[05:18] <edbian> MxxC, oh really... lemme check something
[05:19] <blackbox> well I go under tools/create application short cut and have the desktop checkbox set when I hit ok it doesn't work?
[05:19] <edbian> thechris, I think your best bet is to get rt2870sta working, unfortunately I cannot find what package this is in
[05:19] <NotJimCarrey> ok, i'm using dd to mirror a 904Gb NTFS partition onto a new XFS partition. it's only copying at 20.1Mb/s, so it'll take about another 14 hours, and I'm using SATA to SATA
[05:19] <NotJimCarrey> any ideas on how to speed it up?
[05:19] <thechris> edbian: the usb key blinks regularly.  that doesn't really help me much
[05:19] <thechris> edbian: i'm probably just going to have to see if the 3rd party module compiles in 11.10
[05:19] <edbian> MxxC, sudo apt-get install firmware-b43legacy-installer   (is that what you originally ran?)
[05:19] <MxxC> NotJimCarrey: use larger blocks?
[05:20] <computer_> my sound has stopped working....what do i do?
[05:20] <edbian> thechris, Yes, I think that is rt2870sta
[05:20] <paulsomebody> blackbox: Simplify all our lives and just google it next time. It is what I have just did.  http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-create-desktop-shortcuts-for-websites-in-ubuntu-11-10-tip/
[05:20] <MxxC> edbian: yes, that's the command that gave me that error
[05:20] <NotJimCarrey> MxxC: how do i do that?
[05:20] <paulsomebody> blackbox: You are welcome, though.
[05:20] <edbian> MxxC, do you have multiverse enabled?
[05:20] <MxxC> yes
[05:21] <thechris> edbian: what is "sta"  "static?:
[05:21] <szal> NotJimCarrey: is that mirroring if you use dd?  dd doesn't copy files, it creates an image
[05:21] <edbian> thechris, IDK :
[05:21] <NotJimCarrey> ok, then what's the best way to move everything? just mv?
[05:22] <edbian> MxxC, I guarantee that firmware-b43legacy-installer is a package and it is in multiverse.  I think you don't have multiverse enabled if you're getting 'package not found'
[05:22] <szal> NotJimCarrey: I'd suggest to copy first, and if all is well, you can wipe the source files
[05:22] <kaushal> Hi
[05:22] <edbian> MxxC, this is ubuntu 11.10 right?
[05:22] <NotJimCarrey> ok, i'll do that then. but is there a specific way to mount the drives so that it copies faster?
[05:22] <MxxC> edbian: i didn't get "package not found" i got "[: 17: missing ]", the same error i get even durking dpkg-reconfigure firmware-b43legacy-installer
[05:22] <edbian> thechris, the blinking unfortuantely means very little
[05:23] <paulsomebody> !ask | kaushal
[05:23] <MxxC> edbian: yes, 11.10
[05:23] <NotJimCarrey> sorry, but haven't messed with that in several years
[05:23] <edbian> MxxC, 17:missing   huh
[05:23] <edbian> MxxC, googling
[05:23] <computer_> !sound
[05:23] <kaushal> paulsomebody: hi
[05:23] <kaushal> I am using Firefox 8.0+build1-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>, the memory usage and CPU Usage is pretty high. Any issue ?
[05:23] <MxxC> edbian: i'm experiencing teh same problem as 1st post in http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11433255&postcount=1
[05:23] <szal> NotJimCarrey: not sure, but I think NTFS is the bottleneck; fuse just isn't as performant as the Windows kernel NTFS driver
[05:23] <DrPenguin> firefox is a resource hog
[05:23] <DrPenguin> always has been
[05:23] <kaushal>  my system almost becomes unusable
[05:24] <szal> DrPenguin: nothing new
[05:24] <MxxC> edbian: and i followed all those instructions and tried manual commands as well..no luck
[05:24] <edbian> MxxC, reading..
[05:24] <NotJimCarrey> szal: that's why the new drive is XFS
[05:24] <szal> DrPenguin: it's a symptom of featuritis ;)
[05:24] <NotJimCarrey> it's for my media server
[05:24] <DrPenguin> szal: oh I know.. I use chromium
[05:24] <paulsomebody> kaushal: Try disabling extensions, this may help. Generally, in my experience, using Chromium is the easiest fix to Firefox memory issues. :)
[05:25] <edbian> MxxC, so firmware-b43-installer says to use legacy and firmware-b43legacy-installer says no device found
[05:25] <edbian> MxxC, ugh, bugs
[05:25] <thechris> edbian: and the  kernel module does not build
[05:25] <edbian> thechris, of course
[05:25] <edbian> :P
[05:25] <edbian> I'm not sure
[05:25] <MxxC> edbian: firmware-b43legacy-installer gives this strange 17: missing error...
[05:25] <szal> kaushal: solution 1: use a different browser..  solution 2: buy more RAM
[05:26] <edbian> MxxC, I think that means it cannot find a device for this firmware
[05:26] <MxxC> edbian: should i file a bug for that package?
[05:26] <edbian> MxxC, yes, I'm looking for one right now
[05:26] <edbian> MxxC, can you sudo modprobe b43   ??
[05:27] <NotJimCarrey> MxxC: know of a way to get a progress (bar/pct/etc) when using cp?
[05:27] <edbian> MxxC, wait
[05:27] <edbian> MxxC, sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[05:27] <MxxC> NotJimCarrey: no. try using clonezilla
[05:27] <NotJimCarrey> and i am looking it up, but so far no luck
[05:27] <MxxC> edbian: i did..didn't help
[05:28] <edbian> MxxC, run that and then the other command?
[05:28] <edbian> MxxC, as post 2 says?
[05:28] <MxxC> edbian: yes, tried that in that order. same thing
[05:28] <edbian> MxxC, well, the last post seems promising too
[05:28] <edbian> I'm not sure
[05:28] <edbian> this is a big and annoying bug
[05:28] <MxxC> edbian: tried that as well. :(
[05:28] <MxxC> no luck
[05:29] <edbian> MxxC, this is a BIG BUG  I suggest you file a bug report using the bug reporting tool in ubuntu

[05:30] <blackbox> I have an alias in a bash script file but when I try to echo the alias I cann't print it out? I tried echo $myalias but that didn't work I tried as well $(alias) that didn't work either
[05:32] <Blue1> blackbox: this may/may not help -- http://pkill-9.com/simple-annotated-bash-script-to-zap-a-user/
[05:33] <blackbox> no that is a simple script but it doesn't echo or printf an alias?
[05:34] <thechris> does anyone know what is required to fix an implicit declaration of a function
[05:34] <thechris> it prevents rt2870sta from compiling
[05:34] <DrPenguin> thechris: is this something you wrote?
[05:34] <Blue1> blackbox: you mean like a bash alias in .bash_aliases
[05:34] <thechris> DrPenguin: nope, its a kernel module
[05:35] <DrPenguin> thechris: ok… so im assuming your trying to build it and gcc is yelling at you
[05:35] <thechris> DrPenguin: yes, and apparently it is an error
[05:35] <thechris> DrPenguin: though it says "some warnings are being treated as errors"
[05:35] <DrPenguin> can you pastebin the c file its complaining about?
[05:36] <thechris> DrPenguin: i cannot
[05:36] <matt3940gmail> hi does any one know how to get ubuntu one to work with ubuntu 10,4 licid tls
[05:36] <matt_> .join #xbmc
[05:36] <DrPenguin> then I cant help you
[05:36] <matt_> hey
[05:36] <matt_> wtf
[05:36] <Albinoman887> there we go
[05:36] <Albinoman887> whats up everyone
[05:36] <thechris> DrPenguin: it does seem like someone is setting -Werror=... though
[05:36] <Albinoman887> getting excited for edit
[05:36] <DrPenguin> thechris: frankly, i dont care. if your not gonna show me it, then im not interested
[05:37] <blackbox> yes like if I say in my bash script alias name="nick"
[05:38] <blackbox> echo $name shows nothing should show value nick
[05:38] <DrPenguin> blackbox: you need to sett the name variable, thats not a variable
[05:39] <DrPenguin> just do name=nick
[05:39] <matt3940gmail> does any one know anything about ubuntu one
[05:39] <blackbox> what ? sett
[05:39] <DrPenguin> s/sett/set/
[05:40] <blackbox> o you mean declare a variable then have the alias point to that variable
[05:40] <DrPenguin> no!
[05:40] <DrPenguin> you dont use alias's as variables
[05:41] <blackbox> well , I was trying to make this script object orientated with alias myobject.string1=
[05:42] <balleyne> HTML5 video is working fine for the first user on my Ubuntu machine, but not for the second user or guest user. Same results when creating new profiles (works for first user, not second or guest), running in safe-mode. No add-ons installed (besides the default Ubuntu ones) for users without working HTML5... Chromium HTML5 video works fine for all users. Help?
[05:42] <blackbox> their has to be away to print out the value of an alias
[05:42] <DrPenguin> alias -p yourAlias
[05:42] <DrPenguin> right in the man page..
[05:43] <DrPenguin> so, you sir, are the lucky recipient of an RTFM yell
[05:43] <blackbox> yes but that list them all I kind of want to just echo the alias
[05:43] <DrPenguin> then use something like grep or cut to filter
[05:43] <blackbox> think I found it , I think if I use shopt -s expand_aliases
[05:45] <DrPenguin> i need to wear my RTFM shirt more often.
[05:47] <thechris> !implicit-function-declarations
[05:48] <DrPenguin> thechris: thats a C thing, not an ubuntu thing
[05:49] <xangua> balleyne: so by html5 you mean ogg/theora format¿
[05:51] <balleyne> xangua: having this problem with Theora and WebM HTML5 video
[05:51] <xangua> balleyne: have you installed extra codecs for chromium¿ chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
[05:53] <jamesw> hi.. would someone please help me get my java working? i've tried everything I can think of and googled a lot. Ubuntu 11.04 64bit. Intending to use sun-java latest (6)
[05:53] <balleyne> xangua: it works in Firefox for one user though, and Chromium for all users... will check that package
[05:54] <DrPenguin> jamesw: wel it would be nice if you told us what was wrong
[05:54] <jamesw> DrPenguin: when I go to any website using java it just says Missing Plugin or "java is not working" etc
[05:54] <brophat> isn't there an app called desktop when you click it all own windows will minimize?
[05:54] <jamesw> in chromium and firefox
[05:54] <xangua> balleyne: so it's firefox the one that doesn't work with¿¿
[05:55] <DrPenguin> jamesw: can we make sure java is working first? open a terminal.. can you type javac and have it spit at you a bunch of flags?
[05:55]  * xangua doesn't like to guess
[05:55] <jamesw> DrPenguin: yep javac spits out all the help
[05:56] <DrPenguin> ok.. thats a good sign.. you might be missing a java plugin for the browser
[05:56] <jamesw> $ java -version: - java version "1.6.0_26"
[05:56] <balleyne> xangua: I have two configured users on my machine: balleyne and heather. Works fine in FF for balleyne (even when creating a new FF profile), doesn't work for heather (even when creating a new FF profile) or for the guest user. Chromium works for all
[05:56] <mebigfatguy_> thats not the latest btw
[05:56] <balleyne> xangua: also tried safe mode, same results
[05:57] <mebigfatguy_> (java) 6.30 is
[05:57] <yvemath> well, that is a little bit of selfishness out there.
[05:57] <mebigfatguy_> java manual install: this is good (works for 6 too) http://www.shinephp.com/install-jdk-7-on-ubuntu/
[05:57] <matt3940gmail> yvemath: why is that
[05:57] <jamesw> mebigfatguy_: i am using latest from repo
[05:57] <jamesw> should i upgrade beyond latest in repo?
[05:57] <mebigfatguy_> jamesw, i see
[05:58] <jamesw> manually
[05:58] <xangua> balleyne: so both users use the same fx version¿ usgin downloaded version of firefox.com and other user the system install¿
[05:58] <yvemath> matt3940gmail: read what balleyne said, and match the nickname ff works properly with.
[05:58] <mebigfatguy_> sounds like ubuntu is removing sun jdk from repos at some point any way
[05:58] <mebigfatguy_> (plugin) at least
[05:58] <thechris> Does anyone know if ubuntu's gcc sets -Werror-implicit-function-declaration someplace?
[05:59] <thechris> I've been trying to install the rt2870 modules, and they don't build
[05:59] <DrPenguin> thechris: that has nothing to do with "ubuntus" gcc
[05:59] <DrPenguin> its the make file
[05:59] <thechris> There is a warning about implicit function declarations, which then becomes an error.
[05:59] <DrPenguin> thechris:  theres probably a "good" reason why the makers of the module set that to be an error, dont disable it
[05:59] <balleyne> xangua: system install, stock Ubuntu 11.10 FF 8.0
[05:59] <Vivekananda> hello everyone,I have dell inspiron 600m (no webcam) running lucid latest.Trying to install ipwebcam(an android market app to turn phone into webcam) and it requires v4l2loopback.Not able to install
[06:00] <thechris> I've tried to find the offending lines and remove them, but this hasn't worked./
[06:00] <zero> Hello, guys
[06:00] <r_tarandus> hihi.
[06:00] <jamesw> thank you, this guide is prettier http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-jdk-in.html
[06:00] <thechris> I'm assuming that if this option was meant to be set, then someone at ralink would have seen the issue.
[06:01] <thechris> Which makes me think the issue is with something in ubuntu's setup
[06:01] <DrPenguin> thechris no.. its meant to stop the compilation if your missing headers
[06:01] <DrPenguin> thecrhis nope, your wrong
[06:01] <matt3940gmail> Guest67304: hi
[06:01] <thechris> there are a lot of .o.cmd files, but I think these are generated by the makefile and not used by the makefile
[06:01] <Flatlined> thechris : Firmware?
[06:02] <Guest67304> Who knows the differences between SysV services and upstart service?
[06:02] <thechris> Flatlined: this is the rt2870sta kernel module
[06:02] <matt3940gmail> Guest67304: hi
[06:03] <thechris> the source is on a computer that doens't have internet access, which makes this a bit more difficult
[06:03] <Guest67304> matt3940gmail, hi
[06:03] <Tio90> I just installed Anjuta (IDE for c++) ,from deb package.. but i dont know where its located and i can't find it. help me
[06:04] <xangua> Tio90: type anjuta on the dash¿
[06:04] <balleyne> Tio90: `which anjuta`
[06:04] <balleyne> Tio90: are you trying to run Anjuta? Or find out where it's installed?
[06:05] <Guest67304> Anyone knows the differences between System-V and upstart service?
[06:05] <Tio90> balleyne: both
[06:05] <Flatlined> thechris : you need the firmware
[06:05] <Tio90> `which anjuta` dont give me any results
[06:06] <almoxarife> thechris:  You may be required to blacklist the in-tree rt2800usb driver to allow your device to be claimed by rt2870sta. http://wiki.debian.org/rt2870sta
[06:06] <Vivekananda> hello
[06:06] <balleyne> Tio90: typing that from the command line, right? if there's no results, that means it's not on the path... you could check in /opt, /usr/bin/, /usr/local/bin, you could 'dpkg --list | grep anjuta' to see the installation state
[06:06] <balleyne> not sure off the top of my head how to check a .deb file to see what location it's supposed to unpack to, but I'm sure that's possible too
[06:06] <matt3940gmail> hellow
[06:07] <Guest67304> As I know till now ubuntu didn't support vdsm which has already supported on redhat distribution, do you guys have some advice or suggestion?
[06:07] <almoxarife> balleyne: synaptic does it swell
[06:07] <Metroshica> I'm currently writing a bash script that creates a tarball, and I wasn to name it Archive(date).tgz, where date would be a timestamp. What would be the easiest way to timestamp something in a bash script?
[06:07] <blackbox> no luck is their any way to echo what an alias is pointing to?
[06:08] <blackbox> in bash
[06:08] <almoxarife> balleyne: synaptic does it swell,............. I take that back, only on 'installed' packages
[06:08] <DrPenguin> blackbox: use tools you already have.. like grep or cut
[06:10] <almoxarife> blackbox: what's the terminal method to do the equiv of opening a file by a text editor?
[06:10] <thechris> almoxarife: I can't build rt2870sta at the moment.  something sets a gcc option and I can't seem to unset it
[06:10] <DrPenguin> thechris: maybe you should find out what headers are missing?
[06:11] <almoxarife> thechris: let me see if I understand this, you have a laptop with builtin wifi?
[06:11] <blackbox> are you saying nano or something like Leafpad?
[06:11] <thechris> almoxarife: i have a working laptop with wifi, and a broken desktop with wifi
[06:11] <thechris> almoxarife: desktop with broken wifi
[06:12] <almoxarife> thechris: the rt... thing is usb?
[06:12] <thechris> almoxarife: the rt2870 modules appear to be needed, but they no longer build
[06:12] <thechris> yes usb
[06:13] <almoxarife> thechris: the desktop has wifi card or onboard?
[06:13] <Metroshica> I'm currently writing a bash script that creates a tarball, and I wasn to name it Archive(date).tgz, where date would be a timestamp. What would be the easiest way to timestamp something in a bash script?
[06:13] <thechris> desktop has the usb, laptop has internal
[06:13] <Tio90> i think i have just crushed the repository, how to get it back to default? coz my apt-get update give me 404 errors
[06:13] <thechris> almoxarife: desktop=usb=broken, laptop=internal=working
[06:13] <helli0n> hello all
[06:13] <DrPenguin> Metroshica: the date command?>
[06:14] <almoxarife> thechris: where are you wanting this usb to work? desktop I assume
[06:14] <almoxarife> thechris: the desktop has wifi card or onboard wifi?
[06:14] <Metroshica> DrPenguin, yes, I'm not too experienced with it in bash scripting though. Could you give me a good example of how I could name a tar output using the timestamp, or point me in the direction of a good article? My googling of the subject is coming up short
[06:15] <CarlFK> Metroshica: TIMESTAMP=$(date +%m_%d_%H_%M_%S)
[06:15] <DrPenguin> Metroshica: I could probably hack something together real quick… what do you want to include in the time stamp?
[06:15] <Metroshica> DrPenguin, I'd like the output of a tar command to contain it. So for example tar cvzf Example(date here).tgz /path/to/dir
[06:15] <CarlFK> Metroshica: that's from a script... I am guessing you want: mv foo.tgz $(date +%m_%d_%H_%M_%S)
[06:16] <thechris> almoxarife: the desktop will have the wifi usb adaptor that currenlty doesn't work
[06:16] <matt3940gmail> ok this sound stupid but to talk to someone you have ton type ther nick in every time you say something to them
[06:16] <almoxarife> thechris: the desktop has wifi card or onboard wifi?
[06:16] <DrPenguin> Metroshica: thats not te ansqer to my question, I want to know WHAT do you want to be in the timestamp.. like dd/mm/yy/_hh/mm or what?
[06:16] <Metroshica> CarlFK, yea, that could work as well, I'd like to know if it's possible to put it in the actual tar command, but if not I could use it in a mv command
[06:16] <thechris> matt3940gmail: most irc clients support tab completion.  eg ma[tab] will complete your name
[06:16] <almoxarife> thechris: it's a yes or no question
[06:16] <Metroshica> DrPenguin, ah ok, sorry, dd/mm/yy/_hh would be fine
[06:17] <CarlFK> Metroshica: yes - I was wondering why you wanted it in 2 steps
[06:17] <thechris> matt3940gmail: no, but it highlights the line on the receipients screen
[06:17] <DrPenguin> Metroshica: then you could just make a variable using the date command and feed that to tar as the parameter for the tarball name
[06:17] <thechris> matt3940gmail: that way your replies are less likely to get lost in the noise
[06:17] <CarlFK> Metroshica: what is your tar command now?
[06:17] <matt3940gmail> thechris: ok cool that helps
[06:17] <almoxarife> thechris: alrighty then, I will let you plink along
[06:18] <Metroshica> DrPenguin, exactly, and that's where I'm stuck. I'm embarassed but I don't know exactly how to feed in a bash variable to a tar command
[06:18] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: also might trigger an alert that a message is being directed to the user in their IRC client, when you mention their username
[06:18] <DrPenguin> Metroshica: VARIABLE=varcontents, tar czvf $VARIABLE dirToTar
[06:18] <Metroshica> CarlFK, it would be tar cvzf Something(date).tgz /path/to/dir
[06:18] <thechris> almoxarife: that wasn't a yes/no question.  i'll go with no = usb
[06:18] <Metroshica> DrPenguin, ah ok, is it that easy? didn't know that
[06:19] <Metroshica> DrPenguin, and then the carvontents, what would be the exact syntax using the date command?
[06:19] <Metroshica> DrPenguin, varcontents*
[06:19] <DrPenguin> Metroshica: something like VARIABLE=`date +%D_%H` would give you the date _ Hour
[06:19] <CarlFK> Metroshica: echo tar cvzf Something\($(date +%m_%d_%H_%M_%S)\).tgz /path/to/dir  => tar cvzf Something(12_30_00_19_35).tgz /path/to/dir
[06:20] <Metroshica> DrPenguin, CarlFK perfect, both of those commands will work fine, thanks for the help.
[06:21] <matt3940gmail> balleyne: do u use a linux machine only i am looking for a good windows emmulator
[06:22] <xuser1> hi:)
[06:22] <matt3940gmail> xuser1: hi
[06:22] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: I rarely use Windows, but VirtualBox is a FLOSS virtual machine that will let you run Windows inside a virtual machine inside Ubuntu. You can install VirtualBox from the Ubuntu Software Centre.
[06:23] <xuser1> can i move gnome 3 panel from top to bottom ?
[06:23] <xuser1> :-D
[06:23] <thechris> sweet, found where i could set the cflags in one of the make files
[06:23] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: or, you can check out Wine, which lets you run some Windows applications from GNU/Linux (rather than running the whole operating system, like with VirtualBox
[06:25] <Tio90> I have a problem when i updating cache, it stuck on 94% , i have chose the best repo server, whats wrong
[06:25] <matt3940gmail> balleyne: ok i will try that i have 3 programs that do not support linux i tryed wine but so far no luck i am out of my ellemt here in linux i was preety good with windows but after vista i begain to hate it
[06:25] <ipv6hermit> hi everybody, I'm trying to setup a DNS server under ubuntu, but I'm having trouble with some functionality named complains it can't modify or create files because the permissions are denied.   I checked and the permissions seem to be ok.  could it apparmor bothering me?
[06:27] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: ok, try VirtuaBox. Might take some effort to set up (you have to install Windows inside the virtual machine), but search the web for tutorials, and once you get it running you'll be able to run those programs inside the virtual machine no problem.
[06:28] <Tio90> balleyne : http://postimage.org/image/clm2e1mv1/
[06:29] <balleyne> Tio90: weird... what does your /etc/apt/sources.list file say? maybe there's an incorrect entry or something? not sure
[06:29] <mohsinhijazee> Just a quick question, Lenovo G570, how well it runs ubuntu? Any issues with Wifi, BlueTooth or Cam?
[06:29] <Octane> mohsinhijazee i think itll run beautifull
[06:29] <Octane> y
[06:29] <Octane> wifi bluetooth and cam work out of the box pretty much
[06:30] <thechris> hmm, seems that actually was an error.  guess my wifi is no longer supported
[06:30] <matt3940gmail> balleyne: ok i am now on a search for a windows os to give it i used vbon my windows maching so i kina know whats going on with it but in the fusteration a week ago i formatted my hd windows bye bye
[06:30] <thechris> Octane: oh the irony
[06:30] <mohsinhijazee> Octan you have been using? or any online list maintained by Ubuntu about compatibility?
[06:31] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: it's easier to reinstall anyways. Do you have a Windows install CD?
[06:31] <LogicallyDashing> I changed the root password. It said, "Password updated successfully". But I can't log in with it, and if I run passwd again, it doesn't ask for my current password.
[06:32] <Tio90> balleyne : btw i'm in ubuntu 10.04 , i saw this in sources.list " deb-src http://ubuntu.oss.eznetsols.org/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted " .. what is it?
[06:33] <matt3940gmail> no vista did not come with one but before i formatted i copped the whole dv to my ext hd so in might be able to recreate it from ther but i would like to find a free xp out ther some were
[06:34] <matt3940gmail> balleyne: sorry forgot to tag that one
[06:34] <balleyne> Tio90: not sure, restricted would be the proprietary/non-libre software section of lucid main I think, not sure if the location is a valid Ubuntu mirror or not. Is it similar to the other lines in the file?
[06:35] <Tio90> balleyne : http://pastebin.com/TuiQzBGu
[06:35] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: I prefer xp over vista myself
[06:37] <matt3940gmail> balleyne: ok one thing with ubuntu 10 . 4 how do i get it to stop asking for password every time i go to install something fromsoftware center
[06:37] <Tio90> always be a root?
[06:37] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: usually it remembers your password for at least a little while? like, 5 or 10 minutes at least, I think? I'm on 11.10 though.
[06:38] <balleyne> Tio90: I'm not sure, but that last line looks a little wonky, too many parts to it... might also make sense if you said it was failing at 94% (i.e. towards the end)?
[06:39] <Tio90> yeah it failed, incomplete update
[06:39] <matt3940gmail> balleyne: ok when you go to a diffren verision ex.10.4  to 11.10 will i loose all my data
[06:39] <balleyne> Tio90: I have separate lines for multiverse, universe and main restricted in my 11.10 sources.list...
[06:40] <MrHacks> Hey, guy. I think I touched something I shouldn't have.  During my oneric update, I kept seeing a message saying 'xset could not find display ""' so I went to a forum to see if it was some sort of error (on another computer, obviously) concerned it might be an error. It wasn't really, and someone had the idea of using "sudo xset dpms off" to fix the bug but at the end of the upgrade, this message showed up several times, so I type
[06:40] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: nope, upgrades are pretty smooth, but you can't skip versions (so you'd have to upgrade three times, 10.04 => 10.10 => 11.04 => 11.10)
[06:41] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: I started out with 6.06 for awhile, as the LTS in 2007, then went through a series of upgrades to catch up to the regular releases after a few months... probably worth it, unless you really need the stabilty of an LTS (12.04 is supposed to be an LTS anyways, I think)
[06:41] <DrPenguin> MrHacks: xset dpms off would just disable power management features for the monitor
[06:41] <Flannel> balleyne, matt3940gmail: you can go LTS to LTS, so you can upgrade directly from 10.04 to 12.04 (when it's out)
[06:42] <Tio90> so how may i solve this?
[06:42] <MrHacks> DrPenguin: How to I make the screen work like it did such that if I move the mouse around the backlight turns back on as well as the LCD?
[06:42] <balleyne> Flannel: good to know!
[06:42] <balleyne> Tio90: here's my sources.list: http://pastebin.com/fvqF403x
[06:42] <DrPenguin> MrHacks: turn dpms back on
[06:42] <paulsomebody> Hello, everyone.
[06:43] <balleyne> Tio90: if I were you, I'd backup your sources.list, then try to edit it and split out that security line into three separate lines, like mine
[06:43] <paulsomebody> I cannot switch computer off from the LightDM. What can be wrong?
[06:43] <matt3940gmail> Flannel: ok i am a total noob so do i go to ubuntu.com an down load a nre ver or is ther a gui some were i have not seen
[06:44] <MrHacks> DPMS was enabled, DrPenguin. the problem is I chaged something I shouldn't have I think. are you sure that 'sudo xset dpms on' will fix everything?
[06:44] <Vivekananda> Hello everyone ! cannot install v4l2loopback kernel module in lucid on a comp with no webcam.Any suggestions?
[06:45] <DrPenguin> MrHacks: how should I know? if you changed more than you just told me then Id have no idea how to fix ur issue
[06:45] <MrHacks> At one point, I though I could remedy it with 'sudo xset dpms standby' (assuming that standby means the same as hibernate)
[06:46] <Doodie> hi, how so i ping data of certain size like 1024 etc???
[06:46] <thechris> anyone know how to get an asus usb-n53 to work?
[06:46] <Flannel> matt3940gmail: What do you mean?  You download from ubuntu.com, yes.
[06:46] <DrPenguin> Doodie: RTFM! its right in pings manpage
[06:46] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: If you don't want to wait for 12.04 and want to go through 10.10 and 11.04 to 11.10, you would go to System > Administration > Update Manager I believe. You have to make sure that under System > Administration > Softwware Sources, it's set to notify of normal releases and not just LTS
[06:47] <Doodie> ok
[06:47] <thechris> I've gotten rt2870sta installed, but i don't have a wlan0 or ra0
[06:47] <DrPenguin> thechris: did you load the module?
[06:47] <DrPenguin> and did you actually build it right vs disablingg it failing when your missing headers?
[06:47] <balleyne> Tio90: like change the last line to http://pastebin.com/sp6nLERQ ?
[06:48] <thechris> there was something on google that said there was now support in the kernel for this, but didn't elaborate
[06:48] <thechris> rt2800usb doesn't work
[06:49] <matt3940gmail> Flannel: no installed off a live usb but yes i got the iso for the use from ubuntu.com
[06:49] <Flannel> matt3940gmail: then you're fine.  Don't need to do anything.
[06:49] <Flatlined> thechris : you need the firmware
[06:49] <thechris> Flatlined: as far as I can tell, i have it.
[06:49] <syddraf> Compiz Grid and Compiz Put are not recognizing any commands. Does anyone know of a way to fix this?
[06:50] <Doodie> DrPenguin, if i ping huge data to an address will that slowdown the internet speed of that address?
[06:50] <DrPenguin> Doodie: um.. what do you think?
[06:50] <DrPenguin> more data means your consuming more bandwidth..
[06:50] <Doodie> DrPenguin, i think yes
[06:51] <thechris> Flatlined: do you have any specific information about where to get the firmware, and what to do with it when I get it?
[06:51] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: ubuntu.com download is for new installs, Update Manager for upgrades
[06:52] <Flatlined> thechris : unplug the adaptor and post your "dmesg" to paste bin
[06:52] <thechris> Flatlined: i got the rt2860 firmware and the rt2870 firmware and placed both .bin files in /lib/firmware
[06:52] <thechris> Flatlined: agian, no internet access.  the dmesg is pretty short though
[06:52] <Flatlined> aptitude install firmware-ralink wireless-tools
[06:53] <SachinDey> where may I get these pakages "QtCore;QtGui;QtXml"
[06:53] <DrPenguin> SachinDey: in ubuntus repo?
[06:53] <thechris> Flatlined: "rtusb init --->"
[06:53] <SachinDey> there is no such packages DrPenguin
[06:53] <thechris> Flatlined: 'usbcore: registered new interface device rt2870"
[06:53] <DrPenguin> SachinDey: I doubt that
[06:54] <matt3940gmail> balleyne: ok now i see i checked for new uddates last night and it sayed i was up to date but i just looked and i was set on lts only so i am going to set it to normal
[06:54] <Flatlined> thechris : http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=firmware-ralink
[06:55] <Duker> Freshly installed apache, could only run sudo to install in admin account, does that mean the server will have root access? Trying to get everyone on a standard users home folder
[06:55] <balleyne> yep, then it will notify you about 10.10, upgrade will take a few hours for each though
[06:55] <Duker> everything*
[06:55] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: see message above for you
[06:56] <lining> wpoof
[06:56] <lining> 没仍
[06:56] <matt3940gmail> balleyne: it says 10.10 is available will the comp. shut down during or after the upgrade
[06:57] <Guest67304> Hi, guys. Who knows the differences between SysV services and upstart service?
[06:57] <clear`> how can i complete remove gnome-shell
[06:57] <lining> ？？？
[06:58] <tresk> Hi, my Ubuntu doesn't activate my wifi network anymore. Nevertheless, the card is listed in 'lspci' ?
[06:58] <lining> 211
[06:58] <Chr|s> been having some issues with my monitor going to sleep and wont wake back up did this to both ubuntu and xubuntu, anyone have any ideas?
[06:59] <syddraf> Is there a way to reset compiz to its defaults? purging and reinstalling did nothing.
[06:59] <mebigfatguy_> Chr|s, sure it's not just your monitor dying?
[06:59] <Chr|s> yeah Im pretty sure
[07:00] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: shut down after, it usually takes me 1.5 hours for the download portion and half an hour for the upgrade portion of the whole thing, give or take 20 minutes
[07:00] <tresk> fyi, the wifi card worked fine before. I guess, Ubuntu booted once without the card being installed. Maybe I have to rescann the hardware?
[07:00] <Chr|s> mebigfatguy_, had windows on it earlier today, worked fine. installed ubuntu and when the monitor goes to sleep, I have to manually restart the computer
[07:01] <balleyne> Guest67304: you've been trying a few times with that question, wish I could help. Have you tried any other IRC channels, maybe more specific to the question? It's possible that folks in #ubuntu right now don't know enough to help... *shrugs*
[07:01] <ok_wait> hey guys, i'm having a problem with the gnome-tweak-tool in oneiric. it only changes the window title font in the fonts tab. seems to be a bug, anyway i'm trying to 'workaround' this and was wondering if this is a normal looking ~/.fonts.conf file http://pastie.org/3094465
[07:01] <balleyne> matt3940gmail: gotta run, best of luck
[07:01] <matt3940gmail> balleyne: ok thanks
[07:01] <mebigfatguy_> Chr|s, k, i had that problem, my monitor died eventually
[07:02] <matt3940gmail> does any one know were i can download a free xp os from for dual booting
[07:02] <tresk> Is there a way to rescann the linux hardware and let Ubuntu reconfigure the wifi drivers?
[07:03] <Guest67304> balleyne, okey...thanks. :)
[07:05] <ok_wait> could one of you match your ~/fonts.conf file with this one http://pastie.org/3094465 and see if it's way off or similar?
[07:05] <ok_wait> ~/.fonts.conf
[07:11] <ok_wait> anybody?
[07:22] <ok_wait> is there a way to manually edit fonts configurations to do what gnome-tweak-tool isn't doing?
[07:22] <tresk> why I can't play Flash movies in Epiphany
[07:23] <DrPenguin> cause your missing flash?
[07:23] <tresk> But flash is installed.. works with firefox and Opera
[07:23] <DrPenguin> does epiphany say missing flash plugin?
[07:24] <spacebug-> ok_wait: to answers your first question. My config is different in that I use 'hintslight' instead of 'hintmedium' in section 'hintstyle'
[07:24] <tresk> yes it does?!
[07:24] <DrPenguin> ok then it doesnt see your plugin
[07:24] <tresk> isn't epiphany using the firefoy path?
[07:24] <ok_wait> thanks spacebug-
[07:24] <DrPenguin> why would it?
[07:25] <tresk> so I have to reinstall flash via software center?
[07:26] <almoxarife> tresk: firefox and opera see flash?
[07:27] <tresk> almostroot: yes they do
[07:27] <thechris> I'm having issues getting an ASUS USB-N53 to work in ubuntu 11.10
[07:27] <jerichowasahoax> I have a problem with my email server setup (on Lucid) - email addresses can receive things perfectly fine but Thunderbird gives error 10061 when I try to send. My GMail account sends fine so it's not my end. Anyone have any ideas?
[07:27] <jerichowasahoax> I'm using Postfix, if that matters
[07:27] <thechris> When using the rt2800usb modules, no AP's are listed, and scanning doesn't work
[07:27] <thechris> I have the current firmware installed.
[07:28] <thechris> I've patched and compiled the rt2870 kernel module
[07:28] <tresk> I reinstall 'flashplugin-installer <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu0.11.1'
[07:28] <almoxarife> tresk: then re-installing flash will just place flash where its already avail, what version of epiphany you using?
[07:28] <thechris> When I modprobe rt2870sta, I don't get any ra0 or wlan0.
[07:28] <tresk> almostroot: 3.0.4
[07:29] <thechris> I don't think the usbkey is detected when I use that module.
[07:29] <tresk> reinstalling flash package was unsuccessful
[07:29] <flexible> thechris, hey what is the chip of your wireless device?
[07:30] <gluesniffmonkey> matt3940gmail, not for dual booting but in a virtual machine: http://tinyurl.com/6m5u3pt
[07:30] <thechris> flexible: according the google "probably rt2800 or rt2870sta"
[07:30] <flexible> if it is the same as mine, or similar, you may have to compile from source like i do
[07:30] <thechris> flexible: so I'm guessing 2860 or 2870
[07:30] <flexible> is it USB or pci?
[07:30] <thechris> flexible: I've tried that, but thus far it hasn't worked.  I've patched the kernel module and built
[07:30] <gluesniffmonkey> The NIST machines work well in virtualbox
[07:30] <thechris> flexible: usb
[07:31] <flexible> did you blaclist rt2800pci and rt2800usb?
[07:31] <xonix> I putted a SD-Card into my card reader and paritioned the sd card but why can i not mount the devices dm-0p1? There not exist under /dev https://gist.github.com/1538478
[07:31] <thechris> flexible: yes
[07:31] <jerichowasahoax> ah, sending from Alpine on the server itself works, but not from the right host. This might be a problem.
[07:31] <spacebug-> ok_wait: now what did you mean gnome-tweak-tool did not set correctly?
[07:32] <matt3940gmail> gluesniffmonkey: cool thanks i will check that out
[07:32] <almoxarife> tresk: read and heed http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2011-May/msg00001.html
[07:32] <thechris> flexible: when you use rt2870sta, do you get more than "rtusb init --->" and "usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2870"?
[07:32] <thechris> I only get those two messages
[07:33] <imprint> I was advised to uninstall my adobe flash player from hulu tech support to reinstall a 32 bit wrapper, now my computer will not play any thing, nothing on youtube or crackle, what do I do?

[07:35] <imprint> I tried to reinstall flash from the software center and from adobe, nothing works
[07:35] <almoxarife> imprint: how did you install/remove what hulu told you to do? exactly
[07:35] <imprint> they had me do it from terminal

[07:37] <imprint> Monte, Dec-29 01:49 pm (PST):Hi John,
[07:37] <imprint> I apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately Hulu.com is not currently compatible with the 64bit alpha version of Flash for Linux. In Hulu Desktop, however, we do some special maneuverings to make it work. As a 64-bit Linux user, you can still use Hulu.com -- but you will need to install the wrapper 32-bit version of Flash. Also, try uninstalling you Flash Player and download version 10.3.

[07:44] <gluesniffmonkey> matt3940gmail, They are Windows Virtual Hard Disks. You will need wine in Ubuntu and WinRar to Unzip.
[07:45] <imprint> you want to see what happened, how do I explain without typing?

[07:46] <bobster> Hello fellow freedom seekers! If anyone can help me I would be most grateful. I am running 11.10 on my usb as I type, and I want to make it my main OS. I cannot see an icon on the desktop to Install it however.. and im stuck. Any advice would be fantastic!
[07:46] <almoxarife> imprint: you don't flood the channel, you don't give me links, you give me the info I asked for, like exactly what you did with the information you were given, can you do that or have you forgotten since you did it?
[07:47] <aBound> bobster, There's no icon shown on the top left that says: Install Ubuntu 11.10?
[07:47] <imprint> http://landofthefreeish.com/linux/howto-installing-flash-player-10-on-64-bit-linux/
[07:47] <matt3940gmail> gluesniffmonkey: ok it was talking it was only good up to 90 days but i think i can make it work
[07:47] <imprint> my computer is jammed up bad
[07:47] <imprint> never had a problem till now
[07:48] <bobster> @aBound - No mate, desktop is empty!
[07:49] <imprint> http://paste.ubuntu.com/787576/
[07:49] <aBound> bobster, Could be an incomplete installation from the flash drive. What did you use to install Ubuntu onto your flash drive. Startup disk creator, unetbootin or something else?
[07:49] <almoxarife> imprint: never had it till you made changes, care to share what changes were made without giving links to someone elses blurb about how to do it, you made the changes, I saw your paste.bin, perhaps someone else can help you
[07:50] <bobster> aBound, I used the one recommended on the ubuntu website, startup disk creator i think!
[07:50] <renc3> imprint: when you go on pastbin site.. you get a numeber... this number ls the part of the adress you give to your friends... they can use it in order to retrieve the infos you 'd put on "your" pastbinr
[07:50] <go9ers999> sud rm -rf /

[07:51] <go9ers999> sudo rm -rf /
[07:51] <go9ers999> please
[07:51] <DrPenguin> gtfo
[07:51] <DrPenguin> thats stupid and potentially harmful
[07:51] <aBound> bobster, Did you edit anything on start up creator if you remember.  I mean, the desktop interface that's Gnome 3
[07:58] <aBound> its_me, To install gnome-shell, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell.
[07:58] <DrPenguin> daft? rofl he must be british
[07:58] <aBound> its_me, Gnome-shell will replace gnome 2.
[07:59] <bobster> british?
[07:59] <bobster> you mean english
[07:59] <its_me> aBound: I already have Gnome 3 installed.
[07:59] <DrPenguin> isnt daft a british thing?
[07:59] <Orva> Just popping for quick question: how you disable global alt-bind to show window menu in global menu bar?
[07:59] <DrPenguin> whatever it is
[07:59] <Orva> kinda prevents using alt as modifier in all programs
[07:59] <its_me> aBound: My internet connection is dropping every now and then eversince I installed it
[07:59] <bobster> yeah it is, northern england
[08:00] <bobster> i apologise on behalf of the reprobates that make it onto the internet in my country.
[08:00] <Flannel> alright guys, it's taken care of, lets go ahead and move on :)
[08:00] <DrPenguin> yay!
[08:00] <aBound> its_me, Are you sure it's gnome-shell causing the connection to drop.  I've been having some issues with my Ubuntu box after upgrading to 11.10. Specifically, /var/run seems to have changed to /run, and some old scripts are still pointing there. Is this a familiar problem for anyone?

[08:01] <its_me> aBound: I have read many other people reporting the same, so...
[08:01] <aBound> its_me, A wireless-b router is known t drop a bunch of connections but than again other things as others using the Internet can drop a connection.
[08:01] <almoxarife> full moon tonight?
[08:01] <bobster> @aBound, looks like im going to have to give it another go with the usb install, thanks for the help
[08:02] <aBound> its_me, Interesting I haven't had a single issue with gnome-shell dropping my connection.
[08:02] <DrPenguin> bobster: try the universal pen driver installer
[08:02] <its_me> aBound: no, mine is a wired connection
[08:02] <Absolver> Not yet, almo.  :P
[08:02] <aBound> bobster, You can always give unetbootin a try.
[08:02] <its_me> aBound:  okay, I will contact my ISP and see...!
[08:02] <bobster> have a happy New Year everybody and keep up the good work!
[08:02] <aBound> its_me, HA! That reminds me ISP's doing maintenance too.
[08:02] <its_me> ooh, hmm..
[08:03] <aBound> its_me, My connection drops sometimes at midnight due to ISP maintenance.
[08:03] <jerichowasahoax> Absolver: RE: /var/run being moved
[08:03] <its_me> aBound:  mine's dropping all day and all night
[08:03] <jerichowasahoax> there might be a better fix out there but you could just make "/var/run" a symlink to "/run"
[08:03] <jerichowasahoax> or vice versa
[08:04] <aBound> its_me, Did you install it today and it kept dropping? Or a few days ago.
[08:04] <Absolver> Yeah, I'm thinking of that, but something tends to make my neckhairs stand a bit on end about doing it, for some reason. I faintly remember something about "Don't do this" being told me at some point.
[08:04] <its_me> aBound: it's been like a month
[08:05] <its_me> And I guess, I don;t really remember... my internet connection got slower eversince
[08:05] <aBound> its_me, Since you installed gnome-shell or since the net connection has been dropping?
[08:05] <Matrixiumn> hello
[08:05] <jerichowasahoax> Absolver: I always prepend my advice with disclaimers (unless explicitly told myself to do it at one point) for a reason.
[08:05] <jerichowasahoax> because somehow someone always has a better way
[08:05] <its_me> aBound: (since I installed Gnome3)
[08:05] <Absolver> Hee. ;)
[08:05] <aBound> its_me, A poor router can also drop the connection, you could try power-cycling the router.
[08:05] <aBound> Ahh...
[08:06] <its_me> you mean, resetting?
[08:06] <jerichowasahoax> Absolver: Also assuming the permissions on both the link and the actual folder are the same, nothing obviously wrong about that jumps out at me aside from possible standards-noncompliance
[08:06] <its_me> aBound: you mean, resetting?
[08:06] <Absolver> When it comes to routers, one of the primary reasons a router will drop connections is NAT table handling.
[08:06] <Absolver> Either because they time out, or because NAT table space runs out and the oldest entries are recycled first.
[08:07] <aBound> its_me, Indeed though some people use the term power cycle.

[08:07] <its_me> okay... thanks
[08:07] <aBound> its_me, Meaning unplug the router/cable and or/dsl modem for 30 seconds.
[08:08] <Absolver> jericho: Yeah, I figure I'll give it a spin. Certainly better than trying to bring the system fully up after a reboot/poweroutage.
[08:08] <its_me> aBound: you mean, the adapter/power cable
[08:08] <its_me> aBound: okay. I will be right back
[08:08] <aBound> its_me, Power cord.
[08:08] <aBound> :P
[08:08] <diverdude> lol...it seems that if i in nautilus open window from server1 and another window for server2, mark and rag a directory from server1 to server2 that it goes via my workstation...how poorly designed. When i do scp i get normal speed
[08:09] <Absolver> diverdude: That's the expected functionality. If you want to directly copy from server1 to server2, you need to do it from one of the above, not a middleman. ;)
[08:09] <its_me> aBound: okay, I'll be right back
[08:09] <aBound> kk
[08:10] <diverdude> Absolver, why is it expected? There is no reason for nautilus to put it via my workstation
[08:11] <Absolver> Because you're asking a program running locally on your workstation to do the copying. Server1 doesn't know you are copying them to server2 because Nautilus is just asking it for file X, and Server2 doesn't know it's actually coming from server1, as it is just being fed a file by your workstation.
[08:12] <diverdude> Absolver, but nautilus knows that its logged in to both server1 and server2 so it should be smart enough to find a faster way
[08:14] <thechris> does anyone know how to get iwlist scan to return results?
[08:14] <DrPenguin> is the adapter up?
[08:15] <lingling2012> is there a reason to run a virus protection service on ubuntu? if so what is a good one?
[08:16] <Absolver> There are a number of good reasons why it shouldn't, diverdude. Security for one - even if nautilus on your workstation knows its authorized to access both servers, the two servers are not by that reason alone authorized to speak to eachother. Second is SAD, or sane application design. Which means "Do what the user tells you, not what you think the user wants".
[08:16] <Absolver> On that note, reboot time to see if /var/run and /run wants to play together
[08:17] <almoxarife> lingling2012: lets assume you share files with a windows networked machine/s, you might want to insure what ever you are passing is clean?
[08:17] <intok> what can convert mp3 and ogg to .aax?
[08:17] <diverdude> Absolver, but what the user wants is to copy the files using the fastest connection. not the slowest
[08:18] <almoxarife> intok: arista?
[08:22] <nanobolic> thechris, try iwlist <nameofaddapter> scan | less where <nameofadapter> is wlan0 or eth1 etc. etc.
[08:23] <thechris> nanobolic: "no scan results"
[08:23] <Matrixiumn> bye
[08:23] <nanobolic> thechris, try sudi ifconfig ,nameofadapter> up in a terminal
[08:23] <nanobolic> thechris, sudo
[08:23] <almoxarife> I have a sort of hybrid 11.10, ubuntu/kde-desktop, mostly kde now, what is the worse case scenario of using kdesudo instead of gksu? I did add a extension to kdm to account for gnome apps
[08:24] <thechris> nanobolic: there's no ip configured
[08:24] <nanobolic> thechris, what version are you using?
[08:25] <thechris> nanobolic: 11.10.  the problem occurs with both rt2800usb and rt2870sta
[08:26] <thechris> so far the best i've found on google is "it just started working".
[08:26] <nanobolic> thechris, is there any firmware that you have to load?
[08:26] <almoxarife> thechris: thought about ndiswrapper with the win64 drivers?
[08:26] <thechris> nanobolic: everyone keeps mentioning this firmware.   Is there any way to reset it to the default configuration, or delete the user, and recreate that account?
[08:29] <nanobolic> thechris, do you have internet access on the device with the wireless card?
[08:29] <thechris> nanobolic: no
[08:29] <sokak> sabocat, you can access a shell?
[08:29] <sabocat> I can from the install CD
[08:30] <thechris> nanobolic: only with a second computer which also has wifi.  the second computer can scan for AP's and finds a few dozen
[08:30] <nanobolic> thechris, what about ethernet? can you plug a cable in?>
[08:30] <sokak> holding shift during boot doesnt lands you to recovery screen?
[08:30] <almoxarife> thechris: card or usb?
[08:30] <sabocat> Haven't tried that one min
[08:30] <thechris> almoxarife: usb
[08:30] <sokak> sabocat, if you can access a root shell youre on board. You can use adduser to add another working user.
[08:31] <almoxarife> thechris: specific usb, make model
[08:31] <nanobolic> thechris, sounds like you have to have linux-firmware installed to get it to work and possibly blacklist rt2800usb
[08:31] <stickyboy> Is there any way to not request a password when resuming from suspend?  I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 if it's relevant.
[08:31] <sokak> stickyboy, poke with the screensaver settings.
[08:32] <thechris> nanobolic: i have linux firmware installed.  the issue persists with rt2870sta as well
[08:32] <thechris> almoxarife: asus usb-n53
[08:32] <sabocat> sokak: Do you happen to know the default root password?
[08:32] <almoxarife> nanobolic: he was told to blacklist it about an hour ago
[08:32] <sokak> sabocat, dropping to a root shell shouldnt request you any password at all ;)
[08:33] <stickyboy> sokak: Thanks, but I believe those are only for screensaver... not resuming from suspend (sleep).
[08:33] <tron> there is none, just sudo su
[08:33] <sokak> stickyboy, youre right, im trying to wakeup and find where that setting was
[08:33] <sabocat> sokak: Holding shift didn't change anything, still brought me to KDM
[08:34] <sokak> sabocat, at least until maverick, holding shift shall bring out the recovery screen :-)
[08:34] <urlin2u> stickyboy, 2nd post  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1861705
[08:34] <stickyboy> sabocat: The root user does not have a password, but you can become root via `sudo` if your user is in the admin group: sudo su -
[08:34] <raptor67682> hello world
[08:34] <raptor67682> a question
[08:34] <stickyboy> urlin2u: Ok, lemme take a look.
[08:34] <thechris> almoxarife: blacklisting it doesn't do anything other than allow the sta module to pick it up
[08:34] <tron> umm didnt i just say that?
[08:34] <sokak> yeah, if you can drop to textmode from grub screen that may work as well
[08:34] <nanobolic> thechris, try rmmod rt2800usb and rt2870sta and then modprobe rt2870sta
[08:34] <sokak> *yawns*
[08:35] <nanobolic> almoxarife, oh
[08:35] <thechris> nanobolic: like i said, that also doesn't work.  i get an ra0, but still "no results found"
[08:35] <raptor67682> how to play with sdlmame ?   I do :   sdlmame -rompath  /home/josh/games/myrom.zip       and sdlmame says that rom is not there. but it is there and whats going on? permission of the file myrom.zip is also ok
[08:35] <stickyboy> urlin2u: That looks like it'll work.  Cheers.
[08:36] <thechris> nanobolic: though the dmesg shows that phy mode is set to 5 at the end.  In other people's dmesg it gets set to 9
[08:36] <sokak> raptor67682, tried yet with any gui like QMC2?
[08:36] <thechris> I'm really assuming the kernel module never turns on the tx/rx functions
[08:36] <nanobolic> thechris, can you pastebin  the results of lsmod
[08:36] <tron> there any difference between upgrading to 11.10 and doing a fresh install of it?
[08:36] <sokak> tron, imho i always think that a fresh install is less clutter and faster
[08:37] <sokak> (also i broke my eeepc during an update and was having kernel panics - a plunge fixed it)
[08:37] <tron> do u still get unity?
[08:37] <thechris> nanobolic: lsmod will either have rt2870sta with 1 device, or rt2800usb+rt2800lib+rt2x00usb+rt2x00lib, depending on if I blacklist rt2800 or not
[08:37] <stickyboy> I have never upgraded Ubuntu... I always clean install.  My /home is on a separate partition so it's really easy...
[08:37] <sokak> tron, yes, but i got rid of it because it was slow on my eee :) its a relic :)
[08:38] <tron> k thanks
[08:38] <sokak> stickyboy, i totally agree with that, painless reinstall
[08:39] <stickyboy> sokak: I do backup /etc and `dpkg -L > installed_pkgs.txt` etc... just in case I'm like "wtf did I do to get that thing setup?"
[08:39] <blackshirt> Upgrade works flawlesslly for me
[08:39] <almoxarife> thechris: your laptop connects to wifi?
[08:39] <sokak> stickyboy, thats good saying. Im still tryind to find again a one liner i had to dump to a .txt file my current package list
[08:39] <nanobolic> thechris, what does lshw -C network give? it should show something like configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rt2800usb firmware =0.29
[08:40] <thechris> almoxarife: yes, my laptop with internal wifi using some other module (not sure, it works) can connect to my AP, as well as see dozens more
[08:40] <sokak> *facepalms*
[08:40] <sokak> dpkg -L thats it
[08:40] <sokak> *kneels on glass chips
[08:41] <stickyboy> sokak: Not so fast... it's actually `dpkg -l` :)
[08:41] <sokak> ok dude, you can hammer me
[08:41] <thechris> nanobolic: configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rt2800usb driverversion=3.0.0-12-generic firmware=0.29 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11abgn
[08:42] <stickyboy> I was the one who messed up... hehe.
[08:42] <jerichowasahoax> I fixed my previous Postfix problem, but I have a new one - if I try to connect to my SMTP port, I get a timeout. I can still send messages locally so I know it *works*, it just won't accept external connections. It's not a firewall. What's wrong?
[08:42] <blackshirt> Sokak, dpkg -L was listing installed files by package
[08:42] <sokak> ohh, i shall try that one as well then :o
[08:43] <sokak> ahh, tried and noticed
[08:44] <nanobolic> thechris, are you using just the terminal or are you using network manager? Looks like the rt2800usb is the driver that you should be using as from the forums it says the sta driver is depreciated.
[08:44] <sokak> I feel happy like that time i figured out an one liner to shutdown thunderbird, backup the profiles, and restart it :D
[08:45] <thechris> nanobolic: both network manager and iwlist give no results
[08:45] <nanobolic> thechris, is this a usb or internel card?
[08:45] <blackshirt> Lol
[08:46] <thechris> nanobolic: the rt2800usb is a usb device
[08:47] <nanobolic> thechris, what does /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf show?
[08:48] <thechris> nanobolic: i've commented out the lines that blacklist the rt2870.  I've also rebooted.  rt2800usb and rt2800lib are listed in lsmod
[08:52] <nanobolic> thechris, what about iwconfig re0 power off and then iwconfig re0 power on
[08:53] <tron> where do i extract flash to after i unzip it?
[08:53] <bazhang> tron, thats not how you install flash
[08:54] <thechris> nanobolic: no change
[08:54] <bazhang> tron, use the package manager for that
[08:54] <nanobolic> thechris, another thing is see if you can iwlist re0 chan
[08:55] <nanobolic> thechris, or iwlist re0 freq
[08:56] <thechris> it lists channels 1 to 14, 36 to 48, and 149 to 165
[08:56] <azertyi> hello there
[08:57] <thechris> hello
[08:57] <azertyi> i got an excel file which contain lots of links pointing to a website
[08:57] <hypeBoy> hello, is there any irc client which supports split screens. irssi only supports horizonal splits is there any other such client which supports vertical splits?
[08:57] <azertyi> from the shell how to exctract just only the link from that excel file ?
[08:58] <thechris> azertyi: can you convert the file to a csv file?  that would make it easier
[08:58] <bazhang> hypeBoy, quassel has a "chat monitor" split screen
[08:58] <thechris> azertyi: at that point you shoudl be able to use something like awk
[08:58] <becker_11> hypeBoy: you can do that with irssi
[08:58] <becker_11> hypeBoy: they have a patched version check in #irssi
[08:59] <tron> bitchx > irssi
[08:59] <raptor67682> sokak: I would like to start it using konsole ...
[08:59] <hypeBoy> becker_11: thnx becker and bazhang
[09:00] <sokak> raptor67682, sorry, i wasnt paying attention, can you update me on what we were talking about?
[09:00] <sokak> *pokin on an smf admin panel*
[09:01] <thechris> I've noticed that other ra2800usb devices seem to have a dmesg line about requesting firmware, while this one doesn't
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> thechris: is it not provided by the linux-firmware package
[09:01] <raptor67682> I would like to start a game using sdlmame from the konsole.  such as    : sdlmame myrom.zip
[09:02] <bela> i can't delet  afolder in my external hard disck just iam using ubuntu 10.10 it syas"Hid_JavaDatabaseProgrammingwith JDBC.pdf." is there any help?
[09:02] <thechris> ActionParsnip: that's not my point.  I've installed all of the firmware, but I have no way to determine if any of it is actually being used.
[09:03] <thechris> ActionParsnip: it doens't claim that it failed to find firmware, or sucessfully loaded it
[09:03] <thechris> although, i guess lshw did report a firmware version
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> raptor67682: is the folder containing sdlmame in $PATH, or you can make a script to make life easier
[09:03] <thechris> rt2800usb doesn't really have any useful dmesg output.
[09:03] <azertyi> yes i just convert the file to .csv how to do now ? thechris
[09:04] <raptor67682> ActionParsnip: I do not understand what you mean with $PATH
[09:04] <thechris> azertyi: i actually never leared awk, but that would be the easiest way.  I've always just written a python script
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> thechris: dmesg should say what firmware was used
[09:04] <thechris> ActionParsnip: it should, shouldn't it.
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> raptor67682: run:  echo $PATH   and you will see the folders
[09:04] <thechris> I don't know if anyone else has ever even tried to get this to work in linux
[09:04] <jerichowasahoax> I can't get my Postfix server to advertise STARTTLS. Google says this is because my user is unprivileged. How do I fix that?
[09:04] <raptor67682>   and what ? /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> thechris: should is a wonderful word.  sudo lshw -C network    will show some firmware info
[09:05] <thechris> ActionParsnip: and that one does.  but dmesg never reported it.
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> raptor67682: is that the folder the binary is in?
[09:05] <thechris> the issues is that I can't scan for AP's
[09:05] <thechris> even though they do exist
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> thechris: does:  sudo iwlist scan   show SSIDs?
[09:06] <sokak> ahh, got you :) raptor67682, i have way too many roms to remember names to be launched from shell ;) btw, have a look at the manpage to check you've given the correct options http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/sdlmame.1.html
[09:06] <blackshirt> Thechris, is it possible outputing python output from console to web browser page?
[09:06] <thechris> ActionParsnip: nope, "no results found"
[09:06] <thechris> blackshirt: you'd have to import cgi.  I just used python as an example.  the regex can be used anywhere
[09:09] <thechris> or at least anywhere that supportes regex.  there's probably a few how-to's on google that also cover the corner cases
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> thechris: if you unload and reload the module in terminal, does it give any interesting output?
[09:10] <blackshirt> Thecris, i have a little doing with python framework,and i have some python script loaded on the server,but output show on console,not browser pages..
[09:10] <shaleh> I just upgraded from karmic to lucid using dist-upgrade. I am using dovecot as an imap server against maildir in the user home dirs. Now when I point a client at the server I do not see my mail. Instead I see the folders with dots in their name (.foo instead of foo) and it wants to show me all of the dovecot added info instead of mail messages. I set this server up when karmic was new so I have completely ignored dovecot changes. Any i
[09:10] <shaleh> on where to start?
[09:12] <thechris> hmm, despite having "good" linux support, I can't find any evidence that anyone anywhere ever got this adaptor to work
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> thechris: is it usb based?
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> thechris: are there bugs reported?
[09:14] <Arizona_Bay> does anyone know how i can control my desktop from another pc?
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: install openssh-server and you can connect securely via ssh
[09:14] <williamchan_> on my mac osx ... if i do something like ... ssh my[tab] .. it will autocompete w. ssh myserver ........ how can i add this tab completion to my ubuntu as well?
[09:15] <Arizona_Bay> ill google that thank you ActionParsnip
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> williamchan_: you will need to add an entry to the confio of tabcompletion
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: when you say control, what do you want to achieve?
[09:15] <williamchan_> ActionParsnip: how would i do that?
[09:16] <Arizona_Bay> ActioParsnip like controlling the desktop as if im on my own pc,
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> williamchan_: not sure, I only know of it. You will need to add a list of servers you connect to which you can then tab complete
[09:16] <thechris> ActionParsnip: it is usb based
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: to achieve what though?
[09:16] <osmosis> why does ubuntu use Empathy by default instead of Pidgin?
[09:16] <williamchan_> ActionParsnip: on my mac... its able to "memorize" the list of servers... so if i connect it once... it will remember next time .
[09:16] <Arizona_Bay> ActionParsnip to have access to my desktop through my laptop
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> williamchan_: different OSes do different things dude
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: yes but what tasks will you do on the desktop once connected?
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> williamchan_: you could make a suggestion on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[09:17] <Arizona_Bay> ActionParsnip just have access to my data and all that
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: you can access sshfs from Ubuntu once you install openssh-server and access your data like a windows share
[09:18] <Arizona_Bay> ActionParsnip i want that for my windows partition
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: you will also get an sftp server you can connect to from various clients like filezilla to upload and download data
[09:19] <Arizona_Bay> to be honest ActionParsnip i dont know what sshfs and sftp means
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: there are also apps for windows to map sftp as a network drive
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: its like windows file sharing but secured
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: if you just want access to your files then sshfs will do that for you, no need for the whole desktop for that
[09:20] <jamesw> hi.. can anyone suggest a web crawler (similar to WebZip) for ubuntu?
[09:20] <jamesw> i want to point it at a root url, give it credentials, give it what types of files to download and let it go
[09:20] <Arizona_Bay> ActionParsnip no no i want the whole desktop. I want full access
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: why, its not needed... You can install VNC but its really OTT
[09:21] <Arizona_Bay> OTT?
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: and not secure
[09:21] <Arizona_Bay> VNC?
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> OTT = over the top
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: vnc is a standard desktop viewing app which will give you access, it has no security but will give a desktop
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> !vnc
[09:22] <raptor67682> I think it is : sdlmame -rompath /home/josh/games/roms   msglug3.zip but not working
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> raptor67682: read:  man sdlmame
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> raptor67682: or try grabbing a GUI
[09:23] <raptor67682> ActionParsnip:  did it
[09:23] <JoshuaP> ?
[09:23] <raptor67682> I need to use it with the console (no gui) . sorry :(
[09:23] <JoshuaP> Oh not me... nvm
[09:24] <Clerisy> how do i get an iphone to work under ubuntu?
[09:24] <Arizona_Bay> ActionParsnip if i download VNC my pc will be more vulnerable?
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: if it is not exposed to the web then it's fine, if it is then yes, very
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> raptor67682: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man1/sdlmame.1.html
[09:25] <Arizona_Bay> ActionParsnip is there a safer application ? again for windows user
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: you can use it via SSH tunnel to add security, not sure for windows users myself. I always use web interfaces and ssh
[09:26] <MrCasy> this linux ultimate 2.9 is pretty awesome
[09:26] <ShadowE9899> Clerisy: iPhone is too locked down to do that. It does work on some android phones but not all. Ubuntu ATM does not have great touch screen support anyways.
[09:26] <Arizona_Bay> ill google ssh thx ActionParsnip
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> MrCasy: it;s not supported here
[09:27] <MrCasy> anywhere to get support for it
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> !ultimate
[09:27] <MrCasy> thank you
[09:28] <opalepatrick> Where are .air apps located in linux? ran find for tha app and cant locate it
[09:28] <Clerisy> mad ShadowE9899
[09:28] <Clerisy> GOOD OPERATING SYSTEM MATE
[09:28] <ShadowE9899> I read ubuntu will have great multitouch support next release cycle, since they are aiming for tablets.
[09:28] <ShadowE9899> Clerisy: I feel ya.
[09:28] <Clerisy> dat feel ShadowE9899
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> MrCasy: seems to be #UltimateEdition
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> opalepatrick: adobe air isn't supported on Linux anymore
[09:30] <opalepatrick>  i know ActionParsnip, I have one app using it (klok) and just want to locate it for startup
[09:30] <sarts_work> How can I configure the unity wallpaper-image from the cli?
[09:31] <Arizona_Bay> ActionParsnip what does the OpenSSh do againÉ
[09:32] <Arizona_Bay> Im reading about it but i cant clearly understand what it does
[09:32] <Arizona_Bay> Is it a substitute for VNC + SSH?
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: its a secure command line interface, it also allows you to run GUI apps if you have an X server running on the client
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: it also gives an SFTP server
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> opalepatrick: http://askubuntu.com/questions/67218/how-do-i-create-a-desktop-wallpaper-slideshow-in-oneiric
[09:33] <raptor67682> ActionParsnip:   I read it already, that hte same I have man sdlmame, but nothing is written how to run teh rom. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man1/sdlmame.1.html
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> raptor67682: thought it'd be:  sdlmame romname
[09:33] <raptor67682> I loose my time here since you do not konw
[09:33] <raptor67682> I try another channel #sdlmame
[09:34] <Arizona_Bay> ActionParsnip what you say sounds like giberrish :( im giving up thanks anyways
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> opalepatrick: if you installed the app as user it will probably be in $HOME someplace
[09:34] <raptor67682> Arizona_Bay: Me too I am giving up :)
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: try researching instead of seeing alien terms and shrugging
[09:35] <Arizona_Bay> ActionParsnip I am but I think i'm in deeper then i can handle. a lot of things i dont get ...
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: best way to learn is to try
[09:35] <opalepatrick> Cheers ActionParsnip - was that wallpaper link an error?
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> Arizona_Bay: if you install openssh-server you can connect with putty and do stuff
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> opalepatrick: Isn't that what you wanted?
[09:36] <Arizona_Bay> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/remotely-control-somebodys-desktop-the-easy-way/
[09:36] <Arizona_Bay> what about thisÉ
[09:36] <eric> hi all
[09:37] <opalepatrick> lol, no. You answered me second time though. Just a .air app location. No worries. It is Klok - a time manager, and I havent seen anything as good as it in years. Thanks anyway :-)

[09:43] <Nickinator> Hi there,

[09:43] <raptor67682> ActionParsnip: ok I have it : sdlmame  -rompath /home/josh/mamerom/   ../mslug.zip     . I know that it was sthg like that.  It is nowhere written on any boards.
[09:47] <oem> how can I resolv segmentation fault on linux system
[09:48] <Ryllez89-away> how i remove the shortcuts in the side of "aplications" and "local" menu on gnome-classic?
[09:48] <oem> this problem comes at boot step
[09:51] <javier_> hi! I have a problem in another laptop. I have installed ubuntu together with windows 7, but grub doesn't let me move in the menu, so windows (which is setted by default) is always opening. I need ubuntu urgently... Someone knows how to fix this? I've an ubuntu bootable USB
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> Ryllez89: use alacarte and you can edit the menu easily
[09:56] <Ryllez89> ActionParsnip, thxx, i resolved my problem pressing "alt" and right click
[09:56] <Ryllez89> on the icon
[09:56] <Ryllez89> :D
[09:58] <lalagirl> hi everyone!!!!!!!!
[09:59] <lalagirl> how is everyone doing???
[10:02] <thechris> does anyone know how to get an ASUS USB-N53 usb wifi adaptor to work?
[10:02] <thechris> I cannot get it to find AP's.
[10:03] <thechris> I don't think it works in linux, though the support was listed as "good"
[10:03] <thechris> it is listed as rt2800usb, but I can't find any evidence that anyone has ever even tried to use one.
[10:05] <sarts_work> ActionParsnip: thanks, so unity uses the same interface as gnome3 :)
[10:06] <sarts_work> then I don't have to change anything in my code ;)
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> sarts_work: unity is a shell for gnome3
[10:07] <sarts_work> ActionParsnip: oh, I did not know that. thnx.
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> thechris: could go to ralink's page and compile the driver if code is available
[10:09] <thechris> ActionParsnip: I've attempted that for the rt2870sta module.  I'm not convinced that the kernel people know what the device is.  its listed as rt2800 unknown
[10:09] <wadkar> I am doing " mkdir -p foo1/bar1; echo '1' > foo1/bar/baz " and " mkdir -p foo2/bar; echo '2' > foo2/bar/baz " . Now I want to replace foo1 with foo2. If I do " mv foo2 foo1 " the foo2 is moved inside foo1
[10:09] <thechris> The only information I've found for its chipset is from wikidev, which lists the support as "good", and that it probably uses rt2800usb or rt2870
[10:09] <wadkar> is it implicit that I must do " rm -rf foo1; mv foo2 foo1 " ?
[10:10] <KinG`PiN> Hello
[10:10] <wadkar> or am I missing something simple and basic ?
[10:11] <sunken> hi, is there some easy way to configure an ubuntu server just to send me an email with some server status (like hdd usage, restart needed etc.) I already have a smtp mail server on another server?
[10:14] <Anticom> hi all
[10:14] <Anticom> i'm trying to install imageMagick using the rpm packages on ubuntu 11.10
[10:14] <watschu> hallo allerseits
[10:15] <llutz> sunken: write a short script with the things you want, install a simple mailer like ssmtp/msmtp on that machine, configure it to send mails to your other server (with mta) and setup a cron-job
[10:15] <watschu> habe eine partition vergroessert *sda1 und sda2 zusammengefasst
[10:15] <llutz> !de | watschu
[10:15] <Anticom> but no matter with witch package i start , console is always telling me some that there are dependency issues
[10:16] <bazhang> Anticom, dont do that, use imagemagick from ubuntu repos
[10:16] <Anticom> bazhang: i've tried that
[10:16] <Anticom> i want to get the c++ interface for development
[10:16] <Anticom> but c compiler was complaining about like 1000 things
[10:16] <Anticom> so i thought it might be worth a try to go for the rpm's
[10:17] <Anticom> bazhang: any advice on that?
[10:17] <thomasd> hello
[10:17] <Anticom> howdy
[10:17] <darkangel> Does unity include lightdm?
[10:17] <thomasd> I have an issue with gnome would you mind helping me?
[10:18] <sunken> llutz: thank you but it looks hard for me to do it. Do you have an guide url you would like to share?
[10:18] <Anticom> don't ask wether you're allowed to ask questions thomasd ...just ask
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> darkangel: unity is just a shell for gnome, the default ubuntu comes with both lightdm and unity installed
[10:18] <llutz> sunken: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/21/sending-email-from-your-system-with-ssmtp/
[10:19] <thomasd> sorry :P. I'm currently running in a recovery consone. When I run the command Gnome-session the computer runs in a video mode/resolution not allowed on my monotor. Is there some file i can edit to reset video settings for gnome?
[10:20] <darkangel> ActionParsnip: I'm installing unity manually from a command-line-only install.
[10:20] <sunken> llutz: ok, will start with it and see if I can figure it out. Thank you
[10:20] <dereek> my battery meter is showing 13 hrs 45 minuter..
[10:21] <dereek> and it shows low battery whenever i remove the charger..
[10:21] <dereek> what should i do
[10:21] <darkangel> ActionParsnip: I'm trying to understand how the dependencies work ... will installing unity install gnome, etc.
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> darkangel: I see, could have installed a different DE, or use the --no-recommends option in apt-get
[10:21] <dereek>  my battery meter is showing 13 hrs 45 minuter..and it shows low battery whenever i remove the charger..  what should i do
[10:22] <Anticom> dereek: don't remove the charger :)
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> darkangel: if you install a package then read the packages also installed, you can see what's what
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> dereek: 13 hours is sweet
[10:22] <dereek> and getting low battey when charged 100 percent is rough
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> dereek: do you have latest BIOS?
[10:23] <thechris> meh, I'm just going to return the usb wifi adaptor.
[10:23] <owenll> dereek: is it the battery that's not charging or the indicator that's not working?
[10:23] <thechris> i'm not convinced it works in linux at all
[10:23] <dereek> yeah..
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> thechris: its a usb thing, they are cheap
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> thechris: try get a broadcom based one or intel
[10:24] <dereek> it was fine with windows and  ubuntu 10.10
[10:24] <thechris> well, its late
[10:24] <darkangel> ActionParsnip: k, thanks.

[10:39] <ActionParsnip> docboy: /j #bodhilinux
[10:39] <docboy> but bodhi is derived from ubuntu 10.04
[10:39] <pfred1> I'm running ubuntu 11.10 live is there a way to switch it to "classic"
[10:40] <Naeblis> Hi! I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, and suddenly the sound went away. I'm getting a "** (gnome-volume-control:2492): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting...". when I try opening the gnome volume control. Any help? :)
[10:40] <pfred1> pooltable you said 05:38 < pooltable> i got it
[10:41] <pooltable> pfred ok on classic try this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-make-ubuntu-11-10-look-and-feel-like-gnome-2/ I did not like it i went to xfce like it much better
[10:42] <pfred1> pooltable twm would beat unity ;)
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: if you run:  alsamixer   in terminal, is it ok?
[10:43] <pooltable> pfred1 i know i wish they ubuntu crew just add classic  for all of us that do not like it
[10:43] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, yes.
[10:43] <pfred1> pooltable on the plus side i got my wifi working easily enough
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse    then retry the app
[10:44] <azertyi> hello there
[10:44] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, "pulseaudio: no process found"
[10:44]  * pfred1 wonders why someone doesn't just stick a shank into pulseaudio and put all uf us out o our miseries
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: that could be why
[10:44] <psyclone> is there a way that I can change my WAN IP address?
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> psyclone: contact your provider
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: does a reboot help?
[10:45] <azertyi> it was a time i put a password on winrar folder now i forgot the password
[10:45] <azertyi> how to rescue the password ?
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> azertyi: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-crack-rar-7z-and-zip-files-with.html
[10:45] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, no. I was having sound problems 2 days ago, then I did an update I found on the troubleshoot pages which fixed it. Now it's gone again.
[10:46] <psyclone> ActionParsnip: is there now way to do this manually
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> psyclone: no, your wan ip is provided by your ISP, you will need to contact them
[10:46] <azertyi> thanks ActionParsni
[10:47] <Naeblis> and I thought you should only have alsa or pulseaudio installed, not both?
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[10:47] <pfred1> pulse is an abstraction that runs on alsa
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: yes you have both
[10:47] <pfred1> alsa is the actual sound driver
[10:48] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=f6b924d923bb1084fd5b8a09a5e22358d680171a
[10:48] <pfred1> pulse is supposed to be more of a multiplexer
[10:48] <pooltable> how do i add paste in folder in xfce ???
[10:48] <pfred1> in reality is is just a bad headache
[10:50] <almoxarife> pfred1: why not remove pulse from your system?, be done with it
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: have youran the netty command here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[10:51] <pfred1> almoxarife I always do
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> pulse always works here, never had a sound issue in all my years of linux
[10:51] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, yes. That's what I did.
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: cool
[10:51] <pfred1> ActionParsnip maybe you haven't run Linux for so many years
[10:51] <almoxarife> pulse works here too
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> pfred1: since 2000
[10:51] <Naeblis> I had glorious sound for 1 day. Now it's gone again. :(
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> pfred1: how many years is 'so many'
[10:52] <pfred1> ActionParsnip well I have you beat by 5
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: are you wanting to use hdmi or the regular sound card?
[10:52] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, Whatever works tbh.
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> pfred1: still a good few, I buy compatible stuff rather than shiny shiny, new or what is no sale
[10:53] <pfred1> ActionParsnip get original Quake to work with pulse
[10:53] <azertyi> i just install the package how to use ? ActionParsnip to winrar
[10:53] <pfred1> ActionParsnip good luck to ya
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> pfred1: wine works great with pulse here
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> pfred1: it'll run well
[10:53] <pfred1> ActionParsnip did I say wine?
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> pfred1: you didn't say NOT wine
[10:54] <pfred1> ActionParsnip OK I'm saying it now native
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> pfred1: if you don't constrict I will assume its an option
[10:54] <pfred1> ActionParsnip consider yourself constricted then
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> pfred1: ooh baby
[10:54] <azertyi> how to use rarcrack ? ActionParsnip
[10:54] <almoxarife> pfred1: is there a gui for terminal? I was wanting to go gui/pulse, can I play quake on a coco?
[10:54] <pfred1> ActionParsnip run the darkplaces on wine tell me the framerate you're getting on a good mod map
[10:55] <Naeblis> I'm fairly sure this is just a volume control problem, because I hear noise when I try to play something, so I know the sound isn't gone.
[10:55] <azertyi> this is the error i got Erreur de segmentation (core dumped) ActionParsnip
[10:56] <pfred1> Naeblis then fix it in  mixer application
[10:57] <pfred1> Naeblis try gmix if you can't figure out how alsamixer works
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> pfred1: am I allowed to use quakespasm?
[10:57] <pfred1> ActionParsnip isn't that just a mod?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> !info quakespasm
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> !info quakespasm precise
[10:58] <pfred1> ActionParsnip yeah run the second board in darkplaces that'll do just fine
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> pfred1: QuakeSpasm is a Unix-friendly Quake engine based on the SDL port of the popular FitzQuake.
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> pfred1: its in universe in precise
[10:59] <pfred1> ActionParsnip ah then I must be thinking about something with a similar name

[11:18] <piglit> even the thing that showed me to switch to the other workspace is gone
[11:18] <piglit> i am using gnome clasic btw
[11:20] <pooltable> actionparsnip where do i go to install afaik?
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> pooltable: software centre, like any other app
[11:22] <stevekenya> actionparsnip: i have folled both methods but still sane can find the scanner
[11:22] <pooltable> actionparsnip i look up file manager i go not see afaik
[11:23] <almoxarife> piglit: there is an extension for cpu load for gnome, I think, regardless, its all about extensions in 11.10, look for the ones that will make your desktop to your taste
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> stevekenya: is it the same as this: http://www.bottomlesspit.org/2010/12/23/canon-lide-210-scanner-support-on-ubuntu-1010-maverick
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> pooltable: pcmanfm is a file manager, afaik is me saying 'as far as I know'
[11:25] <pooltable> i have pcmanfm how do i change it ?
[11:25] <flukes1> I just reinstalled ubuntu server 11.10 and my eth0 has no IPv4 address, just IPv6 - how do I fix this? I had to manually add it to /etc/network/interfaces to even get it to show up
[11:27] <flukes1> I fixed it last time but can't remember how, I know I didn't have to disable ipv6 though
[11:29] <MK--> hi all i'm having a nightmare trying to install ubuntu on my new Dell i7 pc. I have tried installing from usb, from cd; 32 bit version and 64 bit version; 11.10 and 11.04; i have checked the iso mdsums and everything! It just won't install. I keep getting this message and then it hangs!
[11:29] <luca3> ciao
[11:29] <luca3> !list
[11:29] <opalepatrick> Whats a good alternative to brasero for 11.10 (using unity)
[11:30] <stevekenya> actionparsnip:help me understand this:
[11:30] <stevecam> opalepatrick, rhythmbox
[11:30] <stevekenya> $cat /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf and make sure your scanner is listed.
[11:30] <stevekenya> If not listed then $sudo cp ~/sane-backends/backend/genesys.conf.in /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf
[11:31] <pooltable> opalepatrick i like k3b
[11:31] <stevekenya> my genesys.conf is blank
[11:31] <stevecam> opalepatrick, sorry, k3b
[11:31] <blackshirt> K3b was kde centris
[11:32] <stevekenya> oops sorry its listed there but its still not found
[11:35] <Guest25947> i have a doubt about ettercap
[11:35] <MK--> hi all i'm having a nightmare trying to install ubuntu on my new Dell i7 pc. I have tried installing from usb, from cd; 32 bit version and 64 bit version; 11.10 and 11.04; i have checked the iso mdsums and everything! It just won't install. I keep getting this message and then it hangs!
[11:35] <stevecam> i wish i understood the logic behind many decisions in the Linux community, like why distributors use things like Brasero, banshee and unity
[11:35] <MK--> http://www.uploadup.com/di-PD3Q.jpg
[11:36] <MK--> any help will be appreciated. It just hangs at this point and it's driving me crazy. Been a few days and I still am not sure what to do. http://www.uploadup.com/di-PD3Q.jpg
[11:36] <Guest25947> i have a problem with the dns on ettercap
[11:41] <MK--> anyone?
[11:41] <MK--> :)
[11:42] <aguitel> how disable screensaver in ubuntu 11.10 ?
[11:44] <Nickinator> Change the "turn off after",
[11:46] <opalepatrick> thanks stevecam & pooltable - k3b is OK with unity or will it pull in a load of libraries?
[11:46] <user> hello, how to install proprietary drivers for GeForce2 MX400? They are not present in Prop. Drivers menu
[11:47] <stevecam> opalepatrick, it will pull in a few
[11:47] <opalepatrick> Oh I will get it. Just got into a massive lost data situation cos of brasero (and me not double checking)
[11:49] <Daekdroom> user, if they are not there, it's probably because nvidia no longer supports your video card.
[11:49] <MK--> anyone know what i can do to get ubuntu installed?
[11:49] <MK--> any help will be appreciated. It just hangs at this point and it's driving me crazy. Been a few days and I still am not sure what to do. http://www.uploadup.com/di-PD3Q.jpg

[11:50] <MonkeyDust> MK--  basically: insert CD or thumbdrive, reboot, follow instructions
[11:50] <MK--> lol MonkeyDust
[11:50] <MK--> I have tried that a zillion times
[11:50] <MK--> pls check the error I keep getting - that's where it hangs
[11:51] <MK--> It just hangs at this point http://www.uploadup.com/di-PD3Q.jpg
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> unable to open the link
[11:51] <user> Daekdroom, bcoz after one restart ubu have self installed  nouveau which hangs whole screen
[11:51] <MK--> hmm
[11:51] <MK--> what's it saying?
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> child process something
[11:51] <MK--> weird
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> MK--: Tried disabling all unnecessary hardware, like SD card readers and such
[11:52] <MK--> thanks ActionParsnip - how would i go about doing that? I think the problem seems to be related to my scsci hard drive?
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> MK--: install with CD and disable the USB too
[11:52] <kleopatra> Hi, im actually using Kubuntu and have a little answer concerning Ark, it doesnt seem to recognize if an archive is encrypted. It tries to open it but it will last forever. Using unrar is working fine but i like right-clicks on my archives.
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> MK--: in BIOS
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> kleopatra: are there bugs reported?
[11:53] <MK--> ActionParsnip yeah i tried installing with the cd - same issue
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> kleopatra: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=80300
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> kleopatra: seems to be an ancient bug
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> MK--: but if you use CD you can disable all USB connectivity
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> kleopatra: do you actually use a LOT of password protected rar files?
[11:55] <sokak> uwaah, tried lxde, its insanely fast and sleek :o
[11:55] <kleopatra> ActionParsnip: thx, still wondering how u found this faster than me ...
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> kleopatra: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=ark+password+rar&kl=uk-en&kp=1
[11:56] <sokak> question: its okay to speak of krark here?
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> sokak: if its in the ubuntu repo, sure
[11:57] <sokak> haha okay, im gonna find another channel for that :)
[11:58] <ribot> hi
[11:59] <ribot> i have tried out to put some scripts in /etc.cron.hourly and it was happening automatically, but when i moved the scripts to cron.daily they are not running anymore... i have tried to run the scripts manually and they do work
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> ribot: do you have a desktop UI?
[12:00] <sokak> i always used the gnome gui for cron, im messy on the cli :3
[12:01] <llutz> ribot: what's the scripts name?
[12:01] <ribot> ActionParsnip: no
[12:01] <ivanuuuko59> hola
[12:02] <ribot> llutz: it's the same name as was working with cron.hourly, no dots: mysql_backup
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> ribot: are the accesses the same after the move?
[12:03] <llutz> ribot: " grep daily /etc/crontab"   do other daily-jobs work?
[12:03] <FAMAS> where do i seek for spinoffs and distros based on ubuntu but specialized for a certain aspect
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> FAMAS: their respective channel
[12:03] <ribot> ActionParsnip: yes
[12:03] <FAMAS> only, i do not know the name of the distro, i just know the need
[12:04] <ribot> llutz: i'm not sure, how do i see if they work?
[12:04] <llutz> ribot: just create a new job, writing date every 2 mins into a /tmp/-file  to check
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> ribot: could try a reboot after the move..
[12:05] <MonkeyDust> FAMAS  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions#Ubuntu-based
[12:05] <llutz> reboot? to restart cron? is this #windows?
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> worth a try
[12:05] <ribot> i don't wanna reboot
[12:06] <sokak> There are any known side effects in abandoning completely unity for lxde? I mean, i can still work using fully ubuntu, or i may end up with some applications not running properly/some configs i cannot touch?
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> sokak  lxde is basically just a different skin
[12:07] <llutz> ribot: do you have anacron installed? if so, daily/weekly/monthly won't be executed by cron anymore. check anacrontab in that case
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> sokak: none at all
[12:08] <sokak> MonkeyDust, i see, i had just doubts about applications meant for unity explicitely not being able to be displayed properly. Thats a relief, lxde boots insanely fast even on my crappy eeepc
[12:08] <ribot> llutz: i didn't install it, as hourly was working already
[12:08] <llutz> ribot: hourly is always run by cron
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> sokak: you can even use unity in LXDE if you want. LXDE is great
[12:09] <ribot> llutz: anacrontab is there, but i didn't install it, so maybe i have to?
[12:09] <sokak> ActionParsnip, i noticed :) If lxde can boot in 2 seconds on my eeepc, i cant figure how damn fast can be on an exacore rig with a sata disk
[12:09] <llutz> ribot: apt-cache policy anacron |grep -i insta
[12:10] <ribot> llutz: it's installed, the latest version
[12:10] <ribot> might it not be running?
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> sokak: xpud boots faster than ubuntu if boot speed impresses you
[12:10] <infuriato> |list
[12:10] <llutz> ribot: so check anacron, anacrontab, see logs.
[12:10] <sokak> ActionParsnip, im fine with everything under 2 seconds xD If i go faster, i wont be able to keep the rhytm with my box :D
[12:11] <sokak> But i have to admit, ActionParsnip that when i am in a hurry, i gladly boot puppy from a thumbstick ;) Even if i think that having 8 gig of ram is a little overkill for that :D
[12:12] <ribot> llutz: seems to be no logs of it
[12:16] <piglit> almoxarife, i found it, it seems you have to press alt AND the right mouse button to install to do "add to panel" You did not have to use the ALT button before
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> sokak: add the toram option to it and it will scream along
[12:20] <ribot> if i do crontab -e from root, then save the file with a command, what else do i need to do for the cronjob to run?
[12:21] <lnxslck> ribot, nothing
[12:22] <lnxslck> just che
[12:22] <lnxslck> check to see if crond is running
[12:22] <lnxslck> if it is, the job will run as configured
[12:22] <ribot> lnxslck: how can i check that
[12:22] <Andrew_Lee> ps -ef
[12:23] <ribot> i don't see it there, and yet cron.hourly was working
[12:23] <arri> q
[12:23] <Andrew_Lee> ribot, is crontab running?
[12:23] <Naeblis> so umm...I've tried everything, but still no sound. :(
[12:24] <ribot> Andrew_Lee: i don't know, how do i check?
[12:24] <Naeblis> the gnome volume control is back, and I can hear "clicks" when I play something, but no sound.
[12:25] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, you there?
[12:25] <Andrew_Lee> ps -ef | grep cron
[12:25] <ribot> Andrew_Lee: seems not to be running
[12:26] <Andrew_Lee> ribot, look at in /etc/init.d
[12:26] <ribot> what does it look like? there is something called cron
[12:26] <foleygermany> is there someone online???
[12:27] <Andrew_Lee> ribot, you should see cron there
[12:27] <foleygermany> i have some problems with my ubuntu
[12:27] <foleygermany> can somebody help me ???
[12:28] <Dynamit> foleygermany just write your problem!
[12:28] <foleygermany> ive installed an surfstick (MFE ZME 100)
[12:29] <rafaelsoaresbr> !ask > foleygermany
[12:29] <foleygermany> okay
[12:29] <foleygermany> an private message to ????
[12:29] <foleygermany> anybody???
[12:30] <Cul> setting up NFS, confused... followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo and getting errors. stopping before I break something :)
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: sup
[12:31] <sokak> ActionParsnip, what does the toram does? :o flips all up in the ram?
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> sokak: runs the entire OS in ram, makes app load times blisteringly fast
[12:32] <sokak> ActionParsnip, i do like >:o
[12:32] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, still not getting any sound. The gnome control is back, and I tried that Natty troubleshoot again. No go. :|
[12:32] <Naeblis> I do get a little "pop" when I play something.
[12:33] <sokak> ActionParsnip, the toram switch can be applied to any ubuntu as well? :3
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> sokak: I believe on the liveCD yes
[12:33] <foleygermany> Hello dear community.
[12:33] <foleygermany> I  stand here before a real problem, I should install a modem (ZTE  Surstick MFE 100) and a SMSServer (smstools v3) on Ubuntu (Ubuntu 10.04  LTS).
[12:33] <foleygermany> Did  the Surstick plugged in and with him usb_modeswitch in the "Surf Stick"  mode is selected (everything worked as described here.
[12:33] <foleygermany> Then I installed the server smstools (here)
[12:33] <foleygermany> and  of course after I did the config revision had to send a text message: P  fehlschlug.In thoroughly what the / var / logs / stands following  smsd.log
[12:33] <FloodBot1> foleygermany: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:34] <sokak> ActionParsnip, bummer, i wanted to try it so badly on my installed os :D Planning to buy another 24 gig of ram soon :3
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> sokak: I had an idea for copying all the OS to ram in the same method but you'd need to rebuild initramfs each shutdown to put the updates back on the permanent storage
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> 24 gig?
[12:35] <sokak> ActionParsnip, im listening :D Dont think im insane, i have a truckton of ram because i use intensively vms :)
[12:36] <foleygermany> Hello dear community.

[12:36] <lalagirl> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii everyone!!!!!!!!!
[12:36] <foleygermany> Sry
[12:37] <foleygermany> i have some problems with my surfstick
[12:37] <foleygermany> can somebody help me???
[12:37] <Gentoo64> omg bill gates has joined
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> sokak: the OS will use the RAM as disk cache and speed things up
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> foleygermany: is it a 3G device
[12:37] <High_Priest> foleygermany, just explain what exactly the problem is and wait until someone answers
[12:37] <foleygermany> okay
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> sokak: it'd take a lot of work but could be done, boot and shutdown would be dog slow
[12:37] <foleygermany> if plugged in the sursftick and switched to modem mode
[12:38] <foleygermany> that works fine
[12:38] <foleygermany> but then i wanted to send an sms
[12:38] <sokak> MonkeyDust, i think i shall reconsider what ive said :3 i thought my mobo limit was 32, but then i came back to reality and realized that 1) there arent still ddr3 8 gb sticks, 2) i has just 4 slots and 2 were yet filled (oh silly me)
[12:38] <foleygermany> and cant find the device :(
[12:38] <tiox> Ubuntu 11.10, Gnome 3, I am looking for a way to make a series of keypresses emulate another keypress to supplement a miniature, palm-sized keyboard I've recently acquired. For instance: Super_L+Alt+R = Alt+F4
[12:38] <foleygermany> and my udev rule failed
[12:38] <foleygermany> :(
[12:38] <lalagirl> !enter | foleygermany
[12:39] <sokak> ActionParsnip, a pciexpress ssd its on the wishlist, it shouldnt be so slow even during shutdowns
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> sokak: then have a go, could be good. I don't have a large enough system to play so can't do it
[12:40] <sokak> ActionParsnip, would you like a fresh kidney? i've just finished to pay my graphic card, and i am short on money :) *hands out a kidney*
[12:40] <foleygermany> ive cant send an sms via smstoolserver on ubuntu 10.04 unless i pluged in and changed my surfstick mode (what works fine) cause i cant find the device name/mehtode for the smsserver
[12:40] <benn> when i insert my monitor in my laptop it creates a new workspace..i dont want that ...i want it to display the same workspace how to do it?
[12:40] <sokak> its cheap ;o
[12:41] <tiox> sokak: 8GB RAM does exist.
[12:41] <Spandex> Ciao
[12:41] <Spandex> !list
[12:41] <sokak> tiox, youre speaking of ddr3?
[12:41] <tiox> Yep.
[12:41] <tiox> Hold on, lemme look.
[12:41] <foleygermany>  ive cant send an sms via smstoolserver on ubuntu 10.04 unless i pluged in and changed my surfstick mode (what works fine) cause i cant find the device name/mehtode for the smsserver has there someone an solution???
[12:41] <Gentoo64> foleygermany, if no one has answered, no one knows
[12:42] <foleygermany> hmm shit :(
[12:42] <Cul> indeed
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> sokak  you load all your os'es in ram?
[12:42] <lalagirl> !language | foleygermany
[12:43] <benn> when i insert my monitor in my laptop it creates a new workspace..i dont want that ...i want it to display the same workspace how to do it?
[12:43] <sokak> MonkeyDust, no, i was thinking to ram load just the linux host :)
[12:43] <Gentoo64> sokak, what would be the point?
[12:43] <sokak> Gentoo64, to speed it up to the max?It makes low sense to have ram and not using it
[12:43] <lalagirl> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[12:43] <tiox> sokak, I forgot what publication of Maximum PC brought this to light, so my information may be off-base. But I think they said Corsair has single-stick DDR3 8GB RAM planned for market.
[12:43] <foleygermany> and where can i go now dont know any solution,trayed all (also launchpad and mailinglist) and dont get an answer
[12:44] <Gentoo64> sokak, you are using the ram, as you go
[12:44] <sokak> tiox, nevermind my mobo stops at 16 Gb :)
[12:44] <sokak> http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/M4N98TD_EVO/#specifications
[12:44] <tiox> Helps to look. :)
[12:45] <tiox> So yeah, 4x4GB would be your max.
[12:45] <sokak> Yep Gentoo64 but the point is that linux doesnt slugs when you fill up ram almost to the brim
[12:45] <vanderlei> fdfs
[12:45] <lalagirl> i love AMD
[12:45] <sokak> i had a hard time to notice docky leaking 6 gb of ram xD
[12:45] <Gentoo64> sokak, you mean when it huts swap?
[12:45] <tiox> Then when you eat into swap RAM on the HDD, you feel the bite of no memory atall.
[12:46] <sokak> i agree with you all, but filling up 8 gb is yet an hard task, i think that even using multiple vms, it will be hella hard to hit the swap
[12:46] <lalagirl> http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_2011/Rampage_IV_Extreme/
[12:47] <tiox> While I do not advise using it on a system with sufficient memory, for rigs with low memory the zramswap package may be of interest.
[12:47] <Gentoo64> sokak, yeah, i run vms (nor loads at a time) with 4gb
[12:47] <tiox> If you're interested in giving it a try, I'll find the PPA I got it from. Web Upd8 is usually awesome about spotlighting software and putting it in a PPA.
[12:48] <Gentoo64> zramswap?
[12:48] <sokak> Gentoo64, i run them just to give help :) I moved to linux when i noticed that i can run *many windows at once* to help without slugging at all :) Its so comfy to swap on the fly windows as needed :)
[12:48] <Gentoo64> reminds me of when people on windows put their pagefile on ramdisk lol
[12:48] <tiox> I'll link to the article instead.
[12:48] <sokak> Gentoo64, i've been there xD
[12:48] <Gentoo64> sokak, its pointless :)
[12:49] <tiox> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/increased-performance-in-linux-with.html
[12:49] <sokak> Gentoo64, i remember the good old times i was starting dos, and running doom2 in a ramdisk on my old cyrix 486 :)
[12:49] <sokak> 32 mb of ram ^^
[12:50] <Gentoo64> tbh the ram disk thing has been tried so many times, its so old skool. people use it more for temp files then for speed improvements
[12:50] <High_Priest> sokak, dooom :)))
[12:50]  * High_Priest remembers it
[12:50] <Gentoo64> rememver disco mode?
[12:50] <Gentoo64> lol
[12:50] <sokak> lol
[12:50] <High_Priest> yeah dos.. and novell network on bnc
[12:50] <High_Priest> I had that
[12:50] <sokak> Ha! Im seeking my doom floppies, doomsday time in 3,2,1
[12:51] <High_Priest> sokak, you don't have to.. it's open and freely downloadable
[12:51] <MonkeyDust> i play doom in vbox XP
[12:51] <High_Priest> sokak, I even saw a project where you can play it in web browser xD
[12:51] <sokak> High_Priest, handling again those precious original floppies, is sort of a balm for the heart
[12:52] <sokak> High_Priest, just rockbox an ipod video 5th gen, and play doom on it >:D Jawdropping people guaranteed.
[12:52] <tiox> So what's your poison? pkboom? freedoom? zdoom?
[12:53] <High_Priest> sokak, I understand.. but do you have a floppy drive? I threw away mine long time ago
[12:53] <sokak> ohh myyy, ultimate doom cdrom spotted :3 *cuddles the original cdrom*
[12:53] <tiox> High_Priest: Shame on you.
[12:53] <Gentoo64> sokak, did you play BF2?
[12:54]  * Humbedooh still has his first lappy with an awesome floppy drive and monochrome screen of spiffyness!
[12:54] <tiox> If it were not broken and unusable, you could had externalized it and used it via USB with DOSBox or Wine.
[12:54] <Humbedooh> 80mb harddisk :o
[12:54] <sokak> High_Priest, on my lan my ooold 486 cyrix is still up and running :3 Its my local webserver
[12:54] <High_Priest> lol nice :)
[12:55] <sokak> i had no heart to throw it away x3 Think of it as an undersized overconsuming nas
[12:56] <High_Priest> oh hell
[12:56] <High_Priest> seems that doom on the web was taken down due to legal/infrigement notice

[13:26] <willliamherry> hi
[13:26] <Nickinator> Hey
[13:26] <sweb> sagaci: ty
[13:31] <ribot> hi
[13:31] <ribot> i'm trying to run a cronjob but it doesn't run
[13:32] <lishimiao> i've no idea what cronjob does...
[13:33] <geirha> ribot: Which crontab, what's the crontab line you added, and how do you determine it doesn't run?
[13:34] <ribot> geirha: i did "crontab -e" as root, the line is "30 14 * * * /root/auto_backup/mysql_backup" and it's supposed to upload some files which don't appear.. running the line manually however works
[13:34] <ribot> i did this at 14:29 hrs according to server time
[13:34] <geirha> ribot: Most likely, it doesn't find some of the commands because PATH is different.
[13:35] <ribot> geirha: it's an absolute path
[13:35] <geirha> ribot: Oh, also, give it at least two minutes to read the job
[13:35] <theadmin> ribot: The paths in the script might also be unstandard.
[13:35] <ribot> i've been waiting 5 minutes
[13:35] <theadmin> ribot: So try to use absolute binary names inside the script I guess
[13:36] <ribot> it's supposed to be that difficult?
[13:36] <theadmin> ribot: Not sure, well, if PATH is your problem then maybe
[13:36] <geirha> ribot: Typically, when cron runs the script, it's PATH will only contain /usr/bin and /bin, so the best thing to do is set PATH to all the directories you need at the start of the script
[13:37] <ribot> so i need to edit the script too?
[13:37] <geirha> ribot: That's one possibility, you can also set PATH in crontab
[13:38] <ribot> so maybe it doesn't understand "mysqldump"
[13:39] <geirha> ribot: For debugging, you can put the following line at the start of the script     exec >/tmp/scriptoutput 2>&1    It will redirect all output of the script to a file in /tmp
[13:39] <ribot> how do i know the path to mysqldump and curl?
[13:39] <geirha> ribot: ''type mysqldump'', ''type curl''
[13:40] <geirha> ribot: or   type -a mysqldump   to reveal all locations
[13:41] <Spandex> ciao
[13:41] <Spandex> !list
[13:41] <ribot> thanks geirha
[13:41] <gold> ping
[13:41] <MonkeyDust> geirha  why not just exec > /tmp/scriptoutput ?
[13:41] <ribot> pong
[13:42] <geirha> MonkeyDust: That only redirects stdout, not stderr where errors are usually printed.
[13:43] <theadmin> geirha: Then add 2>&1 to redirect stderr to stdout
[13:43] <theadmin> geirha: Or 2>file to redirect stderr to file
[13:43] <sweb> what is ubuntu firewall configuraton app such as csf ?

[13:46] <curiousx> aloha
[13:47] <geirha> ribot: Yes, as I said, you need to give it at least two minutes

[14:01] <diverdude> I have ubuntu 10.10 server ed. running on a machine. Harddisk is now full. I have bought a new harddisk which i want to insert. Can i just turn of the computer, connect the harddisk and will ubuntu then automatically find and mount the new harddisk?
[14:01] <diverdude> its a 1.5 TB disk
[14:01] <astho> hey
[14:01] <astho> im having some trouble flashing my bios, can someone helo?
[14:02] <astho> *help
[14:02] <theadmin> diverdude: Yep, that'll work
[14:02] <theadmin> diverdude: It's just a storage unit, lol, how can it POSSIBLY not work?
[14:02] <Church> if it's preformatted with some known fs, maybe
[14:03] <Church> otherwise you'll probably need to create some partitions & format fs
[14:03] <theadmin> Well yeah Church is right
[14:03] <diverdude> theadmin, ok thats nice. Where will it then be located? And can i make it so that a specific user has access to 90% of the harddisk?
[14:03] <theadmin> diverdude: "90%"? Huh?
[14:03] <theadmin> diverdude: And it will be located whereever you mount it. You need to format it first though
[14:04] <Church> i'm guessing you'll also need to move some files off your currently filled up fs to new one later one, unless you use lvm for it and can pvcreate/vgextend/lvextend/growfs for existing fs
[14:04] <astho> anyone's got a toshiba z830?
[14:05] <oCean> astho: you got a hardware issue, ask in ##hardware
[14:05] <theadmin> Church: From what I understand, this isn't supposed to be a primary (OS) drive
[14:07] <Kurdistan> hi the kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ is there any way to add the ubuntu patches to them? if so, how?
[14:08] <Kurdistan> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/  <<<---- I understand this kernels are vanilla kernels without ubuntu patches
[14:08] <diverdude> theadmin, do i manually have to mount it every time i turn on the system?
[14:09] <devid19> ! devid19 saluta tutti
[14:09] <Cradam> hi, does anyone know of a script that is fired when your resolution is changed by a game?
[14:11] <crasher> hellow
[14:11] <dragonslay> hwllow
[14:12] <crasher> just installed ubuntu for a run
[14:12] <crasher> and it works greate
[14:12] <MonkeyDust> but
[14:12] <dragonslay> but
[14:12] <MrClaw> Should Pidgin automatically set my status to offline when I suspend my laptop?
[14:12] <MrClaw> As in, does it do it normally?
[14:13] <crasher> empathy is working nice for me
[14:13] <dragonslay> MrClaw, use the preferences
[14:13] <MrClaw> dragonslay: I can't find a relevant one. :(
[14:13] <MrClaw> crasher: Does it do it?
[14:14] <crasher> what claw?
[14:14] <MrClaw> crasher: Set your status to "Offline" when you suspend Ubuntu?
[14:14] <crasher> i didnt checked
[14:14] <crasher> but im sure it does
[14:14] <crasher> because, its like turning your pc off
[14:14] <MrClaw> Aha. I don't think it happens in Pidgin.
[14:15] <dragonslay> MrClaw, do you want it to go offline when you resume from suspend?
[14:15] <MrClaw> crasher: Basically, the idea is that when you suspend and your IM program doesn't send a signal to your IM servers that you're going offline, people will think you're still connected while you aren't until your connection times out.
[14:15] <MrClaw> dragonslay: I want it to go to offline when I suspend, and then back to the status from pre-suspension when I resume.
[14:16] <crasher> I think is does that automaticly
[14:16] <crasher> automatic
[14:16] <dragonslay> MrClaw, put a script in appropriate runlevel
[14:16] <MrClaw> crasher: And also, your server might think the same, thus not delivering the messages sent to you between the suspension and when your connection times out.
[14:17] <Pathf1nder> what is the command to extract bz2?
[14:17] <MrClaw> dragonslay: Right, but it should be a standard feature, don't you think? :) Besides, I have submitted the idea to brainstorm.ubuntu.com, and it got rejected, because I think they said it's already implemented.
[14:17] <MrClaw> Pathf1nder: tar xjf
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> MrClaw  you could suspend and when you resume, ask your contacts what your status was
[14:17] <crasher> eh maybe is a program with pidgin
[14:17] <MrClaw> MonkeyDust: I am pretty sure it doesn't change, but I will.
[14:17] <crasher> problem*
[14:17] <MrClaw> crasher: Yeah, since Empathy is the default IM program now.
[14:18] <crasher> you didnt tryed MrClaw?
[14:18] <crasher> im sure when you suspend your pc you wil go offline
[14:18] <akira__> Hello?
[14:18] <MrClaw> crasher: I haven't, because I was sure it doesn't happen (I lose messages)
[14:18] <crasher> hellow
[14:18] <crasher> when yes, of course you lose messanges
[14:18] <crasher> like in windows
[14:19] <akira__> What iare you talking about?
[14:19] <crasher> when you close the messenger you lose the message
[14:19] <crasher> you should try
[14:19] <MrClaw> crasher: I'll explain in a second. I'm testing the thing with a friend. :)
[14:19] <crasher> oki
[14:19] <phiil_> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-recover-deleted-files-with-lsof-command.html
[14:20] <crasher> about pigdin akira
[14:20] <akira__> What is pigdin?
[14:20] <willliamherry> pidgin
[14:20] <Kurdistan> any one?
[14:21] <devid19> !devid19 saluta
[14:21] <crasher> sorry
[14:21] <crasher> I miss type
[14:21] <akira__> Are you Linux users?
[14:21] <theadmin> akira__: Most of us, yes.
[14:21] <akira__> Heh...
[14:21] <phiil_> is ubuntu windows
[14:21] <bazhang> akira__, actual ubuntu support question?
[14:21] <theadmin> akira__: Not everyone here runs Ubuntu though
[14:22] <theadmin> phiil_: You again?...
[14:22] <phiil_> hehehe
[14:22] <crasher> is that a question phiil?
[14:22] <crasher> :)
[14:22] <phiil_> statement/question
[14:22] <bazhang> phiil_, wrong channel
[14:22] <theadmin> bazhang: Please ban phiil_. Yesterday he was here claiming "Ubuntu ripped everything off Fedora", now he asks "is Ubuntu Windows", and never has any support issues.
[14:22] <MrClaw> crasher: Right.
[14:22] <MrClaw> crasher: I've checked with a friend and Ubuntu doesn't tell Pidgin to go offline when I suspend.
[14:23] <crasher> oh so it stays online?
[14:23] <MonkeyDust> MrClaw  now you know
[14:23] <MrClaw> crasher: The thing is that between the time the computer suspends and the server realizes you aren't in fact connected (if you don't tell it that explicitly), the server thinks you're offline and sends the messages to you
[14:23] <MrClaw> crasher: But it doesn't care if they get delivered - it just assumes they have.
[14:23] <MrClaw> crasher: So effectively, you lose them.
[14:23] <crasher> mhm i understand
[14:23] <crasher> good to know
[14:23] <Cradam> what are the chances of not being had a go at for reposting my question, never mind, here goes:
[14:24] <slakcphil> phiil_ do you pronounce your name like, feeel?
[14:24] <akira__> I am looking for Japanese forum.
[14:24] <slakcphil> :)
[14:24] <MonkeyDust> !jp| akira__
[14:24] <Cradam> does anyone know of a script that is fired when your resolution is changed by a game?
[14:24] <phiil_> slakcphil:yes, i have very strong feelings
[14:24] <MrClaw> crasher: So a solution to that would either be to fix the protocol to retry until it gets a confirmation that it's been delivered, or just notify the IM program of closing the computer, so it can tell the server that you're offline now and not to deliver the messages to you until you reconnect.
[14:24] <phiil_> like feeeel
[14:24] <phiil_> yes
[14:24] <slakcphil> ha
[14:24] <akira__> Many thanks. Ubottu
[14:24] <bazhang> !ot | phiil_
[14:25] <crasher> Il do a test also
[14:25] <crasher> see how it works
[14:25] <MrClaw> crasher: Do you have a Jabber/XMPP account?
[14:25] <crasher> no
[14:25] <akira__> Nobody there.
[14:25] <MrClaw> crasher: MSN?
[14:25] <colton_> What is the best book to study LPIC level 1 - exam 101??
[14:26] <crasher> yahoo
[14:26] <MrClaw> crasher: Ah, I can't test that with you then. :)
[14:26] <MrClaw> crasher: But the test I did is this: tell a friend to watch your IM status for a minute (whether you go offline), suspend your PC, wait a minute and resume its work.
[14:26] <Cradam> akira__: http://forum.ubuntulinux.jp/
[14:26] <MrClaw> crasher: And ask the friend if you went offline.
[14:26] <oCean> colton_: maybe try #ubuntu-offtopic, since that's not a technical support question
[14:26] <Cradam> akira__: btw, that was a quick google away
[14:27] <slakcphil> when using grep in this fashion--> `cat list | grep -i zed`  that prints all the words with zed of course, is there a way to get it to print only the words that end in zed and slim down output to a length of less than 9?
[14:27] <crasher> I think there is a period of time, in witch the server responses
