[04:51] <sam-_-> ChroniclesOfNeve, i know the prices. you pay considerably more than for a pc
[04:51] <sacarlson> etrnl`: the leter that the disk becomes is somewhat random  as why they us uuid.  it can change with small hardware changes like a usb flash pluged in can change your hdd from /dev/sda  to /dev/sdb  so all the partitions can get shifted,  not that this is your case.
[04:52] <ChroniclesOfNeve> sam-_-, but mac is awesome :p
[04:52] <Inphernal> Ew.
[04:52] <sam-_-> ChroniclesOfNeve, didn't mean to start a flamewar :-)
[04:52] <Inphernal> lol
[04:52] <Inphernal> Trying to install Morrowing through Wine, and I get an error saying "Please insert disk 0 that contains the file data3.cab". I had burned the image to a CD and got this error at 33%, just burned it to a DVD and got the error at 87%. There is no such file as data3.cab in the image, which I've used to install the game on Win7
[04:52] <FloodBot1> Inphernal: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:52] <Inphernal> =[
[04:52] <LB> I tried hostname ubuntu but still get the same problem when i tried
[04:52] <ChroniclesOfNeve> sam-_-, lol im an apple fanboy thats why
[04:52] <ChroniclesOfNeve> sam-_-, :p
[04:52] <bonjoyee> M4d3L: gftp, filezilla etc..
[04:53] <coolfire> :-)
[04:53] <sacarlson> etrnl`: or just pluging it into a sata plug instead of an ide plug on the sytem
[04:53] <dhanijeremy> Still no background :'(
[04:53] <etrnl`> sacarlson, ah makes sense. Well I disabled it in fstab, hopefully this will suppress it for now
[04:53] <sam-_-> ChroniclesOfNeve, i might be too if i had the money ;-)
[04:53] <sacarlson> etrnl`: disabled what?  I didn't see /tmp
[04:53] <etrnl`> checking on /dev/sda1
[04:54] <zcat[1]> etrnl`:  if root is 'dirty' then you really want to fsck it, otherwise a small corruption can become a serious filesystem failure
[04:54] <etrnl`> zcat[1], then I will reimage it
[04:55] <etrnl`> these are just kiosk machines, they don't store anything
[04:55] <zcat[1]> etrnl`:  hmmmmm.. ok. your funeral ;)
[04:55] <M4d3L> so nobody know multi-thread ftp for ubuntu?
[04:55] <zcat[1]> hh, that's OK then
[04:55] <Us3r_Unfriendly> how's everyone tonight?
[04:55] <sacarlson> etrnl`: ya it must only take minits to reimage it since you must have a pxeboot install ready with 95 systems
[04:56] <etrnl`> all in all it's not a problem either way, I can replace the physical disk or I can reimage it, just trying to figure out why it is the way it is
[04:56] <zcat[1]> etrnl`:  tunefs? will let you change the number or days/mounts before the filesystem wants to be checked. Look into that?
[04:56] <etrnl`> sacarlson, g4u actually, but yes :)
[04:56] <sam-_-> M4d3L why would multithreading be important for ftp
[04:57] <k0d3g3ar> M4d3L, yeh, that sounds like a Windows question
[04:57] <etrnl`> eventually I might move to pxebooting but didn't want to hassle with our windows based dhcp server
[04:58] <sam-_-> k0d3g3ar, why is that?
[04:58] <goodtime> hi i downloaded a ati driver and the installer doesnt let me install
[04:58] <sacarlson> etrnl`: I tried it with persistance and I think the hdd still is more reliable and faster.  it's fine as a fall back method
[04:58] <sacarlson> etrnl`: and as a reimageing tool
[04:59] <goodtime> is there some sort of command i could use?
[04:59] <sam-_-> goodtime, videocard?
[04:59] <goodtime> yes
[04:59] <etrnl`> sacarlson, which tool?
[04:59] <zcat[1]> !ati
[04:59] <sam-_-> goodtime which one?
[04:59] <Us3r_Unfriendly> goodtime: have you tried the ati driver in the repos?
[05:00] <goodtime> ati radeon 1300 series
[05:00] <sacarlson> etrnl`: I mean use pxeboot as an install media tool and also as a fallback to get things up temp when something fails
[05:00] <sam-_-> x1300 is not supported by fglrx anymore
[05:00] <goodtime> i have the right driver i belive its the installer that wont let me install
[05:00] <etrnl`> oh, right
[05:00] <zcat[1]> goodtime:  it's best to install the driver package from the repos.. if you download a binary installer from ATI's website it might work, but it will confuse package management and break every time there's a new kernel...
[05:00] <goodtime> idk thoe
[05:01] <sam-_-> goodtime, no your videocard isn't supported anymore
[05:01] <Us3r_Unfriendly> goodtime: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
[05:01] <goodtime> man
[05:01] <sam-_-> goodtime, you need to use the opensource driver
[05:01] <goodtime> my screen flickers time to time
[05:01] <goodtime> guess i lose
[05:02] <goodtime> and the store wins again lol
[05:02] <Us3r_Unfriendly> goodtime: you'll want to look at your monitor settings too or generate a xorg.conf file and adjust it there
[05:02] <zcat[1]> this is the problem with 'nonfree' drivers I think.. when th manuf decides to stop keeping the drivers up to date with kernel releases then you have a card that won't work any more.
[05:03] <bonjoyee> goodtime: did u try disabling the kms..i have X1250 onboard and that solved my issue with the default drivers..
[05:03] <goodtime> how might i go about that Us3r_Unfriendly
[05:03] <infid> how can i see all the files a package installed?
[05:03] <infid> from apt
[05:03] <chd> I ran apt-get install vim-runtime because I'm trying to use vimtutor but when I run it nothing happens.
[05:04] <sam-_-> infid dpkg -L
[05:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> go to system>preferences>monitors  and you might have to change the refresh rate
[05:04] <etrnl`> sacarlson and zcat[1], thanks for the help :)
[05:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> goodtime:
[05:04] <goodtime> ok
[05:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> goodtime: that's the easy way
[05:06] <goodtime> it didnt work but things are brighter now lol
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> infid: i found it's dpkg -s package   but I may be wrong. http://www.debianadmin.com/debianubuntu-package-management-using-dpkg.html
[05:07] <goodtime> im kinda new to linux so bare with me
[05:07] <Us3r_Unfriendly> goodtime: still flickering?  I'd suggest generating a xorg.conf and editing there
[05:07] <goodtime> yes
[05:07] <goodtime> idk how
[05:08] <Us3r_Unfriendly> goodtime: now seeing that your new this is going to be kinda hard to generate a xorg.conf seeing that your going to have to kill your X display and then generate it from something like tty1
[05:08] <goodtime> lol yeah
[05:09] <goodtime> im gonna go to the store
[05:09] <Us3r_Unfriendly> goodtime: once you kill the gdm (along with X) your not going to have a grapical display.  TTY is just a command line in a black box...that's all you'll see
[05:10] <Us3r_Unfriendly> goodtime: go to the store for what?
[05:10] <bonjoyee> goodtime: restart ubuntu and add "radeon.modeset=0" to the kernel line... try if that works...it does for me on my X1250!
[05:10] <ubentobox> Can anyone tell me what command I can use to tell ubuntu to do a scan for new hardware? I installed ntfs-3g for a NTFS harddrive I am trying to grab info off of, however it wont show up in ls at all
[05:10] <chd> how do I use vimtutor?
[05:10] <goodtime> a new card lol
[05:10] <Us3r_Unfriendly> chd vimtutor is awesome
[05:11] <goodtime> ok ill run that command
[05:11] <goodtime> brb
[05:11] <Us3r_Unfriendly> chd: type in a terminal "vimtutor" and it teaches you how to use vim
[05:11] <Us3r_Unfriendly> vim is awesome!

[05:18] <RyanTBDM> Hey, real problem. Google isn't my friend. Ok, I have a Toshiba L645D laptop and I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 . The speakers work fine but when I plug in something to the headphone jack, nothing happens, I still get playback from the speakers
[05:19] <AbhiJit> hd, join ##programming and ask there
[05:19] <mmoebius> LB: Add a line like "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost ubuntu" to /etc/hosts , remove all other lines with <IP_ADDRESS> in /etc/hosts
[05:19] <ubentobox> bonjoyee: yeah but the problem I have is I cannot tell what partition.  I tried the fdisk -l didnt even display anything
[05:19] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ActionParsnip: he wants to know how to use vimtutor though...and I know this is Ubuntu channel but in other distros you might have to use vi or vim or joe's editor....it's good to know how to use at least "vi"
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> LB: you have changed your hostname in /etc/hostname but not in /etc/hosts
[05:19] <AbhiJit> hd, type /j ##programming
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> Us3r_Unfriendly: i see, thought you were describing a file edit in terminal to fix stuff
[05:19] <ubentobox> ls
[05:19] <hd> AbhiJit, o.k
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> LB: you need to boot to root recovery mode and make the files match, or sudo fails.
[05:20] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ActionParsnip: no I just told him some need to know commands for vim.
[05:20] <bonjoyee> ubentobox: please paste the output of sudo fdisk -l on pastebin and give the link
[05:20] <AbhiJit> i have a vim quick reference pdf
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> Us3r_Unfriendly: gotcha, my bad :(
[05:20] <Us3r_Unfriendly> AbhiJit: what's the question?
[05:20] <bonjoyee> !paste | ubentobox
[05:20] <AbhiJit> aah
[05:21] <mmoebius> ActionParsnip: Me thinks, friend LB is in the live CD. Not much sense to "recover" anything there
[05:21] <ubentobox> ok
[05:21] <AbhiJit> not the question
[05:21] <AbhiJit> i m telling you
[05:22] <Us3r_Unfriendly> AbhiJit: never used vim for pdf
[05:22] <venilsurya> My system makes a lot of noise at startup, and on web pages it says it might be a faulty ball bearing. Do you guys know any other reasons?
[05:22] <venilsurya> Also, how do I rectify it?
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> mmoebius: i guess, but the names should match
[05:22] <AbhiJit> ahhhhhhhhhhhh
[05:22] <AbhiJit> leave it
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> venilsurya: i suggest you ask in ##hardware
[05:22] <venilsurya> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[05:23] <Us3r_Unfriendly> chd: does that help you out?
[05:23] <ubentobox> Ok I think I see it now
[05:24] <Us3r_Unfriendly> I love mplayer and vim a ton lately
[05:25] <Inphernal> Trying to install Morrowing through Wine, and I get an error saying "Please insert disk 0 that contains the file data3.cab". I had burned the image to a CD and got this error at 33%, just burned it to a DVD and got the error at 87%. There is no such file as data3.cab in the image, which I've used to install the game on Win7.
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> Inphernal: does the appdb say anything about it?
[05:26] <Inphernal> Yeah, it's supposed to work fine, all Bronze+
[05:26] <Inphernal> Gold+ for my version of the game
[05:26] <Us3r_Unfriendly> my experience in wine is not the greatest...
[05:27] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> Inphernal: did you read the text blow the bit it saying gold, it does occasionally have little hints on how to make it nice
[05:27] <Us3r_Unfriendly> hows it going r00t4rd3d ?
[05:27] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: how's the xwinwrap and compiz coming along?
[05:27] <r00t4rd3d> good
[05:28] <Us3r_Unfriendly> nice
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> Inphernal: have you also asked i 'winehq
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> oop
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> Inphernal: #winehq
[05:28] <r00t4rd3d> how you make your bottom gnome panel look like this ? http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/66769-1.png
[05:28] <JohnGarfield>

[05:29] <sacarlson> r00t4rd3d: I have that launcher  what is the name I'll look
[05:29] <dragonkeeper> is there anyway i can multi stream from a device  (two programs view same devices stream) ??
[05:30] <Inphernal> ActionParsnip, the extra text solves problems post installation, I saw nothing similar to my problem. I will ask in that channel, didn't know how to bring up a channel list haha, thank you
[05:30] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: that's just a dock...i sugguest cairo-dock is a good one
[05:30] <vivekrp> Hello
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> Inphernal: np bro
[05:30] <vivekrp> Need a urgent help...!!!!
[05:30] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: you remove or move the bottom panel and replace it with a dock
[05:30] <bastidrazor> r00t4rd3d: i agree, cairo-dock is a good dock.. avant-window-navigator is the package for the screenshot or cairo-dock
[05:31] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: bastidrazor:  it also matters what's the level of graphic acceleration you use
[05:31] <r00t4rd3d> ok another dumb question , you know how minimized windows show in the bottom dock , how you make them goto the top one ?
[05:32] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: bastidrazor: cairo-dock is on more of the heavier side for graphic acceleration
[05:32] <r00t4rd3d> or where do they go with a dock like that ?
[05:32] <zysethans> hello,everyone!!
[05:32] <LB> livecd# Repair broken ubuntu installation.. Please send me a private msg if you can help

[05:33] <sacarlson> r00t4rd3d: it's called docky
[05:33] <bastidrazor> sacarlson: that looks more like awn instead of docky

[05:34] <kdas> hey is there a way to hide 7zip from the software center?
[05:35] <kdas> like make it one of the "technical items"
[05:35] <kdas> ?
[05:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: i also use the "DockbarX" which is a another cool panel replacement
[05:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: but that looks more like win7 dock
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> r00t4rd3d: can also use simdock or wbar if you want something fast and light
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> kdas: i dont know if you can hide your own apps, why do you want it hidden
[05:36] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: I think the leading docks right now is "Gnome-Do" and "Cairo-Dock"...or atleast that's what is the rage now a days
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> kdas: you could use this so it's not installable but will still show: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208426
[05:36] <chaospsychex> can someone help me with netbootin?
[05:37] <kdas> ActionParsnip: you know how there are "technical items" in the software center i just want to know what classifies them as technical. Because i dont want to have 7zip as one of my installed programs but rather as a technical one
[05:37] <Us3r_Unfriendly> also i'm too old to be using rage as a word lol
[05:37] <Us3r_Unfriendly> chaospsychex: what's your problem with unetbootin?
[05:37] <VivekRp> ck
[05:37] <goodtime> radeon.modeset=o: command not found
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> kdas: i'd suggest it on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com  and it may get moved

[05:38] <Us3r_Unfriendly> VivekRp: sounds like gdm
[05:38] <home> ViveRp: are you new to linux?
[05:38] <VivekRp> Yes
[05:38] <r00t4rd3d> oh man , i moved the bottom dock to the top then set it to auto hide , and it really screwed things up
[05:38] <kdas> ActionParsnip: didnt quite answer my question but thanks for help
[05:38] <bonjoyee> goodtime: also its a kernel parameter..not a terminal command..
[05:38] <goodtime> Us3r_Unfriendly:
[05:38] <home> VivekRp: Are you good with computers?
[05:38] <chaospsychex> i'm trying to select the iso image . its located on another partition and i cant navigate to that partition in unetbootin
[05:38] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: the panel or a dock?
[05:38] <goodtime> what
[05:38] <VivekRp> Yes i am good in computers
[05:38] <Us3r_Unfriendly> goodtime: ?
[05:38] <r00t4rd3d> panel

[05:39] <r00t4rd3d> so i had 2 panels on top and one auto hide
[05:39] <VivekRp> @home So how should i fix it?
[05:39] <home> VivekRp: The problem will be solved in no time :D
[05:39] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: right click and just delete this panel
[05:39] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: it must have like 3 steps,  step 1 run netbootin,  step 2 select iso file to create, step 3 push create botton.
[05:39] <home> VivekRp: State your problem again?
[05:39] <goodtime> kernel parameter.?
[05:39] <r00t4rd3d> right click does nothing on the panel thats showing
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> r00t4rd3d: you can reset your panels to default and start again if you like
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> !panelreset | r00t4rd3d
[05:39] <Us3r_Unfriendly> goodtime: what command did you run to start this out?
[05:40] <VivekRp> home:  I have Ubuntu 9.10 & When i login using my username & password It automatically shows a black screen and again show's Ubuntu login screen.
[05:40] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: what does "sudo killall gnome-panel" do?
[05:40] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: ok step 1.9 sudo cp /path/to/iso/image  /path/you/can_reach
[05:40] <cargile> hi can someone show me show to fix the problem wit my file sharing?
[05:40] <kdas> Anyone know the technical reason of what marks a package as a "technical item" under ubuntu software center?
[05:40] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: does it reset it or is it the same?
[05:41] <home> VivekRp: Have you tried restarting your computer?
[05:41] <bonjoyee> goodtime:yes...when u start ubuntu..a grub menu comes up right?
[05:41] <Us3r_Unfriendly> kdas: nope
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> cargile: what is your issue?
[05:41] <VivekRp> Yes i tried to restart & even tried to fix using Recovery Mode. But its not working
[05:41] <goodtime> right
[05:41] <Us3r_Unfriendly> goodtime: when you bootup hold the shift key down and you should get the grub menu...
[05:42] <goodtime> ok
[05:42] <bonjoyee> on that screen press "e" ....and come down to the line that begins with "kernel" ...
[05:42] <r00t4rd3d_> what was that reset panel command again plz :D
[05:42] <home> VivekRp: can you try entering console mode?
[05:42] <mister_m> any screensavers with ubuntu?
[05:42] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d_:    i don't know if it resets it
[05:42] <bonjoyee> at the end of that line add radeon.modeset=0 and press ctrl+x to start
[05:42] <goodtime> brb
[05:42] <cargile> i can see files on other computers ,on the network but i get a permission error when i try to copy or play a song
[05:42] <VivekRp> home yes i am able to log in to console
[05:42] <chaospsychex> I took the Ubuntu ISO and put it onto a USB drive using the app "Startup Disk Creator". I need the space on the drive for something else. If I just copy the contents off the USB and put it on my hd will I be able to just copy the contents back and it still work as a Ubuntu USB bootable Install?
[05:43] <r00t4rd3d_> ahh it worked :D
[05:43] <j101> Anybody had any luck with RealVNC in Ubuntu 10?
[05:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d_:         sudo killall gnome-panel      should kill the panels but should let you right click them again atleast
[05:43] <home> VivekRp: I am not really sure on how to fix your problem. But whats your graphics card?
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> cargile: are they shared on win7 systems?
[05:43] <r00t4rd3d_> !panelreset | Us3r_Unfriendly
[05:43] <r00t4rd3d_> that worked
[05:44] <VivekRp> @home i have Nvidia Graphic card but dunno which one exactly.
[05:44] <cargile> no both ubuntu 10.10
[05:44] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: I don't think so
[05:44] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d_: sounds good
[05:44] <bonjoyee>  j101:why ? what issues u have?
[05:44] <r00t4rd3d_> reset them to default
[05:44] <home> VivekRp: Nice me too, do you install the propeirty driver when installing it in live?
[05:44] <cargile> i mean 1 10.10 and 1 10 4
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> cargile: ok how are the folders shared?

[05:44] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: but it only takes a few minuts to do steps 1 , 1.9, 2, 3 again when needed
[05:45] <home> VivekRp: LOL, I just realized I had the same type of problem as you with xubuntu 9.10
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> cargile: samba? FTP? SSHFS?

[05:45] <cargile> i marked them as shared
[05:45] <j101> Tried to install RealVNC server, but it appears that the needed libraries in Ubuntu 10 are too new, and will not work wit the current version of RealVNC.
[05:45] <cargile> yah samba
[05:45] <cargile>  i think
[05:45] <home> so much spam in this channel
[05:46] <bonjoyee>  j101: ubuntu has a vnc server installed already!!
[05:46] <Us3r_Unfriendly> home: what are you talking about spam?
[05:46] <VivekRp> @home Nope. I dont know what is it exactly.. But i am using Ubuntu from 14months. Before there was no problem. But from few dayssuddenly it is not working. I dint do anything.
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> cargile: so samba then. ok try:  sudo smbpasswd -a $USER   set the samba password the same as the users login password, you can now authenticate on the client side as $USER using the password you set, this is needed if you are sharing folders in user's homes from what I have seen
[05:46] <VivekRp> @home And i have installed Compiz. Is that making any problem?

[05:46] <Kiyiko> Heya >:/
[05:47] <cargile> o ok
[05:47] <j101> Yeah, I know, but my research group has a professional license for RealVNC so I would like to use that. It's not a big deal. I was just wondering if anyone had got it working, or new of an upcoming RealVNC release.
[05:47] <home> Us3r_Unfriendly: I am still not use to this irc... to much messages flowing in my head >.<
[05:47] <Us3r_Unfriendly> I need another monitor :(
[05:47] <Kiyiko> I am wondering if anyone knows what the livecd install password is :/
[05:47] <home> VivekRp: I am not so sure :/
[05:47] <home> VivekRp: gonna do some reasearch..
[05:47] <cargile> thanks
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> j101: ubuntu ships with vino which is a VNC server
[05:47] <cargile> ill try
[05:47] <Kiyiko> I am trying to make a filder share to backup files, and it installed the service, but said it has to restart the session to activate, or something
[05:48] <Diamondcite> Kiyiko: There is no password on the live cd
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> j101: I also found this: http://openthoughts.me/blog/2009/08/09/having-realvnc-work-on-ubuntu/
[05:48] <Kiyiko> so it restarts the session, and now wants a password to log in
[05:48] <Kiyiko> blank password is not doing it -.-
[05:48] <Diamondcite> Kiyiko: If you wish to do something with root please use "sudo command_here"
[05:48] <Us3r_Unfriendly> home: there's alot of ppl that need help.  Usually with wireless cards, X related, or ppl that like to fight in irc rooms lol
[05:48] <Diamondcite> Kiyiko: Err in that case.. try ubuntu
[05:48] <Kiyiko> huh?
[05:48] <Kiyiko> o
[05:48] <home> Us3r_Unfriendly: Yeah X -.-
[05:49] <Kiyiko> that not work either'
[05:49] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Kiyiko: why would you need a password for installing?
[05:49] <bonjoyee> j101: are compiling from source?
[05:49] <chaospsychex> usb file transfer is so slow
[05:49] <home> VivekRp: go to console and try to start gdm
[05:49] <chaospsychex> god help us
[05:49] <j101> Deb file
[05:49] <j101> Thanks, for the link. But that is just the viewer not the server.
[05:49] <Kiyiko> I installed windows share service, to share files to windows, and it asked to restart the session when it installed it
[05:49] <Kiyiko> but no worries =]
[05:49] <bonjoyee>  j101:any errors?
[05:49] <Kiyiko> I will just go the other way
[05:49] <home> :/
[05:50] <bonjoyee> messages?
[05:50] <home> I came here for help.... luls
[05:50] <Us3r_Unfriendly> lol home
[05:50] <j101> Yeah, library files are too new in Ubuntu 10.
[05:50] <Diamondcite> Kiyiko: Why are you sharing files via a liveCD?
[05:50] <Us3r_Unfriendly> home: what is your problem?
[05:50] <j101> From the googling that I did.
[05:50] <home> VivekRp: More info would be nice
[05:50] <frankcox777> VivekRp  i found 10.10 was lwss trouble
[05:50] <home> 10.10 is awsome
[05:51] <Kiyiko> my friend had malware kill his xp install, so I am booting up in ubuntu to move all his files to another computer, so I can safely format and reinstall windows on his laptop
[05:51] <home> user friendly: Why does your name have to be so long :/.. its so user unfriendly
[05:51] <j101> I'm using TightVNC now. It seems to be doing the job.
[05:51] <Us3r_Unfriendly> 10.10 is good but I think I like 10.04 32 more
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> j101: vnc is vnc so should be fine. ive heard of users having issues with vnc when the server is running compiz
[05:51] <home> I think 10.04 is more stable
[05:51] <frankcox777> I agee home , it is
[05:51] <Us3r_Unfriendly> atleast 10.04 is a lts
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> home: use tab to complete it
[05:51] <chaospsychex> why is more stable?
[05:51] <shcherbak> home: you can TAB us3<TAB>
[05:51] <Us3r_Unfriendly> so after 2012 happens I'll still be using 10.04
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> frankcox777: use tab to complete it
[05:51] <bonjoyee> j101: try sudo dpkg -i  nameofvnc.deb ..and see what exact errors are?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> frankcox777: type 'us' then press TAB
[05:52] <Diamondcite> Kiyiko: Instead of sharing that system, have that system access a shared windows folder.
[05:52] <j101> I'm not on the server right now.
[05:52] <Us3r_Unfriendly> chaospsychex: i have problems with 64 versus 32 alot more lately.  It's more stable seeing that it has been out longer
[05:52] <home> What :/
[05:52] <VivekRp> home,  what is command to start gdm
[05:52] <chaospsychex> im running 10.10 64
[05:52] <j101> Like I said, It's not a big deal. I was just curious. I'll just use another vnc server.
[05:52] <home> VivekRp: sudo gdm start
[05:53] <j101> Thanks, for the comments though.
[05:53] <home> VivekRp:  I personally like logging in without user login
[05:53] <chaospsychex> does unetbootin do any compression when it puts the files on the usb drive?
[05:53] <shcherbak> frankcox777: stange, run 10.10 in 3 machines, and any of them gave me any trouble...
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> home: you dont have o type ful nicks, just type the first few chars then hit TAB
[05:53] <frankcox777> I was not complaining about the  long names, I always use tab
[05:53] <Us3r_Unfriendly> home: you change your runlevel to run without X ?
[05:53] <home> ActionParsnip: Awsome
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> home: types it for you, so nicks with mixed case/numbers are a breeze
[05:53] <bonjoyee> chaospsychex:no
[05:53] <JCDG> hi friends, has anyone solved the issue with UNE and the gnome-power-manager error? it tries to hibernate the machine saying that the battery is low when in fact it is not...
[05:53] <frankcox777> why tell me?
[05:54] <cretx> hi guys
[05:54] <Us3r_Unfriendly> hey hey cretx
[05:54] <chaospsychex> bonjoyee: will the files put on the usb be larger than the file size of the iso ?
[05:54] <home> Us3r_Unfriendly: Well, not on ubuntu
[05:54] <frankcox777> 23:52:32 home: user friendly: Why does your name have to be so long .. its so user unfriendly
[05:54] <Us3r_Unfriendly> home: it can be done...   I thought that was what you were talking about
[05:54] <bonjoyee> chaospsychex: no...it just extract them to usb and them makes the usb bootable using syslinux
[05:55] <chaospsychex> what is syslinux?
[05:55] <home> frankbro: lol
[05:55] <frankcox777> tell homr
[05:55] <cretx> linux so
[05:55] <cretx> ?
[05:55] <frankcox777> home
[05:55] <VivekRp> again same problem. After providing password it restart
[05:55] <cretx>  myabe
[05:55] <frankcox777> lol
[05:55] <Us3r_Unfriendly> home: I'm almost 100% sure you can add a inittab to /etc/
[05:55] <bonjoyee> chaospsychex: u dont need to worry about that...unetbootin will take care of that
[05:56] <frankcox777> without auto complete terminal would be a drag
[05:56] <Us3r_Unfriendly> home: and it'll run from that...just like xorg.conf
[05:57] <home> Us3r_Unfriendly: sure...
[05:57] <chanux> I put a command that should run in su previleges in bashrc. But it says it doesn't have privileges. What should I do?
[05:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> no xorg.conf in Ubuntu these days?  I kinda need it for my card so usually i always have to generate it and edit it from there
[05:57] <home> Ok, I need help with tablets
[05:57] <bonjoyee> chaospsychex: syslinux (1)         - install the SYSLINUX bootloader on a FAT filesystem
[05:57] <home> Us3r_Unfriendly: generate it..
[05:57] <shcherbak> chanux: use root crontab?
[05:57] <cretx> hey  im  using  an  wireless usb rlt8187  and its not working good
[05:57] <bonjoyee> chaospsychex: man syslinux
[05:58] <cretx> any else have tis problem
[05:58] <cretx> ?
[05:58] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cretx: wireless card getting you down?
[05:58] <cretx> yes
[05:58] <Us3r_Unfriendly> home: and my first wireless card problem tonight
[05:58] <cretx>  and when i update
[05:58] <cretx>  the driver
[05:58] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cretx: what card are you using?
[05:58] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cretx: and driver?
[05:58] <chanux> shcherbak, well I did some changes to enable '200 line linux patch that make wonders' effect :D
[05:58] <cretx>  it doenst recognise it
[05:59] <home> chanux: how is it?
[05:59] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cretx: sudo lshw      <--------say anything about your w-card?
[05:59] <chanux> it used to work, but recently it gives an error, perhaps after the kernel update
[05:59] <shcherbak> chanux: you mean real patch or bash substitute?
[05:59] <chanux> I felt a difference.  This is the whole thing http://dpaste.com/288497/
[06:03] <home> 1 am.. luls
[06:03] <VivekRp> Error showing after "sudo gdm start" : there is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)
[06:03] <VivekRp> how to fix it
[06:03] <VivekRp> ?
[06:03] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cretx: so it's a "Realtek" model: "rtl818" or is rt818 the driver being used?
[06:03] <beemer> question, how do I change the default ownership of removable media?
[06:04] <cretx> is a realtek rtl8187
[06:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> beemer: chmod works for that situation
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> VivekRp: i've seen this before, let me search
[06:04] <shcherbak> chanux: you took fix from webupd8? have you used ubuntu method?
[06:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> beemer: man chmod       then use it were the usb device is mounted to
[06:04] <user__> hi people
[06:04] <user__> I need your help
[06:05] <chanux> shcherbak, yeah. I used the ubuntu method and it had no problems untly recently.
[06:05] <beemer> Us3r_Unfriendly: true, but what about whenever something is connected.. can I always have it default to a certin user or is it only who's running the window manager?
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> VivekRp: try: sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.default
[06:05] <user__> how do i setup a vpn on my laptop?
[06:05] <Us3r_Unfriendly> beemer: i believe so
[06:05] <ActionParsnip>  sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.default
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> VivekRp: sorry:  sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.default
[06:06] <beemer> hm ok
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> it's defaults  not default. irssi is being weird
[06:06] <VivekRp> Okay. Ill try
[06:06] <beemer> ok another question, how do I flip the orientation of the getty console?
[06:06] <beemer> my monitor is mounted upside down..
[06:07] <cretx> lol
[06:07] <linux_probe> o-O
[06:07] <Amitabha> to those who were helping me earlier, it is finally working and I thank you very much for your help
[06:07] <beemer> ive searched all over about this one
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> VivekRp: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf/+bug/269244   seems to say: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome-panel   sorts it
[06:07] <Us3r_Unfriendly> beemer: system>preferences>monitor     is what your looking for
[06:07] <bonjoyee> Amitabha: u mean the live usb?
[06:07] <Amitabha> yes
[06:07] <beemer> that doesn't effect the console though
[06:07] <bonjoyee> Amitabha: nice to hear
[06:07] <beemer> only xwindows
[06:07] <Us3r_Unfriendly> bonjoyee: oops misread
[06:08] <Us3r_Unfriendly> beemer: oops misread
[06:08] <beemer> ya np
[06:08] <Amitabha> thx bonjoyee
[06:08] <bonjoyee> Amitabha: by the way..what method worked?
[06:08] <Amitabha> using an older disk
[06:09] <Amitabha> the new disk would not work with the cd-rom driver (or whatever you call it)
[06:09] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cretx: which card is it?  The realtek rtl8187L, realtek rtl8187B, or realtek rtl8187SE
[06:09] <cretx> hey beemer how log is your monitor upside down
[06:09] <cretx> ?
[06:09] <shcherbak> chanux: what is error message?
[06:09] <Amitabha> so I burned ubuntu to an older disk
[06:10] <beemer> cretx: its physically upside down, so i told xwindows to flip 180 degrees, but console is still upside down
[06:10] <beemer> i wanted to know if there was an arg i could pass to getty or something to get it to flip vertically
[06:10] <bonjoyee> Amitabha: and then created a live-usb?
[06:10] <Us3r_Unfriendly> beemer: why is it physically upside down??
[06:10] <beemer> because thats the way it works best
[06:11] <beemer> it allowed me to screw the base of it and mount it to a shelf
[06:11] <cretx> im sure
[06:11] <Us3r_Unfriendly> beemer: i'm lost but okay...what ever floats your computer's boat
[06:11] <chanux> shcherbak, http://dpaste.com/288498/ (Not forwarding errors to /dev/null in first cmd)
[06:11] <cretx> lol
[06:11] <Amitabha> no, did not need to- it installed right off of the disk
[06:11] <bonjoyee> Amitabha: thats great..hope enjoy ubuntu!!
[06:11] <rana> hey new to ubuntu

[06:13] <Us3r_Unfriendly> rana: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rShwAB62qM&hd=1   this is wee-chat which is great along with irssi
[06:13] <r00t4rd3d> how xchat looks like default stinks
[06:13] <r00t4rd3d> you need to tweak it visually
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> rana: i use pidgin personally
[06:14] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: i mostly don't run gui's...I have all that on my desktop only for show so I don't get bored
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> rana: better is a personal opinion so you'll have to explore for yourself

[06:25] <Us3r_Unfriendly> i'm thinking of?
[06:26] <venilsurya> I copied some videos to an .iso and burned it to a dvd. Now I can play the .iso using SMPlayer, but not the DVD. What am I doing wrong?
[06:26] <shcherbak> Us3r_Unfriendly: yes, same one.
[06:26]  * shcherbak wonders who Us3r_Unfriendly is thinking about...
[06:26] <Us3r_Unfriendly> i doubt it...i thought she was too kewl for school
[06:26] <chanux> shcherbak, There was nothing in rc.local. Fixing now. Thanks a lot :)
[06:26] <dnivra> venilsurya, you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[06:26] <rana> its not working sudo: password: command not found
[06:26] <rana> thats what im geting
[06:26] <venilsurya> dnivra:Lemme check
[06:27] <r00t4rd3d> passwd
[06:27] <AbhiJit> venilsurya, burn it in dvd format
[06:27] <BacTalan> Quick question - Can I copy an entire Windows installation from one partition to another with sudo cp -R /dev/sdd1 /dev/sda3?
[06:27] <BacTalan> and if not, what would the easiest way be to do this?
[06:27] <r00t4rd3d> sudo passwd
[06:27] <shcherbak> chanux: not good, check loggs for overwrites... strange.
[06:27] <r00t4rd3d> rana
[06:27] <cretx> sudo passwd
[06:27] <venilsurya> Abhijit: How do I do that? I just burned an image onto the dvd!
[06:27] <cretx> not sudo password
[06:27] <shcherbak> Us3r_Unfriendly: who is pixie__ ???
[06:28] <Us3r_Unfriendly> sudo passwd use reset the password for the root account...this also can be achieved from a live cd
[06:28] <chanux> shcherbak, I thought this is possible with the kernel update.
[06:28] <Us3r_Unfriendly> shcherbak: nevermind
[06:28] <shcherbak> chanux: oh, yes, only explanation.
[06:28] <r00t4rd3d> if you do sudo passwd then you can su root :D
[06:28] <AbhiJit> venilsurya, select 'dvd' option in cd burning software
[06:28] <shcherbak> Us3r_Unfriendly: tell me! (please)
[06:28] <Us3r_Unfriendly> true
[06:28] <venilsurya> dnivra: It wasn't installed, I'm installing it now
[06:29] <venilsurya> Lemme check
[06:29] <Us3r_Unfriendly> shcherbak: youtube nixie pixel
[06:29] <dnivra> BacTalan, i don't think so. I think you'll need to mount them. but you may need to set boot flag too i guess.
[06:29] <dnivra> !dvd | venilsurya
[06:29] <shcherbak> Us3r_Unfriendly: hm? like HappySlip?
[06:29] <dnivra> venilsurya, read what ubottu gave you.
[06:29] <venilsurya> dnivra: OK, but I've played DVDs before
[06:29] <venilsurya> scherbak:
[06:29] <venilsurya> Yeah, did that
[06:30] <flt> i am a green hand what things should I do first for ubuntu
[06:30] <BacTalan> dnivra: Would setting the boot flag be the only thing I'd need to do after copying all of the files? (I assume cp would get everything it'd need?)
[06:30] <Us3r_Unfriendly> venilsurya:     mplayer dvd://    does this work?
[06:30] <r00t4rd3d> flt , break it
[06:30] <dnivra> BacTalan, no you'll need to update grub too i suppose. i've not really moved windows partitions; just deleted them :).
[06:31] <Us3r_Unfriendly> i wish my cat would be quiet
[06:31] <BacTalan> dnivra: Heh ;D
[06:31] <r00t4rd3d> sell it to china express
[06:31] <Us3r_Unfriendly> lol right
[06:31] <r00t4rd3d> :D
[06:31] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: that's the next step
[06:31] <BacTalan> I bought an SSD for a speed upgrade, but found that Ubuntu+HDD was about 90% as fast as Windows+SSD
[06:31] <shcherbak> Us3r_Unfriendly: cat miau > /dev/null
[06:31] <BacTalan> so Windows is being archived to the HDD and the SSD goes in my laptop
[06:31] <dnivra> BacTalan, but i guess it should be enough-mount the drives, copy the files, update grub. if it complains, you can try setting the boot flag too. worth a shot.
 It says encryptable dvd support unavailable. So I guess the missing packages were the problem
[06:32] <BacTalan> dnivra: Thanks :)
[06:32] <venilsurya> I'll try that as well as burning using the DVD option
[06:32] <dnivra> BacTalan, np :)
[06:32] <Us3r_Unfriendly> venilsurya: yes install the encrypted dvd packages
[06:32] <Us3r_Unfriendly> again
[06:33] <rana> ok all good now one more ? on windows for all of my media play back i used cccp so what can i use for ubuntu
[06:34] <cretx>  vpnc  with hotspotshield  not working properly  some  ideas
[06:34] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cretx: what is hotspot?  and why are you using the vpn?  torrents?
[06:35] <j_ayen_green> if I'm running 10.04 and LAMP on a laptop, and have been doing mail via thunderbird and my mail hoster's smtp, which option do I choose when installing postfix?
[06:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> rana: cccp codecs?
[06:35] <rana> yes
[06:35] <venilsurya> Us3r_Unfriendly,dnivra,shcherbak: It will take me half and hour to test it out. Thanks for the help. I'll be back if I need anything else :)
[06:35] <dnivra> rana, i think vlc would do most of what cccp did.
[06:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> rana: gstreamer is awesome for video codecs
[06:35] <cretx> hotspot  is a wireless service
[06:35] <lameron> hey all
[06:35] <sun_> aa
[06:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> rana: open up ubuntu software center and type in codec
[06:35] <cretx>  and im  a sick of segurity
[06:36] <dnivra> hey lameron :)
[06:36] <Us3r_Unfriendly> you should be able to install gstreamer from there...you might need most of them
[06:38] <Guest52354> clear

[06:38] <itai_michaelson> hi, i installed minefield 4.0 alongside firefox in karmic and everything was fine, but in the last update firefox suddenly became Namoroka Browser (minefield is still there) , is there anyway to roll back to regular firefox ?
[06:38] <lameron> ?

[06:40] <cretx> thanks
[06:40] <zosky> hey yall
[06:40] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cretx and you'll probably need the program called "BUM" from the repos too
[06:41] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cretx: "BUM" is bootup manager for services and rc related stuff
[06:41] <dnivra> hey zosky
[06:41] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cretx: it's a gui so it's okay
[06:42] <cretx> boom is bootup manager?
[06:42] <cretx> sorry

[06:42] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cretx: no "BUM"
[06:42] <zosky> am doing a release upgrade on a minimal install... all going smooth, but its just started counting (for no obvious reason) ? the last line shows ":##" now @ 97 ... oh now it wants me to remove 90 obsolete packages
[06:42] <Us3r_Unfriendly> !info BUM
[06:42] <cretx> is it?
[06:42] <nirazio> I'd like Software Center, Update Manager and some other system management applications to work without asking for password (like sudo does if configured with NOPASSWD) but only asking for a confirmation instead, or even without any confirmation. At the same time I wouldn't like to use no user password et all. Is this reachable?
[06:42] <dnivra> !info bum
[06:43] <dnivra> Us3r_Unfriendly, is that what you meant?
[06:43] <rana> anyway to remote in to my windows p

[06:47] <Amitabha> hello- i am trying to use a ralink wireless usb adapter and am having some troubles setting this up
[06:47] <Amitabha> it comes with a disk but it is not helpfull at all
[06:48] <Us3r_Unfriendly> i was saying the i wasn't lol-ing at rana for her question.  And I was saying I thought for a minute it wasn't in the repos anymore.  For everyone it still is in the repos to be clear
[06:48] <nirazio> How to prevent system applications like the Software Center from asking for password?
[06:48] <Amitabha> also I have opened a program that emulates windows usb drivers

[06:49] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Amitabha: some kind of wrapper
[06:49] <cretx>  yes
[06:49] <dnivra> Us3r_Unfriendly, oh! okay i see-I didn't see that.
[06:49] <niklasfi> hi... i think an install in software center crashed. what can i do now?

[06:50] <[wito]> hello guys
[06:50] <[wito]> so I
[06:50] <[wito]> 'm using far too small a keyboard...
[06:50] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Amitabha: that's the command line version i was telling cretx, the gui version of that is called ndisgtk
[06:50] <dnivra> !enter | [wito]
[06:50] <cretx> i was going to buy one of those adapter
[06:50] <Us3r_Unfriendly> !info ndisgtk
[06:51] <miststlkr> stupid noob question, how can I install programs to a location other than the default location?  I built this system with a small SSD for the OS and a large array for storage but everything has gone onto the SSD and now I'm running into issues...
[06:51] <cretx>  but   if you
[06:51] <cretx> are having problems
[06:51] <[wito]> Full sentence, now: I'm running a full-disk encryption, so I'm trying to get rid of a few password checks on my system.
[06:51] <miststlkr> could that be solved by just moving the home directory off to the array?
[06:51] <[wito]> How can I disable the password check for authorized tasks?
[06:52] <[wito]> dnivra: Yeah, sorry about that, not used to the size of this keyboard, hit enter by accident.
[06:52] <dnivra> [wito], np. you'd have been warned by floodbot if you hit one more enter :)

[06:55] <shcherbak> chaospsychex: cp or mv
[06:56] <niklasfi> user__: there is a button configure vpn there. tough i have never used it. do you want to connect to your own vpn or is this a larger one of a uni or something
[06:56] <niklasfi> hi... i think an install in software center crashed. what can i do now? (kate is stuck at 50%)
[06:57] <user__> niklasfi, i mean to localize it to encrypt my communications if on a public network
[06:57] <dnivra> user__, you can check openvpn out. their website has a very good help on how to set up.
[06:57] <chaospsychex> shcherbak: ? I want to see the status of whats transfering via usb
[06:58] <shcherbak> chaospsychex: you mean file, or running application?
[06:58] <cretx> user why dont you use hotspotshield
[06:58] <dnivra> chaospsychex, i believe wireshark can capture USB interfaces. if you are interested. I've not managed to get it to work but few other i've run into have.
[06:58] <shcherbak> chaospsychex: what type of usb device?
[06:58] <cretx> from anchor
[06:59] <chaospsychex> it's an ipod touch converted to a usb mass storage device
[06:59] <user__> cretx, I think it isn't compatible wih ubuntu though
[06:59] <chaospsychex> im transfering a 3.3gb file with unetbootin and i want to see if its still transfering the file
[06:59] <cretx> i can use it  with  vpnc
[07:00] <chaospsychex> dnirva: wireshark?
[07:00] <shcherbak> chaospsychex: oh, one moment
[07:00] <user__> cretx,  how did u manage that?
[07:00] <cretx> it works fine for me
[07:00] <cretx>  before
[07:00] <chaospsychex> k
[07:00] <cretx> usert
[07:00] <cretx>  fist get vpnc
[07:00] <chaospsychex> its been stopped on the file for 15mins
[07:01] <cretx> then config it with ipsec  hotspotshield for iphone
[07:01] <cretx> it works fine
[07:01] <dnivra> !info wireshark | chaospsychex
[07:02] <dnivra> chaospsychex, although it is used to primary analyze network traffic, it supports USB in latest version i have with me.
[07:02] <chaospsychex> im installing
[07:03] <chaospsychex> dnirva: i need to install the version you have?
[07:03] <dnivra> chaospsychex, which version of ubuntu are you running? 10.10?
[07:03] <chaospsychex> yeah 10.10
[07:04] <chaospsychex> the file is still transfering ,just very very slowly
[07:04] <chaospsychex> how fast does usb support? 100MB/sec ?
[07:04] <dnivra> chaospsychex, i thought you wanted to see if it was transferring still?
[07:05] <chaospsychex> i did,but a realtime status would be cool
[07:05] <chaospsychex> what do i need to do?
[07:05] <dnivra> chaospsychex, well wireshark doesn't give you the transfer speed i can tell you that.
[07:05] <shcherbak> chaospsychex: nothing better came to my head than scan files on ipod for modification time
[07:05] <nirazio> In the keyboard configuration (gnome-keyboard-properties) under "Behavior of Alt/Windows keys", there is an option "Add default action to the Menu key". What does that even mean, and why isn't it documented anywhere?
[07:06] <beemer> do they mean the windows key?
[07:06] <shcherbak> chaospsychex: put it in loop and wait for changes... what have you installed on ipod?
[07:06] <dnivra> chaospsychex, check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1372194. hope it helps.
[07:06] <chaospsychex> shcherbak: a program called "usb drive"

[07:07] <shcherbak> you booted pc from ipod? nice.

[07:38] <luxurymode> Hey all. I have both windows and ubuntu installed on my computer. Can I use virtual box to run an ALREADY-INSTALLED version of dinows?
[07:43] <chaospsychex> i used unetbootin to make a usb bootable and it didnt work when i tried to boot from it. it just said syslinux at the top
[07:45] <bonjoyee> chaospsychex: try System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator

[07:45] <nirazio> How to disable password authentication for software centre???
[07:45] <Myrtti> nirazio: with great difficulty and less security
[07:45] <luxurymode> r00t4rd3d: eh? lol
[07:46] <bonjoyee> nirazio: when the password window pops up...check the box that says..save password to keyring
[07:47] <r00t4rd3d> luxurymode, you need to do something like this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx
[07:48] <luxurymode> r00
[07:48] <r00t4rd3d> luxurymode, then convert the VHD to VHI with this http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22422#p98235
[07:48] <luxurymode> r00t4rd3d: thanks. i think im just gonna keep it easy and run my win 7 boot install in the VB
[07:48] <bonjoyee> nirazio: however...when u are logged in, all the graphical root password prompts will be bypassed...
[07:48] <r00t4rd3d> so you can run in a vb
[07:49] <r00t4rd3d> luxurymode, so your answer is yes but its a pain.
[07:49] <r00t4rd3d> well 2 steps and time
[07:49] <luxurymode> r00t4rd3d: lol exactly
[07:50] <bonjoyee> nirazio:  i.e if someone else logs into your normal account..he/she will not need the password to do such things as well
[07:50] <nirazio> bonjoyee: I am the only user
[07:50] <bonjoyee> nirazio: however when doing things from terminal...u will still need to enter the superuser password
[07:51] <sunit> I cannot open website from ubuntu machine
[07:51] <bonjoyee> nirazio: did it work?
[07:51] <nit-wit> sunit, your own site or one in general link?
[07:52] <nirazio> bonjoyee: I have edited the sudoers file and added a line to to prevent it asking for password
[07:52] <nirazio> bonjoyee: But however it's not working when i install softwares from software center..
[07:52] <sunit> I can not open web application with http:// <ip>:8180/application from remote machine
[07:53] <sunit> though it's opening with http://localhost:8180/applicaion in ubuntu
[07:53] <bonjoyee> nirazio: thats a big security hole.....in my opinion...for software center u will have to save the password to keyring as I said
[07:53] <sunit> please help me
[07:54] <nit-wit> sunit, that I have no clue
[07:54] <sunit> nit-wit, ok
[07:54] <nirazio> bonjoyee: There is no save password to keyring
[07:54] <Kingcope> sunit, disable firewall perhaps
[07:55] <sunit> Ok let me check
[07:55] <Kingcope> are you behind a router?
[07:55] <bonjoyee> nirazio: anything that says "save password"?
[07:56] <Kingcope> sunit: if you are behind a router you must add a rule into that router
[07:57] <sunit> Actually localhost works but replacing with IP does not work
[07:57] <Kingcope> it's a router thing
[07:57] <nirazio> bonjoyee: No

[08:24] <Myrtti> back to Ubuntu support issues, people
[08:24] <Myrtti> circus is that --> way
[08:24] <soreau> Indeed. So Ive got one..
[08:24] <soreau> General question: I have a bluetooth headset with up/down volume buttons and skip/back buttons -  it works great. But I use lastfm application and it has a play/stop button and a skip button and I wanted to somehow see if I could figure out a way to make the skip/back buttons on the headset operate the lastfm buttons. I'm thinking possibly xdotool though I've never used it before
[08:25] <soreau> Searching for suggestions
[08:25] <root> gj6
[08:26] <soreau> The forward/back buttons are indeed recognized and work in totem for moving between segments in dvds
[08:26] <prakriti> how can I remove a package that has already been removed?   I want it out of apt but the remove scripts do not exist so i just want it gone from the db.
[08:26] <soreau> I just want to know how to use it for an arbitrary program like lastfm that doesnt seem to directly support xevents for its gui play/stop and skip button
[08:27] <soreau> ISTR lastfm having a CLI interface too though not sure how (or if) it works with the gui
[08:28] <cg_cnu> Can some one help me on how to disable alt + right click in ubuntu 10.10. I am using blender and when ever I use alt + right click in blender The whole window is moving instead of only viewport.
[08:28] <soreau> cg_cnu: Which window manager are you using?
[08:28] <cg_cnu> gnome.
[08:28] <soreau> gnome is a desktop environment, not a window manager
[08:28] <soreau> metacity and compiz are window managers
[08:29] <soreau> kwin is a window manager
[08:29] <cg_cnu> soreau, I just installed the default ubuntu 10.10. I don't know which windows manager exists in it.
[08:29] <soreau> xfce and kde are desktop environments
[08:29] <prakriti> aha!
[08:29] <prakriti> nevermind
[08:30] <soreau> cg_cnu: What does this say from terminal: ps ax|egrep "metacity|compiz"
[08:30] <nirazio> What method of authentication Does software-center use?
[08:30] <cg_cnu> soreau, I will check....
[08:30] <soreau> nirazio: What do you mean?
[08:31] <stewart_> #join /git
[08:31] <nirazio> soreau: Software center uses authentication for installing passwords right??What type of authentication it is??
[08:32] <stewart_> oops
[08:32] <soreau> nirazio: Installing passwords?
[08:32] <nirazio> soreau: Software center uses authentication for installing softwares right??What type of authentication it is??
[08:32] <soreau> nirazio: Its likely similar to gksudo, why?
[08:32] <cg_cnu> soreau, here is the link....http://paste.ubuntu.com/545855/
[08:32] <struan> hi - is there solution for slow-opera-phenomenon?
[08:33] <C00re> yea, install google chrome :)
[08:33] <C00re> or firefox :)
[08:33] <nirazio> soreau: Is it possible to disable that authentication??
[08:33] <soreau> cg_cnu: Cool you are running compiz. I will give a series of instructions now, pay close attention.
[08:33] <cg_cnu> soreau, ok.......pls...
[08:33] <struan> C00re, thanks ._.
[08:34] <C00re> sorry, had no good answer :p
[08:34] <geirha> nirazio: Should be, yes, though it's complicated.
[08:34] <struan> haven't thought of THAT ;D
[08:35] <soreau> cg_cnu: First, install simple-ccsm and compizconfig-settings-manager. Then go to sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects and select Custom. Next, start ccsm (sys>prefs>ccsm) and navigate to Move Window plugin (type move in the filter box in the upper left of ccsm) and click on move plugin. Change (or disable) Initiate Move there
[08:36] <soreau> done.
[08:36] <cg_cnu> soreau: On my way.....
[08:37] <Goofy> just a point of confirmation? Can a VPN setup be run on a single standalone machine?
[08:37] <steven> does someone know if there a install for finding people
[08:38] <cg_cnu> soreau: do i need to install both or one of them...
[08:38] <jmad980> steven: what do you mean by "finding people"?
[08:38] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[08:38] <soreau> cg_cnu: Read my instructions carefully
[08:40] <steven> jmad980:i looking for my dad and i thought there could be a add on
[08:40] <cg_cnu> soreau: sorry I am a noob in linux.  In terminal you would do sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm compizconfig-settings-manager
[08:41] <cg_cnu> soreau: I am going for terminal.
[08:43] <cg_cnu> soreau: got it.
[08:44] <kevin__> thanks root
[08:44] <kevin__> i got my wireless working
[08:44] <r00t4rd3d> lol you get it going ?
[08:44] <kevin__> yeah
[08:44] <kevin__> thanks ttyl
[08:44] <r00t4rd3d> k , later
[08:45] <cg_cnu> soreau: how to get move window plugin....there is no filter option.
[08:46] <soreau> cg_cnu: You probably started simple-ccsm instead of ccsm. In the menu, ccsm is called CompizConfig Settings Manager
[08:47] <soreau> cg_cnu: Or, just run ccsm in your terminal as user
[08:47] <r00t4rd3d> its listed under Window Management in CCSM
[08:47] <cg_cnu> soreau: oh.........thank you. Exactly i did the same.
[08:48] <cg_cnu> soreau: now how to remove the move.....?
[08:48] <r00t4rd3d> just uncheck it
[08:48] <soreau> cg_cnu: Read my instructions carefully
[08:48] <soreau> r00t4rd3d: No
[08:48] <soreau> Do not uncheck the plugin or else you wont be able to move any window
[08:49] <cg_cnu> soreau: do I have to disable both.....
[08:49] <soreau> cg_cnu: No
[08:49] <soreau> cg_cnu: Just initiate window for the mouse icon, the one that has set Alt_Button1
[08:50] <soreau> cg_cnu: Button1 is left click
[08:50] <soreau> you can change it to any binding you want or just disable it
[08:51] <cg_cnu> soreau: its still not working.......do I have to restart.
[08:51] <soreau> ! work | cg_cnu
[08:51] <soreau> It should take effect immediately if you changed or disabled it correctly
[08:52] <soreau> cg_cnu: Otherwise, restart compiz by going back to sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects and selecting None (to start metacity) then Custom again (to restart compiz)
[08:52] <cg_cnu> soreau: oh.......sorry man. I again opened blender and checkd it. I am facing the same problem which I told in the begining. Do I have to restart the pc.
[08:52] <cg_cnu> soreau: ok ok.....i will do.
[08:53] <soreau> cg_cnu: If it still does not work, screen shot the move settings window and post it to picpaste.com
[08:53] <cg_cnu> soreau: ok.....i will.
[08:55] <Vardan>  from where can I get all glibc supported locales list?

[09:02] <NekoIncardine> Good evening. I am a user having issues finding the exact methods on how to solve an error that seems to have occured in a rash recently, related to my /dev/sda5 partition (UNR 10.10 root partition) having become read-only due to a failure.
[09:02] <Guest63147> clear
[09:02] <lazycat> what
[09:03] <soreau> Amitabha: Does iwconfig show an interface for it?
[09:03] <NekoIncardine> The problem is, my attempts to run fsck on /dev/sda5 have been giving me the "Device or Resource busy" error... And trying 'sudo umount /dev/sda5' does not help.
[09:03] <Amitabha> what is iwconfig?
[09:03] <NekoIncardine> (I am on the problem machine via a live USB; this is my Windows box, right next to it.)
[09:03] <Myrtti> NekoIncardine: is it mounted and used?
[09:03] <r00t4rd3d> Amitabha, post #2 is what im trying
[09:03] <r00t4rd3d> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1208438
[09:03] <NekoIncardine> Myrtti: It should not be as I am running via LiveUSB, and when I attempt umount, it claims that it is not mounted.
[09:03] <Myrtti> NekoIncardine: if it is, you can try to make a file called "forcefsck" on the root of the partition filesystem and reboot
[09:04] <Myrtti> NekoIncardine: it should do a fsck on reboot if that file exists
[09:04] <NekoIncardine> Sadly, attempting to mount it through the disk utility or file manager does not work. Here I'll try so I can get the error message.
[09:04] <soreau> Amitabha: Iwconfig is a command you run in your terminal. Try reading this here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1378782&highlight=148f:3070

[09:09] <soreau> cg_cnu: Blander hates you then I guess. Try selecting None from the visual effects tab and see if it helps at all
[09:10] <shrikanth> @soreau http://pastebin.com/X17ay3rp
[09:10] <soreau> cg_cnu: Oh.. in that case you need to make sure to select Custom and reset the Move settings

[09:18] <replicasex> I installed dockbarx fine ... but I can't figure out how to launch it :\  I get the preferences dialogue in app menu but no way to launch it :\
[09:18] <shriekout> ?
[09:19] <nit-wit> era878, also at the login screen there is a button after you choose or type you name for desktop choice, are you sure it is the netbook verson?
[09:19] <era878> yes
[09:19] <pk_> as soon as i give passwd command it asks for an old password
[09:19] <era878> it says "no propietary drivers are in use on this system"
[09:19] <NekoIncardine> Okay.... I just reset the LiveUSB Ubuntu, load Disk Utility immediately, click on the 12 GB ext4 that is /dev/sda5, and click Check Filesystem. It reports that "File System is NOT clean."
[09:19] <Kingcope> shriekout: what are you trying to do actually?
[09:20] <nit-wit> era878,  this command in the terminal will identify the graphic card   lspci | grep VGA
[09:20] <era878> okay
[09:20] <Weazel> replicasex: tbh, i'd suggest AWN-lucido much better imo
[09:20] <soreau> NekoIncardine: Try running fsck on it?
[09:20] <fpietka> #dev
[09:20]  * NekoIncardine attempts.
[09:20] <Kingcope> pk_: you need to have root priviledges in order to avoid the old password
[09:20] <Weazel> replicasex: anyways trying to look for it in accessories
[09:21] <replicasex> Weazel, I'm just using it for fun -- but no need, apparently I have to add it to a panel ?
[09:21] <pk_> Kingcope: can't i change the password of my own account?
[09:21] <Amitabha> i am lost
[09:21] <Amitabha> that is code that you just posted?
[09:21] <NekoIncardine> First attempt: I forgot to put in sudo DERP. Second attempt: "Device or resoucre busy whitle trying to open /dev/sda5/"
[09:21] <soreau> Amitabha: Can you post a screenshot of your desktop to picpaste.com?
[09:21] <era878> where can i find the "|"key?
[09:22] <NekoIncardine> This is weird because it's running on LiveUSB (or at least SHOULD be), and is not reporting as mounted when I attempt umount
[09:22] <Weazel> era878: shift \
[09:22] <lept0n> pk:passwd
[09:22] <era878> okay
[09:23] <pk_> lept0n: it asks for old password ...all i have is private key
[09:23] <NekoIncardine> http://paste.ubuntu.com/545859/
[09:23] <replicasex> well that was misleading
[09:23] <NekoIncardine> That shows the results so far.
[09:24] <Kingcope> pk_: how did you logged in into the account?
[09:24] <era878> after typing "lspci | grep VGA" terminal says " 00:02 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
[09:24] <soreau> era878: Shift+\ right above the Enter key on most boards
[09:24] <pk_> Kingcope: using my ssh key
[09:26] <soreau> NekoIncardine: sudo umount /dev/sda5 && sudo fsck /dev/sda5
[09:26] <era878> nit-wit, after typing "lspci | grep VGA" terminal says "00:02 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)"
[09:26] <nightcrow> hiya
[09:26] <nightcrow> does anyone know whats the difference between update-grub and update-grub2?
[09:26] <nightcrow> i have both those files
[09:26] <NekoIncardine> http://paste.ubuntu.com/545860/ umount does not work, sadly.
[09:26] <Amitabha> i went to pic post- do I have to take a picture with a camera or can it be done some other way?
[09:26] <NekoIncardine> "not mounted"
[09:26] <soreau> NekoIncardine: You never want to run fsck on a mounted filesystem - you need to unmount it first (with umount)
[09:26] <leggolaas> see ya dudes
[09:26] <rambo> !list
[09:27] <nit-wit> era878, did you look in the menu-system-admin-additional drivers
[09:27] <soreau> Amitabha: The print screen button on your keyboard..
[09:27] <NekoIncardine> soreau: umount does not report it as mounted!
[09:27] <Jordan_U> nightcrow: If you "cat /usr/sbin/update-grub2" you'll see it just runs update-grub.
[09:27] <era878> yes it couldnt find any
[09:27] <nightcrow> thanks Jordan_U
[09:27] <Jordan_U> nightcrow: You're welcome.
[09:27] <soreau> NekoIncardine: Pastebin the output of mount, followed by sudo fsck /dev/sda5
[09:27] <kontagious> how do i automatically mount a NTFS partitian at startup? is it /etc/fstab?
[09:28] <era878> nit-wit, it says "no propietary drivers are in use on this system"
[09:28] <cg_cnu> soreau: sorry i am facing the same problem. Even though I selected custom in the settings they are going back to normal.
[09:28] <soreau> kontagious: Yes
[09:28] <nit-wit> era878, I would reboot it or logout to the login in window and type or choose your name and check the buttons for the netbook desktop.
[09:28] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: I am having trouble with my grub
[09:28] <nightcrow> running ubuntu 10.04 the tikmeout doesnt appear
[09:28] <nightcrow> ^timeout
[09:29] <nightcrow> it waits for a user entry
[09:29] <kontagious> so the line i add would be: NTFS /storage NTFS NTFS DEFAULTS 0 0
[09:29] <nit-wit> nightcrow, only one os what else s on there
[09:29] <kontagious> (this is memory from my first semester linux class)
[09:29] <nightcrow> i have edited /etc/default/grub
[09:29] <nightcrow> nit-wit: yes - one OS
[09:29] <soreau> cg_cnu: I dont understand that. When you disable Initiate Move, it should take effect immediately no matter what setting. Alternatively use metacity but I dont know how to disable Alt+Left Click with it (perhaps sys>prefs>keyboard preferences)
[09:29] <nightcrow> it was deployed with an image from clonezilla
[09:29] <nit-wit> nightcrow, edited the time out to what
[09:29] <nightcrow> to 3
[09:30] <nightcrow> i have also commented out the default timeout
[09:30] <era878> nit-wit, at the bottom of the screen it says "Ubuntu Desktop Edition" how can I install the netbook edition?
[09:30] <sin_tax> As a rule, does ATi or nVidia usually have better drivers for Ubuntu?
[09:30] <nit-wit> nightcrow, are you just not seeing grub
[09:30] <nightcrow> i have tried quite a few variations - but no avial
[09:30] <nightcrow> im seeing it - but without a timeout
[09:30] <NekoIncardine> http://paste.ubuntu.com/545862/
[09:30] <nightcrow> waits for me to press enter to select a kernel
[09:30] <replicasex> Weazel, how do I install lucido?  I have AWN on here, fresh install.  the instructions I followed (webupd8) were for avant-lucido :
[09:30] <kontagious> era878: you want the unity shell
[09:30] <nightcrow> but its a brand new install
[09:30] <cg_cnu> soreau: ok........i will try...Thanks for your time. I will see it.
[09:30] <soreau> sin_tax: ATI. And they are officially now known as Radeon. ATI name has been dropped since AMD bout them
[09:30] <nightcrow> im thinking that maybe clonezilla messed someone up
[09:31] <Jordan_U> nightcrow: Can you pastebin the contents of /boot/grub/grubenv?
[09:31] <nightcrow> also, i have tried with startup-manager
[09:31] <KoNvIcT> do anyone know how i can get to forewall and disable it
[09:31] <nit-wit> era878, I'm not sure to tell you the truth it is the unity desktop
[09:31] <soreau> bought*
[09:31] <Weazel> replicasex: just a sec, let me find u the thread i followed, really simple step by step
[09:31] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: i cant :( its on a seperate network that isnt connected to the internet
[09:31] <sin_tax> soreau, yeah, force of habit on the name... =] thanks
[09:31] <era878> nit-wit, what ?
[09:31] <kontagious> soreau: does this line look right to you?: NTFS /storage NTFS NTFS DEFAULTS 0 0
[09:31] <soreau> kontagious: No
[09:31] <Jordan_U> nightcrow: Look in that file and see if you see "recordfail" there.
[09:31] <kontagious> <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass> right?
[09:31] <replicasex> Weazel, nevermind, I'm just an idiot :)
[09:32] <yop129> why isn't truecrypt in the repos?
[09:32] <nit-wit> nightcrow, did you remove any of these   ##
[09:32] <Weazel> replicasex: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/awn-lucido-gets-its-own-ppa.html   anyways, if someone else is in need :D
[09:32] <soreau> kontagious: Something like this:  /dev/sda1	/mnt/sda1	ntfs-3g				0	0
[09:32] <nightcrow> nope
[09:32] <nit-wit> era878, I don't know how, and the netbook desktop is called unity
[09:32] <KoNvIcT> errr uhhhm
[09:33] <kontagious> 1st token has to be file system does it not?
[09:33] <era878> nit-wit, is there a way to solve this problem
[09:34] <Amitabha> picpaste.com/Screenshot-1-uX2XbSKE.png
[09:34] <era878> nit-wit, when i logout it says ubuntu desktop edition, not ubuntu netbook edition
[09:34] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: i just see loads of ###################
[09:34] <nightcrow> in that file
[09:34] <NekoIncardine> soreau: And I realized you probably meant for me to type in ONLY mount so: http://paste.ubuntu.com/545864
[09:34] <nightcrow> int /boot/grub/grubenv
[09:34] <nit-wit> era878, do you hava link to the cd you downloaded
[09:34] <nightcrow> nit-wit: i didnt remove any
[09:35] <yop129> why idn't truecrypt in the ubuntu repos?
[09:35] <era878> nit-wit, http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download
[09:35] <Jordan_U> nightcrow: That's normal. But it means that the reason for no timeout wasn't what I suspected.
[09:35] <soreau> Amitabha: The up and down arrow pair is what you should be looking at.. when you click on it, does it show the wifi APs?
[09:35] <nightcrow> ok Jordan_U
[09:35] <nightcrow> :-/
[09:35] <nikre> How can i control fan speed? I use ubuntu 10.10 64bit.
[09:36] <Jordan_U> nightcrow: What is the value of the various GRUB*_TIMEOUT= variables in /etc/default/grub ?
[09:36] <kennetham> hi does anybody have any idea how to set socks proxy in terminal shell
[09:36] <soreau> NekoIncardine: Have you tried rebooting? It seems sda5 is in a funky state there
[09:36] <Amitabha> if, by aps you mean wireless networks, yes
[09:36] <NekoIncardine> soreau: By my count, seven times.
[09:36] <pfui> is there an equivalent of debian tasksel's laptop task in ubuntu?
[09:37] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: checking
[09:37] <soreau> Amitabha: Ok so just connect to one. I dont understand what your problem is
[09:37] <replicasex> Weazel, this is very nice, though I miss the lively zoom effect of docky.  What applets (besides the main menu, notification area stuff) do you recommend?
[09:37] <kennetham> i have a proxy server. but my terminal have not been connected to socks proxy. the network proxy is enabled. but how can i set the socks proxy on terminal as well?
[09:37] <NekoIncardine> soreau: Currently I am on a liveUSB. Do you want me to do anything specific before/after restarting?
[09:37] <nit-wit> era878, thats the netbook version, not really sure use the Ubuntu forums for help as well, I have to crash.
[09:37] <soreau> NekoIncardine: Not sure what is wrong then. Try asking in ##linux for more technical support
[09:37] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: 0, true, 10
[09:37] <era878> okay
[09:38] <NekoIncardine> Curse you overflow channels!
[09:39] <Weazel> replicasex: well, if u are a theme lover like me, i can show u my desktop and u decide how AWN can be intergrated with coolness :D  -- > http://img17.imageshack.us/g/desktop1u.png/
[09:39] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: those are respective in the order that they are location in grub
[09:39] <Jordan_U> nightcrow: Then it really should load an entry automatically. Can you try once more just to be sure? (it may be still related to recordfail, but an intermittent problem).
[09:39] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: sure
[09:39] <era878> can anyone tell me why my ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition looks like the desktop edition?
[09:39] <nightcrow> will let you know when it boots
[09:40] <Rickardo1> I need to know how to use server 1 as a gateway..  I can connect to internet from this one and on the server behind this I configure network interface with the server1´s ip as gateway.. do I need to activate something on server1?
[09:40] <NekoIncardine> THank you for the assistance you have attempted to provide, soreau. I'll try the suggested channel now.
[09:40] <delta-class> I have two sets of identical files, but with different folder structures. How can I copy one folder structure onto the other without copying the files?
[09:40] <Jordan_U> era878: Probably because you don't have 3D accelleration (which is required for the netbook interface).
[09:40] <soreau> NekoIncardine: No problem.
[09:40] <alesan> hi, how do I find all the packages that depend on a given library?
[09:40] <kennetham> hi does anyone knows how to set socks proxy in ubuntu terminal? network proxy set for web browsers but terminal does not seem to take effect.
[09:40] <kennetham> please advise
[09:41] <yop129> why isn't truecrypt in the ubuntu repos?
[09:41] <era878> Jordan-U, to get 3D acceleration would it require drivers or a new video card
[09:41] <soreau> era878: Which gpu do you have?
[09:41] <Jordan_U> yop129: licensing issues.
[09:41] <era878> soreau, what is gpu?
[09:41] <soreau> era878: lspci|grep VGA
[09:41] <yop129> Jordan_U, hmm, weird, so do i need ot get it from their site?
[09:41] <soreau> era878: gpu = Graphics Processing Unit
[09:41] <Jordan_U> era878: Drivers (though you may be unlucky enough that there are no working 3D drivers for your card).
[09:42] <era878> okay
[09:42] <era878> Jordan_U, do you think I could get the 3D drivers from the intel website?
[09:43] <era878> soreau, after typing "lspci | grep VGA" terminal says "00:02 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)"
[09:43] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: still doesnt work
[09:43] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: waits for me to press enter
[09:43] <delta-class> I have two sets of identical files, but with different folder structures. How can I copy one folder structure onto the other without copying the files?
[09:44] <kennetham> hi does anyone knows how to set socks proxy in ubuntu terminal? network proxy set for web browsers but terminal does not seem to take effect. somebody please advise...
[09:44] <student> fg
[09:44] <soreau> era878: Oh that kinda sucks but you still should have 3D acceleration.. what does glxinfo|grep renderer say? (and what problem are you having exactly?)
[09:45] <replicasex> Weazel, gonna stick with docky I think though the lucido style was really nice :)
[09:45] <era878> soreau, my netbook install looks like the desktop edition
[09:45] <Weazel> replicasex:  :D
[09:45] <soreau> era878: Why is that a problem?
[09:45] <prymal> era878: it's the same destkop environment just cut down install
[09:46] <soreau> era878: Are you sure you installed from the correct ubuntu image?
[09:46] <era878> soreau, yes
[09:46] <era878> soreau, i have all the unity packages
[09:46] <delta-class> I have two sets of identical files, but with different folder structures. How can I copy one folder structure onto the other without copying the files?
[09:47] <era878> soreau, glxinfo says that "glxinfo is currently not installed"
[09:47] <soreau> Why does no one ever see through that?
[09:47] <soreau> You have to install it to use it :P
[09:48] <hutanting> 有
[09:48] <era878> soreau, glxinfo says" OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer"
[09:49] <soreau> era878: Ok that means your drivers are broken. Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to pastebin.com
[09:49] <era878> soreau, one second
[09:49] <hutanting> o
[09:50] <soreau> ! ch | hutanting
[09:50] <soreau> ugh
[09:50] <delta-class> I have two sets of identical files, but with different folder structures. How can I copy one folder structure onto the other without copying the files?
[09:51] <soreau> ! ja | hutanting
[09:53] <era878> soreau, pastebin says 413 request enitity too large
[09:54] <delta-class> I have two sets of identical files, but with different folder structures. How can I copy one folder structure onto the other without copying the files?
[09:54] <Jordan_U> era878: Try http://pastebin.ubuntu.com, it may allow larger pastes.
[09:54] <era878> jordan_U, thank you
[09:55] <r00t4rd3d> ubuntu have 2.6 kernel ?
[09:55] <chaospsychex> can someone help me boot to another partition on my harddrive?
[09:55] <soreau> r00t4rd3d: What kind of question is that? uname -r?
[09:55] <r00t4rd3d> lol i forget the command
[09:56] <Jordan_U> era878: You're welcome.
[09:57] <Jordan_U> r00t4rd3d: Every version of Ubuntu has had a 2.6 kernel. There are very few distros that didn't switch to 2.6 years ago.
[09:57] <rigved> chaospsychex: i don't understand your question...do you want to boot to another OS like Windows?
[09:57] <Jordan_U> r00t4rd3d: Make that "many years ago" :)
[09:57] <doctordoctor> can u do anything ar the grub rescue prompt?
[09:58] <delta-class> OK, I have two sets of identical files, but with different folder structures. How can I MOVE fiilesA to match the structure of filesB nto the other without copying the files?
[09:58] <era878> soreau, here my log pastebin.ubuntu.com/545875/
[09:58] <delta-class> OK, I have two sets of identical files, but with different folder structures. How can I MOVE fiilesA to match the structure of filesB?
[09:58] <Jordan_U> doctordoctor: It depends on what the exact problem is that caused you to get the rescue prompt. Do you see any error message?
[09:59] <doctordoctor> nope...just grub rescue. i changed a hard drive patition
[09:59] <lept0n> Hi ! I have an issue with the update manager, whenever i try to apply the updates another window popsup saying that this requires installation from untrusted packages, i want the updates nevertheless. what to do ?
[09:59] <doctordoctor> and unfortunately i have a live cd or usb handy
[09:59] <doctordoctor> i dont have a live usb or cd handy
[09:59] <s3r3n1t7> Why does my mouse vanish when I hit the top of my screen (and how can I fix it?)
[09:59] <NekoIncardine> lept0n: I believe it should provide you the ability to put in your root password to override.
[10:00] <Jordan_U> doctordoctor: Ok. Any time you repartition you should re-run grub-install. If the number of your /boot/ partition has changed you can just fix the $prefix variable.
[10:00] <lept0n> i put my password in but still i cannot go ahead with the installation, it just stops after the warning message
[10:00] <era878> soreau, here is my xorg.0.log "http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/545875/"
[10:00] <doctordoctor> but repartigtioned using gparted iso
[10:01] <NekoIncardine> lept0n: You may have to update those specific packages without the update manager, then. Sadly, I don't know how to do that, at this point
[10:02] <delta-class> OK, I have two sets of identical files, but with different folder structures. How can I MOVE fiilesA to match the structure of filesB?
[10:02] <doctordoctor> i think u need to change something at the sources manager
[10:02] <doctordoctor> NekoIncardine: ...try running sou
[10:02] <Jordan_U> doctordoctor: Run "set" to see the current value of $prefix, then look at the list of partitions grub sees with "ls", then run "prefix=(hdX,msdosY)/boot/grub/; insmod normal; normal" where (hdX,msdosY) is one of the devices listed by "ls".
[10:02] <lorenzosu> What is the 'typical' structure of a user's home directory in ubuntu (e.g. Documents, Music)? Creating a new user only creates a link to the Examples directory. Is this documented somewhere?
[10:02] <Sixer> Hi. my bind9 won't start. named says it can't read '/etc/bind/named.conf' but that file is 755. Any ideas? WHen I start bind through init.d, I get rndc: connect failed: <IP_ADDRESS>#953: connection refused
[10:02] <sneha_chitre> hello. i need help. i have written a test case with a function which checks if the toriginal function in the api is returning the right parameters that is a boolean type and an integer clinet id. but i am not able to run the tests. function has given arguments self and queryParams. i call the original deploy function and save in result but it says  that my function takes exactly two parameters and ii is given.
[10:03] <doctordoctor> NekoIncardine: ...try running software sources and check the box that says unsupported sources
[10:03] <maco> lorenzosu: has the user logged in yet or are you just ls'ing?
[10:03] <s3r3n1t7> lorenzosu, take a look at the skeleton structure. The documents folder etc is created on first graphical user logon.
[10:03] <maco> lorenzosu: cuz i think the full set of XDG folders should be created on first login
[10:03] <lept0n> NekoIncardine: Thanks
[10:03] <lorenzosu> maco, just listing
[10:03] <lorenzosu> maco, s3r3n1t7 Ah ok thanks great
[10:03] <s3r3n1t7> sneha_chitre, i think you are in the wrong channel.
[10:03] <doctordoctor> Jordan_U: do i run that at the grub rescue prompt
[10:03] <sneha_chitre> which channel should i use?
[10:04] <r00t4rd3d> Aminzai, i got mine to work :/
[10:04] <s3r3n1t7> sneha_chitre, the one that's related to the language you're using.
[10:04] <era878> soreau, are you still there?
[10:04] <doctordoctor> lept0n: try running software sources and check the box that says unsupported source
[10:04] <soreau> era878: That is horrible looking. I would complain in #intel-gfx (kinda pointless, but just to make me feel better)
[10:05] <era878> soreau, what do you suggest?
[10:05] <s3r3n1t7> Why does my mouse vanish when I hit the top of my screen (and how can I fix it?)
[10:05] <sneha_chitre> i tried joining python
[10:05] <doctordoctor> s3r3n1t7: top left or right?
[10:05] <Jordan_U> doctordoctor: Yes.
[10:05] <sacarlson> delta-class sounds like you would need to write some kind of a bash script or maybe ruby or other.  can you just copy both to a single flat folder with no subs?
[10:05] <s3r3n1t7> doctordoctor, not specific, just the top. Everywhere, from the top left to top right and anwhere in between.
[10:05] <doctordoctor> Jordan_U: ok.
[10:06] <lept0n> doctordoctor:still the same
[10:06] <doctordoctor> s3r3n1t7: extended deskttop perhaps?
[10:06] <soreau> era878: You could try xorg-edgers repo to get the latest driver bits..
[10:06] <doctordoctor> lept0n: that helped me when it happened to me.
[10:06] <doctordoctor> try running sudo apt-get update again
[10:06] <s3r3n1t7> doctordoctor, extended to where? it's literally the top few pixels and i can't do anything. I should probably also note that it started on a fresh install

[10:07] <doctordoctor> s3r3n1t7: additionally, u could disable all the sources except for the ubuntu ones. and try it again

[10:15] <lept0n> and it didnt work
[10:15] <Kingcope> ZDWAY2010: what do you require to use ubuntu for?
[10:15] <AdvoWork> is there any way to get the file permission numeric value of a directory or files? ie 777?
[10:15] <bullgard> '~$ iwconfig eth1; eth1 IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:off/any  ;  Mode:Managed  Channel:0  Access Point: Not-Associated.' What does iwconfig mean by "associated" precisely?
[10:15] <Jordan_U> AdvoWork: "stat /path/to/file"
[10:15] <sacarlson> AdvoWork: you can set nautilus to display octal in preferences
[10:16] <andrewss> hey guys
[10:16] <soreau> bullgard: It means your wifi card is not associated with any AP
[10:16] <sacarlson> AdvoWork: i you want to use cli then try ls -l
[10:16] <andrewss> I want to install centos from ubuntu using kickstart file. How can I speacify the kickstart file in grub? ks=http://domain/ks.cfg doesnt seem to be work
[10:17] <andrewss> If I specify as url=http://domain/ks.cfg it simply ignore
[10:17] <ZDWAY2010> kingcope: nothing just I wanna compare btwn theem
[10:17] <bullgard> soreau: You are trying to explain me the word "associated" with the word "associated". This cannot fucntion. Fail.
[10:17] <soreau> bullgard: Google define:associated
[10:17] <Kingcope> ZDWAY2010: for instance, you can't run executable files on ubuntu.. to play games like counter strike or age of empires...
[10:17] <bullgard> hahaha
[10:17] <ZDWAY2010> kingcope: Right now I have dual system windows and ubuntu in one laptop
[10:18] <era878> kingcope, wine
[10:18] <ZDWAY2010> yea I know that
[10:18] <soreau> bullgard: There is no hidden meaning
[10:18] <Kingcope> i know era, but better install windoze then to play with wine
[10:18] <Kingcope> at least from my experience
[10:18] <ZDWAY2010> just run rar or gz or tar or bin or deb
[10:18] <s3r3n1t7> bullgard, you didn't ask to explain the word associated. In this context it means connected. Please don't make such comments when people are trying to help you.
[10:18] <alpine101> anyone know best guide to enable the framebuffer?
[10:19] <ZDWAY2010> wine does not support all exe operation
[10:19] <bullgard> soreau: I do not suspect a hidden meaning. I'd expect a precise definition of 'associated' in this program.
[10:19] <soreau> Kingcope: FWIW, linux graphics driver devs are implementing DX10/11 so directX can be used natively with linux AFAIU
[10:19] <ZDWAY2010> I have try to install visualbasic 6 in ubuntu it fail :(
[10:19] <llutz> bullgard: "not associated" ~ not connected to an AP (or has no APs essid)  AP=AccessPoint
[10:20] <alpine101> its a microsoft product zdway -- maybe it runs under wine?  or maybe you can use VNC
[10:20] <ikonia> ZDWAY2010: that's  not going to work, please don't bother
[10:20] <ZDWAY2010> vnc for connectin not for run app.
[10:20] <alpine101> VNC = running windows in a little window on ubuntu -- you need much memory for that
[10:20] <soreau> bullgard: iwconfigs purpose is not to define words but to use them just like any other english text. webster or google can explain to you what any word means, including the word associated
[10:21] <bullgard> s3r3n1t7:  In contrast to what you said I indeed asked for an precise explanation of the word "associated".
[10:21] <ikonia> bullgard: paired
[10:22] <soreau> bullgard: Defining english words is not specific to ubuntu
[10:22] <ZDWAY2010> really ubuntu not like windows
[10:22] <ZDWAY2010> windows easy 2 use
[10:22] <soreau> ! u | ZDWAY2010
[10:23] <ZDWAY2010> hahah sory
[10:23] <ZDWAY2010> i mean
[10:23] <alpine101> zdway stop trolling
[10:23] <ZDWAY2010> u = you
[10:23] <ZDWAY2010> ur = you are
[10:23] <alpine101> nobodody here cares about windows
[10:23] <ZDWAY2010> that is shortcut
[10:23] <ZDWAY2010> yea I know no one care about it
[10:23] <ikonia> ok, guys, gentle heads up, the topic of this channel is Ubuntu support discussion only, lets keep to that
[10:24] <pfui> is there an equivalent of debian tasksel's laptop task in ubuntu?
[10:24] <s3r3n1t7> bullgard, your question was, What does iwconfig mean by "associated" precisely, which has been answered multiple times thus far. As soreau also said, we're not here to explain the English language for you.
[10:24] <era878> soreau, what do i do after: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:24] <soreau> ZDWAY2010: Windows is also a shortcut. Go pay for it and troll in their channel, #windows
[10:24] <bullgard> llutz: Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it.
[10:24] <ZDWAY2010> no no please
[10:24] <ZDWAY2010> you don't understand me
[10:24] <soreau> era878: Restart X by logging out. If it installed a kernel, reboot as well
[10:24] <ZDWAY2010> I'm not like windows
[10:24] <s3r3n1t7> ZDWAY2010, do you have a support question? If so, please ask that.
[10:24] <ikonia> ZDWAY2010: do you have an ubuntu support question, yes or no
[10:24] <soreau> ! ask | ZDWAY2010
[10:25] <ZDWAY2010> yes
[10:25] <ikonia> ZDWAY2010: ask your ubuntu support question then please.
[10:25] <ZDWAY2010> thnx ikonia
[10:25] <soreau> ZDWAY2010: And since this is #ubuntu, we only entertain questions pertaining directly to ubuntu
[10:25] <era878> soreau, I restarted and it still looks like the desktop version does that mean I am F***d
[10:25] <ikonia> era878: control the language, staring out words is not acceptable
[10:25] <bullgard> ikonia: I took notice. --  Thank you.
[10:25] <ZDWAY2010> ok soreau
[10:26] <era878> ikonia, sorry
[10:26] <ZDWAY2010> i'm coming here to ask about which is better ?
[10:26] <s3r3n1t7> ZDWAY2010, that's not a support question.
[10:26] <soreau> era878: Does the current X log have the same series of duplicate messages?
[10:26] <ZDWAY2010> no one understand me !!!!!!
[10:26] <ikonia> ZDWAY2010: if your next question is not an ubuntu question you will be removed from the channel
[10:26] <era878> soreau, let me check
[10:26] <ZDWAY2010> ok sorry
[10:26] <soreau> ZDWAY2010: In this channel, ubuntu is always better. If you ask in #windows, their OS is better
[10:26] <soreau> ! best | ZDWAY2010
[10:27] <ZDWAY2010> I'm coming to lean please
[10:27] <soreau> ZDWAY2010: What is your native language?
[10:27] <AdvoWork> how can I convert: drwxrwxrwx to a number? is there some online converter I can use for quickly working it out?ie copy/paste
[10:27] <era878> soreau, the duplicate messages are gone
[10:27] <ZDWAY2010> SA
[10:27] <Stormx2`> soreau, I was about to ask the same thing
[10:27] <soreau> era878: Can you paste the log then?
[10:28] <era878> soreau, yes
[10:28] <ZDWAY2010> in my country no support 4 ubuntu !!!!
[10:28] <Stormx2`> ZDWAY2010: Which country is that?
[10:28] <sacarlson> AdvoWork: try stat -c%a\ %n *
[10:28] <soreau> ! sa | ZDWAY2010
[10:28] <s3r3n1t7> Stormx2`, south africa or saudi arabia
[10:28] <ZDWAY2010> that reason let me came 2 here to know which is good 2 use OS !!!!
[10:29] <era878> soreau, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/545890/
[10:31] <bullgard> alpine101: See /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.31/Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt
[10:33] <soreau> era878: Its not even trying to load the intel driver which makes me wonder if your card is even supported by it (the intel driver module)
[10:33] <era878> soreau, how can i tell if the card is supported
[10:34] <alpine101> ty bullgard
[10:36] <soreau> era878: TBH, I dont know
[10:36] <soreau> era878: I figured since the 830 and later is supported, your 852 would be too.
[10:37] <chaospsychex> so i got win7 installed and now grub is gone ;-( how do i get it back?
[10:37] <chaospsychex> cant boot into ubuntu
[10:37] <era878> soreau, should i try to install the dektop version or can i stay with unity
[10:37] <erUSUL> !grub2 | chaospsychex
[10:37] <AdvoWork> is there a way to do an ls -all but do it in date modifed descending order?
[10:37] <tan_> hello, I come from Qingdao Shandong province ,China
[10:37] <nibbler__> AdvoWork, ls -clt eg
[10:38] <Shane``> Hello, i got a Question, I just clicked on  a Site wih "Java-Drive-By", can anything happen to me?!
[10:38] <soreau> era878: As I understand it, unity will come with the next installment of ubuntu, implemented with compiz (not gnome-shell)
[10:38] <soreau> era878: But as Jordan_U said, if you dont have 3D, you are pretty much screwed out of the whole unity thing
[10:38] <soreau> Well not in those words, but yes ;)
[10:39] <era878> soreau, okay so basically stay with my non 3D version of netbook or should I install the desktop version?
[10:39] <r00t4rd3d> lol my 20 dollar usb wireless card gets a better signal then my 80 dollar pci card with an external antenna.
[10:40] <soreau> era878: You can however get some kind of feedback from #ubuntu-x (providers of xorg-edgers repo) if you are patient enough
[10:40] <nibbler__> r00t4rd3d, i made the same experience
[10:40] <era878> ill try that
[10:40] <era878> thanks for your help
[10:40] <r00t4rd3d> ralink vs linksys
[10:40] <soreau> era878: I am kinda curious as to why X isnt even trying to load the intel driver for your card (maybe its entirely unsupported, I dont know)
[10:41] <era878> soreau, what should i ask ubuntu-x
[10:41] <r00t4rd3d> is there any benefit to having 2 working wireless cards installed ?
[10:41] <Jordan_U> era878: You may get better results with https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates or the edgers PPA, but both are also likely to cause instability.
[10:41] <soreau> era878: Show them the log of your last pastebin here and ask why its loading the vesa driver instead of intel
[10:42] <era878> soreau, okay
[10:42] <sacarlson> r00t4rd3d: if you want to do a "man-in-the-middle attack" at the airport it's cool to have two, other wise not sure I can think of a use for them.
[10:42] <era878> Jordan_U, what do you me  as in results?
[10:42] <soreau> era878: and wair for at least 12 hours :P
[10:42] <rigved> how do i mount vbox_additions.iso using command line?
[10:42] <soreau> Jordan_U: He already has installed xorg-edgers.. is that something different?
[10:42] <soreau> era878: wait*
[10:43] <era878> okay
[10:43] <Jordan_U> soreau: It's more stable than -edgers, I didn't realize he'd already tried -edgers. I doubt -updates will be any better with regard to 3D.
[10:44] <soreau> era878: You have to wait for sarvatt to wake up ;)
[10:44] <soreau> Jordan_U: Yea, its not even attempting to load intel but jumping straight to vesa which makes me wonder if his chipset is even supported at all
[10:45] <era878> soreau, sarvatt the edgers ppa guy?
[10:45] <rigved> what is the command to mount vbox_additions.iso using command line? is it - mount -t cdrom /media/VboxAdditions
[10:45] <soreau> era878: Right
[10:45] <chaospsychex> i've already got grub installed,how to i get it to show back up when i boot
[10:45] <era878> okay, ill try that tommorow
[10:45] <Jordan_U> chaospsychex: Hold shift during boot.
[10:46] <bdmz> hello everyone
[10:46] <bdmz> anyone here?
[10:46] <Amitabha> hello again- wireless usb device appears to be working but I can not use it to go online
[10:47] <Jordan_U> chaospsychex: Actually, since you just installed windows run "sudo update-grub" and in addition to adding an entry for windows it should unhide the grub menu.
[10:47] <soreau> era878: If you ask a valid question in #ubuntu-x and idle, you should get an answer in a reasonable amount of time
[10:47] <Amitabha> i see the network listed
[10:47] <Amitabha> it asks for the password
[10:47] <era878> soreau, do you suggest i ask now or tommorow morning?
[10:47] <Amitabha> and does not work
[10:48] <turin> Amitabha, Can you try another network?
[10:48] <sacarlson> Amitabha: if it's an option try turn you wifi access point encryption off.
[10:48] <soreau> era878: You can ask whenever you like but make sure to not ask-n-leave. Wait for at least 6-12 hours then ask again
[10:48] <rigved> never mind, figured it out. :)
[10:49] <Amitabha> no, only one network
[10:49] <sacarlson> Amitabha: I think some wifi devices are having problems with wpa encryption.  the other posible thing is the wpa package
[10:49] <bdmz> does anyone know how /etc/environment gets loaded during startup?
[10:49] <era878> soreau, thanks for your help im off to ubuntu-x
[10:49] <soreau> Amitabha: What encryption type?
[10:49] <deeeed> hi
[10:49] <Amitabha> it says wpa and wpa2
[10:49] <soreau> era878: They should be able to tell you what is right or wrong (make sure to post your X log)
[10:49] <era878> okay
[10:50] <r00t4rd3d> Amitabha, im on with my ralink :D
[10:50] <Amitabha> cool
[10:50] <sacarlson> Amitabha: another option that sounds like you can't do it set your encryption of your wifi network to wep instead of wpa.
[10:51] <r00t4rd3d> Amitabha, how did you get it up ? blacklist the rt2800usb ?
[10:51] <soreau> r00t4rd3d: It was already up..
[10:52] <tan_> hello , I come from China,and this is the first time I enter this chatroom ,There is something just puzzled me .who can give me a hand
[10:52] <tan_> ???
[10:52] <tan_> thanks
[10:52] <soreau> He just cant use it to connect successfully
[10:52] <Amitabha> I believe so
[10:52] <nibbler__> Amitabha, sacarlson: if you switch to WEP yuo can just disable security at all. WEP is worth nothing these days, just keep that in mind
[10:52] <chaospsychex> i was trying to install windows7 so i could use steam. no optical drive in this comp so i tried installing from my ipod touch. wouldnt work. finally i said i will install from hd and the guys in ##windows said it was to complilcated. guess what,i did it. morons......
[10:52] <saykou> greatings, any one an .ICEauthority error and tried everything on the forum, and nothing worked
[10:52] <r00t4rd3d> Amitabha, from internet "Just like the above poster, mines was detected but could not detect any access points.
[10:52] <r00t4rd3d> But blacklisting the rt2800usb module (and then rebooting) did the trick!A"
[10:52] <soreau> nibbler__: Its worth two bits for the guy that doesnt know WEP is useless ;)
[10:53] <r00t4rd3d> tell me when you want to get it working
[10:53] <chaospsychex> half of those ppl in that channel don't even know what they are talking about
[10:53] <soreau> Better to just use MAC address filtering
[10:53] <rigved> how do i install dmks? i cannot find in the repos...
[10:53] <sacarlson> nibbler__: that's what I first suggested just turn encryption off, but seems not posible
[10:53] <Amitabha> ok- do you know the code
[10:53] <rigved> !find dmks
[10:53] <nibbler__> soreau, just needed to mention that, seeing that people are advised to use wep here... at least those who do it,should be aware of these facts
[10:53] <deeeed> I have an usb drive (hfs filesystem) which is automatically mounted as readly for my user... However I can write as root. How can I change the auto mount config so I can not only write as root but also as the current gnome user ?
[10:53] <zerty> hi there
[10:53] <zerty> i got ftp problem on my server
[10:54] <zerty> how to check ?
[10:54] <soreau> nibbler__: They will never get it. Official standards will take care of it eventually but not soon enough
[10:54] <zerty> ssh working fine but not ftp
[10:54] <zerty> is that normal ?
[10:55] <soreau> zerty: Is anything normal?
[10:55] <soreau> zerty: Try #networking
[10:55] <nibbler__> zerty, well, ssh is a single connection/port thingy, ftp uses dynamically assigned ports for data connections, which with unaware firewalls might make problems, especially in NAT setups
[10:55] <sacarlson> nibbler__: I have cracks for wpa also,  so if they want security they can still use vpn in none secured network,  I don't have any cracks for that.
[10:55] <rigved> never mind again. found it. it's actually dkms and not dmks. :)
[10:56] <nibbler__> sacarlson, your cracks wont work on proper passphrased networks or wpa/enterprise
[10:56] <sacarlson> nibbler__: but it's still a good thing to let people know there are security risks
[10:56] <nibbler__> okays :)
[10:57] <sacarlson> nibbler__: your right,  it won't,  but most of my breakins have been like<PHONE_NUMBER>  even in wpa
[10:57] <rumpe2> tan_, just ask
[10:58] <jfer>  /join #ubuntu-au
[10:58] <Amitabha> root4 what is the command to blacklist the 2800
[11:00] <r00t4rd3d> pm
[11:01] <soreau> Amitabha: I told you to read a forum post I googled up for you
[11:01] <soreau> obviously you did not do that
 Amitabha: iwconfig is a command you run in your terminal. Try reading this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1378782&highlight=148f:3070
[11:07] <waterbourne> i'm in lxde and I'm trying to launch that ubuntu sound management thing that lets you switch output device (when you right-click the volume in gnome and select sound preference i think), what's the actual binary name?
[11:09] <bdmz> Where would I put an env variable assignment that depends on bash completion and needs to run as early in the boot process as possible?
[11:10] <Routers> how to group user with admin/root access ?
[11:11] <ServerTechLaptop> lol
[11:11] <luca__> barbie
[11:11] <ServerTechLaptop> Routers : haha i was thinking the same :P
[11:12] <ikonia> Routers: just put the user in the admin group
[11:14] <Routers> haha
[11:14] <sacarlson> Routers: add the users you want to have admin sudo rights to group admin see System>Administration>Users and Groups
[11:14] <Routers> i forgot how
[11:14] <Routers> in command line
[11:14] <Routers> gpass -m something like that
[11:14] <Routers> lol
[11:14]  * Routers old
[11:15] <Darael> BernardV: Don't know if you're actually here, but anyway... you were giving me a hand with my wifi yesterday.  Turned out /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wpa_supplicant.conf had got cleared somehow, so wpasupplicant couldn't start, which was blocking nm.  A purge and reinstall over a wired connection sorted it.
[11:15] <Darael> Routers: as root: "adduser <user> admin" will put a user in the admin group which gives them sudo rights.
[11:15] <Weedo> how long should an ubuntu live cd take to boot into ram?
[11:16] <codebeaker> is there something like umask to determine the defaults for owner, and group of newly created files for a given user? Example I would set the umask appropriately to give o+rw g+r for new files created, but I want the default ownership to be owner:www-data
[11:16] <Darael> Routers: You may also want to add them to the "adm" group - I think you need to be in that to read some of the system logs.
[11:16] <codebeaker> is the group inherited from the parent directory ?
[11:16] <Darael> codebeaker: Set the user's default group to www-data?
[11:16] <dnivra> Weedo, no clear cut limit i guess. in my laptop, it takes about 5-10 minutes.
[11:16] <codebeaker> Darael: it's that easy ?
[11:17] <Weedo> has anyone ever tried distributed multihead
[11:17] <Darael> codebeaker: It can be.  You can make the parent directory SGID, that also works.
[11:17] <codebeaker> Darael: which would you do? it' s for the user I'll SCP with to deploy my web app code
[11:18] <Weedo> has anyone ever tried distributed multihead
[11:18] <Darael> codebeaker: Group isn't inherited unless the parent directory is SGID, so if you're doing it in multiple places, I'd change the user's default group.
[11:18] <sacarlson> Routers: try man on adduser  I think it's sudo adduser username grouptoaddto
[11:19] <frank__> hi, how to install galleon under maverick?

[11:20] <Darael> frank__: What does it do?  It doesn't seem to be in the repos, so it may require a little fiddling.
[11:20] <sacarlson> Darael: sorry didn't read far enuf down to see it was already answered
[11:20] <frank__> Darael: it's a web browser
[11:20] <Darael> sacarlson: I don't mind at all.
