[16:14] <Gorkyman> anyone? : )
[16:14] <Koobilitoo> i am in users and group nothing about virtualbox in here
[16:14] <qin> LuckyStrike_: sudo apt-get install conky
[16:14] <Koobilitoo> i think i got it hopefully :D
[16:15] <Dommer> yay, wireframe chat :P
[16:15] <Koobilitoo> any idea how to disable the splash screen in Virtulbox?
[16:15] <GridCube> qin, ?
[16:15] <treebeen> eaSy: seems to be a problem with the module, apparently there's no easy solution, there seems to be a patch but it involves recompiling the kernel I think
[16:16] <qin> GridCube: yes?
[16:16] <eaSy> How much time to do  this solution ?
[16:16] <jeremym> if i type dpkg -i and the sudo deb package...will that upgrade what is there or install it seperately causing me to have to installed versions of sudo?
[16:16] <eaSy> treebeen: How much time to do  this solution ?
[16:16] <GridCube> qin, you highligted me
[16:16] <wols_> jeremym: dpkg -i sudo*.deb will replace your current sudo version with this new one
[16:17] <BajK> how can I update or reinstall Grub? I think Natty Beta screwed some things up on my notebook and now it doesnt boot properly, while it works fine on my big machine which was installed with natty final
[16:17] <jeremym> ok ty...and my original problem wols_ was corruption
[16:17] <Dommer> I'm running Xfce and will go to the room in a moment, but I was wondering.  For a while my OS has been putting itself on standby when I start it up.  Not a problem if I can shut off all the windows and such, but I was wondering, has anyone had this problem as well?
[16:17] <wols_> eaSy: about 10 minutes depending on the speed of your cpu with compat wireless
[16:17] <jeremym> i have resolved that issue from another server
[16:17] <qin> GridCube: With this: And this one to correct installation of nouveau: http://juranktech.com/2011/03/19/1924/
[16:17] <treebeen> eaSy: have you ever compiled a kernel?
[16:17] <eaSy> i dont know "compat wireless" ?
[16:17] <Koobilitoo> More Coffee!
[16:17] <eaSy> no, never..
[16:18] <GridCube> O.o i don't understand whats that qin
[16:18] <qin> Koobilitoo: Two or one (sugar)?
[16:18] <wols_> BajK: grub-install
[16:18] <Koobilitoo> Qin: Oh a few more then that :D I drink large cups!
[16:18] <qin> GridCube: Gryllida was target, sorry
[16:18] <saliak> magicj: yeah, i'm looking at one now http://www.ee.bgu.ac.il/~microlab/MicroLab/Labs/ScanCodes.htm).  I've piped the output from /dev/hidraw1 to a text file.  if i've got 13 characters in my barcode, shouldn't I have read 13 bytes?  there's a lot of extra crap in there (my text file is 136bytes long.  most of it is 00).
[16:19] <wols_> eaSy: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download
[16:19] <wols_> eaSy: one way to do it
[16:19] <Cybercomunitte> hai all give me free account shells pls
[16:19] <GridCube> :) oh okay qin
[16:19] <Guest49576> hi
[16:19] <treebeen> wols_: isn't compat-wireless in the repo?
[16:19] <qin> Gryllida: And this one to correct installation of nouveau: http://juranktech.com/2011/03/19/1924/
[16:20] <wols_> treebeen: check yourself. and if it is, why would it be newer than the kernel that also is in the repos?
[16:20] <eaSy> wols_: hum..

[16:22] <boolean> GhostBorg: it looks like they removed it from there for 10.04
[16:22] <Koobilitoo> it says 127
[16:22] <tomek_> sudo apt-get ...
[16:22] <boolean> actually it looks like they removed it all together
[16:22]  * boolean grumbles

[16:23] <boolean> thanks GhostBorg
[16:23] <zaemis> hey, anyone know what's up with the paste by highlighting and clicking both mouse buttons? Seems to not work in 11.04. Saw an unhelpful forum post, but not much else on it. Docs say to use middle button, but double buttons used to work in prior versions.
[16:23] <eaSy> wols_: my card will be detected by ubuntu after that ?
[16:23] <wols_> eaSy: no guarantee
[16:23] <treebeen> wols_: hmm, I don't think compat-wireless supports that card
[16:23] <GhostBorg> boolean I'm running 11.04 and thats where it belongs but I do remember it was not created yet.
[16:23] <eaSy> wols_: is it the only one solution?
[16:24] <wols_> treebeen: if it doesn't, then no linux does
[16:24] <KM0201> eaSy: what is your wireless card?
[16:24] <wols_> KM0201: intel 6300
[16:24] <treebeen> wols_: wrong, it's just the eeprom that triggers the error message, there's is a patch for the module
[16:25] <eaSy> Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300

[16:25] <KM0201> eaSy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1420901
[16:25] <wols_> treebeen: is that patch in mainline now?
[16:25] <GhostBorg> boolean - sorry I can't remember what or why I created one but I didn't have one after a fresh install.
[16:25] <KM0201> eaSy: just so you know, i found that in about 3sec
[16:25] <eaSy> Karmic ? I'm on 11.04
[16:26] <KM0201> eaSy: but... you'll prboably have to install to do it.

[16:26] <KM0201> eaSy: so?.. it should still work just the same
[16:26] <eaSy> KM0201: I'm on 11.04 not on 9.xx (karmic)
[16:26] <zaemis> guess noone knows either. :-/ c'est la vie
[16:26] <eaSy> No, I can't found this package
[16:26] <KM0201> eaSy: i'm aware of that, i used the same instructinos for a whacked out atheros driver from 7.10 to 9.04
[16:26] <treebeen> KM0201: even better solution :)
[16:26] <boolean> GhostBorg: tis alright ... a way back, X windws used to have a command line config generator ( xconfigurator or something )

[16:26] <wols_> eaSy: the link for the package is right there... so why can't you find it?
[16:27] <boolean> GhostBorg: I believer you can call create the file with a simple Xorg -configure or something
[16:27] <boolean> just remember to do it from a console

[16:27] <GhostBorg> boolean: Ah, I see.

[16:28] <Koobilitoo> is it possible?
[16:28] <SegFaultAX> I want to sync my hdd to an external drive in its entirety, but I don't want to use a simple cp. What are some good tools for this? I essentially want to run an rsync job locally across 2 computers.
[16:28] <wols_> eaSy: the forum post KM0201 just pointed you at
[16:28] <ActionPa1snip> eaSy: karmic is eol
[16:28] <wols_> ActionPa1snip: and irrelevant for him. don't distract him
[16:28] <ActionPa1snip> ok
[16:28] <computerx> Why not actually use rsync then?
[16:28] <eaSy> I know it is eol, so how can I install a package for it on my 11.04?
[16:29] <KM0201> eaSy: first link... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&pws=0&q=intel+6300+ubuntu+11.04
[16:29] <ActionPa1snip> SegFaultAX: grsync is a nice gui for it too
[16:29] <treebeen> well, it appears that you just need the firmware to make it work...
[16:29] <SegFaultAX> computerx, ActionPa1snip: So you reckon regular old rsync is the best tool for it?
[16:29] <computerx> It's what I'd use
[16:29] <wols_> eaSy: and you got a link to that firmware, yet you refuse to download it. is there a reason for it?
[16:29] <Koobilitoo> see they so nice they spoon feed links to you haha
[16:30] <wols_> eaSy: installing a firmware won't harm you. promise
[16:30] <treebeen> eaSy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1420901 - follow instructions from first post
[16:30] <KM0201> eaSy: you ar emaking this way way harder than it needs to be.. why are you wanting to use a karmic backports package?
[16:30] <azlon> how can i set a size limit on a folder? (like a user's home folder)
[16:30] <wols_> !quota
[16:30] <Gp2mv3> salut
[16:30] <wols_> azlon: via quotas
[16:30] <SegFaultAX> computerx: Is there an issue syncing my primary /dev/sda onto another drive while it's in use, though?
[16:30] <Gp2mv3> hi* sorry
[16:31] <SegFaultAX> computerx: I essentially want a continuous backup system.
[16:31] <azlon> !quotas
[16:31] <wols_> SegFaultAX: yes. don't let anything write to that drive while you sync or you could lose data
[16:31] <azlon> !quota
[16:31] <ActionPa1snip> azlon: you can enforce quotas
[16:31] <SegFaultAX> wols_: Any way around this problem?
[16:31] <Gp2mv3> I have a problem with Flash, My CPU is at 100% when i watch a simple video on Youtube, is there a solution ?
[16:31] <wols_> azlon: ubottu has no factoid about it. ubuntu wiki or google most certainly has
[16:31] <wols_> SegFaultAX: remount it read only
[16:31] <ActionPa1snip> SegFaultAX: you can use dd or partimage (both in live cd) to copy the data)
[16:31] <SegFaultAX> Gp2mv3: Don't use flash on linux on under-powered machines.
[16:32] <wols_> Gp2mv3: threaten to burn adobe programmers until they give you a solution
[16:32] <SegFaultAX> ActionPa1snip: I want it to be tolerant of reboots and normal use. Which is why I want continuous syncro instead of a one-time snapshot.
[16:32] <Gp2mv3> SegFaultAX: I dont think a core 2 duo is an under-powered machine.
[16:32] <SegFaultAX> wols_: That might work for my /home filesystem, but surely I can't remount / as ro?
[16:32] <ActionPa1snip> SegFaultAX: cron a job to rsync the data
[16:32] <eaSy> treebeen: I've alreeady have this firmware
[16:33] <eaSy> treebeen: this ucode in my lib/firmare
[16:33] <cyrus> hello
[16:33] <Gp2mv3> wols_: it's an idea
[16:33] <m-pins> gente, sabeis si ubuntu tiene alguna version para tablets?
[16:33] <SegFaultAX> What's that one Apple product that does versioned back-ups of your filesystem?
[16:33] <Guest59344> i can t do update
[16:34] <SegFaultAX> Time machine or something similar, I think?
[16:34] <zerone> hello
[16:34] <eaSy> wols_: I cant find the download link of the firmware.. :(
[16:34] <computerx> If he runs rsync -rl every hour or so, surely he will only lose a tiny bit of data from a couple of files if they're being written to, and only until the next rsync pass?
[16:34] <KM0201> eaSy: it's right in that post.. it says "here".. click it
[16:34] <m-pins> sorry, i thought i was in another channel
[16:34] <SegFaultAX> computerx: That's actually not a bad idea.
[16:34] <eaSy> KM0201: But it is already in my firmware dir !?
[16:35] <Guest59344> can t be able to install anything on xubuntu
[16:35] <ActionPa1snip> computerx: that's what i'd do
[16:35] <ActionPa1snip> SegFaultAX: I do a nightly backup using cp, it's quick and dirty
[16:35] <SegFaultAX> ActionPa1snip: But not fault tolerant.
[16:35] <eaSy> KM0201: but ok i download it, and after? modprobe -r and modprobe? And after should I reboot?
[16:35] <Guest59344> can anyone reply to me pls
[16:36] <SegFaultAX> ActionPa1snip: I don't want to create corrupted files in the case of an outage.
[16:36] <KM0201> eaSy: i would guess so...
[16:36] <MK``> every time I login my gnome panel "style" seems to change, how can I get it to stick?
[16:36] <SegFaultAX> MK``: Can you be more specific?
[16:36] <ActionPa1snip> SegFaultAX: it gives a backup from 24hours ago, depends how often the data changes
[16:36] <eaSy> Ok, thank people, i come back
[16:37] <MK``> Like, the little bar that you see to let you move widgets, sometimes it's flat, sometimes it looks like it's sticking out.
[16:37] <computerx> SegFaultAX: Is rsnapshot any use?
[16:37] <SegFaultAX> computerx: It could be. I've considered that as well.
[16:38] <computerx> I have never used it, a friend suggested it to me, but I've been to busy to move away from my rsync and cp system

[16:38] <Roasted> ?
[16:38] <computerx> I make nightlies of my workspace partition, and my webserver /home onto a seperate internal hard drive. I will soon have that done by cron by my fileserver./
[16:38] <Dommer> is there any way to shiw ur friend list in Xchat?
[16:39] <MK``> And, the icon for the update manager changes completely. Right now it's a blurry orange thing, other times it's the more high-resolution exclamation point image
[16:39] <SegFaultAX> computerx: Can you pastie your cron jobs for that?
[16:39] <computerx> Actually, I don't have a cron for it, because it relies on me being here, I run it manually
[16:39] <SegFaultAX> computerx: Ah, well then :)
[16:40] <fellipe> hi friends. do anyone knows a solution to make image backup of a entire OS without turn off the server?
[16:41] <ActionPa1snip> fellipe: you will need the partitions offline to image. You will need to schedule some down time
[16:41] <SegFaultAX> fellipe: Do you jsut need a one time snapshot?
[16:42] <fellipe> well
[16:42] <computerx> This is what I do use, and will adapt to a cron job: http://pastebin.com/bqXx4Ugi
[16:42] <fellipe> it's a snapshot
[16:42] <fellipe> would be ok
[16:43] <fellipe> the real situation here is we need to make snapshot of our firewall
[16:43] <fellipe> but it obviously cannot be turned off
[16:45] <Roomba> hey hello guys. How can i set a rewriterule that applies to everything and override it later? thanks.
[16:45] <osse> Is there a nice way to search all buffers? :grep and :vimgrep seems to be tailored for files. :bufdo g// is a bit harsh since it changes the buffer your in etc and reports errors. Ditto for :bufdo /pattern
[16:45] <osse> s/your/you're/
[16:46] <azlon> how can i auto delete the oldest file when a folder reaches a certain size? for example, if i have 10 500MB files and i want to add another 500 MB file, i would need to delete the oldest file in the folder first. what would i search on google for this?
[16:46] <Roomba> i simply want to redirect anything to 404 and explicitly allow only some folders
[16:47] <SegFaultAX> osse: Normally I would suggest bufdo, but if you can't use them, what are you trying to do exactly?
[16:47] <ChrisBuchholz> How do i search for "network shares"? My WD TV HD Live mediacenter shares the external harddrive connected to it over the network (and i can see it in the networks tab in finder under OS X) so how do i find it and add it so i can access its content?
[16:48] <osse> SegFaultAX, oh god. This was meant for the #vim channel :/ I would basically like to grep all buffers. :bufdo g// is ok, but if it doesn't find anything it prints errors, and it changes the buffer you're in when it's done
[16:49] <MK``> Sometimes when my computer is starting up, it starts gdm AND kdm, and then immediately kills kdm. How can I get it to not start kdm at all?

The problem occurs when I'm trying to copy a folder which says I don't have the required privileges to copy it, so I'm trying to use the 'su' command to do so, but I do not have the pass for it - What is the pass?
[16:54] <hazz> but from ubuntu side no way ,it always says nc from a openbsd packages
[16:54] <computerx> Fireblasto, use sudo instead
[16:54] <pickford> anyone here got time for a complete idiot?

[16:55] <computerx> Depends, try us :D
[16:55] <wols_> petrolman: don't just PM people
[16:55] <Fireblasto> computerx, I would but I need a graphical interface to copy the files as I do not know ubuntu terminal commands
[16:55] <Pici> hazz: It sounds like you don't have netcat installed.
[16:56] <computerx> gksudo then
[16:56] <wols_> and your ubuntu runs inside a VM and shows ~30% usage in top and 34% usage in system monitor. while it's not exactly the same, it pretty much is realistically the same
[16:56] <IdleOne> Fireblasto: in terminal run: gksudo nautilus
[16:56] <wols_> what the windows host shows is utterly and totally irrelevant
[16:56] <hazz> what nc is installed by default in /bin/nc
[16:56] <pickford> well, i dont get the sound to work, ive been in alsamixer and unmuted the s/pdif but it still wont work, i cant even select it in soundoption just find it in alsa...? what am i doing wrong?
[16:57] <computerx> Wow pickford, that's not an idiot question...
[16:57] <Pici> hazz: It can either be provided by netcat-openbsd or netcat-traditional.  I'm not sure hich is different.

[16:58] <Petskull> Hi!
[16:58] <wols_> Fireblasto: do you have midnight commander, then start it with "sudo mc"
[16:58] <wols_> Fireblasto: that gives you a "gui" of sorts you can use
 Fireblasto: in terminal run: gksudo nautilus
[16:58] <Fireblasto> that worked for me
[16:58] <Petskull> Is there an Ubuntu roaming profiles/Active Directory-like solution for an all-linux shop? "(1) format/install ubuntu, (2) run X program, (3) enter the IP of your server, (4) go have a martini" ?

[17:01] <Axabaxa> I just need a connection from my pc to the router so I can install SDM or CCP
[17:01] <Pici> hazz: Look at: update-alternatives --query nc  to see which binaries nc is and could be pointed to.
[17:02] <Axabaxa> @worls because I dint find any nework related irc channel
[17:02] <dFshadow> petskull - he was talking to someone else. my friend is looking to hire someone
[17:02] <ActionPa1snip> Axabaxa: try ##networking
[17:02] <Petskull> ah
[17:02] <IdleOne> Axabaxa: ##networking
[17:02] <Axabaxa> Ok thanks
[17:02] <ActionPa1snip> Axabaxa: or ##network
[17:02] <wols_> Axabaxa: that doesn't mean it's a ubuntu related question. so you are OT. btw, there is #networking on freenode. have a nice day
[17:02] <Petskull> dFshadow, for what/what location?
[17:02] <ken> Question: Can anyone assist with pointing me in the right direction for installing a modem driver for a Zoom USB Modem Model 3095. I followed the instruction on the Ubuntu site however that did not hemp me any.
[17:02] <azlon> is there a minimal install of Ubuntu Server? something like 200MB or less?
[17:02] <ebisudave> wols_: Okay... I have an Android currently connected and mounted by USB to computer B. I'm currently sitting at Computer A. I have SSH access. I want to be able to mount and access the Android directories via SSH. However, I can't see the Android anywhere in the directory structure.
[17:02] <ActionPa1snip> Axabaxa: you do realise config backups for routers are tiny?
[17:03] <wols_> ken: check the USB id for it and google it
[17:03] <hazz> Pici, thank you i will test it later on
[17:03] <volkswagner> azlon: try turnkeylinux
[17:03] <ken> Thank you.
[17:03] <rs0832> xskydevilx, maybe something like glade(glade.gnome.org)
[17:04] <volkswagner> azlon:  Turnkey Linux has a jeos live cd, absolutely minimal
[17:04] <wols_> ebisudave: you said you have the phone mounted and then you say you don't see it anywhere. only one of those can be right. which one?
[17:04] <wols_> Petskull:  <petrolman> typisch deutsch
[17:04] <wols_> that one really endears people to help you
[17:04] <Petskull> wols_, ah
[17:04] <wols_> oops. was for petrolman, sorry
[17:05] <volkswagner> anyone have any idea what to check for my blinking cursor on tty1 11.04 fresh install via alternate CD
[17:05] <petrolman> hehe
[17:06] <ebisudave> wols_: WHat I mean is, if I sit at Computer B, I can see the Android on the desktop, and in Nautlius. However, if I sit at computer A, connect by SSH to computer B, the device doesn't seem to be there. There's no directory in /mnt, /media, or anywhere.
[17:06] <wols_> ebisudave: and how does nautilus show it?
[17:06] <wols_> ebisudave: or what does "mount" show?
[17:07] <Palzieri> Hello
[17:07] <ebisudave> wols_: Hang on... need to look at the other computer to answer accurately.
[17:07] <ActionPa1snip> !cookie | wols
[17:07] <osse> Where did the "Run in terminal" option from Alt+F2 go?
[17:07] <ebisudave> wols_: Also, what do you mean by "what does "mount" show"? You mean the mount command at the command line?
[17:08] <wols_> ebisudave: yes. if something is actually mounted, "mount" shows it
[17:08] <Palzieri> My Synaptic does show errors all the time! Can somebody help me????
[17:08] <wols_> !errors | Palzieri
[17:08] <ActionPa1snip> Palzieri: can you give the output of: lsb_release -a; sudo apt-get update
[17:08] <ActionPa1snip> Palzieri: use a pastebin to host
[17:10] <Palzieri> No LSB modules are available.
[17:10] <Palzieri> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[17:10] <Palzieri> Description:	Ubuntu 9.04

[17:10] <Palzieri> Codename:	jaunty
[17:10] <FloodBot1> Palzieri: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:10] <ActionPa1snip> Palzieri: jaunty is no longer supported in any way, shape or form
[17:10] <francisco> Hello
[17:10] <Palzieri> how can I switch to another one??
[17:10] <francisco> Where can I find the CD Folder at? I've put the CD in my computer but I can't find it :/
[17:11] <wols_> !jaunty
[17:11] <ActionPa1snip> !eol | Palzieri
[17:11] <Guest56932> Hmm
[17:11] <ebisudave> wols_: Nautilus shows my Android device as if it were a directory called /media/ANDROID16GB. If I run "mount" at the command line when connected by SSH from Computer A, it gives me a lot of lines of output (example:/dev/sda5 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)), but nothing that looks like the Android device.
[17:11] <wols_> Palzieri: and due to this end of life you have your problems. you must upgrade to a supported ubuntu version
[17:11] <Guest56932> where can I find the cd folder at? I've just put the cd in my comp and I can't find it
[17:11] <wols_> ebisudave: "mount |grep media"
[17:12] <Guest56932> I want to put in the cd folder a file
[17:12] <ActionPa1snip> Plazma: also, when someone says "use a pastebin" can you please DO use the pastebin so you don't spam the channel
[17:12] <ebisudave> wols_: mount |grep media returns nothing.
[17:12] <wols_> Guest56932: how do you want to do this? CDs are read only and therefore mounted read only too
[17:13] <ResQue> i seem to have limited disk space left on my ubuntu parition what is the best way to find out which folders are takeing up the most space?
[17:13] <wols_> ebisudave: mount the android device manually and use sshfs to access that remotely
[17:13] <ActionPa1snip> Plazma: sory, wrong target. Tab-spaz
[17:13] <Guest56932> wols_ I want to move the windows iso I had in my old cd, it got broken but I kept in it in a folde
[17:13] <jagdeep>  hi all,i m facing a problem with ubuntu 11.04.google chrome in my ubuntu 11.04 stop working.and it does not run even i have reinstalled it.
[17:13] <ActionPa1snip> jagdeep: doe sit run as another user?
[17:13] <Guest56932> wols_ All I kept was the windows iso
[17:14] <ebisudave> wols_: Sorry, I'm a little more noob than that. How would I mount the device "manually". It always comes up automatically whenever I plug it in.
[17:14] <wols_> Guest56932: so you want to burn a copy of your windows cd?
[17:14] <Guest56932> wols_ exactly
[17:14] <jagdeep> no i havnt tried it yet.
[17:14] <ActionPa1snip> jagdeep: its worth exploring ;)
[17:14] <wols_> Guest56932: use a burn program and burn it then. there is no "cd folder" to do that. there isn't such a thing on windows either btw. at least not for bootable CDs
[17:14] <volkswagner> ResQue: sudo du / --max-depth =1 -h
[17:15] <multipass> anyone know if theres a menu bar for gnome that is like tint2?
[17:15] <Guest56932> wols_: then how am I supposed to burn the .iso file if I don't know the CD? Or is it displayed by the program? I've never done this before, sorry for noob question xD
[17:15] <wols_> ebisudave: fdisk -l   shows a 16GB partition somewhere?
[17:15] <jagdeep> you gave me an idea i should try  it.
[17:15] <ech0s7> hi
[17:15] <wols_> Guest56932: yes it's done by the program. just like in windows too. have you never burned a CD on windows?
[17:15] <ActionPa1snip> multipass: why not just use tint2 instead?
[17:15] <Guest56932> wols_ No, I've never burned it
[17:15] <ech0s7> where is the config file with module and daemon to start at boot?
[17:15] <ech0s7> where is the config file with module and daemon to start at boot?ù
[17:15] <ebisudave> wols_: No, "fdisk -l" also returns nothing.
[17:16] <reber> hi. Can't read a dvd. Any clues ? [mp3 @ 0xb702c7f0] Could not find codec parameters (Audio: mp1, 0 channels, s16) libdvdnav: Unable to find map file '/home/remi/.dvdnav/DVDVolume.map'  libdvdnav: DVD disk reports itself with Region mask 0x00fd0000. Regions: 2
[17:16] <multipass> ActionPa1snip: i am using tint2, but im talking about the "applications/places/system" can it do that?
[17:16] <wols_> ebisudave: sudo fdisk -l  then
[17:16] <ech0s7> ebisudave: sudo
[17:16] <tucemiux> sudo fdisk -l
[17:16] <ActionPa1snip> multipass: not sure, one may exist. Let me see
[17:17] <tucemiux> reber,  look in front of your DVD rom, it should say something like DVD +-RW, what does it say?
[17:17] <ActionPa1snip> multipass: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64599
[17:17] <volkswagner> ResQue: sudo du /home/ --max-depth =1 -h sudo du /usr/share --max-depth =1 -h  just adjust foldernames to see what is inside
[17:17] <RusNeuroMancer> Can someone please look into this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/791373 ?
[17:17] <ebisudave> wols_: Okay, sudo worked, but again, nothing looks obviously like the Android device.
[17:18] <ebisudave> wols_: wait, I was wrong.
[17:18] <Guest56932> Psst the dvd & cd player button doesn't work, how can I take the cd out? LOLX D
[17:18] <wols_> ebisudave: pastebin the output
[17:18] <wols_> Guest56932: you unmount it
[17:18] <Guest56932> wols_ wtf  D: HOw
[17:18] <wols_> Guest56932: then the button will work again
[17:18] <ech0s7> where is the config file with module and daemon to start at boot?ù
[17:18] <ebisudave> wols_: Sorry, I missed this at first. I think this is the Android device: Disk /dev/sdb: 16.2 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>4 bytes
[17:18] <Guest56932> wols_ there's no button in linux which will activate the open proc?
[17:19] <wols_> ebisudave: mount |grep sdb   then
[17:19] <ActionPa1snip> Guest56932: sudo eject /dev/sr0
[17:19] <reber> tucemiux, it says DVD RW / DVD +R DL
[17:19] <ebisudave> wols_: returns blank.
[17:19] <Guest56932> it worked for the thing over it
[17:19] <avinashhm> Hi friends .. any way to uninstall packagev2.0 and install package1.0 .. any help pls
[17:19] <Guest56932> how do I open the other one?
[17:20] <Guest56932> thx so much
[17:20] <Guest56932> worked :D
[17:20] <wols_> avinashhm: that is a very bad idea
[17:20] <avinashhm> wols_, i know .. but another package is dependent on 1.0 ;-(
[17:21] <tucemiux> reber,  the DVD that youre trying to play is DVD +R? if it's DVD -R you **might** be out of luck, also it looks like you bought the DVD in another country from where you bought DVD rom, have you ever been able to watch the DVD?
[17:21] <wols_> avinashhm: I asked you something before and still wait for an answer
[17:21] <basso> Hello, i want to learn C, does anyone know of any good websites for this quest?

[17:23] <tucemiux> m3asmi, you deleted your fstab? LoL
[17:23] <ActionPa1snip> m3asmi: oh boy, not good
[17:23] <wols_> avinashhm: you were asking about libusb before?
[17:23] <reber> tucemiux, i know about regionset thing. But it's limitied in numbers of switching. I never tryed to play any dvd on this laptop until today. This dvd plays fine tho on a home dvd player
[17:23] <ActionPa1snip> m3asmi: I can give you mine as a sample, your UUIDs will be different
[17:23] <m3asmi> yes I knew :(
[17:23] <ActionPa1snip> m3asmi: you will need liveCD to fix it
[17:23] <avinashhm> wols_, correct  .. i am trying to use a phidget and need libusb installed
[17:23] <avinashhm> wols_, libusb-dev infact
[17:23] <thoidingjam> Hello, i use this 9.10 karmic linux gnome2.28.1 (i dno if it makes sense to what i want) I want to be able to have a password security when at the system start up.
[17:23] <azlon> how can i verify my repos from CLI?
[17:23] <braiam> how can I fix/update my locales, they had a bad format
[17:24] <ActionPa1snip> m3asmi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/616871/
[17:24] <volkswagner> ActionPalsnip:  I did have to manually install kernel during install, the WebDT 366LX can be picky
[17:24] <azlon> i want to make sure i have the main repo enabled
[17:24] <ActionPa1snip> m3asmi: i have a seperate /home partition
[17:24] <Ahmuck> thoidingjam: password security?
[17:24] <wols_> avinashhm: apt-get output when you want to install that package please. commandline too
[17:24] <thoidingjam> yes

[17:24] <ActionPa1snip> m3asmi: sudo blkid    wil show the UUIDsd
[17:24] <joel135> m3asmi: check if you have a /etc/fstab.BAK file. At least I have
[17:25] <avinashhm> wols_, here u go http://paste.ubuntu.com/616872/
[17:25] <m3asmi> I haven't ftab.bac
[17:25] <a3m-nix> night all, I want ask about tv tuner in linux
[17:25] <m3asmi> I don't have a fstab.bak
[17:25] <tucemiux> reber,  again - you never mentioned what type of DVD you have, if its DVD+ or DVD-,  im trying to figure out a technical reason why the DVD wouldnt work on your computer -- look at the link and troubleshoot from there, make sure you have all software installed
[17:25] <ActionPa1snip> m3asmi: may help, try using that. May be a quick fix :)
[17:25] <ActionPa1snip> m3asmi: oh, you DON'T. Misread it
[17:25] <SultansElephant> I've been having problems, probably due to compositing I'm guessing, with the top bar in applications disappearing, docky not unhiding itself on mouseover or not compositing (not sure), on-mouse over pop up description things not going away (like 'Close Window') and being unable, usually when switching between workspaces, to get back to a program in another workspace.. it sort of just acts like its not on top
[17:26] <m3asmi> ActionPa1snip: yes  ,think you
[17:26] <a3m-nix> I have tv tuner usb gadmei utv 330, buat when I try in linux error like this
[17:26] <joel135> m3asmi: check if you have a /etc/mtab file

[17:26] <tucemiux> m3asmi, you can create a .back file, just sudo copy /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
[17:26] <ActionPa1snip> m3asmi: my file will help you reform yours, simply change the UUIDs, the rest should be the same
[17:26] <a3m-nix> can somebody help me ?
[17:26] <wols_> avinashhm: apt-get install libusb libusb-dev   should fix it. you will probably need to apt-get upgrade anyways
[17:27] <thoidingjam> ? he left lol, :)
[17:27] <ebisudave> Okay, so I guess my question has evolved. Why can I see my Android with "sudo fdisk -l", but not with "mount |grep sdb".
[17:27] <thoidingjam> again.
[17:27] <thoidingjam> Hello, i use this 9.10 karmic linux gnome2.28.1 (i dno if it makes sense to what i want) I want to be able to have a password security when at the system start up.
[17:27] <whatsup159951> hi
[17:27] <whatsup159951> how to access more than one channel via irssi?
[17:27] <avinashhm> wols_, i get .. E: Couldn't find package libusb .. ;-( .. can't update since not much space ..
[17:27] <m3asmi> ActionPa1snip : think you verry much  ;)
[17:28] <wols_> ebisudave: I don't use nautilus so I dunno how it accesses your android device. if /mnt is an empty directory you can "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt" provided sudo fdisk -l shows a sdb1
[17:28] <joel135> m3asmi: you can use /etc/mtab as a template
[17:28] <ActionPa1snip> m3asmi: np man
[17:28] <saliak> I have device that shows up under /dev/hidraw1  .. is it possible to make a udev rule that'd give it a consistent name elsewhere (like /dev/scanner)?  I've tried "SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTR{idVendor}=="04b4", ATTR{idProduct}=="bca1", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="barcode"" with no luck.  any ideas?
[17:29] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[17:29] <tucemiux> whatsup159951,  go to youtube and search for an irssi tutorial
[17:29] <wols_> avinashhm: apt-get update && apt-get install libusb-0.1-4 libusb-dev
[17:30] <ebisudave> wols_: Hey... nice! I can see the contents of my Android device at least.
[17:30] <Pici> whatsup159951: http://irssi.org has a bunch of nice documentation.
[17:30] <wols_> whatsup159951: /join anotherchannel  and then switch via "alt+2" and "alt+3" and so on
[17:30] <m3asmi> joel135: no ,it have just the partition without the / partition
[17:31] <whatsup159951> wols_, thanks a lot :)
[17:31] <thoidingjam> can you help me with system password at start up? i dont have one, i want one . how?
[17:31] <ActionPa1snip> m3asmi: then you won't need my /home line, just the one for /
[17:31] <tucemiux> wols_,  where do I configure my username and password in irsi?? o.O
[17:31] <wols_> whatsup159951: gdm should prompt you for a password. if it doesn't run gksudo gdm-setup (I think...)
[17:32] <wols_> tucemiux: for that you read the beginner documentation on irssi.org. it explains it
[17:32] <ActionPa1snip> thoidingjam: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root. You can then run:  passwd foo      to set the password of foo, you can reboot by running: reboot    and log on as foo with the password you set
[17:32] <wols_> oops. thoidingjam that was for you,not whatsup159951
[17:32] <tucemiux> wols_,  i thought I would cheat and ask you but thanks for the link though LoL  I just installed irssi right now and taking it for a test spin
[17:33] <wols_> tucemiux: your question can't be answered in one line which is why the documentation is the better way
[17:33] <ebisudave> wols_: I can't seem to unmount the drive. When I do "sudo umount /mnt", it says "device is busy". How do I unmount it?
[17:34] <jjflash> hi
[17:34] <avinashhm> wols_, thanks .. i really appreciate ... u were of gr8 help
[17:34] <tucemiux> wols_,  yup yup im going to read it, be right back, dont go away anytime soon! :-)
[17:34] <edbian> ebisudave: cd out of it
[17:35] <ebisudave> edbian: Doh! That worked. Thanks.
[17:35] <edbian> ebisudave: sure
[17:35] <jjflash> im looking for some help with udev: i'm just using ubuntu for a kiosk application, (ie: a 24h working panel with  touch panel) and i would like to send an UDP message to a running application whenever a USB device gets mounted
[17:35] <jtannenbaum> accidentally installed GRUB from Live CD in my ubuntu partition's /home/ folder, how would I undo this and install it correctly?
[17:36] <wols_> jtannenbaum: reinstall it to wherever you want it
[17:36] <jjflash> i'm already using udev with a custom rule, and it works kinda fine...but i don't know how to know where the drive is mounted ...any ideas?
[17:36] <wols_> jtannenbaum: via "grub-install"
[17:36] <thoidingjam> actionpalship i am a noob for that. wols, i typed gksudo it ask me for a "program" and choice as "what/who"
[17:37] <jtannenbaum> wols_: ah okay.. well, I have an ubuntu partition and a win7 partition, and when I mount the ubuntu parition, I only get the /home folder, not the / directory
[17:37] <eiriksvin> has anyone ever tried running Steam through Wine and installing games through it?
[17:37] <eiriksvin> does it work?
[17:37] <wols_> jtannenbaum: mount how?
[17:37] <banetoid> hello?
[17:37] <wols_> eiriksvin: tons of people
[17:37] <foobar> seems to
[17:38] <wols_> eiriksvin: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19444
[17:38] <eiriksvin> really, cus I want to play Americas Army 3, and I'm d/ling it right now
[17:38] <jtannenbaum> wols_: sudo mount /dev/sda5
[17:38] <wols_> jtannenbaum: sudo fdisk -l
[17:38] <jtannenbaum> I recently rearranged the partitions so I could install win7
[17:38] <banetoid> does anyone know what should i do, i try to play heroes 5, but after intro video it shuts
[17:38] <szal> jtannenbaum: destination folder (mount point)?
[17:39] <thoidingjam> and gksudo gm-setup only asks to reenter my admin password. i want it like : Having a security password window.
[17:39] <wols_> banetoid: appdb.winehq.org knows if you can do anything
[17:39] <jtannenbaum> /mnt when I installed grub
[17:39] <ActionPa1snip> eiriksvin: check the appdb
[17:39] <eiriksvin> mmm seems like it works fine
[17:39] <ActionPa1snip> eiriksvin: unless its native :)
[17:39] <KM0201> jtannenbaum: why don't you just put grub on the mbr, like most normal people?
[17:39] <mikebeecham> hi guys - I've got the lastest version and all my updates are up-to-date. However, the framerate on ALL videos is REALLY slow. What could be causing this?
[17:39] <szal> jtannenbaum: of course you won't see "/home" when you mount the partition to /mnt
[17:39] <Jordan_U> jetole: Add the "rootwait" kernel parameter.
[17:40] <wols_> mikebeecham: wrong/bad videodriver
[17:40] <FrankZ96> DO you guys know if there are ways of booting the Pendrive instead of CD? I need to install my Windows ISO but I don't have a decent cd yet, I have a pendrive with the ISO File, but would it work ? I don't know x,x
[17:40] <jtannenbaum> no, the point is when I mounted it it only mounted /home
[17:40] <mikebeecham> wols....how would I check mate?
[17:40] <thoidingjam> later then.
[17:40] <jtannenbaum> KM0201: no idea
[17:40] <jjflash> is there any information describing how ubuntu automounts drivers? i.e.: interaction between udev and udisks?
[17:40] <ActionPa1snip> FrankZ96: there are ways, i'd ask in ##windows
[17:40] <KM0201> jtannenbaum: you're making this way harder than necessary but.. proceed.
[17:40] <wols_> FrankZ96: yes it can work if you put your windows files properly on the usb flashdrive. but we don't know how since we run ubuntu obviously. you can mount your flashdrive easily with "mount"
[17:41] <eiriksvin> heheheee, my cats benny thinks hes a dog, he has a piece of meat from a sizzler steak and hes carryin it around in his mouth, like woof, I'mma eat this steak!
[17:41] <FrankZ96> I can't understand it well yet :/ If I have the .iso file in pendrive what do I have to change in Linux? I use xubuntu and I got windows xp deleted long time ago, so I need to make a new partition or something like that :/
[17:41] <wols_> eiriksvin: please keep on topic
[17:41] <eiriksvin> sorry :D
[17:42] <Pici> eiriksvin: If you just want to chat, use #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:42] <hazz> Pici, ok done it i was get a wrong idea thanks indeed for your suggestion
[17:42] <wols_> FrankZ96: we don't know about windows. we only know about ubuntu. we cannot help you in finding out how you put your windows iso file on the usb stick
[17:42] <Pici> hazz: you're welcome.
[17:42] <ebisudave> Okay... I can mount my Android device in the SSH shell. On to phase 2. I want to run Banshee and have it see the device. But even thought I have the Android device mounted, Banshee isn't seeing it. Any idea why?
[17:42] <eiriksvin> hah
[17:43] <jtannenbaum> wols_: http://i.imgur.com/KU9xl.png
[17:43] <wols_> jtannenbaum: next time, mount /dev/sda1
[17:43] <wols_> jtannenbaum: it's most likely your / partitioin
[17:43] <jtannenbaum> alrighty
[17:44] <jtannenbaum> I'm sure it isn't
[17:44] <jtannenbaum> it's flagged with boot last time I gparted
[17:44] <jtannenbaum> or something
[17:44] <ebisudave> What does banshee need to recognize a device plugged in by USB?
[17:44] <wols_> jtannenbaum: instead of being so sure, why don't you actually check?
[17:44] <MagePsycho> hi guys
[17:45] <jjflash> nobody ....udevs here? :)
[17:45] <tucemiux> wols_, so to configure freenode, I would d something like -->network irc.freenode.net
[17:45] <Gargille> qin, the link did not solve it.
[17:45] <wols_> tucemiux: #irssi is a great channel for irssi questions. as is the documentation on irssi.org
[17:46] <banetoid> i did chek the winehq, but it didn't help. I don't know how to use wine and there is old information btw
[17:46] <sivakumar> is there any software for .net
[17:46] <wols_> banetoid: even old information is valuable
[17:46] <tucemiux> wols_,  but I wonder if there's anyone with a pulse in there, lemme go find out
[17:46] <wols_> sivakumar: lots. apt-cache search mono
[17:46] <sivakumar> lots
[17:46] <wols_> tucemiux: yes there is. but people who seem to be to lazy to read docs might not get answers. occupational hazard of the lazy
[17:47] <magicj> my screen saver fails.  Reason is: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display,  how do I fix this?
[17:47] <banetoid> It just tells, what works with that game, what doesn't, i dont know even how to use the program
[17:47] <jtannenbaum> wols_: mounted it, the home folder is empty
[17:47] <sivakumar> wols_, what lots. is it  a package
[17:47] <jtannenbaum> as in not my Linux
[17:47] <Jordan_U> jtannenbaum: The boot flag is irrelevant as far as grub is concerned. You definitely do *not* want to install grub to sda2, or any partition. Grub's boot sector should always be installed to the mbr, /dev/sda.
[17:47] <wols_> jtannenbaum: cause your home folder is in /dev/sda5....
[17:48] <jtannenbaum> yes, which I believe is my linux parition that I boot to
[17:48] <wols_> sivakumar: no. it is the common english word "lots". use a dictionary if you need an explanation for it
[17:48] <jtannenbaum> or used to until Windows stole the attention
[17:48] <wols_> jtannenbaum: no it never was. sda1 is your linux partition you booted. always was and unless you change a lot more always will be
[17:49] <wols_> jtannenbaum: /dev/sda5 is your /home partition. you use for some reason or other two partitions for your linux installation
[17:49] <azlon> i am currently running 10.04 server. how can i upgrade to 11.04 server from CLI?
[17:49] <w30>  I want to edit the dash in Unity; How?
[17:49] <edbian> azlon: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to include normal relseases then sudo do-release-upgrade
[17:49] <FrankZ96> what's spanish ubuntu channel?
[17:49] <jpds> w30: The main icon screen?
[17:49] <KM0201> !es
[17:50] <sivakumar> wols_, THEN WHAT IS THE ANS FOR MY QUESTION ABOUT .NET SOFTWARE IN UBUNTU
[17:50] <m3asmi> sudo service isc-dhcp-server start
[17:50] <m3asmi>  * Starting ISC DHCP server dhcpd                                                                                * check syslog for diagnostics.    [fail]
[17:50]  * wols_ puts the obnoxious sivakumar on ignore
[17:50] <w30> jpds, what's the main icon screen?
[17:50] <edbian> wols get yelled at
[17:50] <sivakumar> wols_, sorry i cant get u
[17:51] <ebisudave> Um... anyone? Got an Android connected by USB, got it mounted at the command line... and yet Banshee won't see it. What can I do to get banshee to see my Android?
[17:51] <ikonia> sivakumar: mono is a large framework that will allow certain levels of .net software to work on Linux
[17:52] <wols_> ebisudave: can you point banshee to the mountpoint where your mp3s or whatever are?
[17:52] <avinashhm> Hi , while doing apt-get update, i get '  404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]' .. is there a new ip to use ?
[17:52] <avinashhm> any help pls
[17:52] <ikonia> sivakumar: if you are not aware of this, I suggest you research mono on linux
[17:52] <wols_> avinashhm: full commandline and its output would be better
[17:52] <sivakumar> ikonia, thank u for sql sever
[17:52] <ebisudave> wols_: There doesn't seem to be anything in the Banshee interface to do it manually.  I was hoping it was something more general about the way USB devices were accessed that might be the key.
[17:54] <jtannenbaum> ok, I installed grub on sda1, now it only boots to Ubuntu
[17:54] <sivakumar> ikonia, no no i am asking u for sql server software which is needed for .net software
[17:54] <rww> avinashhm: Looks like you have jaunty and lucid repositories enabled.  If you're still on there, I'll give you upgrade information. If you're on lucid, you can just remove the jaunty repositories.
[17:55] <ActionPa1snip> ikonia: only quite? ;)
[17:56] <GTRsdk> My netbook crashed twice (once on Natty and again on Oneiric), is there a way to fix this?
[17:56] <avinashhm> rwat, wols_ , i am on lucid .. 10.04 LTS .. can i comment out jaunty in sources.lst ?
[17:56] <wols_> avinashhm: yes
[17:56] <rww> avinashhm: did you check that you're on lucid using lsb_release -a?
[17:56] <GTRsdk> actually, I have the netbook freezing
[17:57] <MagePsycho> can you help me to find the latest updated files and limit the result to 10
[17:57] <avinashhm> rww, yep .. told Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
[17:57] <nabi> hello
[17:57] <rww> avinashhm: then yes, you can just comment out the jaunty repositories
[17:57] <nabi> how can i upgrade my firefox in ubunut
[17:58] <yugii> Bonjour tout le monde...
[17:58] <rww> avinashhm: or edit them from jaunty to lucid.
[17:58] <GTRsdk> Is it a problem in Firefox?
[17:58] <yugii> Problème d'impression !
[17:58] <rww> !fr | yugii
[17:58] <sabiancrash_cgx> Temps cannot be colder than absolute 0. (-459.67F)
[17:58] <nabi> yes
[17:58] <yugii> Quelqu'un de calé parmis vous ?
[17:58] <nabi> i have problem
[17:58] <nanomad> Hi, I'm having an issue with Libre Office (ubuntu 11.04), the fonts are blurry
[17:58] <nabi> with bookmark
[17:58] <nanomad> while in ubuntu are ok
[17:59] <GTRsdk> I think Firefox may be causing my netbook to freeze. Should I try Chromium?
[17:59] <rypervenche> yugii: C'est du français ça ?
[17:59] <MagePsycho> hi guys!! can you help me to find the latest updated files ?
[17:59] <rypervenche> GTRsdk: Only one way to find out :)
[17:59] <yugii> Après quelques recherches, il s'avère que c'est un problème d'installation du programme "pstocanonij"
[17:59] <wols_> GTRsdk: it is very very unlikely a userspace program freezes linux
[18:00] <wols_> !fr | yugii
[18:00] <sabiancrash_cgx> Temps cannot be colder than absolute 0. (-459.67F)
[18:00] <GTRsdk> wols_, then what would be causing it to freeze?
[18:00] <nabi> please help
[18:00] <wols_> Gryllida: normally it's kernel related
[18:00] <yugii> Ah bon :| oups ! Merci :)
[18:00] <wols_> GTRsdk: ^^
[18:00] <nabi> my firefox parse error when i want to bookmark a page
[18:01] <GTRsdk> wols_, but then which kernel should I use? I know Natty has something like 2.6.38, and Oneiric has 2.6.39.
[18:01] <nabi> heloooooooo
[18:01] <GTRsdk> nabi, which firefox?
[18:01] <wols_> !errors | nabi
[18:02] <m3asmi>  sudo service isc-dhcp-server start * Starting ISC DHCP server dhcpd * check syslog for diagnostics. ...fail! ..
[18:02] <nabi> i cannot say
[18:02] <wols_> m3asmi: well, did you do what the helpful message said?
[18:02] <GTRsdk> nabi, Click on help -> ABout Firefox
[18:02] <nabi> because when i want to see about firefox
[18:02] <nabi> it parse an error

[18:03] <GTRsdk> nabi, so it gives you an error when you click on About Firefox?
[18:03] <nabi> yes and something like that when i click on bookmark
[18:04] <GTRsdk> nabi, which Ubuntu version?
[18:04] <jjflash> nobody knows answer to my udev question? :)
[18:04] <nabi> how can i say firefox version when it parse error
[18:05] <GTRsdk> nabi, check the Ubuntu version
[18:05] <nabi> GTRsdk, i cannot do that because error
[18:05] <ebisudave> Does nautilus or gnome do something different or in addition to "mount" when detecting a device?
[18:05] <nabi> oh
[18:05] <nabi> ok
[18:05] <nabi> <GTRsdk
[18:05] <avinashhm> rww, wols_ , i removed jaunty .. and i think update passed .. thanks ..
[18:05] <nabi> GTRsdk, wiat please
[18:06] <wols_> nabi: lsb_release -a   errors?
[18:06] <nabi> GTRsdk, Linux LinuxU 2.6.15-23-386 #1 PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:49:40 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[18:06] <GTRsdk> nabi, Ubuntu 10.04?
[18:06] <avinashhm> wols_, but sudo apt-get update  && sudo apt-get install libusb-0.1-4 libusb-dev is failing @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/616896/ .. is this not recoverable .. ?
[18:06] <jjflash> ebisudave: nautilus scans the device and shows it to you
[18:06] <drubies> what's the best way to get ubuntu to recognize 2 monitors?
[18:07] <JodaZ> are there any alternatives to pidgin that also work on windows ?
[18:07] <KM0201> nabi: lsb_release -a
 ,No LSB modules are available.
[18:07] <nabi> Distributor ID: Ubuntu
[18:07] <nabi> Description:    Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS
[18:07] <nabi> Release:        6.06
[18:07] <nabi> Codename:       dapper
[18:07] <ebisudave> jjflash: Would that be something I can do manually?
[18:07] <pcpower> !paste
[18:07] <KM0201> nabi: stop pasting stuff in the channel like that
[18:07] <GTRsdk> nabi, you might want to consider upgrading to 8.04
[18:07] <KM0201> nabi: is that a desktop, or a server?
[18:08] <GTRsdk> then upgrade to 10.04
[18:08] <Mrono> I'm looking to run a software firewall on a ubuntu server install, what's the best option?
[18:08] <nabi> it is desktop
[18:08] <wols_> avinashhm: apt-cache policy libusb-0.1 libusb-dev
[18:08] <KM0201> nabi: you need to ugprade, 6.06 isn't supported any longer
[18:08] <ebisudave> jjflash: No, wait, that's maybe not the right question. Does nautilus/gnomge register the device in some way to make it known to applications?
[18:08] <KM0201> in desktop
[18:08] <jjflash> ebisudave: of course you can stop that feature going to the nautilus menu edit ->preferences -> (removable drives?)
[18:08] <KM0201> !eolupgrade | nabi
[18:08] <JodaZ> Mrono, what do you need a firewall for ?
[18:08] <KM0201> hmm
[18:08] <Pici> !eol | nabi
[18:08] <Mrono> JodaZ: nothing specific, just don't think it's a good idea to have all the ports open all the time
[18:09] <nabi> ok
[18:09] <GTRsdk> nabi, so go to upgrade manager and upgrade to 8.04 then to 10.04
[18:09] <wols_> Mrono: then don't open them in the first place
[18:09] <avinashhm> wols_, not able to find ;-( .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/616899/
[18:09] <Mrono> wols_: what do you mean
[18:09] <nabi> GTRsdk where is upgrade manager
[18:09] <KM0201> nabi: it might be faster to just install 10.04 clean
[18:09] <nabi> ?
[18:09] <JodaZ> Mrono, only ports that applications open are open... close the applications that you don't want to have ports open, usually if you don't need the port open you don't also need the application running on a server
[18:09] <Mrono> wols_: this is running on a server connected directly to the internet, no firewall inbetween
[18:09] <jjflash> ebisudave: check private :)
[18:09] <wols_> Mrono: I mean if you don't want a port open, a firewall (in reality a packet filter) is not the proper way to fix it
[18:09] <GTRsdk> nabi, is it under System -> Administration -> Update Manager?
[18:10] <wols_> avinashhm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/616899/
[18:10] <wols_> avinashhm: apt-cache policy libusb-0.1-4 libusb-dev then
[18:10] <Mrono> wols_: I see, I was under the impression that there was more to it
[18:10] <nabi> GTRsdk| ok i find it
[18:10] <JodaZ> Mrono, netstat -naptuw to check whats running on what port, then uninstall via apt or configure accordingly (db only has to listen on <IP_ADDRESS> for example)
[18:10] <KM0201> nabi: given the amount of time it will take to upgrade 6.06 to 8.04, thne 8.04 to 10.04 (so that you have a supported release) it would be faster to just clean install 10.04
[18:10] <thauriswulfa> HELP: skype client is not working properly tried reinstalling its not showning any search results and also the new friend requests
[18:10] <nabi> i will try and call you back
[18:11] <avinashhm> wols_, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/616900/
[18:11] <nabi> KM0201
[18:11] <nabi> i have not clean version of that
[18:11] <KM0201> nabi: then download and burn it?
[18:11] <Mrono> JodaZ: okay thanks, I was just thinking that I needed to have it locked down and only manually open ports that I needed
[18:12] <KM0201> thauriswulfa: how did you install it?
[18:12] <nabi> KM0201| i think it must be large to download
[18:12] <thauriswulfa> KM0201: From software center
[18:12] <nabi> isn't it?
[18:12] <JodaZ> Mrono, thats windows kind of thinking where you need to sillily plug unnneded service ports because you can't turn the services themselfes off
[18:12] <KM0201> nabi: 690mb...
[18:12] <thauriswulfa> KM0201: it was working fine last time
[18:13] <KM0201> no bigger than 6.06 when you installed it
[18:13] <Mrono> JodaZ: yeah, not much linux server experience, still feeling it out, thanks
[18:13] <KM0201> thauriswulfa: hm.. what happens when you try to start skype in terminal?
[18:13] <researcher123> hello everybody
[18:13] <wols_> avinashhm: i386 or amd64?
[18:13] <KM0201> nabi: and if you have a slow connection, the last thing yo'll want to do, is upgrade 6.06, to 8.04, then 8.04 to 10.04
[18:13] <gtklocker> hi
[18:13] <avinashhm> wols_, i386 ..
[18:14] <gtklocker> I have 700MBs of RAM and unity eats them up.
[18:14] <gtklocker> What can I do to cut down the usage?
[18:14] <GTRsdk> gtklocker, use UNity 2D
[18:14] <KM0201> gtklocker: upgrade your ram... thats really not enough ram to run all those effects
[18:14] <wols_> avinashhm: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/i386/libusb-0.1-4/download download the .deb package from there and install it with sudo dpkg -i <package>
[18:14] <gtklocker> KM0201: I don't care about the effects.
[18:14] <nabi> yes i have slow connection |KM0201
[18:14] <gtklocker> I don't even care about Unity.
[18:14] <gtklocker> I have a retarded internet connection.
[18:14] <wols_> avinashhm: for some reason your verison has "ubuntu..." added to the name and that is what libusb-dev doesn't like since it doesn't have that
[18:14] <KM0201> then use gnome-classic "no effects" at the log n screen
[18:15] <wols_> avinashhm: and apt-get won't upgrade libusb since it's already the newest version
[18:15] <GTRsdk> gtklocker, you could use Ubuntu Classic
[18:15] <KM0201> gtklocker: w/ specs that low, you might also want to take a look at "Lubuntu.net".. it's great.
[18:15] <gtklocker> I guess it is.
[18:15] <thauriswulfa> KM0201:nothing happens
[18:15] <GTRsdk> gtklocker, you can run 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop'
[18:15] <thauriswulfa> KM0201:its working same
[18:16] <researcher123> Upon running this command "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" I got this output  http://paste.ubuntu.com/616904/  .But I cant use my tablet. Any HELP will be appreciated
[18:16] <KM0201> thauriswulfa: does skype actually start?.. or are you not even getting it to start
[18:16] <thauriswulfa> KM0201: YES it starts
[18:16] <w30> How do I move the workplace switcher icon in the dock on the bottom to the top?
[18:17] <avinashhm> wols_, hey man .. worked thanks a tono .. u very really really of gr8 help ..
[18:17] <KM0201> thauriswulfa: if it doesn't let you add new users, etc.. thats a program issue, and unrelated to ubuntu.. check w/ skype forums
[18:17] <thauriswulfa> KM0201:OK
[18:17] <nabi> How can I install vpn server in ubuntu?

[18:25] <wols_> GTRsdk: better try lucid since it's LTS
[18:25] <GTRsdk> wols_, I really doubt Lucid would have the kernel that supports my wi-fi card out of the box
[18:26] <tosh> hi all

[18:31] <jemallettin> hello!
[18:31] <wols_> basilfaulty: then definitely amd64
[18:32] <bir> hmm busy
[18:32] <basilfaulty> thanks... got a bit confused because it says AMD :) :S
[18:32] <wols_> basilfaulty: cause amd developed x86-64
[18:32] <basilfaulty> why isn't it x_64 or something?
[18:32] <basilfaulty> oh, fair play then
[18:32] <wols_> just like it's i386 for x86-32

[18:37] <Joshun> hi. i'm using kubuntu (nobody replies on kubuntu irc). after installing some gtk apps, gnome icon theme is installed. this makes firefox look ugly with gnome icons, but if I remove the gnome-icon-theme package, it removes other apps as well. Is there any way around this?
[18:37] <Palzieri> nn
[18:37] <hugo___> hello!  Just installed some upgrades, and after that my mouse scroll is waaay to fast. theres no options to set the speed in system->mouse preferences, any one have any suggestions?
[18:38] <Palzieri> Hello! I have a big problem. I can't upgrade my Jaunty 9.04 to a later version with the Upgrade Tool
[18:38] <ActionPa1snip> Joshun: install a firefox theme :)
[18:38] <wols_> !errors | Palzieri
[18:38] <ActionPa1snip> !eol | Palzieri
[18:38] <GTRsdk> Palzieri, you should upgrade to Lucid
[18:38] <basilfaulty> !alternate
[18:38] <wols_> GTRsdk: he is trying to if you haven't noticed
 i want to use the default kubuntu theme (oxygen) though
[18:40] <GTRsdk> Palzieri, I know of a dangerous way to upgrade and a safer way. You can use the alternative (which  is the safer way) disc
[18:40] <basilfaulty> !kubuntu
[18:40] <basilfaulty> ewwww
[18:40] <kadeng> Hi all ..
[18:40] <jasonrichardsmit> hello all.  Quick question.  I want to be able to restart the bluetooth service, ie "/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart" as a user, but its the only user level privilege I want to change.  Any idea if this can be done?
[18:41] <ActionPa1snip> jasonrichardsmit: prefix with sudo, it will happen
[18:41] <wols_> ActionPa1snip: read again what he asks
[18:41] <kadeng> Does someone know if there's any package mirror for Ubuntu 9.04 left ? Upgrading is no option.
[18:41] <wols_> and yes that can be done with sudo but not without additionaly configuration of sudoers
[18:41] <wols_> kadeng: archive.ubuntu.com
[18:42] <govatent> hey does anyone have any advice for using java with a microphone? I switched to sun java plugin and am using cisco's webex for school and can't make the microphone work. i don't want to use windows for it cause i don't dual boot or have a vbox setup.
[18:42] <kadeng> wols: Doesn' look like it: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ - that's actually what I tried.
[18:42] <jasonrichardsmit> here is the issue.  I have a bluetooth keyboard that loses connection, due to old style unsupported dongle.  When it loses connection I lose keyboard.  I wanted to make a quick bash script that I could double click on and restart the service
[18:42] <jasonrichardsmit> which means I can't type a password
[18:43] <jasonrichardsmit> because no keyboard
[18:43] <maco> jasonrichardsmit: perhaps set the path to the script as NOPASSWD in /etc/sudoers?
[18:43] <jasonrichardsmit> thanks
[18:43] <ChrisBuchholz> Is it possible to install a package that exists in the maverick branch of a ppa while still having the rest of the apps from the natty branch?
[18:43] <jasonrichardsmit> I will try that
[18:44] <KM0201> Palzieri: if you upgrade 9.04, you need to upgrade to 9.10, then 9.10 to 10.04, rather than going straight to 10.04
[18:44] <wols_> ChrisBuchholz: yes. usually you "backport" it. sometimes you can even install directly but very rarely
[18:44] <ChrisBuchholz> wols_: i will google it, thank you :)
[18:44] <ShaneM> Hey someone I know is trying to get in their wireless to work in 11.04. They're having the same problem as described in this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1244686 The closest package I can find to the suggested fix is linux-backports-modules-net-natty-generic which doesn't seem to fix the problem.
[18:45] <wols_> ChrisBuchholz: you add deb-src for maverick, download the sources for the package and then build the package with dpkg-buildpackage and install that. that's the short version when everything works
[18:45] <basilfaulty> is it possible to virtualize my gpus?
[18:45] <ChrisBuchholz> wols_: okay, sounds easy enough. Will try
[18:45] <gedO> Hello. I have small problem right here. When I mount ISO file I can't install anything from there, because it have read only format. How I should mount it to get access to change to executable bits ???
[18:46] <v-himanshu> ok
[18:46] <basilfaulty> gedo cp itto ur home dir
[18:46] <gedO> basilfaulty, Any way without copy???
[18:46] <tommylommykins> hi, I want to make the unity taskbar always stay open.
[18:46] <tommylommykins> How can I do this?
[18:46] <basilfaulty> the clue is the fact that cd's are read only :P
[18:46] <wols_> ShaneM: what wlan chip do you actually have. that thread is 2 years old and the chip discussed has been long supported in linux by now
[18:46] <basilfaulty> so changing an executable bit can't be done
[18:47] <basilfaulty> is it a shell script?
[18:47] <gedO> basilfaulty, Okey :)
[18:47] <basilfaulty> cos sh /path/ might work
[18:47] <gedO> basilfaulty, It is exe file
[18:47] <Inso> Hi, I'm having enormous problems. Shift+backspace logs me out, and I can't find it under preferences > keyboard shourtcuts. It's really annoying, I've logged myself out at least 5 times toda.
[18:47] <wols_> basilfaulty: you can probably fake it if you mount it differently. but what do you actually want to run directly from CD?
[18:48] <gedO> wols_, I want to rune exe file from iso
[18:48] <jjflash> somebody here knows udev scripting?
[18:48] <tase> hey guys where could I ask about getting EVE Online working with wine under ubuntu 1104 ?
[18:48] <basilfaulty> gedo: i've seen something with a union fs... don't quite get it tho
[18:48] <wols_> gedO: there are no "exe file" in linux
[18:48] <jjflash> just need to do some tricks when mounting usb devices
[18:48] <gedO> wols_, I know. I want to run with wine
[18:48] <wols_> jjflash: always ask your real questions. even if no one knows the answer
[18:48] <ShaneM> wols_: It's a HP Pavillion dv6 and it has the same wireless card as described. I know the fixed has been patched to the kernel because it doesn't seem to be working either way.
[18:48] <wols_> gedO: "wine <file>"
[18:48] <jjflash> wols_: Ok...
[18:49] <wols_> ShaneM: lspci -nn   and the kernel log
[18:51] <gavin_> Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be able to shine some light on a VPN issue that doesn't seem to be well documented on Google?
[18:51] <jjflash> Question: I'm using ubuntu in a kiosk way (Embedded PC with touch panel) and i would like to report a custom software whenever an usb drive gets mounted in order the software to dump some data. At this moment i'm using a very simple udev rule that runs a shell scripts wich sends an UDP message to the software, but somebody (udisks i guess...) is still trying to mount the drive...
[18:51] <jigrap> has anyone gotten an ati 4670 to work with ubuntu 11.04?
[18:52] <Inso> My 4870 is working
[18:52] <maco> jjflash: i would suspect gvfs is doing the mounting
[18:52] <jigrap> I tried both the fglrx drivers and the ones from ATI and I didnt have any luck, then I tried the open source ones xserver-xorg-video-ati and -radeon and it didnt seem to work at all i got a black screen
[18:52] <jjflash> so my question is: is there any documentation describing how the hell ubuntu automounts the drives?
[18:52] <ShaneM> wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/616930/
[18:52] <jjflash> maco: all i get from google is udev + udisks and documentation on gvfs is...well more or less inexistent :(
[18:53] <Mahmood> Hello World :)
[18:53] <jjflash> there are 2 solutions for me
[18:53] <maco> jjflash: gvfs is gnome's virtual filesystem stuff. i think the "what to do when media is inserted" settings are in nautilus
[18:53] <gavin_> i've got a vpn server running in a ubuntu virtual machine. i've connected from a windows virtual machine, and the win box can ping the ubuntu box
[18:53] <gavin_> however it ubuntu server can't ping the win machine. is it a routing issue?
[18:54] <gavin_> or something more sinister?
[18:54] <jjflash> 1) (The one i'm using) -> set a fixed point for the mount and run the script "SEND_UDP "hey! new drive at fixed point /media/fixedpoint"
[18:54] <wols_> gavin_: most likely a VM issue
[18:54] <tiox> I have an HP printer and I am trying to use hp-setup to get it working, but there was something else I had to do that gave a CUPS ID or something like that. Anything else I should type into the terminal to do something for hp-setup to work properly, like it's always done for me?
[18:54] <gavin_> ah
[18:54] <jjflash> maco: Nope, nautilus seems to be only a "listener" of the event, it acts after a sucessfully mounted drive has been reported
[18:55] <wols_> ShaneM: check your kernel log as I said above
[18:55] <tiox> I know I need to do something, but I forgot the other thing before it I need to type in terminal.
[18:55] <McFadden> I have a local installed java in my home directory. It's appended to $PATH in .bashrc. Yet, "which java" returns /usr/bin/java, which is the system-wide java. It this because of /etc/alternatives/java pointing to that java? If so, how can I override it for just this user?
[18:55] <Malgorath> if oyu have a quad core and 4G ram is 64-bit better or can I use 32-bit still?
[18:55] <wols_> Malgorath: use 64bit then
[18:55] <hypatia> Malgorath: you can use 32-bit, it'll install pae
[18:56] <jjflash> maco: i was trying to use udev to tell my software where the drive was mounted...but is not udev who is mounting the drive...so it doesn't know :(
[18:56] <wols_> gavin_: messaging me unasked is a very fast way to an ignore. have a nice day
[18:56] <Malgorath> I'm gonna try to install 11.04 and dual boot with windows for now
[18:56] <hypatia> Malgorath: server or desktop?  i still prefer 32 on desktops with less than about 6gb ram, but 64 on most servers
[18:56] <tiox> Nevermind, I think I got it.
[18:57] <Malgorath> hypatia, desktop. I just got a 6870 video card so i want to see if vid quality is better now for the games I play and may not have to go back to windows
[18:57] <wols_> gavin_: and yet you do it again. *sigh* /ignore after all
[18:57] <jjflash> maco: (and all) this is working for me -> BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sdb?", ACTION=="add", NAME="FIXEDPOINT", RUN+="/home/drive_in.sh"
[18:57] <gavin_> i must not be that bothered after all
[18:58] <sindikat> hi all! i have problems with antialiasing in Java programs on Ubuntu Natty. I use OpenJDK and fonts look nasty. export _JAVA_OPTIONS doesn't work, fonts.conf too
[18:59] <X2000> hello
[18:59] <coz_> hey
[18:59] <jjflash> i cannot belive that such an important thing is not really well documented :(
[19:00] <jjflash> sometimes it remembers me the bad old days from windows
[19:00] <jjflash> where things happened like magic
[19:01] <jjflash> or it can be my fault not being smart enough asking things to google :)
[19:02] <orgaZmo> i need help thanks
[19:02] <orgaZmo> i got error message when "sudo apt-get install openssh-server "
[19:02] <wols_> jjflash: from what I know (almost nothing), udev is very badly documented.
[19:03] <Pici> orgaZmo: What error are you getting?
[19:03] <jjflash> wols_: i agree
[19:03] <jjflash> wols_: but not only udev...just the entire automagic process of automounting :?
[19:04] <jjflash> wols_: it seems that nobody really knows how it works
[19:04] <wols_> nah. with automounting the problem is there are a gazillion ways to do it
[19:04] <ShaneM> wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/616936/ Kernel log
[19:04] <wols_> every DE for example uses its own software for it
[19:04] <jjflash> wols_: yep, but ubuntu should be using one in a gazillion :P
[19:04] <jjflash> wols_: and i only interested on the ubuntu one :)
[19:05] <jjflash> i'm thinking on starting a wiki on "configure ubuntu for unattended kiosk mode
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> I thought i saw a wiki page on taht once jjflash  - or at least i recall a gnome/kde koisk howto once.. ages ago.
[19:05] <ChrisBuchholz> I have a broadcom wireless card in my laptop, and pretty often, the internet speed goes really, really slow and i have to run `iwconfig eth1 power off` to make it normal speed again. Is there some way to set the "power" setting to "off" permanently?
[19:06] <wols_> jjflash: every DE available in ubuntu (gnome, kde, xfce, ...) uses a different one :P
[19:06] <wols_> ShaneM: strange how there is nowhere an ath0 but no error message either :(
[19:06] <jjflash> wols_: really? i'm using the mainstream one....just gnome
[19:06] <ShaneM> wols_: Yeah I'm so confused about it. :(
[19:07] <ShaneM> wols_: It says the hardware is disabled by a wireless switch but it works fine on the Windows partition.
[19:07] <wols_> ShaneM: maybe rfkill?
[19:08] <wols_> ShaneM: and where does it say that?
[19:09] <archtangent> what are some good x irc clients?
[19:10] <pankaj_sharma> irssi
[19:10] <jjflash> uhm..time to go with the dog for a walk...bbl :)
[19:10] <archtangent> i said x, lol
[19:10] <jjflash> bye!
[19:10] <wruthw4lk> hi!! how may i know whether my computer has 1024 cylinder limit problem or not?
[19:11] <toanfun> hg
[19:12] <pfn> huh, why did my system end up having /sbin/initctl(FAKE) and /sbin/initctl.REAL?
[19:12] <Malgorath> archtangent, xchat2 is what I use
[19:12] <wols_> wruthw4lk: limit problem exactly?
[19:12] <pfn> was it because it sorta hung toward the end of installation?
[19:12] <pfn> and not to mention, /etc/init/rpc_pipefs.conf is broken
[19:12] <pfn> it keeps telling me unknown parameter $JOB
[19:13] <wruthw4lk> the thing is i already got a windows installation..its about 300 gb...so if there was the 1024 cylinder limit problem, id have to check other ways right?

[19:18] <shentino> On the ubuntu 11.04 cd, how do I make the initial rootfs bigger?
[19:18] <shentino> I'm stuck using 11.04 livecd because my hard disk is busted
[19:20] <Roasted> Is there a way within Ubuntu 11.04 to capture MJPEG video streams?
[19:20] <_mike__> roated try vlc
[19:20] <_mike__> roasted try vlc
[19:21] <shentino> How do I make my livecd root file system bigger?
[19:21] <shentino> I have ram to burrrrn
[19:22] <omid> guys i want to share ubuntu and windows 7 can anyone help me?
[19:22] <omid> i mean something like samba server in suse
[19:23] <Omega> omid: install the samba package
[19:24] <pfn> shentino, it's a livecd, why?
[19:24] <omid> i'm guiding my friend on the phone.is it avalable in ubuntu software center or he must enter sudo apt-get install samba smbfs?
[19:24] <pfn> omid, of course it's available in synaptic
[19:24] <shentino> pfn:  My hard drive blew out and I need a bigger rootfs until it gets replaced
[19:25] <pfn> shentino, you're gonna do /everything/ on the liveusb?  hah
[19:25] <omid> isnt there a documentation on how to use samba?
[19:25] <shentino> on the livecd, yep
[19:25] <shentino> I already installed skype, chrome, and git :)
[19:25] <pfn> shentino, that sounds like a pain if it reboots...
[19:25] <shentino> I just don't reboot :)
[19:25] <shentino> but anyway, I need to make my rootfs bigger
[19:26] <pfn> shentino, I dunno about making the root fs bigger, just make a new ramdrive and copy stuff over and symlink it back into the root
[19:26] <pfn> shentino, might be a boot option in grub otherwise...
[19:26] <Abhishek_Tamraka> how to install python in ubuntu
[19:26] <shentino> that's the sort of thing I'm asking about
[19:26] <pfn> but that would entail a reboot...
[19:26] <shentino> I can reboot if it's controlled and I prepare for it
[19:26] <pfn> shentino, google linux ramdisk should probably answer that...
[19:26] <Pici> Abhishek_Tamraka: It should already be installed.
[19:27] <shentino> Since my hd blew out I *no longer* have volatile information worth preserving
[19:27] <Abhishek_Tamraka> u mean i can simply run python script in terminal
[19:27] <pfn> shentino, I learned my lesson... I still refuse to do backups, but all my data is always on at least a raid1
[19:27] <mellin> Where do I change my settings for when I close the lid on my lappie?
[19:27] <Pici> Abhishek_Tamraka: Exactly.
[19:27] <Abhishek_Tamraka> will try and let u know
[19:27] <Abhishek_Tamraka> thx
[19:27] <shentino> pfn:  I would have done a backup if I could afford it.
[19:27]  * pfn has had 3 hard drives fail in his raid1 in the past year
[19:27] <shentino> The information I wanted to keep was a whopping 70G
[19:27] <shentino> impossible to archive
[19:28] <pfn> one drive failed, replaced it, another one failed, replaced it, and then one of the replacements failed

Actually I've changed the BIOS Options in the BIO Panel, after saving and exiting, I pressed F8 and the same bios options were displayed, then I rebooted and checked the BIO Options and they were well-saved, anyway they're not displayed when I press F8, I just want USB Option, does somebody know what to do to display the options I marked T_T?
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> iFrankZ: try F12 or F11 at boot
[19:29] <tic^> anyone have any problems with the new "sectors" versious "cylinders" in fdisk?
[19:29] <iFrankZ> Will that display the options I marked, ActionParsnip?
[19:29] <shentino> just a sec
[19:30] <omid> guys during the installition of samba trough Terminal it says :  Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)  Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> iFrankZ: they usually allow you to manually select boot media
[19:31] <pfn> omid, probably not running as root
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> Omid: is software centre open, or updates running?
[19:31] <pfn> omid, or another process is using it
[19:31] <pfn> omid, e.g. update manager
[19:31] <olskolirc> if i want to upgrade my video drivers, how do i backup the original config file please?
[19:31] <omid> aha
[19:31] <omid> got it thank you guys
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Cool
[19:33] <vacho> stupid ubuntu, my sound stopped working..how do I reset/restart the sound service
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> olskolirc: usually they figure themselves out. If you made an xorg.conf file, it is located in /etc/X11
[19:34] <olskolirc> thanks ActionParsnip
[19:34] <GTRsdk> I'm going to stay with Oneiric then... until something bad happens, and I have to go to Natty.

[19:34] <toxi_> hi all
[19:34] <tic^> anyone have any problems with the new units = "sectors" versious "cylinders" in fdisk?
[19:35] <vacho> ActionParsnip, are you sure?
[19:35] <vacho> still no audio
[19:35] <toxi_> How I can delete *.exe files recursively in a folder and it's subfolders?
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Vacho: yes, it not only restarts pulse but gives it vanilla settings
[19:36] <Pretto> toxi_: use find with a -exec  option
[19:36] <vacho> ActionParsnip, still no audio, I lost audio when I put it to mute and back
[19:36] <toxi_> ok. Thanks, and which argument I pass to -exec
[19:37] <AndChat-> vacho: run: alsamixer   and ensure all levels are cranked and unmuted
[19:37] <vacho> AndChat-, how do I run it
[19:38] <AndChat-> Vacho: in terminal
[19:38] <euxneks> toxi_: "man find" should give you a full manual
[19:39] <vacho> didn't work.
[19:39] <euxneks> toxi_: look at the EXAMPLES section
[19:39] <vacho> ill restart
[19:39] <AndChat-> Vacho: cursors to navigate + change, m to mute and unmute, q or esc to exit
[19:39] <Jordan_U> tic^: What problem are you having? Why are you asking? What is your end goal?

[19:45] <dingurt> is anyone familiar with evolution and imap?
[19:45] <Jordan_U> tic^: That doesn't mean you shouldn't ask for support. It just means that if we're going to help you we need to know the details of the problem you're having.
[19:45] <AndChat-> Ken: what sort of device is it? Have you tried other USB ports?

[19:48] <ken> AndChat , its actually a USB Modem and its through VMWare into a Ubuntu VM
[19:48] <AndChat-> bibliotheque: is it already running?
[19:48] <AlonzoTG> Is it possible to override the disk space check on install and force-select packages until it fits on an eeepc?
[19:48] <bibliotheque> no, terminal output is stuck at IP: <IP_ADDRESS> and nothing else
[19:48] <AndroUser> hi
[19:48] <bibliotheque> AndChat-:   no, terminal output is stuck at IP: <IP_ADDRESS> and nothing else
[19:49] <AndChat-> Ken: is USB configured correctly in the VM settings?
[19:49] <Pici> bibliotheque: What did you expect it to do?
[19:49] <AndroUser> gg
[19:49] <ken> AndChat: Yes it is, The VM setting recognize the modem and it has been assigned to the VM itself.
[19:50] <AndChat-> bibliotheque: if you run: ps -ef | grep -i urban    is it running?
[19:50] <Pici> bibliotheque: Thats the dedicated server binary, you can't use that to play the game.
[19:50] <ziozizo> I whis to install skype on my system(Kernel2.6.32-27 generic).how can do it?
[19:51] <Pici> bibliotheque: If you are indeed trying to run the dedicated server, I suggest you take a look at this: http://www.urbanterror.info/docs/texts/123/
[19:51] <xangua> ziozizo: go to skype.com
[19:51] <AndChat-> ziozizo: skype site has a deb you can use
[19:51] <yaaar> hi guys. is there a non-interactive way to set a user's quota arbitrarily? that is, not copying the quota of another user?
[19:51] <Grilljanne> anyone wanna help me with a samba question?
[19:52] <AndChat-> Ken: if you run lsusb   you should see the 8 character hex id of the device. Use it to find guides
[19:53] <AndChat-> Grilljanne: just ask
[19:56] <Grilljanne> I am trying to mount a win7 share to a linux system and share it from there, but the share is corrupted, files are directories etc, i am missing a option when i mount?
[19:56] <AlonzoTG> Help! I'm trying to shoehorn ubuntu onto a 4g disk, and the installer won't let me argue with it!!!
[19:56] <uragan> yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
[19:56] <uragan> i am win
[19:56] <Guest46837> having problems with anacron job not running
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> AlonzoTG: use minimal and build up. Uses less space
[19:57] <uragan> thanks for all who helped me recantly
[19:57] <AlonzoTG> How?
[19:57] <Guest46837> anywone have a few mins to help
[19:57] <celthunder> AlonzoTG: debootstrap and do a min install...then add what you need
[19:57] <Jordan_U> !minimal | AlonzoTG
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> !minimal | AlonzoTG
[19:57] <AlonzoTG> Why is the normal installer so useless?
[19:58] <celthunder> AlonzoTG: because it's designed for people who want everything under the sun defaulted
[19:58]  * AlonzoTG hugs his gentoo machine.
[19:58] <Mrokii> hello. Can somebody recommend a good scan application that works with SANE-scanners?
[19:58] <AlonzoTG> Will I have trouble getting wireless to work with the minimal CD?
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> AlonzoTG: its not. There's just a tonne of default apps which you don't have the luxury of space to hold
[19:59] <AlonzoTG> THEN SHOW ME THE LIST AND TURN THEM OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: simplescan
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> !caps | AlonzoTG
[20:00] <Mrokii> That looks a bit too simple for me :)
[20:00] <mk85> srry to repost but was logged as guest for  some reason
[20:00] <mk85> i have a backup job in /etc/cron.daily/ that is not running for some reason
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> AlonzoTG: could use a wired connection while you get installed
[20:01] <Mrokii> ActionParsnip: I mean, it doesn't even let me change between b/w and colour scan!
[20:01] <ken> AndChat: yep I have the IDs ID 1d6b:0001,1d6b:0002 .
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> mk85: checked the cron log?
[20:02] <Jordan_U> AlonzoTG: You can also use the Alternate install CD, which still contains all the packages needed to install on the CD itself but allows you to choose what to install.
[20:02] <Jordan_U> AlonzoTG: And I think it is possible to use wireless from the minimal and alternate CDs but I'm not sure.
[20:02] <mk85> where are the cron log files
[20:03] <mk85> i was looking in /var/log/syslog
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: i see. Try searching software centre for scan   see what shows. Gimp can use scanners too
[20:03] <mk85> and it was very minimal info only that anacron did indeed run
[20:04] <gsr> Hi all.  trying to update ubuntu server from 10.10 to 11.04.  Followed the instructions (apt-get install update-manager-core returned "most update to date version already installed".  However, /etc/update-manager doesn't exist, and do-release-upgrade returns command not found.  anyone else encountered this?
[20:04] <Mrokii> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[20:04] <dingurt> Anyone familiar with evolution and IMAP root folders?
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> mk85: that's the syslog, not cron. See what other files are in the log folder
[20:05] <mrdeb> what is mode=1777 in fstab
[20:05] <ken> AndChat: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub and Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub are returned when I run lsusb
[20:06] <X2000> hey
[20:07] <eam0c> \quit
[20:07] <mk85> i don't see anything directly related to cron in there.  How to i send a non private msg to you (like you're sending to me) ActionParsnip
[20:07] <eam0c> \exit
[20:07] <mbeierl> Does anyone know how to set up NIS for authentication on Natty?  I've got NIS working for ypcat passwd, etc, but logins just say unkown user
[20:07] <gsr> ... never mind, I'm an idiot running debian :P
[20:07] <X2000> does anyone which is better amd64 or x86 for xubuntu on a intel core 2 quad
[20:07] <rww> X2000: amd64 should be fine
[20:08] <mbeierl> X2000: how much ram?
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> mk85: then use the web to find where it is.....obvious next step...right?
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> X2000: is it a 64bit chip?
[20:08] <X2000> im trying to use virtula box but on the xubuntu x86 os show max 4gb
[20:08] <mbeierl> X2000: < 4g I think 32 bit should be better as 64bit tends to use a larger memory footprint per process.  unless you need a lot of math, then 64 bit will work
[20:09] <rww> ActionParsnip: all Core 2 CPUs are
[20:09] <sams>  /list
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> Rww: no. The one in my Dell Latitude D420 isn't 64bit
[20:11]  * rww looks
[20:11] <mbeierl> rww: I think it's all "core 2 DUO" chips are... not all "core 2" themselves...
[20:11]  * mbeierl loves intel's naming conventions
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> Rww: the core2duo u2500 - how many bits?
[20:12] <X2000> how about core core 2 quad q8300
[20:13] <rww> ActionParsnip: well I'll be. Freaking Intel :)
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> Rww: exactly
[20:13] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip: rww : http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27240  Yep.  I thought all duos where 64!!!
[20:13] <rww> X2000: Q8300 is definitely 64-bit, though :)
[20:14] <rww> ( http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=39107 )
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> Many do. Its not true. Folks just assume
[20:14] <rww> ActionParsnip: I actually looked into it at some point. I guess i got wrong info.
[20:14] <X2000> so the xubuntu 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD would be best
[20:15] <uragan> anybody had trouble with dental autoclave ?
[20:15] <X2000> 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD is it ok to use on a intel
[20:15] <uragan> ))
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> Rww: its why i always ask which chip. 99% of time it will be 64bit. But 32bit ones are around :-). D420 is my main lappy
[20:16] <tuxiko23> #gay_granada
[20:16] <bibliotheque> Pici: SORRY SYSTEM HANG
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> X2000: how much ram?
[20:16] <X2000> which xubuntu is best to use on a 64bit
[20:16] <bibliotheque> i am trying to run urban terror
[20:17] <mbeierl> X2000: My experience is that it depends on what you want to do and how much ram the system has
[20:17] <rww> X2000: yes, amd64 is okay to use on x86-64 Intels
[20:17] <bibliotheque> Pici: /home/bibliotheque/Downloads/UrbanTerror/ioUrbanTerror.x86_64   then i get a black screen, nothing else, i have to reboot
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> X2000: xubuntu is xubuntu. There is only one
[20:17] <mk85> ActionParsnip: I thought that is where the log files for cron jobs were stored /var/log/syslog http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=437923
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> X2000: how much ram?
[20:18] <X2000> even for intel core 2 quad i will be able to use all 8gb of ram
[20:18] <bibliotheque> i d love to be able to play urban terror 4... but no way. dunna why, in terminal, when executing file, a fullscreen black screen.... nothing else
[20:18] <nixot> !find libavutil.so.49
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> Mk85: cool. After the due time, if it fails check the log
[20:19] <bibliotheque> how do you play urban terror 4? can t run it... ubuntu 64 bits
[20:19] <BlouBlou> bibliotheque: try running it with wine
[20:19] <BlouBlou> !wine | bibliotheque
[20:19] <bibliotheque> BlouBlou: it s the linux version. i never ever ran another one
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> X2000: 32bit+pae can address 12Gb but each process will have a maximum of 3gb
[20:20] <bibliotheque> i don t intend to run a windows version of a linux 64 bits binary...
[20:20] <BlouBlou> bibliotheque: and what happens when you try to open it? how are you doing it?
[20:20] <bibliotheque> i chmoded +x the file
[20:20] <OerHeks> BlouBlou, bibliotheque maybe you need IA32-libs
[20:20] <bibliotheque> i open a terminal,
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> X2000: i'd go 64bit
[20:20] <nixot> Question
[20:20] <bibliotheque> execute  /home/bibliotheque/Downloads/UrbanTerror/ioUrbanTerror.x86_64
[20:20] <nixot> I'm trying to run something but it won't run because it needs libavutil.so.49 but I only can instll libavutil 50 which doesn't work, what do?
[20:21] <RA_drc>
[20:21] <bibliotheque> BlouBlou: and nothing else. I could see yesterday a not fullscreen window with redllines, some errors, but now, just nothing else than a black screen.
[20:21] <X2000> 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD xubuntu would be best then
[20:21] <bibliotheque> i m running kde4
[20:21] <bibliotheque> kubuntu 64 bits actually
[20:21] <mk85> ActionParsnip: that's what i did, but output is very minimal.  The script used to run under cron, but I don't leave my computer on all the time so anacron seemed more appropriate
[20:21] <X2000> 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD xubuntu would be best then
[20:21] <BlouBlou> bibliotheque: "chmod +x <file>" and "./ioUrbanTerror.x86_64", do it after cd-ing to folder in which file is
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> bibliotheque: if you install it from getdeb is it ok?
[20:22] <bibliotheque> ActionParsnip: what is getdeb?
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> Nixot: use a sy
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> Nixot: use a symlink to fool the OS
[20:22] <nixot> ActionParsnip: how do I do that? (sorry for my ignorance)
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> bibliotheque: its a great repo with games and apps
[20:23] <bibliotheque> killall urabnterrror
[20:24] <X2000> 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD xubuntu would be best then for intel core 2 quad
[20:24] <X2000> ????
[20:25] <rww> X2000: yup
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> Nixot: find the file then make a symlink in the same folder with the new name. If you can give the full path to the file you have, i can give the command
[20:26] <nixot> But the problem is it's libavutil.so.50 that it has installed, not libavutil.so.49
[20:26] <nixot> oooohhh I get it
[20:26] <nixot> where would it be
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> Nixot: so you have 50 and need 49?
[20:27] <nixot> Yeah, so make a sym-link in the program's folder called libavutil.so.49
[20:27] <moldy> hi
[20:27] <nixot> But where would it be? hmm
[20:27] <moldy> is there a command line tool for networkmanager that actually allows adding configuring of connections?
[20:27] <nixot> looking in /usr/share...
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Nixot: do you see it in /usr/lib ?
[20:27] <moldy> or can i edit some config file to add a connection?
[20:27] <KM0201> X2000: how much ram does your system have? to me, if you don't have over 3.5gigs, the benefits of 64bit ar eminimal, and its best to go w/ 32bit
[20:29] <anonymouse> Upgrading to 11.04 upgraded xbindkeys to 1.8.3 which is broken.  How do I apt-get 1.8.4?
[20:29] <nixot> Hmm, how do you make a symlink from one place to another without clicking "Make link"? Because it is grey.
[20:30] <nixot> @ActionParsnip I found the lib file in /usr/lib!
[20:30] <nixot> Can you shift+drag, or alt+drag or something to make a symbolic link somewhere?
[20:31] <koperino> hi there i get no sound out of moovida
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> Nixot: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libavutil.50 /usr/lib/libavutil.49
[20:33] <alterego> How would I go about debugging a failed "mobile broadband" connection under 11.04?
[20:34] <nixot> @ActionParsnip it says the link is broken when I look at it in jnautilus.
[20:34] <Diverdude> I have a logitech dinovo mini keyboard. There are some buttons on the keyboard which have no effect when i press them such as the zoom buttons for example. How can i map the zoom button on the keyboard to the zoom function in ubuntu?
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> Nixot: the file now exists but is really a clone. It will provide the required functionality
[20:35] <anonymouse> @Diverdude If they explain how to get xbindkeys working here, that'd be a good method.
[20:35] <nixot> The program still doesn't work
[20:36] <Diverdude> anonymouse, who is "they" ?
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> Nixot: then delete the link. The syntax to the command is simple. Use TAB to complete folder and filenames
[20:36] <Broc93> hello everybody
[20:36] <Broc93> I'd need some help
[20:37] <anonymouse> @Diverdude I just mean the chatroom.
[20:37] <Broc93> I'm compiling luminance HDR, but when I type the command make install, I get this error
[20:37] <Broc93> http://paste.ubuntu.com/616994/
[20:37] <Broc93> can anybody help me please?
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> Nixot: it won't with a broken link
[20:37] <anonymouse> @Diverdude 'xbindkeys' is a daemon that's made to do what you're talking about.
[20:38] <anonymouse> @Diverdude But I'm here because it just broke with the update to 11.04...
[20:38] <ionutvmi> hell
[20:38] <nixot> The lib file is itself a link
[20:38] <saliak> I've got some code that accesses various usb devices.  I'd rather not run my user space programs as root.  is there a way to make the file descriptors for the usb devices read/write by all?  ideally with a udev rule?
[20:38] <ionutvmi> i need some help
[20:39] <iskin> How do I restore audio after it goes down?

[20:39] <J697> Ok (Ubuntu 11.04) my wifi seems to not work very good (it fact sometimes not at all :( ) and it works fine on my sisters computers (Windows 7) is there a way to check my wifi card and see if it is in working order?
[20:39] <moldy> i need to configure a static ip address for a connection using networkmanager *from the command line*. the best i came up with is to configure it in /etc/network/interfaces and set [ifupdown] manages=true in NetworkManager.conf. but where can i set the nameserver? NM kills /etc/resolv.conf each time it starts. argh!
[20:40] <ionutvmi> i have a resolution problem after i install nvidia drive
[20:40] <ionutvmi> can anybdy help

[20:43] <J697> Ok (Ubuntu 11.04) my wifi seems to not work very good (it fact sometimes not at all :( ) and it works fine on my sisters computers (Windows 7) is there a way to check my wifi card and see if it is in working or

[20:44] <phox_> Hi! I wanted to remove the Evolution icon, and somebody told me to delete the file called evolution in "/usr/share/indicators/messages/applications". But then, after I rebooted the pc, the unity gnome panel to the left won't work :( Could somebody help me restart it? Or maybe sending me the file that I deleted..
[20:46] <phox_> Another question: How do I enter the trash can from the terminal? I want to open nautilus and do it.
[20:47] <rww> !trash
[20:48] <mathgirl> Isn't it $HOME/.Trash ?
[20:48] <rww> mathgirl: Nope, it changed in (I think) 8.04
[20:48] <phox_> rww: But when I just type "nautilus" in the terminal it doesn't start. Only if i write "gksudo nautilus", where do I find it if im operating nautilus as root?
[20:49] <mathgirl> @rww Oops.
[20:49] <rww> phox_: I just said, ~/.local/share/Trash. Nautilus doesn't show hidden files by default, see the View menu for the option to show them
[20:49] <mathgirl> @phox_ It may be at /home/username/.local/share/Trash
[20:50] <multipass> is there any way to make the top gnome panel with the gnome menu and tray look like tint2? transparent etc
[20:50] <mathgirl> @phox_ If you're running as root, ~ might mean root's home directory.
[20:50] <mikebeecham> hey guys...on glxgears I'm getting a steady 60 fps. Can I increase this at all?
[20:50] <phox_> mathgirl: Oh, found it now. But the file called evolution i just deleted isnt there! Weird.
[20:51] <mathgirl> @phox_ I'm wrong anyway.  It looks like sudo ls ~ shows my $HOME, not root's.
[20:52] <mathgirl> @phox_ In case of emergency, you could use 'find'.
[20:52] <irong33k> how do you make apache2 work offline...without necessarily working when internet is on ?
[20:52] <phox_> mathgirl: ok. Could you help me find the file called evolution in "/usr/share/indicators/messages/applications". I just deleted it and it screwed up unity..
[20:52] <mathgirl> Okay.  If you're sure the file was called exactly 'evolution'
[20:53] <econdudeawesome> how do I make grub2 boot me into a command line startup only?
[20:53] <mathgirl> Then you can go to / and say 'sudo find . -name evolution' in a terminal
[20:53] <phox_> mathgirl: i followed the instructions by this guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9297804&postcount=7
[20:53] <guntbert> !nox | econdudeawesome
[20:53] <econdudeawesome> guntbert: you rock. thanks
[20:53] <phox_> Mathgirl: Maybe it wasn't exactly evolution, but something like it.
[20:54] <guntbert> econdudeawesome: you're welcome :-)
[20:54] <irong33k> how do you make apache2 work offline...without necessarily working when internet is on ?
[20:54] <mathgirl> Hold on, let me see what files I have there.
[20:55] <gahlberg> hi I'm a seasoned ubuntu lover with a new question. 've an old laptop booted from ubuntu 5.04 live cd. Now I want install ubuntu on hd. How?
[20:55] <mathgirl> @phox_
[20:55] <deskey> 10696 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2139.142 FPS
[20:55] <mathgirl> @phox_ Okay, I've got a file called 'evolution' there that contains just one line.
[20:55] <deskey> how bad is that?
[20:55] <irong33k> how do you make apache2 work offline...without necessarily working when internet is on ?
[20:55] <econdudeawesome> guntbert: do you recall wher ethe grub2 config file is stored? I'd rather edit that and update grub than restart right now :-D
[20:55] <mathgirl> @phox_ Maybe just create a new one
[20:55] <phox_> mathgirl: okey, ill try that. What does the line say?
[20:55] <mathgirl> @phox_ I'll tell you the contents and the permissions to set.
[20:55] <econdudeawesome> guntbert: nm, think I found it
[20:56] <irong33k> how do you make apache2 work offline...without necessarily working when internet is on ?
[20:56] <bastidrazor> econdudeawesome: /etc/default/grub
[20:56] <mathgirl> @phox_ Mine says:
[20:56] <multipass> is there any way to style the top gnome panel/gnome menu and tray look like tint2? transparent etc
[20:56] <phox_> mathgirl: ok
[20:57] <guntbert> irong33k: I don't understand your question - what do you want to do?
[20:57] <mathgirl> phox_ it's not showing up in my screen
[20:57] <qin> irong33k: <IP_ADDRESS> in browser
[20:57] <mathgirl> @phox_ /usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop
[20:57] <phox_> mathgirl: what is not? Ok, ill create that file.
[20:57] <freeburn> if i remove ubuntu-desktop package would it be a removal for gnome-softwares also?
[20:57] <mathgirl> @phox_ It looks like it's user:group are root:root and its chmod 644
[20:58] <mathgirl> @phox_ The usr/share... wasn't showing up in my chatscreen.
[20:58] <econdudeawesome> If I already have a line for "text" in my grub default file, and yet it still boots to gdm, what do I need to fix?
[20:58] <coz_> freeburn,  what is it you want from a removal of that?
[20:59] <EmuAlert> How do I get my graphics back to the default when you install ubuntu?
[20:59] <jonesst1> in ubuntu how do you pick which kernel to boot off?
[20:59] <freeburn> apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[20:59] <phox_> mathgirl: how do set it to chmod 644? I'v looked in properties, but can't see it.
[20:59] <guntbert> econdudeawesome: did you run update-grub?
[20:59] <freeburn> i've moved to kde
[20:59] <econdudeawesome> jonesst1: with grub, hold shift at boot
[20:59] <freeburn> so i wanna get rid of unity actually
[20:59] <econdudeawesome> guntbert: I'm fairly sure I did, but it's been awhile
[20:59] <mathgirl> @phox_ Whoa, are you doing this in a terminal?
[20:59] <jonesst1> how do i do it permanently?
[20:59] <econdudeawesome> be back soon
[20:59] <jonesst1> there is no menu.ist
[21:00] <mathgirl> @phox_ If not, open a terminal and I'll tell you what to type.
[21:00] <phox_> mathgirl: nope, i wrote "gksudo nautilus" and clicked my way here. Ok do that =)
[21:00] <mathgirl> @phox_ Okay, once you're in a terminal, type:
[21:00] <econdudeawesome> jonesst1: should be an option in /etc/default/grub -- i'm working on something similar to what you're doing sounds like
[21:00] <qin> !grub2 | jonesst1
[21:00] <basilfaulty> goodbye fair ubuntu group.... I go now to usb install.. err forsooth n such
[21:00] <mathgirl> @phox_ cd /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications
[21:01] <phox_> mathgirl: ok, that line i understand.
[21:01] <mathgirl> @phox_ Then type cat evolution to make sure it contains the right contents.
[21:01] <gahlberg> anyone help me install ubuntu from a live cd? Have booted from live cd, now i want to install to hd.
[21:01] <mathgirl> @phox_ Then type 'cat evolution' to make sure it contains the right contents.
[21:02] <phox_> mathgirl: no such file. Remeber, it was called evolution.desktop?
[21:02] <mathgirl> @phox_ Once you've got the right file there, just type
[21:02] <MonkeyDust> gahlberg: choose install and follow the intructions
[21:02] <mathgirl> @phox_ Oh I see.
[21:02] <phox_> mathgirl: i changed to evolution.desktop! :)
[21:02] <mathgirl> @phox_ 'cat evolution.desktop'
[21:03] <gahlberg> Monkeydust: you mean when the live cd is booting?
[21:03] <gahlberg> MonkeyDust: you mean when the live cd is booting?
[21:03] <mathgirl> @phox_ You don't want a file called evolution.desktop
[21:04] <MonkeyDust> gahlberg: wait until you have the ubuntu desktop, get used to the desktop, then click install
[21:04] <phox_> mathgirl: just "evolution"?
[21:04] <mathgirl> @phox_ Sorry, I've got you in the wrong directory.
[21:04] <econdudeawesome> guntbert: no love from the grub or grub2. Still ignoring the "text" option
[21:05] <gahlberg> MathDust: no such thing on desktop.  Btw, i'm on ubuntu 5.04 :-)
[21:05] <mathgirl> @phox_ First say
[21:05] <MonkeyDust> gahlberg: 5.04 is no longer supported, use a more recent version
[21:05] <mathgirl> @phox_ cd /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications
[21:05] <phox_> mathgiril: hehe, no problem.
[21:05] <Jordan_U> gahlberg: Ubuntu 5.04 has not been supported for the better part of half a decade.
[21:05] <guntbert> econdudeawesome: did you try it directly in the grub menu?
[21:06] <Jordan_U> gahlberg: Try 10.04 or 11.04.
[21:06] <gahlberg> I know, old cd only thing laying around
[21:06] <phox_> mathgirl: so should the file be called evolution.desktop or just evolution?
[21:06] <mathgirl> @phox_ If you say 'ls' you should see a list of four files.
[21:06] <mathgirl> @phox_ What do you see?
[21:06] <MonkeyDust> gahlberg: download a more recent ubuntu version
[21:06] <Jordan_U> gahlberg: Can you burn another CD, or do you have a flash drive?
[21:06] <jonesst1> qin: thanks a good doc
[21:07] <ilovebears> ijordan_u: you can also install ubuntu out of windows i think
[21:07] <gahlberg> Jordan_U anh MonkeyDust: let me check that. thx for support
[21:07] <phox_> mathgirl: yeah, i have the files to view in nautilus too. The evolution.desktop that I created, gwibber and ubuntuone-control-panel.
[21:07] <jonesst1> anybody got vmware's esxi vmtools to install on ubuntu?
[21:07] <mathgirl> @phox_ Okay.  Change the file called 'evolution.desktop' to just 'evolution' like you said.
[21:07] <gahlberg> Jordan_U anh MonkeyDust: I guess it  was wishful thinking that 5.04 could do it
[21:08] <phox_> mathgirl: done. now to the chmod!
[21:08] <omid> how to find hardware info in ubuntu ? for example how to find graphic card model?
[21:08] <MonkeyDust> omid: lspci
[21:08] <gahlberg> amazing to be 5.04 ubuntu  again, btw
[21:09] <mathgirl> @phox_ Can you say 'cat evolution' and tell me what it says?
[21:09] <omid> MonkeyDust i must enter it in terminal ? or its an application?
[21:09] <ilovebears> Anyone knows how to create a custom menu entry in Nautilus, that has a chackbox?
[21:09] <arand> omid: terminal
[21:09] <qin> omid: lspci, lshw, hwinfo
[21:09] <MonkeyDust> omid: in a temrinal
[21:09] <phox_> mathgirl: didn't say anything.. Weird! No output what so ever.
[21:09] <ilovebears> checkbox'
[21:10] <mathgirl> @phox_ Okay, you need to edit the file.
[21:10] <phox_> mathgirl: I created a "emty file" and just named it evolution.
[21:10] <phox_> matgirl: oh ok.
[21:10] <hetz> Hi people. I'm trying to upgrade ubuntu karmic with PHP-5.3 packages from dotdeb, but even that I added 2 lines and did "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" - it ignores the php 5.3
[21:10] <omid> is it possible to make a ubuntu usb with my favorite software and packages?
[21:10] <mathgirl> @phox_ I need you to open it with whatever the 'notepad' program is in gnome.
[21:10] <MonkeyDust> omid: advanced users can do it yes
[21:11] <phox_> yep
[21:11] <mathgirl> @phox_ It's probably called gwrite or something.  What did you open it with?
[21:11] <omid> i'm a newbie.
[21:11] <arand> !remaster > omid
[21:11] <Joshua__> I am trying to configure postfix to send outgoing mail from ubuntu to my exchange server on the LAN, can anyone help with that?
[21:11] <ilovebears> depends on your problem
[21:12] <ilovebears> joshua__:i have some experience with postfix
[21:12] <jonesst1> joshua a smarthost setting
[21:12] <phox_> mathgirl: yeah something like it. Just said text editor, think it gedit. Does it matter? :P
[21:13] <omid> thank you guys . i'll try
[21:13] <mathgirl> @phox_ gedit is good.  I'm just trying to make sure you're not making an .rtf or .ods or something.
[21:13] <arand> hetz: it may very well be that the packages are only for supported versions of ubuntu (kermic is EOL)
[21:13] <mathgirl> @phox_ Okay, put this line in the file:
[21:13] <guntbert> Joshua__: that question is better served in #ubuntu-server
[21:13] <mathgirl> @phox_ /usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop
[21:14] <jagas> can anyone tell me which ati drivers are better?
[21:14] <hetz> arand: dozen of pages on the web disagree with you about this (not about EOL)
[21:14] <phox_> mathgirl: done. Ill reboot and see what happens.
[21:14] <mathgirl> @phox_ Save the file.  Then in the terminal 'cat evolution' and tell me the output.
[21:14] <mathgirl> @phox_ Wait!  Did you chmod 644 the file?
[21:14] <phox_> mathgirl: nope! haha, good thing i didnt exit xchat.
[21:14] <mathgirl> @phox_ Did you make it owned by root?
[21:14] <ilovebears> jagas: the proprietary drivers have the best preformance, if thats what your asking
[21:14] <mathgirl> @phox_ You need to
[21:15] <mathgirl> @phox_ sudo chown root:root evolution
[21:15] <mathgirl> @phox_ sudo chmod 644 evolution
[21:15] <phox_> mathgirl: cat evolution gives me "/usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop".
[21:15] <mathgirl> @phox_ Then if you want to be safe, you can go back over everything with me.
[21:15] <mathgirl> @phox_ Looks good.
[21:15] <jagas> ilovebears: im having some problems with compiz using those drivers, it makes wobbly windows lag
[21:15] <mathgirl> @phox_ What does 'pwd' say?
[21:15] <fwaokda> I'm trying to upload my code to googlecode through ubuntu and subversion... anyone think they can help me I cant seem to figure it out
[21:16] <phox_> mathgirl: /usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop. I'm in the right dir :)
[21:16] <milica> @jagas it depends of a card i gues... try <IP_ADDRESS>.034152 it works great!
[21:16] <mathgirl> @phox_ No you're not.  You should be in /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications right?
[21:16] <ilovebears> jagas: are you sure the drivers are enabled?
[21:16] <econdudeawesome> guntbert: I've tried both ways now (sudo update-grub and sudo update-grub2), anyt houghts why it wouldnt do this permanently?
[21:17] <eiriksvin> hello, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 in classic and my wifi connection is showing Link Quality=97/100  Signal level=43/100  Noise level=0/100          in the top bar its showing Link Quality and not showing Signal Level, how do I get it to show Signal Level?
[21:17] <jagas> milica: can u give me a link to download that?
[21:17] <phox_> mathgirl: yes, i should. pwg gives "/usr/share/indicators/messages/applications", what should it give? Isnt it right?
[21:17] <jagas> ilovebears: yes it is enabled
[21:17] <hetz> in terms of compatibility - which is more close to karmic: Lenny or Squeeze?
[21:18] <guntbert> econdudeawesome: the latter is wrong - that makes the step 1->2, if it works from the grub menu then you might have made an error regarding the config file
[21:18] <milica> @jagas: wait a moment , if i can find..
[21:18] <MonkeyDust> hetz: lenny and squeeze are debian, not ubuntu
[21:18] <mathgirl> @phox_ Okay.  I thought you meant "I'm in the right dir: /usr/share/applications..."
[21:18] <mathgirl> @phox_ I guess everything's good.
[21:18] <econdudeawesome> guntbert: so at the grub menu, what exactly am I looking for? vmlinuz or initrd?
[21:18] <phox_> yep. reboot on that, brb
[21:18] <eiriksvin> is there a wifi meter I can download that will show Signal Quality and not Link Quality?
[21:18] <mathgirl> @phox_ You want a file called /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications
[21:18] <mathgirl> @phox_ containing just one line:
[21:18] <eiriksvin> in a %
[21:19] <hetz> yeah, I know, but I'm trying to take the dotdeb packages, and they're available for Lenny and Squeeze
[21:19] <MonkeyDust> eiriksvin: look for 'radar'
[21:19] <EmuAlert> What is backend?  And the line is?
[21:19] <mathgirl> @phox_ You want a file called /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/evolution
[21:20] <mathgirl> @phox_ containing just one line:
[21:20] <mathgirl> @phox_ /usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop
[21:20] <guntbert> econdudeawesome: I'm gonna show you a picture...
[21:20] <eiriksvin> getting Wifi Radar now
[21:20] <econdudeawesome> guntbert: thanks much
[21:20] <Darkenvy> where can I go for VMware trouble?
[21:20] <jagas> milica: so that is the open source driver..
[21:20] <mathgirl> @phox_ And when you say 'ls -l' you should get four files that are all
[21:20] <MonkeyDust> eiriksvin: that's the one
[21:20] <mathgirl> @phox_ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root
[21:20] <ilovebears> jagas: did you install the driver using this gui thing(I think its named jockey)
[21:21] <milica> @jagas: i really want to help you ..
[21:21] <Darkenvy> vmware works fine up to the point of ANY video playing of any kind or program. Crashes the VMware environment's display driver
[21:21] <Darkenvy> namely windows
[21:21] <MonkeyDust> Darkenvy: try virtual box
[21:21] <Darkenvy> nope
[21:21] <Darkenvy> VMware all the way
[21:21] <Darkenvy> I tried virtual box I hated it so much
[21:21] <Sl4sh3r> Darkenvy, I can run XBMC perfectly on virtualbox
[21:21] <jagas> ilovebears: i used additional drivers
[21:22] <phox_> mathgirl: gah.. i cant open the file. This makes me tired. Could i not name it.desktop at first and edit the content then rename it?
[21:22] <Darkenvy> Im not running XMBC
[21:22] <Darkenvy> Im running microsoft silverlight with the occasional VLC player (but rarely)
[21:22] <jagas> milica: yes i dont doubt that i just wanted to fix this lag
[21:22] <Darkenvy> its for netflix online
[21:22] <mathgirl> @phox_ What do you mean 'open the file'?  Like double-click it?
[21:22] <ilovebears> jagas: I would try to reinstall the driver using jockey
[21:22] <mathgirl> @phox_ Yes, if that's the way you can edit it, go for it.
[21:23] <jagas> milica: at the moment i have the proprietary installed using additional drivers
[21:23] <milica> @jagas:  ITry the official Catalyst drivers, they really pleased me , and supprised!
[21:23] <mathgirl> @phox_ But when you're done, make sure you change the ownership, groupship and permissions.
[21:23] <vanguard> I logged into Unity and now my Gnome 2.x looks like Win98
[21:23] <phox_> mathgirl: ok, give me a sec
[21:23] <mathgirl> @phox_ and name.
[21:23] <vanguard> what can I do?
[21:23] <adac> two questions about unity: is it possible to run gnome apps in the upper bar? and second: how do you switch between aplications? If i hava  pidgin chat window open i do not see it anyewhere and i need to use alt + tab which is annoying
[21:23] <MonkeyDust> vanguard: unity is the bug, gnome is the solution
[21:23] <jagas> ilovebears: dont really know how to do that
[21:23] <Sl4sh3r> Darkenvy, do you really need to watch netflix on this specific software for windows? Im pretty sure xbmc for linux can handle netflix too
[21:23] <ilovebears> milica + jagas: i think jockey installs the catalyst drivers
[21:24] <vanguard> MonkeyDust: well, but Unity set something so that my regular gnome is messed up
[21:24] <Darkenvy> sl4sh3r you dont know your stuff do you?
[21:24] <jagas> ilovebears + milica: i think i have that installed in the synaptic package
[21:24] <milica> @jagas: i think you would be  better with direct download straight from a site, but first have to remove everything thar jockey installed
[21:24] <Darkenvy> I have tried everyhting from boxee to XMBC and nothing plays it because netflix runs silverlight which is proprietary
[21:24] <ilovebears> jagas: oh my bad.... what I mean are additional drivers....
[21:24] <MonkeyDust> vanguard: copy paste this in a terminal: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz && compiz --replace
[21:25] <mk85> i'm still having trouble with anacron.  I have a job that runs if I put in my crontab and say have it run everyday, but won't run if I copy it to the etc/cron.daily dir
[21:25] <econdudeawesome> Darkenvy: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/43724/how-to-view-netflix-watch-instantly-in-xbmc/
[21:25] <Darkenvy> it is closed source and illegal to emulate
[21:25] <phox_> mathgirl: apparently i already have a filed evolution.desktop in /usr/share/applications called evolution.desktop.
[21:25] <Darkenvy> thats not for netflix
[21:25] <arand> hetz: Nope, getdeb don't carry php 5.3 for karmic, I assume the guides you read must be EOL likewise.
[21:25] <phox_> mathgirl: im gonna reboot and see if anything has changed, maybe its a random bug
[21:26] <mathgirl> phox_ okay...
[21:26] <Darkenvy> and doesnt answer my original question,. I still use virtual machines and any slight video rendering crashes the display within the environment
[21:26] <econdudeawesome> Darkenvy: I've watched it with firefox+wine
[21:26] <mathgirl> phox_ It might be better to make sure we got it all right.
[21:26] <jagas> milica + ilovebers: did u guys have any problems with overheating?
[21:26] <Darkenvy> am I to live my life forever without it ebcause I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10? no
[21:26] <mathgirl> phox_ The file called evolution.desktop should be one with lots of lines.
[21:26] <Sl4sh3r> Darkenvy, well, that's new for me. Didn't know that netflix support was broken on boxee and xbmc.
[21:27] <guntbert> econdudeawesome: http://imagebin.org/156512
[21:27] <milica> @jagas: No
[21:27] <Darkenvy> we are going backwards
[21:27] <ilovebears> jagas: just with my notebook.... bot thats not driver related
[21:27] <MonkeyDust> Darkenvy: i hope you don't have to live, eternity is a long time, especially in the end
[21:27] <Darkenvy> the netflix was an example and instead of fixing th eproblem you guys offered many alternatives
[21:27] <phox_> mathgirl: unity works now! Don't know what happened really but thanks :)
[21:27] <Darkenvy> I need the problem solved
[21:27] <MonkeyDust> Darkenvy: i hope you don't have to live forever, eternity is a long time, especially in the end
[21:27] <mathgirl> phox_ Okay.  Hopefully it worked!  Good luck!
[21:27] <ilovebears> jagas: try to clean up your computer :)
[21:28] <Darkenvy> I heard you the first time
[21:28] <Sl4sh3r> Darkenvy, unfortunately I don't have experience with vmware. Do you have video driver setup with hardware acceleration on linux?
[21:28] <mathgirl> Can somebody help me install the latest version of a program?
[21:28] <jagas> ilovebears: i used to get over 55-60C but somebody told me to update the bios now everthing works great or at least better, and i made sure to clean the dust
[21:28] <KM0201> mathgirl: what program?
[21:28] <mathgirl> xbindkeys
[21:29] <Darkenvy> yes
[21:29] <jonesst1> mathgirl as in a later version than is a .deb?
[21:29] <econdudeawesome> guntbert: so I want to edit the "setparams" and add text there?
[21:29] <Darkenvy> how can I check though? I think I have had some problems
[21:29] <econdudeawesome> guntbert: after I do this, is it permanent?
[21:29] <Darkenvy> but Im running xinerama with 4 monitors
[21:29] <milica> @jagas: Bye, i hope you will be satisfied!
[21:29] <Sl4sh3r> Darkenvy, lol that`s the problem!
[21:29] <mathgirl> I suspect.  apt-get only gets me 1.8.3 and I want 1.8.4 (or 1.8.5  if life's great...)
[21:29] <jagas> milica + ilovebears: so ill deactivate the old drivers and run the new ones you gave me, thanks a lot for your help guys
[21:30] <ilovebears> jagas: i think 55-60C is okay....
[21:30] <Darkenvy> slasher that is not the problem
[21:30] <Sl4sh3r> Darkenvy, at least, I got similiar problems while runing triple screen with xinerama
[21:30] <KM0201> mathgirl: why do you neeed the more current version, or do you just want it?
[21:30] <Darkenvy> on 10.04 same settup. worked perfect
[21:30] <Sl4sh3r> Darkenvy, xinerama disables hardware acceleration
[21:30] <jonesst1> mathgirl maybe a devel tree, but that can get dodgy
[21:30] <Darkenvy> nope
[21:30] <Darkenvy> I mean yea
[21:30] <Darkenvy> but not an option
[21:30] <guntbert> econdudeawesome: try it in the menu first, to get a feeling (you can remove the "quiet" there too
[21:30] <milica> @jagas: Any time :)
[21:30] <jagas> ilovebears: well the thing is the win7 run with 45-48
[21:30] <mathgirl> Current apt version crashes for a reason that was fixed in latest actual version.
[21:30] <Darkenvy> I got VMware to be perfect on 10.04. im on 10.10 now same setup and everything
[21:30] <Darkenvy> clean install BTW not upgrade
[21:31] <Sl4sh3r> Darkenvy, you mean that back in 10.04 everything was working fine even with xinerama ON?
[21:31] <mathgirl> jonesst1 How do I use a development tree?
[21:31] <ilovebears> jagas: if you deactivate all that fancy 3d-desktop-animation stuff it should be the same
[21:31] <econdudeawesome> guntbert: text is there, but it still boots to gdm
[21:32] <mathgirl> KM0201, I need it because the current apt version doesn't work for a reason that is fixed in the latest actual version.
[21:32] <guntbert> econdudeawesome: let me try
[21:32] <KM0201> hmm
[21:33] <Darkenvy> sl4sh3r yes that is correct
[21:33] <Sl4sh3r> Darkenvy, are you installing the same vmware version on the 10.10?
[21:33] <Darkenvy> yes sir I am
[21:33] <jonesst1> mathgirl in debian i'd go look at the tree and if I had waht I wanted add it to /etc/apt/sources.list, I assume ubuntu is similar
[21:33] <Darkenvy> wait actually no I am not sure I was handed the disk
[21:33] <Darkenvy> but it would not be older
[21:33] <mathgirl> jonesst1, where is the tree I should look at?
[21:33] <Darkenvy> we got VMware for the first time in '10 so it cant be older
[21:34] <Darkenvy> think its the version?
[21:34] <guntbert> econdudeawesome: here it works: in the grub menu you move the cursor to the end of the line where my "arrow" points, remove "quiet" and write "text" (without quotes), then press ctrl+x to boot
[21:35] <Sl4sh3r> Darkenvy, well, im not sure honestly. But since you have such a uncommon display setting, I doubt that developers do really care if the software is gonna work on it so I think trying to install the same version is a valid try.
[21:36] <Darkenvy> okay
[21:36] <Nitration> for some reason my comp is not recognizing new ipods... any help would be greatly appreciated!
[21:36] <Darkenvy> also for future reference, there should be a codeword for 'I dont want an alternative I need the problem solved' lol
[21:37] <econdudeawesome> guntbert: so "quiet" overpowers "text" then
[21:37] <Sl4sh3r> Darkenvy, lol I tried to give an alterative because I didn't understand that netflix was only an example
[21:37] <MonkeyDust> Darkenvy: some problems do not have a solution (yet)
[21:38] <MrGizmo> i am havin gprinter problems anybody available to help?
[21:38] <stefano> !list
[21:38] <guntbert> econdudeawesome: not at all, it was just to show you what is possible
