[00:03] <qin> phenrique: Do you know that it is publicly logged channel?
[00:03] <satch5150> anyone else know of any workarounds or have any other thoughts ?
[00:03] <new001> Why would I use apt-get over aptitude since aptitude has switches like -r which are super handy ?
[00:04] <klj613> in ubuntu, when i enable caps, type 'H'. then disable and type 'ello' i get HEllo (i seem to hit e before the OS disables the caps).. why? been irritating me for a while now..
[00:04] <yeats> new001: personal preference?
[00:04] <new001> yeats: does apt-get have features that aptitude does not?
[00:04] <new001> yeats: so I may know when to use it
[00:05] <yeats> new001: aptitude probably has more features - apt-get is pretty much the standard command line program to access APT
[00:05] <new001> yeats: gotcha, thank you
[00:05] <yeats> new001: they are basically equivalent, though - you can use them the same way
[00:06] <jack__> I am trying to install sun JDK on 11.04 and the script has lauched a doc that looks like the "accept the lic." but it doesn't seem to accept input, the OK button is not active.  Anbody know how to submit "OK" and get the script to proceed?

[00:34] <sublim21> hey all
[00:34] <sublim21> got a quick question.  im running ubuntu on a netbook. and i got a little panel uptop.  i've somehow moved one of the icons
[00:34] <sublim21> and i don't know how to move it back
[00:35] <martin_tsc> sublim right click unlock/move
[00:36] <sublim21> martin_tsc: i can't right click on this app
[00:36] <sublim21> i don't have the option to move
[00:37] <martin_tsc> then sry idk
[00:37] <sublim21> D:
[00:38] <martin_tsc> Komodo tells me i got an error on this line but I dont know php very well yet.  $distance_factor = IF ($distance < 1000)
[00:38] <urlin2u> sublim21, how did you move it to begin with and what is the icon?
[00:39] <sublim21> urlin2u: im not sure how i moved it.  i was trying to get the hdmi to work earlier and my focus wasn't on my netbooks screen
[00:39] <sublim21> and the application is jupiter
[00:40] <martin_tsc> cant anyone direct me to a decent place to get help for php
[00:40] <Mean_Admin> anyone use ddrescue around here ?
[00:40] <urlin2u> sublim21, is it off try restarting it, or is it somewhere else now?
[00:41] <IdleOne> martin_tsc: ##php
[00:41] <IdleOne> or is it #php
[00:41] <sublim21> urlin2u: i've tried turning it off and on.  it goes back to the same spot.
[00:41] <martin_tsc> invite only
[00:42] <sublim21> urlin2u: nevermind.  i just moved it.  i had to right click NEXT to it, not on it.
[00:42] <fr0sted> sup all
[00:42] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: what you looking at as far as ddrescue?
[00:42] <urlin2u> sublim21, it helps if you give like this information on X desktop I had Jupiter here and now it is here, so at the least this isn't 20 questions.
[00:43] <urlin2u> sublim21, cool
[00:44] <sublim21> urlin2u: im confused by previous statement
[00:44] <Mean_Admin> debugnet:  Well, I'm using it (actually GNU ddrescue or gddrescue) and I have stuff like  [time from last successful read: 10m]
[00:44] <urlin2u> sublim21, give a better description, but the very first respnse was the answer. :D
[00:44] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: and when I use the no-split option, it finishes in 1 second without any copying
[00:44] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: am I to interpret this as a really really dead drive ?
[00:45] <sublim21> urlin2u: yes.  couldn't agree more.  stating your problem clearly is of utmost importance.  thanks for the help.  its just odd the little lightening icon takes more space than is obvious
[00:45] <urlin2u> sublim21, it's not always easy on your end that's for sure.:D
[00:45] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: what is the exact cmd line you are typing (without sensitive stuff obviously) so i can look at what it is doing.
[00:46] <sublim21> urlin2u: true.
[00:46] <sublim21> errr
[00:46] <sublim21> 1
[00:46] <jack__> how do you select the java implementation you want to use after installing sun?  do I need to just reboot?
[00:46] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: ddrescue -d -r 3 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb1 /media/log/logfile
[00:46] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: dead drives will sit there for hours before really giving you an indication it is truly f'd
[00:47] <Polah> jack__: sudo alternatives --config java   and select the one you want
[00:48] <denstark> Hello! Was just wondering how I can have other users access an external drive automatically mounted
[00:48] <denstark> Using Ubuntu 11.04
[00:48] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: at this point, I just wanna copy everything wholesale (thus using --no-split) but it doesn't do that .. it just finishes quickly and shows as result  0 bytes rescued
[00:49] <Polah> denstark: Change permissions of files on the drive so they're publically read/writeable and you might want to configure a umask to make it so new files are also publically read/writeable
[00:49] <debugnet> according to my help, the -r is for reverse and -d is for O_DIRECT. both the options would not require other options (ie -r 3) so the three doesn't mean anything. also what is the log file, was that suppose to be a redirect ( > ) of stdout?
[00:49] <grumbly> How do I discern what version of Ubuntu i am on?  I'm super drawing a blank and all Ican remember is uname
[00:49] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: I've looked through the man page and --no-split is the closest thing I found; I don't want to use good old    dd   on its own since it apparently just ignores errors and by simple ignoring them, it brakes any semblence of filesystem
[00:49] <Polah> Or for a bit more security, put the users you want to have access in a group and then set file permissions so only owner and group can read/write
[00:49] <denstark> Polah: I tried sudo chmod go+rx -R /media/drive but the permissions didn't change
[00:50] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: true that about dd
[00:50] <new001> What is the command to get an X on your cursor to kill an x window?
[00:50] <Polah> denstark: sudo chmod 755
[00:50] <denstark> new001: xkill i believe
[00:50] <new001> thank you
[00:50] <Polah> denstark: 755 is read execute, 766 for read/write with no execute
[00:50] <new001> denstark, that was it, thanks
[00:50] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: I thought  -r  mean retries, lemme look at that again
[00:50] <denstark> Polah: Ah ok.. I like letters better than numbers, trying 755 now
[00:50] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: default options for ddrescue could be as simple as: ddrescue /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb1
[00:50] <denstark> :P
[00:51] <urlin2u> grumbly, lsb_release -a
[00:51] <Mean_Admin> according to : http://linux.die.net/man/1/ddrescue
[00:51] <grumbly> thank you urlin2u
[00:51] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: one side note though is that the destination should usually be a file or drive at least the same size or LARGER than the source drive
[00:51] <denstark> Polah: chmod 755 -R /media/drive still doesn't change the permissions :(
[00:51] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: sorry, according to http://linux.die.net/man/1/ddrescue ,  -r, --max-retries=<n>       exit after given retries (-1=infinity) [0]
[00:51] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: that could be a version issue with the -r option
[00:51] <denstark> Polah: it doesn't throw errors or anything
[00:51] <exutux> is that an NTFS partition denstark ?
[00:52] <Polah> denstark: Do you want write access or only read/execute?
[00:52] <denstark> exutux: yes indeed it is
[00:52] <grumbly> Now, is it worth it to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04?
[00:52] <denstark> Polah: Just read will be fine
[00:52] <Polah> denstark: Or that. NTFS requires remounting to change permissions.
[00:52] <szal> denstark: what filesystem?
[00:52] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: I'm using 1.11
[00:52] <denstark> szal: ntfs
[00:52] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: so that manpage should be valid
[00:52] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: 1.14 myself
[00:52] <szal> NTFS doesn't know Unix permissions, you set permissions w/ uid and gid in the mount options
[00:52] <debugnet> Mean_Admin:  probably
[00:52] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: bleeding-edge, eh :P
[00:52] <denstark> Polah: Aha.. so I guess I should just add it into fstab, I was thinking I could do it the easy way ;)
[00:53] <urlin2u> grumbly, download the ISO and look at it really, unity is different, but there is a classic desktop as well
[00:53] <denstark> szal: Thank you, I'll do it via fstab w/ uid/gid
[00:53] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: all right then ... so I'll try a vanilla        ddrescue /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb1
[00:53] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: funny, try to sometimes
[00:53] <Polah> denstark: Yes, add an entry to fstab with permissions set through options and it'll do them each time the system is loaded
[00:53] <szal> or, respectively, umask/gmask/dmask
[00:53] <grumbly> i've used unity... not a fan, really, but that's probably because I just dont want to get used to it.
[00:53] <denstark> I will do that, thanks all for the help
[00:53] <szal> !ntfs | denstark
[00:54] <fr0sted> btw quassel irc is pretty neat irc app for ubuntu :)
[00:54] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: my recommendation would send to a file so you can keep the image for backup purposes later, just a thought...
[00:54] <grumbly> urlin2u: is that the only major difference?  there's no boot time improvement? no back end goodness?
[00:54] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: so mount the destination ?
[00:55] <grumbly> urlin2u: also, I dont remember how to boot an ISO from GRUB2
[00:55] <denstark> How can I grab the UUID of this drive? I'd rather use that but I am not sure how to grab it
[00:55] <Polah> denstark: Mount it and do mount -l
[00:55] <szal> denstark: blkid
[00:55] <Polah> oh no wait, sudo blkid is right. Had a bit of a dumb moment
[00:55] <urlin2u> grumbly, I suppose it is really a subjective answer here in the end boot time is the same pretty much updated apps, we really don't answer these sort of questions; to many variables.
[00:55] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: neg, just send it to a file on another drive that has enough free space. you can subsequently mount it with loop option to view it later after the hours of waiting for it to rescue the sectors one at a time
[00:56] <denstark> szal and Polah: Thanks :) Got it!
[00:56] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: I had a destination partition /dev/sdb1 that I was using
[00:57] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: in my original tries ... I'll just mount that I guess (it's empty) ; but I'm assuming a 10 minute since last succesfull read is pretty bad
[00:57] <grumbly> urlin2u: fair point.  You know of any verdant places I can read on how to improve the performance of my beater ASUS K50Ij?
[00:57] <urlin2u> grumbly, no really.
[00:57] <urlin2u> not
[00:58] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: that is fine but just keep in mind that the destination will become and exact image of the source drive, to include deleted files, drive 'properties' like file system it uses and fragmenation, etc.
[00:58] <johngilbrough> I'm looking for a way to convey the client's timezone to the server when working with gnome-terminal - any ideas?
[00:58] <grumbly> urlin2u: phooey.  How about laptop performance in general?
[00:59] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: so I just initiated  ddrescue /dev/sda3 /media/dest/img logfile
[00:59] <WinCamXP> hi
[00:59] <urlin2u> grumbly, I think you have to get in the trenches like the rest of us and search the web and test, any answer her is totally subjective, and a opinion.
[00:59] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: however, it's splitting  and then /media/dest/img file isn't growing ..
[01:00] <grumbly> urlin2u: i know... UGH...  I wish google would archive stuff from more than a year back...
[01:00] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: put a > inbetween the img and logfile so the logfile gets the output. again might be a 1.11 version issue with it asking for a log file but that just seemed strange to have a third file name in the command to me
[01:01] <denstark> Thank you everyone for the help ;)
[01:01] <urlin2u> grumbly, that laptop is hardly old, kore ram is always good I have laptops 5 to 8 years old
[01:01] <urlin2u> more
[01:02] <rowas> Hey guys
[01:02] <sublim21> so this is my first installation of linux.  and as such i've installed/edited/bumbled through installations
[01:02] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: I omitted the log file, doens't really matter
[01:02] <sublim21> how can i be sure to squeeze the most performance out of this weeeee little laptop
[01:02] <grumbly> urlin2u: i know it's not old, but it's not my amazing macbook...  which just pooped it's guts out on my lap.
[01:03] <sublim21> thats the worse.  pooping out your guts
[01:03] <rowas> I was wondering about the ARM version of Ubuntu, and how I would go about installing it on a smartphone or tablet.
[01:03] <rowas> More specifically, I'm thinking about finding a way to get it onto a Tegra 3 tablet
[01:03] <grumbly> sublim21: the joy of slippery floors and over-stuffed hands.
[01:03] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: let me know if this sounds familiar: if i use vanilla   ddrescue /dev/sda3 /media/dest/img    then it says it's splitting and /media/dest/img has a size of 0
[01:03] <uofm49426> off brand rtl8185 wifi card or a old belkin rt2561 witch sucks less
[01:03] <rowas> grumbly: that's obscene. lol
[01:04] <grumbly> lol
[01:04] <grumbly> urlin2u: never heard of Kore ram
[01:04] <urlin2u> more
[01:05] <AegNuddel> I have ubuntu studio and just got some new speakers but my computer will not detect them
[01:05] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: interesting...is it running at the moment?
[01:05] <Mean_Admin> yep
[01:05] <grumbly> urlin2u: oh.  sorry.  I wasnt trying to poke fun.
[01:06] <sublim21> grumbly: sucks man.  lets all have a moment of silence for your lose
[01:06] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: I'm assuming there are so many errors, it just keeps splitting, trying to find some useful peice of data to copy
[01:06] <rowas> AegNuddel: Uninstall it and go with full Ubuntu. It's a miracle you got that far. lol
[01:06] <grumbly> sublim21: it will rise again.  this is not the 1st time i've tossed a laptop
[01:06] <urlin2u> grumbly, I didn't think you were  corrected it two lines afterward.
[01:06] <grumbly> or this one
[01:06] <sublim21> grumbly: may it rise like a might phoenix from the ashes
[01:07] <AegNuddel> but it played sound when I had my sister's speakers in, so it makes no sense.  the only difference is these need electric power which they currently have
[01:07] <grumbly> sublim21: no... like a laptop from my neighborhood "tech nerd" teen!  he thinks he's so smart!  it's cute... and gross... but I give him $ for parts and labor.
[01:07] <scollier> hi, i've read the ubuntu community doc about setting up pxe server.  i'm trying to set up a PXE install of ubuntu 11.04.  do i need to add any special kernel options to the menu file?
[01:08] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: in a previous log from a previous try, the log indicates the position of data being read
[01:08] <scollier> right now it's grabbing the initrd and kernel, and stopping at "(initramfs)" No init found
[01:08] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: it's all either skipped or "no data from this extent was copied succesfully"
[01:08] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: basically, it seems to me .. it tried to read, saw errors, skipped ahead, more errors skipped ahead and so on
[01:09] <grumbly> OH!!! does anyone have any experience recovering data from a previously formatted hpfs+ drive?
[01:09] <grumbly> the interweb wasn't friendly for this task...
[01:10] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: strange, maybe that version requires you to specify a starting offset/byte location?
[01:10] <jorge_> someone can help me with a video card nvidia NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] en ubuntu 10.04 , i try alots differents ways to do n google but nothing
[01:10] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: ...or size/length of the data that you are trying to copy?
[01:11] <szal> jorge_: what exactly do you need help with?
[01:11] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: maybe .. I doubt it though. As it's running, it's showing me the pos on the hard drive, it's combing through the entire thing just "splitting failed blocks" (for 6.6 minutes, it's been doing just that)
[01:11] <jorge_> install drivers szal
[01:12] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: actually based on what you described, it was actually doing what it was suppose to do...maybe i am just bad at chatting and didn't realize that that zero byte size is normal at first...
[01:12] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: you can indicate offset and size and length but I'm pretty sure it's optional; in the logfile , it starts at 0x000000
[01:12] <Technicus> hello, i noticed that when i am running my laptop on battery vs. plugged in to AC that my wireless connections seem weaker than when my laptop is plugged in.  Is there a way to adjust the power settings so you can dedicate full power to the wireless unit consistantly???? Thanks!
[01:12] <szal> jorge_: 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-173 && sudo nvidia-xconfig', then reboot
[01:12] <grumbly> jorge_: do you have the correct drivers from Nvidia?
[01:12] <mrmadmoneyman> hello
[01:12] <mrmadmoneyman> Anyone here good with Linux routing and tc htb?
[01:12] <BlueProtoman> Does Linux have something similar to Joy2Key on Windows?  Eg, where I can take the input of a gamepad (a Bluetooth one, in this case) and turn it into keyboard input for programs that don't support gamepads?  Or does one at least run well in WINE?
[01:13] <mrmadmoneyman> ls
[01:13] <kingofswords> is .cache and .config foler suppose to be in my file browser side bar?
[01:14] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: yeah, splitting except when I call no-split, it finishes within 1 second .. according to itself, it consider the whole partition as one gigantic error :S
[01:14] <jorge_> i try different from system-administration n nothing then from nvidia official page n nothing n another ways i found n google
[01:14] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: errors:1  errsize:479GB
[01:14] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: maybe it is working then afterall, trying waiting for it to do its thing for a while but if it stops after only a few minutes or an hour only then something truly went wrong
[01:14] <Barzogh> hello, got a weird issue here , my "id_rsa" and id_rsa.pub" disappeared from .ssh/ however if i try to locate them, it shows me the right path .. any idea?
[01:15] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: so I should let it run for like hours and hours ?
[01:15] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: that error messages means that it had one bad spot, bad drives will normally have that but the program is designed to skip those bad spots and continue with the good spots.
[01:16] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: yep, could be for days depending on the drive size.
[01:16] <jorge_> let me try this 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-173 && sudo nvidia-xconfig'
[01:16] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: you're right, unfortunately the whole log was *filled* with   skipping because of errors    and   couldn't recover anything
[01:16] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: I literally didn't see a single ANYthing recovered
[01:16] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: all right then.. days it is !
[01:17] <Lucas_> ola!?
[01:17] <debugnet> Mean_Admin: sorry about that, i had a 40 GB drive that took literally 72 hours to recover and it had about 10% drive damage...good luck.

[01:21] <urlin2u> WhoCaresss, I don't use fdisk but stae your intentions.
[01:21] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell then ... I guess, yeah, I'll look again at the status in 3 weeks
[01:21] <WhoCaresss> finding if my partitions aren't aligned correctly (they aren't) and then re-aligning my partitions
[01:21] <Mean_Admin> debugnet: thanks for your assistance man :)
[01:21] <K-Rich> hey all
[01:21] <WhoCaresss> I have win7 and ubuntu at my disposal but it looks like gparted would be the best choice
[01:22] <RussellAlan> Installed 11.04 from Live CD, had Win 7 on /sda1/ and Ubuntu on /sda3 ... Made bootloader sda3 and / as mount folder, Now Grub2 does not load and it loads directly into Win 7, can anyone help? I went to Boot-Repair on  Live CD but it didm recognize sda1
[01:22] <urlin2u> WhoCaresss, aligned correctly?
[01:22] <RussellAlan> Please help
[01:23] <urlin2u> !grub | RussellAlan

[01:24] <MSS> thanks for the links, but I'm experiencing a pretty steep learning curve here, just booted my very first linux today and need to install VMWare player from a downloaded bundle. can't seem to find any specific examples for mounting the file and installing
[01:25] <rypervenche> MSS: Do you NEED VMWare? virtualbox is a lot easier to install.
[01:25] <urlin2u> WhoCaresss, did you notice the refrences to XP that is not really true anymore and barely was to begin with.
[01:26] <WhoCaresss> yes I did, however I'm fairly sure I created my partitions incorrectly (did not let Ubuntu auto-configure them). I know of know other reason why my drive would be performing so poorly
[01:27] <Guest40473> problem:  i am getting an error from Archive Manager, "tar: unexpected EOF in file"   but i got no error when i created the archive
[01:27] <Guest40473> nothing in dmesg,
[01:27] <Guest40473> is there a way to tell what is wrong with the archive?
[01:27] <rypervenche> Guest40473: How did you create the tar?
[01:27] <Guest40473> "sudo tar -cpjf /media/a6* --exclude=.etc,etc"
[01:27] <Guest40473> er
[01:28] <boothelp> hello
[01:28] <Guest40473> "sudo tar -cpjf /media/FreeAg(snip)/30gig-a6fab.tbz /media/a6f(snip)/ --exclude=/media/a6(snip)*  --exclude=/media/a6(snip)/Desktop/maemo_back*  --exclude=/media/a6(snip)/Desktop/maveri*"
[01:28] <Dmole> whovaresss: are they showing us as hda or sda? are they ntfs? what's the speeds

[01:30] <urlin2u> boothelp, tell us all about it.
[01:30] <Guest40473> i will just run the tar again with -vv or somehting.    it took 30+ minutes to bzip the first 2.7 gigs, though
[01:30] <Guest40473> rypervenche: im just wondering if there is a post-mortem i can do while i wait.. -_-
[01:31] <boothelp> wel iv instaled ubutu, but the extarnal drive ware it was on just gave his life
[01:31] <boothelp> now wen i start the bootloder it shows windows and 2times ubunto

[01:46] <Hot2Trot> does anyone know a good way to make 'ls -la |less' show colors? Some .bashrc alias or something?
[01:46] <jrib> Hot2Trot: less -R
[01:47] <jrib> Hot2Trot: and pass --color=always to ls
[01:48] <szal> jrib: I guess the colours are stripped by less, so you'd need an option for less to show the colours
[01:48] <Hot2Trot> jrib: can you explain in a little more depth? You mean i should make an alias saying less= less --color=always ?
[01:48] <Hot2Trot> also, running 'ls -la |less -R' does not give colors
[01:48] <jrib> Hot2Trot: you would run ls --color=always | less -R
[01:48] <fisix> i'm dual booting ubuntu and windows 7. i'd like to encrypt the windows 7 partition with true crypt, but i'm not sure whether it'll overwrite grub. what do?

[01:55] <ktwohig9> just updated nvidia drivers to get unity working on 11.04....what a PITA. Killed my TV on HDMI. Had to search everywhere for a solution
[01:56] <fr0sted> ktwohig9:  how did you get it working, i had the same issue with dualscreen setup
[01:56] <ktwohig9> had to go to the nvidia x system and configure it as split screen, then make it a clone
[01:56] <jxshxx> Howdy!  So, I put 10.04LTS on a laptop with a dead screen with the intent of using external keyboard/mouse/monitor.  What's buggin' me is that it appears I cannot close the lid once I've turned it on.  The choices in Power Management for "closed lid" are Hibernate, Suspend, Blank Screen and Shut down.  Is there a way to keep it running w/ a closed lid?
[01:57] <fr0sted> ktwohig9:  i used the 185 driver, and it worked for me with no problems
[01:57] <jrib> jxshxx: wouldn't blank screen do that?
[01:57] <new2net> I am trying to set up two PCs like this. http://tinyurl.com/3ugp4w5 . Box 1 is Ubuntu Natty. I thought it would be a simple setup- put the NIC in and go. But that's not the case.  NIC 1 is actually onboard. What else do I need to do? (I need box2 to go thru box1, it can't be put on the router directly)
[01:57] <jrib> jxshxx: oh it blanks the external...
[01:57] <fisix> i'm dual booting ubuntu and windows 7. i'd like to encrypt the windows 7 partition with true crypt, but i'm not sure whether it'll overwrite grub. what do?
[01:57] <jxshxx> right
[01:57] <ktwohig9> fr0sted: I used the following http://askubuntu.com/questions/37269/second-screen-detection/37274#37274
[01:58] <Gredeu> lets do it
[01:58] <NeedWirelessHelp> Running sudo dhclient wlan0          Outputs this: No DHCPOFFERS received            Any ideas?
[01:58] <szal> fisix: hmm, Gnome/Unity/whatever you use must be dumbed down in that respect; KDE also has options 'Sleep' and 'Do nothing'
[01:59] <ktwohig9> I do have to say I really like this Unity setup though
[02:00] <dhacker29> quick question how do I add java to my default path? when I am compiling andriod I have to always add the path from the command line
[02:00] <szal> sorry, I meant to poke jxshxx
[02:00] <Griz64> szal, everything not en_US

[02:02] <jorge_-> here --> Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode ,

[02:03] <bazhang> NeedWirelessHelp, associate with the AP yet?
[02:04] <penos> NeedWirelessHelp, do you have working driver for wireless adapter?
[02:04] <Brite> thanks once again
[02:04] <NeedWirelessHelp> bazhang: not sure what that means
[02:04] <NeedWirelessHelp> penos: yes, I have an XP driver installed and verified by ndiswrapper
[02:04] <jxshxx> Is it in Power Management?  Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? - forgot command to address specific user.  Sorry, please remind me :)

[02:14] <penos> NeedWirelessHelp, is wg311 the name of your driver?
[02:14] <NeedWirelessHelp> penos: yes
[02:15] <penos> NeedWirelessHelp, are you sure the module is loaded? does it turn up when you do lsmod?
[02:16] <NeedWirelessHelp> penos: http://pastebin.com/8RAbTSYL
[02:17] <KPG> Is there a security benefit to using the shred utility to securely wipe a hard drive over simply using the dd command and zero-fillling it or filling it with random data from /dev/random?
[02:18] <penos> NeedWirelessHelp, dude lsmod output has no wg311 listed. that probably means you don't have the driver installed
[02:18] <wildbat> KPG: there is ~ that's y ppl make it
[02:18] <KPG> wildbat: Ok, what specifically is the advantage?

[02:19] <Cai> hi
[02:19] <Cai> anyone here
[02:19] <bazhang> Cai, yes
[02:19] <Cai> bazhang: how can I support chinese in lxde Ubuntu
[02:20] <Guest40473> Archive Manager gives "bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing" again while opening this tar
[02:20] <wildbat> KPG:  make it nearly impossible to recover the data ~ where with zeroing there are some hi-tech equipment to recover the data like in the FBI
[02:20] <bazhang> Cai, support? use the kb? read fonts? please clarify
[02:20] <Guest40473> running tar with -vv still shows no error on creation
[02:20] <Guest40473> checking the file with bzip2 -tvv just says "data integrity (CRC) error in data"  on the last part
[02:20] <KPG> wildbat: Ok, thank you for the help.
[02:21] <penos> NeedWirelessHelp, sorry i'm not familiar with ndiswrapper
[02:21] <Guest40473> last file it tried to add was a symlink.

[02:21] <Cai> bazhang: when I open a website, wrong code

[02:21] <b0nghittr> i need to copy my current ubuntu install which is on a bad clicking drive, onto a larger good drive. can i just make the same partitions on the new drive (/, /boot, and swap), and set the /boot patrtition as bootable in fdisk? or will i need to do something special? thanks.
[02:22] <NeedWirelessHelp> penos: thought that's what I did already....maybe I am doing something wrong?
[02:22] <bazhang> Cai, install the necessary language support packages then from the package manager
[02:22] <penos> NeedWirelessHelp, ok.....

[02:23] <NeedWirelessHelp> penos: this was an upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04.....guess not
[02:23] <b0nghittr> i will have to manually copy over the files while the drive is still working.
[02:23] <wildbat> b0nghittr: you can simply clone the whole drive, fast and easy ~ hassle free
[02:23] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ibus Cai
[02:23] <urlin2u> b0nghittr, use clonezilla
[02:23] <penos> NeedWirelessHelp, maybe try a different driver?
[02:24] <b0nghittr> okay, thanks
[02:24] <NeedWirelessHelp> penos: maybe
[02:25] <penos> NeedWirelessHelp, or try ubuntu 11.4

[02:25] <Cai> bazhang: I have lxde desktop

[02:37] <phong_> is it a good choice to install ubuntu on SSD or just regular SATA drive?
[02:37] <PMantis> Hi guys, fresh VPS with 10.04.1. I install ufw, and I'm getting errors starting the firewall.  "iptables-restore: line 66 failed" and more. 'ufw reset' didn't help. Ideas?
[02:37] <billybigrigger> new2net, you need to setup a bridged connection between nic1 and 2
[02:37] <new2net> Mean_Admin: I installed uhh.. MyPaint using Ubuntu Software Center, it was a team effort.
[02:37] <phong_> anyone of you give me good suggestion?
[02:37] <phong_> your help is appreciated.
[02:37] <billybigrigger> new2net, you probably need a bing long boring IPTABLES line, :) google is your friend on that one
[02:37] <Mean_Admin> new2net: you have to enable forwarding in ubuntu if you intend Box1 to bridge NIC1 and NIC2
[02:38] <urlin2u> phong_, yeah don't vampire the channel.
[02:38] <phong_> urlin2u, what
[02:38] <wildbat> !ics | new2net: OMG you need to learn some drawing too :>

[02:38] <pooltable> ok what do i need to do the share info fome ubuntu to windows 7 ??
[02:38] <phong_> Mean_Admin, currently i install windows ...do you think i should have another SSD for ubuntu>?
[02:38] <pooltable> from
[02:39] <Mean_Admin> phong_: you can simply dual-boot on the same drive
[02:39] <Mean_Admin> phong_: unless it's super small
[02:39] <phong_> i have 80GB intel ssd
[02:39] <Mean_Admin> phong_: that is, unless you don't have enough space left on it
[02:39] <phong_> how much space does it needs?
[02:39] <Mean_Admin> phong_: I've lived with 10GB
[02:39] <Mean_Admin> phong_: but probably less
[02:40] <phong_> 10?
[02:40] <phong_> wow
[02:40] <phong_> what if i need more..can it be done adjust the space?
[02:40] <Mean_Admin> phong_: my case was some time ago, I don't know today but I'm assuming 10GB is enough
[02:40] <Mean_Admin> phong_: you can adjust afterwards, yes
[02:40] <phong_> cool
[02:40] <phong_> well how to install it?
[02:41] <Mean_Admin> phong_: although _I_ have never really done it myself
[02:41] <phong_> currently i have windows
[02:41] <new2net> wildbat, billybigrigger, Mean_Admin: thank you. That should be more than enough info to get started.
[02:41] <phong_> do i need to partition somethign?
[02:41] <Mean_Admin> new2net: pleasre, good luck, you may want to try ##networking also, never know..
[02:41] <Mean_Admin> phong_: well, you have to burn the Ubuntu LiveCD
[02:41] <urlin2u> phong_, you were on here days ago talking about ubuntu you know how.
[02:41] <phong_> and will it messup my windows boot?
[02:41] <weecol> dual boot
[02:42] <Mean_Admin> phong_: then you boot off the CD and Ubuntu will guide you with a wizard and ask you how much space you want to give it
[02:42] <ArseneRei> Does anyone use xterm or urxvt on ubuntu? I'm trying to get custom fonts and I haven't found anything on google.
[02:42] <phong_> ok thanks
[02:42] <rww> !xterm
[02:42] <Mean_Admin> phong_: it's visual, no command line
[02:42] <phong_> ok thanks Mean_Admin
[02:42] <PMantis> ufw issue on a VPS:  http://pastebin.com/Dw0Fg606
[02:42] <ktwohig9> phong_: or you can go to http://www.ubuntu.com/download and just use the one that says Run it with Windows
[02:43] <Mean_Admin> phong_: it won't mess up with Windows; when you boot the computer, you'll be asked whether you want to boot Ubuntu or Windows
[02:43] <Mean_Admin> ktwohig9: I hear Wubi si problematic
[02:43] <phong_> ok
[02:43] <ArseneRei> rww: Alright, thanks.
[02:43] <ktwohig9> Mine has been good for over a week now
[02:43] <Mean_Admin> ktwohig9: good :)
[02:43] <dr-willis> wubi can be problematic. phong_  use wuth caution
[02:43] <weecol> any other problems i can solve here
[02:44] <Mean_Admin> phong_: just burn a livecd of Ubuntu
[02:44] <ktwohig9> yeah i can only speak on my experience with it, which is very limited
[02:44] <Mean_Admin> phong_: you can even try it without installing it
[02:44] <dr-willis> id rather use ubuntu in vbox then use wubi
[02:45] <ktwohig9> Only real issue I have come up with is the audio over HDMI not working
[02:45] <urlin2u> ktwohig9, you might want to read what the designer says about what wubi was designed fro. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/
[02:46] <dr-willis> hdmi audio wiuld not be a wubi specific issue i would think.
[02:46] <ktwohig9> cool thanks
[02:46] <fr0sted> yo, anyone got an idea where the icons are saved for apps within unity ? i want to change them to custom icons you see
[02:47] <Ubuntu1> Hi
[02:47] <ktwohig9> urlin2u: So it's pretty much just a trial launcher
[02:48] <urlin2u> ktwohig9, yeah, can be moved to a partion though.
[02:48] <ktwohig9> Funny, I keep thinking of doing the full install. That kinda seals the deal for me
[02:48] <urlin2u> ktwohig9, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354
[02:49] <Ubuntu1> Does anyone have Nvidia Screen flickering issues? on Ubuntu 11.04
[02:49] <mrjbar> what is the Unity 2D shortcut key for doing expose? In Unity 3D it's super + w, but that doesn't work in Unity 2D.
[02:50] <fr0sted> Ubuntu1: no sorry, im using the 185 version driver though, as it works with unity very well
[02:50] <fr0sted> for dualscreen
[02:50] <fr0sted>  anyone got an idea where the icons are saved for apps within unity ?
[02:50] <fr0sted> for the launcher
[02:50] <bazhang> mrjbar, clicking the workspaces?
[02:50] <ktwohig9> urlin2u: Migrating it would still leave it as Wubi, which means it could still be prone to issues right?
[02:50] <sizzers> has anyone here every joined a linux machine to a windows domain?
[02:51] <urlin2u> ktwohig9, no it is a install then.
[02:51] <Kronsby> hello
[02:51] <mrjbar> bazhang, I mean just exposing the windows and not the workspaces
[02:52] <Ubuntu1> Fr0sted, Thanks anyway but Still can't resolve the issue? Whenever the CPU goes to high flickers, but does anyone know how to keep the Nvidia compiz settings to maximum performance
[02:52] <qin> mrjbar: It is compiz feature.
[02:52] <ktwohig9> urlin2u: ah ok then, thanks for the heads up on that
[02:52] <fr0sted> Ubuntu1: ye man you go to the nvidia x server ( settings ) and change it in there, click from quality to performance
[02:52] <urlin2u> ktwohig9, no problem.
[02:52] <bazhang> mrjbar, in unity-2d clicking that shows all the windows presently up
[02:53] <ktwohig9> looks like I know what i am doing in the AM
[02:53] <bazhang> qin, he's talking abou t the feature in unity-2d
[02:53] <Ubuntu1> Fr0sted, Ok, well I have tried that before in Ubuntu 11.04 but doesn't seem to save after rebooting the system is there any chance of fixing that?
[02:54] <fr0sted> Ubuntu1:  yes you need to save the changes tothe conf file, sudo su to gain root privs then write save configuration file
[02:54] <fr0sted> also try removing the driver you have and use the package manager to install 185
[02:54] <fr0sted> worked a treat for me
[02:54] <bazhang> fr0sted, sudo or sudo -i   never sudo su
[02:55] <dr-willis> dont use sudo su.  try sudo -s  ;)
[02:55] <Ubuntu1> Ok
[02:55] <Krawnsbie> why sudo -i?
[02:55] <dr-willis> or -i  ;(
[02:55] <usr13> because it's cheaper
[02:55] <Krawnsbie> fair enough
[02:57] <Mean_Admin> why not   sudo su   ?
[02:57] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo Mean_Admin
[02:58] <usr13> because it's cheaper - fewer key stokes - less typing - it's the recommended method  ;)
[02:58] <Krawnsbie> it is the same amount of keystrokes...
[02:58] <Khisanth> and one of them is the same :)
[02:58] <usr13> fewer pixels
[02:59] <Krawnsbie> hahaha not my pixels!
[02:59] <Mean_Admin> bazhang: reading a little of that and the manpage, Im not sure why you'd use sudo -i besides for the environment variables
[03:00] <usr13> Well never mind.  sudo su - root
[03:00] <Krawnsbie> the only thing I can think of is to stay in the habit of using that
[03:00] <Krawnsbie> it is good to know both
[03:00] <usr13> From now on that is the recommended method.  Ok?
[03:00] <bazhang> usr13, no stop that
[03:01] <Krawnsbie> yes massa
[03:01] <usr13> bazhang: So what are we?  A bunch of sea-lawyers?
[03:01] <ktwohig9> so pretty much someone like myself with little experience in linux should never sudo su?
[03:02] <Mean_Admin> ktwohig9: the advice I was given is just use 'sudo' and not keep superpowers
[03:02] <bazhang> ktwohig9, the ubuntu method is sudo, yes.
[03:02] <dr-willis> ktwohig9:  correct
[03:02] <ktwohig9> ok, I will remember that. thanks folks
[03:02] <Krawnsbie> is this a place to ask questions with problems we have or am i going to be yelled at saying this is not google
[03:02] <usr13> ktwohig9: Correct.  It is a dangerous command that should be  used with caution.
[03:02] <bazhang> Krawnsbie, this is the very place
[03:02] <Mean_Admin> Krawnsbie: try
[03:03] <mukti> How hot is too hot for a laptop CPU? I just ran acpi -V and saw my CPU was running at 82 degrees C...
[03:03] <wildbat> mukti: that's way tooo hot
[03:03] <ktwohig9> too hot
[03:03] <Mean_Admin> mukti: start blowing on it
[03:03] <rww> no it isn't :\
[03:03] <Krawnsbie> Codeblocks keeps saying that I do not have the permission to run my code How do I edit permissions
[03:03] <wildbat> mukti CPU > 70C is unacceptable.
[03:04] <wildbat> mukti: 75C is the highest it should ever be .
[03:04] <rww> wildbat: depends what precisely it's measuring
[03:04] <rww> e.g. on my desktop, there are two sets of sensors. one should be < 72, the other should be < 100
[03:04] <MonkeyDust> 46°C here
[03:04] <rww> but anyway, you should be using lm-sensors :\
[03:04] <wildbat> rww: of coz, assuming the sensor is working ;p
[03:04] <ktwohig9> mukti - is that idle or under load?
[03:04] <mukti> rww: how do I know what censors I'm runing?
[03:05] <mukti> ktwohig9: I just started running skype
[03:05] <rww> !lm-sensors
[03:05] <rww> mukti: use that instead, it's more informative ^
[03:08] <Krawnsbie> Codeblocks keeps saying that I do not have the permission to run my code How do I edit permissions
[03:08] <cab938_dt> I want to boot to a usb key, but I would prefer if the key was not fat32, suggestions?
[03:09] <debugnet> Krawnsbie: chmod command. if you use the GUI, right click and properties.
[03:09] <Krawnsbie> Thanks :D
[03:09] <cab938_dt> The startup disk creator eats whatever is there and drops as fat32, so I get max 4gb files
[03:09] <urlin2u> cab938_dt, boot what?
[03:09] <cab938_dt> Just the 1104 startup disk
[03:10] <cab938_dt> so I can have a casper environment and run from machine to machine with it
[03:10] <cab938_dt> It's a 16gb key I'm using
[03:10] <urlin2u> cab938_dt, do a full install.
[03:10] <jA_cOp> Where is librt located? What is typically linked when I pass -lrt to gcc?
[03:11] <cab938_dt> So I did that, and first I partitioned the key into two disks, an ext3 and a ntfs, thinking "haha, I am so smart, now I can use part of the key in windows too"
[03:11] <cab938_dt> but my laptop, which would boot from the startup disk created key, would not boot from this one
[03:11] <cab938_dt> and windows had no idea what the key was
[03:11] <cab938_dt> don't know if the arrangement of partitions mattered, the ext3 one was first
[03:11] <urlin2u> cab938_dt, ypou put the ntfs at the front of the thumb.
[03:12] <cab938_dt> I didn't, do I need to?
[03:12] <mukti> rww: this is the output from running "sensors" http://paste.ubuntu.com/680970/
[03:12] <cab938_dt> ubuntu can see them both, fwiw
[03:12] <urlin2u> cab938_dt, yes and just do a full install the casper will fill up, and is pretty much impossible to clean.
[03:12] <jA_cOp> "ls /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib32 | grep rt" doesn't yield any form of librt for me :(
[03:12] <new2net> billybigrigger: I'm having trouble getting from seeing the NIC in the output of new2net@box2~: lshw to having the NIC get called eth1 in ifconfig ~_~
[03:13] <rww> mukti: I don't have WWW access right now, sorry. Perhaps someone else can help.
[03:13] <cab938_dt> urist, so ntfs in the first location, then a full install on the ntfs drive?  or onto the ext3 in the second partition?
[03:14] <urlin2u> cab938_dt, ntfs first, ubuntu will only install to a ext type use ext4
[03:14] <mukti> rww: The fan is running at 3515 RPM and the two adapter sensors are running at 70 and 78 degrees C
[03:14] <Krawnsbie> where is permissions located?
[03:14] <cab938_dt> urlin2u, ok, is there anything special i need to do to make sure i can boot from the ext part?  I don't understand why the laptop won't boot from it right now
[03:15] <ktwohig9> mukti: my opinion is all 3 temps are too high. Is there onyl 1 fan in that case?
[03:15] <Surlent777> hi everyone; I'm finding that all of a sudden my laptop's microphone isn't being detected by KDE or by the GNOME Control Centre, yet it worked previously. The only major thing I can recall changing is doing a BIOS upgrade whilst maintaining the Windows 7 install on the other partition, but the microphone works as expected there. Curiously, it does seem to show up in alsamixer, but gnome-sound-recorder doesn't recognize it. Any ideas?
[03:16] <dorigentoo> hi
[03:16] <mukti> ktwohig9: I believe so, its a (1 week old) Thinkpad T420
[03:17] <dorigentoo> Does someone know how to do a grep regex which will exclude all lines having a 0 ?
[03:17] <urlin2u> cab938_dt, you have to install the grub bootloader to  the thumb, use the something else option in the install where asked where the install goes, there is a dropdown there to choose where grub goes, to the thumbs mbnr which has no partition numbers for example sdb.
[03:17] <urlin2u> mbr
[03:17] <ktwohig9> mukti: ah ok it's a laptop. If it were me, i would call the place you bought it from and demand a replacement
[03:17] <cab938_dt> urlin2u, ok, I'll give it a wing
[03:17] <debugnet> dorigentoo: use the -v option in any grep command to exlude matches.
[03:17] <cab938_dt> tyvm
[03:17] <mukti> ktwohig9: really?
[03:18] <ktwohig9> my sony F series I7 runs max under load 62C
[03:18] <dorigentoo> thx debugnet :)
[03:19] <ktwohig9> Mukti: yep, otherwise you will definately need to start thinking of some cooling solutions for it
[03:19] <ktwohig9> but to me, right out of the box it should not go that high
[03:19] <debugnet> dorigentoo: np
[03:19] <mukti> ktwohig9: it doesn't usually, I think it might have been skype (beta)
[03:19] <emgels> hola a todos
[03:20] <bazhang> !es | emgels
[03:20] <emgels> quien me puede a alludar con mi compiz
[03:20] <mukti> ktwohig9: usually its cool and quiet; but when I ran skype, it got extremely hot, and I could hear the fan blowing
[03:20] <ktwohig9> mukti: whne you got those readings you posted was it running skype still?
[03:20] <mukti> yes
[03:20] <splitpaw-mobile> hi
[03:20] <bazhang> emgels, english , #compiz
[03:20] <mukti> i just closed it
[03:20] <emgels> ok
[03:20] <ktwohig9> ok run the test again
[03:21] <mukti> 72 and 79
[03:21] <dorigentoo> debugnet, actually my grep is really weird :(  I wanted to search for the string "font-family" in all files in my dir (which I normally do with grep -r "font-family" *). But here, it returned every files, even those which don't contain the string. I tried "grep -cr "font-family" *|egrep -v 0" to count the number of occurences, and I get a bunch of results, but still if I vim into on of the files and search for font-family, I can't find it. D
[03:21] <dorigentoo> id you ever see this problem before ?
[03:21] <mukti> ktwohig9: hold on, I'll be right back
[03:21] <ktwohig9> then it isnt skype
[03:22] <ktwohig9> ok
[03:22] <new2net> My 2nd network card is not detected by "lshw -c net", but it has power.... what?!?
[03:22] <debugnet> dorigentoo: grep -iR 'font-family' .
[03:23] <dorigentoo> erf it works
[03:23] <debugnet> dorigentoo: or maybe grep -iR 'font*.family' . where . is the directory you are in so change as necessary
[03:24] <dorigentoo> I'll read the doc trying to figure out why this i option is mandatory. Thank you very much, you're very helpful
[03:25] <debugnet> dorigentoo: i option is for case INsensitive so that files with Caps at the beginning of words are included as well
[03:25] <debugnet> dorigentoo: btw, it was the cap R option that does 'recursive' directory searches
[03:25] <dorigentoo> yes I was wrong with the lowercase one
[03:26] <dorigentoo> ok thanks
[03:27] <TheNerevar> How do I install a serial mouse in ubuntu?
[03:28] <urlin2u> TheNerevar, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[03:29] <TheNerevar> urlin2u: thank you
[03:29] <Surlent777> okay, turns out that changing the Audio Profile in GNOME Contrl Centre from Audio Output Analog to Analog 4.0 + Input was enough to do the trick. No idea how that got switched around, but whatever.
[03:29] <Surlent777> s/Contrl/Control
[03:29] <Surlent777> thanks anyway
[03:30] <urlin2u> TheNerevar, don't thanl me to soon eh.
[03:32] <Phong_> i can't install ubuntu why?
[03:32] <Phong_> it said something about busybox
[03:32] <Phong_> then type 'help' for help
[03:32] <Phong_> something wrong with ubuntu?
[03:33] <Hypershock> what method did you use to install ubuntu? which version? which medium?
[03:34] <Phong_> 11.04
[03:34] <Phong_> x64 bit
[03:34] <Phong_> weird
[03:34] <Phong_> will it handle by i7 2600k?
[03:34] <Josesordo> hello all, who knows a lot of Web programming and security (specially in wordpress) ??
[03:35] <rww> Josesordo: you may find #wordpress helpful
[03:35] <Hypershock> Phong_, what are you machines specs?
[03:35] <urlin2u> !ask | Josesordo
[03:35] <Phong_> Hypershock, i7 2600k 12RAM
[03:35] <Phong_> 80GB SSD intel
[03:35] <Josesordo> rww, thanks =)
[03:36] <Hypershock> are you installing from a dvd or a bootable usb?
[03:36] <lo-fi_> so when running wpa_supplicant it says no wpa skip, but there is a wpa, and ive set the wep key in the config
[03:36] <Phong_> Hypershock, CD or DVD
[03:36] <lo-fi_> any ideas?
[03:36] <decio> I tried to do a stupid thing. I tried to install a liveCD in a SD Card and now I can't format the volume or delete the files in it. Can someone help me formating the volume, is it anyway to force it?
[03:37] <Hypershock> ok, so you mean you tried both then
[03:37] <Phong_> yes
[03:37] <mukti> okay, sorry I forgot who I was talking too a few minutes ago, but I'm back
[03:37] <ktwohig9> mukti: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1748475
[03:37] <Hypershock> ok, now try the one you don't want to try, the standard 32bit one, it'll install a pae kernel so you won't loose access to your ram
[03:38] <wildbat> Q: ~ is there something that can make SSD and HHD to work together as if it is a single hybird drive :>
[03:38] <Hypershock> in fact it'll run better too as x64 is still experimental
[03:38] <Phong_> Hypershock, come on man, i want x64
[03:38] <Phong_> x64 will handle more RAM
[03:38] <Polah> Hypershock: PAE isn't a very good substitude for 64-bit.
[03:38] <Polah> Phong_: What problems are you having?
[03:39] <Phong_> Polah, i can't install ubuntu x64 11.04
[03:39] <decio> without 64 bit each app can only access 4GB of RAM
[03:39] <Polah> Phong_: Yes but why not? What happens when you try?
[03:39] <Phong_> when boot, ...and later on....i got busybox 1.7....
[03:39] <lo-fi_> is there anyone who can help me with spa_supplicant?
[03:39] <lo-fi_> wpa_supplicant*
[03:39] <Phong_> then next line is:   type 'help' bla bla
[03:39] <debugnet> wildbat: RAID is probably what you are going to want but it will probably be difficult as hell to setup since you will have to do software RAID instead of hardware RAID
[03:39] <Phong_> Polah, then it said, can't find live cd
[03:39] <Phong_> information
[03:40] <decio> Phong, how many times did you try to install it?
[03:40] <Polah> decio: 3.2GB of RAM is all the system can use, 4 billion or so address spaces. PAE gives 64GB and 64-bit is 16EB or some other huge number
[03:40] <Polah> Phong_: Have you checked the md5sum of the ISO you have, and burned the disc at a slow speed then verified to make sure it's a proper burn?
[03:41] <TheNerevar> urlin2u: It works thank you very much.
[03:41] <mukti> ktwohig9: post #3 talks about how to get thinkfan working, but I'm not sure how to add kernel modules
[03:41] <Phong_> ok i'll try that
[03:41] <urlin2u> TheNerevar, cool. :D
[03:41] <Polah> !md5sum | Phong_
[03:41] <wildbat> debugent, i doubt it ~ how md RAID put frequently use data to SSD only , and have the size of the HDD .
[03:42] <Polah> Phong_: md5sum your ISO and find the matching hash on those pages, if it doesn't match then your ISO is corrupt or incomplete and you'll have to redownload and reburn it. If it does match, boot the LiveCD, hold shift during boot and then select "Verify disc integrity" (or something along those lines) from the menu it gives you
[03:42] <mukti> ktwohig9: also, the sensors are currently at 46 and 45 degrees celcius
[03:42] <decio> You have to do md5sum to check if the files on you liveCD are the correct ones.
[03:42] <debugnet> wildbat: current technology doesn't have anything designed around that although you could mount the two drives in such a way that certain files are on one and others are on the SSD that are usually read-only.
[03:43] <decio> I tried to do a stupid thing. I tried to install a liveCD in a SD Card and now I can't format the volume or delete the files in it. Can someone help me formating the volume, is it anyway to force it?
[03:43] <penos> decio, hahaha
[03:43] <TheNerevar> decio: Do you have something like a Palm or a phone or something along those lines to put it in?
[03:43] <debugnet> wildbat: i would have the SSD as the boot drive and mount theh normal HD to another folder and have sim links to all the folders that will keep the data you don't want on the SSD on the normal drive
[03:43] <Polah> decio: SD cards have the little switches that stop writing to them when they're enabled? Check the switch is in the unlocked position.
[03:44] <ktwohig9> Mukti: Ok well the temps sound MUCH better. As far as installing kernal modules, that is beyond me
[03:45] <mukti> ktwohig9: okay, thanks
[03:45] <ktwohig9> no probelm and good luck
[03:45] <decio> Polah, OMG, i didn't remember!!! lol.  :D
[03:47] <wildbat> debugnet: i know :) ~ but a feature nice to have ~ and so motherboard start offer similar feature but Win's drive only
[03:47] <wildbat> s/so/some
[03:47] <Datz> hi, I was wondering if there is a problem with teh applet invest. Whenever I try to add it to the gnome panel, nothing happens
[03:47] <decio> urlin2u, seriously, I am so tired that I didn't even think on that
[03:48] <urlin2u> decio, it happens.
[03:48] <Datz> Does anyone else use the invest appelt, or could someone try and load it to see what happens?
[03:48] <Datz> applet*
[03:49] <decio> urlin2u, yeah but, I didn't figure it out then, I google it (didn't find anything) and then I did go to a IRC channel to remember me that SD cards lave to be unlocked in order to change their content.... I need to sleep
[03:50] <decio> have*
[03:50] <debugnet> wildbat: that would be nice...
[03:51] <decio> what do you guys think of the idea of the menu on ubuntu 11.10 be on the dock?
[03:52] <rww> decio: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric discussion, please :)
[03:52] <wildbat> debugnet: that why i am asking... :) a small 32GB SSD can give a 5400rpm  drive a huge speed up and spin down more often :> fast and green :>
[03:53] <debugnet> wildbat: got a scenario that you're thinking of that could give me an idea of what you are trying to accomplish and maybe i could 'spin it'?
[03:55] <wildbat> debugnet: hehe why not :>
[03:58] <lo-fi_> so im runnign wpa_supplicant and its on scan update 40, is this normal?
[03:59] <MrUbiquitous> Where can I get questions answered as a noob about Ubuntu?
[03:59] <bazhang> MrUbiquitous, here
[03:59] <MrUbiquitous> Cool.
[04:00] <MrUbiquitous> I have a quick question. Maybe this cannot be answered here, I was banned from the Ubuntu forums 15pts for supposed spam. I have no idea why. Does this sometimes happen by mistake? I only made one post and it was a help question.
[04:00] <bazhang> MrUbiquitous, try #ubuntuforums perhaps
[04:01] <MrUbiquitous> thx!
[04:01] <stupididot> i can haz helps?
[04:01] <bazhang> stupididot, ask first
[04:01] <stupididot> my sound isn't working, just installed ubuntu 11.
[04:03] <stupididot> i think i haz realtek audio. that's what i had on teh windoez.
[04:03] <Singham> hi...till 10.04,the videos which I used to watch on youtube.com were saved in tmp folder.In 10.10 they arent stored there..where are they stored ?
[04:04] <urlin2u> Singham, not sure, but the firefox add-on video downloadhelper will take care of it.
[04:05] <urlin2u> or minitube
[04:05] <stupididot> there are some sites that convert youtube to flv or avi online too, haven't checked them out in a while though.
[04:06] <urlin2u> the downloadhelper converts on the fly stupididot
[04:06] <stupididot> oh.
[04:07] <stupididot> so the addon does it itself?
[04:07] <stupididot> or does it use a service?
[04:07] <urlin2u> stupididot, you can set it up to not sure which formats though.
[04:07] <debugnet> Singham: are you using firefox? if so you can check the preferences to see what the download folder is set to.
[04:07] <bazhang> urlin2u, mp4
[04:07] <luigi> I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask, but I'm using icecast on my Ubuntu server and I'm having some major streaming issues when streaming from it.
[04:08] <urlin2u> bazhang, that makes sense.
 : What to check in preferences ?
[04:09] <luigi> There's a delay of three seconds or so in between songs that crossfade gracefully, which I would expect from a network stream, but when I skip a track or seek in a song, the stream just stops.
[04:09] <luigi> I'm running mpd as the backend.
[04:09] <stupididot> its 5am, i should proberbly go to bed. does anyone know how i can fix mah audios?
[04:10] <luigi> stupididot: sudo lspci -v and paste output to a pastebin
[04:10] <luigi> That way we'll know your exact audio card.
[04:11] <stupididot> where do i paste that? im such a noob :(
[04:11] <Morgz> stupididot - can use pastie.org
[04:11] <debugnet> Singham: save files to box should have a folder input there, you can usually check the check box next to it and input a folder of your choice then set it to manual so it always asks where to save (obviously that is your option). btw, what are you using to save youtube videos? firefox usually have a temp folder in your home~/.mozilla/firefox/????????.default/Cache folder where the ?'s are random.
[04:12] <Morgz> stupididot or pastebin.com as suggested
[04:15] <stupididot> I don't get it, do i paste "sudo lspci -v" in the terminal. sorry for asking idiotic questions.
[04:15] <stupididot> it does not work.
[04:16] <debugnet> stupididot: middle mouse to paste?
[04:16] <Singham> debugnet : Thanks but the video I just watched is not playing when I tried to play it from the .default folder..
[04:17] <debugnet> Singham: not sure if i answered your question...welcome though.
[04:17] <StanleyPTP> Anyone can help me with Impress sound effects problem in Ubuntu. It only happens in Ubuntu.
[04:17] <stupididot> oh it works, heres what it gaves to me. http://pastie.org/2474434
 :Thanks dude..its working.....:)
[04:19] <luigi> stupididot: http://hardc0l2e.wordpress.com/2011/04/25/vt1708a-workaround-for-ubuntu-10-10/
[04:19] <zhenzhen> ~~~
[04:20] <luigi> This applies to you, stupididot, and may help. It just involves adding a harmless (but perhaps helpful!) parameter to the boot line. You'll want to use gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub however, since vi has only two modes: beep and break everything
[04:20] <miraenvigado> hello everyone
[04:21] <stupididot> uuuh... :o .. this is like my second time using ubuntu, didn't get half of that. lol
[04:21] <luigi> stupididot: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub in the command line
[04:21] <miraenvigado> Could someone give me a hand?
[04:21] <StanleyPTP> Anyone has a sound problem with Impress and Ubuntu?
[04:21] <debugnet> miraenvigado: whatcha got?
[04:22] <luigi> stupididot: Modify the file so that this line looks like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash pci=use_crs”
[04:22] <luigi> stupididot: You're adding the pci=use_crs bit to what's already there.
[04:23] <luigi> stupididot: Then save the file (Ctrl+S) and quit the program (Alt+F4). Paste "sudo update-grub" into the terminal, and then reboot.
[04:23] <luigi> With any luck, you'll be hearing sounds in no time
[04:23] <wildbat> what pci=use_crs do ?
[04:24] <StanleyPTP> Combination of Impress + Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 = sound effects problem. Any one can help?
[04:24] <luigi> wildbat: It seems to solve some bug related to VIA1708/A audio chipsets.
[04:25] <miraenvigado> I've got a problem with my acer travelmate 2200
[04:25] <almoxarife> luigi: you put the "?" instead of double quote? or I am seeing something
[04:25] <miraenvigado> who can give me a hand?
[04:25] <stupididot> do i restart now?
[04:25] <bazhang> miraenvigado, ask a real question
[04:25] <stupididot> i think its changed.
[04:26] <luigi> almoxarife: You might be seeing things...
[04:26] <luigi> stupididot: You ran sudo update-grub?
[04:26] <luigi> If so, reboot.
[04:26] <jewles> anyone familure with landscape? curious to see if anyone uses it / like it/ finds it useful waste etc...
[04:26] <luigi> jewles: I consider it useless, to be honest. But I only have two Ubuntu servers to manage.
[04:26] <miraenvigado> I install xubuntu 10.10 in a acer travelmate 2200, but i can not install the wireless driver
[04:27] <luigi> Yet when you're on a large scale, you just get AC2...
[04:27] <bazhang> miraenvigado, whats the chipset
[04:27] <jewles> i have 8
[04:27] <luigi> What do you need it for?
[04:27] <miraenvigado> i don't know
[04:27] <jewles> i don't know if I do...
[04:27] <luigi> miraenvigado: sudo lspci -v
[04:27] <jewles> i did a demo, and it seem useless
[04:27] <jewles> but i figured maybe i did something wrong
[04:27] <stupididot> gonna reboot now. wish me luck. brb
[04:27] <luigi> miraenvigado: Copy and paste the output into pastie.org and give us the link
[04:28] <StanleyPTP> Ubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 11.04 pulse audio system seems to play sound from Impress too fast (too short) making the sound effect sounded very funny. Anyone can help?
[04:28] <miraenvigado> 02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)

[04:28] <FloodBot1> miraenvigado: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:28] <luigi> miraenvigado: Or, since you have no internet on the computer, put it in a text file on a flash drive, and then open it on a computer with internet.
[04:28] <miraenvigado> 	Kernel driver in use: 8139too
[04:29] <luigi> miraenvigado: You don't paste ~2 lines into the channel.
[04:29] <luigi> Now you've been muted, and only an op can help you.
[04:29] <luigi> StanleyPTP: Sounds like a sampling rate error.
[04:29] <miraenvigado> sorry, what should i do?
[04:30] <luigi> Make sure everything is set to 44.1 kHz in impulse.
[04:30] <luigi> miraenvigado: Use paste.ubuntu.com to paste the output and give us the link
[04:32] <miraenvigado> http://paste.ubuntu.com/680994/
[04:32] <StanleyPTP> luigi: The funny thing is when there a background sound, and animation, thus slowing the system down. The sound effect sound much better.
[04:33] <StanleyPTP> luigi: the "sound funny", I mean the sound is cut off too early before it has the time to make a full sound
[04:33] <luigi> StanleyPTP: So you'd hear 1 second of a 2 second sound, you mean?
[04:33] <luigi> Like that?
[04:33] <luigi> Not a sound that is too high or too low in pitch than what you want?
[04:34] <StanleyPTP> luigi:yes, i think it is miliseconds rather than a second
[04:34] <miraenvigado> http://paste.ubuntu.com/680994/
[04:34] <StanleyPTP> luigi: it sound like normal but cut off too soon.
[04:35] <luigi> StanleyPTP: Are you using digital audio? Or is it using a normal 3.5 mm jack to output sound to speakers?
[04:35] <StanleyPTP> luigi: I'm using the normal analogue output. The green one.
[04:35] <StanleyPTP> luigi: fyi, i tried using many different computers. it is the same
[04:36] <jewles> if i wanted to allow people to run ircd on ubuntu server... how can i restirct them to one IP? without using jails
[04:36] <luigi> StanleyPTP: It's an issue with the software then, ofc. Is it a multi-platform program? Can you try it on Windows?
[04:36] <usr13> miraenvigado: Is this a laptop?
[04:36] <luigi> jewles: One IP outbound or inbound?
[04:36] <lo-fi_> hey so ive been having trouble with wpa_supplicant all day today, i've made a forum post explaining hopefuly enough of my problem, would anyone mind taking a look at it?
[04:37] <StanleyPTP> luigi: Impress (openoffice 3.3) make proper sound on Windows after re-path of sound effect.
[04:37] <jewles> only inbound
[04:37] <luigi> StanleyPTP: Does it always make proper sound?
[04:37] <jewles> outbound traffic shouldn't matter
[04:37] <StanleyPTP> luigi: the reason I ask in here is that I think it has something to do with ubuntu sound system - pulse audio
[04:37] <usr13> miraenvigado: Your WiFi card must be  RTL-8139  (although it's not identified as such).  Is that it?  What does  iwconfig  say?
[04:38] <luigi> jewles: You won't be able to do it easily, then. Ask in ##networking if you'd like someone with more experience in that area to help you out.
[04:38] <luigi> StanleyPTP: PulseAudio is quite terrible sometimes. I'm not a big fan of it.
[04:38] <jewles> i suppose if i owned... <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>... i wouldn't want someone putting listen *:6667; in their config and bind all IPs
[04:39] <luigi> So yes, it is something to do with pulseaudio if it works in windows and the problem bridges multiple computers.
[04:39] <luigi> StanleyPTP: Submit a bug report.
[04:39] <jewles> i will ask
[04:39] <luigi> Oh wait
[04:39] <usr13> luigi: Sometimes it works great, sometimes not so great.
[04:39] <luigi> jewles: Here's an idea. Force the ircds to be run on localhost only, and force the users to use ssh tunnels to connect to it.
[04:40] <usr13> luigi: But you can just un-install it.
[04:40] <luigi> jewles: Limit ssh to only one remote session at a time, problem solved.
[04:40] <StanleyPTP> luigi: looking at the sound preference, applications tab, it displayed the background sound (continuous) then the sound effect which appears and disappear very fast.
[04:40] <luigi> usr13: I'm planning on switching to OSS sometime soon myself.
[04:40] <miraenvigado> http://paste.ubuntu.com/680999/
[04:40] <luigi> StanleyPTP: Submit a bug report.
[04:40] <usr13> luigi: Just uninstall pulseaudio
[04:40] <luigi> usr13: I'm not on ubuntu.
[04:41] <miraenvigado> iwconfig said
[04:41] <usr13> o
[04:41] <jewles> if they are running an ircd it runs in the background
[04:41] <luigi> Guest33138: Good job.
[04:41] <luigi> Nope.
[04:41] <StanleyPTP> luigi: then what should I use for the sound server?
[04:41]  * FloodBot5 Sets mode to +n
[04:41] <luigi> jewles: Yes, but it can still be restricted to localhost.
[04:41] <usr13> miraenvigado: Are you using 11.04 ?
[04:41] <almoxarife> miraenvigado: see http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/ipn2220-inprocomm-%3A/ <-- yes its in german, chrome will translate, you seem to have a real lemon of a wifi card
[04:42] <miraenvigado> no 10.04 xubuntu
[04:42] <rww> FloodBot5: Imitating bots is a good way to get removed from the channel. I strongly recommend not doing it.
[04:42] <luigi> StanleyPTP: ALSA works.
 : ok
[04:43] <stupididiot> just came back to say thanks for the advice. it worked.
[04:43] <stupididiot> <3
[04:43] <FloodBot5> rww but I am not a bot..
[04:43] <rww> FloodBot5: you should probably pick a nick that doesn't imitate our bots', then
[04:43] <luigi> FloodBot5: Your nick is that because you want to pretend that you are related to FloodBot1, 2, 3, etc.
[04:43] <StanleyPTP> luigi: will openoffice/libreoffice work with ALSA?
[04:44] <luigi> StanleyPTP: Almost everything will work with ALSA.
[04:44] <stupididiot> anyway, its getting close to 6am now. i'm gonna get some zzz's. continue being awesome guys, even to noobs like me. :)
[04:44] <stupididiot> peace out.
[04:44] <luigi> StanleyPTP: Just uninstall pulseaudio, and you'll be using ALSA. At least I'm pretty sure
[04:44] <Hello> is it ok ?
[04:45] <StanleyPTP> luigi: will uninstalling pulseaudio break my Ubuntu?
[04:45] <bazhang> Hello, support question?
[04:45] <lo-fi_> is there anyone who can help me with wpa_supplicant?
[04:45] <luigi> StanleyPTP: No.
[04:45] <luigi> PulseAudio is a gnome-thing that lets users set volume levels independently for each program.
[04:45] <luigi> It does other things too, but that's one of the big things.
[04:46] <StanleyPTP> luigi: will it be possible to just modify the openoffice/libreoffice to use ALSA instead of the default sound server?
[04:46] <luigi> No.
[04:46] <Polah> luigi: It's not a gnome-thing. It's a sound server for handling input/output, generally on top of ALSA
[04:46] <luigi> Polah: It's pulled in by gnome though.
[04:46] <miraenvigado> sorry, but i didn't find an answer
[04:47] <luigi> Polah: Vanilla gnome is packaged with pulse, last I checked. ;)
[04:47] <luigi> KDE? Not so much.
[04:47] <Polah> luigi: That doesn't make it a gnome thing though, it might come with it but it is standalone.
[04:47] <CoverSlide> doesn't kde have some sound manager thingy?
[04:47] <almoxarife> from my own experience, trying to remove puseaudio cripples ubuntu, unless you like to listen to sound from a terminal
[04:48] <usr13> miraenvigado: is it a laptop?
[04:48] <Polah> StanleyPTP, you'll still get sound I believe but you won't have volume control and suchlike after removing it until you get something else
[04:48] <luigi> Polah: Mentioning how it's a sound server that each program wanting to output sound needs to connect to give out anything would only confuse someone who is trying to make a decision here. I know what it is and does.
[04:48] <miraenvigado> yes it is
[04:48] <usr13> miraenvigado: Check to see if a switch is toggled off.
[04:48] <StanleyPTP> almoxarife: yikes, thank for the head up. I heard it from some where before but unser
[04:48] <luigi> Polah: People here think in terms of DEs, not WMs and standalone apps.
[04:49] <miraenvigado> I turn on already
[04:49] <usr13> miraenvigado: or check the BIOS to see if it is turned off.
[04:49] <miraenvigado> what else
[04:49] <miraenvigado> ok
[04:49] <usr13> miraenvigado: Well, it is more than likely rtl8139   lsmod
[04:49] <miraenvigado> but i've got to reset the laptop
[04:50] <usr13> miraenvigado: It could very well be turned off in the bios
[04:50] <almoxarife> miraenvigado: http://pastebin.com/TquLgJ1p

[04:51] <Datz> hi, I was wondering if there is a problem with teh applet invest. Whenever I try to add it to the gnome panel, nothing happens.
[04:51] <StanleyPTP> Ubuntu generally sound ok, multiple apps using the sound at the same time seem to work ok. Just this OpenOffice/libreoffice sound effects thing. It plays video and background sound together without a glitch.
[04:51] <usr13> miraenvigado:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking
[04:52] <usr13> I've got to turn in for the night. It's been real...
[04:53] <StanleyPTP> Well I think I am bump
[04:54] <indra> tezt
[04:59] <StanleyPTP> I have submitted a bug report to openoffice, but it has been so long.
[05:00] <Polah> StanleyPTP: The same problem occurs in Libreoffice?
[05:00] <StanleyPTP> Since only OpenOffice Impress has this problem
[05:00] <StanleyPTP> yes
[05:00] <StanleyPTP> Polah: yes
[05:01] <Polah> StanleyPTP: Wait what, OpenOffice Impress has the problem but you get it in Libreoffice? They're different office suites...
[05:01] <StanleyPTP> I am using both 10.10 and 11.04
[05:01] <CoverSlide> Libreoffice is a fork of Openoffice
[05:01] <StanleyPTP> one came with openoffice the other libreoffice
[05:02] <StanleyPTP> both has the same problem
[05:02] <StanleyPTP> I am using 10.10 on 2 computers and 11.04 on 2 others computers
[05:03] <StanleyPTP> I only tried Windows Openoffice via Vbox.
[05:04] <StanleyPTP> In Vbox sound come out prefect  every time. But of course, it need re-path, different filesystem.
[05:06] <StanleyPTP> The problem might be how OpenOffice/LibreOffice handled the sound effect thingy or PulseAudio cannot handle the sound request fast enough.
[05:07] <StanleyPTP> That the reason I do not know where to ask for help Ubuntu or OpenOffice. And to make it complicated LibreOffice.
[05:08] <aaas> is there a good program that will sync files between windows and linux say every night... i only need one-way sync?  rsync?
[05:09] <michal_sz> do you want use it on desktop or on a server ?
[05:09] <aaas> michal_sz me?  from desktop to server
[05:10] <CoverSlide> wsync which way?
[05:10] <aaas> CoverSlide: i want to sync from windows desktop to ubuntu server
[05:11] <CoverSlide> i'd use cygwin + rsync on the windows computer
[05:11] <CoverSlide> but that's just me
[05:12] <SIFTU> aaas: you have so many options.. I would probably create a samba share on the linux box and mount it from windows.. then use whatever to copy the deltas
[05:12] <aaas> CoverSlide why not rsync from ubuntu
[05:12] <__jon> hi all. i'm connected to internet directly by a adsl modem. Need i to set a firewall ?
[05:12] <CoverSlide> well either way would work i guess
[05:12] <aaas> SIFTU yes but what to copy
[05:13] <aaas> SIFTU is rsync still the prefered?
[05:13] <SIFTU> aaas: well you could use any windows command that way.. robocopy, xcopy, whatever
[05:13] <michal_sz> aaas: have tried http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/10650 ?
[05:13] <aaas> SIFTU I would rather use the server to grab... so Im looking for an ubuntu solution i guess
[05:15] <Hiro2> could someone help me remove grub and edit windows boot file so that it'll default to booting into windows?
[05:15] <SIFTU> aaas: that will work also.. just personal preference I try not to install extra stuff on workstations (like cygwin etc).. and I keep the shares on the server
[05:15] <CoverSlide> cron + rsync
[05:16] <CoverSlide> you can just have grub boot to windows
[05:16] <aaas> SIFTU well thats the thing the only reason I have to sync is becasue truecrypt + samba with thunderbird and evernote aren't playing well... i need to run them locally, hence the syncing
[05:16] <new2net> sudo ifconfig eth1 up .... SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out ? What does that even mean? Nothing relevant in sys.log
[05:16] <Hiro2> CoverSlide: that sounds good, how do I do that?
[05:17] <Roasted> test
[05:17] <new2net> Roasted: Test 1/1  Passed 1/1
[05:17] <Roasted> new001, <3
[05:17] <Roasted> new2net, <3

[05:40] <Polah> magnus: You want PHP error messages to display in your browser when they occur? Like error: unexpected { on line 15?
[05:41] <bullgard6> pdtpatrick: 2.6.5ubuntu1
[05:41] <magnus> yes :P
[05:41] <new2net> which version of the generic-pae kernel is Natty currently using?
[05:41] <StanleyPTP> Date and time can be a headache. You may need to set your location correctly.
[05:42] <bullgard6> pdtpatrick:No. it's  2.6.5-0ubuntu1
[05:42] <magnus> Polah, that's right :)
[05:42] <Polah> magnus: In your PHP files you need to add the line error_reporting(1)  somewhere between the <?php ?> tags
[05:42] <Polah> magnus: There's other levels too I think, here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php
[05:42] <magnus> oki :)
[05:45] <Polah> magnus: There may also be an option to do so globally in your php config files.

[05:58] <keron> im installing ubuntu 10.04
[05:59] <keron> i want to install the driver for nvidia
[05:59] <shaddai_> Okay...is it installed yet?

[06:00] <keron> installed i mean
[06:00] <mulvus23_> exit
[06:01] <keron> next i install the driver via hardware
[06:02] <shaddai_> There's an item under system preferences or system administration that says install additional drivers
[06:02] <shaddai_> or 3rd party drivers or something to that effect.
[06:02] <keron> via hardware drivers
[06:02] <shaddai_> I'm going from memory, I went to Kubuntu instead
[06:03] <nmvictor> Finally Shuttlew*th, ubuntu's core designer has succedded in putting Ubuntu on a road travelled by few Linux users, I hear 11.10 wont ship Gnome shell. In other words, the Ubuntu classic option, which had worn most experienced users hearts, wont be their any more.  I choose not to die, I'll be swicthing to Linux Mint, Its based on Ubuntu, I can only hope it doesnt ship the unity sh*t, Why wont ShuttleW*th just get it, U
[06:03] <keron> now my ubuntu has blank screen
[06:04] <keron> can someone help me?

[06:22] <TearDrop> Hello, um... Is this a place to ask about ubuntus boot menu?
[06:23] <Sanchez> join #ubuntu-de
[06:23] <TearDrop> Ohkaii. Is that the boot menu chat?
[06:24] <keron> ubuntu boot menu use startup manager
[06:24] <TearDrop> You don't even know what I want to do yet.
[06:24] <keron> you want to edit menu.lst?
[06:25] <TearDrop> :S I though this one had the cfg thingy
[06:25] <keron> so what you want to do?
[06:25] <keron> teardrop?
[06:25] <CoolCoder> wildbat: how will we add this new space to the existing database
[06:26] <TearDrop> Anyway. No. I have Ubuntu and Windows installed. But I don't use windows anymore (much) but I still want it there. But That menu is icky and ugly, so i wanna hide it
[06:26] <TearDrop> But the hidden stuff in the /default/grub thing dosnen't make it go away :(
[06:26] <Shirakawasuna> TearDrop: there's a way to make is so that there's a smaller dialog which says 'hit any key for boot options' and does the normal countdown
[06:27] <TearDrop> Can I have it so there is no countdown, it only shows if im holding shift?
[06:27] <Shirakawasuna> I'm not sure
[06:27] <Shirakawasuna> you could alternatively make it only 1 second long
[06:28] <TearDrop> I had it like that when It was pure ubuntu. But my mom made me install windows because "Only boys do that stuff with computers" So...  Cancel | OK" What has coused the appearance of this window? It never appeared with me before.
[06:30] <jorge_-> join #ubuntu-es
[06:30] <TearDrop> So like, how would I do it.
[06:31] <CoolCoder> i have added some diskspace to ubuntu/ and by using gparted i have formated that unallocated space to "ext2" format.   Now how i will add this space to the system(Its showing not enough space message)
[06:35] <CoolCoder> ???
[06:35] <Lint> CoolCoder: you cannot
[06:35] <i_is_broke> what is the command to reset gnome-panels?
[06:35] <TearDrop> Shirakawasuna, So like, how do i do it?
[06:36] <TearDrop> i_is_broke, killall gnome-panel
[06:36] <Lint> CoolCoder: add it in fstab
[06:36] <TearDrop> i_is_broke, They come back, no worried :> its maaagiicc :D
[06:36] <i_is_broke> lol
[06:36] <Gredeu> you can reset gnome2 from command line googling reset gnome to defaults
[06:36] <i_is_broke> cool i like magic...:D
[06:37] <CoolCoder> Lint: do i need to format this space again?
[06:37] <new2net> .
[06:37] <i_is_broke> thanks for the google fu Gredeu . i got chya.
[06:37] <i_is_broke> ty, TearDrop
[06:37] <TearDrop> Flannel, whatcha doin to the chat?
[06:37] <Flannel> TearDrop: Nothing much.
[06:38] <TearDrop> Flannel, :3 why can you do it but not like, others.
[06:38] <Gredeu> how re you Flannel ?
[06:38] <Flannel> Gredeu: I'm doing alright.  Yourself?
[06:38] <Gredeu> good :) ty
[06:38] <CoolCoder> Lint: how to add this space into fstab
[06:38] <Shirakawasuna> TearDrop: sorry, I don't remember. I would google it and check the ubuntu, archlinux, and gentoo wikis on grub menu tweaks
[06:39] <Lint> CoolCoder: choose a mount point and create a new record
[06:39] <TearDrop> Flannel, >.< Whats archlinux and gentoo? is archlinux like... another kernel.. cus ares is linux, so like... archlinux sounds like linuxes enemi
[06:39] <Lint> on unrelated note: VT1 keylogs my X session o_O
[06:39] <TearDrop> whoops... wrong person :3
[06:40] <Flannel> TearDrop: Archlinux and Gentoo are other distros, just like Ubuntu is a distro.
[06:40] <wh1zz0> Hello guys.. I have a static IP and I'm running ubuntu natty desktop. I wish to host my mini website on my home computer. In other words I wish ti turn my desktop into a web server. Yes I've done some googling and I understand some of the advantages and disadvantages but I want to do this as it's part of the learning curve and it will hlp me understand a few things better. So here goes my question, how can I achieve this without having to
[06:40] <TearDrop> Flannel, Oh. Whats the difference :S
[06:40] <Flannel> TearDrop: All three use linux as the kernel, and have many of the same programs available for them.  It's just a different group of people managing it, with differences due to that, basically.
[06:41] <TearDrop> gentoo sounds like a good name for a frog :)
[06:41] <bullgard6> [Jaunty] A window appears: "Username onflict" Please type a new username for your local account: ***. Cancel | OK" What has coused the appearance of this window? It never appeared with me before.
[06:41] <Lint> TearDrop: archlinux does not sign packages or track dependencies, gentoo compiles everything from source
[06:41] <Gredeu> are home web server notorious for hack attempts ?
[06:41] <TearDrop> Flannel, Meh, they should all work together on one big distro. One for like, everybody.
[06:41] <Lint> why VT1 keylogs my X session? is it normal? what's to blame??
[06:41] <TearDrop> Like.... why have patoons when you can form an army.
[06:41] <Matth1a3> when someone talks about binaries, they mean a build of source code - like an executable, right?
[06:42] <Lint> TearDrop: unfeasible
[06:42] <Flannel> Matth1a3: right
[06:42] <xqix9u2v> misconfigured home web servers?
[06:42] <TearDrop> Lint if all use the same kernel and programs... why not?
[06:42] <Lint> TearDrop: not the same binaries, dependencies etc.
[06:42] <Flannel> TearDrop: The same reason all automobiles aren't the same color; people like different things.
[06:42] <q0_0p> by default in /usr/src/linux is .config already modified by default?  the reason why i ask is because i wish to have less modules.
[06:43] <wh1zz0> Can I achieve this using ubuntu desktop or I will have to do a full install of ubuntu server.. this is my question
[06:43] <TearDrop> then make all automobiles pink :D problem solved. and it would be pretty too!
[06:43] <xqix9u2v> either
[06:43] <Lint> wh1zz0: there's no difference except price
[06:43] <TearDrop> haha, I get it though.
[06:43] <Flannel> wh1zz0: You can just install the webserver stuff, yes.
[06:43] <Flannel> !apache | wh1zz0
[06:43] <Flannel> wh1zz0: The wikipage there gives you all the details on setting it up
[06:43] <q0_0p> wh1zz0: you can use ubuntu desktop and just remove the gui.
[06:43] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, either one will work but start with server
[06:44] <TearDrop> A lamp is something you smash over stupid guys head. not a webserver >.< I'm still getting used to all this.
[06:44] <wh1zz0> Thanks Flannel and Linit >> I remember doing this once on windows 2003 using IIS but this time I'm trying to figure how to get it to work on ubuntu
[06:44] <calmpitbull> good morning. i have a possibiliti to put ma sim card directly into laptop and i was wonderning does anybody have any experience with gprs and 3g networks on ubuntu
[06:44] <TearDrop> calmpitbull, I DO! :D
[06:44] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, do you have a router?
[06:45] <Lint> wh1zz0: it's much more difficult due to stupidly diffiult apache configuration
[06:45] <Lint> last time I tried it, packaged apache wasn't even associating php with php
[06:45] <Flannel> If you install all of the right packages (that wikipage walks you through it), it's pretty simple and straightforward.
[06:45] <Lint> can someone explain why VT1 keylogs my X session??
[06:46] <wh1zz0> Lint: Hmm
[06:46] <xqix9u2v> heres how you do webserver in a nutshell
[06:46] <TearDrop> Lint, because a hacker wants your password. all your base are belong to us
[06:46] <xqix9u2v> install ubuntuy, forward port 80 on router
[06:46] <wh1zz0> Flannel: Which of the Wikis are you referring to?
[06:47] <xqix9u2v> done
[06:47] <Flannel> wh1zz0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP the one from the factoid ubottu sent y
[06:47] <wh1zz0> Thanks Flannel ....
[06:47] <Flannel> TearDrop: We prefer to keep this channel support only, with discussions and chit-chat (and humorous comments) in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[06:47] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: I don't have a router
[06:47] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: But my IP is static
[06:47] <TearDrop> Flannel, sorry :(
[06:47] <xqix9u2v> ok do you dial up, dsl, cable?
[06:48] <xqix9u2v> ok sorry thats right
[06:48] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v:  Cable.. ethernet
[06:48] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: i.e LAN
[06:48] <calmpitbull> TearDrop: come to offtopic i would like to know how does it work and
[06:48] <wh1zz0> dhcp
[06:48] <xqix9u2v> ok... does this box have 2 ethernet cards?
[06:49] <TearDrop> calmpitbull, It just worked for me... idk. I didn't need to do anything.
[06:49] <xqix9u2v> if not, get 1 more card and make it into a router AND webserver
[06:49] <lxuser> hi
[06:49] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: Not sure.. I know I have a LAN adapter
[06:49] <xqix9u2v> this raises complexity considerably... but if you wnat to learn
[06:50] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: And wireless adapter..Is there a fast command to check ?
[06:50] <Lint> also repository site tries to hack me
[06:50] <xqix9u2v> well just looking at back would be fine
[06:50] <lxuser> I'm back with ubuntu now. However I have a small issue. I installed a new theme and the window buttons are on the left side. How do I change it to the right?
[06:50] <xqix9u2v> you have 1 ip, and many computers?
[06:51] <Flannel> xqix9u2v, wh1zz0: I don't know why he'd need two network cards to host a website.
[06:51] <lxuser> btw, that's why I installed a new theme because all the basic ubuntu themes are on the left.
[06:51] <xqix9u2v> no he has 1 ip
[06:51] <xqix9u2v> and no router
[06:51] <Flannel> xqix9u2v: He wants to use the same computer he's currently using, just add apache to it.
[06:51] <xqix9u2v> so next box he plugs in will not get ip
[06:52] <xqix9u2v> ahhh he has 1 computer only..
[06:52] <new2net> xqix9u2v: I want to learn.  http://pastebin.com/bFa6EXgj  I can't bring my interface eth1 up
[06:52] <new2net> err, yes I tried running it as su
[06:53] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: if  by just looking at the back, it's one LAN port that exist
[06:53] <wh1zz0> Flannel: Exactly
[06:53] <Lasers> I'm trying to dd a local sda2 over network -- in particular folder. How can I do it? I tried this... sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 | ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>'dd of=/media/ea11b55c-1942-43d7-a321-d4ae7773ebc9ae7773ebc9/vaio-sda2.iso' -- but no such file or directory.
[06:53] <xqix9u2v> ok you do have a router, and 2 eth
[06:53] <wh1zz0> Same PC
[06:53] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: Nah, no router
[06:53] <xqix9u2v> hmm yea install Ubuntu, forward port 80, done!
[06:53] <bullgard6> [Jaunty] A window appears: "Username onflict" Please type a new username for your local account: ***. Cancel | OK" What has caused the appearance of this window? It never appeared with me before.
[06:54] <xqix9u2v> yeah you probably have router builtin to cable modem that is class c addy
[06:54] <hplpb> what, in your opinions, is the best way to remotely control the current x desktop?
[06:54] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: I thought port forwarding is something that has a relationship with routers
[06:54] <xqix9u2v> hplpb, realvnc, ultravnc, tight vnc
[06:54] <TearDrop> How do you make your own bootsplash? Cus I have photoshop and im not to bad if i say so myself, Id like to make my own with pretty birds and pink :3
[06:54] <xqix9u2v> any of those
[06:55] <Lint> (1) why VT1 keylogs my X session
[06:55] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v:  Well yeah no doubt there's an inbuilt router but it's inaccessible
[06:55] <TearDrop> Cus ubuntu needs more pink :D
[06:55] <Lint> (2) why Ubuntu ,mirror tries to hack my machine?
[06:55] <hplpb> xqix9u2v: are either of those any better than using x11vnc?
[06:55] <SwedeMike> Lint: what makes you think (2) ?
[06:55] <TearDrop> AND blue, gotta have light blue , like a baby robin :3
[06:55] <rww> Lint: how are you coming to the conclusions that lead you to ask these questions?
[06:56] <TearDrop> ?
[06:56] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, type 'ip route'  what is last line?
[06:56] <Lint> I see denied incoming connection attempt from mirror server
[06:56] <Lint> repeated one
[06:56] <xqix9u2v> hplpb, sorry i should have asked what platform the client is...
[06:56] <Onlyodin> new2net, what is the output of `sudo ifconfig eth1 up`?
[06:57] <new2net> Onlyodin: exactly the same
[06:57] <xqix9u2v> rww, can you remove my ban in #debian??
[06:57] <Lint> rww: about (1) it's every key I type in x session including arrows and stuff is printed on VT1
[06:57] <rww> xqix9u2v: no, I am not a #debian operator
[06:57] <xqix9u2v> ok thnak you rww
[06:58] <Gredeu> when you install a package is there anyway to get it to appear in the unity menu ?
[06:58] <hplpb> xqix9u2v: using tightvnc viewer on windows, androidvnc on my phone
[06:58] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v:  default via <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth0  proto static
[06:58] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, try to connect to <IP_ADDRESS> in browser
[06:59] <TearDrop> does itunes work on ubuntu 11.04 wine?
[07:00] <Lint> Gredeu: isn't it automatic via *.desktop files?
[07:00] <wh1zz0> YEah... did that before, says cannot be accessed
[07:00] <TearDrop> rww why are so many people getting unbanned? did they say sorry?
[07:00] <xqix9u2v> hplpb, i like RealVNC but not many features.  if ultravnc worked better in my scenario i would try that it is pretty full of usefull stuff
[07:00] <new2net> this is crazy... instead of a bridged connection I'm going to connect to my laptop with a wire, bridge to my router wirelessly, tunnel through the router with ssh using my box as a proxy. two eth? is 1 too many
[07:01] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: SOMAportal is not enabled on this system.
[07:01] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, ahh alright just checking... well i would call your ISP and tell them you need to access that page
[07:01] <hplpb> xqix9u2v: thanks
[07:01] <sujith> My ubuntu hangs when i shut it down
[07:02] <xqix9u2v> hplpb, no prob
[07:02] <StanleyPTP> Can anyone help me regarding pulse audio?
[07:02] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, i am not familliar
[07:02] <TearDrop> rww, I think everyone should have to make a full appology before they are let back in.
[07:02] <Shirakawasuna> TearDrop: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1347
[07:02] <Shirakawasuna> TearDrop: also lots of bans are automated 1 hour bans for flooding/whatever, I assume
[07:02] <lxuser> ok maybe nobody knows what I'm talking about. the buttons on the  you click to close, minimize or maximize is on the left side instead of the right, how do I fix this? thanks
[07:03] <lxuser> on the window
[07:03] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: I did that before but it seems it's disabled by default.. So there's no way this would work without forwarding any port?
[07:03] <StanleyPTP> Is it a good idea to apt-get remove pulse?
[07:03] <Shirakawasuna> TearDrop: ah, and for the iTunes I just linked, the overall impression I get is that older versions are fine, newer versions are crap
[07:03] <Shirakawasuna> StanleyPTP: not in general, no.
[07:03] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: I called them but they said they won't open it
[07:03] <TearDrop> Hmm.... I am an apple dev.. so i have the new iTunes 10.5 ... it had OTA (sync without the plug) so... we might not need the usb plug support for wine to use idevices.
[07:03] <TearDrop> I shall test haha.
[07:03] <Shirakawasuna> stamina: but you can survive without it, you just have to realize that ubuntu expects it to be there and work around it
[07:04] <Shirakawasuna> err, StanleyPTP ^
[07:04] <sujith> My ubuntu hangs when i shut down. i'm using ubuntu 10.10 and system config is lenovo ideapad z750  , i3 processor 3gb Ram. it Happens most of the times. Any suggestions?
[07:04] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, ok i see yes they need to open that or you will not be able to forward.
[07:04] <cihhan> im trying to install linux to a laptop i have just bought, but i cant create any partition.
[07:04] <Shirakawasuna> sujith: I know this is kind of a stupid/annoying answer, but just updating to 11.04 might help.
[07:05] <wdd```> any of u guise willing to proofread a resume
[07:05] <StanleyPTP> Shirakawasuna: upon an advice from luigi that I should remove pulseaudio due to my probem with impress
[07:05] <Shirakawasuna> sujith: basically, it's probably a config, low-level system tool, or kernel issue, most of which should change after upgrading
[07:05] <rww> wdd```: ask #ubuntu-offtopic or ##english
[07:05] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: Whew
[07:05] <TearDrop> Shirakawasuna, I may seem like a cute innocent blonde, but I know and use on a regular basis 3 programming langauges and 6 scripting langauges, learning c# now to add to that.
[07:05] <sujith> Shirakawasuna, : I had Done that But 11.04 is giving me a lot of problems hence i had to revert back to 10.10.
[07:05] <Shirakawasuna> StanleyPTP: it's safe to do so, but some audio in other programs might not work as well - you might have to fiddle around and make them use gstreamer/alsa
[07:05] <Shirakawasuna> StanleyPTP: and you can always revert by installing pulse again
[07:06] <TearDrop> Shirakawasuna, So I may be able to develop a patch to get it working under wine :D. New project!
[07:06] <Shirakawasuna> TearDrop: that would be super awesome!
[07:06] <luigi> Yes, removing pulse may not be the best, but it's not a permanent thing.
[07:06] <luigi> Nor hard to undo.
[07:06] <Shirakawasuna> sujith: ah
[07:06] <StanleyPTP> Shirakawasuna: Let say I removed pulse, do I have to replace it with anything?
[07:06] <sujith> Shirakawasuna, : Yes I have updated my ubuntu through Ubuntu Update Manger Still i Facec the same issue.
[07:06] <TearDrop> Kay, Im gonna try that. What langauge is most of wine's code in?
[07:06] <Shirakawasuna> StanleyPTP: nope
[07:06] <Shirakawasuna> StanleyPTP: pulse builds on top of tools that are there by default, mostly alsa
[07:07] <StanleyPTP> Shirakawasuna: so basically open ALSA will take over by default?
[07:07] <Shirakawasuna> sujith: sorry about that, I don't have any other ideas :/. I'm new to ubuntu, so I don't know what to troubleshoot.
[07:07] <Shirakawasuna> StanleyPTP: pretty much

[07:07] <Gredeu> when i apt-get install a package it does not appear in my unity menu. any way to fix ?
[07:08] <TearDrop> StanleyPTP, Pulse is just a layer over alsa. If you have alsa, it will work instead.
[07:08] <rww> bullgard6: Jaunty hasn't been supported since October, either officially (for security updates) or in here.
[07:08] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, sorry...
[07:08] <sujith> Shirakawasuna, : Can u Direct me to anyone else who can help me on this issue? Anyways Thanks For your Support and Time :)
[07:08] <TearDrop> StanleyPTP, You could also use OSS.
[07:08] <StanleyPTP> Shirakawasuna: One more thing, if after removing pulse, then I install it again later, will it be any difficulties?
[07:08] <bullgard6> Gredeu Replace Unity with GNOME 2.
[07:08] <Gredeu> want to use unity
[07:09] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v:  I was of the opinion that it is possibe without having to forawrd any port because opera unite for instance doesn't require any port forwarding to function. This made me believe that there's hope, but the technology behind opera unite and how they achieved that is what i'm stil trying to figure out
[07:09] <TearDrop> UGH! I just got a call >.< I g2g and get to coding :/ Cyahs Thanks all, byeeeee <3
[07:09] <Lint> bullgard6: gnome2 is deprecated
[07:10] <lxuser> ok this is crazy! I downloaded the "not xp" ubuntu theme and the instructions says... "Install this theme in your Home/.theme folder" LOL how do I do that?
[07:10] <Shirakawasuna> sujith: Sorry, I'm new to #ubuntu as well so I don't know. I suppose if I were you I would check /var/log/everything after one of these freezes and see if it has any useful messages. The timestamps will be on the left and you'll have to sift through a lot of unrelated stuff.
[07:10] <Shirakawasuna> StanleyPTP: I haven't done it before, but I wouldn't expect it.
[07:11] <StanleyPTP> Shirakawasuna" tq
[07:11] <Shirakawasuna> StanleyPTP: You'd have to undo whatever workarounds you end up doing to make things work without pulse
[07:11] <Shirakawasuna> maybe
[07:11] <bullgard6> rww: I made a mistake. I meant Lucid. --  A window appears: "Username conflict" Please type a new username for your local account: ***. Cancel | OK" What has caused the appearance of this window? It never appeared with me before.
[07:11] <StanleyPTP> Shirakawasuna: yes, noted
[07:11] <rww> bullgard6: what's the username it's complaining about?
[07:11] <Shirakawasuna> Gredeu: there's probably a command you can run, but logging out/in might help
[07:12] <StanleyPTP> exit
[07:12] <bullgard6> rww: My normal username is "detlef". This strange window proposes that I type "detlef #2".
[07:13] <rww> bullgard6: do you use gajim?
[07:14] <bullgard6> rww: Yes I do.
[07:15] <martin_> hey people
[07:15] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, ok yes it may be possible, eg you sigh up somewhere and then you will have a website hosted on your system as is without touching router hmmm...  yes there probably is something that would work although i have not heard of any/those you mentioned
[07:15] <rww> bullgard6: That text string appears in gajim's code in a function that looks to deal with name conflicts in zeroconf/bonjour/link-local xmpp accounts

[07:22] <Onlyodin> new2net, it's probably not working because you've configured the same IP address on eth1 as is already on eth0
[07:23] <new2net> Onlyodin: YES! I know that is one issue (probably the most important), how do I fix that. I want to bridge eth0 and eth1 where eth0 is for WAN
[07:24] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: Hmm
[07:25] <Onlyodin> new2net, you need a bridge interface, br0
[07:25] <new2net> Onlyodin:  ok,  sudo brctl addbr br0
[07:26] <new2net> Onlyodin: sudo brctl addif br0 eth1 eth0   ... i wont run that (it disconnects me)

[07:27] <andrewh192> is there a room that might be able to help me figure out web design css stuff?
[07:28] <Onlyodin> new2net, this one also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BridgingNetworkInterfaces
[07:28] <wh1zz0> new2net: You want to bridge or you want to create an ad-hoc?
[07:28] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, it would require some sort of software on your system for just this puropse...  Opera Unite: When you fire up Opera, you’ll be operating a secure server and you will be able to serve all kinds of content (whatever you want, basically: bookmarks, contacts, cached content, arbitrary files from a roped-off area of your local storage, web pages of your own) to other Opera users, at the very least, and maybe all browser users, at the ve

[07:28] <zul__> anyone can help me in a permission error while pushing in git?
[07:28] <new2net> Onlyodin: I followed it to the letter, I still get the same error when I run sudo ifconfig eth1 up.  I think that ipaddr is causing the problem
[07:28] <bluelf>  hey all ,i just installed gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.04 its working fine except the top bar , its multi colored any idea what should I try ?
[07:29] <Lasers> netmind: "sudo apt-get install bridge-utils" -- Set it up with nm-applet. Look in Properties -- Set it up to "Shared" or something similar. You're done.  (That was my experience)
[07:30] <Lasers> new2net: ^^
[07:30] <new2net> whizz0: http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4927/thepictureq.png  NIC#1 = eth0, NIC#2 = eth1
[07:30] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: Yeah you are right, I understand the fact that I will have to install apache or something to create the server and create a public dir visible to the www but it's just the port forwarding part im trying to do without
[07:30] <Onlyodin> new2net, yes, you'll need to remove the ip(s) from eth1/eth0 first and put your ip address on br0.  Perhaps try Lasers recommendation.
[07:31] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, i dont think you need apache for that only Opera Browser and Unite plugin
[07:32] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, it has been over 10 years shince i've installed Opera
[07:32] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v:  No I just used opera unite as an example.. when you taked about port forwarding. I want to host my website on my PC. Opera unite is a bit different in that there's a limit to the kinds of things you can share
[07:33] <wh1zz0> I just wanted to point out that when I installed opera unite back when I was in windows, it worked without me having to do any port forwarding
[07:34] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, right.  i was thinking like maybe a service that you sign up for and install some software to interface... this would bundle nicely with a DNS service
[07:36] <new2net> Onlyodin: ok.. so how do I change the IP addr for eth1... I mean... it's not even up
[07:37] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: Hmm
[07:39] <Guest37816> hi
[07:40] <benonsoftware> Hi all

[07:41] <rww> dontkickplease: fun and amusing fact: you're muted in #ubuntu, so nobody is seeing your silliness.
[07:41] <bsmith093> i have a bunch of web comics organized like comicname/comics/2001/01/blah.jpg how do i batch move them all to comicnamme/comics/*
[07:42] <bryan__> hello  everyboody
[07:42] <benonsoftware> Hello
[07:42] <joshuahardy95> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 11.04. but i think it has deleted the boot loader for windows 7 (the partion it was on is still there and nothing has been deleated) so how do i get the windows boot loader back so i can dual boot)
[07:43] <new2net> rww: how tempting is it to kick?

[07:44] <Pupeno_> I'm considering buying an external hard drive. I'm checking out this LaCie one, but it says it has password encryption. I don't care about that, but will that prevent it from working with Linux?
[07:44] <glebihan> bsmith093, but be careful if several files have the same filename
[07:44] <bryan__> who can help me with my soundcard  error
[07:44] <lxuser> hi, can you read me?
[07:44] <grendal-prime> I got this issue where a box hangs on reboot
[07:45] <Lint> you should always have windows boot floppy at hand
[07:45] <grendal-prime> anybody have that happen?
[07:45] <lion42> Pupeno_, usually that means there's some crappy encryption software on it that you can easily delete.
[07:45] <bsmith093> glebihan: find: missing argument to `-exec'
[07:45] <lxuser> I just installed ubuntu 10 and I can't get the sound to work. Please help, what do I look for and where?
[07:45] <Pupeno_> lion42: ok, great.
[07:45] <grendal-prime> Lint, are you insane?  everyone knows windows causes siphilus
[07:46] <lion42> Pupeno_, that said, "encrypted" drives tend to cost more than plain ones, so you might want to look for another external based on that alone.
[07:46] <Lint> joshuahardy95 boot from win7 dvd and choose corresponding repair options
[07:46] <new2net> Pupeno_: Why not just put it on someone else's drive... a file host or something
[07:46] <Lint> joshuahardy95 then boot from ubuntu livedvd and reinstall grub
[07:46] <Pupeno_> new2net: put what?
[07:47] <joshuahardy95_> ok thankyou, its that simple...
[07:47] <new2net> Pupeno_: whatever it is that you put... bits I guess
[07:47] <new2net> files
[07:47] <Pupeno_> new2net: what? there's no someone else. What are you talking about?
[07:47] <Pupeno_> lion42: I see.
[07:47] <bryan__> HOW ABOUT ME
[07:47] <Hathadar> server irc.esper.net
[07:48]  * Lint wonders why WIndows 7 can boot from floppy disk, and Ubuntu cannot
[07:48] <Lasers> !details | bryan__
[07:48] <new2net> Pupeno_: I mean. I'm too cheap to buy a drive, I just store my big files on a file host (free). Then save the URL to a text document... it's like 99.9% compression
[07:48] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, lets take a step back...  any solution that may exist will need you to sign up and utilize a server that has an Internet address.  So at this point you may as well just lease a box from someone else.  i have personally used a godaddy provisioned virtual machine and hosted/maintained websites
[07:48] <lion42> Pupeno_, I think new2net is asking if the thing you need an external drive for cannot be served with some sort of online file hosting service.
[07:48] <new2net> take that bz2
[07:48] <new2net> yeah, like ubuntu one
[07:48] <bryan__> i  love ubottu
[07:48] <Pupeno_> Yeah, no, it can't.
[07:49] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v:  How much do these boxes cost for leasing/
[07:49] <wh1zz0> ?
[07:49] <glebihan> bsmith093, sorry forgot the ";" : find comicname/comics -name "*.jpg" -exec mv {} comicname/comics \;
[07:49] <xqix9u2v> well godaddy vms were slow but i dunno i bet maybe 15 usd/month?
[07:50] <bsmith093> glebihan: i ran this and the files vanished alongwith the floder
[07:50] <lxuser> ok I have a problem with sound, I'm running Ubuntu 10.
[07:50] <Lint> can I get somwe explanation why ubuntu mirror srever tried to hack my machine?
[07:50] <lxuser> I don't think this chat is working at all.
[07:50] <new2net> glebihan: you want to find something then move it to the same place?
[07:51] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, ask around i bet you could find ones cheaper than that but idk really
[07:51] <glebihan> new2net, bsmith093 wants to do that yes
[07:51] <bazhang> Lint, thats not credible. please stop
[07:51] <xqix9u2v> While the dedicated servers usually starts at $79.99 at GoDaddy (but currently available at half price), you can get a VPS for less than half that. And with this fantastic promo, you can get GoDaddy’s cheapest VPS for only $15/month for up to two years.

[07:53] <warddr> Hello all, I wrote a python script that should be running all the time when ubuntu is running, how can I do that?
[07:55] <xqix9u2v> warddr, use cron
[07:55] <warddr> xqix9u2v, and what time should I specify?
[07:56] <glebihan> bsmith093, and what happened exactly when you ran the command I gave you ?
[07:57] <jack> am i the only one with connection issues to de.archive.ubuntu.com?
[07:57] <xqix9u2v> warddr, every hour check if it is still running
[07:57] <glebihan> warddr, if your script just has to be started on boot, then put a command to launch it in /etc/rc.local
[07:58] <warddr> Ok, that's what I need, it'll keep on running from then
[07:58] <xqix9u2v> jack, i can ping it
[07:58] <bsmith093> glebihan: im actually not sure, but the files basically wnt away, to somewhere else, and its easier to just redownload them and start over
[07:58] <xqix9u2v> warddr, timtowtdi
[07:59]  * warddr reboot to test if it works
[07:59] <glebihan> bsmith093, but you said the folders were moved too ? the command cannot do anything to folders (unless the folder name contains spaces that you didn't escape)
[07:59] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: Okie sorry lemme understand a lil bit better.. When you say box.. Are you referring to dedicated VPS?
[07:59] <jack> xqix9u2v: ping works here as well
[08:00] <jack> but apt hangs
[08:00] <Lint> is it normal behaviour for ubuntu mirrors to establish incoming connections to user machines?
[08:01] <xqix9u2v> jack, hmm
[08:02] <hamedlll_> how to install sorce package (tar.gz) plz ????
[08:02] <jack> doesn't hang in fact, just doesn't build a connection
[08:03] <glebihan> !compile | hamedlll_
[08:03] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, oops.. um idk can you quote me box is a box is a box
[08:03] <wh1zz0> hamedlll_: unzip first :: tar -zxvf package.tar.gz
[08:03] <xqix9u2v> jack, sometimes repos go down try another maybe just for test
[08:04] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: Lol
[08:04] <jack> xqix9u2v: hmm
[08:04] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: Well.. If that is true.. will the box have a configurable router?
[08:04] <jack> never edited my sources.list manually  yet
[08:04] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, no it will have raw Internet ip
[08:04] <glebihan> jack, you don't have to
[08:05] <jack> no?
[08:05] <glebihan> jack, you can select you mirror from the "software sources" tool
[08:05] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: Hmmm, then how about the forwarding part?
[08:05] <xqix9u2v> wh1zz0, again not necc you will be on Internet
[08:06] <jack> uh, indeed
[08:06] <xqix9u2v> point browser to the ip of your vm
[08:06] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: OR are you saying that when there's a raw internet IP, there's no need to do port forwarding? Cuz remember the essence is to host my website without having to buy hosting and all that.
[08:07] <wh1zz0> xqix9u2v: And to learn more by administering my own webserver
[08:07] <bsmith093> glebihan: current the pics are laid out like this /home/ben/www.egscomics.com/comics/2002/01/*.gif whereas i need them like this /home/ben/www.egscomics.com/comics/*.gif

[08:12] <hamedlll_> where can I download Dlink dialup modem driver???
[08:12] <Lint> that means I cannot customize it without doing some idiocy like re-naming it, because 'thunderbird' is patented trademark, doesn't it?
[08:13] <hamedlll_> where can I download Dlink dialup modem driver???
[08:13] <xqix9u2v> lets say you now go to network-tools.com...  it will show your internet address of your router
