[19:00] <FrozenFire[alt]> SMART is usually useless, but if there's something severely wrong, it'll tell you
[19:00] <FrozenFire[alt]> ashmew2, Let me know if any of the assessments aren't "Good" or "N/A"
[19:00] <ashmew2> FrozenFire[alt]: kk im on it , thx
[19:01] <freebird> lewis_,  try a new terminal window and trying it
[19:01] <FrozenFire[alt]> Err, that wasn't fsck. Miswrote that :P
[19:01] <FrozenFire[alt]> Fsck is to select the partition and "Check Filesystem"
[19:02] <lewis_> have three different times still doesn't work
[19:02] <ashmew2> Spin up time = N/a FrozenFire[alt]
[19:02] <FrozenFire[alt]> ashmew2, "N/A" is fine
[19:02] <ashmew2> oh kk
[19:02] <FrozenFire[alt]> Just need to know if anything's not "Good" or "N/A"
[19:03] <ashmew2> Airflow Temperature Failed in the past !
[19:03] <FrozenFire[alt]> freebird, Why do you need Puppy, by the way?
[19:03] <lewis_> it says "command not found in new terminal
[19:03] <FrozenFire[alt]> freebird, Puppy is wrought with issues for many hardware configurations.
[19:04] <ashmew2> FrozenFire[alt] : Airflow Temperature Failed in the past ! Also , current temperature of the disk is 42 degree celsius
[19:04] <freebird> didn't know that frozen i'm looking for a small linux that requires very little memory
[19:04] <FrozenFire[alt]> ashmew2, I would recommend checking that all of your system fans are functioning, and that you're not blocking any of the outlets on the case.
[19:04] <FrozenFire[alt]> freebird, What sort of system are you running this on?
[19:04] <FrozenFire[alt]> Xubuntu might be of use
[19:05] <freebird> intel motherbouad
[19:05] <qin> ! minimal | freebird
[19:05] <ashmew2> FrozenFire[alt] : could a VERY DUSTY Cpu be the issue ?
[19:05] <FrozenFire[alt]> ashmew2, Yes
[19:05] <ashmew2> FrozenFire[alt] : So i can clean it up with a blower..hmm?
[19:05] <FrozenFire[alt]> ashmew2, If the power supply detects that the fans aren't running, or that the hardware is overheating, it'll perform a hard shutdown of your system via ACPI
[19:06] <FrozenFire[alt]> ashmew2, Be sure not to use a vacuum cleaner or anything with water.
[19:06] <FrozenFire[alt]> ashmew2, Use compressed air, if possible.
[19:06] <freebird> i'm looking for a  Linux distribution  that will easly run on 64b
[19:06] <freebird> 64mb
[19:06] <ashmew2> FrozenFire[alt] : k ill check if the fans are running with a flashlight.
[19:07] <FrozenFire[alt]> freebird, Ah, then you're probably looking at Puppy or DSL
[19:07] <FrozenFire[alt]> freebird, Though, you'll run into many problems.
[19:07] <frenzarectah> hi
[19:07] <FrozenFire[alt]> Small distributions usually don't come with the "easy to use" tools you're used to
[19:07] <qin> freebird: Install minimal with awesome (or skip X at all).
[19:07] <larsto> helloo
[19:07] <freebird> ah  i see
[19:07] <freebird> ty qin
[19:08] <dgd__> 64Mb is still too tight for many distros
[19:08] <freebird> yeah why i was trying puppy
[19:08] <dgd__> I'd try Alpine
[19:08] <frenzarectah> i have a problem with ubuntu 10.10 on my acer aspire one netbook
[19:08] <FrozenFire[alt]> My recommendation would be to get more RAM for the system. RAM for old system is so cheap nowadays, you can often get it for free at computer shops and the like.
[19:08] <freebird> ok ty dgd__
[19:08] <HyperShock> ask | frenzarectah
[19:09] <frenzarectah> is there anybody who can help  me?
[19:09] <frenzarectah> ok
[19:09] <HyperShock> !ask | frenzarectah
[19:09] <FrozenFire[alt]> frenzarectah, What's the problem?
[19:09] <qin> freebird: Well, Puppy is not designed for installs, dunno about Alpine.
[19:09] <freebird> frenzarectah,  what is it doing
[19:09] <dgd__> @FrozenFire[alt] problem with getting more memory is many old sys are maxed out at 64M or 128M already.
[19:09] <sridhar_> Hi .. I have installed ubuntu  10.10  32bit version on my  laptop .. is this possible to upgrade to 63bit ubuntu without reformatting harddisk and preserve old data ?
[19:09] <freebird> that is good to know qin  ty
[19:09] <FrozenFire[alt]> dgd__, True, but in that case, it's a dumpster system :P
[19:09] <jrib> sridhar_: no
[19:09] <frenzarectah> in some application that i've installed the buttons go up or down at every mouse click :\
[19:10] <c0dege3k> Ok, this is weird. I can't play dvd's in vlc media player. any help?
[19:10] <lewis_> why is command "sudo displayconfig-gtk" not working in terminal it gives "command not found"
[19:10] <FrozenFire[alt]> Rarely worth bothering trying to get a small distro working on it, because it won't be useful for what even competent users need a computer for.
[19:10] <jrib> lewis_: because there's no such command?
[19:10] <HyperShock> c0dege3k: have you installed the restricted-extras yet?
[19:10] <sridhar_> so i have to download 64bit and install freshly ?
[19:10] <dgd__> @FrozenFire[alt] Most of my systems *come* from the dumpster ....
[19:10] <jrib> sridhar_: yes
[19:10] <c0dege3k> oh, that could be it. what's the command?
[19:11] <FrozenFire[alt]> dgd__, All of mine except my new laptop did as well
[19:11] <FrozenFire[alt]> I'm speaking of putting it *into* the dumpster
[19:11] <HyperShock> sridhar_: however you can save your home directory and reload it after you've installed all of your apps again in the 64bit system
[19:11] <FrozenFire[alt]> Not having taken it out
[19:11] <dgd__> Some people put it in, I take it out :)
[19:11] <freebird> frenzarectah,  what apps are you having issues with be a little more specific
[19:11] <sridhar_> what is advantage  running 64bit over 32bit on intel i5 based laptop ?
[19:12] <lewis_> jrib i found a newbie questains and it said to use this command to get to the vidio
[19:12] <MaRk-I> !codecs | c0dege3k
[19:12] <FrozenFire[alt]> lewis_, displayconfig-gtk isn't in use yet, that I know of
[19:12] <jrib> lewis_: ask your real question
[19:12] <FrozenFire[alt]> It's a planned utility.
[19:12] <frenzarectah> apps like gimp or anjuta
[19:12] <FrozenFire[alt]> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DisplayConfigGTK
[19:12] <vul31> ??
[19:12] <MaRk-I> !dvd > c0dege3k
[19:12] <lewis_> Lewis
[19:12] <rooks> sridhar_, some media heavy apps will work faster and more efficient, like flash, otherwise not much
[19:12] <HyperShock> c0dege3k: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:13] <frenzarectah> FrozenFire: is that link for me?
[19:13] <FrozenFire[alt]> frenzarectah, It's for lewis_
[19:13] <sridhar_> so happily i can continue with 32bit installation right ?
[19:13] <FrozenFire[alt]> sridhar_, In most cases, you won't need 64-bit. Application support isn't perfect yet.
[19:13] <vul31> ???
[19:13] <FrozenFire[alt]> vul31, Do you have a question?
[19:13] <lewis_> I am trying to get the screen to go to full screen it will only do 800x760?? now
[19:13] <vanpereira> org
[19:14] <vul31> eat apple
[19:14] <HyperShock> sridhar_: I would, because of the pae support in 32bit and also because 64bit libraries can run along side them too
[19:14] <frenzarectah> i don't understand what is the cause of this problem :(
[19:14] <sridhar_> Thanks a lot guys .. thanks for your help :)
[19:14] <FrozenFire[alt]> lewis_, What is your graphics hardware?
[19:14] <vul31> yes
[19:14] <rooks> o hai, im just shamelesly spammin my blog about linux and undelete on ext3 :P http://PleasantHacking.com/2011/04/22/undelete-for-ext3-filesystem
[19:14] <s0ap> quick question: just installed 10.10 server, then I started installing gnome gui. suddenly screen turns off, still hear computer working. is this normal?
[19:14] <jrib> rooks: please don't do that again
[19:14] <HyperShock> !ot | rooks
[19:14] <rooks> awww.. okay...
[19:15] <frenzarectah> anyone is able to help me?
[19:15] <dgd__> s0ap: running GNOME on a server isn't normal...
[19:15] <freebird> i'm not sure frenzarectah  are you using wine to run these apps or did you install throu software center
[19:15] <lewis_> trident microsystems cyberblade
[19:15] <s0ap> i did this: sudo aptitude install x-window-system-core gnome-core
[19:15] <s0ap> oops, no -core
[19:15] <FrozenFire[alt]> s0ap, It is probably configuring X. You may need to SSH in from a separate system.
[19:15] <FrozenFire[alt]> s0ap, Probably not a good idea to install Gnome on Ubuntu Server.
[19:15] <s0ap> k let me see...
[19:15] <s0ap> if i want to uninstall, how do i do that?
[19:16] <frenzarectah> no i dont have wine
[19:16] <FrozenFire[alt]> s0ap, apt-get remove the packages you installed
[19:16] <s0ap> "remove" or rm?
[19:16] <dgd__> s0ap: uninstall -> apt-get remove x-window-system
[19:16] <FrozenFire[alt]> remove
[19:16] <frenzarectah> only normal app
[19:16] <s0ap> k
[19:16] <frenzarectah> for ubuntu
[19:16] <HyperShock> s0ap: Why didn't you just do ... sudo apt-get install gnome ... and then let the system decide what to pull in or replace?
[19:16] <frenzarectah> some app as i say,gave that weird problem
[19:16] <s0ap> im new at this
[19:16] <dgd__> s0ap: then I'd do dpkg -l | grep x11 and remove those packages too - unless they take something important with them (like vnc-server for instance)
[19:16] <FrozenFire[alt]> frenzarectah, Mind repeating your question?
[19:17] <HyperShock> frenzarectah: try reinstalling the offending applications
[19:17] <FrozenFire[alt]> frenzarectah, You asked for help with your netbook, and we asked what the problem is ;)
[19:17] <dgd__> I just got through ripping out GNOME and KDE from servers at work....
[19:17] <s0ap> wtf, i cant ssh in
[19:17] <FrozenFire[alt]> s0ap, You'd need to install openssh-server
[19:17] <FrozenFire[alt]> You can try an ACPI shutdown, but it might break something.
[19:18] <dgd__> s0ap: at console? If at console, you can do Alt-F2 to get to second console
[19:18] <s0ap> gah. this is ridiculous. i cant even see my display
[19:18] <FrozenFire[alt]> dgd__, Good call
[19:18] <dgd__> s0ap: Or if at the X console - do Shift-Alt-F1 to get to console 1
[19:18] <HyperShock> s0ap: do Alt-F7 to get display back
[19:18] <dgd__> You could also try killing X: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[19:18] <s0ap> no luck on Alt F7
[19:18] <dgd__> (if you wanted to do that)
[19:19] <HyperShock> or even ctrl-alt-delete and the system will start rebooting
[19:19] <freebird> FrozenFire[alt],  frenzarectah  is having issues with the buttons in gimp and other apps
[19:19] <s0ap> well crap, if i restart will  it boot to terminal again? or try to gnome?
[19:19] <jiltdil> how to disable firewall via terminal?
[19:19] <ruan> jiltdil: sudo service ufw stop
[19:20] <jiltdil> thanks
[19:20] <erUSUL> assuming you are using ufw
[19:20] <HyperShock> frenzarectah: did you make sure you had the latest video driver? which video do you have, ATI, NVIDIA or OTHER? have you made sure you got all the updates from Ubuntu?
[19:20] <frenzarectah> in the updates there is nothing about graphic drivers
[19:20] <frenzarectah> and the graphic drivers are installed correctly
[19:21] <HyperShock> s0ap: nothing wrong with terminal, in which case I'd do sudo apt-get install gnome  .. and then .. sudo apt-get install gdm
[19:21] <HyperShock> then reboot and enjoy
[19:21] <FrozenFire[alt]> frenzarectah, Can you please describe the issue is more detail? So far all I know is that you're having "issues" with buttons in certain applications. I don't know *what* the issue is.
[19:21] <HyperShock> frenzarectah: do you have all proprietary drivers activated?
[19:21] <uni4dfx> any ideas why some of the multiple ip addresses listed with "ip addr show" are marked "secondary" ?
[19:22] <jiltdil> ruan: also how to port forward 21 from terminal
[19:22] <MaRk-I> HyperShock: actually it's called "ubuntu-desktop"
[19:22] <frenzarectah> sorry for my bad english,but i'm not england-native :P
[19:22] <HyperShock> thanks MaRk-I
[19:22] <frenzarectah> ok,thats is
[19:23] <HyperShock> s0ap: as MaRk-I said, to get everything for gnome and even the starter stuff do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[19:23] <frenzarectah> some application at every click of the mouse create an earthquake effect
[19:23] <s0ap> alright, i got back in, removed the gnome stuff, and installing openssh now
[19:23] <frenzarectah> and the button run up and down
[19:23] <frenzarectah> i can't click on every button because it run away from the pointer XD
[19:24] <s0ap> success!
[19:24] <s0ap> thanks guys
[19:24] <alabd> MaRk-I: I(humble)installed arista but are you sure it will convert .ogv to another format ?
[19:24] <FrozenFire[alt]> frenzarectah, Try System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects->Normal
[19:24] <HyperShock> frenzarectah: sounds like you have some gl features enabled that your system is barfing on,  goto system->preferences->appearance and then 'visual effects' tab and make sure you got it set on normal and not extras.
[19:25] <frenzarectah> i have compizconfig installed
[19:25] <frenzarectah> can it be the cause of problem?
[19:25] <FrozenFire[alt]> frenzarectah, Yes. If you have certain visual effects enabled, it may cause problems.
[19:25] <FrozenFire[alt]> As HyperShock and I said, reduce your visual effects setting
[19:26] <mrdeb> not really
[19:26] <frenzarectah> how can i delete compizconfig?
[19:26] <mrdeb> it causes problems in 1104 even with fast graphics card
[19:26] <mrdeb> why
[19:26] <FrozenFire[alt]> frenzarectah, You need not remove it entirely.
[19:26] <FrozenFire[alt]> Just reduce its settings.
[19:27] <FrozenFire[alt]> For regular users, removing Compiz should be a last resort.
[19:27] <HyperShock> frenzarectah: yeah just leave it there, it's used but its setting should be set to normal in your case, if you still want to remove use: sudo apt-get remove compizconfig
[19:27] <HyperShock> but i don't recommend it
[19:27] <soreau> frenzarectah: Use ccsm>Preferences>Reset to Defaults
[19:28] <frenzarectah> ok
[19:28] <frenzarectah> tnx for the help
[19:28] <frenzarectah> :)
[19:28] <soreau> frenzarectah: Or, select None then back to Normal or Extra in appearance properties>visual effects (these use a predefined set of effects)
[19:28] <EmuAlert> Is there a way to make a program run without showing any of its output?
[19:28] <frenzarectah> sorry again for the bad english,i hope that it is not a problem
[19:28] <c0dege3k> internet went down for a bit- any replies to why i cant play dvds
[19:28] <Logan_> !dvd | c0dege3k
[19:29] <FrozenFire[alt]> EmuAlert, Do you mean not displaying its GUI, or not displaying its terminal output?
[19:29] <rooks> EmuAlert, in console?
[19:29] <DiscordianUK> EmuAlert, program > /dev/null 2>&1
[19:29] <erUSUL> EmuAlert: generally  "> /dev/null 2>&1"
[19:29] <HyperShock> EmuAlert: you mean from shell? then use pipe '|' or redirect '>' or append '>>'
[19:29] <erUSUL> EmuAlert: many programs have options to suppress its output
[19:29] <HyperShock> or that other stuff
[19:29] <MaRk-I> alabd: http://www.transcoder.org/  check the video formats
[19:29] <nilsma> i have added an application for startup on boot thru update-rc.d, how do i remove it again? :)
[19:30] <EmuAlert> I mean not displaying it in the console. I want to launch some programs like gedit from the console in the background, but it prints stuff out while I'm using it
[19:30] <Logan_> !boot | nilsma
[19:30] <HyperShock> EmuAlert: use the /dev/null reference
[19:31] <soreau> EmuAlert: Just run the program in the terminal
[19:31] <dgd__> Who's knowledgeable about Ubuntu's kickstart and preseeding and making it all work with LVM?
[19:31] <kingofswords> hi my internet is restricted in ubuntu
[19:31] <erUSUL> EmuAlert: "disown" it after you launched it?
[19:31] <HyperShock> EmuAlert: forexample> gedit > /dev/null 2>&1
[19:31] <erUSUL> kingofswords: define restricted
[19:31] <kingofswords> it a 1/3 of the speed in speedtest...sorry erUSUL
[19:32] <kingofswords> ive just done fresh install and was ok b4 in same ver of ubuntu
[19:32] <HyperShock> kingofswords: sides like an issue with your ISP
[19:32] <HyperShock> sides == sounds
[19:32] <nilsma> i have added an application for startup on boot thru update-rc.d, how do i remove it again? :)
[19:32] <erUSUL> kingofswords: wifi?
[19:32] <kingofswords> nah dual boot with xp and just cjeck them both within 2mins of each other
[19:32] <Logan_> nilsma: sudo apt-get install bum
[19:33] <kingofswords> 3g modem...have modeswitch program
[19:33] <EmuAlert> So I just store all the data in /dev/null, which gets whiped routinely. What's 2>&1 for?
[19:33] <dgd__> nilsma: update-rc.d disable x (right?)
[19:33] <dgd__> Logan: bum?
[19:33] <Logan_> dgd__: it's a GUI for startup services
[19:33] <kingofswords> xp has 1meg(which is slowfor me) and ubuntu has 0.3meg dl
[19:33] <FrozenFire[alt]> nilsma, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto#Deactivating init-scripts
[19:33] <HyperShock> EmuAlert: /dev/null is a blackhole, there is no storage , the extraneious output simply goes POOF
[19:34] <kingofswords> i had this issue with karmic and mint 9 but was resolved when i changed to lucid...but now its back
[19:34] <dgd__> EmuAlert: /dev/null doesn't get "wiped"; the kernel dumps the data as it comes in. 2>&1 sends stderr (error output) to the same place that stdout is (standard output) - which is /dev/null
[19:34] <vinceN> Good Morning all
[19:34] <dgd__> No takers on kickstart / preseed / LVM? I can't get LVM partitions to create during install
[19:35] <dgd__> (during autoinstall)
[19:35] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, A stab in the dark here, but have you ensured that the drivers for your NIC are current?
[19:35]  * HyperShock passes vinceN a plate of bacon, eggs and hash browns.
[19:35] <kingofswords> nope
[19:35] <nilsma> is there no file, like rc.conf or whatnot, where i can modify it by myself rather than a gui or a cli-command?
[19:35] <EmuAlert> Alright thanks guys
[19:35] <kingofswords> do i do that in synaptic? i did update a few hrs ago
[19:35] <jrib> nilsma: what do you want to modify?
[19:35] <HyperShock> dgd__:  man update-rc.d
[19:35] <vinceN> I am looking for some advise on the best and least complicated way to sync a single directory in my home folder between two computers.  A desktop and a laptop.  What I want is for them to sync too each other.  Mostly traffic will be going to the Laptop but in the event I add something to the laptop I want it to sync back to the desktop the next time we are on the local network.  Does anyone have any tips or how tos on the best way to accomplish this?
[19:36] <erUSUL> nilsma: sudo update-rc.d -f app remove
[19:36] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, It'd be unusual that the drivers weren't in the kernel if it's a wired adapter
[19:36] <vinceN> @HyperShock MMMM MY favorate!
[19:36] <MaRk-I> vinceN: ubuntu one?
[19:36] <qin> How to "mount" remote device (speakers in my case)? Web browser > to remote sound.
[19:36] <HyperShock> vinceN: choose a computer, tell yourself it's the file server, share it's directory on the network, save all files to the shared folder
[19:36] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, Do you know the model of your NIC?
[19:36] <vinceN> Mark -I It's a music directory, way to much data and I want the files to be on the local drive.
[19:37] <vinceN> HyperShock : Done that problem is it's cumbersome and I end up overwriting things I don't mean too. I want them to sync like you would an iPod or something like that
[19:37] <HyperShock> vinceN: also read all said files only from that shared directory
[19:37] <dgd__> vinceN: I recommend rsync
[19:38] <dd214> where do I find an event viewer?  My Ubuntu blew it's load, and I want to check the logs.
[19:38] <Diamondcite> vinceN: Try something like Unison or rsync?
[19:38] <HyperShock> vinceN: follow dgd__ 's advice now. :)
[19:38] <MaRk-I> vinceN: then like dgd__ recommends
[19:38] <dgd__> vinceN: or use DropBox if you prefer using the cloud automatically
[19:38] <kingofswords> i dont know what a NIC is to tell truth FrozenFire
[19:38] <ceo> HOW TO INSTALL .BIN on ubuntu 10.10
[19:38] <erUSUL> vinceN: unison?
[19:38] <Random832> ceo: what .bin ?
[19:38] <vinceN> dgd__ Looking at that myself the problem is i'm command line handicapped and i'm a little afraid to start experimenting with my library LOL
[19:38] <erUSUL> ceo: what are you tryin to install ?
[19:38] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, Run "lshw -class network" in terminal, and pastebin the output, please.
[19:38] <HyperShock> dd214: you don't need one, just cd to /var/logs and read to your hearts content
[19:38] <qin> dd214: Log viewer in menu > System > Admin
[19:38] <kingofswords> ok
[19:38] <ceo> yes erUSUL
[19:38] <dgd__> kingofswords: NIC = Network Interface Card = the device you plug the wired network into
[19:39] <vinceN> erUSUL Unison?
[19:39] <erUSUL> ceo: you are tryin to install yes?
[19:39] <ceo> am have file blabla.bin am need install it?
[19:39] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, For future reference, "NIC" means Network Interface Card, like your network adapter.
[19:39] <kingofswords> oh ok its a usb 3g modem
[19:39] <ceo> erUSUL, how to install .bin on ubuntu
[19:39] <erUSUL> ceo: blabla is not a good description of what you are installing
[19:39] <dgd__> vinceN: if challenged by the command line, then use DropBox: http://www.dropbox.com
[19:39] <erUSUL> vinceN: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/
[19:39] <vinceN> dgd__ Need the files locally, Where I will use my laptop I don't always have reliable net access
[19:40] <ceo> inventory.bin
[19:40] <dgd__> vinceN: they have Ubuntu programs that handle the sync for you - and works on Macs and Windows too
[19:40] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, It's hard to really chock a drop in network throughput on a wireless network such as WiMax to a change in operating system.
[19:40] <HyperShock> ceo: enter terminal, cd to location of .bin, type sh filename.bin
[19:40] <ceo> erUSUL, am need install inventory.bin
[19:40] <erUSUL> ceo: chomd +x file.bin && sudo ./file.bin
[19:40] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, I'd recommend contacting your internet service provider for assistance.
[19:40] <shoiab> a good program for download youtube's mp3??
[19:41] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, It could be something so simple as your 3G modem being in a funny spot
[19:41] <vinceN> @erUSUL : This might just be what I need, and theres a GUI front end for it too.. Nice
[19:41] <dgd__> !mp3 | shoiab
[19:41] <ruan> shoiab: http://www.video2mp3.net/
[19:41] <soreau> ceo: What are you trying to install?
[19:41] <HyperShock> kingofswords: who is your 3g modem through?
[19:41] <dd214>  jezuz.. now I need a primer on how to read logs.. there are over 40 of them and they have superb names that really make them effective in trying to read them.. jockey, dmesg..
[19:41] <dgd__> shoiab: or did you mean something like http://kickyoutube.com
[19:41] <kingofswords> FrozenFire[alt] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/597977/
[19:41] <HyperShock> kingofswords: if its t-moible you need to make sure you chose web2go
[19:41] <HyperShock> when you connected to internet
[19:41] <kingofswords> 3g modem is 3 network in the uk
[19:42] <erUSUL> dd214: messages and syslog are the most important ones imho.
[19:42] <dgd__> dd214: most logs are related to specific applications
[19:42] <kingofswords> 3network on ayce payg
[19:42] <vinceN> Ok all thanks a ton for the help.   Always love coming in here :-)
[19:42] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingedgar, Yeah, it's definitely not the OS. You're using a wired network adapter that's reasonably well-supported.
[19:42] <erUSUL> dd214: « less messages » to view the file in a pager
[19:42] <HyperShock> kingofswords: ah, i'm not in uk, my info might not help you :(
[19:42] <vinceN> Gona give Unison a try and see if that does what I need it too
[19:42] <shoiab> ruan thanks
[19:42] <shoiab> dgd_ thanks
[19:42] <dd214> erUSUL thanks
[19:42] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, Contact your ISP for assistance in positioning the modem correctly.
[19:42] <codex84> does wipe delete files permantely
[19:42] <codex84> ?
[19:42] <dd214> dgd__  danka!
[19:42] <kingofswords> lol funnily enough we have tmobile in uk too
[19:43] <erUSUL> dd214: press "q" to exit less
[19:43] <HyperShock> codex84: dear god, yes it does
[19:43] <kingofswords> erm its same place its always been
[19:43] <kingofswords> its a phone with built in modem
[19:43] <kingofswords> so updating NIC wont help as it usb and not ethernet/wifi?
[19:43] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, I had wireless internet for several months recently. I can tell you that no matter how similar the positioning looks, it could definitely be wrong.
[19:44] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, The NIC is fine, and Ubuntu is fine. It's the modem, definitely.
[19:44] <codex84> i dont what commands
[19:44] <kingofswords> yeh but in same position its faster with windows
[19:44] <codex84> are use?
[19:44] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, Have you tried Windows alongside Ubuntu?
[19:44] <kingofswords> the phone on its way out but that shouldnt make different sppeds
[19:45] <dd214> erUSUL  getting a witbier, going to need one to get through these... ;-)
[19:45] <kingofswords> nah just on same laptop with dual boot
[19:45] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, Don't know what to tell you, then. Are you running the speedtest to the same local server, on the same site?
[19:45] <kingofswords> but i had this same problem with 9.1 and mint 9 ..thought it was ivpc6 problem
[19:45] <kingofswords> yeh
[19:45] <HyperShock> codex84: man wipe
[19:45] <kingofswords> sorry FrozenFire[alt] yes
[19:46] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, Since you're using a wired NIC, instead of having a built-in 3G modem, it is almost certainly not an OS issue.
[19:46] <kingofswords> yeh its a tricky one...maybe itll resolve itself...just thought i try my luck in here
[19:47] <kingofswords> off topic: how do i say someones nick without having to type it out?
[19:47] <HyperShock> kingofswords: have you tried going somewhere other than the speed test site, like disney.com for instance? and how fast does it load? is it acceptable?
[19:47] <ruan> !tab | kingofswords
[19:47] <HyperShock> kingofswords: tab key
[19:47] <kingofswords> i tried tab
[19:47] <ruan> part of name, tab
[19:47] <dgd__> Thanks ruan! I was wondering that... works for me (XChat in Ubuntu)
[19:47] <MaRk-I> kingofswords: press 3 letters of the nick then press tab
[19:47] <kingofswords> ahh
[19:47] <HyperShock> yeah you have type part of name and then tab until it completes right
[19:48] <kingofswords> MaRk-I, ahh yes it works ty
[19:48] <MaRk-I> kingofswords: yw
[19:48] <kingofswords> HyperShock, is disney a speed test?
[19:49] <HyperShock> kingofswords: no but it's media laden, really heavy on the browser
[19:49] <kingofswords> to be fair regardless of the test it does feel really laggy
[19:49] <HyperShock> how much ram do you have allocated for 10.10?
[19:49] <kingofswords> it must of been something to do with the install, i only did a few hrs a go
[19:49] <HyperShock> is your processor a celeron, sempron or turion?
[19:50] <HyperShock> or even an atom?
[19:50] <kingofswords> HyperShock, who me? im on 10.04 lucid...its 4gb
[19:50] <kingofswords> centrino duo core 2.4
[19:50] <HyperShock> kingofswords: did you try 10.10?
[19:50]  * HyperShock shudders at the chip that likes to power down all the time.
[19:51] <pryorda> how do you stop last from running on login
[19:52] <FrozenFire[alt]> pryorda, Pretty sure that's built into the login utility
[19:53] <picasso> hello. i'm trying to follow a guide to setting up Gitorious on Ubuntu, but I'm having a problem getting rubygem "hoe" running. it requires a newer version of rubygems than ubuntu ships
[19:53] <picasso> what's the preferred way to run rubygems 1.4+ on ubuntu 10.10?
[19:53] <FrozenFire[alt]> pryorda, On second thought, there is a way
[19:53] <FrozenFire[alt]> In /etc/pam.d/login, comment "session optional pam_lastlog.so"
[19:54] <FrozenFire[alt]> pryorda, Or, if pam.d isn't there, in /etc/login.defs, comment "LASTLOG_ENAB"
[19:54] <pryorda> FrozenFire[alt]: thanks
[19:55] <dgd__> pryorda, don't edit /etc/pam.d/* without having a root shell already open somewhere - in case you lock yourself out by mistake
[19:55] <dgd__> picasso, can you upgrade gem by using gem itself?
[19:55] <brewster> how can i find out what sound card im i have?
[19:55] <pryorda> in login.defs its already #
[19:55] <jamescv> hello! some ubuntu version run kernel 2.6.18 or can i do a downgrade kernel version ?
[19:56] <ruan> jamescv: you can run an older kernel by holding shift at boot and choosing an older kernel(if you havent removed them)
[19:56] <FrozenFire[alt]> brewster, lshw -class multimedia
[19:57] <pryorda> FrozenFire[alt]: here soemthing you should know from login
[19:57] <pryorda> # Prints the last login info upon succesful login
[19:57] <pryorda> # (Replaces the `LASTLOG_ENAB' option from login.defs)
[19:57] <pryorda> so you need to commend out that
[19:57] <pryorda> comment out that like you said
[19:58] <brewster> ok ty
[19:58] <c0dege3k> ok, im getting audio now, but still cant see the video of the dvd. more help? i installed the mediabuntu dvdrcss thingy
[19:58] <pryorda> FrozenFire[alt]: neither of those work lol
[19:58] <erUSUL> jamescv: iirc no ubuntu version used 2.6.18 ... is an ancient kernel version
[19:58] <FrozenFire[alt]> pryorda, You may need to restart the system for the configuration to take effect
[19:58] <pryorda> im thinking that
[19:58] <pryorda> im gonna try restarting ssh
[19:58] <pryorda> and see what that does
[19:59] <ruan> jamescv: oh you mean that... why would you want such an old kernel
[20:01] <Oday> how do i completely remove Virtualbox from my machine?
[20:02] <Oday> i installed it using a .run script that came on a software cd from some magazine
[20:02] <rohan> hey guys am facing a strange problem
[20:02] <erUSUL> Oday: maybe that run script has --uninstall option or something.
[20:02] <rohan> I am running my preinstalled ubuntu 10.10 but cant do a fresh installation with my new sandy bridge configuration
[20:02] <Oday> where can i find where i installed it, erUSUL ?
[20:03] <rohan> anyone with the same problem ?
[20:03] <Oday> i mean..it was just a wizard and i didnt select where exactly (even if i had the choice i wouldn't know where)
[20:03] <rohan> I cant run ubuntu in live mode or install it from USB / DVD
[20:03] <Oday> /usr/local?
[20:03] <FrozenFire[alt]> rohan, By "can't", do you mean that a particular issue occurs?
[20:03] <KINGOFSWORDS> hi sorry got d/c
[20:03] <rohan> yes says live system missing or something dont remember exact code FrozenFire[alt]
[20:03] <erUSUL> Oday: probably but we can not be sure. get the script from the cd and run it with "--help" option
[20:04] <Oday> ok
[20:04] <KINGOFSWORDS> everytimei start ubuntu i have to start nm-applet manuelly, even though its in the startup apps
[20:04] <FrozenFire[alt]> rohan, What's your system model?
[20:05] <rohan> i upgraded to i5 2500k+P67A UD3R
[20:05] <rohan> didnt find any kind of problems on google :/
[20:05] <erUSUL> rohan: changes on hardwarwe rarelly ( never ) needs a reinstall in linux/ubuntu
[20:06] <yahonk> join #basket-devel
[20:06] <blz> My machine is not visible on the network.  All web services work on localhost, but not from other PCs on the local network.  SSH similarly does not find the host.  I'm not sure how to proceed with troubleshooting...
[20:06] <blz> any advice?
[20:06] <FrozenFire[alt]> rohan, I hate to ask silly questions, but are you sure that the DVD you're using is functional, and that you're selecting it as the boot device on POST?
[20:06] <rohan> erUSUL, actually i have few Cyberroam client scripts which are not getting dumped so thought of a fresh install
[20:06] <Oday> it was in /opt/VirtualBox, erUSUL , and there was an uninstall.sh and it removed it , thanks
[20:06] <dgd__> blz, check firewall.
[20:06] <dgd__> blz, iptables -L -v -n
[20:06] <blz> dgd__:  what am I lookig for there?
[20:06] <erUSUL> Oday: no problem. vbox provides deb packages in its website. use those in the future
[20:07] <erUSUL> Oday: no problem. vbox provides deb packages in its website and a repositorie. use those in the future
[20:07] <dgd__> blz, if you know what you are doing - and are sure dropping the firewall is alright - do this: service iptables stop
[20:07] <rohan> FrozenFire[alt], I have used that DVD just 2 days back on a laptop .. and to remove any such doubts I have even tried to do a boot from USB after downloading fresh ISo
[20:07] <Oday> i will just get it from Software Center, erUSUL
[20:07] <Oday> im running 11.4 and i suppose packages are up-to-date?
[20:07] <blz> dgd__:  should be ok.  this is local network only stuff...
[20:07] <dgd__> blz, if there are a lot of lines, then the firewall may be blocking you - depending on rules. If there are three lines with the word ACCEPT - then the firewall is wide open and ok.
[20:07] <Oday> because the one i got from the CD gave an incompatibility error
[20:08] <blz> dgd__:  not many lines.  Also, i get a message " iptables:  unrecognized service"
[20:08] <blz> let me pastebin
[20:10] <blz> dgd__: http://paste.ubuntu.com/597986/
[20:11] <rohan> Is there a way to backup deluge configuration?
[20:12] <dgd__> blz, pastebin is so cool :)
[20:12] <dgd__> blz, firewall is wide open. Not the cause.
[20:12] <blz> dgd__:  thought so.  I wonder if it's my router...
[20:12] <blz> weird as that would be...
[20:12] <pryorda> anyone know how to get the update-motd.d scripts back
[20:14] <pryorda> lol
[20:14] <dgd__> blz, use ping to check
[20:15] <blz> Ping localhost?
[20:15] <dgd__> blz, ping localhost (by IP - not <IP_ADDRESS>)
[20:15] <dgd__> blz, ping router
[20:15] <blz> dgd__ and how would I figure out the localhost's IP?
[20:15] <anonissimus> if I want blog.domain.com to open domain.com/blog how do I go about this?
[20:15] <dgd__> blz, are you using DHCP? Do you know what that means?
[20:15] <blz> yes, and yes
[20:16] <dgd__> anonissimus, use Apache's Rewrite capability and rewrite / to /blog
[20:16] <dgd__> anonissimus, the details are more than I can explain here
[20:16] <anonissimus> dgd__: a pointer like that is what I was hoping for
[20:16] <anonissimus> thanks
[20:16] <dgd__> blz, did you check routes under netstat -rn?
[20:16] <Raikia> anonissimus: http://content.websitegear.com/article/subdomain_setup.htm
[20:17] <Raikia> Scroll down to "Apache Web Server"
[20:17] <dgd__> anonissimus, there is at least one website dedicated to Apache Rewrites
[20:17] <Raikia> It isn't a rewrite.  you don't want all / to go to /blog.  Otherwise "domain.com" would go to "domain.com/blog".  He wants a virtualhost
[20:18] <dgd__> Raikia, excellent point!
[20:18] <anonissimus> so if I edit the httpd conf with those parameters i will present the /blog folder for the subdomain?
[20:18] <Raikia> Thanks :-)
[20:18] <anonissimus> ofcourse after adding blog.domain.com to dns entries
[20:19] <Raikia> anonissimus: Are you referring to the link i posted?  Then yes
[20:19] <runelind> how do I set up network interface descriptions in ubuntu server?
[20:19] <anonissimus> Raikia: yes
[20:19] <runelind> like iface eth3 description "foo" or something like that
[20:19] <Raikia> Then yes
[20:19] <anonissimus> and thanks
[20:19] <erUSUL> runelind: in /etc/network/interfaces
[20:19] <runelind> I'm not finding an option in the /etc/network/interfaces file
[20:19] <runelind> erUSUL: what's the syntax?
[20:19] <erUSUL> runelind: to do what exactly ?
[20:19] <Raikia> Just make sure "DocumentRoot" is pointed to the "blog" folder (it must be an exact link, like "/var/www/blog"
[20:20] <dgd__> Ooooo. Now m00se has eyes  :)
[20:20] <FrozenFire[alt]> rohan, Regarding deluge, there's a folder in your ~ with all of the configuration files, I believe.
[20:20] <rohan> ohk checking :)
[20:20] <runelind> erUSUL: I will have 12 network interfaces, so I want to be able to see a description of them in ifconfig
[20:20] <dgd__> FrozenFire[alt], are you refering to ~/.config ?
[20:21] <FrozenFire[alt]> dgd__, It might be in there. That's a *relatively* recent development.
[20:21] <erUSUL> runelind: ooh you want descriptive names for your interfaces ... maybe take a look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ...
[20:21] <FrozenFire[alt]> Many applications still toss everything in ~
[20:21] <runelind> erUSUL: yeah that was my other thought, let me poke around there.
[20:21] <dgd__> FrozenFire[alt], right you are.
[20:23] <kingofswords> hi again..seemed to resolved itself strangily
[20:23] <brianl> I just installed Ubuntu 10.04, and im having a hard time getting my wireless internet working.. It is not recognizing my wireless?
[20:23] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, The modem thing?
[20:24] <kingofswords> i dont get wine1.3 in my synaptic..is it best to dl from winehq?
[20:24] <FrozenFire[alt]> Wireless stuff is very prone to ghosts blocking the signal :P
[20:24] <kingofswords> FrozenFire[alt], yeh
[20:24] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, There's a wine PPA, iirc.
[20:24] <brianl> Its a BCM4311
[20:24] <kingofswords> yeh it was more of a synaptic question really
[20:25] <kingofswords> im just wondering if im getting all the lastest releases and choices
[20:25] <FrozenFire[alt]> brianl, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[20:25] <anonissimus> Raikia: in the document root field pointing to a symbolic link is ok right /var/www/domainroot?
[20:26] <qin> kingofswords: Try to google: rolling distros (Ubuntu is not one of them).
[20:26] <Raikia> anonissimus: It might be....You might have to enable FollowSymLinks
[20:26] <kingofswords> i have to start my nm-applet in the terminal everytime i boot even though its set in the startup mgr, is there a way to sort that out
[20:26] <Raikia> anonissimus: http://www.maxi-pedia.com/FollowSymLinks
[20:27] <erUSUL> !broadcom | brianl
[20:27] <kingofswords> qin, thx
[20:27] <tomekh> hi. how can I install ubuntu theme (this dark with orange) in xubuntu?
[20:27] <blz> dgd__:  ok my machine responds to ping using local IP
[20:28] <qin> blz: To what request, ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[20:29] <blz> qin, no, the actual ip.  <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:30] <blz> qin, dgd__, in fact SSH works when I use this IP, but not when I specify the hostname.
[20:31] <alabd> MaRk-I:  how does vlc record desktop
[20:31] <mcc> Hello... I just did a sudo apt-get upgrade for the first time in awhile... in the process I got TONS of errors like "/sbin/apparmor_parser: Unable to replace "/usr/sbin/traceroute".  Profile version not supported by Apparmor module" ... How terrified should I be
[20:31] <mcc> Like should I be worried I just broke my system
[20:31] <mcc> and can apt-get upgrade redo the stuff that didn't work
[20:32] <mcc> I'm not really sure what apparmor is and I don't remember installing it, I guess it's a thing that comes with ubuntu?
[20:32] <FrozenFire[alt]> mcc, It's not uncommon for such warnings to be spit out.
[20:32] <MaRk-I> alabd: http://thejeshgn.com/2008/06/24/how-to-capture-the-screen-using-vlc-for-screencasting/
[20:32] <FrozenFire[alt]> I wouldn't worry about it.
[20:33] <MaRk-I> alabd: http://pctonic.net/use-vlc-as-a-screen-recording-tool/
[20:34] <mcc> frozenfire: ok. so that was just a warning, it doesn't mean "whoops didn't really upgrade mysqld, lol"?
[20:34] <FrozenFire[alt]> mcc, Unless you notice an issue, it's probably fine.
[20:34] <blz> anybody have an idea as to why my installation's local network IP works but the hostname won't resolve?  is this even an ubuntu issue?
[20:34] <c0dege3k> ok. anyone know why i can get audio but no video in vlc media player?
[20:35] <mcc> thanks
[20:35] <erUSUL> blz: do you have a DN server in your lan?
[20:35] <blz> c0dege3k:  launch vlc from terminal, launch video in vlc, post errors
[20:35] <erUSUL> blz: do you have a DNS server in your lan? doing the name resolution
[20:35] <blz> erUSUL:  not that I know of
[20:36] <blz> erUSUL:  i though hostnames were usually resolved automagically on the local net... like through the router or something
[20:36] <MaRk-I> alabd: if that's too complicated try this one seem pretty simple (I havent used it)  http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/try-kazam-new-screencasting-application.html
[20:36] <blz> (my n00bishness is now showing...)
[20:36] <RonyBirra> who can i enter in a ubuntu help channel in here ?
[20:36] <RonyBirra> in spanish
[20:36] <erUSUL> blz: so how do you expect that the hostnames to be resolved? you can use avahi/zeroconf automatic hostname resolution. hostname is hostname.local
[20:36] <kingofswords> ok heres a tricky one...burnt a dvd in ubuntu on this laptop but isnt reconised by windows or ubuntu but works perfectly in a different laptop
[20:36] <MaRk-I> RonyBirra: /join #ubuntu-es
[20:36] <erUSUL> blz: so try « ping hostname.local »
[20:36] <FrozenFire[alt]> RonyBirra, #ubuntu-es
[20:36] <RonyBirra> ty
[20:36] <erUSUL> !es | RonyBirra
[20:37] <kingofswords> do dvd drives need drivers?
[20:37] <erUSUL> kingofswords: no
[20:37] <alabd> MaRk-I: no but it was better if voice can be recorded with it
[20:37] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, The driver is usually in the kernel already
[20:37] <blz> erUSUL:  ping hostname.local yields "ping:  unkonwn hostname.local"
[20:37] <c0dege3k> blz: ok, nothing came up after i started the video, but here's the messages that came up: http://pastebin.com/Spfcwc3K
[20:37] <kingofswords> do you have any idea why this happens?
[20:37] <MaRk-I> alabd: if you read it says the bug has been fixed, doesnt work?
[20:38] <blz> c0dege3k:  ask the channel in general.  I don't know much about vlc
[20:38] <qin> How to "mount" remote device (speakers in my case)? Web browser > to remote sound.
[20:38] <erUSUL> blz: do it with an actual hostname instead of the string "hostname" i guess your machines have another names
[20:38] <alabd> MaRk-I: vlc ?
[20:38] <kingofswords> its a slidey in dvd drive without tray
[20:38] <tomekh> what's name of default ubuntu theme? (this black)
[20:38] <erUSUL> qin: speakers are not "mounted" afaics
[20:38] <blz> erUSUL:  oh... derp
[20:38] <MaRk-I> alabd:  ahh ehhmm it should... try this then http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/try-kazam-new-screencasting-application.html
[20:38] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, What kind of data did you write to the DVD?
[20:39] <blz> erUSUL:  ok that works
[20:39] <FrozenFire[alt]> If it's a copied DVD movie, you may need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras to get deCSS
[20:39] <erUSUL> blz: no problem
[20:39] <FrozenFire[alt]> As well as the necessary proprietary codecs
[20:39] <blz> erUSUL:  i'm getting normal looking ping
[20:39] <kingofswords> FrozenFire[alt], a iso
[20:39] <qin> erUSUL: I wait for hint, let me put it this way: how to capture local stream and send to remote machine.
[20:40] <kingofswords> but its a encrpted game
[20:40] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingedgar, Yeah, that probably will not work.
[20:40] <FrozenFire[alt]> Err, kingofswords
[20:40] <blz> kingofswords:  do you mean some sort of DRM?  that usually isn't supported under linux
[20:40] <kingofswords> no just a game
[20:40] <blz> kingofswords:  right, but you said it was encrypted
[20:41] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, DVD games often include wacky DRM code that makes it difficult to copy
[20:41] <kingofswords> sorry i meant zipped
[20:41] <blz> kingofswords:  i missed the original question.  what's going on?
[20:41] <kingofswords> ah ok
[20:41] <damno> i never use gwibber, but three instances of gwibber-servuce always runs. how do I stop it from being run?
[20:41] <blz> kingofswords:  if indeed the game is drm-ed, it probably won't work
[20:41] <kingofswords> but its not a linux or windows thing as it works on a different pc
[20:41] <kingofswords> i presume it the dvd drive
[20:41] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, Often, for Windows, you need something like Daemon Tools to mount the image directly.
[20:41] <FrozenFire[alt]> Writing it to a DVD may not work.
[20:42] <Auv5[Alt]> Sorry about all the quits/joins :\
[20:42] <blz> erUSUL:  so the local machine's hostname works when I ping it... what's the next step?
[20:42] <kingofswords> but it works in a different laptop
[20:42] <kingofswords> thought it might be a bios thing
[20:42] <erUSUL> blz: it already works. you got your name resolution
[20:42] <FrozenFire[alt]> kingofswords, Again, wacky DRM code. It's probably hit-or-miss
[20:42] <kingofswords> ah ok
[20:42] <blz> erUSUL:  so now it should resolve?
[20:42] <erUSUL> blz: you have to append .local to the machines hostnames
[20:42] <larsto> hi
[20:42] <erUSUL> blz: yes
[20:43] <blz> erUSUL:  ok, but it doesn't...
[20:43] <erUSUL> blz: what program is failing ?
[20:43] <blz> erUSUL:  to be clear, i ran the ping hostname.local on the local machine having the problem
[20:43] <damno> i never use gwibber, but three instances of gwibber-servuce always runs. how do I stop it from being run?
[20:43] <erUSUL> blz: ping works so it has to be a specific to that program problem
[20:43] <blz> putty, under windows
[20:44] <erUSUL> blz: maybe in windows you have to enable zeroconf in some place ? ask in ##windows ?
[20:44] <qin> blz: sudo apt-get install nast && sudo nast -i eth0 -m (this assume that you using cable - "-i wlan0" - for wifi, and will show you your lan)
[20:44] <madjoe> Does anyone know a good app for debugging PDF? I generated the PDF doc with my ImageMagick, and it shows in any PDF reader other that Adobe Reader. Any clues?
[20:45] <blz> erUSUL:  hmm maybe so... i'll check under a remote ubuntu system...
[20:45] <kingofswords> i dled ia32-libs so i could install 32bit googleearth on my 64bit ubuntu but when i try to install GE it just says wrong archetecture
[20:45] <Dr_Willis> kingofswords:  theres a repo withj google earth in it. or some tool to set it up.
[20:45] <Dr_Willis> !google-earth
[20:45] <Dr_Willis> !googleearth
[20:45] <kingofswords> whats repo?
[20:45] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get install googleearth-package   should install it..
[20:46] <FrozenFire[alt]> madjoe, PDF is a notoriously crappy format for that sort of thing.
[20:46] <kingofswords> if i get it from synaptic ill just get the 64 bit?
[20:46] <damno> i never use gwibber, but three instances of gwibber-servuce always runs. how do I stop it from being run?
[20:46] <FrozenFire[alt]> I'd say that you just have to fiddle until it works.
[20:46] <blz> erUSUL, qin:  the strange thing is that web interfaces from this computer are not resolving with the hostname (when i try to connect from another computer) AND ssh doesn't work either
[20:46] <Dr_Willis> kingofswords:  no idea. no idea why it would matter if its 64 or 32bit..
[20:46] <blz> so it's not program-specific...
[20:46] <Dr_Willis> kingofswords:  thats how i normally install it on my systems.
[20:46] <kingofswords> Dr_Willis, i tried 64bit ver b4 and had major problems...i think it doesnt work
[20:46] <blz> kingofswords:  don't use synaptic
[20:47] <blz> kingofsword:  use the command line or the software center
[20:47] <Dr_Willis> kingofswords:  tried it befor when? yesterday? last month?
[20:47] <kingofswords> blz for eveything or just g'earth?
[20:47] <Dr_Willis> I dont recall ever having issues with 64bit google earth.
[20:47] <kingofswords> a week ago
[20:47] <kingofswords> oh
[20:47] <blz> kingofswords:  for everything
[20:47] <blz> qin, erUSUL:  ok the hostname doesn't resolve from a remote ubuntu machine either
[20:48] <kingofswords> oh..what wrong with synaptics?
[20:48] <blz> kingofswords:  needlessly confusing.  99% of the time, people end up with the wrong thing
[20:48] <blz> kingofswords:  aptitude is a good way to do it too, esp for package search
[20:48] <damno> i never use gwibber, but three instances of gwibber-servuce always runs. how do I stop it from being run?
[20:48] <kingofswords> Dr_Willis,  but surely if i have the ia32libs it should work
[20:49] <blz> btw, qin, nast seems to show everything is ok...
[20:49] <Dr_Willis> kingofswords:  no idea. ive never had issues with it not working
[20:49] <FrozenFire[alt]> damno, Remove the gwibber package and log out then in.
[20:49] <FrozenFire[alt]> That'll solve it.
[20:49] <madjoe> FrozenFire[alt]: well, that's the requirement... do u have an idea how to debug it?
[20:50] <Holek> morning
[20:50] <FrozenFire[alt]> madjoe, Are you using something like PHP to do this, or are you invoking ImageMagick directly?
[20:50] <Raisor> damno: I think Ubuntu uses gwibber to connect if you setup your ubuntu to connect to facebook/twitter... I could be wrong
[20:50] <FrozenFire[alt]> Via bash, that is.
[20:50] <Holek> how can I check details of a particular window, like window class, role, etc?
[20:51] <FrozenFire[alt]> Gwibber is used for social media integration in Ubuntu. Empathy is the chat client.
[20:51] <alabd> MaRk-I:  kazam works but output format is .mkv , but I(humble) need a output file that can be played in windows easily
[20:51] <madjoe> FrozenFire[alt]: yeah, I'M
[20:51] <Phong_> is there a dvd burning software for linux?
[20:51] <madjoe> IM + PHP
[20:51] <Holek> ie. I'm hovering cursor over a window, and get info about current window
[20:51] <Logan_> x!burn | Phong_
[20:51] <FrozenFire[alt]> madjoe, You may have better luck in ##php, or if you can't get help there, try #phpc
[20:51] <Logan_> !burn | Phong_
[20:51] <MaRk-I> alabd: well transcode it with arista
[20:51] <FrozenFire[alt]> #phpc is a community channel, but we like really hard questions there :P
[20:52] <erUSUL> blz: firewall getting in the way ?
[20:52] <erUSUL> blz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToZeroconf <<<
[20:52] <Phong_> not only burning iso.but do more that than?
[20:52] <Phong_> like burn music
[20:52] <blz> erUSUL:  no firewall
[20:52] <cardamon> Hey.
[20:52] <erUSUL> blz: for windows http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999
[20:53] <erUSUL> blz: well it should just work afaics
[20:53] <blz> ok thanks, i'll take a look at this
[20:53] <kingofswords> err stupid question...how do i open software centre?
[20:53] <kingofswords> oh its ok
[20:55] <Phong_> Logan_, k3b seem to be the best one i need
[20:55] <Phong_> ;)
[20:55] <cardamon> mv can move a whole directory, right?
[20:55] <LjL> yes
[20:55] <erUSUL> cardamon: yes
[20:56] <alabd> MaRk-l methink it can not
[20:56] <Logan_> Phong_: Great :)
[20:56] <cardamon> erUSUL: Does it need an switch like cp does? --recursive or something?
[20:56] <Logan_> Phong_: Sorry if the bot presented you with too many options :P
[20:56] <lewis_> when using "sudo displayconfig-gtk" in terminal i get command not found. i am told to use it in the forums. what is up??
[20:56] <Phong_> Logan_, what does it meant by: in bridged connection mode: Replicate physical network connection state ?
[20:57] <tuhin> is their any max size or date limit for "var/cache/apt/archive" ??
[20:58] <Nach0z13> Hey is there a  counterpart to the add-apt-repository command to remove an apt repository?
[20:58] <lewis_> when using "sudo displayconfig-gtk" in terminal i get command not found. i am told to use it in the forums. what is up??
[20:59] <Phong_> ok how can i install k3b?
[20:59] <Phong_> k3b.org is only source
[20:59] <mali> sudo apt-ge tinstall k3b
[20:59] <mali> ?
[20:59] <mali> apt-get*
[20:59] <hoey> junk
[21:00] <Phong_> ok last, how can i change su password?
[21:00] <Phong_> i want to change the su password
[21:01] <Diamondcite> phong, normally ubuntu has no password set to do su - with
[21:02] <Diamondcite> Phong_: sudo -i has the same effect as "su -" but if you must.. I think "sudo passwd" will change the root password
[21:02] <lewis_> when using "sudo displayconfig-gtk" in terminal i get command not found. i am told to use it in the forums. what is up??
[21:02] <Diamondcite> lewis_: What happens when you just type: displayconfig-gtk
[21:03] <Diamondcite> Does the terminal recommend anything?
[21:03] <lewis_> file not found
[21:04] <Phong_> Diamondcite, thanks it works.
[21:04] <Phong_> Diamondcite, how to uninstall applications,  or example i want to uninstall k3b
[21:04] <Phong_> with command ;)
[21:05] <lewis_> Diamondcite i get "file not found" any suggestains
[21:05] <Diamondcite> Phong_: Use synaptic to do it.. or apt-get remove k3b
[21:05] <Phong_> i prefer command ;) thanks.
[21:05] <cardamon> I've got an app that I installed manually rather than going through a package, but it installed everything to my home directory. It's for the most part self contained within its dir, but I like to keep things clean in my ~/. Where would you guys put it?
[21:05] <Diamondcite> lewis_: That command is for Ubuntu 8.04 and under, what are you trying to do?
[21:05] <cardamon> /usr/share/* ?
[21:05] <Holek> how can I check details of a particular window, like window class, role, etc? in example, I'm hovering cursor over a window, and get info about current window
[21:05] <Diamondcite> cardamon: usually /usr/local/*
[21:06] <lewis_> ok  i am trying to get full screen on my monitor  settings will only let me go  to 800x600
[21:07] <xiong> cardamon, I don't see an issue with /usr/share or /usr/local. But you may want to think about an insight I had a while ago. It may just not really matter. There is no consistent overall plan.
[21:07] <lewis_> I am using trident microsystems cyberblade grafics
[21:07] <Rehan> Could someone help me with Grub2 and Windows? I had to manually enter a Win7 entry in grub2 because it could not detect the win7 partition. I also had to install easyBCD bootloader in windows. Now I am able to choose my OS at boot but for some reason grub2 is no longer remembering which OS it booted last and I'm unable to make the "previously booted entry" become the default boot. Thank you very much.
[21:08] <xiong> cardamon, There are loose conventions that some authors follow, which things go where. But when you start digging, you see that there's a lot of variation.
[21:08] <Diamondcite> lewis_: Do you have a System -> Preferences -> Monitor   ?
[21:08] <Diamondcite> lewis_: Also it is just ONE single monitor right not a multi head display?
[21:09] <lewis_> yes only allows 800x600 single display
[21:09] <choringa> hi, its my first time on a irc how i see the channels?
[21:09] <tmbg> how does one install firefox3 in natty? max version I can use for this ff plugin is 3.6, and natty comes with ff4. I can't really find much info in google about making it work
[21:09] <Diamondcite> lewis_: Could you please type xrandr and then pastebin the output?
[21:10] <choringa> xrandr
[21:10] <alphaamanitin> hey skodabenz
[21:11] <Diamondcite> ...
[21:11] <lewis_> xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default

[21:11] <Diamondcite> lewis_: I said PASTEBIN! Not into the channnel x.x
[21:11] <diglett> quick question, has anyone sucessfully gotten l2tp working with ubuntu?
[21:12] <skodabenz> alphaamanitin: come into pm
[21:12] <Diamondcite> diglett: Slow answer, I never heard of such a thing =P
[21:12] <alphaamanitin> how?
[21:12] <skodabenz> alphaamanitin: next tab in freenode
[21:12] <lewis_> what is pastebin please excust i am bran new to linux
[21:13] <diglett> Diamoncite: :( seems to be the normal reaction
[21:13] <cardamon> xiong: what about permissions for that?
[21:13] <Diamondcite> lewis_: It's a site to put large amount of text.. such as http://paste.ubuntu.com
[21:13] <skodabenz> lewis_: pastebin.com or pastie.org
[21:13] <cardamon> I never know what to do about permissions.
[21:14] <Dr_Willis> !permissions
[21:14] <Rehan> hi Dr_Willis
[21:14] <A_J> !virtualbox
[21:14] <Dr_Willis> howdy
[21:14] <smiley7> hey guys i need some help,i am not able to access my windows98 computer with ubuntu
[21:14] <xiong> cardamon, Well, permissions are usually not all that important -- although some would disagree. It's a matter of viewpoint. If the file needs to be executable, then of course, make it so.
[21:14] <jiltdil> yhow to disable any command>
[21:14] <smiley7> when i boot in windows xp i can access my files,but not in linux
[21:15] <xiong> cardamon, Generally, as a user, you will not have permissions to alter anything outside of ~; but you can escalate using sudo to do any kind of needed alteration, when you need to do it. This is recommended.
[21:15] <sgerbino> hey all does anyone know how to properly stop apt-mirror?
[21:15] <Rehan> Dr_Willis: I'm having trouble with grub2 and win7 and 10.10, after updating my kernel my win7 is no longer autodetected in grub2. I *think* I have my grub2 installed on the MBR rather than the ubuntu partition but I'm a relative noob so not sure exactly. Could you help? Thank you
[21:16] <psytech> hrllo my audio just stopped working. Im using an asrock m3a770de motherboard with an Intel HDA chip
[21:16] <xiong> cardamon, If you except home dirs, then generally, all dirs on the system will have the same permissions: anybody can read, nobody can write.
[21:16] <smiley7> it says,Failed to retrieve share list from server
[21:16] <psytech> and i know its not hardware, i dual boot windows, and the sound still works on there
[21:16] <xiong> cardamon, So from a permissions viewpoint, /usr/share and /usr/local are indifferent.
[21:16] <smiley7> i can see my windows 98 computer
[21:17] <smiley7> any help ?
[21:18] <lewis_> submitted on pastebin.com  thanks for the help
[21:19] <Rehan> Dr_Willis: any idea?
[21:20] <psytech> hello has anyone else been having problems with hda-intel sound chips?
[21:21] <Dr_Willis> Rehan:  you have ran a sudo update-grub ?
[21:21] <Rehan> Dr_Willis: yep
[21:23] <Dr_Willis> You could alway add a entry for the windows part to the /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[21:23] <lewis_> Diamondcite: submitted on pastebin.com
[21:24] <Rehan> Dr_Willis: yeah, thats what I've done so far, and it works, but I'm wondering if you could shed some light onto why it no longer auto-detects it? I feel that the problem keeping it from auto-detecting may be the same reason its unable to realize when windows was the last boot option
[21:24] <Success> hey
[21:24] <Success> hello
[21:24] <Success> hi
[21:24] <Success> where is the setting for webcam/microphone

[21:30] <psytech> !isitoutyet
[21:30] <psytech> hello my audio just stopped working
[21:30] <psytech> but my sound chip is still recognized
[21:30] <psytech> does this mean its a kernel problem?
[21:31] <Phong_> anyone know how to compile k3b?
[21:31] <Phong_> there is the latest version 2.0.2
[21:31] <erUSUL> psytech: for what we know it may be simply muted... have you checked both in sound preferences and in alsamixer?
[21:31] <Dr_Willis> is theres some new features you must have?  theres proberly some ppas for it.
[21:32] <christina> someone here who can help me with grub2
[21:32] <Dr_Willis> Phong_:  instasll the build-essential package.  then use 'sudo apt-get build-deps k3b' (or was it build-dep)  download the source.. extract. do the  ./configure, make, sudo make install routine.
[21:32] <Dr_Willis> !grub2
[21:32] <erUSUL> !anyone | christina
[21:32] <Dr_Willis> Some times ya just gotta dive in and read the grub2 docs. :) its an amazing system.
[21:33] <Phong_> Dr_Willis, what do you meant build-essential package?
[21:33] <erUSUL> christina: ask the question directly :)
[21:33] <Phong_> Dr_Willis, where can i get the build-essential?
[21:33] <anonymity> so has anyone tried the partial upgrade from Ubuntu 10.10 to whatever it upgrades to? Still new to Linux, but it said that it removed g++ and I was hoping to get back into C++
[21:33] <YankDownUnder> mongy, Someone from UbuntuFB says, "Hi" to ya...just FYI
[21:34] <Phong_> Dr_Willis, come on
[21:34] <thien> when opening some tabs with firefox in ubuntu, cpu too high >80% why ?
[21:34] <christina> updated system grub also, shows linux only from hda3 not bootable, but doesn't show linux versions from hda1 bootable
[21:34] <lewis_> ok  i am trying to get full screen on my monitor  settings will only let me go  to 800x600
[21:35] <christina> maybe os_prober fault?

[21:35] <Logan_> !best | _dreamy
[21:35] <ultradan> Hey everyone, I've got a question that's probably super easy to answer, but I've had no luck in solving it. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04b2 on an Asus EEE 1005HA netbook, but when it gets to the keyboard-configuration part of the install, it hangs for about a minute then restarts the machine. I've tried both the standard install and the alternate install with no luck. Any ideas?
[21:35] <Logan_> oops, that was for _DV_
[21:36] <MaRk-I> ultradan: ask in #ubuntu+1
[21:36] <rhizmoe> ultradan: well for one thing, it's a beta
[21:36] <DrManhattan> rhizmoe, thats not much of an answer
[21:36] <ultradan> rhizmoe: Same thing happens in 10.10 when I try to install.
[21:37] <erUSUL> christina: run « os-prober » directly see what it says. or « sudo update-grub »
[21:37] <rhizmoe> DrManhattan: but you don't have a problem with "ask in #other channel" ok
[21:37] <mongy> YankDownUnder,  lol
[21:37] <rhizmoe> ultradan: just a reboot?
[21:37] <oxodesign> hi need some help with postfix, some weeks ago i installed postfix by running this command "sudo apt-get install postfix", then on the configuration i selected option 2 (Internet site), and gave a name to the server. If I remember right I did not do anything else, it just worked to send email with PHP. But on my new server it does not work, any idea? Do I need to configure something else?
[21:38] <DrManhattan> rhizmoe, it's more appropriate

[21:39] <DrManhattan> rhizmoe, glad I could help
[21:39] <lewis_> ok  i am trying to get full screen on my monitor  settings will only let me go  to 800x600
[21:39] <rhizmoe> ultrixx: there seems to be some wonkiness with those and ubuntu
[21:40] <rhizmoe> ultrixx: woops i guess ultradan left
[21:40] <psytech> erUSUL: yes i checked everything
[21:40] <ultrixx> rhizmoe: ;-)
[21:40] <christina> update-grub findes just the same bootable stuff
[21:40] <rhizmoe> maybe DrManhattan msg'ed him the fix
[21:41] <erUSUL> psytech: alsamixer do not give any error? or the sound apps?
[21:41] <christina> grub-mkconfig also doesn't change anything
[21:41] <Guest93835> it is possibl to put gnome look like KDE??
[21:41] <DrManhattan> rhizmoe, kindly troll elsewhere plz.
[21:41] <Toph> why does grub list so many enteries,, seems most are redundant
[21:41] <rhizmoe> you can edit them

[22:07] <Guest59365> what i can do to solve this problem
[22:07] <morn__> evilgeenius: in your /home/.../.ssh/config e.g. Host shortname <new line> HostName mylong.host.name

[22:09] <Redeadhunter> I burned it into a cd
[22:09] <morn__> evilgeenius: e.g. "search my.domain" in resolv.conf to resolv "myhost" as "myhost.my.domain"
[22:09] <COZAD_2o1o> gnome-do is a program, that comes bundled with this thing called docky which is like the mac doc

[22:14] <adrian_berg> How do you highlight some code and insert comments for those lines of code in gedit?
[22:14] <MK``> there should be an option in bios to change the boot order, but usually Esc or some other function key lets you open the manual selector, Redeadhunter

[22:24] <coz_> JakoLight,  this is the main support channel for ubuntu so this one,,, also if you need compiz help that would be #compiz,,,
[22:24] <JakoLight> very useful
[22:24] <coz_> JakoLight,   if you need help with things that you are not sure of with ubuntu ,, again this would be the place even if someone directs you to the another chanel
[22:25] <Galvatron> JakoLight: ubunttu+1 (Natty), compiz, nvidia, radeon (open source drivers), ati (proprietary drivers), kubuntu, xubuntu
[22:26] <deadhead> !natty
[22:26] <stephen> Hi.
[22:28] <mitch__> Would it be safe to just delete DMZ_Black if it keeps switching between my cool mouse cursors and that drab, plain one?
[22:28] <james_> my connection sucks
[22:28] <Galvatron> deadhead: Wait untill july, so many bugs will already be fixed, unless you have an urgent need for newer system (great difference in performance, support for specific devices etc.).
[22:29] <AviMarcus> ah found something in syslog: Apr 24 15:22:44 sip4 init: Failed to spawn ssh pre-start process: unable to set oom adjustment: Operation not permitted
[22:30] <AviMarcus> that's something in the upstart job, I guess? Where are upstart files?
[22:32] <intlkleinblue> Is there a simple way to get Notify-OSD to work with RSS feeds?
[22:32] <Oday> what is the command to completely purge a certain package from the system?
[22:32] <Oday> sudo apt-get purge or something?
[22:32] <intlkleinblue> Oday: I think it's sudo apt-get remove
[22:32] <Oday> but there's a purge somewhere
[22:32] <Oday> im sure of it
[22:32] <Guest17466> Error with Gnome Compiz....WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function "glXCreatePixmap" when GLX 1.3 is not supported!  This is an application bug!
[22:32] <Oday> havent heard of it?
[22:33] <intlkleinblue> also sudo apt-get purge works
[22:33] <Galvatron> Oday: sudo aptitude purge
[22:33] <AzoteLogiko> hi guys
[22:33] <AzoteLogiko> nice door :D
[22:34] <shcherbak> Oday: sudo apt-get remove --purge (man apt can help as checking for application dotfiles in home directory).
[22:34] <coz_> Inkblue10`,   how are you starting compiz?
[22:34] <Oday> nice nice
[22:34] <Oday> haha
[22:34] <Oday> i removed the database
[22:34] <Oday> FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
[22:34] <FloodBot3> Oday: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:35] <shcherbak> Oday: How?
[22:35] <AviMarcus> Oday, you purged mysql or something?
[22:35] <Inkblue10`> I didnt see it in System > Administration nor Preferences.
[22:35] <Oday> yes sir
[22:35] <Oday> hahaha
[22:35] <shcherbak> Oday: Show last command, please.
[22:35] <Oday> it's done man
[22:35] <Inkblue10`> So I went through the terminal and went through "compiz"
[22:35] <Oday> i think i have the dump somewhere here
[22:35] <AviMarcus> out of curiosity, what did you think purge was going to do?
[22:36] <AviMarcus> other than remove all preferences and all data?
[22:36] <Oday> remove phpmyadmin
[22:36] <Oday> not my database
[22:36] <Oday> what's it got to do with my database
[22:36] <coz_> Inkblue10`,    ok  in stead of just  compiz in terminal  try      compiz --replace ccp & disown
[22:36] <AviMarcus> you did purge phpmyadmin?
[22:36] <Oday> it is just there to be a medium between me and it
[22:36] <Oday> not to own it
[22:36] <Oday> so inferior
[22:37] <coz_> Inkblue10`,  also when talking with someone specifically ,, tyep the first 2 or 3 letters of their name and hit the Tab key to complete it then type your message,, this way that person will be alerted
[22:37] <uofm49426> xubuntu is not responding and one help me with a small problem maybe its a ubuntu to thing
[22:37] <intlkleinblue> So....anyone know anything about notify-osd and rss feeds?
[22:37] <teddyb> how do i go about mounting and ftp location so it can be used by all programs?

[22:37] <coz_> AviMarcus,  commas?  am I  typing excess commas> :)
[22:37] <Galvatron> uofm49426: Define "not responding"
[22:37] <Oday> but hey, i can still access this "mysql -uroot -pPASSWORD"
[22:38] <Oday> does that mean anything at all?
[22:38] <Oday> the drupal site is gone, though
[22:38] <AviMarcus> teddyb, you can use "sshfs" to mount an SSH connection
[22:38] <uofm49426> when i close my laptop screen i cant get a picture back
[22:38] <AviMarcus> teddyb, ftp is kinda insecure
[22:38] <intlkleinblue> bye guise
[22:38] <teddyb> AviMarcus yeah but its all i have :(
[22:38] <coz_> AviMarcus,  ah I see I was shooting for the period key
[22:38] <uofm49426> just seems like  talking
[22:39] <Galvatron> Oday: It is advisable to backup any important data before you ourge the related component.
[22:39] <AviMarcus> teddyb, are you sure? some web host?
[22:39] <Oday> well it's done now
[22:39] <Oday> think forward :)
[22:39] <escott> teddyb, if you want ftp as a filesystem you will need to use a FUSE module
[22:40] <teddyb> AviMarcus Yeah im sure, escott ill have a look at it thanks
[22:40] <uofm49426> is there program i need installed for when screen closes and wake up

[22:42] <coz_> Inkblue10`,  then paste the link to it h ere
[22:42] <escott> teddyb, you can try http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/344/mounting-ftp-host-to-local-directory-on-top-of-fuse/ but if you have to use ftp I would get a good client like ncftp and do it from the command line
[22:44] <AviMarcus> Please use SSH/SCP/SFTP/rsync-over-ssh instead of FTP: http://www.43folders.com/2008/07/14/dump-ftp
[22:44] <Inkblue10`> coz_: http://pastebin.com/Y41zU8g7
[22:44] <AviMarcus> teddyb :)
[22:45] <coz_> Inkblue10`,  ok that looks fine,,,   was this happening from the beginning or did it just begin,, and when?
[22:45] <Inkblue10`> I just installed Ubuntu 10.04.
[22:46] <Inkblue10`> and installed the updates.
[22:46] <Inkblue10`> Would it be that I need to upgrade or...
[22:46] <coz_> Inkblue10`,  and which video card do you have there?
[22:46] <coz_> Inkblue10`,      if you are not sure  in terminal  type     lspci | grep -i vga
[22:46] <Inkblue10`> No idea, though I do see on my side panel it says Intel HD Graphics

[22:47] <escott> docmur, you need to run a script included in the libdvdcss install
[22:47] <escott> docmur, trying to find the path
[22:48] <Inkblue10`> coz_: Would it matter if I installed the i386 or 64bit?
[22:48] <coz_> Inkblue10`,  doubtful...  is this a clean install of ubuntu or an upgrade?
[22:48] <thewise> i'm using 64-bit
[22:48] <Inkblue10`> coz_: Clean install.
[22:48] <coz_> mm

[22:49] <coz_> Inkblue10`,   and when you go to  System/Preferences/Appearance  is there a  "Visual Effects"  tab...yes?
[22:49] <AviMarcus> hmm, +s as root maybe
[22:49] <HHabib> I tried something like write PASSWORD but it did not work ..
[22:49] <escott> docmur, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs (just running the install-css.sh)
[22:50] <Galvatron> Inkblue10`: 64-bit supprts 4GB of RAM and more, but some packages lach 64-bit versions and Flash 64-bit is an experimental stuff (or something like that).
[22:50] <Phong_> how to unzip tar with terminal?

[22:51] <HHabib> any suggestions ? anybody ?
[22:51] <escott> HHabib, you could try setting the sticky bit on your script, and changing the scripts ownership to root. Just be aware of the security consequences of that.
[22:51] <Inkblue10`> coz_: Normal.
[22:51] <HHabib> alright escott ...
[22:51] <coz_> Inkblue10`,  ok  now open ccsm   or compizconfig-settings-manager
[22:53] <Galvatron> Inkblue10`: 64-bit versions of apps sometimes might be significantly faster. But because of the Flash, the 32-bit is the recommended version. Also, there are 32-bit kernels with PAE, to overcome the memory adressing limitations of 32-bit. Though, there might still be a 3GB+ limit of memory for a single process, but I'm not sure about it.
[22:53] <yk1000> Phong_: wiki! tar
[22:53] <docmur> that worked :-)
[22:53] <docmur> Strange
[22:54] <docmur> I've actually never ran that before
[22:54] <docmur> ever and it's always worked
[22:54] <docmur> but meh lol works now
[22:54] <HHabib> escott how to do that?
[22:54] <yk1000> Phong_: !wiki tar
[22:55] <coz_> Inkblue10`,  i have to break here,,, be back in a bit
[22:55] <Galvatron> coz_: Wouldn't it be better to use the now empty compiz channel?
[22:55] <Oday> here it says that HiveDB still exists
[22:55] <cgoldberg_> i
[22:55] <escott> HHabib, sudo chown root:root file.sh; sudo chmod +s file.sh; this is almost certainly a bad idea
[22:56] <HHabib> well if it is not the only idea ..then I really need to push my sudo password from my bash file ...that's the only thing .
[22:56] <Fleck> !kernel
[22:56] <escott> HHabib, what does your script do?
[22:56] <HHabib> starts lampp ...
[22:57] <HHabib> lampp asks for sudo
[22:57] <HHabib> #!/bin/sh
[22:57] <HHabib> sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
[22:57] <HHabib> something like that ..
[22:57] <Fleck> !mainline
[22:58] <cgoldberg_> I just wanna say that Unity on Natty is really coming together nicely.  Spent the afternoon configuring my new system with beta 2, and it is stunning from a UI perspective.
[22:58] <hoss> Anyone know why I do not have an input device in Sound Preferences?  10.10 Desktop Edition on Aspire One.
[22:58] <Phong_> how can i remove all the file including the folder and it's sub folder within /Downloads ???
[22:58] <Phong_> with terminal command line.
[22:58] <bc81> hi.  i need some help getting my server (headless xubuntu 10.10, accessed via VNC) to change display modes.  it seems to be "stuck" in 1024x768 resolution.  for example, if i do "xrandr -s 800x600" it says: Size 800x600 not found in available modes.  how can i change the display to something like 1280x1024, or better yet, 1366x768?
[22:58] <escott> HHabib, if you want it started every boot add it to you runlevel
[22:59] <HHabib> how do I do that?
[22:59] <shcherbak> Phong_: rm -r /folder/name (carefull)
[22:59] <AviMarcus> Oh. is there raid software? I have a computer with old-ish hard drives, I'm wondering if I can add some data security to that
[23:00] <paw> anyone here with a thinkpad sl300 ? I was wondering about the intel corporation mobile 4 series chipset integrated graphics controller. I dont see any driver info or controlpanel for that.
[23:00] <hoss> Anyone out there savvy with getting built-in mic on an Aspire One working with 10.10?
[23:00] <HHabib> escott: I was going to start that bashfile from StartUp Applications ...
[23:00] <Fleck> !naty
[23:00] <shcherbak> Fleck: Natty
[23:00] <greenup_> can i use modrewrite to make the webserver think certain files are in different directory? or some sort of file links?
[23:00] <HHabib> but now that bashfile won't do cuz it needs the sudo password ...
[23:00] <Fleck> !natty
[23:00] <escott> HHabib, its going to be in /etc/init.d
[23:01] <Fleck> shcherbak thx :)
[23:01] <Fleck> !version
[23:02] <Galvatron> paw: As far as I know, the Intel graphic chips are using only the open source drivers, built in Ubuntu, and there's nothing like Catalysts or Forceware (proprietary drivers + dedicated control panel) for them.
[23:03] <paw> Galvatron: hmm. so thats a good thing ? Its just that I have been used to being able to tweak some setting, and this new thinkpad i have, well.. It works, but for gaming I dont seem to have any options :(
[23:03] <hoss> Aspire One built-in mic not detected; any thoughts?
[23:04] <escott> HHabib, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto
[23:06] <Galvatron> paw: You best ask in an Intel GMA-dedicated channel. Unfortunately, I don;'t know it's name.
[23:07] <paw> Galvatron: thanks :) apparently a channel for everything. and .. hmm.. I know Its not a top notch laptop I bought :D
[23:08] <hoss> Aspire One built-in mic not detected; any thoughts?
[23:08] <escott> hoss, look for a script hda something
[23:08] <shcherbak> !alsa
[23:10] <slakar> Can any1 help me with my webserver
[23:11] <alad_o> I need help: i ticked “don't ask for password at login“ and now i can not login because my home dir is encrypted. This setting can not be found in the custom.conf. either. Does anyone know where i can find this setting?
[23:12] <H4VK> i think you can change that setting using ubuntu tweak
[23:12] <H4VK> sorry i cant be more helpful than that
[23:12] <alad_o> From the console?
[23:13] <slakar> Can any1 help with my webserver
[23:13] <H4VK> no, using this program: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[23:13] <shcherbak> alad_o: Sure, sudo service gdm reload (I assume that you have access to your ~ in console)
[23:13] <escott> slakar, you need to describe your problem
[23:13] <alad_o> But i can not login to the gui because of the problem
[23:14] <shcherbak> alad_o: or *restart*
[23:14] <slakar> Sry
[23:14] <H4VK> oh, sorry didnt properly read your original question
[23:14] <H4VK> my bad

[23:23] <slakar> I need help gettin my website to wrk
[23:23] <shcherbak> slakar: try to remove "/ <root> " and /j #apache
[23:23] <bc81> i need help with xorg.conf, where did it go?  what file do i edit now to chenge resolutions on a server with no monitor hooked up?
[23:23] <slakar> Wait explain
[23:23] <slakar> I put in root outta frustration
[23:24] <slakar> Some1 invite me to apache Plz
[23:24] <escott> bc81, a) the server runs on the system with the monitor no monitor=headless=no X server
[23:24] <hoss> escott, could you be more specific?
[23:24] <escott> bc81, b) modern Xorg server is pretty good at autoconfig so you should try xrandr utility
[23:25] <slakar> Scherbak
[23:25] <bc81> escott, xrandr is not playing nice.  here's my original question: i need some help getting my server (headless xubuntu 10.10, accessed via VNC) to change display modes.  it seems to be "stuck" in 1024x768 resolution.  for example, if i do "xrandr -s 800x600" it says: Size 800x600 not found in available modes.  how can i change the display to something like 1280x1024, or better yet, 1366x768?
[23:25] <escott> hoss, I've had a lot of success with the hda_analyzer.py script from alsa. Its a bit confusing to use at first, but for many new laptops the developers don't have access to the hardware and can't get the settings correct
[23:26] <slakar> Bc81 wats ute question I might be able to help
[23:26] <shcherbak> slakar: OK, have a look at source of this site (sent in private message, respect for channel policy, its users, and also ops).
[23:27] <donkeyinspace> hello... as an ubuntu rookie i installed a .gz instead of a .deb package. how do i uninstall it ?
[23:27] <escott> bc81, im not familiar with vnc and how it works, but I would think that you need to be changing stuff on the client side not the server (ie in the vnc client)
[23:27] <slakar> Wait way am I lookin at
[23:27] <bc81> slakar: need to make the screen bigger (e.g. 1280x1024) but there's no monitor so it won't let me
[23:27] <slakar> So u want to add BBC
[23:27] <slakar> Vnc
[23:28] <slakar> Or does it have alredy
[23:28] <trickysse> Hey, what's the best way of adding something to my PATH?
[23:28] <escott> donkeyinspace, do you mean you did make; make install? if so is there a make uninstall?
[23:28] <nmaxchat> coz_, reply from developper: I'm sorry, but I don't have gnome.
[23:28] <nmaxchat> I just had a look at how things are working with gnome and it doesn't look so
[23:28] <nmaxchat> bright. You should ask the ubuntu folk if something like that is even possible
[23:29] <nmaxchat> Secondly it seems that there would be some changes to the workflow needed
[23:29] <nmaxchat> since nautilius doesn't seem to support actions in submenus. And since I'm not
[23:29] <nmaxchat> using gnome this is a little bit complicated.
[23:29] <FloodBot3> nmaxchat: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:29] <shcherbak> trickysse: either export or edit .bashrc
[23:29] <bc81> escott: i'm using Vinagre as the client but there's no option for resolution. i'm pretty sure it's server side issue because when i boot the server with the monitor plugged in, the display looks good (1366x768 res)
[23:29] <escott> trickysse, .bashrc
[23:29] <nmaxchat> FloodBot3, ooops
[23:29] <bc81> slakar: i don't understad, soryy
[23:29] <hoss> escott, so I got the script and it is totally confusing.
[23:29] <bc81> slakar: what is BBC?
[23:29] <hoss> escott, what am I looking for in the GUI?
[23:30] <escott> hoss, i can give you a general outline of how it works let me pull it up (fyi it needs to be run as root)
[23:30] <trickysse> escott: cheers
[23:30] <bc81> escott: so i need a way to trick the server into believing there is a monitor hooked up when it boots, or else it goes to 1024x768 mode
[23:31] <escott> bc81, I'm afraid I don't know. I think you can generate an xorg.conf and put it in the init directory. try googling?
[23:31] <pastorbelga> #ebooks
[23:32] <escott> hoss, so all these notes are various registers in the hardware. You want to make sure that the AUD_IN is matching with the correct input PIN
[23:32] <bc81> escott: i did lots of google, only problem is all the info i found is outdated as there is no more /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:32] <slakar> Bc81 on itouch corrects everyting i say
[23:32] <bc81> slakar: ok, i see ;-)
[23:32] <hoss> escott, what is an input PIN?
[23:33] <escott> hoss, on my AUD_IN I have selector 0x17 and if I go to pin 0x17 AUD_SEL I have pin complex 0x1a and if I go to 0x1a I see under "PIN Caps" that it is my input PIN
[23:33] <jpastore> hi. I'm trying to get ubuntu to operate off of a usb stick. installing a few things seems to be a problem. I keep getting complaints about initramfs-tools and fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle. I tried getting my ATI card to work and it failed horribly. any suggestions?
[23:34] <escott> bc81, have you tried one of the Xorg channels, they might know how to do this
[23:34] <naryfa> does anybody know how can I introduce myself to linux programming??? I picked that book BEGINNING LINUX PROGRAMMING by Neil Matthew and Richard Stones but this is nowhere near to the beginning. In their damn description they say they assume some knowledge of C. Is that really a beginners point? I learned some BASH and PERL but what can I do next??? Any recommendations?
[23:34] <bc81> hmm..ok
[23:35] <escott> hoss, so basically you have look through the "PIN"s until you find one that looks like it might be your mic
[23:35] <shcherbak> !abs | naryfa
[23:35] <hoss> escott, and then?
[23:35] <s0ap> i want to be able to stream my movie library...what is the best software for that? and I'm using ubuntu server so I'm unfamiliar with how to install without using apt-get or similar
[23:35] <escott> hoss,  and then play make sure your AUD_IN and AUD_SEL are changed to point to that thing
[23:35] <shcherbak> naryfa: Start from bash, then go for lower stuff.
[23:36] <escott> hoss, and then test to see if you are getting sound
[23:36] <naryfa> shcherbak: What is considered lower stuff in your understanding?
[23:37] <hoss> escott, thanks... hopefull I dont break anything lol.. I have a stereo jack input for a mic and a build in mic so there are actually two inputs to choose from.
[23:37] <shcherbak> naryfa: assembler
[23:38] <naryfa> shcherbak: ok, I'll look, thanks
[23:38] <escott> hoss, the stereo jack will advertise a mic with a press detect. the built in mic will just say mic
[23:38] <shcherbak> naryfa: other interesting are perl, python, llua.
[23:39] <Average_Guy> can anyone here talk me through getting the restricted drivers nessessary to enable wireless on my laptop for a fresh linux install WITHOUT a physical internet connection.  ie. useing windoze on a public network to get what I need and then make it work in linux
[23:39] <llua> :X
[23:39] <lewis_> Is there a program that i can install to download and install drivers
[23:39] <Average_Guy> i've been working on it all day
[23:39] <escott> hoss, you will lose these settings on each reboot, so once you get it working you either have to force them to be loaded in, or send the info to the developers so that they can incorporate your laptops sound settings into the default
[23:39] <Average_Guy> been to may forums and channels
[23:41] <trickysse> escott: I'm trying to install an add on for Qt, and it keeps telling me Qt isn't installed. But I've added it to my PATH and it shows up when I echo PATH in terminal... any ideas?
[23:41] <trickysse> (as in I've already installed Qt, and it works)
[23:41] <escott> trickysse, have you logged out (X session may not have gotten word of the PATH changes)
[23:42] <hoss> escott, sounds like alot of work.. not that I am not willing to put in the leg work it just that I honestly do not know if I can get this to work at all.
[23:42] <trickysse> will try that, thanks
[23:42] <donkeyinspace> Average_Guy , have you tried usbmodeswitch ?
[23:42] <lewis_>  Is there a program that i can install to download and install drivers
[23:42] <abstrakt> naryfa yeah you need to learn C first
[23:43] <shcherbak> llua: Hm
[23:43] <Average_Guy> what does that do?
[23:43] <Average_Guy> I ran lspci
[23:43] <llua> @shcherbak,?
[23:43] <Average_Guy> is a broadcom bcm4312
[23:43] <escott> hoss, you can be lazy and wait a few months/offer to loan your laptop to a developer for a day
[23:44] <hoss> escott, on the AUD_IN am I looking for the information under Connection List?
[23:44] <Average_Guy> I THINK I have the nessessary tarballs sitting in my home folder now
[23:45] <donkeyinspace> Average_Guy , (im totally rookie) what s youre ubuntu release?
[23:45] <slakar> Scherbak can I ask u to do 1 ting for me
[23:45] <shcherbak> llua: Though you got blink from ^^^, love plessing L
[23:45] <Average_Guy> 10.04
[23:46] <Average_Guy> downloaded b43-fwcutter_012.orig.tar from launchpad and hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_38.tar from broadcom
[23:47] <donkeyinspace> Average_Guy , i guess you tried to create a connection in the panel bar?
[23:47] <escott> hoss, in the PIN Caps there will be capabilities that can help identify what the PIN is, when you find something you think might be your mic hook it up with the AUD_SEL and test if your mic is getting sound
[23:47] <Average_Guy> no
[23:47] <Average_Guy> I have no internet
[23:47] <slakar> I have the movie in /var/www/..../....
[23:47] <Average_Guy> I connect on a public network
[23:47] <escott> hoss, but yes the AUD_IN connects to an AUD_SEL which selects from a PIN
[23:47] <slakar> Will apache see it
[23:48] <s0ap> how can you install software that isn't in a repo from the terminal?
[23:49] <david23123> My ubuntu is messed up, my mouse doesn't work any more and the keyboard is broken. I had to do ALT+SysRq+R and ALT+SysRq+E to get the keyboard to work, I installed centerim to get on this channel. What do I do ?
[23:49] <donkeyinspace> Average_Guy , using edit connections in panel bar doesnt worked?
[23:49] <Average_Guy> no, I need the restricted drivers. wireless no worky at all
[23:50] <donkeyinspace> Average_Guy , using edit connections in panel bar didn t work?
[23:50] <lewis_>  Is there a program that i can install to download and install drivers
[23:50] <alad_o> Shcherbak, you told me earlier how to reset gdm, my irc client crashed and i lost what you said, could you repeat it. I was the one with the auto-password/encrypted home dir problem
[23:50] <TLF> hello there
[23:50] <TLF> using a nvidia integrated sound card, I heard a weird sound if using the back panel, but sound is correct when using the front panel, can anyone help me??
[23:50] <tjiggi_fo> s0ap, what is it you want to install?
[23:50] <s0ap> vlc share
[23:50] <donkeyinspace> Average_Guy , sorry i can t help you
[23:50] <kushal3> hi, I reinstalled maverick and for some reason nautilus cannot create my home directory. Can someone help me with it please?
[23:50] <Average_Guy> I am in windows now it is the only way i can currently connect
[23:50] <tjiggi_fo> s0ap, one sec
[23:51] <Average_Guy> it's coo.. been askink ppl all day. noone knows
[23:51] <escott> Average_Guy, [this may be obvious] if you have a physical ethernet connection you could try enabling connection sharing on the windows machine, and then running a patch cable between the two
[23:52] <slakar> Now d dam file lookin at sometin far dint exist
[23:52] <Average_Guy> oh i've installed it in the past with a physical connection and it grabbed the drivers no prob
[23:52] <tjiggi_fo> s0ap, http://code.google.com/p/vlc-shares/wiki/InstallationLinux
[23:52] <s0ap> thanks
[23:53] <lewis_>  Is there a program that i can install to download and install drivers
[23:53] <Solar_Energy> HI
[23:53] <Solar_Energy> first ubuntu installation
[23:53] <Solar_Energy> it breaks up
[23:53] <soreau> lewis_: What driver are you wanting to install?
[23:53] <Solar_Energy> 2nd time
[23:53] <Solar_Energy> no "next"
[23:53] <tjiggi_fo> lewis_, not really, if drivers don't come fr
[23:53] <hoss> escott, I tried changing the Active Connection on my AUD_IN Mic device to Node [0x12] PIN as this was the only PIN with the name Input.  I also installde gnome-alsa-mixer about an hour ago and this has completely greyed out the input option in Sound Preferences... maybe I should uninstall it?
[23:54] <tjiggi_fo> lewis_, not really, if drivers don't come from the kernel modules, or the manufacturers then they must be built from source code
[23:54] <soreau> Solar_Energy: What version of ubuntu are you trying to install?
[23:54] <soreau> tjiggi_fo: There is always jockey
[23:54] <Solar_Energy> I think 10.4
[23:54] <Solar_Energy> it says
[23:55] <Solar_Energy> "Failed to initiate AP scan"
[23:55] <lewis_> soreau: trying to get trident drivers for my graphics
[23:55] <soreau> Solar_Energy: What is telling you that?
[23:55] <soreau> lewis_: Ah, hm
[23:55] <saml> hey, compiz hangs from time to time freezing up screen for seconds.   is there an easy way to temporarily disable/enable compiz
[23:55] <tjiggi_fo> soreau, oh yes - well
[23:55] <Solar_Energy> the installation bar
[23:55] <saml> is it  compiz --replace ?
[23:55] <Solar_Energy> "ready, when you are"
[23:55] <soreau> lewis_: What is the output of lspci|grep VGA ?
[23:56] <soreau> saml: Sure, metacity --replace to disable it and compiz --replace to enable it
[23:57] <saml> soreau, thanks. do you background it?   compiz --replace &
[23:57] <escott> hoss, I doubt gnome-alsa-mixer is the problem, but you can also try the alsamixer command line tool. 0x12 may not be the right PIN.
[23:57] <lewis_> Soreau: yes i can only get 800x600 resulation
[23:57] <soreau> saml: If you arent running it from Alt+F2 run dialog, append & disown
[23:57] <soreau> lewis_: What is the output of lspci|grep VGA ?
[23:57] <saml> soreau, thanks
[23:58] <hoss> escott, cool.. I will mess around with it, thanks.
[23:58] <lewis_> soreau: forgive me i am new do i past this in termanel??
[23:58] <soreau> lewis_: Yes
