?
[14:14] <ubuntuaddicted> sKew^, i can
[14:14] <ThinkT510> !usb | sKew^
[14:14] <ubuntuaddicted> sKew^, i run a 16gb verbatem for that exact reason now
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> sKew^  it's what i have, i used gparted
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: use gparted
[14:15] <sKew^> kk, works on SDHC card aswell?
[14:15] <ubuntuaddicted> sKew^, you don't even need 2 partitions. is this a flash drive?
[14:15] <Glowball> AlanBell: Nope, no clue. I might have added and removed another monitor yesterday, but I'm not sure.
[14:15] <sKew^> yes USB-pen/flashdrive
[14:15] <AlanBell> Glowball: do you have two graphics cards?
[14:15] <Glowball> No
[14:15] <ThinkT510> !away | NameLess-Busy
[14:16] <NameLess-Busy> oh whhops, didn't know i was here :D
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> sKew^  plugin the thumbdrive, you can then choose it in gparted
[14:16] <ubuntuaddicted> sKew^, check out multisystem   its awesome. I run 4 linux distros and yet still run portable apps in windows all from 1 partition on a 16gb verbatem
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> ubuntuaddicted  i use multisystem on that thumdrive :)
[14:16] <ubuntuaddicted> sKew^, check private channel
[14:16] <sKew^> to mutch now
[14:16] <ubuntuaddicted> MonkeyDust, i love my 16gb flash drive. My friends call it my magic stick
[14:17] <pater> ...
[14:17] <AlanBell> Glowball: ok, so your :0 display would normally be the main one, and that is using a fairly epic amount of ram, the :1 display isn't really using much, and it is a bit of a puzzle that it is there
[14:17] <MagPulse> hey guys, the /var/log logs don't automatically delete themselves when you restart/after a set amount of time right?
[14:17] <ubuntuaddicted> so I can do whatever I want in windows, os x, and ubuntu all from 1 little stick. lol
[14:17] <MagPulse> and whats the difference between syslog and syslog.1?
[14:17] <ubuntuaddicted> MagPulse, yes they do
[14:17] <AlanBell> MagPulse: no, they mostly get compressed
[14:18] <ubuntuaddicted> syslog is current, syslog.1 is older and so son
[14:18] <MagPulse> ubuntuaddicted, uh.. when the comp restarts?
[14:18] <AlanBell> MagPulse: syslog gets copied to syslog.1 after a while, then they get older and older ones are compressed
[14:18] <ubuntuaddicted> AlanBell, they eventually get deetled UNLESS you customized it
[14:18] <MagPulse> AlanBell, ubuntuaddicted lol not sure who I should listen to
[14:18] <sKew^> ubuntuaddicted,  i need to make a tumbdrive whit ubuntu, crunch bang linux, etc
[14:18] <MagPulse> ubuntuaddicted, whats the timeframe before they get deleted
[14:18] <ubuntuaddicted> MagPulse, no, it's within the log conf file
[14:19] <ubuntuaddicted> MagPulse, send me a private chat request
[14:19] <AlanBell> ubuntuaddicted: good point, they do get cleaned up in the end
[14:19] <ubuntuaddicted> AlanBell, otherwise peoples systems would fill and not boot. lol
[14:19] <sKew^> is it away to undecrypt the HDD ? i encrypted it wen i installed ubuntu?!
[14:20] <Pitroadrush> ubuntu 11.10 how i can install the theme, when I go to advance settings it doesnt show it
[14:20] <Glowball> Seveas: This are the top entries from xrestop: http://pastebin.com/F4aXMukt
[14:21] <Glowball> But it looks like that's the 50MB Xorg?
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> sKew^: there are tools for that stuff. http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB  Nice script there too, it'll need tweaking a bit
[14:21] <tellone> the mouse-cursor just froze, i rebooted it was fine for a minute now it froze again, does this happen?

[14:24] <Pitroadrush> ubuntu 11.10 how i can install the theme, when I go to advance settings it doesnt show it
[14:25] <Glowball> Is there any way I can restart X without losing my entire session?
[14:25] <Glowball> I could live with such a workaround
[14:25] <Pitroadrush> ubuntu 11.10 how i can install the theme, when I go to advance settings it doesnt show it
[14:26] <owenll> Pitroadrush: you need to copy the theme folder to /usr/share/themes/
[14:26] <andyn> or .themes under home
[14:26] <Pitroadrush> let me try that
[14:26] <Pitroadrush> give a mint
[14:27] <owenll> Pitroadrush: andyn suggestion is better and easier than mine
[14:27] <mang0> Holy moly
[14:27] <Pitroadrush> drag them to that folder
[14:28] <mang0> ActionParsnip, I installed 11.10, I can't use it D: where is everything?!
[14:28] <mang0> Lol
[14:28] <ubuntuaddicted> i love how busy this channel is

[14:29] <Philipp_> hi...i need help installing mythbuntu...is this the right channel?
[14:29] <AlanBell> Glowball: not really the way you have stuff at the moment, there are things you can do to have applications persistent across x sessions and moveable between x sessions, but you have to do that before you run them

[14:44] <ThinkT510> x3no: take a look in your home folder under .wine
[14:44] <x3no> LjL thanks
[14:45] <ctcsadmin> I was just thinking, someone should (or probably have) make a google bot that picks up on question phrases, does a search, and responds with a few results.
[14:46] <vreg> "Does this make me look fat?"
[14:46] <LjL> ctcsadmin: that's not really in the spirit of this channel, but if you want, discuss it in #ubuntu-ops
[14:46] <mang0> vreg, definitely.

[14:47] <wireless> tsurc..does 12.04 have a newer kernel?
[14:47] <ctcsadmin> LjL, figured…. was just a random thought, or maybe make a trigger incase no one is around.
[14:48] <ctcsadmin> LjL, or….. they could just point their browser at google.com ;-)
[14:48] <ctcsadmin> lol
[14:48] <tellone> free -m returned , Total=2895    Used=2353  free=542, is that bad enough for the cursor to freeze?

[14:48] <ctcsadmin> There will be no more google if SOPA is passed…. :-(
[14:48] <DJones> tsurc: Probably better asking in #ubuntu+1 for queries with 12.04, thats the support channel for the development version
[14:49] <oCean> ctcsadmin: please stay on topic

[14:53] <wireless> jwtiyar: I like using gparted for all formating...
[14:53] <wireless> but...
[14:53] <Pitroadrush> it should show at advance settings
[14:53] <Pitroadrush> ?
[14:53] <jwtiyar> wireless, how?
[14:53] <wireless> you can format by going to computer....and right clicking the drive...format. I believe
[14:53] <wireless> jwtiyar.... if you dont have it....sudo apt-get install gparted
[14:53] <wireless> if you do...type sudo gparted
[14:54] <wireless> its pretty easy to figure out from there..
[14:54] <wireless> but I think how you can also do it is goto......places.....computer.....
[14:54] <wireless> right click the drive...
[14:54] <wireless> and I believe there is a format option
[14:54] <Pitroadrush> ubuntu 11.10
[14:54] <wireless> I just like gparted cuz it has many options
[14:54] <Pitroadrush> i send the packages to .themes now what

[15:01] <mang0> Heh, fair enough :P
[15:02] <tsurc> my hardware supports ipv6, Ive even had it working out the box on centos6 but 12.04... nada :( not a bean

[15:13] <oCean> tellone: is it listen in the output of  swapon -s  command?

[15:22] <jez9999> Hi.  Does anyone know a better ZIP cracker for Linux than fcrackzip?
[15:22] <LjL> k3n: openjdk6-jdk or openjdk7-jdk will work
[15:22] <tellone> !hu|me
[15:23] <Pitroadrush> there is nothing on shell extensions:
[15:24] <wireless> jez9999: shoot I used to use many diff zip crackers when I played wargames..I cant remember the names but I know they exist
[15:24] <wireless> fcrackzp is the best though
[15:24] <Pitroadrush> and on "shell theme" there is no option to chose from mather of fact
[15:24] <jez9999> the best?  hmm, that's not good.
[15:24] <wireless> why?
[15:24] <wireless> Some passwords just take too long to crack
[15:24] <jez9999> i mean, it outputs to the console for each password it tried.  this is going to slow things down massively.
[15:24] <qmr> k3n: sun java JDK
[15:24] <jez9999> it should be outputting statistics, "x passwords checked / second"
[15:24] <wireless> you can make it not output
[15:24] <wireless> put it in silent modew
[15:24] <Pitroadrush> it has a admiration exclamation
[15:25] <jez9999> yeah, i dont want it silent either
[15:25] <jez9999> i want a summary
[15:25] <qmr> k3n: just the JRE to run, JDK to compile.  some people will say openjdk is ok or just as good.  don't listen to them
[15:25] <wireless> it should have that option
[15:25] <jez9999> its own documentation says it's a dodgy alpha release.
[15:25] <jez9999> and its web page is dead.
[15:25] <wireless> really??
[15:25] <wireless> use backtrack 5
[15:25] <wireless> its a security distro
[15:25] <qmr> jez9999: the wonderful world of open source software!
[15:25] <wireless> has tons of tools. lots of different crackers
[15:25] <wireless> it also runs on ubunut
[15:25] <wireless> sortof
[15:26] <wireless> you can also just add the backtrack repositories..but beware you can run into some issues
[15:26] <jez9999> "bugs: It's still early alpha"
[15:26] <jez9999> :-)
[15:26] <jez9999> "stop/resume facility is missing"
[15:26] <jez9999> "could be faster"
[15:26] <jez9999> im hoping there is something better
[15:27] <wireless> I'm runnin fcrackzip 1.0.2
[15:27] <jez9999> and its manpage has a bugs section?
[15:27] <tjiggi_fo> Pitroadrush, do you know that the downloaded file has a shell theme and not just a window theme?
[15:28] <wireless> shoot maybe there isnt an alternative
[15:28] <wireless> I used to crack rars too
[15:28] <Pitroadrush> ok tjiggi_fo
[15:28] <wireless> but I'm reading that fcrackzip is the only open source option
[15:28] <Nikki_> ActionParsnip: Can you help me yet?
[15:28] <wireless> I find that hard to believe though
[15:28] <oCean> wireless, jez9999 please note that all illegal activity is offtopic here, including pw cracking
[15:28]  * LjL sighs a little
[15:29] <tjiggi_fo> just a little
[15:29] <Pitroadrush> it has the whole package thoug
[15:29] <wireless> cracking zips isnt illegal!  I used to crack zips for hacker challenge games...ive never cracked a zip for illegal reasons...for real..but okay.   Not all cracking is malicious
[15:30] <qmr> Linux wouldn't be what it is today without hackers.  breaking into an arbitrary zip archive is not illegal.
[15:30] <tjiggi_fo> Pitroadrush, just look at the window theme to see if is indeed possible
[15:30] <LjL> Pitroadrush: please stop calling things "retarded"

[15:30] <jez9999> oCean: last time I checked, finding the forgotten password to your own ZIP wasn't illegal :-)
[15:31] <qmr> might be under the DMCA.  but just about everything is illegal under the DMCA
[15:31] <jez9999> qmr++
[15:31] <qmr> QuantumQuanta: I recommend installing eclipse from eclipse's website
[15:31] <QuantumQuanta> qmr: not to sound like a baby, but why?
[15:32] <wireless> whats DMCA?
[15:32] <Pitroadrush> im looking at it and it has all the files to be a theme
[15:32] <qmr> QuantumQuanta: newer version.  last I looked the one in ubuntu was rather old.  once you install it it's self updating though.  I just have mine in ~/eclipse/
[15:33] <QuantumQuanta> Oh, at least it updates itself, that's why I usually try to use an ubuntu package

[15:38] <openSSO> Hello... needing help reinstalling ITALC. Made mistake of installing from source instead of packages. Now every time I try to run ITALC even after complete reinstallations I get error libItalcCore.so not found.
[15:40] <osmodivs> Hello. For some strange reason I can't login to the LinuxMint server, but, since that distro is based in Ubuntu, I'll ask here. I backed up all my files with mintBackup 2.0.7 and now I am restoring my files to a new fresh intall of Mint12, but Why is the restored folders have root permissions? Does that means I need to chmod all of them?
[15:41] <theadmin> osmodivs: Sorry, Mint is not supported here... But yes, likely so. mintbackup runs as root for some weird reason.
[15:41] <theadmin> osmodivs: Any further questions should be asked in irc.spotchat.org/linuxmint-help
[15:41] <andycc> osmodivs: sudo chown (yourusername) *
[15:41] <theadmin> andycc: -R
[15:41] <andycc> Sorry, chown --recursive
[15:42] <openSSO> Repeating: I need help uninstalling ITALC completely. Everytime I try to I still get error libItalcCore.so missing when trying to run ITALC. This started after attempting to install from source (it didn't apparently give any build errors though)
[15:42] <osmodivs> andycc: chown OR chmod ?
[15:42] <andycc> osmodivs: chown (change owner)
[15:42] <theadmin> openSSO: If you installed from source, search for uninstall instructions on their site, we can't really help with that
[15:43] <openSSO> theadmin: I did... it did not work
[15:43] <theadmin> osmodivs: sudo chown -R your_user:your_group /path/to/blah/*
[15:43] <f1assistance> what is a good WLAN Wi-Fi Mini PCI Card for my Dell lappy that won't have a driver issue?
[15:44] <osmodivs> ok, Yhx
[15:44] <meco> How do I stop ntpd?
[15:44] <openSSO> ...are there any specific directories I can completely remove that would contain anything ITALC that may be left on the system after uninstallation?
[15:44] <andycc> meco: sudo service stop ntpd
[15:44] <hansg01> is there any way by i can restore unity?
[15:44] <theadmin> openSSO: No, not really, see, Linux places stuff according to the FHS law. That is, binaries under /usr/bin, configs under /etc, and so on -- we have no "Program Files" nor directories for specific programs.
[15:45] <andycc> openSSO: unless you installed it in /opt/italc or something.
[15:45] <alaing> how can i config ufw to allow connections from my LAN internal network ? it is accepting outstide connections just not internal
[15:45] <hansg01> i upgraded to unity 5.0 and now i downgraded and it crashed
[15:45] <hansg01> left only with gnome
[15:45] <theadmin> openSSO: find / -iname '*italc*' -print 2>/dev/null # might be of help.
[15:45] <xptical> Hi all.  Getting ready to install Ubuntu on my laptop.  Should I create partitions for /home and /boot?  Or just create a / partition and a swap partition?
[15:46] <meco> andycc: stop: unrecognized service
[15:46] <geirha> hansg01: The newer unity probably left some configuration in your homedir that is not compatible with the older version.
[15:46] <andycc> xptical: I suggest you use separate partitions for / and /home. And swap, of course.
[15:46] <theadmin> xptical: A separate /boot nowadays is hardly ever needed. You may *wish* to create a separate home for further reinstalls.
[15:47] <openSSO> theadmin: Really? I understand there is no program files on Linux... but directories get left behind almost all the time even after purging the program. This has caused problems before with other programs I tried to reinstall... and finding and removing those directories tend to do the trick. I cannot find any directories left behind by italc except a .desktop file
[15:47] <andycc> meco: oh, sorry. sudo service ntpd stop
[15:47] <theadmin> openSSO: Well might be some stuff in /etc and any files in your home directory/directories
[15:48] <theadmin> openSSO: I'm not too familiar with iTALC
[15:48] <meco> andycc: ntpd: unrecognized service
[15:48] <andycc> openSSO: the lack of a program files dir is why package management was invented.
[15:48] <hansg01> geirha: one more thing i also ran apt-get autoremove after upgrading to unity 5.0 so may be i lost some imp components of unity 4 and i m jst left with gnome 3?
[15:48] <xptical> How big should / be?  I have a 400gb hdd.
[15:48] <bubuz> hi guys, what directories are not advisable to copy from one server on say ubuntu 11.04 to another server running 11.04? The first server is in ec2 and the 2nd server will be on vmware if that makes a difference..?
[15:48] <openSSO> theadmin: I'll check /etc hang on... I might go ahead and try once again to reinstall italc
[15:49] <andycc> meco: well, try with "ntp" then. I never tried to meddle with ntpd myself.
[15:49] <theadmin> xptical: I suggest you do about 30-40GB for / and rest for /home, about 2GB for swap
[15:49] <geirha> hansg01: No, the reinstall of unity 4 should've sorted out anything like that.
[15:49] <meco> andycc: ntp: unrecognized service
[15:49] <geirha> hansg01: Try creating a new user on your system, then log in with that user and see if unity works.
[15:50] <Auriga> Is there a way of telling apt-get to resolve dependencies during an install?
[15:50] <hansg01> geirha: okay
[15:51] <theadmin> Auriga: Huh?... It *always* does that, this isn't slackpkg or something
[15:51] <andycc> Auriga: apt-get already does that, it's pretty much why it exists.
[15:51] <Auriga> theadmin, andycc Right now it's not doing that...
[15:51] <andycc> Auriga: any specifics? What package are you trying to install?
[15:52] <Auriga> andycc, qtsixa
[15:52] <Auriga> andycc, It's for a ps3 controller,.
[15:52] <oCean> !info qtsixa
[15:52] <theadmin> Auriga: How is it "not doing it", exactly?
[15:53] <oCean> Auriga: so it's not in the official ubuntu repositories
[15:53] <geirha> Auriga: Sounds like that package fails to list its dependancies. Whoever created that package did a sloppy job.
[15:53] <Auriga> Error comes back saying it needs python-qt4
[15:53] <theadmin> Auriga: This package is not from official repos, so APT knows *nothing* about it. How is it supposed to look dependencies up?... I mean, if it's in a PPA or something it might, though.
[15:53] <oCean> Auriga: contact the maintainers of that package
[15:53] <andycc> Auriga: well, install python-qt4 then?
[15:54] <Auriga> Which in turn brings more depends on lists...
[15:54] <oCean> Auriga: of course, since it's not in the official repositories
[15:54] <Auriga> andycc, Yeah I tried that...
[15:54] <andycc> Auriga: and apt is not resolving the dependencies of python-qt4?
[15:55] <Auriga> andycc, No.
[15:55] <andycc> Auriga: not sure what to say then. Try using aptitude instead of apt-get.
[15:55] <Auriga> I'm looking through aynaptic right now..
[15:55] <tsurc> anyone had any problems with 12.04 and Ipv6? Im not seeing any router advertisements from my router, yet both my galaxy nexus and this very laptop when it was running centos6 see them fine... its odd because I can ping the router with using its link-local address.
[15:56] <oCean> tsurc: Precise/12.04 is not yet released (still alpha). Please /join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion
[15:57] <Auriga> Good call on aptitude...
[15:57] <jwtiyar> how i can reinstall bootloader from win7? to boot ubuntu again
[15:57] <UniTe> Are there any good proxy checkers for Ubuntu, so i can paste a large file of proxys and test if they are live or not
[15:58] <tsurc> oCean, might give 11.10 a try, shame though because I am kinda getting used to unity (Ive been a centos user fro about 3 years)
[15:58] <f1assistance> looking for a mini pci wireless card for my Dell Latitude C610 running Xubuntu, any suggestions?
[15:58] <theadmin> !recovergrub | jwtiyar
[15:58] <theadmin> !restoregrub | jwtiyar
[15:58] <Abhijit> !hardware | f1assistance
[15:59] <jwtiyar> theadmin, i know about it ,
[15:59] <f1assistance> ubottu: Thanks!
[15:59]  * ubuntuaddicted is away: I'm busy
[15:59] <theadmin> jwtiyar: Well, you can't do it *from* Windows, sorry. You can install plop though, and that will boot your Linux install just fine. It's a bit ugly though.
[15:59] <LjL> !away > ubuntuaddicted
[15:59] <theadmin> !away > ubuntuaddicted
[16:00]  * ubuntuaddicted is away: leaving sorry
[16:00] <ubuntuaddicted> sorry guys
[16:00] <ubuntuaddicted> didn't know, it's an xchat message
[16:00] <ubuntuaddicted> i apologize
[16:00] <jwtiyar> theadmin, the problem is that when go into livecd it cant connect to wireless so i have to fix it from win,.
[16:00] <d3eniz> anyone know how to get twinview with nvidia to work properly with 11.10?
[16:00] <ubuntuaddicted> theadmin, i unchecked that settings in xchat. have a good day guys
[16:01] <theadmin> jwtiyar: I see, that's okay, well, try installing the plop bootloader to boot into your Linux install, then, from it, fix grub as described in the article.
[16:01] <jwtiyar> theadmin, thank i will see
[16:02] <theadmin> jwtiyar: There's also grub4dos but idk if it really works anymore. Also, supergrubdisk.
[16:02] <jwtiyar> theadmin, which is better?
[16:02] <theadmin> jwtiyar: I'd go with plop myself because, well, it's probably the easiest
[16:02] <Auriga> Thanks for the help andycc & the two or three others...
[16:03] <jwtiyar> theadmin, ok thanks
[16:03] <Auriga> aptitude install python-qt4 worked, which in turn allowed qtsixa to install flawlessly.
[16:05] <d3eniz> anyone know how to get twinview with nvidia to work properly with 11.10?
[16:08] <bubuz> if i want to copy users/groups/installed applications/dependencies etc from one server to another which folders do i need to copy?? /var/ /etc/ /usr/ lib/ ?
[16:10] <hansg01> is there anyway that i can restore unity?
[16:10] <tjiggi_fo> !clone | bubuz
[16:11] <hansg01> i lost unity when i upgraded to unity 5.0
[16:11] <kimu> For the second time I've downloaded ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso from ubuntu.com. When I try to mount the image I got an error telling that there is not mountable filesystem on the disk. Is the image corrupted? Anyone knows where to get a working iso?
[16:11] <tjiggi_fo> bubuz, dunno that clone will do users though
[16:11] <LjL> !md5sums | kimu
[16:11] <kimu> right, I try
[16:14] <bubuz> i could try DD but as its going from ec2 xen architechture to vmware i dont know if want to clone the kernel etc..
[16:14] <bubuz> so i dont know if just copying over certain needed directoreis is easier
[16:15] <bubuz> cant get remastersys iso to boot
[16:16] <ubuntu> hi
[16:16] <grungekid> Anyone connecting there xbox360 to xbox live using internet connection sharing and 11.10?
[16:16] <grungekid> I have it all set up I just cant seem to work out opening the ports using ufw
[16:17] <grungekid> They seem to be open but the 360 is still showing moderate nat
[16:17] <ubuntu> ls
[16:17] <ubuntu> oops
[16:18] <bubuz> ubottu, will that command also take care of the config files for the packages? :/
[16:18] <bubuz> hah
[16:18] <Joah> hi, all
[16:18] <Joah> i'm having an issue with ufw and port forwarding
[16:18] <Joah> i found http://serverfault.com/questions/238563/can-i-use-ufw-to-setup-a-port-forward through google
[16:18] <Joah> but that method is not working
[16:18] <kimu> LjL: checksum is correct. Any idea? I'm working form a Mac Osx at the moment, but I don't see how this could make any difference
[16:18] <Joah> any ideas?
[16:20] <LjL> kimu: well i have no idea which filesystems Mac OS recognizes, but i assumed a CD filesystem would be recognized. why do you need to mount it anyway? can't just burn it?
[16:20] <theadmin> bubuz: No, it won't. Also, if you want a complete clone I beleive it'd be easiest to just... tar cjf my.tar.bz2 / --exclude /tmp --exclude /home --exclude /dev --exclude /sys --exclude any_other_directories_you_dont_really_need # Something like that.
[16:20] <ctcsadmin> How do I auto detect displays in 11.10?
[16:20] <kimu> LjL: I make a try
[16:20] <ctcsadmin> The nvidia x server do it? What is the command?
[16:23] <d3eniz> Hello all. Need somehelp please. I'v been searching the interweebles for information on how to get Twinview working for my dualmonitors (Nvidia drivers)
[16:23] <d3eniz> Cant find any solution =/
[16:24] <Glacia> is there an ubuntu server edition?
[16:25] <LjL> Glacia: yes
[16:25] <GridCube> !server
[16:26] <Nikki_> Glacia: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download
[16:26] <Glacia> with instructions on how it works? i have two computers that arent being used... i was thinking about raiding them together with a server installed on it
[16:27] <Glacia> but i know nothing about how to do that
[16:27] <GridCube> Glacia, join #ubuntu-server
[16:27] <LjL> raiding two *computers* together?
[16:27] <LjL> how does that work?
[16:28] <GridCube> !cluster | LjL
[16:28] <LjL> well "RAID" is a specific thing, and a cluster is another different specific thing
[16:29] <Seveas> LjL, I'm guessing he means drbd. It has characteristics of both.
[16:29] <GridCube> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Clustering
[16:29] <GridCube> there
[16:29] <LjL> Seveas: nice
[16:29] <Glacia> i dont know i saw a video where a guy built three computers into one case with two of them connected in what i thought he said raid
[16:29] <GridCube> raid is just for hard disks
[16:30] <Seveas> LjL, or something really evil with nbd and dm
[16:30] <hansg01> is there any way by which i can reinstall unity
[16:30] <hansg01> ?
[16:30] <Seveas> though that'd border on insanity
[16:30] <LjL> Seveas: so that's what you use?
[16:30] <Seveas> LjL, nope, I use simple raid 1+0 or raid 5 with local disks
[16:30] <Glacia> ummm..... but you say i can cluster them and use both as a server?
[16:30] <GridCube> Glacia, LjL https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Clustering
[16:30] <Seveas> or raid 6 on the netapp
[16:30] <pietro10> Hi. Every time I start up, Firefox switches to the Australian English dictionary, and I'm not sure what dictionary other Ubuntu programs use. Is there a system-wide reason for this or is this something contained in Firefox? Thanks.
[16:31] <Seveas> LjL, I may be crazy, but work isn't :)
[16:31] <Glacia> i love sparking conversations lol
[16:32] <UniTe> Simple command.. how do i see how much diskspace ive used.. ive totally forgotten
[16:32] <gogasan> Hello! How to set contrast config to default in ubuntu using terminal?
[16:32] <Seveas> UniTe, df -h
[16:32] <Masters> hi guys
[16:33] <Masters> just wanna know, is it possible to move the sidebar to the bottom?
[16:33] <specing> Hello, I've recently moved my ubuntu installation(the harddrive) to another computer and now sound output does not work, what can/should I do about it?
[16:33] <UniTe> Seveas: cheers mate
[16:33] <bubuz> theadmin, bad idea to copy /proc for clone?
[16:34] <Seveas> Masters, I think someone wrote an addon to do just that, but I don't know much about it. Try googling 'unity addon sidebar bottom'
[16:34] <Masters> cool thanks
[16:34] <Seveas> bubuz, yes. /proc /sys and /dev shouldn't be copied
[16:34] <Glacia> now i know this noobish but what can i do with my own server? im really just trying to find effective neat things to do with my old computer instead of trashing them
[16:34] <bubuz> and /boot i take it
[16:34] <Glacia> this is^
[16:34] <bubuz> thx Seveas
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> Masters: omgubuntu has a how to
[16:34] <Masters> I found it :)
[16:34] <Masters> thanks
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> Masters: there is a 3rd party ppa, it may break some things
[16:34] <LjL> Glacia: well that entirely depends on what you need, maybe ask in #ubuntu-offtopic though as it's not really support. i'll tell you what i do with mine.
[16:35] <Seveas> bubuz, /boot can be copied just fine
[16:35] <Masters> gah everyone just came in
[16:35] <Masters> I gotta go
[16:35] <Masters> I'll come back when I get time
[16:35] <Masters> thanks for the info
[16:35] <bubuz> from a 11.04 instance in ec2 to a vmware install on vsphere?
[16:35] <theadmin> bubuz: No, no need to copy the kernel over, install the appropriate one yourself.
[16:36] <theadmin> bubuz: Most of the time the "generic" kernel installed by default will work though
[16:36] <UniTe> Is there anyway i cant stop users without root access from being able to use the comment 'df' ?
[16:37] <bubuz> ok
[16:37] <bubuz> thx theadmin
[16:37] <theadmin> UniTe: sudo chmod a-x $(which df)
[16:38] <kimu> LjL: once burned it works, quite odd, tx for help
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> UniTe: you can run:  sudo chown 700 /bin/df   as the file is owned by root:root
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> UniTe: it will mean the only person with any access at all is root
[16:38] <Seveas> ActionParsnip, you mean chmod :P
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> d'oh
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> UniTe: chmod, not chown
[16:38] <theadmin> Bah, chown, chmod... Always mess the two up :D
[16:38] <UniTe> ActionParsnip: ;p np
[16:38] <UniTe> theadmin: cheers
[16:39] <theadmin> UniTe: np
[16:39] <Seveas> ActionParsnip, but that only disables the 'df' command, not the syscalls that do the actual work. Any user can copy over his own 'df' and run it
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> Seveas: cheers dude
[16:39] <DoYouKnow> what could cause vertical stripes when using a RCA to USB converter?
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> Seveas: surely as it isn't writable by user, it won't be possible?
[16:39] <DoYouKnow> they are different shades of grey
[16:39] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Sure will be
[16:39] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Add something like ~/.bin as the first folder in $PATH
[16:40] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Done :D
[16:40] <Seveas> ActionParsnip, scp /bin/df some.server:/home/seveas/bin/df ; ssh some.server; /home/seveas/bin/df
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: true
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> Seveas: gotcha
[16:40] <Timmmm> Hi! Long shot, but does anyone know if Google are planning to ever update MapView to use the vector-based rendering system that has been in gmaps for ages, rather than the old tile-based raster system it currently uses (as used in the old gmaps)?
[16:40] <hansg01> any assistance?
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> Seveas: same difference to theadmin's solution
[16:40] <Seveas> If you really want only root to be able to see filesystem sizes, you're gonna have to mess around with apparmor (or selinux) and get the statfs syscall disabled.
[16:41] <theadmin> Timmmm: Uhh... Unrelated to Ubuntu
[16:41] <UniTe> theadmin: and if i wanted to stop to be able to use that command again?
[16:41] <Timmmm> theadmin: Ooops sorry wrong channel!
[16:41] <theadmin> UniTe: sudo chmod a+x $(which df)
[16:41] <theadmin> UniTe: Err, actually, that won't work anymore since df won't be executable, but: sudo chmod a+x /bin/df
[16:42] <UniTe> theadmin: ok thanks heaps!
[16:43] <DoYouKnow> the video works for a second then vertical stripes (shades of grey) in vlc
[16:43] <zgr> anyone using evince with chromium?
[16:43] <theadmin> UniTe: The specification is basically "who how what", where who is "u" for owner, "g" for group, "o" for "other" and "a" for all, "how" is + for grant, - for dismay and = for set and "what" is "r", "w", "x" or a combination of those (for read/write/execute respectively)
[16:43] <DoYouKnow> any ideas?
[16:43] <mang0> Where are the system sounds stored?
[16:43] <mang0> 11.10, that is
[16:43] <theadmin> mang0: /usr/share/sounds I'd beleive
[16:44] <mang0> theadmin, ty.
[16:44] <meco> I'm unable to hook up with any time servers using ntpdate. I only get 'no server suitable for synchronization found', Any suggestions?
[16:44] <Seveas> meco, 'ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com'
[16:45] <meco> Seveas: Nope, same
[16:45] <UniTe> theadmin: ill admit your the only person ive actually been able to take information in from.. you explained it pretty damn clear! thanks mate
[16:46] <Seveas> meco, then someone may be blocking udp port 123 incoming or outgoing
[16:46] <theadmin> UniTe: np :D
[16:46] <meco> Seveas: Is there any way I can check that out?
[16:46] <UniTe> theadmin: did you want to write me a BASH basics book too? ;p i kid
[16:47] <Seveas> meco, on your local computer you can do sudo iptables -L -v -n. When it's a network device blocking things, ask your network admin or read your manuals :)
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> meco: can you ping ntp servers?
[16:47] <Seveas> !abs | UniTe
[16:47] <meco> ActionParsnip: Yes
[16:47] <avernos> my sistem sounds work, but applications sounds is not working. i have reinstalled pulse and i think the sound card is not recognized, how can i fix this?
[16:47] <theadmin> UniTe: lol well, I'm not too good of a writer, but if you want some info from me, sure, poke me in a private message session (I don't always look at the channel)
[16:47] <viriya> halo
[16:48] <theadmin> viriya: We don't discuss games here, sorry, Ubuntu support only
[16:48] <ubuntunewuser> any body can help me? how to set conservative cpufreq govenor at boot permanently. I use 11.10
[16:48] <pc_> hello ? I need somehelp ? anyone ?
[16:48] <Seveas> !ask | pc_
[16:48] <Seveas> theadmin, bad pun :P
[16:48] <theadmin> Seveas: What pun?
[16:49] <meco> Seveas: 'sudo iptables -L -v -n' only showed empty fields
[16:49] <theadmin> meco: Wait, wait, wait. Are you running ntpdate as root? Because you're supposed to.
[16:49] <pc_> I have a problem with my mouse  it ia uable to drag the windows pages I do not know what is the problem ?? anyone
[16:49] <UniTe> theadmin: well your clear, thats all that matters! but, ill hold you to it, and again thanks heaps!
[16:49] <meco> theadmin: I am
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> pc_: do other users have the same issue (create a new one if required)
[16:50] <theadmin> meco: Oh, okay then, no idea, maybe something weird in the config
[16:50] <micahcavaleri> is it possible to create a virtual graphics card memory by using extra space from mt hard drive?
[16:50] <pc_> what do you mean a new one ??
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> pc_: your OS can hold literaly billions of local users
[16:51] <zgr> anyone using embed evince with chromium?
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> pc_: so if you make a fresh one, you can log in as that, if it is the same then we know it is the settings
[16:51] <meco> theadmin: I remember it was impossible to configure the time server connection on this pc even before it was running linx and only had Windows on it.
[16:51] <meco> linx = linux
[16:51] <pc_> sorry slowly slowly I am a new user :)
[16:51] <Seveas> micahcavaleri, even if that were possible, you don't want that as harddisk is far too slow to server as graphics memory.
[16:51] <LjL> meco: then that points even further to what Seveas said, port 123 being blocked...
[16:52] <pc_> what do you mean OS ?
[16:52] <theadmin> meco: That's odd, really... Probably something blocking the NTP port then indeed. Check your router config?
[16:52] <Srki> Is my vhost to gay? :d
[16:52] <LjL> pc_: Ubuntu is an OS. Windows is an OS. OS means operating system.
[16:52] <pc_> yes
[16:52] <LjL> Srki: a question that doesn't really belong here
[16:52] <pc_>  it is in my windows on the same laptop
[16:52] <Srki> Joke mate ;s
[16:53] <Masters> back
[16:53] <micahcavaleri> Seveas, so it isn't possible? I just want to experiment if you know a way to do it.  Speed problems are okay for now.
[16:53] <Masters> who wasI talking to before about moving the unity launcher?
[16:53] <meco> theadmin: You mean speak to the little box that sits between the pc and the modem?
[16:53] <Seveas> Srki, it does make me want to stab you with a garlic-dipped wooden stake though :)
[16:53] <pc_> so what i have to do ??
[16:53] <Seveas> micahcavaleri, I don't think it is possible
[16:53] <Masters> seveas
[16:53] <theadmin> meco: Probably so, if you *have* a router. Try visiting http://<IP_ADDRESS> or http://<IP_ADDRESS> -- do you get anything on either of those?
[16:54] <Srki> Seveas hah ;d
[16:54] <Masters> was this what you were talking about Seveas?  http://askubuntu.com/questions/33605/can-i-move-the-unity-launcher
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> pc_: sudo adduser testuser    log off, log in as testuser   and try what you are having issues with
[16:54] <Seveas> Masters, that was someone else, not me :)
[16:54] <Masters> oh
[16:54] <pc_> okay
[16:54] <micahcavaleri> Seveas: Ok.  Thanks.  If I wanted to do more research on the issue, do you have any recommendations where to go?
[16:54] <Seveas> micahcavaleri, google :)
[16:55] <micahcavaleri> ;-)
[16:55] <ubuntunewuser> sudo cast powerusers. how to configure cpufreq for some govenor?
[16:56] <Masters> hey guys if I install this plugin to move the unity bar, can I reinstall the default unity bar if I mess something up?
[16:56] <pmitros> I have a box with an NVidia graphics card, as well as Intel on-board graphics. I'm wondering if anyone knows whether it's possible to set up dual head, and if so, where I can find instructions.
[16:57] <kingisher64> can anybody tell me the correct terminal command to change the permissions of a folder to read and write? I've heard there is a right and wrong way of doing this
[16:57] <pmitros> Right now, the system ignores the on-board (except when shutting down, when it shows the Ubuntu logo there)
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> Masters: sure, via ppa purge
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> kingisher64: chmod +rw folder   You can add -R if you want it (r)ecursive
[16:58] <Masters> it says after I install the package, it will be available in the CCSM I don't klnow what that is or how I get to it
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> Masters: press ALT+F2 and run: ccsm
[16:58] <Masters> thanks :)
[16:58] <UniTe> ActionParsnip: i was so about to jump in there ;p with my new found skill of chmodding hha
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> Masters: you will need to disable the unity plugin then disable the sideway unity one
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> UniTe: no bad thing :), 2 folks saying the same thing enforces correctness
[16:59] <theadmin> meco: Probably so, if you *have* a router. Try visiting http://<IP_ADDRESS> or http://<IP_ADDRESS> -- do you get anything on either of those? For instance, I get this when I visit http://<IP_ADDRESS> on my home network: http://i.imm.io/eEHe.png

[17:01] <ActionParsnip> Radvendii: did you MD5 test it?
[17:01] <john_doe_jr> ?
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> Radvendii: the ISO, that is
[17:01] <Srki> Radvendii did u enter boot menu?
[17:01] <Radvendii> ActionParsnip: what does that mean? how do i do that?
[17:01] <john_doe_jr> ActionParsnip, hey, I remember you for a few days ago
[17:01] <Radvendii> Srki: i hit option at startup
[17:01] <yabai> Radvendii: are you trying to boot using your mac?
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | Radvendii few mac users know what MD% is
[17:01] <zgr> anyone using embed evince with chromium?
[17:02] <Masters> ah I found out why
[17:02] <Masters> it says I have to use the PPA to install the program
[17:02] <UniTe> did ubottu just make a mistake?? someone pressed the SHIFT key when hitting 5 ;p
[17:02] <hansg01> is there anyway by which i can restore unity?
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> zgr: I do but I just tell evince to run when I download a PDF
[17:02] <Masters> can anyone tell me how to access the PPA?
[17:02] <LjL> !ppa | Masters
[17:03] <Masters> or that works
[17:03] <LjL> Masters: err, i guess i meant !addppa
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> Masters: sudo add-apt-repository ppaaddress    change ppaaddress for the actual address of the ppa
[17:03] <theadmin> !test | UniTe: ubottu made no mistake, it just copied everything after the | sign
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> Masters: the omgubuntu site tells you everyything you need
[17:03] <Masters> ah thanks
[17:03] <kingisher64> ActionParsnip - that brings up a message "operation not permitted"
[17:03] <Barsook> Can a Canon MP490 printer work with Asus RT-N13U on repeater mode (as a print server) under Ubuntu?
[17:03] <Radvendii> ActionParsnip: for creating it, i followed all of the directions on the ubuntu website
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> Barsook: check the canon site, they provide some drivers for linux for some printers
[17:04] <Barsook> Thanks.
[17:04] <Masters> I tried that action
[17:04] <Masters> saysI need a repository arguement
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> kingisher64: is the partition the folder is on mounted as writable?
[17:05] <LjL> Masters: what did you type exactly?
[17:05] <sfsf32> hi
[17:05] <sfsf32> Which came first the chicken or the egg?
[17:05] <LjL> !ot | sfsf32
[17:05] <Masters> sudo add-apt-repository unityshell-rotated
[17:05] <Masters> sorry not much experience with linux in a while
[17:06] <sfsf32> LjL, shut up!
[17:06] <theadmin> Masters: That sounds like no proper repository. The form is: ppa:username/reponame
[17:06] <LjL> Masters: that's not the full repository name. the full repository name may or may not be ppa:paullo612/unityshell-rotated
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> Masters: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-customise-unity-like-never-before/

[17:07] <Radvendii> what do i do once i have the MD5 value?
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> !hashes | Radvendii
[17:08] <Shodowjedi01> I had an external hard drive and the usb port on the powerbox broke off so I removed the hard drive and physically installed it in my desktop
[17:08] <Shodowjedi01> I am not trying to loose the data on this hard drive is there a way I can get my system to recognize it and mount it automatically on startup
[17:08] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, does it show in fdisk -l
[17:08] <LjL> whooops
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> krambiorix: http://compgroups.net/comp.unix.solaris/Huge-disk-usage-on-var-spool-clientmqueue
[17:08] <Shodowjedi01> roger that as dev/sda
[17:09] <skew> Hey!
[17:09] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, sda? ok
[17:09] <owner> hey, how can i update my firefox?
[17:09] <Shodowjedi01> let me run fdisk and I"ll write exactly what It says
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> owner: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> owner: and what version do you want?
[17:09] <meco> theadmin: I'm not able to connect to any of those addresses.
[17:09] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, just add whatever drive it is to fstab
[17:09] <LjL> zenok, zenok_: i just banned you by mistake, sorry
[17:10] <Shodowjedi01> Gentoo64:can you give me commands for that
[17:10] <Radvendii> ActionParsnip: it's this one: ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso
[17:10] <Shodowjedi01> please and thank you
[17:10] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, find out what the drive is first
[17:10] <zenok> LjL: oh, i don't know why but my xchat starts up with my two names
[17:10] <krambiorix> thx ActionParsnip
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> Radvendii: thats the ISO, you will generate a hash for it then compare to the hash on the hashes page
[17:10] <owner> i want 11.0a1
[17:10] <LjL> zenok: not a problem, it's just that i thought i was banning someone else
[17:10] <theadmin> owner: echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/firefox.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox # Should work.
[17:10] <owner> oh thanks a lot
[17:10] <theadmin> owner: Oh, so you want an unstable version?
[17:10] <Grymmoire> So the other day I was installing some programs, I had to do all the ./configure and make stuff for each one, they were necessary libraries and stuff to make another program work (it was a chain of programs). One of them didn't configure right and suggested I run lbconfig and try again.
[17:11] <Grymmoire> Then some characters on my screen turned into squares. I didn't know what to do so I logged out, that didn't fix it, so I rebooted. That made it worse because now every character is a box. The kind of box that denotes an unknown character, and I can't read anything anymore because it's all boxes.
[17:11] <Radvendii> ActionParsnip: the really long string of numbers and characters?
[17:11] <owner> it is? its for an addon
[17:11] <LjL> Guest41904: please pick another nickname, part and rejoin
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> Radvendii: yes, thats the hash
[17:11] <Grymmoire> I'm on Windows now because I can't read anything in ubuntu
[17:11] <theadmin> owner: I don't think 11.0 is released yet
[17:11] <LjL> Guest41904: right now people can't see what you say
[17:11] <Radvendii> what do i _do_ with that?
[17:11] <Shodowjedi01> logical name: /dev/ sda
[17:11] <Shodowjedi01> that is what it says
[17:12] <kingisher64> ActionParsnip - i don't know. I've right clicked file system icon > permissions > is just says "the permissions of "/"  could not be determined.
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> owner: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[17:12] <Shodowjedi01> physical id: 0.0.0
[17:12] <owner> addons.mozilla.org is serious?
[17:12] <Masters> action I'm trying to using the guide you gave me
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> kingisher64: I never said to right click anything...
[17:12] <meco> theadmin: Can I take this to mean I do not have a router? Then that box is a switch (I'm not sure)?
[17:12] <stuntmachine> I'm running Ubuntu on an IBM ThinkPad T61p, and scrolling is a real hassle (requires clicking and dragging the scroll bar)...  is there a way to enable the touchpad on this laptop?
[17:12] <theadmin> owner: If you want the *real* latest version, do: echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/firefox-unstable.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox-trunk && sudo apt-get remove firefox
[17:12] <mattalexx> In Lucid, how is the main user a sudoer? The default sudoers file doesn't seem to include anything that would make the main user a sudoer.
[17:12] <LjL> !tab | Masters
[17:12] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, you can add it to fstab to get it automounted, but clicking it in nautilus should mount it
[17:12] <LjL> mattalexx: it includes the group "admin"
[17:12] <Radvendii> ActionParsnip: what do i do with the hash?
[17:12] <mattalexx> My main user isn't in the admin or the sudo group
[17:13] <LjL> mattalexx: it should be
[17:13] <mattalexx> hm, maybe I'm reading the groups wrong
[17:13] <LjL> mattalexx: just type "groups" from your user, see if it's listed
[17:13] <owner> ok i try this now, thank you
[17:13] <Shodowjedi01> Gentoo64: I'm not sure what fstab is or how to use it
[17:13] <Masters> ActionParsnip, if I think I did something wrong or its not working, will it cause problems if I run the comands again?
[17:13] <kingisher64> ActionParnsip - no you said check the permissions of the partition that i'm trying to access to apply the read/write to. The file is based in the file system dir /etc/apache
[17:13] <mattalexx> LjL, Ah, so it is, thanks
[17:13] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, if its just to get data off, why not just mount it once?
[17:13] <Gentoo64> rather than mess with fstab
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> Radvendii: the hashes page I made ubottu give you has the hashes of healthy complete files, if yours is different it is a corrupted download and you will need to redownload it
[17:14] <Shodowjedi01> Gentoo64: Cause its a 1tb drive and I am trying to use this desktop as a media server
[17:14] <jNovice> hello, which partition set for "device for boot loader installation" ? /dev/sda1 where windows 7 boot exsit will be ok? after such choice ubuntu will detect win7 correctly and allow to run it from grub?
[17:14] <Radvendii> ActionParsnip: it is the same...
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> Masters: if you want the folder read and writable you'll need that command
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> Radvendii: ok, it is healthy thenm
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> *then
[17:14] <mang0> Good lord
[17:14] <LjL> jNovice: no, don't install the GRUB bootloader onto the Windows 7 partition!
[17:14] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, ok well what filesystem is it? ext4, ntfs etc
[17:14] <Masters> ActionParsnip: what folder?
[17:15] <LjL> jNovice: GRUB should normally be installed in the MBR
[17:15] <Radvendii> ActionParsnip: so i think it is a problem with mac os x that it can't boot from the USB...
[17:15] <LjL> jNovice: alternatively, you can install it in your *Ubuntu* partition
[17:15] <alaing> hi i'm using gufw to config ufw but its not allowing me to enable it
[17:15] <Masters> wow hes popular today
[17:15] <Shodowjedi01> Gentoo64: I really don't know I'm truely shooting in the dark here, I've been through and through the forums to no avail
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> Radvendii: what video chip does the system use?
[17:15] <anonissimus> I am trying to parse some xml with xsltproc and I just get "killed" back any pointers what can cause this
[17:15] <Shodowjedi01> Gentoo64. How can I tell?
[17:15] <zenok> hello, which kernel version does not suffer from regressions?
[17:16] <Radvendii> would that be NVIDIA GeForce 9400M?
[17:16] <jNovice> LjL I know :P but I have boot-win7 partition which have 200MB and of course for windos 7 which have 50GB
[17:16] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, do sudo mkdir /mnt/files
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> Radvendii: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[17:16] <Shodowjedi01> ok
[17:16] <owner> theadmin where is my browser now? lol
[17:16] <Radvendii> ActionParsnip: how do i do that? where?
[17:16] <jNovice> LjL so this smaller is really needed?
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | Radvendii
[17:16] <Shodowjedi01> can not create director mnt
[17:17] <theadmin> owner: I beleive just where it normally is... idk, lol, I don't use Firefox at all (not to mention the unstable versions)
[17:17] <alaing> can someone help me with ufw/gufw
[17:17] <LjL> jNovice: i don't know why Windows 7 creates it, but since it's there now, yes, it's needed - Windows won't boot without it
[17:17] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, sudo
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> Radvendii: instead of immediately asking for clarification, try websearching a little for what is saif, you'll learn a little then :)
[17:17] <Radvendii> ActionParsnip: yeah, sorry
[17:17] <Shodowjedi01> Gentoo64: ok
[17:17] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, done?
[17:17] <meco> What could be blocking udp/123 when I do't have a router and this seems to have been an issue since when I was using Windows with no Linuz on this pc?
[17:17] <Shodowjedi01> roger that
[17:17] <owner> theadmin: i find it, its the nightly version. ty
[17:17] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, now gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[17:17] <LjL> meco: your ISP, don't ask me why
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> owner: can you plese give the output of:  lsb_release -sc     Thanks
[17:18] <Shodowjedi01> Gentoo64: ok
[17:18] <owner> mom
[17:18] <owner> how can i write privat?
[17:18] <meco> LjL: Is it possible for anyone here to try and connect to me on that protocol/port?
[17:18] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, is there any /dev/sda line there?
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> owner: its a single line of text, so pasting here is ok
[17:19] <owner> maverik
[17:19] <Shodowjedi01> Gentoo64: negative it just went to anoter command prompt
[17:19] <alaing> what firewalls does everyone here use?
[17:19] <owner> sry maverick
[17:19] <Gentoo64> alaing, ufw is built in
[17:19] <Gentoo64> inb4 ufw isnt a firewall
[17:20] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, didnt a text edit come up?
[17:20] <karthick87> I am not able to boot into ubuntu, i am getting the following error "nfsmount: need a path" How do i fix this error?
[17:20] <LjL> meco: well NTP uses UDP so there isn't really a "connection" made, we could use netcat but i'm not entirely sure how
[17:20] <Shodowjedi01> no
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> owner: sweet, you can get the firefox 12 nightly build fro here if you fancy: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=maverick
[17:20] <Shodowjedi01> let me run those commands again
[17:20] <Shodowjedi01> just to be sure
[17:20] <zap0> meco, IP ?
[17:20] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, sudo nano /etc/fstab
[17:20] <alaing> Gentoo64: i just cant get it to work for me
[17:20] <owner> thanks
[17:20] <Gentoo64> alaing, sudo ufw enable
[17:20] <Shodowjedi01> Gentoo: text editor avalable
[17:21] <Gentoo64> alaing, then sudo ufw status verbose
[17:21] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, nano is an editor try that
[17:21] <Gentoo64> its a command line one
[17:21] <mang0> 11.10's defult GUI is awful D: time to try xfce

[17:21] <Gentoo64> ok
[17:21] <karthick87> I am not able to boot into ubuntu, i am getting the following error "nfsmount: need a path" How do i fix this error?
[17:22] <LjL> meco: your current IP has all ports filtered, so you're running a firewall or something
[17:22] <alaing> Gentoo64: it seems to be blocking my LAN but allowing internal. Do i actually need a firewall if my machine is connected to a router which is then connected to the internet. the router forwards specific ports to the machine
[17:22] <Masters> ActionParsnip: what was that link again to the guide?
[17:22] <Gentoo64> alaing, not really
[17:22] <Sil4nc4> hi why is the precise raw disk space 750MB? It does not fit on my cd i want to burn? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20120114/

[17:23] <Sil4nc4> LjL, ??
[17:23] <Shodowjedi01> Gentoo64: I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be editing
[17:24] <Gentoo64> alaing, some people enable a firewall in the os too just in case the routers has bugs / whatever

[17:25] <|Anthony|> hello all
[17:25] <|Anthony|> I'm using ubuntu 10.04 64bit and want to know how to specify audio recording input. As it is, i have to open pauvcontrol at startup and select which input stream. I'd prefer it if i could set it to be persistent
[17:25] <meco> zap0: 83.80-203-35.nextgentel.com
[17:25] <Shodowjedi01> Gentoo64: The last command I ran was the nano command and an empty text editor came up
[17:25] <Gentoo64> Shodowjedi01, paste cat /etc/fstab
[17:25] <mang0> Is it possible to use terminal to put a few PNG files into a PDF? I read somewhere that `convert -compress *.png out.pdf` in a dir with the pngs needed to be compressed will work?
[17:25] <zap0> meco, is that an IP or a URL ?
[17:25] <Shodowjedi01> Gentoo64: ok done
[17:26] <Shodowjedi01> cntrl x?
[17:26] <meco> zap0: I just got it from doing whois on my nick
[17:26] <|Anthony|> I have an onboard audio and a dedicated sound card. I want to set it to record the monitor of the sound card by default so i don't have to do it every time i login
[17:26] <|Anthony|> any thoughts?

[17:26] <kingisher64> oh this is driving me mad. All i want to do is be able to have write permissions into any folder? I was asking how to set a read/write for a specific folder, however that just won't fix the problem. Can someone tell me how to give myself (the user) write permissions to all system folders?
[17:27] <meco> LjL: But where would that firewall be? Surely not on this pc since I've installed Ubuntu on it and have never set up any firewalling.
[17:27] <Gentoo64> kingisher64, lol
[17:27] <theadmin> kingisher64: You can't do that...   Run this command to own certain ones: sudo chown yourusername /folder
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> mang0: i just websearch, literally that's all I do....
[17:27] <Shodowjedi01> Gentoo64: Ok so I did that and exited
[17:27] <meco> zap0: If that would work, sure...
[17:28] <LjL> meco: i wouldn't know, actually i'm not even sure whether Ubuntu has a firewall enabled by default as of late. try typing "sudo ufw status"
[17:28] <mang0> ActionParsnip, Well you're still helpful :P
