[20:37] <Traintop> No-Nick-Name: is your webcam supported by your kernel? e.g. can you use it with vlc or mplayer as input?
[20:37] <lucid_j_> hi!

[20:38] <MichaelDobrovits> hans_, you have programs that use incremental algorithems to check the diffrence between the drives and to auto complete the data without recoping the entire hdd
[20:39] <lucid_j_> Could anyone suggest me a multimedia player with a small lcd intergrated and connection with large external disk capability?
[20:39] <Traintop> No-Nick-Name: if you cannot use the webcam via the v4l2-interface I suppose it wont work in any application :-(
[20:39] <toby> hello guys.. i finally got my cocktrice program to work... sadly i had to resort to using wine instead of compile and run naturally. the only issue i have i dont think is with wine itsself just me being dumb when it comes to Gnome or just Linux all together the program has a chat box in the bottom right hand corner when i am playing games but when i play a game that chat box is hidden because the window doesnt fit properly to my screen whe
[20:39] <toby> n i try to resize the window it doesnt "resize it" i guess i cannot explain what it does
[20:39] <No-Nick-Name> Traintop, i can't view webcam i receive message ...ent you a webcam invite, which is not yet supported.
[20:40] <ivorensis> I tested how many workspaces I can have at one time. Ubuntu kind of crashed at about 15 workspaces. Now for example alt + tab doesn't work and changing workspaces with ctrl + alt + left/right still works, but doesn't look like it's supposed to. Anybody know what's the problem?

[20:41] <Licuadora> Hello. In aN USB memory stick FAT formated, they ask me to put the Bios files in a root directory of the stick, How do you become root in a USB memory stick?
[20:41] <Traintop> No-Nick-Name: I don't know "pidgin", but as far as my knowledge about linux (and ubuntu) will tell me: if the kernel does not support the webcam, no app can use it...
[20:41] <nishant> Kerne Scheduler takes up 32% of power !
[20:42] <v3ctor> hans_: you could look into backula or amanda. not sure if they would meet your needs but you could check them out

[20:42] <jck> I get better ubuntu support at gsick anyway
[20:42] <MichaelDobrovits> v3ctor, what's wrong with rsync?
[20:42] <Traintop> but besides: -any ideas how to "splice" one 5.1-soundcard in e.g. 2 stereo-ones; so I could play webradio on my hifi and listen to teamspeak on my earphone... ???
[20:42] <Roasted_> How can I set it so ALL users default to /bin/bash for the default shell?

[20:44] <dinexi> Hello. I am using Ubuntu 10.10. In both amd64 and i386 versions I see a strange bug: polkitd grows and grows in memory. After each scan of config dirs it weights more and more. It grows not very fast but it is annoying because I'm doing nothing at all. Why it is so? The version of policykit-1 is 0.96-2ubuntu1.

[20:47] <Traintop> No-Nick-Name: you could try several "messangers", but I would bet they also "don't support" your webcam if your kernel doesn't...
[20:47] <lucid_j_> How could I give an answer on someone on this channel with  mine and his name specified at the beggining of the line?

[20:55] <Alphanaut> if i go to remove cups from the package mgr it says it's going to remove about 30 other packages, some of which i use

[20:55] <Alphanaut> i just want to disable the cupsd service from starting on startup

[21:01] <MichaelDobrovits> Conexion, did you chose the correct output in pulse settings ?
[21:01] <Conexion> MichaelDobrovits: http://pastebin.com/kpLxfL8G
[21:01] <Conexion> I believe so
[21:02] <MichaelDobrovits> Conexion, do you use pulseaudio?
[21:02] <Alphanaut> hmm looks like there use to be a system/administration/services option that no longer exists
[21:02] <Alphanaut> anyone know of a gui that we can tweak services with?
[21:03] <noneaan> when i enabled file sharing it auto installed the smbc setup, but its not working, how can i unistall these packages it installed and try again ?
[21:03] <Conexion> I don't believe so MichaelDobrovits - I've just installed Ubuntu the other day. Haven't had this issue with a computer before though
[21:03] <azertyy> hello there
[21:03] <MichaelDobrovits> noneaan, why do you think samba doesn't work?
[21:03] <Conexion> Though I've used Ubuntu for a good amount of time
[21:04] <noneaan> my laptops shared folders isnt showing up on my desktop
[21:04] <noneaan> desktop shared folders show up on my laptop
[21:04] <azertyy> i made a small mistake on my system : i just done chmod -R 777 / with chown -R root:root /
[21:04] <MichaelDobrovits> Conexion, so why you reinstalled?
[21:04] <noneaan> i have reviewed my smb.conf and restared the service
[21:04] <azertyy> can i leave my system like that ?
[21:04] <Conexion> When I try running "Pulseaudio" it says Daemon already running MichaelDobrovits
[21:04] <noneaan> i can access the url  ... smb:://ip/share  .. that works
[21:04] <drobole> Conexion: I reinstalled yesterday and the sound was fixed by installing pulseaudio. Not sure why really. It could be anything...
[21:04] <joeb_> nvm i found a thread and its fixed
[21:04] <noneaan> its just not showing up in the network folders
[21:05] <Conexion> I was reformatting my computer, first installing Windows 7 and then Ubuntu
[21:05] <Conexion> Well someone told me to do install pulseaudio earlier, should I restart my computer or should it work right away?
[21:05] <MichaelDobrovits> Conexion, i don't use pulse so i can't helpl with that. alsa-lib works just fine by itself
[21:05] <caulkz> another dual-booter :D
[21:05] <Conexion> Yup :p
[21:05] <Conexion> Alsa-Lib I believe is what I was using before and it didn't work @_@
[21:06] <drobole> Have you tried the sound with a media player? not just streaming audio?
[21:06] <Alphanaut> whats wrong witha  dual booter? :)
[21:06] <caulkz> win7 pro x64 and Ubuntu Maverick meerkat x64 :D
[21:06] <MichaelDobrovits> Conexion, the cards work as we see in aplay -l, it's somwhat a pulse configuration issue or pulse doesn't recognizes your sound card or external dac
[21:06] <noneaan> MichaelDobrovits, any ideas

[21:12] <corinth> Hey #ubuntu. How do I get my Firefox launcher in Unity to point to the Firefox 4 beta I have, instead of 3.x?
[21:13]  * Tekku Hello Everyone
[21:13] <v3ctor> corinth: i am not familiar with unity, can you right click and change the path?
[21:14] <corinth> v3ctor, sadly not.
[21:14] <corinth> I've even tried editing the Firefox menu item in alacarte, but to no avail.
[21:14] <BluesKaj> corinth, FF4 isn't ready for primetime
[21:14] <GeekyAdam> corinth: once you edit the firefox menu item, does clicking the firefox menu item launch the beta or the old one?
[21:15] <corinth> BluesKaj, I don't care. :-P I've been using it for a while, this isn't a production-critical machine, and I'm familiar with the bugs in it. :-)
[21:15] <corinth> GeekyAdam, the "old" one (stable release)
[21:16] <v3ctor> corinth: maybe this might help http://askubuntu.com/questions/13758/how-can-i-edit-create-new-launcher-items-in-unity
[21:17] <BluesKaj> corinth, ok , fair enuff
[21:17] <corinth> BluesKaj, :-)
[21:17] <weather_dude> Can I disable "source code" option in Software Sources'
[21:17] <weather_dude> why would I want that?
[21:17] <smerz> weather_dude, yeah i think should be no problem
[21:18] <smerz> if you get source packages to compile something (from sourcE)
[21:18] <weather_dude> hm k useless for me
[21:18] <smerz> i.e. packages that are not in the repository
[21:18] <smerz> but need dependencies (source of other packages)
[21:18] <erkan^> !bazaar
[21:19] <meera> makes it sence to put linux on windows xp, or is it better to put mc xp on linux?
[21:19] <erkan^> !bzr
[21:19] <smerz> meera, either makes sense,
[21:19] <weather_dude> meera: create a partition for linux, it's faster
[21:19] <histo> meera: if you are trying to dual boot. You install windows first
[21:19] <Jordan_U> smerz: You rarely need source packages as dependencies for building from source. Source packages are generally used to compile the package itself yourself with a specific patch.
[21:19] <histo> meera: then install linux
[21:19] <ubuntu__> what is the header and footer for a .tar.gz file? I need to get them for carving (undeletion) using scalpel.
[21:19] <histo> !dualboot | meera
[21:19] <smerz> Jordan_U, yeah you are right. hehe :) My wording wasn't 100%
[21:19] <histo> ubuntu__: you can look at one in a hex editor and see
[21:19] <weather_dude> Jordan_U: I just install apps automatically so I dont need it right
[21:20] <histo> ubuntu__: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(file_format)
[21:20] <Jordan_U> weather_dude: Correct.
[21:20] <weather_dude> smerz: if I compile ie ZNC from source
[21:20] <weather_dude> I dont need that anyway
[21:20] <histo> ubuntu__: the first 512byte block
[21:21] <ubuntu__> histo: is it the same header, if it is gzipped?
[21:21] <figure002> how do i send stdout from a command (e.g. ls) to the stdin of another app? a tried "app < ls", but it doesn't work.
[21:21] <smerz> figure002, with the pipe " | "
[21:21] <Jordan_U> figure002: ls | other_command
[21:21] <figure002> ah ok, thanks
[21:21] <Jordan_U> figure002: But it should almost never actually be used with "ls".
[21:21] <histo> ubuntu__: sounds like gzip headers would find them
[21:22] <Cataclysm> I used "psql SHOW VERSION();" and it brought up a window inthe command line with version info. that's great but how do i get out of thee window without closing psql? i know ctrl+z will exit but it also exits psql
[21:22] <histo> ubuntu__: I would make a gzipped file and then pull the header and footer and use that to search
[21:22] <ubuntu__> histo: so Im looking for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip#File_format
[21:22] <figure002> Jordan_U: i need to send a list of files to some command
[21:22] <weather_dude> Jordan_U: so that is only needed if I want to download those apps and install them manually (using the source packages) right?
[21:23] <histo> ubuntu__: that's how I would approach it
[21:23] <Jordan_U> figure002: What command? What is your end goal?
[21:23] <Guest13290> Hello
[21:23] <ubuntu__> histo: how can I determine how long the header and how long the footer is? I already started experiments but am unsure
[21:23] <Guest13290> I need help
[21:23] <Alphanaut> odd, sudo update-rc.d -f cups remove didn't actually stop the service from running the next time..
[21:23] <GeekyAdam> hi all. having problems with an smbfs mount in fstab. if the share name has a space in it, is this the right syntax: //ip.of.server.machine/share\ name
[21:23] <histo> ubuntu__: well it sounds liek the header and footer change related to the file. So you can only search for those parts of it that don't change.
[21:23] <Guest13290> How can I turn on shadow passwords?
[21:23] <figure002> Jordan_U: the command is 'wallpaper', it returns a list of files which are suitable as wallpaper.
[21:24] <histo> ubuntu__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery this has a section about gzip
[21:24] <ubuntu__> histo what remains invariant? The extension .tar.gz and nothing else?
[21:24] <Cataclysm> anyone know how to exit out of a command line edit-thing? ctrl+z will take me out of my psql login so  icant use that
[21:24] <drobole> Alphanaut: strange, maybe the sym links are recreated by some service
[21:24] <Alphanaut> gad
[21:24] <histo> ubuntu__: there is a section about magicrescue
[21:24] <llutz> GeekyAdam: "\040" for space like, "this\040mountpoint\040has\040spaces"
[21:24] <Jordan_U> figure002: What is the *end* goal? Is wallpaper a command you wrote yourself?
[21:25] <GeekyAdam> llutz: will try thx
[21:25] <Fjodor> Guest13290: It should be enablded by default
[21:25] <histo> ubuntu__: sudo magicrescue -r gzip -d ~/output /dev/sdx#
[21:25] <ubuntu__> thanks histo, Ill have a try
[21:25] <arand> Cataclysm: exit quit ctrl+d :q! q ?
[21:25] <maedox> Cataclysm: could it be 'less'? try hitting just q or :q.
[21:25] <enterneo> I have machine with eth0 (public ipv4) and eth1(private ipv6) addresses, eth0 is connected to the internet, when I do an apt-get, I see it tries to instantiate connection to ipv6 variant of the host and fails, how can I specify which interface to use, when doing apt-get?
[21:25] <figure002> Jordan_U: nope, it's in the ubuntu repo; the end goal is to know which files are suitable as wallpapers.
[21:26] <Guest13290> Because I tried to adduser and it tells me that only root may add a user etc
[21:26] <histo> ubuntu__: or if you look in the /etc/scapel/scalpel.conf you may find gzip already defined
[21:26] <Cataclysm> q worked
[21:26] <Cataclysm> thanks gentle mans
[21:26] <GeekyAdam> llutz: that did it thx much ^_^
[21:27] <Magri> ciao
[21:27] <ubuntu__> histo: its not defined.
[21:27] <histo> ubuntu__: i'm installing scalpel now to check
[21:27] <Alphanaut> out of curiosity what are the trailing numbers: update-rc.d bluetooth start 25 2 3 4 5 . stop 74 0 1 6 .
[21:27] <Magri> !list
[21:27] <Fjodor> !it | Magri
[21:27] <histo> ubuntu__: I would suggest using magic rescue then maybe
[21:28] <Magri> !list
[21:28] <corinth> v3ctor, trying that now. I think it'll work - thanks!
[21:28] <Guest13290> how can I add user with a password via termial?
[21:29] <llutz> Guest13290: sudo adduser <user>
[21:29] <Jordan_U> figure002: wallpaper doesn't appear to accept filenames on stdin.
[21:29] <Hezinho> ubuntu 10.10. always mute after restart ??????
[21:29] <v3ctor> useradd or adduser
[21:29] <Fjodor> Guest13290: man useradd
[21:29] <Hezinho> how do i fix it ?
[21:29] <histo> Guest13290: i'd use adduser
[21:29] <Magri> !list
[21:30] <histo> Guest13290: it will prompt you for information
[21:30] <histo> Guest13290: sudo adduser
[21:30] <figure002> Jordan_U: it accepts filenames as arguments, that's not the same as stdin?
[21:30] <inckie> http://rt.com/news/us-libya-saudi-weapons/ maybe war soon :(
[21:30] <Hezinho> how can i fix auto mute on ubuntu 10.10 , anyone please ?
[21:30] <Guest13290> only one or two names allowed?
[21:31] <manon> Hello
[21:31] <histo> Guest13290: for login you use one name . You can specify the persons full name later on
[21:32] <Guest13290> can somebody privite chat me?
[21:32] <Hezinho> does anyone know how to fix auto-mute after restart (ubuntu 10.10) ?
[21:32] <manon> No sorry :/
[21:32] <Hezinho> thank you
[21:32] <Jordan_U> figure002: No, it's not. Arguments are normally specified after the command name, like "wallpaper /path/to/foo.png", and must be specified before the command is even executed. stdin, by default, is input from the keyboard which can be given while the program is running.
[21:33] <Guest13290> I need help, its for my Linux class...
[21:34] <figure002> Jordan_U: oh i see; thanks for the explanation
[21:34] <Alphanaut> soo anyway is there an easy way to configure services thru a gui?
[21:34] <Alphanaut> or is it all command line
[21:34] <Alphanaut> the command line doesnt seem to be working for me anyways
[21:35] <Jordan_U> figure002: You're welcome. I'm not sure how usefull this script will be though, it doesn't think that the default desktop background for Ubuntu 10.10 is a wallpaper.
[21:35] <semitones> Ok, long question: My laptop has a love-hate relationship with suspend. It always suspends, but sometimes it wakes up, and it doesn't and I have to hard reboot. Are there any logs I could be looking at to find out why it doesn't work sometimes? Any other things I could do?
[21:35] <BluesKaj> Alphanaut, which services?
[21:35] <Alphanaut> cups
[21:35] <Alphanaut> sudo update-rc.d -f cups remove did nothing
 does anyone know how to fix auto-mute after restart (ubuntu 10.10) ?
[21:36] <Jordan_U> figure002: You still haven't told me your end goal. What is it that you hope to accomplish?
[21:37] <e1034946> I am new to Ubuntu and decided to install Ubuntu to my USB drive which completely changed my drive.  I've tried writing to the disk as I have done in the past (e.g., tar -cv test.txt > /dev/fd0) but it doesn't work. I've verified that the BIOS is set up right, and I get an error message if I put a disk in on boot, but is there a module I have to load?

[21:38] <stupidnoob> hey guys quick question, has anyone gotten ubuntu to recognize the webcam and work with tinychat properly?
[21:38] <arand> e1034946: Are you also trying to recover files from before the installation?
[21:38] <e1034946> Yes, my original files are still on the drive?
[21:39] <velociostrich> Just found out that there is a module for floppy disks and it is loaded...
[21:39] <arand> e1034946: Most of them are likely overwritten I'm afraid, if you specified that ubuntu should use the whole stick
[21:39] <figure002> Jordan_U: ohh u mean the end end goal. i'm writing a little python script which sets wallpapers for the gnome desktop. i was thinking about an extra feature which only picks images that are close enough to a wallpaper (e.g. ignore pics with portrait ratio).
[21:39] <No-Nick-Name> please help me sort out Audio / Video problem in Empathy yahoo?
[21:40] <gilles> hi is there a way to have start up applications assigned to one workspace on boot up ?
[21:40] <arand> e1034946: There are tools which may extract bits and pieces of it, e.g. the tesdisk tools, photorec in particular
[21:41] <velociostrich> Nevermind, I got my floppy disk working. Strangely, I can't seem to use tar directly on it though...

[21:41] <v3ctor> No-Nick-Name: were you able to get your webcam working?
[21:41] <e1034946> Arand: My files that were on the drive are still there and I can access them. Am I going to have to move them off the drive. format the drive, then put them back on?
[21:41] <No-Nick-Name> v3ctor, i dont have webcam
 hi is there a way to have start up applications assigned to one workspace on boot up ?
[21:41] <No-Nick-Name> i want to view webcam of my friend
[21:43] <No-Nick-Name> no reply of my question why is that so :(
[21:43] <Alphanaut> drobole: no, i have nothing related to printing under system startup
[21:43] <Alphanaut> they are all unticked
[21:43] <Arcidias> No-nick-name, what program do you use? If none, try skype
[21:43] <Alphanaut> though that cups port 631 remains listening
[21:43] <Alphanaut> i'm trying to shut it down
[21:44] <No-Nick-Name> Arcidias, i use yahoo ?
 hi is there a way to have start up applications assigned to one workspace on boot up ?
[21:44] <arand> e1034946: Ah right, for the reformatting you can either use gparted and create one big fat32 partition on it, or just use msWin and select the format option in explorer
[21:44] <No-Nick-Name> does it not support webcam viewing?
[21:44] <Hezinho> does anyone know how to fix auto-mute after restart (ubuntu 10.10) ?
[21:45] <figure002> Jordan_U: did you copy?
 hi is there a way to have start up applications assigned to one workspace on boot up ?
[21:45] <Jordan_U> figure002: Yes.
[21:45] <arand> e1034946: You could possibly just delete and resize the fat parition, but if possible I think it is better to move things off and then back again, what kind of size is this usb drive?
[21:45] <e1034946> Thanks Arand! Have a good day!
[21:46] <Tewr> I'm trying to use wpa_supplicant to connect to my wifi, like in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136 . I get "Operation not possible due to RF-Kill". how can I enable the radio?
[21:46] <arand> e1034946: *delete the ubuntu partition and resize the fat32... I meant to say
[21:46] <e1034946> ok
[21:48] <velociostrich> Anyone know how to create a grub2 boot floppy? My google-fu on this has been weak. I've tried grub-mkrescue, but it outputs a 5MB image, which is too large.
[21:48] <drobole> Alphanaut: strange
[21:48] <oem> how do i edit environment variables? is there a configuration file somewhere?
[21:48] <semitones> Ok, long question: My laptop has a love-hate relationship with suspend. It always suspends, but sometimes it wakes up, and it doesn't and I have to hard reboot. Are there any logs I could be looking at to find out why it doesn't work sometimes? Any other things I could do?
[21:48] <velociostrich> semitones: dmesg maybe?
[21:49] <arand> oem: export VARIABLE=foo ?
[21:49] <arand> oem
[21:49] <velociostrich> arand: he quit
[21:49] <karla> velociostrich, grub-install
[21:49] <semitones> hmm good idear
[21:50] <semitones> thanks velociostrich
[21:50] <velociostrich> karla: ohhhhhhh, didn't even think of looking into that (I don't know much about Grub, especially Grub 2). Thanks for the tip
[21:50] <tripelb> how can I search a pdf for a word. I'm certain I've seen that.
[21:50] <karla> velociostrich, yep you'll want to pick which --modules you want otherwise you'll run out of space again
[21:50] <Jordan_U> figure002: You should probably use wallpaper one file at a time, calling the command from python directly. Make sure to pass explicit values for the desired aspect ratio and other values as the defaults of the script probably won't match the needs of many users and should be configurable.
[21:51] <velociostrich> karla: Will do!
[21:52] <v3ctor> tripelb: try /<what your are searching for> or crtl-f
[21:52] <tripelb> I want to search http://natural-immunogenics.com/pdf/Argentyn23_brochure.pdf for the word micron
[21:52] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: You can use the pre-made super grub2 disk image, which was made with grub-mkrescue but is small enough to fit on a floppy. Grub 1.99 will be more difficult to get to fit on a floppy but I'll try (the latest Super GRUB2 Disk is based on 1.98).
[21:53] <figure002> Jordan_U: you are right; i was already playing around with the settings to get the right result.
[21:53] <tripelb> v3ctor: oh you werent asking me what. OK I do not understand your answer. ---  I want to search http://natural-immunogenics.com/pdf/Argentyn23_brochure.pdf for the word micron
[21:53] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: Why are you using a floppy drive in 2011 out of curiosity?
[21:53] <v3ctor> type /micron
[21:54] <shaghost> tripelb: less (pdf file here) | grep (text here to search for)
[21:54] <v3ctor> tripelb: crtl-f will likely open a search text box
[21:54] <geemee> OK So I have upgraded to 11.4 and I want to install f.lux
[21:54] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: The hardware is *ancient* and it's all I've got (tight budget)
[21:54] <veilig_abt> I just installed a 2nd video card and all its showing is the ubuntu bootscreen.  I've run the cmd to reconfigure my xorg, is there anything else I need to do to make it start showing my desktop?
[21:55] <geemee> However I am getting a 404 when trying apt-get... Can I browse the ppa and fine the deb installer file?
[21:55] <karla> Jordan_U, the other day i had to boot a 486 with a damaged boot sector..
[21:55] <geemee> I presume I am getting the 404 since it is looking for natty?
[21:55] <karla> Or it may have  been the bios that's incompatible with the drive, anyway it mounts fine after the boot from the floppy
[21:55] <karla> and no El Torito
[21:56] <volvering> hello anyone can help me to share an folder on ubuntu red ( 2 ubuntu pc)
[21:56] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: How can I find out what modules I need/are available for grub?
[21:56] <tripelb> I am using pidgin -- how can I get it so a line with my nick in it comes up highlighted in some way !!!
[21:56] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: What are you trying to accomplish?
[21:57] <karla> velociostrich, look under /usr/lib/grub/
[21:57] <tripelb> v3ctor thanks
[21:58] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: karla was misunderstanding what the --modules option does. It simply adds additional modules to the core.img, it doesn't limit what modules are copied to /boot (all modules are always copied by grub-install).
[21:58] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: I've got Ubuntu 10.04.2 server running on an older machine that I'm trying to get to boot off of a Compact Flash card that's hooked up with an IDE adapter. The installation went smoothly, but it won't boot, so right now I'm on that machine from a hard drive install
[21:58] <karla> Jordan_U, ah
[21:59] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: The CF adapter, btw, makes the hardware think that it's dealing with a hard drive. I can even chroot to it, but for some reason I can't boot off of it
[21:59] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: What happens when you try to boot? Is the Flash Card reader / IDE adaptor listed as a boot device?
[21:59] <drobole> volvering: You can use samba. google it
[22:00] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: It is listed as a device in the BIOS; it gets to GRUB2 which then throws an error. iirc the error was to the effect of "you must load the kernel first"
[22:00] <volvering> drobole, i did try on tutorial but i was not able
[22:00] <nicofs> I want to remotely control my other linux computer - how can i do that? (I need something like realVNC for linux)
[22:01] <velociostrich> nicofs: If you're comfortable with the command line, you can try SSH -- it's the quickest to get set up. Just install the openssh server on the machine you want to ssh into, then do ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[22:01] <velociostrich> nicofs: That is, do that command on the machine that you're using to connect to the other (server) machine with
[22:02] <nicofs> velociostrich, no - i want to control the pc that is connected to my media center and control the desktop environment there... laptop@lap as remote for the big screen...
[22:02] <drobole> volvering: hmm, the samba config can be a bit picky, the computers host names and folder permissions must match etc...
[22:02] <bin_bash> When i wget an image, where does it save to?
[22:03] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: Can you try loading the kernel and initrd from the grub shell? You can just execute the commands that are in the menu entry. We need to find which command is failing and why, that specific error just means that the "linux" command failed to load the kernel for some reason but doesn't tell us why.
[22:03] <velociostrich> nicofs: Hmmm... I know there is software for that purpose but I've never used it... I think Gnome may even have remote desktop software installed by default
[22:03] <Jordan_U> bin_bash: The current directory unless you specify "-O" and a different path.
[22:03] <bin_bash> ok
[22:03] <volvering> drobole, yes i see i ll try another day.. thank u
[22:04] <drobole> sure
[22:04] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: I'll give that a try, but which configuration file is it that contains the commands to boot? Is it /etc/default/grub or one of those 10_linux files? (I haven't had the need to mess with GRUB in a while)
[22:04] <nicofs> velociostrich, i installed "vino" as suggested by the hotwo (ubuntu wiki somewhere) and it is supposed to appear somewhere in settings - but it doesn't... i managed to set up tightvnc - but that's not what i need...
[22:04] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[22:04] <holmser> I'm having an issue setting up a home VPN with IPSec and openswan.  Does anyone have any experience with this topic?
[22:05] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: Thanks, I'll try that now. I'll have to bust out my laptop so I can work on both machines at once though
[22:05] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: You're welcome.
[22:05] <velociostrich> nicofs: I'm sorry, but I don't know enough about remote desktop to be of help, though I'm sure someone else in this channel does
[22:06] <vas32> hi all
[22:07] <vas32> :)
[22:07] <marTech> ho
[22:08] <sougata> How can I get kernel object files ?
[22:09] <drobole> what do you mean?
[22:10] <th0r> sougata: object files are created by the compiler when you compile the source code
[22:10] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[22:10] <karla> sougata, please elaborate, are you talking about kernel modules?
[22:11] <sougata> th0r, I mean I want to get lucid kernel object files , so that I can lick the module that I ahve written
[22:11] <sougata> *link
[22:12] <th0r> sougata: If I understand the process correctly, you need to add the source for your module to the source for the kernel, then compile the whole thing.
[22:13] <drobole> unless you compile your module as a separate object and load it dynamically
[22:13] <sougata> th0r, I just wanted to avoid building the kernel from source
[22:13] <azertyy> hello
[22:13] <azertyy> anyone can clarify me ?
[22:14] <ErrNick> hi, can I watch the Tvtime via SSH?
[22:14] <azertyy> i got a big problem with files and permission
[22:14] <nicofs> Anyone know how to remote control another desktop?
[22:14] <th0r> ErrNick: if Tvtime is a linux package, you should be able to run it using X-forwarding via ssh
[22:14] <azertyy> i host website on my server i have to chmod -R 777 to able to display the webpage  what could be wrong ?
[22:15] <azertyy> otherwise not working
[22:15] <th0r> nicofs: a windows box or a linux box?
[22:15] <ErrNick> th0r: I tried it, but it has a problem
[22:15] <vas32> use sudo
[22:15] <drobole> sougata: you can do that. basically compile your code to a .o file and load it with the insmod or modprobe command
[22:15] <ErrNick> th0r: I just wondering is it possible
[22:16] <azertyy> hello
[22:16] <azertyy> is that dead here or what ?
[22:16] <vas32> X_x
[22:16] <azertyy> i host website on my ubuntu server i have to chmod -R 777 to able to display the webpage  what could be wrong ?
[22:16] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: I'll be AFK for about half an hour, but I'm comming back.
[22:16] <jdeslaur> anyone know if i can take a HDD thats ntfs formatted and read it in ubuntu
[22:16] <th0r> jdeslaur: yes, you can
[22:16] <azertyy> otherwise not working, what could be wrong ?
[22:16] <nicofs> th0r, all plain linux
[22:17] <holmser> azertyy, you don't want 777.  That will make the files writable by anyone viewing the website
[22:17] <ivorensis> Is it possible to startup applications in a specific workspace?
[22:17] <th0r> nicofs: then vnc is your best bet unless you want to explore NX or X-forwarding
[22:17] <BluesKaj> jdeslaur, yes
[22:17] <azertyy> okay what i have to do ? holmser
[22:17] <sougata> drobole, thank you .
[22:17] <drobole> azertyy: hard to say, i guess apache doesn't have ownership or permissions enough to handle your files
[22:17] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: that's excellent timing, 'cause I have to go AFK too
[22:17] <holmser> have you tried 755?
[22:17] <drobole> yw
[22:18] <azertyy> is there any user linked with apache ?
[22:18] <azertyy> that i have to assign for my webpage ?
[22:18] <Omen_20> hello
[22:18] <drobole> i think so, not an expert but i think apache is running as some user (not root)
[22:18] <sre-su> O_0
[22:18] <holmser> azertyy, check what group the files are associated with.  should be www-data I believe
[22:18] <genii-around> azertyy: Usually www-data
[22:19] <azertyy> how to check i don't know ?
[22:19] <holmser> ls -l
[22:19] <azertyy> with ls -l  /folder i got owned by root
[22:20] <azertyy> that's what i said before
[22:20] <azertyy> i also try to reinstall apache but nothing changes
[22:20] <holmser> azertyy, try chown -R www-data yourfolder
[22:22] <ivorensis> Is it possible to startup applications in a specific workspace?
[22:22] <azertyy> now it owned by www-data by if i go to the page
[22:22] <azertyy> it says forbidden
[22:22] <holmser> hmm
[22:22] <azertyy> You don't have permission to access / on this server.
[22:22] <holmser> k
[22:22] <drobole> isn't apache picky about where the folder is?
[22:22] <holmser> let me check my settings
[22:22] <drobole> must be under /var/www or something
[22:23] <lucid_j> hi again!
[22:24] <holmser> azertyy, are you using /var/www as your folder?
[22:24] <jdeslaur> th0r: do i have to mount it first? i did ls /dev/disk/by-id -lah and the drive wasnt there
[22:24] <jgcampbell300> hello
[22:25] <azertyy> yes holmser
[22:25] <jgcampbell300> I am looking for two solutions involving playing world of warcraft on ubuntu ... 1st i can not hold alt and right click ... it always opens up a ubuntu box ... not sure what i can do about that ...
[22:26] <overclucker> azertyy: ps -eo pid,user,comm | grep apache
[22:26] <[deXter]> jgcampbell300: You'll have to go into the window manager settings and change the ALT key to something else
[22:26] <[deXter]> jgcampbell300: System - Preferences - Windows
[22:26] <jgcampbell300> [deXter], cool that sounds easy enough ... thanks
[22:27] <[deXter]> jgcampbell300: then change the Alt to "Super" ie windows logo
[22:27] <azertyy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/577212/ overclucker
[22:28] <jgcampbell300> 2nd issue is a bit more complex ... I am trying to find a way that i could maybe do a wget to download addons from multi sites and install them under a specific dir
[22:28] <odigem> hello
[22:28] <odigem> what to rc-update in ubuntu?
[22:28] <[deXter]> jgcampbell300: Just write a script? What sort of addons are we talking about?
[22:28] <brontoeee> drobole, default one host setup is /var/www, but nothing wrong with /home/user/public_html/site1.com either
[22:28] <jdeslaur> do i have to mount a HDD before it will show up in /dev/disk/
[22:29] <drobole> ok
[22:29] <overclucker> azertyy: try chowning as user asterisk
[22:29] <jgcampbell300> just normal addons that alot of people use while playing wow ... like bagon, auctioneer, auctionator, etc
[22:29] <brontoeee> drobole, i just finnished this http://likesalmon.net/how-to-configure-apache-virtual-hosting-in-ubuntu-karmic-9-10/ to get two domains working
[22:29] <brontoeee> (just an example)
[22:29] <jgcampbell300> just an easyer way of updating basicly with out haveing to go throu curses client i dont trust it
[22:30] <azertyy> ok let me check overclucker
[22:30] <tovella> My bluetooth mouse is able to automatically connect to my adaptor, but my headset requires me to pair each time I want to connect.  I'm using blueman bluetooth manager.  How can I make it so my headset automatically connects each time I turn it on?
[22:30] <drobole> brontoeee: nice =)
[22:30] <odigem> HELLO
[22:31] <azertyy> working now overclucker
[22:32] <azertyy> why it works with asterisk and not with www-data ?
[22:33] <vas32> ok bb all
[22:33] <vas32> :)
[22:33] <brontoeee> azertyy, chown -R www-data:www:data /var/www didnt work?
[22:33] <overclucker> azertyy: you can set apache's user and group in /etc/apache2/envvars, my guess is you have APACHE_RUN_USER=asterisk set
[22:33] <azertyy> no
[22:34] <azertyy> no if i do /etc/apache2/envars i got www-data
[22:34] <azertyy> and not apache
[22:34] <brontoeee> azertyy, you can find a php script that will echo : whoami, so you can be sure
[22:35] <tovella> How can I make my bluetooth headset automatically pair with my computer's adaptor?
[22:35] <brontoeee> azertyy, http://php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php
[22:35] <azertyy> no what i m asking is : how to change asterisk to www-data ?
[22:36] <azertyy> overclucker:
[22:36] <c0dege3k> Can anybody help me bridge my wifi and ethernet connections?
[22:37] <patrimatic> i just used sudo mv trigx.py /usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/my_modules to put python script file into a new directory but instead it created a text file named my_modules with the scripts contents.  Can anybody tell me what i did wrong and how to reverse it?
[22:37] <azertyy> i don't get this command : ps -eo pid,user,comm | grep apache
[22:37] <azertyy> it greps what ?
[22:38] <azertyy> apache with what ?
[22:38] <trism> patrimatic: the directory didn't exist, so it didn't know to create the directory, you need to mkdir /usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/my_modules; then copy (delete the my_modules file first)
[22:38] <drobole> ps shows all processes running. -eo pid,user,comm selects what info you want to se, and grep filters out only lines containing apache
[22:38] <overclucker> azertyy it matches the string apache
[22:40] <kpettit> Anybody trying the Ubuntu 11?  I'm using it and like it OK, but the new version of the "old desktop" has mac like windows which is really anoying for a dual screen computer.  Any ideas how to change it back to the the old way?
[22:40] <patrimatic> trism: is there a command that can undo what i did (and get my file back)?
[22:41] <corinth> Hey channel. What folder do .desktop files look for its icon in when a name is specified?
[22:41] <corinth> That is, under Icon=icon name
[22:41] <trism> patrimatic: yes, cp /usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/my_modules trigx.py; and it will be copied to your current directory
[22:41] <shentino> Why does my sound cut out when I switch to a virtual terminal I'm not logged into?
[22:42] <patrimatic> trism: thanks a million
[22:42] <c0dege3k> does ANYONE know how to bridge network connections?
[22:45] <patrimatic> how do you delete files in terminal?
[22:46] <jgcampbell300> rm file.name
[22:46] <joeb_> hi all

[22:48] <ipwnage> can anybody help?
[22:49] <azertyy> i don't know if you get my question ?
[22:49] <Jordan_U> AStyx: Not by default. Discussion of 11.04 in #ubuntu+1
[22:49] <overclucker> azertyy: to set the user and group of apache2 you need to change APACHE_RUN_USER and APACHE_RUN_GROUP in /etc/apache2/envvars
[22:49] <daniel> anyone having troubles with the flash plugin for chromium?
[22:50] <overclucker> azertyy: also, i wonder how you are starting and stopping apache, what command you are using.
[22:50] <AStyx> thx Jordan_U
[22:50] <daniel> anyone having troubles with the flash plugin for chromium?
[22:50] <Jordan_U> AStyx: You're welcome.
[22:50] <corinth> Where does a .desktop file look for an icon in in reference to the .desktop file line "Icon=icon name" ?
[22:50] <th0r> daniel: you need to be quicker, 30 seconds is too long to wait
[22:50] <azertyy> this the command : /etc/init.d/apache reload
[22:50] <corinth> Or, can I manually set a path?
[22:51] <azertyy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/577223/ here is the pastebin of my actual envars
[22:51] <velociostrich> back
[22:51] <ivorensis> How do you close the file and save your changes in devilspie?
[22:52] <daniel> th0r, if im to fast the bot will get at me :) but do  know how to get the flash player working?
[22:52] <azertyy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/577223/ here is the pastebin of my actual envars overclucker
[22:52] <azertyy> then why i can see asterisk if i grep apache ?
[22:53] <daftykins> daniel: i think i've heard someone say there are issues, just use a working browser for now maybe, or search for it and the exact flash version
[22:53] <christhecoolboy> hey everyone, I need some help
[22:53] <christhecoolboy> my Ubuntu is corrupted
[22:53] <daftykins> ask away chris
[22:54] <christhecoolboy> but I cannot format it
[22:54] <daftykins> on one line preferably
[22:54] <christhecoolboy> and it wont let me install
[22:54] <danmcd_> Is it bad for a postgresql server w/ 48 GiB of RAM to be using 46 GiB of memory for caching?
[22:54] <bhe> I'm looking for help with my USB headset. I don't have external speakers to even test that my sound is setup correctly.
[22:54] <velociostrich> cornith: There's a bunch of locations that it looks in, among them /usr/share/pixmaps and there's directories with icons specific to each theme though I can't remember where that is
[22:54] <daftykins> danmcd_: have you seen http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ ?
[22:55] <daftykins> danmcd_: maybe it's configured to :D
[22:55] <christhecoolboy> I think that when I had a power cut, it corrupted the data on the hard drive
[22:55] <azertyy> are you there ? over
[22:55] <velociostrich> cornith: Open a terminal and try this:         locate gnome-system-monitor.svg           and see where it is; the other icons should be nearby
[22:55] <danmcd_> daftykins, that's what my intuition says but a consultant thinks its a problem. I'll look at that page, thanks.
[22:55] <velociostrich> *facepalm* of course he quit right before I answered
[22:56] <overclucker> azertyy: looks like you have the users set right, try: sudo apache2ctl stop; sudo apache2ctl start
[22:56] <ivorensis> If i modify a file with terminal, how can I save and exit?
[22:56] <christhecoolboy> I need a way to format the Hard Drive, I cannot enter the live CD or Enter Ubuntu
[22:56] <christhecoolboy> how can I do it?
[22:57] <danmcd_> daftykins, I think it's time to fire that consultant.
[22:57] <daftykins> danmcd_: ooh-err, how old is he/she? :D
[22:57] <daftykins> christhecoolboy: why can't you boot the liveCD?
[22:58] <christhecoolboy> Well, it starts, then it freezes as it reads the hard drive
[22:58] <velociostrich> danmcd_: oh my sweet jesus -- 48 gigs!?!?
[22:58] <christhecoolboy> thus leading me to believe the the Drive may be corrupted and stopping the Install
[22:58] <azertyy> but still owned by asterisk overclucker
[23:00] <daftykins> christhecoolboy: hmm, can you run the test memory option?
[23:00] <christhecoolboy> Ok, I'll try
[23:00]  * ryuujin loves grails
[23:01] <christhecoolboy> daftykins: its doing it, it seems fine..
[23:01] <christhecoolboy> I think it is the Hard Drive, not the memory
[23:01] <IPconfig> hi
[23:02] <yayoj1> i
[23:02] <yayoj1> hi
[23:02] <christhecoolboy> daftykins: There is another way I know that it is the hard drive
[23:02] <IPconfig> can you help me out whit me .sh script
[23:02] <mikeru> Help, im getting "Read Error" when I try booting :(
[23:03] <daftykins> christhecoolboy: is there an axe embedded in it?
[23:03] <christhecoolboy> when trying to boot, it says "Cannot read 'blah blah blah'
[23:03] <drobole> cannot read sector... ?
[23:03] <christhecoolboy> daftykins: no, a power cut caused it, I think
[23:03] <christhecoolboy> drobole, no, like Cannot read '/dev/something/'
[23:04] <christhecoolboy> or whatever it is...
[23:04] <drobole> ok
[23:04] <yayoj1> IPconfig: no can do sorry.
[23:04] <IPconfig> when  somefing happens in linux .sh script and i want tp print somefing out how do i.......
[23:04] <ikonia> IPconfig: you need to pickup the basics of scripting, there are plenty of bash guides on the net
[23:05] <intok> I accidentally opened the Braid run.bin installer file in clam, now I can't figure out how to make it not open in it...
[23:05] <drobole> IPconfig: echo maybe
[23:05] <christhecoolboy> it says... Mount: Mounting /Dev on /root/dev failed: No Such file or Directory
[23:05] <IPconfig> no it dont print
[23:05] <ryuujin> christhecoolboy: who says it? /Dev is not a device and so you cannot mount it
[23:05] <christhecoolboy> the PC does
[23:05] <christhecoolboy> when it tries to boot
[23:05] <ryuujin> ah ok...
[23:05] <christhecoolboy> along with other garble
[23:06] <IPconfig> print_status "echo  Start Connaction"
[23:06] <IPconfig> it dont work
[23:06] <IPconfig> i dont get it
[23:06] <ikonia> IPconfig: show me the script in a pastebin
[23:07] <IPconfig> print_status "echo  Start Connaction"
[23:07] <IPconfig> print_status "echo incoming Command Session" print_status "echo Get command session" done
[23:07] <mwilson1023> what is the command for removing a PPA address?
[23:07] <serg27475024> hi. can anyone help me please? my mouse freezes for 1 sec, every 5 seconds. very unnerving. iv changed the grub lines and added acpi=off and acpi=force irqpoll, then sudo grup-update. nothing changed. help anyone?
[23:07] <christhecoolboy> daftykins: Could a powercut cause the Hard Drive to corrupt?
[23:07] <jktcat> I've got a problem.  I loaded ubuntu 10.10 on it and it got all the way through updating post-installation, re-booted to a blank screen with a blinking cursor in the top left hand corner like it's waiting for something.
[23:07] <ikonia> IPconfig: no, please show me the full script in full in a pastein (pastebin.ubuntu.com for example)
[23:07] <christhecoolboy> Cause it happened right after a powercut
[23:07] <ryuujin> christhecoolboy: fidsk -l ? paste me the output
[23:07] <christhecoolboy> ryuujin, I cant?
[23:07] <christhecoolboy> I cant get in to ubuntu
[23:08] <daftykins> mwilson1023: instead of add-apt-repo... ? might not be one :O
[23:08] <drobole> IPconfig: how about just echo "incoming command..."
[23:08] <daftykins> christhecoolboy: i'd be surprised if it did
[23:08] <ryuujin> christhecoolboy: but I think that on boot you don'e enter ubuntu, but a Busybox console... don't you?
[23:08] <daftykins> ryuujin: he can neither boot nor boot a livecd
[23:08] <IPconfig> but when some fings happen shall it print
[23:08] <Ampelbein> !info ppa-purge | mwilson1023
[23:08] <jktcat> Now I can't get a live-cd to do anything either.
[23:08] <ikonia> IPconfig: no, please show me the full script in full in a pastebin (pastebin.ubuntu.com for example)
[23:08] <christhecoolboy> daftykins: it was in the middle of Updating when the power failed...
[23:08] <IPconfig> like when the sission is open shall it print
[23:09] <serg27475024> hi. can anyone help me please? my mouse freezes for 1 sec, every 5 seconds. very unnerving. iv changed the grub lines and added acpi=off and acpi=force irqpoll, then sudo grup-update. nothing changed. help anyone?
[23:09] <daftykins> IPconfig: sorry this isn't a scripting channel. you will need to look elsewhere
[23:09] <velociostrich> Is it possible to run apt-get when I've chroot'd into an install on another drive?
[23:09] <BluesKaj> mwilson1023,alt+f2 , gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , you can comment the repos line or remove the ppa
[23:09] <mwilson1023> okthx
[23:10] <NancyStills> has anyone installed ubuntu using VirtualBox here ?
[23:10] <NancyStills> is there anything I should be on the lookout for as to problems ?
[23:10] <histo> NancyStills: yes
[23:10] <NancyStills> or any issues you had ?
[23:10] <ryuujin> christhecoolboy: please, try to search on the forum because there is surely a topic on how to restore ubuntu with such kind of error. Now I'm trying to find for you too
[23:10] <histo> NancyStills: nope pretty straight forward
[23:10] <Ampelbein> velociostrich: yes it is possible.
[23:10] <NancyStills> I got VB some time ago, have not used it yet - but it looks liek this should all be pretty good.
[23:10] <ryuujin> because I've only italian tutorial
[23:10] <NancyStills> thanks for feedback histo
[23:10] <NancyStills> what size did you give it ? I figure 100 GB ?
[23:11] <jktcat> Can't get a computer to boot, installed 10.10, finished updates, now it will not boot nor boot from live-cd. I turn the computer on and it goes to a blank screen with a blinking cursor like it's waiting for some kind of input on my part.
[23:11] <velociostrich> Ampelbein: Just wanted to know if it wouldn't blow up my system, thanks ;)
[23:11] <th0r> NancyStills: 10 should be plenty
[23:11] <christhecoolboy> ryuujin: I thought the whole point of an Ubuntu chat room was to enter it and get help from other Ubuntu Geeks who know about Computers more than I, no offense...
[23:11] <NancyStills> oh, - great.   I plan on doing osme development stuffs though, but ok.
[23:11] <NancyStills> histo - did VB partition an existing drive for you ?
[23:11] <serg27475024> hi. can anyone help me please? my mouse freezes for 1 sec, every 5 seconds. very unnerving. iv changed the grub lines and added acpi=off and acpi=force irqpoll, then sudo grup-update. nothing changed. help anyone?
[23:11] <drobole> jktcat: dou you have more than 1 hard drive?
[23:11] <th0r> NancyStills: all your data storage can be shared folders in the mother OS
[23:11] <NancyStills> th0r - oh.
[23:11] <jktcat> I have an external hooked to it..
[23:12] <histo> NancyStills: VB creates images
[23:12] <NancyStills> great.
[23:12] <mastin_> salve, non riesco a desinstalare db2exc, qualcuno puo darmi una mano?
[23:12] <ryuujin> christhecoolboy: you're right, but now I can't help you... but I'm sure there are topics can help you better. Such as: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1568704
[23:13] <drobole> jktcat: it could be that grub has been installed on the wrong HD. just a thought as it happened to me the other day
[23:13] <christhecoolboy> ryuujin: dont you think I've tried that, with the shift key?
[23:13] <christhecoolboy> it doesnt let me...
[23:13] <christhecoolboy> it freezes
[23:13] <jktcat> and how would I go about correcting that? change the boot sequence? would that prevent me from being able to start up with a live-cd?
[23:13] <ryuujin> christhecoolboy: http://superuser.com/questions/207788/ubuntu-fails-to-start-after-system-update-displays-busybox-notice-on-command-lin try it. Sorry, it is the only way I can help you now
[23:14] <daftykins> jktcat: you'd need to boot the livecd, do some command line trickery and then reinstall grub to the disk inside, assuming it's as drobole says
[23:14] <drobole> i ran the live cd and installed it on both HDs to be sure, I'll see if i can find the instructions i used...
[23:14] <mastin_> hi
[23:15] <daftykins> christhecoolboy: you'd be surprised how little people generally try before asking in here. if i were you i'd disconnect power to the HDD and boot the livecd to see what happens, next
[23:15] <christhecoolboy> I cannot unscrew the hard drive
[23:15] <christhecoolboy> its part of the screen
[23:15] <daftykins> drobole: both!? the installer usually only offers one choice :D
[23:15] <daftykins> christhecoolboy: so are you actually saying you have an iMac?
[23:15] <velociostrich> Quick question: If I run update-grub, will it probe for other operating systems just like when apt-get pulls a new kernel? Or do I have to run something else to first update grub's list of installed OS's and then run update-grub....?
[23:15] <christhecoolboy> MSI touchscreen PC <daftykins
[23:16] <jktcat> I can't even get the live-cd to bring anything up, i've got it in the drive and try to boot from that drive and i'm left with the blank screen
[23:16] <drobole> it gave me two choises and i chose the wrong one :/
[23:17] <drobole> jktcat: hmm sounds like you need to enter bios and set CD/DVD as first boot device (maybe)
[23:17] <serg27475024> hi. can anyone help me please? my mouse freezes for 1 sec, every 5 seconds. very unnerving. iv changed the grub lines and added acpi=off and acpi=force irqpoll, then sudo grup-update. nothing changed. help anyone?
[23:17] <daftykins> velociostrich: all update-grub does is re-generate the boot config from the other file, as far as i know
[23:17] <intok> I accidentally opened the Braid run.bin installer file in clam, now I can't figure out how to make it not open in it...
[23:17] <daftykins> christhecoolboy: what model?
[23:17] <velociostrich> daftykins: As in, it reads all those 10_linux 00_header and so forth files to generate /etc/grub/grub.cfg?
[23:17] <christhecoolboy> MSI AE2020
[23:18] <daftykins> velociostrich: hmm i'm not 100% sure, might be worth finding the GRUB2 guide
[23:18] <Ampelbein> intok: right-mouse click -> properties -> open with
[23:18] <daftykins> ooh-err one of those :S
[23:18]  * weather_dude is beautiful
[23:18] <jktcat> drobole: when I boot it (the computer) i hit f12 for boot setup and choose the dvd/cd drive, it acts like it's trying to boot from there and i'm left back on the blank screen
[23:19] <christhecoolboy> daftykins, I bought it to play minecraft and games that take more RAM
[23:19] <velociostrich> daftykins: Yeah, the man pages aren't very helpful but I've been looking at the community Ubuntu docs -- should look for the official docs (if there are any)
[23:19] <intok> Ampelbein well it lists nothing under properties>open with
[23:19] <daftykins> velociostrich: ah ok, sorry!
[23:19] <Ampelbein> intok: what happens if you click on 'reset'?
[23:19] <drobole> jktcat: ouch. could be a bad DVD or worse, a bad DVD player. (I have had plenty of those) Hard to say
[23:20] <daftykins> christhecoolboy: hmm, that's an awkward one. can you get into the BIOS and disable the hard disk controllers, or google for a way to boot the livecd without probing for disks?
[23:20] <UNew> can anyone help me figure this out? I downloaded and ran through all the required installation steps, but it asks that I run a shell script to finish and I don't know how
[23:20] <velociostrich> daftykins: no problem, I'll struggle my way through this eventually ;)
[23:20] <daftykins> UNew: what are you installing?
[23:20] <mastin_> I installed db2exc, then I try to uninstalled using apt-get/aptitude but it fail. Then (trying to uninstall it ) I delete /opt/ibm/db2 folder. Now I can not uninstall or reinstall the package using apt-get or aptitude
[23:20] <christhecoolboy> I'll try... daftykins: Can I PM you while doing it, its hard to really see with everyone else typing...
[23:21] <UNew> daftykins: it's the TOR bundle
[23:21] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: What problem are you having specifically now?
[23:21] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: Ah, you're back -- I did as you said and rebooted and ran the commands one at a time manually, and the boot breaks at the linux command, saying that it can't read the linux header
[23:21] <intok> Ampelbein still makes it open in clamtk... it's only listed to open in anything under the r-click contextual menu, properties lists no assigned application
[23:21] <mastin_> it show me this error: dpkg: error processing db2exc (--configure):
[23:21] <mastin_>  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[23:21] <mastin_>  reinstall it before attempting configuration.
[23:22] <daftykins> UNew: are you sure you couldn't get it via APT? anyway, if the script is in the same folder as you, you may need to make it executable then run it. typically you'd open the terminal for that, type "chmod +x /path/to/scriptfile.sh" then "cd /path/to/" then "./scriptfile.sh"
[23:22] <jktcat> is there a way to install ubuntu from a external hard drive? just a matter of boot sequence?  would ubuntu have to be the only thing on it?
[23:22] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: That suggests that you either have a BIOS bug or that the file you're loading isn't a valid linux kernel, possibly it's been corrupted.
[23:22] <daftykins> jktcat: you can put it on a USB flash drive, if your flash drive is bootable
[23:23] <UNew> daftykins: thank you, I'll try that
[23:23] <kevinkonrad> is there a way to replace firefox on ubuntu's top bar?
[23:23] <christhecoolboy> daftykins: Can I PM you, I think I've found something...
[23:23] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: I had the same suspicion (as for corruption; the BIOS does boot the same OS from a HD), so I've chroot'd into the CF card and I'm running apt-get dist-upgrade to try to get the newest version of the kernel (which is also hopefully not corrupted)
[23:24] <daftykins> christhecoolboy: i should really sleep now. paste a link if you like
[23:24] <itaylor57> kevinkonrad: right click on the icon and chose remove
[23:24] <itaylor57> kevinkonrad: right click on the icon and chose remove from panel
[23:24] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: Make sure that you have /dev /proc/ and /sys/ bind mounted in the chroot.
[23:24] <christhecoolboy> Well, I am now in Grub, pressing C at the list
[23:24] <Ampelbein> intok: if you have a file manager window open, go 'edit -> preferences -> media' and check there
[23:24] <christhecoolboy> how do I format the Drive from Grub?
[23:25] <daftykins> that's not really what GRUB is for, you'll need to look up some guides
[23:25] <Jordan_U> christhecoolboy: You can't.
[23:25] <christhecoolboy> :(
[23:25] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: I have; I followed the instructions given in the community documentation which covers all those binds
[23:26] <intok> Ampelbein ok, what am I looking for here? It's the installer file from the HIB, not off a cd
[23:26] <Ampelbein> intok: oh, sorry.
[23:26] <kevinkonrad> is there a way to replace firefox on the top bar?
[23:26] <iv4n> www.sexcam5.tk
[23:27] <christhecoolboy> Isnt there something like a CD I could use to format the Drive
[23:27] <velociostrich> kevinkonrad: If you're looking to remove the firefox shortcut from your gnome-panel, then yes; just right click it, then click remove, then choose your browser of choice from the applications menu, right click it and select "add to panel"
[23:27] <christhecoolboy> like Windows has its "Boot CD"
[23:27] <kevinkonrad> ...
[23:27] <itaylor57> kevinkonrad: right click on the icon and chose remove from panel then drag whatever icon you want to the panel
[23:27] <iv4n> I once got pulled over with a hooker so I swallowed her.
[23:28] <Ampelbein> !ops | iv4n
[23:28] <acerimmer> christhecoolboy: you mean a Live CD?
[23:28] <christhecoolboy> no
[23:28] <christhecoolboy> the Live CD fails
[23:28] <christhecoolboy> cause of the Hard Drive
[23:28] <Ampelbein> intok: if you right click the file, what is shown as 'Type'?
[23:29] <drobole> christthecoolboy: if the live cd doesn't work you could try to download some small linux. there are some of them meant for rescue stuff
[23:29]  * kevinkonrad still hasnt had his question answered
[23:29] <christhecoolboy> drobole: I think it is the fact that the hard drive is corrupted
[23:29] <christhecoolboy> thats why the CD wont work
[23:29] <itaylor57> kevinkonrad: yes you have muliple times
[23:29] <christhecoolboy> its trying to read the drive
[23:29] <drobole> ahh it was you lol
[23:30]  * kevinkonrad crashed his irc client, probably resulting in me missing it
[23:30] <intok> Ampelbein program (application/octet-stream)
[23:30] <itaylor57> kevinkonrad: right click on the icon and chose remove from panel then drag whatever icon you want to the panel
[23:30] <kevinkonrad> right click opens firefox
[23:30] <Ampelbein> intok: ok, on the tab 'Permissions', check that 'Allow executing file as program' is set
[23:31] <itaylor57> kevinkonrad then you have redefined right click
[23:31] <kevinkonrad> im going to try something, need to log out, brb
[23:32] <christhecoolboy> Isnt there a CD for ubuntu like umm... Fdisk for Windows
[23:32] <acerimmer> christhecoolboy: HD corruption or not, you should be able to boot from a LiveCD.  You DID run the md5checksum after downloading and after burning, right?
[23:32] <christhecoolboy> where it formats the Drive
[23:32] <carbonate> Hi I'm having a really bad time with the USB Live install, it hangs at the second step. Also if I try the alternate installer it hangs at 45% Partitioner. Can someone lend a ear
[23:32] <christhecoolboy> acerimmer, the Disk has worked before...
[23:33] <Milossh> hello. I'm using openvpn to connect to a vpn, but all the traffic is going through vpn. How can I change that?
[23:33] <acerimmer> christhecoolboy: :~ understood
[23:33] <drobole> there is some linux distros that will fit on a floppy i think, with rescue tools on it
[23:33] <christhecoolboy> it does boot, but as soon as I click on Try ubuntu or Install, it freezes
[23:33] <christhecoolboy> almost like it is freezing trying to read the hard drive
[23:34] <intok> Ampelbein yeah, it's set, I missed clicked the clamscan item on the contex menu on the way down to the permissions item to allow execution as a program
[23:34] <acerimmer> christhecoolboy: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
[23:34] <christhecoolboy> thanks, acerimmer, I'll try that...
[23:34] <Jef91> Whats the support channel for Natty stuff?
[23:35] <kevinkonrad> no good, i thought it could be that i was using kde but gnome makes no difference
[23:35] <kevinkonrad> it could be my mouse
[23:35] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: Well, I updated the kernel and successfully updated grub (I see the new kernel at the grub prompt), but I get the same error. I have also (before this last install to the CF card) copying the files from the HD (that boots fine) to the CF card, and chrooting into the card and fixing grub and all that, but still to no avail.
[23:35] <kevinkonrad> if i try to right click and drag the mouse starts flying all over the screen
[23:36] <kevinkonrad> it could be because im using a touchpad
[23:36] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: Try running "md5sum /boot/vmlinuz-2.6..." from the grub shell and from a booted system and see if they match.
[23:36] <itaylor57> kevinkonrad  hover your mouse over the icon on the top bar; then press right click; you should see a menu; select remove from panel
[23:37] <drobole> you have both touchpad and mouse attached?
[23:37] <root> any good exploit irc channels?
[23:37] <kevinkonrad> drobole, no the left/right click buttions are part of the touchpad
[23:38] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: I would attempt that, only the booting system is running 10.04.2 and the CF card has 9.10, so they don't have the same kernels. I can vaguely recall where to find md5sums for .deb packages, so I can at least try that
[23:38] <drobole> kevinkonrad: maybe try a good old mouse then just to see it it is the touchpad drivers causing the problems
[23:38] <kevinkonrad> itaylor57: both left and right click launch firefox
[23:39] <Ampelbein> intok: next ides: in '~/.local/share/applications' is there a mention of octet-stream?
[23:39] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: You can just mount the 10.04 partition and run "md5sum /mountpoint/boot/vmlinuz...".
[23:40] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: Yes, but I have no known good copy of the kernel to compare the md5sum with
[23:40] <kevinkonrad> itaylor57: new computer, no port of old mouse
[23:42] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: This is to determine if the problem is a BIOS bug, I'm assuming for the moment that the file is valid.
[23:44] <intok> Ampelbein not that I can see http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/1365/screenshot1xk.png
[23:44] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: The checksums is e28354cbc313b061930b23630c12a0aa for 2.6.31-14-generic, which is the older kernel
[23:46] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: I need to know if the md5sum from the grub shell matches what is read by a booted linux system.
[23:47] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: That's what I was trying to say before; I have nothing to compare that md5 with. I don't believe there is a problem with the BIOS as I am able to boot to a hard drive with that same system.
[23:48] <Ampelbein> intok: then I'm afraid I'm out of knowledge
[23:48] <serg27475024> hi. can anyone help me please? my mouse freezes for 1 sec, every 5 seconds. very unnerving. iv changed the grub lines and added acpi=off and acpi=force irqpoll, then sudo grup-update. nothing changed. help anyone?
[23:48] <intok>  Ampelbein thanks anyways mate
[23:49] <dejan_> hi, please help me till few hours before everything was fine i could connect to my wireless router with wep key, i have installed apache and everything was fine, and now whe i turned on my laptop i can no longer connect to my wireless router with wep key, without any protection i can connect but i cant connect with the wep key anymore, I have connected wit hwep in previous days..
[23:49] <Jordan_U> velociostrich: Did you run "md5sum /boot/vmlinuz-2.6...." from the grub shell?
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> serg27475024: is the system a branded PC or laptop?
[23:50] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: Ah, from the *grub* shell, no
[23:50] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: I will do that shortly
[23:51] <serg27475024> ActionParsnip: its a laptop
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> serg27475024: what make and model?
[23:52] <serg27475024> toshiba tecra a9PTS52E
[23:53] <derek_> hey guys
[23:53] <serg27475024> ActionParsnip: toshiba tecra a9 PTS52E
[23:55] <Sorinan> there's a way to do voice/video on MSN?
[23:55] <serg27475024> ActionParsnip: did u discover anything......? ...
[23:56] <velociostrich> Jordan_U: If I cannot make the system boot off of the compact flash card, I may just create a clone of the hard drive in the event of failure, and mount the CF card on /home; the system is going to be used for a local e-mail server of sorts, so I went with the CF card because it can't fail physically like an HD can
[23:56] <josh_ritger> can anybody tell me why in 10.10 when I run sudo nautilus in a terminal it turns my whole session into root instead of just the nautilus window that is opened?
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> serg27475024: not yet
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> josh_ritger: DON'T use sudo with nautilus
[23:57] <kkkkkkkkkkkk> does anybody know a way to browse the internet from the terminal
[23:57] <kkkkkkkkkkkk> cause i dont have access to gui right now
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> kkkkkkkkkkkk: use links, links2, lynx etc
[23:57] <serg27475024> ActionParsnip: thx
[23:57] <kkkkkkkkkkkk> thanks, ill try that
[23:57] <v3ctor> kkkkkkkkkkkk: links lynx links2 w3m
[23:57] <josh_ritger> ActionParsnip: how am I supposed to copy files into directories that are owned by root?
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> !gksudo | josh_ritger
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> serg27475024: do you have the latest BIOS?
[23:58] <serg27475024> yep.
[23:58] <serg27475024> checked that as well. changed in bios: usb legacy= off
[23:59] <josh_ritger> ActionParsnip: thank you, I have been using sudo nautilus for years, haven't upgraded since 8.04 lts so 10.10 is much different, thanks for the explanation also
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> serg27475024: ok when it stops, run: dmesg | tail    what is output (use a pastebin to hold the text)
[23:59] <administrator_> 亲爱的好朋友们，你们好吗？
[23:59] <administrator_> 呵呵
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> josh_ritger: nautilus draws the desktop icons which may be why it runs the session as root, gksudo should fix that and will also not bork your ~/.ICEauthority file


[00:15] <Charmity> Hi, I needed verification for one of my new PGP keys, and its been 2 hours since the request, and there is still no email
[00:15] <Charmity> any idea whats going on?
[00:26] <wgrant> Charmity: Have you checked your spam folder?
[00:26] <Charmity> yep
[00:28] <wgrant> Can you receive other email from Launchpad on that addrss?
[00:30] <Charmity> yeah, I confirmed an address a hour before that
[00:30] <Charmity> *the address
[00:31] <Charmity> and I received that email.
[00:31] <wgrant> Have you tried resending the OpenPGP verification email?
[00:31] <Charmity> yep
[00:38] <Charmity> odd, I switched the contact address to another one, and then back to the one that I was having trouble with, and it works now
[00:38] <wgrant> That certainly is odd.


[13:14] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[19:09] <clivejo> @mparillo konversion has been throwing errors about KDE server cert being expired, maybe that's whats behind your issues?  Been doing it for 48 hours or so for me.
[20:47] <mparillo> Yes thank you, I got tired of the pop-up in Konversation, and I simply accepted the cert forever. Not sure if it is related to my not seeing new traffic in Ubuntu's test Matrix room
