[17:01] <glebihan> aditi, why would you want to do that on a server ?
[17:01] <iam> genii-around, just a sec
[17:02] <Bogus8> sipior: it's rebuilding.  My wife will be very pleased.  I just had her move a bunch of stuff to the raid so she could free up some space on an external and so it would be "safer" due to the raid5. LOL  She wasn't pleased when less than a week later it went down. :)
[17:03] <MonkeyDust> aditi: s2disk, but it makes your system unstable (I tried it), s2disk means suspend to disk
[17:03] <aditi> glebihan: I have power failure issues + I need to buy a less-noisy SMPS until then ...
[17:03] <iam> genii-around, http://paste.ubuntu.com/688467/
[17:03] <glebihan> semitones, what do you mean exactly ? you want to remove a package and everything it depends on ?
[17:04] <semitones> glebihan: yes, except if some of the things it depends on are also depended on by something else. What I want to do, for instance, might be remove kubuntu-desktop, except the parts that regular ubuntu depends on
[17:04] <aditi> I did reach https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerManagement & pm-utils is the best way yet ?
[17:05] <MonkeyDust> aditi: did you try what i adviced?
[17:05] <apus> someone here who could take a look at iptables output/UFW, someone i'm trying to help has connection issues with all mail programs she tried so far ... seems to work only sometimes and not often http://pastebin.com/PNQBmbZS
[17:05] <glebihan> semitones, then "sudo apt-get --auto-remove remove packagename"
[17:06] <semitones> awesome
[17:06] <aditi> MonkeyDust: ah I see that - wil try
[17:06] <semitones> thanks
[17:06] <aditi> BRB folks
[17:06] <sipior> Bogus8: well, glad you can reassure her now :-)
[17:07] <sipior> Bogus8: one thing, though: be sure to remember that a raid is not a substitute for a good backup.
[17:08] <sipior> or two.
[17:08] <iam> genii-around, any further instructions?
[17:08] <arvut> screw this, imma compile gentoo instead
[17:09] <rullie> arvut++
[17:10] <Bogus8> sipior: absolutely!  This particular raid has come VERY close to burning me before.  I failed to setup email notification and had two drives go down.  I was luckily able to pull the board off one and put it on the other and got EXTREMELY lucky that the one I salvaged was the last to fail!
[17:10] <Bogus8> sipior: that being said... I'm still TERRIBLE at backup up data. :)
[17:12] <ricdros> hello I'm having trouble setting up a test server
[17:13] <mexia> Anyone here experiences some delay when pausing and playing youtube videos on the sound?
[17:14] <recon69_lap> got a network bug in ubuntu 10.04, lose network connection when a gui event happens in the background while playing a multiplayer fps, requires a reboot, wondering is there a page that i can down load to gather info for the bug report.
[17:15] <recon69_lap> ricdros, that quite an open statment, did you check to see if it's plugged in :)
[17:15] <ricdros> I want the root of test server to authenticate through public/private key pair, I already set it up on ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and did a "service ssh reload"
[17:18] <recon69_lap> wonders what 1600 people are doing in here
[17:18] <mexia> lol
[17:18] <recon69_lap> got a network bug in ubuntu 10.04, lose network connection when a gui event happens in the background while playing a multiplayer fps, requires a reboot, wondering is there a page that i can down load to gather info for the bug report.
[17:18] <frostschutz> ricdros: you don't have to restart the ssh service, adding keys works without (normal users wouldnt be able to restart the service in the first place, yet theyre allowed to add keys for themselves)
[17:19] <dori922> could someone link me to an OpenSSH ChRootDirectory guide that works please
[17:20] <mexia> so anyone here as that bug and knows how to fix it, the bug is some delay on flash videos like youtube when we play or pause them
[17:20] <dori922> im after trying like 3 different ones and they arnt working :(
[17:21] <apus> how can one turn off the ufw firewall in ubuntu?
[17:22] <GOMI> how do i "COMPILE" stuff , i have something for a usb webcam but i dont know how to compile
[17:22] <apus> also removing it from bootup would be nice
[17:22] <glebihan> !compile | GOMI
[17:22] <glebihan> apus, you could just uninstall it if you don't need it
[17:22] <recon69_lap> mexia: you got a link to that utube video
[17:22] <dori922> please <3 just so i knew im not picking guides that dont actually work :(
[17:23] <GOMI> ubottu, thnx i will read it
[17:23] <apus> glebihan: is not for me ... someone has a wrong configuration, but didn't set up the system herself ... i use gentoo ... no idea how to remove it from autostart
[17:24] <recon69_lap> apus , have you tried 'sudo ufw disable'
[17:24] <tvaldes> I need help with fstab (I believe). There are 3 drives that I swap in and out of a swap drive bay. I would set it up to auto mount sda1 or sdb1... but it's not always the same for some reason (I believe due to a new raid controller). So I have 3 seperate lines mounting the UUID's to the same point. The problem is if the first one isn't present, it gives an error on boot nad never mounts. If I sudo mount -a, it works but shows an erro
[17:24] <apus> recon69_lap: okay that will disable it but i guess not remove it from boot runlevels ... ?
[17:24] <muneeb> !cloning
[17:25] <glebihan> apus, if you want to remove it from boot process, as I said, uninstall it
[17:25] <d8bhatta> hello guys...in ubuntu..my skype suddenly crashed...and when I try to login with clicking skype icon, I get error message ..another instance of skype exist....how can i remove old instance and start new...
[17:25] <apus> glebihan: it is not my system .... there has to be a way to remove it from the boot process without uninstalling ...
[17:25] <theadmin> d8bhatta: killall skype
[17:26] <d8bhatta> i also did that....but still it is saying same  theadmin:
[17:26] <muneeb> !automate
[17:26] <glebihan> apus, I don't how it not being your system changes anything, but anyway there's no clean way to remove it without uninstalling (you could move the /etc/init/ufw file to a /etc/init/disbaled folder)
[17:26] <theadmin> d8bhatta: Fine, killall -s 9 skype
[17:27] <apus> glebihan: how about this update-rc.d ?
[17:27] <ooxi> hi is there a way to tell the  ubuntu server to install a minimal distribution? i did not select any of the services in the last prompt, but the base install is like 1,2gib
[17:27] <glebihan> apus, that won't work as ufw init scripts work with upstart and not sysVinit
[17:28] <theadmin> ooxi: That's quite small... Go install Arch :P
[17:28] <d8bhatta> theadmin: yes it worked..what does that -s 9 do in the command?
[17:28] <apus> glebihan: ah okay ... then removing it?
[17:28] <theadmin> d8bhatta: SIGKILL
[17:28] <cheater> using 9 is lame
[17:28] <apus> apt-get remove ufw?
[17:28] <cheater> you should use 15, wait a few moments, if that doesn't work use 2, then 1
[17:29] <d8bhatta> theadmin: thanks...
[17:29] <cheater> then don't use 9, just remove the software from your hard disk
[17:29] <glebihan> apus, to me the best way is to remove it, if you don't want to you could move the /etc/init/ufw file as I suggested in my previous post
[17:29] <ooxi> theadmin, hehe. its really not much but i want to run it as vm on my netbook where hard disk space is very limited. moreover i like the ubuntu sudo way instead of the debian root way (i know i can configure it but why, ubuntu has it as default)
[17:29] <cheater> because it is too broken to be running on a computer
[17:30] <apus> glebihan: could you please confirm, that sudo apt-get remove ufw is correct?
[17:30] <glebihan> apus, it is
[17:31] <recon69_lap> got a network bug in ubuntu 10.04, lose network connection when a gui event happens in the background while playing a multiplayer fps, requires a reboot, wondering is there a page that i can down load to gather info for the bug report.
[17:32] <recon69_lap> goes looking for answers for himself :)
[17:32] <mexia> recon its not just one
[17:32] <mexia> its all flash videos the outube videos was an example
[17:33] <mexia> the thing is that when i click pause the video dont stops rigth then it as some delay same at playing
[17:34] <theadmin> ooxi: vm on a netbook? Is that even possible?
[17:35] <muneeb> is there any way I can back up my all configuration files? I'm reinstalling ubuntu.
[17:36] <Ephexeve> Hey all
[17:36] <Ephexeve> Anyone can help me out?
[17:37] <Ephexeve> I've been the whole day trying
[17:37] <glebihan> muneeb, configuration files are mostly in your home folder (files and folders starting by ".") and in /etc, backing up those folders should allow you to keep most of your configuration
[17:37] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[17:37] <recon69_lap> mexia: cant think of anything, cant say as i'v experienced this problem
[17:38] <nes_> exit
[17:38] <Ephexeve> I've been having problems on my laptop
[17:38] <glebihan> !backup | muneeb, also :
[17:38] <Ephexeve> I have a new packard bell easynote Tk81, but the video is the problem
[17:38] <mexia> rho
[17:38] <ooxi> theadmin, yes its quite viable to say the least :-) as long as you don't try to emulate a graphical environment. but it saves you from installing a webserver / database on your base system etc. if you just want to try some skripts
[17:38] <mexia> ho*
[17:38] <muneeb> glebihan, okay.. I'm backing up my home folder. what about /etc? i have to backup all of it?
[17:39] <Ephexeve> everytime I go to the driver section, I isntall ATI, after rebooting, i have a watermark and everything runs very slow
[17:39] <mexia> i saw people on foruns that had same problem but never found and fix
[17:39] <Ephexeve> any help about it?
[17:39] <mexia> a* fix
[17:39] <glebihan> muneeb, I'd recommend to backup it all (it shouldn't be very big)
[17:40] <muneeb> glebihan, okay
[17:40] <ssk_the_gr8> totem is not playing mp4 videos... what is the fix?
[17:41] <theadmin> ssk_the_gr8: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:41] <Ephexeve> anyone can help?
[17:42] <ssk_the_gr8> theadmin: restricted extras is installed, it could play those videos till yesterday
[17:42] <BrianOfTacoma> What would the bash command be to delete all files of the .mp3 type from a particular directory recursively?
[17:43] <BrianOfTacoma> And where could I find a good description of how to craft such a command in the future?
[17:43] <theadmin> BrianOfTacoma: find yourfolder -iname '*.mp3' -delete
[17:43] <llutz> find /path -type f -iname '*.mp3'|xargs rm
[17:43] <BrianOfTacoma> ok ... very cool
[17:44] <BrianOfTacoma> any advise on a good bash learning site or resource?
[17:44] <abdu247> hi evry one
[17:44] <anth0ny> how do I make a directory executable by user 'www'?  having issues finding the exact code
[17:45] <theadmin> anth0ny: chown www directory ; chmod u+x directory
[17:45] <ni1s> that should be u+X
[17:45] <leeping> Hey there, can someone help me with a compiler error?  My error message is "cannot find -lmpi_f77" but it should clearly be in the library search path.
[17:46] <theadmin> ni1s: Why is that? x would work just fine
[17:46] <anth0ny> theadmin, so a directory can have multiple owners?
[17:46] <theadmin> anth0ny: No.
[17:46] <llutz> ni1s: no difference in that case
[17:46] <leeping> ls
[17:46] <leeping> oops. :)
[17:46] <BrianOfTacoma> theadmin, the command you gave will recursively search within folders and delete mp3's in there as well?
[17:46] <theadmin> anth0ny: If your kernel is compiled with ACL support, you will probably have a way of doing that without having to change the ownership
[17:47] <theadmin> BrianOfTacoma: Yeah
[17:48] <BrianOfTacoma> theadmin, where would you advise new Linux users to go to fully learn bash?
[17:48] <theadmin> BrianOfTacoma: Probably #bash
[17:48] <anth0ny> theadmin, well, I've set up a virtual host with apache and am getting a 403: File Permissions error.  I've read that it's likey due to not allowing the user 'www' to execute the directory.  I'm specifically trying to rectify that
[17:48] <BrianOfTacoma> well ... I mean is there a site or pdf out there?  Instead of having to bug people all the time
[17:49] <recon69_lap> got a network bug in ubuntu 10.04, lose network connection when a gui event happens in the background while playing a multiplayer fps, requires a reboot to get network manager to re-connect, wondering is there a page that i can down load to gather info for the bug report.

[17:49] <glebihan> BrianOfTacoma, a good starting point could be https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[17:49] <theadmin> anth0ny: That would help if ACLs are supported
[17:50] <BrianOfTacoma> k thanks guys
[17:50] <battlehands> I downloaded an install file for an OS in .exe format.  I now need to install this OS.  Do I need to treat it as an ISO image?

[17:50] <ssk_the_gr8> guys, any help :(
[17:51] <anth0ny> theadmin, thanks, going to read up to learn what ACLs are

[17:55] <ssk_the_gr8> totem is not playing mp4 videos... what is the fix? ( i have restricted extras installed, these mp4 files used to work with totem till yesterday)
[17:56] <Tixos> how can i totally remove a package, so it no longer displays 'i' in package list ?
[17:56] <Ephexeve> ffs, thanks all, bye
[17:57] <qin> Tixos: sudo apt-get remove --purge package
[17:57] <Tixos> hmm, ok i never used like that, let me check
[17:57] <theadmin> qin: Wrong. It is "sudo apt-get --purge remove package"
[17:57] <theadmin> qin: Anything after install, remove, update, upgrade etc is taken as package name
[17:58] <llutz> sudo apt-get purge package
[17:58] <llutz> confusion complete now?
[17:58] <Tixos> wtf
[17:58] <theadmin> Or what (s)he said.
[17:58] <Tixos> i did what llutz said
[17:58] <Tixos> and it says
[17:58] <llutz> still "he"
[17:58] <delac> just use synaptic

[18:01] <llutz> [19:57:55] <theadmin> qin: Anything after install, remove, update, upgrade etc is taken as package name  -< wrong,  man apt-get|less -p --purge
[18:01] <Tixos> llutz: what exactly i need to do to remove that 'i' it says its not installed, but what does this mean ?
[18:02] <Polah> How can I change my keyboard layout from command line?

[18:03] <ssk_the_gr8> totem is not playing mp4 videos... what is the fix? ( i have restricted extras installed, these mp4 files used to work with totem till yesterday)
[18:03] <ssk_the_gr8>
[18:03] <gentoo-intel> ssk_the_gr8, what happened yesterday?
[18:04] <musl> apt-get update maybe?
[18:04] <neave> it's not much use if the wifi troubleshooting howtos contradict themselves is it?
[18:04] <lagrande> I get debootstrap warnings during installation
[18:04] <theadmin> llutz: lool...
[18:04] <lagrande> have verified the hash of the iso and burnt 3 discs so far
[18:05] <lagrande> can the installer download packages instead of using the cd sources?
[18:07] <recon69_lap> right, found my commands for next net outage, :) , take care all i'm off
[18:09] <ssk_the_gr8> gentoo-intel: i did run the update manager... lib vnc.. was updated or something like that... i can play other video files but mp4's are giving me issues

[18:10] <kristopher> Anyone testing Beta 1
[18:10] <p896gbm> i need to buy a laptop for ubuntu. suggestions?
[18:10] <qin> kristopher: /join #ubuntu+1 (yes)
[18:10] <rigved_> hi everyone. i was reading through the logs of the ubuntu app dev week on translations by dpm. i do not understand the concept of imports and exports. specifically, i do not understand the part where your imports and exports should go to the same branch. can anyone help?
[18:10] <gentoo-intel> p896gbm, almost any one will work
[18:10] <delac> any way to change Page style properties for all sheets in openoffice calc? Each sheet has its own style.
[18:10] <kristopher> they all work well
[18:10] <rigved_> kristopher: yes.
[18:11] <kristopher> ubuntu is liteaptop will do u fine on resources so any l
[18:11] <kristopher> ughh
[18:11] <BT_> lol
[18:11] <MonkeyDust> try again kristopher  :p
[18:11] <kristopher> Has anyone experienced difficulty getting (ICS) Internet connection sharing to work in the beta 1 development
[18:12] <theadmin> !ubuntu+1 | kristopher
[18:12] <qin> kristopher: /join #ubuntu+1 for bets
[18:12] <rigved_> zanberdo: when you use two cards of the same model, you can use something like SLI technology to pair them and make them work in sync. how can you use two different cards and expect them to work properly together?
[18:12] <rigved_> !11.10 | kristopher
[18:13] <kristopher> thanks qin have a few bugs im not sure the dev community is aware of id like to check into
[18:13] <Polah> gentoo-intel: /quit
[18:13] <zanberdo> rigved_, I don't know, that's why I was asking. So it seems the only alternative would be to install a second nVidia GT220 perhaps
[18:13] <qin> kristopher: There are release notes on web, and probaly some bus on launchpad.
[18:13] <andybrine> Hey Everyone
[18:14] <qin> *bugs

[18:14] <theadmin> andybrine: Lots of... Try Festival
[18:14] <qin> andybrine: festival, mbrola
[18:14] <goltoof> hai guys
[18:14] <theadmin> andybrine: No others come to mind just yet
[18:14] <rigved_> zanberdo: afaik, yes. then you can use an SLI bridge to connect both the cards.
[18:14] <gentoo-intel> ubuntu sam
[18:14] <rigved_> !orca | andybrine
[18:15] <andybrine> theadmin, is that right? sorry i mean speech to text
[18:15] <goltoof> so vbox freezes everything when i run it now... just export the .ova and remove --purge, reinstall should do the trick?
[18:15] <goltoof> #vbox is empty
[18:16] <goltoof> don't want to lose my machine
[18:16] <llutz>  #vbox has >240 users
[18:16] <goltoof> no one responded

[18:17] <andybrine> qin thanks
[18:18] <theadmin> Android does speech recognition very well, since Android is Linux... Well, there must be proper ways to do so on ordinary distros, too
[18:19] <kristopher> Where can I get those release notes, list of all known bugs in 11.10 beta 1
[18:19] <Pici> kristopher: they're linked in the topic of #ubuntu+1
[18:19] <theadmin> kristopher: You were told already, go to #ubuntu+1
[18:19] <battlehands> Can someone help me format both the partitions of my drive (including the one Im booted into) to NTFS?
[18:20] <kristopher> yeah im on it sry lol didnt scroll up
[18:20] <theadmin> battlehands: You can't do that...
[18:20] <theadmin> battlehands: You need a livecd
[18:20] <battlehands> theadmin, I have one of those
[18:20] <theadmin> battlehands: Then boot into it, and... What's the big deal? mkfs.ntfs /dev/sda*
[18:21] <oozry> fisrt time to here
[18:21] <zykotick9_> battlehands, ##windows would be a better place to ask, if you're not going to using Ubuntu (or GNU/Linux) - and you can't be if you want everything NTFS
[18:21] <battlehands> theadmin, the "bigness" of the deal depends on the deal makers understanding of the game
[18:21] <runa`> hi everybody i have a question which is not really related to ubuntu but i do not know where to ask. i  use skype in my everyday life and i wanted to switch away, maybe to google talk or whatever its colled. do you suggest it? what about the sound quality? Thanks in advace and sorry for being out of topic...
[18:21] <Travis-42> Is there a way to make the "grid" compiz plugin effects permanent? e.g. if I resize with grid to take up the left half of the screen, and then I move the window with the mouse, it goes back to it's original position instead of retaining size. I would prefer that it stay the same size. any ideas?
[18:22] <Pici> !ot | runa`
[18:23] <ssk_the_gr8> totme has stopped playing some mp4 files... how do i fix it?
[18:23] <zykotick9_> runa`, if you only need voice (and not video) check out Mumble, if you're willing to run a service on your computer.
[18:24] <qin> Travis-42: wmctrl would be better than gird for it, there is also "place" plugin in compiz, but never got it to do what I wanted.
[18:24] <zykotick9_> ssk_the_gr8, do players like vlc or mplayer still play the MP4 files?
[18:24] <SIFTU> qin: I didnt think wmctrl working with compiz.. does for metacity
[18:25] <zykotick9_> qin, according to wmctrl's homepage it doesn't support compiz.  SIFTU yes it works in metacity.
[18:25] <ssk_the_gr8> zykotick9_: the problem is i can play some mp4 files, and i cant play a few others... very confusing
[18:25] <battlehands> How do I get into Gparted in unity?
[18:25] <ssk_the_gr8> battlehands: super key
[18:25] <ssk_the_gr8> then type gparted
[18:26] <battlehands> ssk_the_gr8, super key?
[18:26] <qin> zykotick9_, SIFTU: noted, thx.
[18:26] <ssk_the_gr8> battlehands: windows key
[18:27] <battlehands> ssk_the_gr8, when I do that, nothing is displayed under 'gparted;
[18:27] <battlehands> I have had trouble with this version of ubuntu ever since I installed it
[18:28] <auronandace> battlehands: sudo apt-get install gparted
[18:28] <auronandace> battlehands: it isn't installed by default
[18:28] <arowana> Hello, Does anyone have a suggestion on which program to use to secure my IRC connection? .. Mainly so I don't show my ip address ..
[18:28] <arowana> Thanks
[18:29] <battlehands> auronandace, E: Invalid operation gparted
[18:29] <zykotick9_> arowana, get a cloak, don't ask me how - try #freenode perhaps
[18:29] <plouffe> is it possible to turn off the numerical switch (Num-Key) on my keyboard from ubuntu?
[18:29] <auronandace> battlehands: did you type what i did?
[18:29] <arowana> zykotick9_: thanks I just need keywords to google, I'll work the rest out. :)
[18:30] <goltoof> !anonymity: arowana
[18:30] <llutz> arowana: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks
[18:30] <battlehands> auronandace, I made a mistake
[18:30] <goltoof> :/
[18:30] <ssk_the_gr8> zykotick9_: can u think of a solution, why am i facing this issue?
[18:30] <joklight> hello
[18:30] <ssk_the_gr8> is totem broken because of an update or is it something else?
[18:30] <himcesjf> !info envstat
[18:30] <battlehands> auronandace, I need to add a NTFS partition, how do I do that?
[18:30] <zykotick9_> ssk_the_gr8, my guess is because you're using Totem (a sub-par media player), and you didn't answer my vlc/mplayer question - so i really don't know
[18:31] <auronandace> !partitioning | battlehands
[18:32] <in0cula> my X crash when i move some icons or images, appear a black screen full of code and ther X restart, how do I visualize this text to check the error?
[18:32] <himcesjf> Is there any package like envstat in Ubuntu which is used in unixes/NetBSD probably?
[18:32] <its> anyone know how to screen-share an ubuntu screen from a mac?
[18:32] <zykotick9_> in0cula, check log in /var/log/Xorg.0.log perhaps?
[18:33] <auronandace> its: teamviewer?
[18:33] <its> i'll google it
[18:33] <r000t> Hello. I installed an nvidia card alongside my on-board graphics, then installed the drivers. I then followed instructions online to get it working, and now I can't even run GDM.
[18:33] <in0cula> i check there but there is not the code I view in the crash screen
[18:33] <ipa> its: you might check out x2go also
[18:33] <B0g4r7> Natty includes a decent VNC server.
[18:33] <zykotick9_> in0cula, try dmesg perhaps?
[18:34] <ikonia> r000t: you'll struggle to use two video cards like that
[18:34] <B0g4r7> System-->Preferences-->Remote Desktop.
[18:34] <ikonia> r000t: you'll need to run two totally seperate Xorg sessions and using something like xinerama to span both monitors
[18:34] <r000t> ikonia: the goal isn't to use two cards, I just want to use the nvidia card. I have to make it soley use the on board, else it enters a reboot loop
[18:34] <B0g4r7> Use OS X's "screen sharing" client to connect to it.  Done.
[18:34] <battlehands> what If I dont see Manually edit partition table when trying to add a partition?
[18:34] <ikonia> r000t: can you disable the onboard in the bios ?
[18:35] <r000t> ikonia: I can make it not the primary, but that makes it enter a reboot loop where it does not even get past GRUB
[18:35] <in0cula> yes I think here is the log, THANK YOU, let you knoe
[18:35] <ikonia> r000t: the video card should not change the booting at all,
[18:35] <SIFTU> r000t: you wont to use the onboard or the nvidia.. did you try blackisting the module you didnt want
[18:35] <ikonia> r000t: the only thing it should/could change would be the display
[18:35] <ikonia> r000t: the machine should still boot
[18:36] <r000t> SIFTU: how do I do that without risking permanent damage to the install?
[18:36] <r000t> ikonia: if I make the nvidia the primary, it gets to grub, spits out a few lines, then POSTS, then enters grub, spits out a few lines, then POSTS, etc
[18:36] <ikonia> r000t: that suggests a hardware issue
[18:36] <SIFTU> r000t: oh, so it doesnt even load the kernel
[18:36] <ikonia> r000t: either a failure or an incompatability with the intel one at the same time
[18:36] <ssk_the_gr8> zykotick9_: i'm on a a very slow /limited connection cant download software :(
[18:37] <r000t> ikonia: and when I ran something called nvidia-configure, now I can't even get to GDM on the main card
[18:37] <r000t> the nvidia card is no longer in the box at the moment
[18:37] <zykotick9_> ssk_the_gr8, sorry i don't have any suggestions for you - good luck.
[18:37] <B0g4r7> ssk_the_gr8, have a look at medibuntu.org
[18:37] <ikonia> r000t: that's just display issues, I'm more concerned by the fact that it won't boot with the nvidia card in
[18:37] <SIFTU> r000t: confused.. its it loading the kernel and getting to grub?
[18:37] <ikonia> r000t: the display issue is easy to fix
[18:37] <ikonia> SIFTU: grub is before the kernel
[18:38] <SIFTU> r000t: just remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:38] <its> SIFtU, I'm past all that :P
[18:38] <SIFTU> ikonia: um I know.. but he was talking about GDM
[18:38] <ikonia> SIFTU: so obviously the kernel loads and grub loads
[18:38] <r000t> well I don't know
[18:38] <Tixos> guys please someone help me
[18:38] <r000t> I only see a flash of text after I press F1 to get past the floppy error
[18:38] <its> SIFTU, Im in ubuntu server edition and I have my mac sitting right next to it.
[18:38] <B0g4r7> I had to install some extras from medibuntu to get support for all the codecs I wanted to use.
[18:38] <Tixos> with aptitude, the package list, and the key p,A,v,i etc
[18:38] <LarrySteeze> Hello!
[18:39] <ikonia> r000t: use the"recovery mode on the grub line to get into the recovery shell then remove the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf as SIFTU has suggested
[18:39] <r000t> I'm using x64 if that matters
[18:39] <r000t> okay
[18:39] <Tixos> if a package has 'pi' next to it, what does this mean
[18:39]  * LarrySteeze wants to know if he can ask a stupid newbie question
[18:39] <r000t> I'll try that and be right back
[18:39] <r000t> I'm on the box right now so I can just do that in another tty
[18:39] <B0g4r7> Larry, don't ask to ask.  Just ask.  :)
[18:39] <LarrySteeze> haha ok
[18:39] <SIFTU> ikonia: well some of the info wasnt suggesting that.. I was trying to clarify
[18:40] <ikonia> SIFTU: I understand
[18:40] <_cb> What do you recommend for running an XP virtual machine in Ubuntu? (Saw positive comments for Virtualbox but libvirt comes with Ubuntu Server)
[18:40] <LarrySteeze> well, I have no problem connecting via ethernet, but I can't seem to figure out how to connect to a wifi network, or if my install is even catching the wifi nic
[18:40] <ssk_the_gr8> zykotick9_: thanx for the help
 mmm I think isn't even there
[18:40] <urlin2u> _cb, VB is rather easy.
[18:40] <in0cula> where i can check
[18:40] <zykotick9_> _cb, libvirt + kvm REQUIRES your CPU to have virtualation suppor
[18:41] <_cb> does libvirt do anything that VB does not do?
[18:41] <B0g4r7> _cb, I've used virtualbox a few times and find it works pretty well.
[18:41] <zykotick9_> in0cula, i don't have any other suggestions - good luck
[18:41] <B0g4r7> For day-to-day use, I use VMware Workstation myself.
[18:41] <B0g4r7> (which is not free)
[18:41] <zykotick9_> _cb, it's better for server stuff
[18:41] <in0cula> thx anyway
[18:41] <_cb> K Virtualbox it is. Thanks!
[18:41] <frankie`n> Blender's running really slow on my computer (11.04)
[18:42] <frankie`n> I think it's compiz slowing it down
[18:42] <frankie`n> what do I have to change to fix it?
[18:42] <goltoof> i/o error when trying to copy something from trash..
[18:42] <zykotick9_> frankie`n, to rule out compiz, use classic without compiz
[18:42] <LarrySteeze> never mind, I think I figured it out
[18:42] <goltoof> it's a 40gb virtual machine, i need to get it out of trash
[18:42] <B0g4r7> LarrySteeze, look for a menu in the upper right that shows two up/down arrows.  Check in there to see if it mentions wireless networks.
[18:42] <Tixos> guys, how can a package be purge and installed at the same time ??!!
[18:43] <zykotick9_> Tixos, even if you remove/uninstall stuff, it's still going to be listed in "dpkg -l"
[18:43] <goltoof> Tixos:  no
[18:43] <LarrySteeze> B0g4r7: I figured it out...I needed to go into System > Administration > Additional Drivers
[18:43] <B0g4r7> ah
[18:43] <Tixos> it says 'pi' in the first column
[18:44] <Tixos> why?
[18:44] <LarrySteeze> I'm surprised standard broadcom drivers don't come vanilla
[18:44] <Pici> Tixos: Try apt-get install -f
[18:44] <zykotick9_> Tixos, p: Purge (marked for purging)
[18:44] <Tixos> no change
[18:44] <Tixos> example..
[18:44] <Tixos> pi  ruby1.8
[18:45] <LarrySteeze> Now, if only I could figure out how to apply sudo to real life...
[18:45] <samuel> hello guys
[18:45] <samuel> a
[18:45] <o_portista17> hello, i have a problem with my ubuntu, this keeps hanging, and i have to shutdown manually...the error is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/686729/
[18:45] <goltoof> i get an i/o error when trying to copy a 40gb file from trash... is there a tool out there for this?
[18:45] <frankie`n> zykotick9_: I'll try it, brb
[18:45] <samuel> ive been trying to figure this out: how do you run bash scripts on login?
[18:45] <samuel> when using unity
[18:45] <Tixos> zykotick9_: marked for purging? how to actually purge/remove then ?
[18:45] <executionist> /
[18:46] <zykotick9_> Tixos, not sure how you're purging, I'd think it should happen right away.
[18:46] <Tixos> i want to remove all these packages
[18:46] <Tixos> says they arent installed, but next to the package is 'pi'
[18:46] <Tixos> uninstalled packages are just 'p'
[18:46] <accipter> I have an executable in /usr/bin/ that I want to rename with a symoblic link, but the link isn't executable
[18:47] <zykotick9_> Tixos, are the packages still working on your system?
[18:47] <B0g4r7> goltoof, "copy from trash" does not make a lot of sense really.  The fact that you are receiving an i/o error is in no way connected with the items being copied residing "in the trash".
[18:47] <erik1984> samuel: system setting > startup applications > add
[18:47] <Tixos> i have no idea! zykotick9_
[18:47] <Tixos> ruby repos are trash in ubuntu, do not work on 1.9.1, so i have been told to remove and install from source
[18:47] <goltoof> B0g4r7: copy from here  ~/.local/share/Trash/files/.VirtualBox/  to here  ~/
[18:48] <goltoof> B0g4r7:  i get an i/o error
[18:48] <B0g4r7> goltoof, what if you instead move the files?
[18:48] <Tixos> zykotick9_:  have you never come across this key for packages?
[18:48] <frankie`n> zykotick9_: I'm in clasic no effects and it works perfectly
[18:48] <goltoof> B0g4r7:  i get an i/o error in nautilus and cli
[18:48] <zykotick9_> frankie`n, so - it is compiz/unity issue then.  Good luck with that.
[18:48] <goltoof> B0g4r7:  no matter where i try to copy to
[18:49] <frankie`n> zykotick9_: lol thanks ;)
[18:49] <goltoof> B0g4r7:  or "move" to
[18:49] <zykotick9_> goltoof, if you get an i/o error, then you might have a problem with the HD in question.
[18:49] <B0g4r7> goltoof, it kind of sounds like the media the files reside on is damaged.
[18:50] <sevith> I have a problem. When I boot my indicator applet (Complete) gets broken and my wireless wont show up, therefore i cannot see the networks around or connect to anything? Anyone heard of this? is there another application that I can use to connect to wifi? Preferable cmd line but GUI apps will work too...Doesnt really matter to me I guess...
[18:50] <lgp171188> Hi, I just installed oneiric beta1. After the installation, I am unable to hear the audio through my laptop speakers, but if I connect my headphones, I can hear the audio. I checked the alsamixer and master, speaker are full. there is no front. What could be the issue and how to debug it?
[18:50] <goltoof> zykotick9_:  i think that's it, it's an xp vm, it was freezing the system so i reinstalled vbox.. so i guess the vm is pretty much screwed.. no way to check it's integrity?
[18:50] <xangua> !oneiric | lgp171188
[18:50] <zykotick9_> goltoof, does "dmesg" list a bunch of I/O errors?  If so, I'd start backing up whatever you can off that drive.
[18:50] <vacho> what is a good way of transfering files from a FTP to another bypassing my own computer?
[18:51] <Sevith> vacho, Ftp...?...
[18:51] <B0g4r7> goltoof, you can use something like ddrescue to copy all of the readable areas of the file and replace the damaged pieces with zeros.
[18:51] <vacho> Sevith, ...
[18:51] <kuru> I have a weird problem where when I do a tail -f /var/log/xxx it shows parts of it and then tells me there is no space left on device
[18:51] <goltoof> zykotick9_:  you mean my entire system??  it was only vbox that was making it freeze, system runs fine
[18:51] <kuru> which device is it referring to? I have 22gb left on the hdd
[18:51] <Sevith> vacho, What do you mean you want to transfer files but bypass your computer? That doesnt make sense to me explain? :/ Maybe Im missing something
[18:52] <faustisch> "faustisch is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported." what do I do? what is the root password?
[18:52] <kuru> and everything is mounted on /  so there aren't any weird partitions going on
[18:52] <Sevith> I have a problem. When I boot my indicator applet (Complete) gets broken and my wireless wont show up, therefore i cannot see the networks around or connect to anything? Anyone heard of this? is there another application that I can use to connect to wifi? Preferable cmd line but GUI apps will work too...Doesnt really matter to me I guess...
[18:52] <zykotick9_> goltoof, "system runs fine" right now, but if you're getting I/O errors, it suggests problems with your hard drive.
[18:52] <B0g4r7> vacho, I recall the program "FlashFXP" having that capability...
[18:52] <goltoof> zykotick9_:  only one i/o error from attempting to copy in dmesg
[18:52] <kuru> anyone help?
[18:52] <zykotick9_> goltoof, so it's likely that where that file is located on the HD, had issues.  Good luck.
[18:52] <B0g4r7> However, I don't know about running FlashFXP on a linux system...
[18:53] <goltoof> zykotick9_:  what tool do i use to check integrity of the whole disk?
[18:53] <Pici> kuru: Can you pastebin the output of 'df -h'  ?
[18:53] <B0g4r7> goltoof, I would recommend using "badblocks" for that job.
[18:53] <goltoof> i'll just dump the corrupt vm
[18:53] <goltoof> B0g4r7:  ah yes tht's the one
[18:53] <faustisch> sudo sucks ass, I'm moving to debian, ubuntu ain't got mail either
[18:53] <w30> vacho, scp can copy from any computer to another but you need ssh and ssh permissions on both computers
[18:53] <zykotick9_> goltoof, look into "smart" tools, to verify the physical drive -- it could just be a filesystem issue, in which case fsck
[18:54] <urlin2u> kuru, are you going by what the manufacturer says the disc size or actual?
[18:54] <kuru> pici, http://pastebin.com/c9jWS25q
[18:54] <Sevith> I have a problem. When I boot my indicator applet (Complete) gets broken and my wireless wont show up, therefore i cannot see the networks around or connect to anything? Anyone heard of this? is there another application that I can use to connect to wifi? Preferable cmd line but GUI apps will work too...Doesnt really matter to me I guess...
[18:54] <Pici> faustisch: Mind your language here please.
[18:54] <faustisch> Pici, what are you? a pentecostal priest?
[18:54] <kuru> urlin2u, I'm saying, this really doesn't look like I'm out of space
[18:54] <krzyhoo> hello gurus
[18:54] <krzyhoo> got a problem
[18:55] <vacho> w30, I have ssh on both
[18:55] <kkulhavy> Pici, I don't think faustisch wanted to insult anyone, his language was directed against a piece of software
[18:55] <vacho> scp

[18:55] <krzyhoo> literally nothing happens
[18:55] <Klunk> Hi everyone, I am having a problem with my sound on Natty. I have an on-board sound card and a graphics card with HDMI output. Sound worked fine with the onboard card until I decided to try HDMI and now I get no sound at all. I have tried all combinations of output in the sound preferences and tried connecting the speakers to different outputs. I want to get the onboard sound working and I am happy to remove the HDMI capability as I will never be connect
[18:55] <Klunk> ing to the TV again. Thanks for any help
[18:56] <urlin2u> kuru, look at the disc with gparted or the disk manager.
[18:56] <Pici> kuru: That shouldn't cause any issues.  Does your log say out of disk space, or is it tail itself that is giving you the error message?
[18:56] <kuru> urlin2u, why?
[18:56] <sourabh> hey....
[18:56] <kuru> pici, I can't tail any log files, so it's hard to tell
[18:56] <uns0b1ll> how would i find all rar's and extract them into differnt folde on ubuntu
[18:57] <Sevith> No one can help me then I'm assuming.
[18:57] <krzyhoo> any experts here on installing from USB-drive??
[18:57] <kuru> tail: cannot watch `/var/log/syslog': No space left on device
[18:58] <zykotick9_> kuru, perhaps boot a livecd and free up some space
[18:58] <kuru> zykotick9_, I would have to be OUT of space first to free some
[19:00] <zykotick9_> kuru, and how to you interpret the message "No space left on device" exactly?
[19:00] <Pici> kuru: Looks like this is a bug in tail.  It should be giving you a message about inotify: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/700958
[19:00] <B0g4r7> tail reports out of space?  That's pretty weird.  It shouldn't normally be writing anything.
[19:00] <urlin2u> Sevith, what is the release your running?
[19:01] <goltoof> any way to check for badblocks while drive is mounted?
[19:01] <rasusto> @goltoof fsck
[19:01] <kuru> zybotick9, how do you interpret this then? http://pastebin.com/c9jWS25q
[19:01] <Sevith> urlin2u, 11.04 classic mode. I wonder if maybe the drivers are mucking up during boot? The card's an Advanced Centrino N 6200
[19:01] <zykotick9_> kuru, ummm, so it's a tail bug, interesting.  Sorry, my bad.
[19:02] <Pici> kuru: You'd need to raise the max_user_watches level of inotify:  check current using: sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches    and increase using: sudo sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_watches=16384
[19:02] <B0g4r7> kuru, what command are you typing exactly when that error occurs?
[19:02] <urlin2u> goltoof, on the HD?
[19:02] <rasusto> @goltoof my bad, for bad sectors use chdsk
[19:03] <B0g4r7> goltoof, yes, you can preform a read-only test on your hard drive while partitions on it are mounted.
[19:03] <Sevith> urlin2u, Any ideas?
[19:03] <B0g4r7> goltoof, sudo badblocks -vv /dev/sda
[19:03] <B0g4r7> or similar
[19:03] <Sevith> kuru, sudo  rm -rf shall free some space -.- (JK dont do that it was a joke but somone will flame me)
[19:03] <urlin2u> Sevith, I see stuff on the web but boot indicator I have no idea what that is.
[19:04] <goltoof> B0g4r7:  would it be better to check from livedisk?
[19:04] <Sevith> urlin2u, Its just an app indicator on my panel that i can connect to wireless with ease...but half the time when I boot it doesnt pop up. and wont pop up
[19:04] <rasusto> @Sevith isnt that the command for a directory listing?
[19:04] <B0g4r7> goltoof, I don't see any reason why that would be better.  You could though.
[19:04] <Sevith> rasusto, rm -rf? ....Sure...
[19:04] <goltoof> .03% done... this will be a while
[19:05] <urlin2u> Sevith, thats a third party eh?
[19:05] <Sevith> urlin2u, Nope.   Be aware that the write/read test is destructive.  It will erase anything on the device beng tested.
[19:06] <Sevith> urlin2u, Weird. Actualy. Compiz mucked my computer up so bad when i upgraded to 11.04 with unity. I had to unistall it. I cant even reinstall and have compiz work correctly.
[19:06] <goltoof> B0g4r7:  oic
[19:06] <krzyhoo> anyone had problem with installing from USB??
[19:07] <urlin2u> Sevith, tyope metacity --replace in the terminal, removing compiz was not a good move.
[19:07] <Sevith> krzyhoo, Do you mean your having issues booting into the USB?
[19:07] <carlos> khangman no abre
[19:08] <Sevith> urlin2u, I didnt think compiz was too critical? :( f*xr. Should I reinstall? or what?
[19:08] <w30> Sevith, that command should have a 3 day waiting peroid
[19:08] <krzyhoo> Sevith: let me describe. bought a fresh lenovo x121e subnotebook. Am trying to install form usb but i fail. Created a USB stick with unetbooting. On my desktopt it boots fine (with unetbootin menu etc.) on my x121e instead of unetbootin menu grub starts and after a while everything hangs...
[19:08] <urlin2u> Sevith, not sure really, compiz is actually part of unity the classic as well I suspect.
[19:12] <sevith> urlin2u, wow metacity --replace did all sorts of craziness
[19:12] <sevith> urlin2u, it was pretty awesome
[19:13] <krzyhoo> so sevith : any clues?
[19:13] <krzyhoo> ideas?
[19:14] <sevith> krzyhoo, Can you boot into live mode without installing with the USB?
[19:15] <urlin2u> sevith, did it help or hurt?
[19:15] <CodeOmegaPrime> Vamps-Win7 : It worked like a charm GRUB2 installed nicely and found windows 7
[19:16] <krzyhoo> sevith: what do you mean? have no cd, so usb ist pretty much the onlz option
[19:16] <Klunk> nobody got any idea about my sound problem?
[19:17] <sevith> krzyhoo, Thats what I mean. Have you installed it onto the USB or is this what you want? To install onto the USB?
[19:17] <sourabh> what typeof problem
[19:17] <Klunk> sound has stopped working since I tried the hdmi output,
[19:17] <sevith> urlin2u, No go. Froze me up. Im reinstalling compiz and gonna do a few tweaks it might help if now I guess ill have to manually muck with it everytime or something
[19:17] <sourabh> hey my touch pad is not working some body help me..
[19:18] <sourabh> please
[19:18] <krzyhoo> sevith: no, hava a bootbale usb and want it on my laptop
[19:18] <urlin2u> sevith, you can set compiz to default I would assume even on a reinstall, you want the cube is that it?
[19:19] <sevith> urlin2u, Dont really care about the cube or anything too visually appealing. I just want my wireless to not break everytime I boot. hah
[19:19] <_cb> If I have an XP virtual box on an Ubuntu Machine I should be able to use LTSP or No Machine to run it via thin client, correct?
[19:19] <urlin2u> sevith, that would be nice. :D
[19:19] <sevith> krzyhoo, If you have Ubuntu installed onto the USB Already cant you just boot into the live version and install that way?
[19:19] <ModusPwnens> !cloning
[19:20] <sevith> urlin2u, Ill figure this out :( But im having issues with unresolved dependencies when attempting to install compiz. Even manually installed the dependencies and i still get the error. Says something about enabling all the repositories but they are all enabled.
[19:20] <piupiumbra> Does anyone know a detailled description of ubuntus software-center? Concerning up 2 date and detailed informations how a game could be purchased, which payment methods could be used (paypal ...), if I'll get a personalised deb:// for sources.list ... I'm running Kubuntu and so I can't test it by myself. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter contains many future options so I don't know what it is atm.
[19:20] <B0g4r7> _cb, use ltsp in what manner?
[19:21] <_cb> to run the virtual machine since it would be an app running on the server
[19:22] <sevith> gotto reboot well see how badly this breaks things :(
[19:22] <B0g4r7> _cb, I would think that would work.  I don't see why VirtualBox would not behave like any other X11 app.
[19:23] <B0g4r7> _cb, I believe VirtualBox also has some provisions for "serving" the vm via VNC that you might want to explore.
[19:23] <Dori922> hey, im following this guide for chrooting sftp: http://shapeshed.com/journal/chroot_sftp_users_on_ubuntu_intrepid/                The problem is its not working for me, SSH is blocked which is good and i can SFTP into the user, but the user can still browse thehigher up directories
[19:23] <_cb> B8g4r7 wow that would be a very inexpensive way of doing what MS terminal servers or Citrix do. (Granted I don't have the admin functionality of Citrix but for a small operation, who cares)
[19:24] <wunderkin> hello, i'm trying to upgrade a xen guest from 2.6.32 to 2.6.35, it was using xen blockfront and xvd device, but on 2.6.35 that is not showing up, i tried adding the module to the ramdisk but it isn't adding it.. is it not available on 2.6.35? it works on sd device but we have software that depends on xvd device.. is it better to use xvd device, if i can't, is there some way to alias it?  i was trying to in modprobe conf but i couldn't get it
[19:26] <B0g4r7> _cb, yeah, I would like to explore something like that, but without "client machines" even in the picture.  I envision one box with lots of video cards, ram and CPUs that has 12 (or more) sets of keyboard/mouse/display directly attached, to make 12 "stations".
[19:27] <B0g4r7> You can purchase HDMI and USB cables up to 50ft long...
[19:28] <_cb> B8g4r7 in the old days they called that a mainframe ;)
[19:28] <B0g4r7> Yeah, heh.
[19:29] <B0g4r7> Kinda like in the old days communication happened over digital lines (telegraph).  After moving to an analog system for a long time, we're back to digital once again.
[19:29] <_cb> I envision more of a server running multiple virtual machines and where you can access them via LTSP or No Machine any time, from anywhere, on any device
[19:30] <Pupeno> Any ideas why Ubuntu can't connect to a wifi created by macosx? all our android devices have no problem.
[19:30] <B0g4r7> That's probably relatively easily doable.  You'll need plenty of fast storage, ram, etc to make for a good user experience.
[19:30] <tomodachi> Pupeno: probably wifi driver problem. Have you tried making an open wifi network with the mac?
[19:31] <genii-around> B0g4r7: Have you checked out multiseat setups for X ?
[19:31] <B0g4r7> genii-around, Not yet.  My envisioned project is little more than a vision right now.
[19:31] <genii-around> B0g4r7: eg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX
[19:31] <Pupeno> tomodachi: no, let me see.
[19:32] <B0g4r7> Well that looks like just what I had in mind.
[19:32] <w30> _cb, that could be if Apple, Microsoft, Oracle can be prevented from the land grab concept
[19:32] <_cb> B0g4r7 instead of one huge server (single point of failure) I would prefer a multiple, clustered, load balanced servers.
[19:33] <excelsior> Help! I have a Dell630, and I don't know how to get the wireless working, and I have no access to wired connection. I'm obviously connected on another laptop. Any help?
[19:33] <excelsior> Just installed. I tried plugging into a wired connection but it's a static IP, which I assume prevented me connecting.
[19:33] <B0g4r7> _cb, yeah, there's definitely good things to be said of that kind of a design.  Handy for that is VirtualBox's Teleport feature that can migrate a running VM from one host to another.
[19:35] <_cb> B8g4r7 you can migrate a vm from one host to another. Wow that would be so cool. If a server starts to malfunction just migrate al the VM's to a working server?
[19:36] <genii-around> excelsior: Is it dualboot to Windows?
[19:36] <guntbert> B0g4r7: _cb: are you certain that your convo is on topic here?
[19:36] <B0g4r7> _cb, that's what the documentation seems to imply.  I imagine there could be a few tricky details to deal with.
[19:37] <Kaffer> Can anyone tell me why I can only boot sometimes in ubuntu. It stall with a black screen
[19:37] <B0g4r7> guntbert, not that certain, no.
[19:38] <Kaffer> Does anyone have the same problem?
[19:39] <excelsior> nm, got it working. Hardware switch on the side of the computer... geez
[19:39] <plouffe> is it possible to disable the numerical switch (Num-Key) on my keyboard from ubuntu?
[19:39] <excelsior> genii-around: yes it was
[19:39] <excelsior> is
[19:39] <h00k> Kaffer: that's quite vague, it sounds like a video card issue. What card do you have?
[19:40] <guntbert> Kaffer: does that help? http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/ubuntu-11-04-blank-screen-on-boot-solved/
[19:41] <joshh^> I have XP installed on my system...how do I install Ubuntu...I need dual boot...please help
[19:41] <Kaffer> h00k> I have noticed that Ubuntu is VERY unstable. This is the 4th time I reinstalled it and everytime it's a diffrent issue. Now only sometimes it stalls while booting.
[19:41] <w30> excelsior, doesn't that frost your b__ls !
[19:41] <Kaffer> Netbook
[19:42] <knightstalker> Kaffer,its quite stable here,maybe Hardware incompatibility?
[19:42] <knightstalker> and I am using Beta edition! :p
[19:42] <guntbert> !dualboot | joshh^
[19:42] <_cb> guntbert I am only an occassional user of ubuntu on IRC so not sure if I am violating a rule. We are brainstorming possibilities using  Ubuntu software. Is that something we should do somewhere else?
[19:42] <Kaffer> This si Ubuntu 10.10
[19:42] <B0g4r7> Kaffer, you can try holding down shift as you boot to access the grub menu.  From there remove the "quiet" boot arg to see the kernel messages.
[19:43] <guntbert> _cb: well this channel is for support only, please consider #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:43] <Kaffer> b0g4r7> It stalls once in around 20 boots
[19:44] <h00k> Kaffer: please answer the questions 1) Whatcard do you have 2) try the link that was given to you
[19:44] <Kaffer> Intel graphics chipset netbook
[19:45] <w30> Kaffer, Ubuntu might be lighter weight than XP on netbooks but you can go lighter still with special Ubuntu based distributions
[19:45] <Kaffer> Maybe this helps...If I make a Remastersys the Live session works perfect but when I install from the USB or DVD it stall at Hardware configuration
[19:47] <eenhoorn> hi all, what is the easiest/best way to upgrade from lucid to natty? I'm not a geek, please simpelest anwer? :)

[19:58] <bluefire> my laptop battery backup is lesser in ubuntu and more in windows, why is this so ?
[19:59] <hal> guys, what is the best way to enable/disable rc scripts for different runlevels. please?
[19:59] <hal> with 10.04, I mean
[19:59] <Kaffer> Respin? The original ISO works fine. But I want to change that blue Boot background. As soon as I replace that file the installation stalls at "hardware configuration" weird!!!
[19:59] <bluefire> ubuntu gives about 2 hours while windows gives more than 3 hours
[19:59] <bluefire> i am no able to figure out the reason for this
[19:59] <bil21al> hook : yes like this i want to unsubcribe its emails from ubunutu
[20:00] <h00k> bil21al: There should be a 'unsubscribe' for you on the right hand side.
[20:00] <bil21al> no itsnot
[20:00] <bil21al> no its not
[20:00] <lauratika> any one
[20:00] <bil21al> hook: no its not
[20:01] <Jordan_U> Kaffer: What file are you replacing and how?
[20:01] <Atreus> has anyone in here ever put ubuntu on a cr-48 chromebook?
[20:01] <h00k> bil21al: use h00k, those are zeroes, that way it will highlight me. Are you signed into Launchpad? Do you see your username on tie right hand side?
[20:01] <h00k> *the
[20:01] <lauratika> sorry got disconected
[20:01] <bil21al> yes i m login h00k;
[20:02] <bluefire> can anyone tell why battery backup in ubuntu is only 2 hours, while it is more on windows ?
[20:02] <w30> Kaffer, I messed with boot images a long time ago and found that at that boot stage only certain colors work, maybe something uses only certain colors?
[20:02] <h00k> bil21al: Do you see your name on that right hand side?
[20:02] <Kaffer> Jordan_U>  I made a complete backup of my system and edit the ISO with Master ISO to replace the blue background that Remastersys installs
[20:02] <bil21al> h00k: yes i can se my user name bil21al
[20:03] <lauratika> is there a cryptkeeper channel, anyone?
[20:03] <Kaffer> w30> Myne works perfectrly with full color but my installation doesn't work. I think it's coz I edit the ISO with Master ISO
[20:03] <xangua> !alis | lauratika
[20:04] <Jordan_U> Kaffer: So the iso created by Remastersys, before you edit he one file, works fine?
[20:04] <h00k> bil21al: can you leave that group? Alternatively, check in #launchpad, they may be able to help there.
[20:04] <bil21al> ok
[20:04] <Kaffer> No I edit the ISO after the backup is made
[20:05] <Jordan_U> Kaffer: Have you treid booting the Remastersys created iso before editing it with ISO master?
[20:06] <Kaffer> Yes then it woks fine...
[20:06] <Jordan_U> Kaffer: What is the file that you are changing?
[20:07] <lauratika> so no cryptkeeper channel
[20:07] <lauratika> hmmm
[20:07] <Kaffer> splash.png it's that ugly blue background with a half a face
[20:07] <w30> Kaffer, ok, you are probably into special software to not make a shambles of your iso. Ha, maybe Master ISO has an errata hidden some where.
[20:07] <h00k> Kaffer: where is that file located?
[20:08] <Kaffer> On the boot USB it's under /syslinux
[20:09] <sevith> i hate my life
[20:10] <Kaffer> Yea I think that Master ISO crews up the boot record
[20:10] <sevith> Why do i get errors. sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm says i need the depdencies python-compizconfig and compiz-config-settings-manager. When i sudo apt-get install them everything works fine. When i go back and try to sudo apt-get install cimple-ccsm it still says i need those packages E broken packages? WTF?!
[20:10] <hal> guys, what is the best way to enable/disable rc scripts for different runlevels on 10.04, please ?
[20:10] <sevith> hal sysv-rc-conf
[20:10] <sevith> ert.
[20:10] <Kaffer> If I just replace that file on the USB everything works fine. But I can't make a DVD
[20:10] <hal> sevith: do you mean rc.conf?
[20:11] <h00k> sevith: sudo apt-get update, try that before you install simple-ccsm
[20:11] <sevith> hal nvm Idk.
[20:11] <auronandace> !upstart | hal
[20:11] <sevith> h00k, I did this. it stillllll does the same thing
[20:12] <h00k> sevith: is it complaining about a different version you need? what version are you on?
[20:12] <Jordan_U> sevith: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm"?
[20:12] <sevith> Well it IS complaining about a version but when i install them it says im up-to-date with the newest version and should work hold on. ill pastebin it
[20:13] <andrew_> How can I get GNOME's network manager to function with my network connections? I have an active connection and have set up another one in the network manager, but it still says "device not managed"
[20:13] <sevith> Jordan_U, h00k , http://pastebin.com/2ptx45eX
[20:14] <sevith> But i KNOW those are in the repositores. I just installed them from the repos.
[20:14] <h00k> sevith: what version are you on?
[20:14] <sevith> h00k, 11.04
[20:15] <sevith> I even just updated my entire sources.list and STILL have the same issue.
[20:16] <sevith> h00k, Really it makes no sense.
[20:16] <charpy> test
[20:16] <wildbat> Polah, likly you have entry in /etc/network/interfaces, remove the affected devices from there
[20:16] <Kaffer> sevith> Change your server to i diffrent country
[20:16] <tank___> cleam or delete all your repo data then apt-get update to redownload it
[20:16] <Kaffer> That solved my problem
[20:17] <sevith> tank___, Did that.
[20:17] <sevith> Kaffer, Where can i change the country at..Synaptic settings or something?
[20:17] <tank___> yea under repository
[20:17] <plummerb> Hello folks.  I need help getting SNMP setup and configured.  Would that be here or another channel?
[20:18] <sevith> K Ill try but. I for some reason dont think it will do much but ill try
[20:18] <Kaffer> sevith> Go into software-centre     sources ---select diffrent country
[20:18] <cfedde> plummerb: more than just installing the packages?
[20:18] <w30> Kaffer, good point! mine too.
[20:19] <plummerb> Yes, configuring access control, setting it up so I can use Firewall Builder's network discovery feature.
[20:19] <w30> Kaffer, and days later swithed back and all was fine.
[20:20] <sevith> I hate computers sometimes.
[20:20] <cfedde> plummerb: there are several reasonable hits just googling for ubuntu snmpd.
[20:20] <Kaffer> w30> Mine too, I think servers are updating at that time or something
[20:20] <Dylan2236> Hello.
[20:20] <Bipul> can any one help me i cant able to connect my pendrive in my ubuntu10.10
[20:21] <ikonia> Bipul: what happens when you plug it in
[20:21] <Kaffer> Bipul> Does it work in Windows?
[20:21] <cfedde> plummerb: they mostly degenerate into: apt-get install snmpd snmp snmp-mibs-downloader, and then fixing /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and /etc/snmp.conf
[20:21] <Bipul> ikonia,  i can't see the pendrive icon or folder
[20:21] <Dylan2236> Is anyone here using BackTrack 4 R2?
 Yes, I have Googled a LOT.  I have all the snmp manuals printed out and I've read through them but they don't really explain HOW to configure it correctly.
[20:21] <executionist> when making a pppoe connection in ubuntu, where are the Vpi/Vci settings?
[20:21] <ikonia> Dylan2236: the people in #backtrack-linux can support you
[20:22] <Dylan2236> Thank you.
[20:22] <cfedde> plummerb: the operative word here is "correctly"
[20:22] <ikonia> Bipul: look in /var/log/messages do you see an entry when you plug the drive in ?
[20:22] <cfedde> plummerb: by default the snmp agent will answer to v2c requrests with community string "public"
[20:22] <plummerb> Yes, correctly.  The manuals give many of the arguments and directives but don't really explain hot to use them or what they do.
[20:23] <cfedde> plummerb: the comments in /etc/snmpd.conf are also reasonably helpful.  But there is so much policy going on that it is tough to know what is right for any given site.
[20:23] <Bipul> ikonia,  http://pastebin.com/psEusjkT
[20:24] <Kaffer> If I make a Complete backup with Remastersys will it work on other PC's
[20:24] <ikonia> Bipul: is this on a virtual machine ?
[20:24] <cfedde> plummerb: the easiest way to get started is to read through the comments in /etc/snmpd.conf and set the community string to something other than public.
 Well, here is an example that I am having trouble with.  When  Firewall Builder attempts to fetch the ARP table from the server it gets the error, Failed to fetch ARP table from <IP_ADDRESS> : SNMPSession: error: End of MIB
[20:25] <cfedde> plummerb: then try to talk to the agent using "snmpwalk -v2c -c public"
[20:25] <bafilius> I'm trying to find a great console I was using. It dropped down like guake but you could split the screen like with terminator. It had a lot of keybindings too. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
[20:25] <Bipul> no ubuntu is on my desktop
[20:25] <Bipul> yes but i do have installed vmware
[20:25] <ikonia> Bipul: ok, so the vbox stuff is not on this machine
[20:26] <cfedde> plummerb: ah! does the agent respond to simple requests?
[20:26] <executionist> help plz, when making a pppoe connection in ubuntu, where are the Vpi/Vci settings?
[20:26] <Bipul> yes i do have vbox installed
[20:26] <ikonia> Bipul: look at the errors on /dev/sda1 - it's getting remounted, what's going on with that ?
[20:26] <Gallo1> what's up all ?
[20:26] <Kaffer> Bipul> Is your USB ports working?
[20:27] <Kaffer> Bipul> If you plug in a cellphone or a other USB device does it pick it up?
 Yes.  I get a response from snmpwalk -c public -v1 <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:27] <ikonia> Bipul: plug the usb drive in and show me the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[20:27] <Gallo1> Can anyone running bt help with "iwconfig wlan0 essid "<name_of_router>" key "<encryption_key>" ----> Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8b2a)?
[20:28] <guntbert> !backtrack | Gallo1
[20:28] <cfedde> plummerb: and do you get a response when you use the public address?
[20:28] <Sterist> how do i set an applet to run as root?
[20:29] <Gallo1> ty
 Yep, from a client system I get standard response to this, snmpwalk -c public -v1 <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:29] <guntbert> Sterist: why do you want that?
[20:29] <Bipul> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/vqbFcAEq
[20:30] <Sterist> guntbert i have a temp monitor applet that complains about not being root
[20:30] <quentusrex> Anyone know if it is possible to upgrade ubuntu 11.04 to the beta or RC versions of 11.10 from the command line?
[20:30] <Gallo1> !backtrack
[20:30] <ikonia> Bipul: ok, so it doesn't see the pen drive at all, either the drive is dead or your usb ports are having an issue, I don't see any errors on usb in your syslog though
[20:30] <usr13> Sterist: an init script.
[20:30] <Gallo1> no bots ?
[20:30] <usr13> Sterist: Or sudo crontab -e
[20:30] <ikonia> Gallo1: the bot is ubottu - it's reponded to you 2 times
[20:30] <motophreaker> anyone know how to make a live usb drive and it not ask to install or boot live
[20:30] <Gallo1> file bot ?
[20:31] <Sterist> usr13 i dont know what to make of that command... are you asking what that returns?
[20:31] <ikonia> Gallo1: file bot ? what are you talking about
[20:31] <Bipul> i think driver has an issue what to do ?
[20:31] <cfedde> plummerb: then it seems like the agent is configred properly.
[20:31] <ikonia> Bipul: I don't
[20:31] <Gallo1> was asking if there was a file bot is all
[20:31] <ikonia> Gallo1: I have no idea what a file bot is
[20:31] <Gallo1> like for guides and such
[20:31] <cfedde> plummerb: do you get symbolic oid in the responses? or just a list of dotted numbers?
[20:31] <usr13> motophreaker: http://www.xpud.org/
[20:32] <motophreaker> thanks usr13
[20:32] <ikonia> Bipul: I don't think it's an issue as a.) it's a usb disk, there isn't really a driver b.) there is no usb errors in the log c.) there is no usb event in the log to show a device being even plugged in
[20:32] <motophreaker> :)
[20:32] <usr13> Sterist: Answering your question.
[20:32] <usr13> Sterist: But would have to know exactly what you want to do to give more specific answer.
[20:32] <Gallo1> kk, I'ma noob trying to switch to linux,  so yeah
[20:33] <DTSuser> I;m back
[20:33] <ikonia> Gallo1: if you're using backtrack try the channel #backtrack-linux
[20:34] <Gallo1> aight thanks, thought that was based off ubuntu anyways though
 Here is what I get.  http://pastebin.com/0xxki4su
[20:34] <ikonia> Gallo1: it is, but it's different, hence why we don't support it here
[20:34] <motophreaker> usr13: do you know of ubuntu live usb without it asking to install everytime?
[20:34] <muneeb> is it OK to have Ubuntu and Debian share same '/home' ?
[20:34] <MonkeyDust> Gallo1: start here, with this pretty girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qR591lh5Ow
[20:34] <cfedde> plummerb: pastebin is blocked from where I'm sitting.  go figure.
[20:34] <Gallo1> fair enough thanx a bunch
[20:35] <plummerb> Well that sucks.
[20:35] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: please don't post pointless videos like that
[20:35] <MonkeyDust> ikonia: it was a hint
[20:36] <cfedde> plummerb: when you run "snmpwalk -Of -v1 -cpublic your.host.name | grep ipNetToPhysicalTable" should be the arp table
 sent it to you direct.
[20:38] <Sterist> usr13 it's a hardware sensors applet
 No response from that command.
[20:38] <Sterist> usr13 complains about not being root when trying to read hdd temp
 I need to compile my MIB's?
[20:40] <cfedde> plummerb: if you want the symbolic values.
[20:41] <cfedde> the numeric oid are all that the remote manager cares about.
[20:41] <cfedde> but it looks like your list is truncated at just the system table.
[20:43] <motophreaker> help
[20:44] <alkafoo> motophreaker: ok
[20:44] <motophreaker> I want to make a live usb that skips the screen asking to try ubuntu or install ubuntu
[20:45] <motophreaker> does anyone know how to bypass that screen? Would I need to rebuild an ISO and remove that as a feature?
[20:45] <tsaknorris> moto use alternative iso and make script there?
[20:45] <motophreaker> :(
[20:46] <cfedde> plummerb: in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf the line that starts "rocommunity" decides what is visible with community string "public"
[20:46] <alkafoo> motophreaker: there's probably a delay value in a conf for whatever it is you're using to create the image
[20:46] <alkafoo> motophreaker: you could change that before or after
[20:47] <Slapshot> Hi I'm running 10.04 server on a headless box and up until now I had no problems. I rebooted the machine and now I cant access it through vnc or ssh but my router states that it is active. Can someone help me out with this problem?
[20:47] <motophreaker> the one I am asking about is the actual GTK screen. Not the terminal GRUB prompt... Does this make sence?
[20:48] <metalfan_> hi
 I setup my conf file with just the basics.  Community access is this:  rocommunity  public default .<IP_ADDRESS>.2.1.1
[20:48] <metalfan_> where can i look at the ubuntu kernel config that is currently running?
[20:48] <cfedde> plummerb: if you make a line "view plummerb included .1.3.6" then "rocommunity plummerb default -V plummerb"  you'll get the full tree if you use plummerb as the communtity string.
[20:48] <alkafoo> motophreaker: semantics
[20:48] <ikonia> metalfan_: what do you mean look at it, what aspect of it ?
[20:48] <alkafoo> Slapshot: make sure sshd is running
[20:48] <metalfan_> if the sctp option is included in the kernel or not
[20:49] <cfedde> plummerb: you'll also have to restart snmpd for the above to take effect.
[20:49] <alkafoo> metalfan_: if there is any sanity in the world, zcat /proc/config.gz
[20:49] <ikonia> you'll find it in the config.gz in your /boot directoy
[20:49] <Slapshot> alkfafoo I believe it runs on start up. I also dont think its the problem I can seem to ftp to the box or through any webui I have setup.
[20:49] <metalfan_> netstat says:   netstat: no support for `AF INET (tcp)' on this system.                   and the manpage for netstat says that the sctp kernel modul is needed
[20:49] <metalfan_> alkafoo, theres none left apparently
[20:49] <Slapshot> cant*
[20:50] <lebear> hi! any "definitive" guide on installing Win7 after Ubuntu 11.04 ? I see it's usually suggested that Win be installed first, will it be a pain the the a** not following that advice?
[20:50] <alkafoo> metalfan_: that's a shame
[20:51] <metalfan_> theres even no config in /boot/ for the kernels
[20:51] <w30> will rm -R /var/log/*.gz      just clean all my compressed log files?
[20:51] <metalfan_> like debian does it
[20:51] <alkafoo> lebear: you just have to install GRUB to the MBR again afterwards (or alternatively you can use Windows's bootloader and EasyBCD)
[20:51] <beached> hey there, Im having some trouble installing my graphics drivers
 so I could do this...  view systemstuff included .1.3.6  Then:  rocommunity public default -V systemstuff       ????
[20:51] <lebear> alkafoo,  oh alright, should be quite easy then.
[20:51] <beached> When I try to install the drivers it says I have to end xserver
[20:52] <alkafoo> lebear: yes, the important part is to realize that even if you can't access one of your two OSes immediately afterwards, it's a simple fix
[20:52] <j0nr> I am trying to get xserver to work on SERVER-EDITION, i.e. no desktop.... I think it is not working due to no working video drivers
[20:52] <cfedde> plummerb: I'd expect something like that to work.  Or to trim your rocommunity line down to just the .1.3.6 oid
[20:52] <j0nr> I have installed xserver-xorg
[20:52] <alkafoo> lebear: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[20:53] <plummerb> Oeky Dokey, I'll give that a shot.
[20:53] <j0nr> i have tried fglrx, xserver-xorg-video-radeon and xserver-xorg-video-ati and cant get xinit to work
[20:53] <lebear> perfect, that's what I was looking for. thank you :) too many not up to date guides etc out there
[20:53] <cfedde> plummerb: the key in the vew lines is to allow different groups of managers to have visibility of different oid subtrees.
[20:53] <j0nr> http://pastebin.com/hbcGAeej  current output when I run xinit
[20:53] <linxeh> I'd like to clone my system from a USB stick onto a new SATA SSD. Do I just need to dd the device over, or do I need to do something funny with partitions first ?
[20:54] <beached> how do I exit x server?
[20:54] <tsaknorris> linxeh use rsync
[20:54] <alkafoo> beached: what for?
[20:54] <beached> installing graphics drivers
[20:55] <alkafoo> beached: nvidia?
[20:55] <beached> yes sir
[20:55] <beached> when i do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[20:55] <paulw_> @beached you can go to another terminal by doing CTRL+ALT+F1-F7
[20:55] <beached> it exits it
[20:55] <alkafoo> beached: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia/
[20:56] <linxeh> tsaknorris: thats not a bad idea, though I assumed that dd would be faster
[20:56] <alkafoo> dd will work, but you'll have space left over
[20:56] <beached> alkafoo,  those dont work
[20:56] <linxeh> sure, but I can resize the partition afterwards
 Well, I get a lot more lines back from snmpwalk now...
[20:56] <alkafoo> linxeh: up to you
[20:56] <linxeh> hmmmm :)
[20:56] <linxeh> ok thanks
[20:57] <linxeh> lets see what happens
[20:57] <_cb> What do I need to set up an Ubuntu File Server that will server Ubuntu clients only (No windows) but that will have Active Directory like functionality (assign file shares rights by groups)
[20:57] <plummerb> Still no response from snmpwalk -Of -v1 -c public <IP_ADDRESS> | grep ipNetToPhysicalTable
[20:57] <Absinthius> any had any experience running ubuntu on an asus x52f or similar model laptop?
[20:57] <Absinthius> anyone*
[20:57] <cfedde> plummerb: that's proibably because your snmpwalk can't find the mib files.
[20:57] <Jordyec> buenas tardes amigos les comento que estoy intentando reparar un disco duro con particiones ntfs usando ntfsfix pero cuando le doy el comando me salen dos errores que dicen Mounting volume... Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument.
[20:57] <Jordyec> FAILED
[20:57] <Jordyec> Attempting to correct errors...  You should run chkdsk.
[20:57] <FloodBot1> Jordyec: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:57] <cfedde> probably too.,
[20:57] <genii-around> beached: Exit to login screen, then ctrl-alt-f1 and login. then sudo stop gdm. Then you can install the driver from there. When done, you sudo start gdm, logout, and then alt-f7 to return to login screen.
[20:57] <Jordyec> pueden ayudarme
[20:58] <beached> ill try it genii-around
[20:58] <Kartagis> hi
 Ok.  So I need to configure the MIB files.
[20:58] <julie101010> _cb, what you want is obviously SMB/CICS but it can not filter the OS...  you would need to manually specify which hosts to allow or block
[20:58] <cfedde> plummerb: if you want the symbolic oid then you need to add snmp-mibs-downloader package and comment out the mib: line in /etc/snmp/snmp.conf (note no "d")
[20:59] <alkafoo> Kartagis: hi
 Yes, I already commented out that line to see if that did anything.
[20:59] <prohacker> hi
[21:00] <yeats> !es | Jordyec
[21:01] <DTSuser> How can I set gksudo nautilus permanently? I want to browse as root without eroors
[21:01] <plummerb> If there a man for the MIB files?
[21:01] <_cb> julie101010 maybe I am going about this the wrong way. I imagine organizations running on Ubuntu servers use those servers to centralize, secure and manage files. How do they do it?
[21:01] <alkafoo> Jordyec: you can chkdsk from a Windows install disc, or other Windows-oriented boot disc
[21:01] <Kartagis> I have a 10.04 server, and I run git to commit code. when I use Tab completion to complete git options, I get backslashes at the end of the switch, meaning a space, and then I get "fatal: remote part of refspec is not a valid name in 6.x-1.x ". any ideas? I also run two computers to access the server I run git on, and this problem occurs on one of them
[21:01] <Kartagis> s/run/use
[21:01] <neilperry> hello, is there anyways to get my term to be one of the tab in geddit?
[21:02] <alkafoo> neilperry: with certain window managers you can group windows togethers as tabs
[21:02] <neilperry> or anyone know ifi  can run python in nano?
[21:02] <alkafoo> neilperry: really it sounds like you should learn how to use the editor Vim
[21:02] <neilperry> thanks alkafoo
[21:02] <alkafoo> or Emacs =P
[21:03] <julie101010> _cb, designing an enterprise network takes a lot of planning and a whole network team, it simply can't be guessed that simply on IRC
[21:03] <alkafoo> neilperry: they both run in a terminal, and make short work of doing anything
[21:03] <neilperry> alkafoo:  i have used vim some but got used in nano. but reading some online guide to help learn py and it suggest gedit.  shouldnt matter at all right?
[21:03] <backtracky> Am I able to install backtrack like i can ubuntu since it's ubuntu based?
[21:03] <yeats> Kartagis: you might want to ask in #git
[21:03] <alkafoo> neilperry: no it shouldn't
[21:04] <neilperry> ok thanks
[21:04] <alkafoo> neilperry: gedit is just GNOME's generic editor is all
[21:04] <Myrtti> backtracky: we don't support backtrack...
[21:04] <Kartagis> yeats: #git sent me here
[21:04] <alkafoo> backtracky: it'll probably be quite similar to install
[21:04] <backtracky> ah, ok. thasnks
[21:04] <alkafoo> backtracky: you can get all the same utilities backtrack has with Ubuntu, however, or even any other distro
[21:04] <neilperry> backtracky:  its pretty much the same. you should try blackbuntu aswell.    i find it better than backtrack imo
[21:04] <DTSuser> Can anyone help me. I'm trying to get an IP address from a MAC address
[21:04] <alkafoo> it's just a preconfigured, precompiled set of tools and configurations
[21:04] <yeats> Kartagis: fair enough, though it sounds like a git issue, not necessarily an ubuntu issue
[21:05] <cfedde> plummerb: sorry. walked away.  the mib files have documentation inside them.
[21:05] <K4k> What is the equivalent directory to /etc/pki/tls/certs in Ubuntu 10.04.3?
[21:05] <neilperry> have some tunes folks   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UelcANHJkzo&feature=autoplay&list=PL9A836042AF45BBD8&lf=rellist&playnext=9
[21:05] <ikonia> K4k: for what application
[21:05] <Myrtti> DTSuser: eh, what exactly are you trying to do?
[21:05] <K4k> ikonia: openldap
[21:06] <julie101010> DTSuser, there is no translation between a mac and IP address...   the DHCP server is what assigns the IP address and would know what is assigned
[21:06] <Jordyec> thanks friends
[21:06] <ikonia> K4k: there slapd.conf should show where it's looking for certs
[21:06] <K4k> ikonia: thank you
[21:06] <DTSuser> Damm,
[21:07] <K4k> ikonia: I don't appear to have that file anywhere...
[21:07] <_cb> julie101010  I have designed and implemented Active Directory networks and trying to find out what, similar tools, there are in Linux. I thought LDAP would do it. Unfortunatelly not.
[21:07] <ikonia> K4k: then how have you configured openldap
[21:07] <tomodachi> _cb: what features of active directort do you want? central authentication?
[21:07] <K4k> ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication
[21:07] <Myrtti> DTSuser: mac address is just something that identifies a network interface theoretically as unique
[21:08] <_cb> tomodachi the one that I am most interested in is in the ability to centralize data and restrict file access based on groups
[21:08] <Viktator> Hey, anyone knows whats going on here, when i surf, using chromium, and mouse3-click a link, focues changes to another program window
[21:08] <ikonia> K4k: are you trying to configure the client or server ?
[21:08] <K4k> client
[21:09] <K4k> ikonia: I already have a server set up. I'm normally doing this with Redhat though :-(
[21:09] <DTSuser> I want to hack my wi-fi access point. It takes my IPS years to come out. I want to change settings but don't have access
[21:09] <tomodachi> _cb: well there is a the open ldap project, and redhat has the directory389  project
[21:09] <ikonia> K4k: so this is just the client to connect to the redhat server ?
[21:09] <K4k> ikonia: correct
[21:10] <tomodachi> _cb: you will probably want samba though for most stuff, check it out. Also central storage with cifs and linux is i dont know. for a lot of users, not really that good. what about storing stuff on a portal instead? , storage in its classical sence is a dying breed anyway.
[21:10] <ikonia> K4k: I don't have an ubuntu client here to look at, I'm just reading that wiki
 MIBs are loaded from /usr/share/snmp/mibs/  by default?
[21:11] <goltoof> 5 bad blocks found
[21:11] <julie101010> DTSuser, that doesn't tell us why you need to get an IP address from a MAC address
[21:11] <tomodachi> _cb: we use dekiwiki as a corporate intranet / sharepoint kind of thing. Very good and also supports ldap  /active directory so you can centrally manage access
[21:11] <goltoof> what next?
[21:11] <K4k> ikonia: actually, wouldn't the ldap.conf tell ldap where to look for certs?
[21:11] <goltoof> does badblocks fix them automatically
[21:11] <ikonia> K4k: I would have expected that, yes
[21:12] <DTSuser> julie101010> I want to check my wi-fi phone's IP address
[21:12] <K4k> ikonia: well lookie there, completely glazed over that...
[21:12] <ikonia> K4k: oh, it is ther ?
[21:12] <ikonia> ther
[21:12] <ikonia> there
[21:12] <julie101010> DTSuser, your router might show it
[21:12] <K4k> ikonia: yes, just commented out
[21:12] <K4k> :-p
[21:12] <Slapshot> Hi, I'm running 10.04 Server and my processes refuse to run on boot. Whenever I enable my init.d processes to start at boot they refuse to oblige.
[21:12] <plouffe> is it possible to completely disable the numerical switch (Num-Key) on my keyboard?
[21:12] <ikonia> K4k: mega, good find
[21:13] <K4k> ikonia: /etc/ssl/certs if you're curious

[21:13] <executionist|2> I have this weird problem, when I switch windows my pppoe connection dc's, what could be causing this?
[21:13] <DTSuser> julie101010> I have the IP address but not the password. I want to change the password and some settings
[21:14] <aden-pc3> hi
[21:14] <io> DTSuser: if it's your router, why don't you have the password?
[21:15] <io> !aircrack > DTSuser
[21:15] <DTSuser> io> I'm not allowed to access it. ISP property. But they take forever to come out.
[21:15] <aden-pc3> can you help me to change the password of my computer
[21:15] <DTSuser> io> I tried Aircrack but it doesn't work
[21:16] <io> aden-pc3: open a !Terminal and use $ passwd
[21:16] <io> DTSuser: then you're not using it correctly
[21:16] <bingopajama> i need some help unzipping a file into an existing folder
[21:16] <alkafoo> bingopajama: -d

[21:16] <anli_> Do I have to write two iptable rules for one tcp forwarding?
[21:16] <alkafoo> hassan6: what about it?
[21:17] <bingopajama> i do not have privilege?
[21:17] <hassan6> rebooted
[21:17] <hassan6> installed it
[21:17] <alkafoo> bingopajama: then you don't have privilege
[21:17] <hassan6> screen just goes blank
[21:17] <bingopajama> how do i get it?
[21:17] <DTSuser> io> I get to the stage where I tried to disconnect my other PC but then nothing happens to get the password
[21:17] <io> bingopajama: $ unzip something.zip /folder/
[21:17] <alkafoo> hassan6: what's your graphics device?
[21:17] <genii-around> bingopajama: sudo unzip filename -d /wherever
[21:18] <bingopajama> ok thanks i think i did that
[21:18] <io> DTSuser: I'm sorry but I've got no further information, you could try their IRC channel for more support
[21:18] <bingopajama> where do zip file get downloaded to?
[21:19] <DTSuser> Where can I find their channel?
[21:19] <genii-around> bingopajama: If you don't tell it -d /where/you/want   then in the directory you ran the command
[21:19] <io> DTSuser: I don't know off the top of my head, check their website
[21:20] <bingopajama> yeah?
[21:20] <DTSuser> io> Do I have to download that password BIG file to use with aircrack?
[21:20] <Slapshot> Hi, I'm running 10.04 Server and my processes refuse to run on boot. Whenever I enable my init.d processes to start at boot they refuse to oblige.
[21:20] <Sterist> are there still bugs with 64bit installs of ubuntu?
[21:20] <simius> Is it safe to make a symbolic link to a folder in /var/www to a folder in my home directory?
[21:21] <julie101010> simius, I do that kind of link all the time...  what matters most are the permissions you set on it
[21:22] <alkafoo> (or don't change)
[21:22] <alkafoo> Sterist: bugs?
[21:23] <Sterist> alkafoo one of my CPU cores will run at 100% for a while and nothing but the mouse will respond til it finishes
[21:23] <plouffe> I keep hitting the damn num-key by accident on this new keyboard, and I don't need numlock EVER. How can I disable that key for good and just use the pageup/down keys instead of the numbers.
[21:24] <episteme> plouffe: remove from keyboard
[21:24] <Sterist> alkafoo i just finished doing all my preferences after reinstalling and this has been going on the entire time. none of this happened on the 32bit install
[21:24] <plouffe> I wish it had never been put there
[21:25] <SubCool> could someone assist me fix grub.
[21:26] <Sterist> are there still bugs with 64bit installs of ubuntu?
[21:26] <pr0ton_> how do i add the flash PPA?
[21:26] <ikonia> Sterist: not more/less than 32bit
[21:26] <ikonia> pr0ton_: flash ppa ?
[21:26] <pr0ton_> it gives me some public key not verified thing, how do i get rid of
[21:26] <zykotick9_> Slapshot, FYI Lucid was the first to switch to Upstart vs init.d startup scripts (but using init.d should work, as far as in know)  Good luck.
[21:26] <pr0ton_> adobe flash, launchpad PPA
[21:26] <robertzaccour> There's a watermark on the bottom right of the screen that says "AMD Unsupported hardware" after installing FGLRX driver. How do I make the water mark go away?
[21:26] <ikonia> pr0ton_: I didn't know there was one
[21:27] <executionist> zz, damn. I keep getting dc when I dialed a pppoe connection from ubuntu. Dc every 30 seconds. any clues?
[21:27] <Sterist> ikonia do you know of a way i can troubleshoot whats causing my CPU to hang? the system monitor shows nothing consuming CPU but itsself when 1 of 2 cores is running 100%
[21:27] <pr0ton_> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[21:27] <pr0ton_> it adds some APT
[21:27] <goltoof> any way to fix bad blocks automatically? Mark them as unusable?
[21:27] <pr0ton_> APT for Ubuntu, 10.04+
[21:27] <ikonia> Sterist: open a termina, and top "top" - then press "1" to show both cpu cores
[21:27] <pr0ton_> that option
[21:27] <goltoof> Sterist:  top
[21:28] <ikonia> Sterist: look what's eating the cpu
[21:28] <Strav> Hi. I'm having the following issues with unity's launcher: 1. for menu items created with alacarte and added to the launcher, I get inconsistent behavior when opening a new instance of the application, somtimes it gets a new icon sometimes it's bound to the launcher (what I'd expect). 2. Still for menu items created with alacarte, it's sometimes difficult to include them as a launcher's element (i.e.: sometimes, dragging them into the
[21:28] <Strav> launcher does not work, they seem to be added but the next time you open your launcher, they're gone). 3. if I manually edit the settings of a .desktop file included in the launcher, the launcher icon associated to the .desktop disappears. Can anyone refer me to the proper launchpad bugs for these, or does anyone have any suggestions for correcting this? (number 1. is especially getting on my nerves because of it's inconsistency)
[21:28] <hassan6> lubuntu help needed pls
[21:28] <danielc> Hi there, there is a issue with the automouting of the windows partition in Oneiric that seems to affect some people.
[21:28] <ikonia> hassan6: just ask a question
[21:29] <ikonia> danielc: discussion on 11.10 in the #ubuntu+1 channel
[21:29] <Strav> danielc: by curiosity, which automouting scheme are you talking about?
[21:29] <danielc> Ops... thanks, ikonia.
[21:29] <danielc> Strav, the usual. Not the autofs, just plain fstab.
[21:29] <hassan6> installed using mini iso 32 bit.after installation  it shows ubuntu logo(not lubuntu) and then the screen just goes blank. tried xubuntu yesterday and it worked fine
[21:30]  * Strav fears for this precious autofs configs
[21:30] <danielc> :)
[21:30] <robertzaccour> after installing the AMD FGLRX driver there's now a watermark at the lower right that says "AMD Unsupported hardware". How do I make it go away?
[21:30] <DTSuser> Aircrack-ng doesn't handshake...What could be the problem?
[21:30] <ikonia> robertzaccour: buy supported hardware
[21:31] <Webonaute> how I get partition size on ubuntu?
[21:31] <Strav> danielc: fstab problems. ish, that sucks. For myself I just pray for the next lts, AT LAST a bug fix release.
[21:31] <alkafoo> robertzaccour: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI_Catalyst#Radeon_HD_6870_and_fglrx_10.10
[21:31] <ikonia> Webonaute: if you open the partition tool (gparted_ you can see it
[21:31] <alkafoo> Webonaute: df -h
[21:31] <robertzaccour> ikonia, Its supported, it was in the driver updates even
[21:31] <hassan6> installed lubuntu  using mini iso 32 bit.after installation  it shows ubuntu logo(not lubuntu) and then the screen just goes blank. tried xubuntu yesterday and it worked fine
[21:31] <ikonia> robertzaccour: and yet it says on your screen, unsupported
[21:31] <Strav> is there a chan dedicated to unity's bug (I'd expect there's one given their insane amount)
[21:31] <rebba> is it a problem for Windoze to have a swap partition before the MSR? (sda1=EFISYS sda2=ext2BOOT sda3=swap sda4=MSR sda5=C: sda6=ext4 sda7=ext4 sda8=...)
[21:32] <zykotick9_> Webonaute, you can find the drive sizes using "sudo fdisk -l" to find the partition sizes you'll probably have to mount them, then "df -h"
[21:32] <ikonia> rebba: it's called "windows" please ask for windows support in ##windows channel
[21:32] <robertzaccour> ikonia, yet its in the updates that are supported and maintained
[21:32] <alkafoo>    rebba it shouldn't be, but I wouldn't put it past it
[21:32] <rebba> ikonia: windows gave a BSOD
[21:33] <robertzaccour> alkafoo, I have Ubuntu
[21:33] <alkafoo> robertzaccour: irrelevant
[21:33] <Jekyll> hi guys, i have a question, i installed ubuntu 10.04 and find that my opt directory is missing, will this affect the os in anyway? can i just recreate it?
[21:33] <ikonia> rebba: support for windows is in the ##windows channel
[21:33] <ikonia> Jekyll: nothing is in /opt by default
[21:33] <pr0ton_> how do i download the latest deb file for flash?
[21:33] <alkafoo> Jekyll: nothing is broken until it is
[21:33] <xangua> pr0ton_:  adobe.com
[21:33] <alkafoo> pr0ton_: search for 'flash' in your package manager
[21:34] <Jekyll> ikonia: so i can just make the directory again?
[21:34] <ikonia> Jekyll: yup
[21:34] <pr0ton_> alkafoo, thats not the latest
[21:34] <xangua> or just install from repo: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer pr0ton_
[21:34] <alkafoo> Jekyll: if anything ever needs the directory, it will be made on its own
[21:34] <pr0ton_> xangua, adobe.com asks me to install add an APT
[21:34] <Jekyll> ikonia: cool thanks:)
[21:34] <Strav> Jekyll: just wait until they deprecate /etc/ and put everything in /opt
[21:34] <alkafoo> pr0ton_: it's the latest that developers have vetted
[21:34] <pr0ton_> and there is some issue with it, that gives a public key error
[21:34] <ikonia> Strav: please don't be silly, he's asking a reasonable question
[21:34] <Jekyll> strav : will do
[21:34] <pr0ton_> how do i add it to keychain?
[21:34] <mah454> Hello ...
[21:34] <ikonia> Jekyll: I assume you know Strav is joking ?
[21:34] <hassan6> ikonia:installed lubuntu using mini iso 32 bit.after installation  it shows ubuntu logo(not lubuntu) and then the screen just goes blank. tried xubuntu yesterday and it worked fine
[21:34] <Jekyll> lol
[21:35] <xangua> pr0ton_ no idea what you just said :S
[21:35] <pr0ton_> xangua, if you visit adobe.com to download flash, it'll ask you to add a repo source
[21:35] <Strav> ikonia: just joking, in the bottom of my heart I like change for the sake of change.
[21:35] <pr0ton_> but when you update do apt-get update or whatever
[21:35] <mah454> I cannot run "Revenge Of The Titans" . How can i fix this problem ? http://pastebin.com/5PrCcG0p .
[21:35] <pr0ton_> it says, that the public key is missing or something
[21:36] <Strav> anyways, unity bugs anyone? Somewhere I can seriously discuss those?
[21:36] <xangua> pr0ton_ well what were you expecting¿ yum¿¿
[21:36] <xangua> !yum
[21:36] <alkafoo> mah454: did you install with a .deb?
[21:36] <johughes> Dev question here: I'm running 11.04 x86_64. I have a [32-bit compiled] application trying to dlopen a 32-bit shared library. The runtime linker is giving me "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32". What could be wrong?
[21:37] <mah454> alkafoo, no i Download and run this from source .tar.gz
[21:37] <alkafoo> mah454: you should use the .deb version
[21:38] <robertzaccour> alkafoo, It didn't work. it said not found and other stuff
[21:39] <zykotick9_> johughes, be sure you have ia32-libs installed, if it's a specific/non-standard 32bit library checkout the getlibs script to install 32bit libraries on 64bit OS.  Good luck.
[21:40] <alkafoo> robertzaccour: then you'll have to adjust the script
[21:40] <Webonaute> ty
[21:40] <robertzaccour> alkafoo, how do I do that?
[21:41] <johughes> zykotick9_, thanks, I have ia32-libs installed, and I've checked everything with ldd to make sure it can resolve all of the dynamic dependencies
[21:41] <alkafoo> robertzaccour: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22amd%20unsupported%20hardware%22%20site%3Aubuntuforums.org
[21:42] <johughes> zykotick9_: I was just wondering if there were any known issue with dlopen()'ing a 32-bit lib on a 64-bit OS
[21:42] <Viktator> Hey, anyone knows whats going on here, when i surf, using chromium, and mouse3-click a link, focues changes to another program window..something to do with compiz?
[21:42] <zykotick9_> johughes, sorry i don't even know what dlopen is.  Good luck.
[21:43] <MisterCrazy8> I have a bit of a problem. I moved my usr directory to an external drive. In fstab I mistakenly mounted the drive with nosuid. Now I can't use sudo or su. I can't edit the fstab entry. When I manage to open it I can't do so as root and it therefore is read-only.  I a Google Cr-48 notebook which I have dual booted with both Chrome OS and Ubuntu. It doesn't use grub. I do not think I can boot with a LiveUSB so I know of no way to
[21:43] <ikonia> MisterCrazy8: that's is a terrible idea, keep /usr on local disk
[21:43] <ikonia> MisterCrazy8: it should use grub also
[21:43] <YankDownUnder> MisterCrazy8, Boot with the livecd and re-edit the fstab mate
[21:44] <rebba> MisterCrazy8: start up ubuntu in single user mode
[21:44] <MisterCrazy8> I can't use a live CD.
[21:44] <MisterCrazy8> rebba What do you mean?
[21:45] <lebear> speaking of partitions, I just got a new comp and am about to set up a fresh install. is a swap partition really necessary nowadays?
[21:45] <Webonaute> what I have to check if fdisk show 30% free space and when I try to do a svn update with root user. it said disk space full?
[21:45] <HeGuru> lebear: you can't hibernate without one
[21:45] <ikonia> MisterCrazy8: why can't you use a live cd ?
[21:46] <lebear> HeGuru, hm alright. what's an appropriate size then? got 4 gigs of ram and a 500gig hdd
[21:46] <ikonia> MisterCrazy8: use grub to boot into single user mode, use a livecd, or a liveusb, to edit it
[21:46] <HeGuru> lebear: you need atleast the amount of RAM, I use 1.5-2 x ram usually
[21:46] <w30> lebear, I think hibernate or suspend needs swap
[21:47] <rebba> MisterCrazy8: add "single" to your normal kernel boot flags.
[21:47] <alkafoo> lebear: 4GB will be fine
[21:47] <lebear> HeavyMetal, ah that's a waste of space just for hib :/ it's been i while since I did this, so.. 6 gig swap, like... 5 for \ and whatever i need for \home ? all primary except swap ofc
[21:47] <alkafoo> and useful
[21:48] <wunderkin> hi, i'm having a heck of a time on linux going from 2.6.32 to 2.6.35.. it reverted to using sd device and works, i can't seem to get xen-blkfront module installed into the ramdisk.. am i missing something? i assume it is better to use the xen drivers? we have software that references xvd devices so i was hoping to use same device if possible.. and efficient.. i've tried adding xen-blkfront to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and doing update-ini
[21:48] <johnzorn> .
[21:48] <alkafoo> lebear: you _can_ hibernate without a swap partition, but I wouldn't personally
[21:48] <alkafoo> lebear: 6 gig swap?
[21:48] <lebear> alkafoo, yeah RAM*1.5
[21:48] <johnzorn> is the battery life problem of 11.04 going to be fixed in the next version
[21:49] <alkafoo> lebear: no forget that
[21:49] <alkafoo> lebear: that "rule" is from the 1940s
[21:49] <lebear> lol alright.. times 1 then? :D
[21:49] <alkafoo> lebear: yes or less, but I'd go with times 1 in your case
[21:50] <alkafoo> unless you're going to be doing big media editing, 4GB is _a lot_ of RAM
[21:50] <alkafoo> you could arguably not even use swap for just everyday use
[21:50] <K4k> johnzorn: I don't know what the official plan is but I'm using 11.10 Beta1 on my netbook and I haven't noticed a huge change in battery life from 11.04 to 11.10
[21:50] <tiktalik> 4gb isn't much if you're going to be playing minecraft, though!
[21:50] <alkafoo> (not that I'd recommend that)
[21:50]  * tiktalik laughs
[21:50] <fhtagn> by mistake I installed the 32bit version instead of the 64bit, in my 64bit laptop. I am in physics and do some computing. Am I missing too much by not using the 64bit version?
[21:50] <tiktalik> fhtagn: Not really. 32 bit is fine.
[21:51] <lebear> okay.. and the \ mount  is just for the system right? so I should be fine with 5 or so? (all programs and so on being installed on \home)
[21:51] <K4k> fhtagn: how much memory do you have in your system?
[21:51] <alkafoo> fhtagn: there's no reason to not use the 64-bit version
[21:51] <paladinlaw> any nvidia expert? my resolution is stuck at 640x480.
[21:51] <HeGuru> lebear: programs are installed in /usr
[21:51] <russellw> tiktalik, but that's not true if you're doing computational physics
[21:51] <alkafoo> paladinlaw: nvidia-settings
[21:51] <russellw> in that case you want to make full use of the hardware
[21:52] <paladinlaw> alkafoo: max 640x480 there
[21:52] <lebear> I never tried Minecraft, heard it's popular though.. haven't played a game in 5 years.. ;)
[21:52] <tiktalik> cthulu fhtagn!
[21:52] <Webonaute> minecraft is adictif. dont start to play at it
[21:52] <Webonaute> adictiv*
[21:52] <tiktalik> Play minecraft.
[21:52] <tiktalik> It's great.
[21:52] <Webonaute> yeah its too greate
[21:52] <Webonaute> great*
[21:53] <lebear> HeGuru, aha right, got it backwards
[21:53] <Bipul> Any Astrologer here
[21:53] <alkafoo> I'm an adult, my game addiction genes are wron out
[21:53] <alkafoo> worn
[21:53] <HeGuru> !ot
[21:53] <fhtagn> K4k: 4 or 6 gb (actually it is a friend's computer)
[21:53] <alkafoo> Bipul: #astrologers
[21:53] <Bipul> alkafoo,  that's not the channel for astrology
[21:53] <russellw> fhtagn, you definitely want 64 bit
[21:54] <fhtagn> K4k: 4gb it seems
[21:54] <fhtagn> but http://lockergnome.net/questions/126952/why-is-ubuntu-32-bit-version-recommended-over-64-bit-version
[21:54] <alkafoo> Bipul: you asked for an astrologer, not astrology
[21:54] <froq> does my laptop run slower since the battery is dead?
[21:54] <alkafoo> fhtagn: but nothing
[21:54] <Bipul> ok give me the link for astrologers
[21:54] <lebear> Westie, thanx, that's why I quit gaming.. highly addictive personality :)
[21:54] <xangua> !alis | Bipul
[21:55] <fhtagn> okay.. ty for feedback =)
[21:55] <MisterCrazy8> Sorry for the delay. The Cr-48 has no optical drive.
[21:55] <K4k> fhtagn: You will not have access to more than about 3.5GB of RAM in 32bit Ubuntu. I can't speak to the statement that performance is lost in mathmatical calculation, though I would imagine it would be an issue if you were dealing with extremely large numbers due to the smaller addres space available.
[21:55] <paladinlaw> any nvidia expert? my resolution is stuck at 640x480.
[21:56] <xangua> !pae | K4k fhtagn
[21:56] <alkafoo> paladinlaw: what driver are you using?
[21:56] <paladinlaw> alkafoo: 280.13
[21:56] <alkafoo> there's no reason to not use 64-bit if your processor supports it, the end
[21:57] <zykotick9_> alkafoo, +1
[21:57] <K4k> xangua: oh, thank you! I had forgotten about PAE kernels
[21:57] <zykotick9_> K4k, FYI PAE means a 3-6% slowdown of your system...
[21:57] <fhtagn> ubottu: thank you
[21:58] <fhtagn> xD lol
[21:58] <szal> paladinlaw: installed from where?
[21:58] <fhtagn> Turing fail
[21:58] <Jordan_U> MisterCrazy8: Can it boot from USB?
[21:58] <K4k> zykotick9_: I haven't used a 32bit system in ages... :shrug:
[21:58] <MisterCrazy8> doubtful with the bios that it has
[21:58] <hmekh> when i boot from the 11.04 livecd and refresh synaptic package manager, the synaptic window disappears. dmesg says something about "Out of memory: Kill process" blah blah blah. is this normal?
[21:58] <zykotick9_> K4k, nor have I ;)
[21:58] <Jordan_U> MisterCrazy8: How do you choose between Ubuntu and ChromeOS at boot?
[21:58] <paladinlaw> szal: downloaded from nvidia's website. already tryied "Additional drivers".. same results
[21:59] <fhtagn> if I do decide to keep the 32bits, do I gain anything for the laptop being a 64 bit one?
[21:59] <alkafoo> it's just a question of whether you want to use your 2011 era hardware in a fashion optimized for an eight-year-old technology (amd64) or a twenty-six-year-old technology (i386)
[21:59] <Jordan_U> hmekh: How much RAM do you have?
[21:59] <hmekh> 512MB
[21:59] <alkafoo> fhtagn: it's just a question of whether you want to use your 2011 era hardware in a fashion optimized for an eight-year-old technology (amd64) or a twenty-six-year-old technology (i386)
[21:59] <fhtagn> xangua: thank you, saw the '!pawe | K4k fhtagn' awesome # and bot and people =)
[22:00] <Jordan_U> hmekh: Then that's normal. You'll have a better time when you're not running from a LiveCD but 512 MiB is still not very much RAM.
[22:00] <K4k> ikonia: I finally got LDAP working btw. Follow the wiki + had to add "TLS_REQCERT allow" to the ldap.conf because we're using our own internal CA. Probably not the best way to solve the issue since it could potentially pose a security issue but at least it works for now.
[22:00] <ikonia> K4k: that sounds a fine way to work,
[22:01] <paladinlaw> szal: what can i do?
[22:01] <szal> paladinlaw: did you follow the installation instructions?
[22:01] <hmekh> now i want to ask something like "well what's a useful livecd then" or "what is booting to the cd supposed to demonstrate"
[22:02] <hmekh> dunno where i'm going with this
[22:02] <paladinlaw> szal: yes. everything is installed but my max resolution is 640x480. without the driver i can have up to 1280x720.
[22:02] <MisterCrazy8> I don't. to switch to chrome from Ubuntu I use sudo cgpt add -i 6 -P 0 -S 0 /dev/sda then sudo reboot and to switch otherwise sudo cgpt add -i 6 -P 5 -S 1 /dev/sda  then sudo reboot.
[22:03] <ikonia> MisterCrazy8: how did you install ubuntu
[22:03] <Lithos84> fhtagn: This may inform you better (^_^) : http://ur1.ca/52tuh
[22:04] <MisterCrazy8> ikonia: something similar to http://cr-48.wikispaces.com/Install+Ubuntu but not exactly.
[22:04] <adac> in fstab, how do i have to enter a samba share so i can write on this share? (on server site it is set up correctly)
[22:05] <MisterCrazy8> If no solution I am capable of restarting the entire process
[22:05] <ikonia> MisterCrazy8: that maybe worth while
[22:06] <ikonia> MisterCrazy8: that install process is bascially hardcoding prebuilt ubuntu onto your machine
[22:06] <yeats> hmekh: it will be hard to judge the quality of a live CD with that amount of RAM
[22:06] <MisterCrazy8> ikona: I noticed. That irked me
[22:07] <alkafoo> it should be okay, but the fancy graphics acceleration stuff probably won't work
[22:07] <alkafoo> course it probably wouldn't work even if you installed to the HD, though
[22:07] <johnzorn> K4k: ok thanks for the headsup
[22:07] <alkafoo> unless you somehow have a proper graphics card and that little RAM
[22:09] <vacho> guys

[22:11] <tortho> Hi, have to select ubuntu 2d to get window menues and the main menu in ubuntu 11.10 any hints?
[22:11] <hallgeirg> hi guys, can anyone help me set up my ubuntu so that i can access my files on my windows7 media-pc? - the files I need to share are on NTFS disks in my ubuntu-box. I have tried now for several day, and would really appreciate help.
[22:12] <ubun> Hey guys. I have a question. Can i add a internal HD to an existing system. and what are the risks?
[22:12] <alkafoo> tortho: hints about what
[22:12] <xangua> !oneiric | tortho
[22:12] <ikonia> ubun: very simple
[22:12] <fhtagn> ty Lithos84
[22:12] <Lithos84> fhtagn: You're welcome.
[22:13] <tortho> alkafoo, about what can be the issue.. is it anything well known?
[22:13] <ubun> ikonia: just add it?
[22:13] <paladinlaw> any nvidia expert? my resolution is stuck at 640x480.
[22:13] <ikonia> ubun: pretty much
[22:14] <chimp> Something really strange has happened after I turned my laptop back on: cd ~/ && echo "foo" >> bar (This gives permission denied????)
[22:14] <hmekh> i tried the livecd on a machine with 2GB RAM, but then that gave me errors because i used a usb dvd drive. is that also normal?
[22:14] <ubun> ikonia: what about the pins. the master, slave stuff? what do i do with that?
[22:14] <ikonia> ubun: treat it as normal, that's not really something ubuntu treats different than normal
[22:14] <LocoenelCoco> where can i read empathy logs on ubuntu 11.04
[22:14] <LocoenelCoco> ?
[22:15] <Jordan_U> chimp: Turned your laptop back on after doing what?
[22:15] <ubun> ikonia: well i really dont know whats what so. i going to have to google that  i guess
[22:15] <hallgeirg> hi guys, can anyone help me set up my ubuntu so that i can access my files on my windows7 media-pc? - the files I need to share are on NTFS disks in my ubuntu-box. I have tried now for several day, and would really appreciate help.
[22:15] <Ccy> Familiar with SMBIOS or DMI ?
[22:15] <chimp> Jordan_U: After coming back from the office. Nothing strange
[22:15] <ikonia> ubun: or try the ##hardware channel
[22:15] <chimp> irssi just gave me this error "[#ubuntu] Home directory /home/chimp not ours."
[22:15] <chimp> Wtf?
[22:15] <ubun> Ikonia: cool thanks
[22:16] <ikonia> chimp: control the langauge
[22:16] <ikonia> chimp: it's a permissions issue, look at the permissions on /home/chimp and the user you are running irssi as
[22:16] <chimp> ikonia: Sorry, I didn't realise acrynomns were a problem

[22:16] <chimp> ahhh
[22:17] <Ccy> Familiar with SMBIOS or DMI ?
[22:17] <Jordan_U> chimp: ls -ld $HOME
[22:17] <chimp> actually /home/chimp has indeed been set to user 1016
[22:17] <chimp> Any idea how that could have happened?
[22:17] <ikonia> chimp: user error, deleting the wrong user ?
[22:17] <ikonia> chimp: set it correctly and I'm sure it will be fine
[22:18] <fhtagn> do I need to set something up to use 32 bits apps in 64 bits ubuntu? http://goo.gl/BWrHw this makes me think so =/
[22:18] <ikonia> fhtagn: if you download them out of the ubuntu repos, it will pull in the dependencies for you
[22:18] <chimp> Yep. That fixed things.
[22:18] <chimp> Not sure how it happened though. I didn't delete any users, or run any chown
[22:18] <djskidd> list
[22:18] <fhtagn> nice.
[22:19] <chimp> Cheers for the help
[22:19] <djskidd> woops
[22:19] <Jordan_U> fhtagn: Yes, but needing to run 32 bit applcations (that aren't already packaged to deal with the fact that they are 32 bit like flash) is rare.
[22:21] <edwardthefma> i need help editing a file in ect

[22:23] <LocoenelCoco> where can i find empathy logs on ubuntu 11.04?
[22:24] <rebba> lahwran: probably not, but just to check: grep "640x480" /etc/X11/xorg*
[22:24] <Jordan_U> BTL: Please file a bug report (if one hasn't already been filed).
[22:24] <lahwran> oh okay, I'll get right on it

[22:24] <hallgeirg> hi guys, can anyone help me set up my ubuntu so that i can access my files on my windows7 media-pc? - the files I need to share are on NTFS disks in my ubuntu-box. I have tried now for several day, and would really appreciate help. I have tried following the guides for samba, and I am getting quite desperate.
[22:25] <BTL> Jordan_U: Ok, which package would this be filed under? Unity?
[22:25] <yeats> LocoenelCoco: try ~/.gnome2/Empathy/logs
[22:25] <w30> paladinlaw, have you got another monitor to substitute for trial?
[22:25] <paladinlaw> w30: yes
[22:25] <LocoenelCoco> I dont have that folder yeats
[22:25] <Jordan_U> hallgeirg: How have you tried to access the files so far? What happened when you tried? Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"?
[22:25] <LocoenelCoco> already tried that
[22:25] <paladinlaw> w30: or no.. it doesnt have dvi
[22:25] <paladinlaw> w30: only vga
[22:26] <w30> paladinlaw, just a thought sigh*
[22:26] <paladinlaw> w30: just i try with vga?
[22:26] <yeats> LocoenelCoco: you don't have .gnome2 directory?
[22:26] <hallgeirg> Jordan_U: I have tried to access them in browsing from my windows box.. I can ping the ubuntubox, but cant see it..
[22:27] <Jordan_U> hallgeirg: Ahh, I misunderstood your question.
[22:27] <LocoenelCoco> yeats,  yeah i do
[22:27] <LocoenelCoco> but not a empathy directory yeats
[22:27] <hallgeirg> Jordan_U: ok, do you have any idea on how to fix my problem then?
[22:28] <Jordan_U> hallgeirg: Right click the directory you want to share and select "Sharing Options". Enable sharing of the directory.

[22:31] <Jordan_U> !details | SubCool
[22:31] <rebba> SubCool: me too, congrats!
[22:31] <SubCool> Jordan_U, not funny
[22:31] <SubCool> rebba, **cheers**
[22:31] <paladinlaw> w30: thx
[22:31] <paladinlaw> w30: ok thx :D
[22:32] <w30> paladinlaw, pastebin it; maybe some one else will look at it for you
[22:32] <paladinlaw> k sure
[22:32] <SubCool> I have a box, 500gb, Kubuntu, win7. and another partition i recently deleted which appearently hosted GRUB. I have done nearly everything every normal grub fix help says..
[22:32] <Jordan_U> SubCool: I didn't intend it to be. If you want help you'll need to give a more detailed description of your problem.
[22:32] <SubCool> i was working with a couple guys last night, buti t got late and i was having issues.
[22:33] <SubCool> Jordan_U, ya, i get that- but its easier just to ask for help in the topic and then explain.
[22:33] <ikonia> SubCool: which partition did you delete
[22:33] <Bucaneiro> play stereo files as mono is important
[22:35] <SubCool> ikonia, a third one with linux on it. Now when i boot, i get a "cannot find partition , grub-rescue>"
[22:35] <paladinlaw> can someone analyze my xorg.conf file? my max resolution is 640x480. file: http://pastebin.com/uNviLCZy
[22:35] <ikonia> SubCool: so you'll need to apply a new boot loader then
[22:36] <Jordan_U> SubCool: Follow this guide to install KUbuntu's grub to the mbr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot
[22:36] <ikonia> SubCool: either re-apply the micrsoft one from the windows cd (the guys in ##windows can explain this if you don't know how to do it)
[22:36] <SubCool> got me at this point.
[22:36] <SubCool> ya, i just tried the Chroot i think
[22:36] <ikonia> Jordan_U: it won't work as he won't have /etc for the grub configs
[22:36] <Jordan_U> ikonia: He still has a full KUbuntu install.
[22:37] <ikonia> SubCool: you've deleted linux where the grub config is, so you either need a.) a linux install b.) a non-grub boot loader
[22:37] <SubCool> i had two linux's on here
[22:37] <ikonia> Jordan_U: he said he'd deleted the linux partition (which if grub config is missing, that means /etc is gone)
[22:37] <SubCool> i deleted one
[22:37] <ikonia> SubCool: which one did you delete ?
[22:37] <SubCool> originaly i had two kubuntu's and win 7
[22:37] <SubCool> now i have one of each
[22:37] <ikonia> ok, so Jordan_U's is spot on then, sorry Jordan_U
[22:38] <SubCool> ive tried this one- it doesnt work
[22:38] <ikonia> SubCool: it will
[22:38] <Jordan_U> ikonia: Np :)
[22:38] <SubCool> i just tried it
[22:38] <ikonia> SubCool: or you can boot from a kubuntu livecd and re-apply grub to point at your new/current kubuntu enviornment
[22:39] <SubCool> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /mnt
[22:39] <SubCool> chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
[22:39] <LocoenelCoco> yeats, found it, its o ~/.local/share/TpLogger/logs
[22:40] <Jordan_U> SubCool: You're using a 32 bit LiveCD. Do you have a 64 bit liveCD you can use?
[22:40] <Phr3d13> is there anything in the repositories or anywhere that lets us Ubuntu users stream audio/video from torrents?
[22:40] <SubCool> the install should be 32bit, - ugh. No - i dont have a 64 bit.
[22:40] <tiktalik> Are there any terminal music players?
[22:41] <jrib> tiktalik: many... try mpd, moc, mplayer...
[22:41] <SubCool> how can i tell which i need?
[22:41] <Jordan_U> Phr3d13: Streaming is not compatible with how bittorrent works. What are you actually trying to be able to do?
[22:42] <Jordan_U> SubCool: Your install is 64 bit, that is what that error means.
[22:42] <w30> paladinlaw, my xorg.conf is http://pastebin.com/wJvkzTUS
[22:42] <SubCool> Phr3d13, use XMBC or whatever its called
[22:42] <Jordan_U> SubCool: What liveCD is this (specific distro and verison)?
[22:42] <rhizmoe> how can i cause alt/ctrl-space to bring up the "run application" windowlet thingy? like spotlight/quicksilver on osx, basically..
[22:42] <SubCool> kubuntu 11.04
[22:42] <zeec8> Gnome Do
[22:42] <SubCool> Jordan_U,
[22:43] <SubCool> every time i tried to create a 64bit LiveUSB it would crash..
[22:43] <rhizmoe> Phr3d13: streaming torrents do not exist yet, though it's being worked on (and has been for at least a few years)
[22:43] <SubCool> rhizmoe, gotta be complicated...
[22:43] <SubCool> talk about timing and swarm..
[22:43] <Phr3d13> i saw that the windows version of utorrent supports torrent streaming
[22:43] <Jordan_U> SubCool: OK. Can you pastebin the output of "mount" and "sudo blkid"?
[22:43] <Enissay> Hi guys, here's my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11248493
[22:43] <rhizmoe> indeed. it's a protocol thing.
[22:44] <SubCool> Jordan_U, sure.
[22:44] <rhizmoe> Phr3d13: is it streaming the torrents, or is it letting you view files whose chunks have been downloaded in a particular order, or after a certain point of completion?
[22:44] <Phr3d13> afaik its streaming the torrent
[22:44] <marko-_--> i know this is not an ubuntu related question but i'll form it that way so yeah... is it okay if i leave my laptop that has ubuntu running on all night? I need it because of the alarm clock
[22:45] <rhizmoe> afaik isn't really a good answer
[22:45] <jrib> marko-_--: why wouldn't it be...
[22:45] <ikonia> marko-_--: then don't ask if you no it's not ubuntu related
[22:45] <BrandonBolton> marko-_--, I wouldn't recommend it unless you have lots of money for replacement batteries over time.
[22:46] <marko-_--> i'd just do it today
[22:46] <rhizmoe> http://torrentfreak.com/utorrent-adds-video-streaming-support-091217/
[22:46] <SubCool> Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/688687
[22:46] <marko-_--> i mean tonight
[22:46] <rhizmoe> that's 2009, which tells me it's not all that.
[22:46] <hallgeirg> ok, guys, new approach. I will pay anyone who can help me with my network (the end result beeing that it works) 20$ - please help me
[22:46] <MonkeyDust> marko-_--: i never shut down my ubuntu laptop
[22:46] <jrib> hallgeirg: ask an actual question...
[22:46] <marko-_--> MonkeyDust, but do you hibernate it or something?
[22:46] <MonkeyDust> marko-_--: no
[22:47] <SubCool> i use to view half of mytorrent which werent completed too- but whatever..
[22:47] <marko-_--> okay, thanks
[22:47] <hallgeirg> jrib: i tried.. I need to configure my network so I can access my files from my windowsbox in the same network. I feel i have tried everything
[22:47] <jrib> !samba > hallgeirg
[22:48] <w30> marko-_--, a 500 dollar + alarmclock?  kinda like using a computer to charge batteries you can but why ?
[22:48] <MonkeyDust> hallgeirg: the ip addresses need to be in the same range
[22:48] <SubCool> ops
[22:48] <ikonia> SubCool: what ?
[22:48] <hallgeirg> jrib: I have tried getting samba to work
[22:48] <SubCool> nvm
[22:48] <jrib> hallgeirg: you need to be more specific
[22:49] <hallgeirg> MonkeyDust: they are  197 and 196
[22:49] <MonkeyDust> hallgeirg: and the rest of the ip address?
[22:49] <SubCool> so y r there 3 floodbots?
[22:49] <ikonia> SubCool: does it matter ?
[22:49] <hallgeirg> jrib: when I rightclick and try to share i get this message: net usershare' returned error 255: [2011/09/14 00:49:28.307051,  0] param/loadparm.c:7504(lp_set_enum_parm)

[22:50] <jrib> hallgeirg: there you go.  That's something you can troubleshoot
[22:50] <SubCool> ikonia, cant, i chat too much
[22:50] <ikonia> SubCool: please try
[22:50] <Jordan_U> SubCool: sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot/ /dev/sda
[22:50] <hallgeirg> jrib: :)
[22:50] <MonkeyDust> hallgeirg: is iptables enabled? does it block incoming traffic?
[22:51] <jrib> hallgeirg: so now put that in a pastebin and ask the question :)
[22:52] <hallgeirg> when i try to share a folder from nautilus i get this error-message: http://pastebin.com/QSneuvGw can anyone please help me figure out how to get it to work?

[22:54] <Pyro_Killer> something starting with a....
[22:54] <Pyro_Killer> this is in installing the OS
[22:54] <jrib> hallgeirg: perfect.  If you google the last line in your pastebin you get quite a few hits.  The first one is bug 128548.  I would start there

[22:58] <plummerb> I'm back.  I need help configuring SNMP.
[23:00] <plummerb> I'm back.  I need help configuring SNMP.  Is this the right place??????????
[23:00] <ikonia> plummerb: just ask the actual questions
[23:02] <plummerb> Ok.  When I set the community Access Control to "rocommunity  public default .<IP_ADDRESS>.2.1.1" SNMP queries do not respond correctly.  For example, I can't get the network interfaces.  But when I set it to "rocommunity  public default .1.3.6" the same query works.
[23:03] <ikonia> plummerb: you maybe setting too far down the tree for that query, the higher up settings allow that query
[23:04] <SubCool> Jordan_U, ya-- i saw that script and i lost it. Thanks.. im going to try that now aswell
[23:04] <plummerb> Ok.  What is a good resource for learning how the SNMP Access Control works?
[23:04] <ikonia> no idea
[23:04] <ikonia> google
[23:04] <plummerb> Because the man has nothing.
[23:04] <plummerb> I've been Googleing all day.  lol
[23:05] <plummerb> Can't find anything that covers how rocommunity arguments work or even what arguments are available.
