[09:24] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  yes. thats normally where its at.. the ubuntu usb-disk creator tool lets you generate a save file when youy put the iso on the flash drive
[09:24] <Hobbes> Slixxor: well not that far off then, I mean I'm sure your aware of astralias roots and all
[09:24] <Slixxor> synaptic has always worked for me
[09:24] <Guest16462> how i update it
[09:24] <Mason_> hello i need help
[09:24] <Machtin> so, would it be possible, that something in (k)ubuntu is screwed, so that i witness system freezes randomly? (about two to five times a week)
[09:24] <Dr_Willis> Guest16462:  verify your version of that tool. if its correct. file a bug with the AWN plugin guy i guess.
[09:24] <Slixxor> Hobbes, indeed hehe
[09:24] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: I couldn't put this on the hard drive?
[09:25] <Guest16462> how i check version for tat
[09:25] <Mason_> i need to conect a desktop 10.10 ubuntu to a mac os x 10.6 desktop but when i try the internet gos out on both
[09:25] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  a usb flash drive 'live cd' setup wont look for a save file on the hd.
[09:26] <pksadiq> Guest16462: might be dpkg-query -l | grep intltool
[09:26] <Slixxor> ApacheOmega, not sure how to help matey i'm a GUI developer.. no idea about command line epecially in linux :P i'll leave that to the experts like Dr-Willis
[09:26] <Guest80998> can anyone help me on how to get acquainted with the bash terminal?
[09:27] <zenbuntu> hey Sysi u there
[09:27] <Hobbes> If I put a torrant program on a USB flash drive, running off a 'live CD' usb flashdrive, would it be able to see and manage the download onto a actual HDD?
[09:27] <ApacheOmega> SLixxor - Thanks I'll try to figure this one out
[09:27] <Guest16462> 0.35.0+20060710.1  it shwoing me this version
[09:27] <Dr_Willis> !bash | Guest80998
[09:27] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: what does acquainted means?
[09:27] <zenbuntu> jus install xubuntu
[09:27] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  'become friends with'
[09:27] <Slixxor> LOL
[09:27] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: ok, thanks
[09:28] <Guest80998> thanks
[09:28] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  proberly - if you tell the torrent app to do uit.
[09:28] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  but if you reboot. saves not to the HD will get lost.
[09:29] <Hobbes> Why would it get lost on the HDD?
[09:29] <Mason_> can any1 help.... i need to conect my ubuntu desktop via ethernet cable to my mac but when i do it takes the internet away from my mac... please help :(
[09:30] <Slixxor> Mason_, IP conflict?
[09:30] <Mason_> no
[09:30] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  saves NOT to the hd will get lost.. is what i daid..
[09:30] <Mason_> a tut would be nice
[09:31] <Dr_Willis> Mason_:  and how are you connecting exactly?
[09:31] <Hobbes> Threaten the computers to split the ethernet cable in half, the true owner will not want to see harm come to the ethernet cable and will offer to give it to the other one
[09:31] <zenbuntu> what version are evry1 runnin?
[09:31] <_Rix> 10.04  here
[09:31] <RishavT> Mason_: Try doing this: right click network manager>>edit connections>>Auto eth0>>IPv4>>set it to automatic (DHCP)
[09:31] <Hobbes> Mason_ that is my wise advise to you
[09:31] <hros> good day - I have problems installing ubunto. I downloaded  10.10, put it on an USB stick with unetbootin, but after the "preparing to install"-screen, I only get the ever-rotating dial and nothing will happen.
[09:31] <daniele> !list
[09:31] <zenbuntu> ubuntu or xu?
[09:31] <_Rix> ubuntu, zenbuntu
[09:31] <hros> in /var/log/messages, I'll see the following lines: Feb  6 13:48:08 ubuntu ubiquity: Backtrace has 14 calls on stack:
[09:31] <hros> Feb  6 13:48:08 ubuntu ubiquity:   14: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_assert+0x2a) [0xb
[09:32] <Mason_> Hobbes: already did that
[09:32] <hros> ... and so on until
[09:32] <hros> Feb  6 13:48:08 ubuntu ubiquity:   2: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe7) [0x126ce7]
[09:32] <hros> Feb  6 13:48:08 ubuntu ubiquity:   1: parted_server() [0x8049de1]
[09:32] <Hobbes> Mason_ So what happened?
[09:32] <hros> does that mean that the "parted_server" crashed?
[09:32] <Slixxor> Mason_, the problem is on the macsend if an IP has been assigned to the bunt box
[09:32] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis why would the data on the HDD be lost?
[09:32] <Slixxor> Macs end*
[09:33] <Mason_> i have no idea if ip has been assinged
[09:33] <zenbuntu> ok thats what i have on my desktop, however my latop with ubuntu drains batt quick so im debating to install xubuntu or lubuntu any ideas?
[09:33] <Slixxor> i would suggest checking your mac has been configured to share network capabilities or is configured to be the default gateway in the routing table.
[09:33] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  i said it would NOT be lost if its on the HD..
[09:33] <hros> I've read thru the forums, they give the advice to remove the USB stick - which is impossible, as I'm installing from USB stick
[09:33] <Slixxor> what version of bunt Mason_
[09:33] <hros> (or at least, try to...)
[09:33] <Mason_> 10.10
[09:33] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  your torrent client may save its cache and .torrent stuff in places not  on the hd however.
[09:33] <Slixxor> cool
[09:34] <zenbuntu> ill be back need to reboot srry
[09:34] <Slixxor> go to System at the top then network tools
[09:34] <Mason_> just got on there less than 30 min ago
[09:34] <Slixxor> check the IP for your ethernet connection from the drop down, not the local loopback
[09:35] <hros> also, I wonder why "partition editing" (parted) would need a server (parted_server) ...
[09:35] <Mason_> were is "network tools"
[09:35] <BelkinUSB> hello, I'm running ubuntu 10.10 on an old box. It runs fine but sometimes I find it unresponsive and have to reset. I'm looking through the logs and i get this file /etc/ddclient.conf, line 8: Invalid Value for keyword 'login' over and over again. What does this mean?
[09:35] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: so in short, install linux, then just fix the boot manager latter when I install windows?
[09:37] <Slixxor> Hobbes, works best to install windows first then bunt that way grub installs both
[09:37] <Mason_> wait foundit
[09:37] <Slixxor> theres a tool for editing OSs in grub called startup manager ithink it's find them then updates grub.conf
[09:38] <Hobbes> slixxor: I need linux to get windows first though
[09:38] <Slixxor> Hobbes, negative
[09:38] <Mason_> wait ip conflic letme change
[09:38] <Slixxor> you need windows on there first.
[09:38] <Mason_> my mac told me :D
[09:38] <LinSteveH> I forget what booting structure is running on ubuntu 10.4.  I know that they no longer use GRUB.  Any help?
[09:39] <pksadiq> jeff_mar: keep quiet
[09:39] <Slixxor> it used to be easy to edit grub in the past but now they have wrapper classes that seem to edit the grub files.
[09:39] <AbhijiT> LinSteveH, grub2
[09:39] <Hobbes> slixxor: I won't have a windows to install without linux
[09:39] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  im not even sure what your origianl problem is/was any more..you were asking about torrents from a flash drive install..
[09:39] <Slixxor> Hobbes, not sure mate. you need to edit the grub.conf file to include windows in it.
[09:40] <LinSteveH> Hrmmm, where do I find the boot images then?  (i.e. where is the directory?)
[09:40] <Slixxor> it's changed file names now.
[09:40] <Slixxor> i wanted to modify my grub list to be a bit neater.
[09:40] <Slixxor> i couldnt do it :P
[09:41] <AbhijiT> !grub2 | LinSteveH
[09:41] <Hobbes> slixxor or I could just reinstall linux again eh?
[09:41] <LinSteveH> Abhijit: ... and thanks
[09:41] <Slixxor> yep.
[09:42] <Slixxor> thats my fix when i break stuff and end up in a command line... mind you 10.10 has a wicked tool for fixing X server now that usually lets you back into GUI
[09:42] <Hobbes> Slixxor, thats at me right?
[09:42] <Slixxor> sadly if you want to install/change things that dont come from synaptic you tend to break things, which is why they made it.
[09:43] <Slixxor> Hobbes, yes
[09:43] <Tuxist> hu
[09:43] <Tuxist> hi
[09:43] <Tuxist> i have problem with proftpd and tls
[09:43] <Chillance> hey, do you guys got tips on how I can autodelete a file played in vlc?
[09:43] <Hobbes> what do you guys think of xbuntu compared to ubuntu? Some people were just saying how much better it is in another chat
[09:43] <bazhang> Hobbes, please dont poll here
[09:44] <bazhang> !best | Hobbes
[09:44] <Slixxor> Chillance, just watch tube porn sites instead :P that way when you close the browser you dont have D/Ld files on your desktop.
[09:44] <Tuxist> i have configure proftpd with tls and created the crt and key but in can't auth with tls
[09:44] <hros> what's the deal with that parted_server crashing in 10.10 and 10.4 when installing from USB?
[09:44] <Chillance> Slixxor, funny :)
[09:44] <bazhang> Slixxor, keep it family friendly
[09:44] <Slixxor> of course. sorry
[09:44] <Tuxist> i have build proftpd 3.0 without change
[09:44] <Chillance> thing is, I love that I can set vlc to quit after playing a file
[09:45] <shentino> Can someone help me with this:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10432528#post10432528
[09:45] <Chillance> would be cool to let it delete it too
[09:45] <Tuxist> so i think the problem is the openssl lib
[09:45] <Slixxor> Chillance, couldnt that also work against you?
[09:45] <Hobbes> Xbuntu is more stable, smoother and faster then ubuntu because of  Xfce
[09:45] <Hobbes> ?
[09:45] <bazhang> Hobbes, I asked you not to poll here
[09:46] <shentino> Hobbes:  You were already instructed not to poll here
[09:46] <Slixxor> the X display is very stable from way back in freeBSD days
[09:46] <Chillance> Slixxor, sure, but it should be smart and just delete after its finished..
[09:46] <HumanBlade> hi all... best chan for noob q's?
[09:46] <bazhang> Hobbes, #ubuntu-bots or #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:47] <r_a_ven> any gurus here for fixing sound issues on ubuntu laptop?
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  i dont find xfce that much faster/stable.
[09:47] <r_a_ven> helping me fix, i.e.
[09:47] <Slixxor> HumanBlade, Dr_Willis has a site. it got common faqs on it etc.
[09:47] <KB1JWQ> !sound | r_a_ven
[09:47] <Slixxor> Dr_Willis, ....
[09:47] <r_a_ven> thanks !!
[09:47] <r_a_ven> !sound
[09:47] <HumanBlade> @Slixxor, actually have a specific problem, hoped to get some hand holding in a chan
[09:48] <Slixxor> HumanBlade, try searching google with "ubuntu" at the start of the problem.
[09:48] <r_a_ven> i have actually spent 5 months trying to fix sound
[09:48] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: Much more? So you find it slightly more so? Please break down the comparison
[09:48] <Slixxor> thats what i do, but when people make file references without file paths i get frustrated,'
[09:48] <bazhang> Hobbes, please stop
[09:48] <r_a_ven> it has not been working after 9.04
[09:48] <HumanBlade> @Slixxor, tried 45 mins of that, and came here :)
[09:48] <r_a_ven> i will go thru these links too
[09:48] <r_a_ven> thanks
[09:48] <bazhang> Slixxor, please dont recommend google first here
[09:48] <Slixxor> i.e it took me 30 minutes to find the path of uvc_video.c
[09:49] <Slixxor> bazhang, sorry mate. it works for me :)
[09:49] <Hobbes> bazhang:stop what?
[09:49] <Slixxor> Hobbes, hes saying dont ask for comparisons on stuff.. or ask peples opinions
[09:49] <bazhang> Hobbes, this is not the channel for polling. I have asked you three times now.

[09:50] <shentino> Hobbes:  Comparisons between different versions of ubuntu are off topic here, please stop
[09:50] <Hobbes> I am not polling for curiousity, I am trying to determine which one to use
[09:50] <HumanBlade> yeah, i have a really weird problem. can mount network shares on gui but mount says: "mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system"
[09:50] <Hobbes> From people who have experience
[09:50] <bazhang> Hobbes, then do as I suggest. This is not the channel for it
[09:50] <Slixxor> eichi, i had similar errors installing ubuntu when i selected "do updates" at initial install.
[09:50] <HumanBlade> so kinda wondering if there was a general help channel

[09:54] <droopal> Ubuntu 10.10
[09:55] <eichi> pksadiq: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Alternative%20methods why is requirement, that windows run on this system?
[09:55] <Slixxor> droopal, i was aware of issues long ago with storage devices being NTFS locked i.e not safely removed from windows not working properly, but im sure the bunt team has fixed this since.
[09:56] <psycho_oreos> sounds unusual to me, either it could be something wrong with gnome-keyring or by you not being under sudoers?
[09:56] <scipy> how can I see my Win7 partition content from Ubuntu?
[09:56] <Slixxor> scipy, it should automount from install.
[09:56] <Slixxor> or you'll have to mount the partition.
[09:57] <scipy> the other partition is automounted
[09:57] <droopal> how can I get around it. I cant even watch videos anymore. If I
[09:57] <Slixxor> then you should be able to browse it.
[09:58] <psycho_oreos> droopal, its been like this ever since from the fresh install?
[09:58] <pksadiq> eichi: could you please say what is in the link, sorry I don't have access to a full browser
[09:58] <scipy> from win7, I knew that I have two ntfs partitions: the one with win7 and another named Data. From Ubuntu I can access only Data partition content
[09:58] <Slixxor> if you know what device it is in /dev then you can use the command umount -a /dev/whatever
[09:58] <Slixxor> i think it's -a
[09:58] <Slixxor> scipy is grub installed on the MBR?

[10:00] <jonsaint> hi all. im trying to run some software which came on my phone which allows me to connect my phone to the pc but wine has blocked it and says something about the 'executable bit'. im a new user to ubuntu and i dont know what to do next!
[10:00] <Slixxor> scipy, that means by default grub has picked up bunt, the bunt recovery partition and your windows partition.
[10:00] <scipy> how can i see what /dev i have?
[10:00] <Slixxor> you shouldnt have more.
[10:01] <Slixxor> when you boot look at your windows partition.
[10:01] <Slixxor> in the grub list.
[10:01] <FluxD> scipy, ls /dev ?
[10:01] <red> Any idea why I can't see any filenames on the desktop?
[10:01] <Slixxor> it will say /SDA1

[10:01] <droopal> psycho_oreos: hi I updated to 10.10 via update manager, and its since then I've been locked out. Which is why I wanted to do a fresh install. On my laptop I had same problem, I was able to access the sudo user-admin even though I was locked out, I managed to get in there, with the netbook, I cant.
[10:01] <hros> are there any options which are accepted by parted_server? it doesn't even come w/ a man-page :-/
[10:02] <FluxD> red, try making a new file/folder and see ?
[10:02] <red> what?
[10:02] <hros> and "parted_server -h" or "parted_server --help" puts itself in the background
[10:02] <red> the files have names, but they are not displayed
[10:02] <psycho_oreos> droopal, and how do you define as fresh install? wiped partition clean before installing ubuntu on it?
[10:02] <red> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2188345/iconnames.png
[10:02] <droopal> yes
[10:03] <Slixxor> *sigh* well i've decided to take apart my laptop and rotate my webcam instead and remount it to the top of the LCD to fix my inverted webcam issue, thats an easier fix for me then install subversions and updating drivers etc.
[10:03] <droopal> but I can do anything, because it wont let me use a usb stick or the dvd rewriter
[10:03] <FluxD> red, the icons are the ones on the left?
[10:04] <red> yes
[10:04] <droopal> before the upgrade both worked

[10:26] <toman> FluxD , "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system"
[10:26] <FluxD> toman, What driver do you need?
[10:27] <Raymond> Hi All, I'm trying to install drivers for my Epson CX3900 printer/scanner, but can't find one. The Avasys site states that they do, but they don't. The closest is a CX3810 which lets me print, but not scan. Any ideas?
[10:27] <gracekelly> thanks you FluxD   :)!!
[10:27] <FluxD> np
[10:27] <gracekelly> xD
[10:27] <Dr_Willis> Raymond:  check the  'sane.org' site to see if it mentions the scanner part of the device. t may have some info.
[10:27] <toman> well i need a driver for my video (ati radeon x550)
[10:27] <Dr_Willis> !sane
[10:27] <Raymond> Dr_Willis: Ok..
[10:28] <hros> what's that parted_server supposed to do anyway? If I manually partition & format my disk, how can I skip the "parted_server" step in the installation?
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> Raymond:  the combos ive had. always basically work as 2 seperate devices
[10:28] <toman> FluxD,  i found a driver on the official website, but it's *.run format and i have no idea how to install it :D
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> hros:  i thought the parted_server thing was a backend to the parted front end.
[10:29] <Raymond> Dr_Willis: That does not surprise me, thanks.
[10:29] <alle> anybody know how can i reconfigure network
[10:29] <FluxD> toman, download the driver, goto terminal, chmod +x filename.run, then ./filename.run
[10:29] <Dr_Willis> toman:  using the .run drivers from the ati site.. often.. causes issues. its best to use the package manager drivers. if they support your card.
[10:29] <Dr_Willis> toman:  so dont be too suprised if that .run dosent work properly
[10:30] <hros> hm
[10:30] <toman> Dr_Willis, i cant download the drivers from package manager ...

[10:33] <Dr_Willis> google is handy :)
[10:33] <Raymond> Dr_Willis: I just found it the same way LOL
[10:33] <jonsaint> hi all. anyone about to help?????
[10:33] <vosh> yes
[10:33] <Dr_Willis> jonsaint:  state the problem. see who can help
[10:33] <hros> dr_willis, I think it's a bit strange to use a seperate server-process for that.
[10:34] <hros> anyway, that wont help me.
[10:34] <drt42982934> Hi, i have a bunch of files ending with .flv.mp3 , which i need to rename so they end in just .mp3 , what is the command i should use?
[10:34] <jonsaint> im trying to install software which came built in to my phone which is an exe file so i can link my phone to my pc but wine has blocked it and something popped up about the 'executable bit'. i dont know what to do next as im a new ubuntu user.
[10:35] <hros> for i in *.flv; do j=`basename $i .flv"; mv $i $j; done
[10:35] <pksadiq> jonsaint: right click on the file and check wether it is marked as executable
[10:35] <toman> FluxD,  http://www.pasteall.org/18861
[10:35] <toman> that's what i get when i try to install it ...
[10:35] <hros> ups, sorry, that's wrong
[10:35] <minimec> jonsaint: chmod +x yourfile.exe
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> hros:  im not even sure what your orignal problem is...
[10:35] <FluxD> toman, your install is 32 or 64 bit?
[10:35] <argyle> Anyone able to offer assistance with my above wireless problem?
[10:35] <jonsaint> chmod???????
[10:36] <hros> for i in *.flv.mp3; do j=`basename *.flv.mp3`; mv $i $j.mp3; done
[10:36] <hros> but try the "mv" first with "echo mv $i $j.mp3" to check if there's an error in that line
[10:36] <FluxD> jonsaint, chmod +x filename
[10:36] <toman> 64 buts
[10:36] <toman> 64 bits&
[10:36] <jonsaint> i got no such directory
[10:36] <toman> FluxD, 64 bits

[10:38] <droopal> Hi can I ask the question again, I am trying to do a fresh install, I am running Ubuntu nut am having problems with usb's and my external dvd player/rewriter.....getting an error saying cant mount dont have authorisation. I want to do a complete clean install, but cant. Can any body either help, or possibly point me in another direction to get help. Thank you.
[10:38] <pksadiq> jonsaint: copy that file to Desktop and then change the permission
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> jonsaint:  you can use wine from the command line. and run a exe that way.. 'wine /media/CDROM/setup.exe'   and  get around that quirk.
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> jonsaint:  or under applications -> wine -> Uninstall wine software -  Theres a 'install' button.
[10:39] <argyle> FluxD: How can I verify and/or change that?
[10:39] <FluxD> jonsaint, to run exe files you need wine goto winehq.org and read
[10:40] <FluxD> argyle, I forget but wep cracking turns on monitor or turns off monitor, google your card and see
[10:40] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: how to rename a bulk of *.html files to *.htm file?
[10:40] <jonsaint> i dragged it to desktop and checked box but when i double click all it does is hang for a few seconds and then nothing happens
[10:41] <hros> for i in *.html; j=`basename $i .html`; mv $i $j.htm; done
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  theres dozens of ways to do that.  a google search will find proberly 10+ bash examples of doing it.
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  you could also use find, or i think the 'rename' command.
[10:41] <pksadiq> jonsaint: in Terminal (CTRL +ALT + T) and type wine ~/Desktop/setup.exe
[10:42] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: does rename can rename many files at a time?
[10:42] <jonsaint> tried that. again hung for a few seconds before bringing back up the prompt
[10:43] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: let me check  the man page

[10:44] <iratech> hello room
[10:45] <argyle> FluxD: Soapparently you can change the wireless iterface to monitor mode with iwconfig. However, only lo and eth0 and shown in iwconfig. It appears like, despite my wireless card being in the lspci output, it's not being actually being detected?
[10:46] <Hobbes> If I install torrant program under live CD ubuntu, then download something with the torrant onto the HDD, what would happen with that download if I restart?
[10:46] <bindi> nothing
[10:46] <miho_aka> %)
[10:46] <FluxD> argyle, maybe the module is not loaded or blacklisted? tried restarting?
[10:47] <argyle> FluxD: Tried restarting multiple times hoping it would somehow work again.
[10:47] <rac_> anyone heard if there's an ubuntu installer to install (another version) of ubuntu to another partition while running ubuntu ?
[10:48] <FluxD> argyle, try asking the aircrack channel
[10:48] <Hobbes> So the download would still be there?
[10:48] <Raymond> Dr_Willis: Looks like the driver I've installed before is working, thanks for your help...
[10:49] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: rename worked well, Thanks
[10:49] <sacarlson> rac_:  you can setup another grub2 entry to boot an iso to install a version of something from within a ubuntu sesion
[10:49] <FluxD> Hobbes, I dont think so
[10:49] <rac_> sac: Thanks. That would need booting again. Is there any way to just apt-get install ubuntu installer and let it install everything?
[10:50] <Hobbes> You don't think the program would still be there fluxD? Why wouldn't it be?
[10:50] <argyle> FluxD: will do, thanks!
[10:50] <FluxD> Because livecd runs from RAM
[10:50] <FluxD> Hobbes, ^
[10:51] <bindi> Hobbes: if you download to a HDD it will stay there
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  your torrent app would not have its settings saved.. and it would not rember what it had done in the past.. the stuff it DID download to the hdd would still be there..
[10:51] <rac_> oh, I could propably download the iso and virtualbox and let the VBox  use partition to install to
[10:51] <rac_> maybe even qemu?
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  thats the whole point of having a 'save file' on a livecd-flash setup.
[10:52] <FluxD> Dr_Willis, what about something downloaded to desktop in livecd . What happens after reboot?
[10:52] <sacarlson> rac_: just add a grub2 custom40 entry with something like this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604
[10:52] <pksadiq> Hobbes: probably hopefully I think , your download continue from the stopped position if you show the torrent software , the same path you saved before
[10:53] <Hobbes> If the torrent program is on a usb flash drive, why couldn't it save its settings?
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> FluxD:  desktop is not on a HD.. it would be gone
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  if he Installed the torrent apt via package manager.. it installed to RAM...
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  IF you dont have a 'save file' then NO permenet settings or files get saved to the 'system'
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> ANything Not saved specifically to a HD.. is gone.
[10:54] <Hobbes> Can't I tell it to install the torrant program to flash drive or HDD?
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> so Make a 'save' file on your usb setup
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  depends on what torrent app.
[10:54] <pksadiq> Hobbes: the files if saved to USB of HD  will be there untill you delete
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  if you Installed the torrent apt via package manager.. it installed to RAM...
[10:54] <pksadiq> ^of^or
[10:55] <sacarlson> rac_:  just point the isofile to the iso boot image you want to install in menuentry "Ubuntu" {     set isofile="/boot/isos/ubuntu.iso"
[10:55] <Hobbes> So how do I install it to the flash drive or the HDD?
[10:56] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  you find some torrent app that you install some way OTHER then the pacakge manager..
[10:56] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  what are you trying to acomplish exactly anyway?
[10:56] <FluxD> Hobbes, when in livecd mode it mounts the hdd and/or usb devices, you can save to them and file will be there
[10:57] <diskin> hi all, is it a known problem, then when I find any text in chromium, it get's highlited, and then if I switch to another tab, select something with mouse, then switch back to the tab with highlited word, it replaces my Linux selection buffer automatically?
[10:58] <argyle> OK, #aircrack told me it's not something they can help with, so let's try a different angle. Why would I see my wireless card when I run lspci, but no wireless interfaces when I run iwconfig?
[10:58] <Tanvir> Hello, where I can recover the chat log of pidgin in ubuntu? Pidgin is keeping all the logs, but I don't know where it's keeping all those logs.
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> Tanvir:  i would look in .pidgin perhasps or in .config/pidgin or use find/grep to searh throuigh the files in your Home. for somthing that seems related to pidgin
[10:59] <Hobbes> I want to make a USB flash drive boot from a ancient old PC to have a OS like ubuntu on a new PC to download win7 to install so that the new PC has ubuntu and win7 in duel boot, I know I will need to repair  grub if I install ubuntu rather then run it from a live version
[10:59] <psycho_oreos> argyle, check via lspci -nnk and also check dmesg as to the possible reasons why
[11:00] <ysis> Is there a better way than dd to make an (mountable) .iso image from a partition on a hdd?
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  make a usb setup with a persistant 'save' file . and  have it save the torrents to the hard drive somewhere. then you can do whatever you want to the files. if your flash drive is big enough - you could put a large save file on it.. and keep the torrent downloads there also.
[11:00] <Hobbes> Dr_willis: but repairing grub might be easier then trying to set up a torrant download under a live
[11:00] <MindSpark> can someone help me set up twinview ?
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  it pays to learn how to repair grub.. yes.
[11:01] <MindSpark> it feel like the dfp is not working at all
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> MindSpark:  all ive ever done for twinview.. install the nvidia drivers.. reboot. run nvidia-settings, check enable twinvieqw.. restart X server.. done.
[11:02] <MindSpark> Dr_Willis, how do I test if the DFP is actually connected ? It is seen by nvidia-settings, but it's as if it's not even on
[11:02] <Hobbes> Dr_willis: is it really very much work or very complicated to repair grub after a windows install?
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  takes me about 40 sec to fix...
[11:02] <argyle> psycho_oreos: lspci -nnk shows me detailed information about the card, but nothing else that I can tell would help me. As for dmesg, is there a way to better filter the output to look for something related to wlan?
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  if you gto a working system and a spare flash drive. you can install grub to the flash drive and use that as a 'backup' to boot the system to linux after you install windows also.
[11:03] <Tanvir> Dr_Willis, I see nothing named .pidgin or in .config/pidgin
[11:03] <Daghdha> 'lo .. how can i see if i have 32 or 64 bit ubuntu installed?
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  plug in flash drive do a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and be sure to tell it to isntall to the flash.
[11:03] <Hobbes> To do a what?
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> Tanvir:  use the find command perhaps and search  your home for log files. or the other file search features of gnome. I dont use pidgin at all.
[11:04] <psycho_oreos> argyle, normally, for almost each of the listed devices it would show the relevant kernel modules that are loaded (which will be shown as in use) and what other modules are available under lspci -nnk (hence the -k switch). As for dmesg, not really, you could probably just grep out ipw2200 but might even be a good idea to pastebin the entire log so that I or someone else might be able to help
[11:04] <Hobbes> Are you talking about something that a regular live CD usb flash drive could do?
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  to make a 'grub boot' flash drive.. to boot the system back to luinux after wndows trashes the grub menu.
[11:04] <Tanvir> Dr_Willis, how to do tha?
[11:04] <psycho_oreos> Daghdha, uname -a, look at the last few words at the end
[11:04] <psycho_oreos> Daghdha, better yet iirc its uname -m
[11:04] <Tanvir> Dr_Willis, I mean use the search.. How can I do that?
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> Tanvir:  perhaps 'find  | grep pidgin'
[11:04] <Hobbes> You mean every time I want to boot to linux?
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> Tanvir:  or places -> search for files
[11:05] <Hobbes> Or something that will fix the grub?
[11:05] <eichi> pksadiq: i try it now with plop bootmanager and usb driver. cd driver allways couses read write errors
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  No... its a RESCUE flash drive i made.. that lets me get back to linux IF windows trashes the MBR.
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> handy use for old small flash drives.
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> windows trashes my mbr.. i pup in the flash drive.. boot it.. it boots grub and loads my installed ubuntu os.. i then use the proper command to reinstall grub to the mbr.. windows damage is then fixed.
[11:06] <eichi> Dr_Willis: what is "windows"? ;)
[11:06] <argyle> psycho_oreos: http://pastebin.com/N8RPHj61
[11:06] <Daghdha> x86 64
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> eichi:  what does 'what' mean.. :)
[11:06] <Daghdha> so that'll be 64bit i take it
[11:06] <psycho_oreos> Daghdha, that's definitely 64bit
[11:07] <Hobbes> Oh, I reinstall grub from within the linux boot?
[11:07] <Daghdha> I tried installling grub2 several times yesterday on my restored backup disk. I tried several methods, none worked. grub2 is realy a crime to get working. Is there an alternative to booting into my linux?
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  if you can boot to your original system you  just rerun 'sudo update-grub' to have it reinstall grub.
[11:08] <shooood> hi, i have a toshipa lap top and the wireless didn't work ?? does it need any configuration ?????
[11:08] <karlo94> when I start downloading torrent on transmission it's ask me what I want to download, I check thing that I wanna download, and it ignore me.. it download all, any suggestion?
[11:09] <psycho_oreos> argyle, there's an issue with the firmware according to the dmesg output, check lines 727-729
[11:09] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: original system=within linux?
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  my original system = the linux i allready had installed.. so yes.
[11:10] <psycho_oreos> Daghdha, normally its possible via liveCD/liveDVD/liveUSB boot, mount and chroot into your linux setup and resetup grub or grub2 from there
[11:10] <Tanvir> Dr_Willis, I found the answer in #pidgin. --> ~/.purple/logs !
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> karlo94:  transmissions is a rather basic client. You may want to try others.
[11:10] <Tanvir> Dr_Willis, thanks for your effort!
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> Tanvir:  it pays to learn how to search for files. :) good to have google skills also.. heh
[11:11] <karlo94> Dr_Willis, is deluge good? ..what do you recommend?
[11:11] <Hobbes> So how do I turn a Bootable live! Ubuntun created my unetbootin usb flash drive, into one that has the grub necessary to load back into the original linux install? It wouldn't already come with that?
[11:12] <Daghdha> psycho_oreos: I tried several ways of doing just that yesterday.
[11:12] <n20> Helo
[11:12] <Daghdha> And none of them worked.
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> karlo94:  depends on your needs. ive been using qbittorrent lately. Ktorrent is also a fave..
[11:12] <Daghdha> i tried the chroot thing and the grub2-install --rootdirectory thing
[11:13] <n20> I'm guiding my mom to get network running on a 7.04 live-cd, what's the DHCP-client in use there and how do I get an ip? `sudo dhclient`?
[11:13] <karlo94> Dr_Willis, tnx, I gonna try  qbittorrent :)
[11:13] <psycho_oreos> Daghdha, that should be the universal way, albeit ancient, normally when chroot is setup right you basically have the setup of your own linux machine apart from running the kernel and initrd from your machine
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  unetbootin uses 'syslinux' not grub last i checked.. if you have your linux system booted to. You can use any flash drive and that 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' command to put a 'grub' restore type setup on it..  it dosent even have to be a big flash drive.. 128mb is enough even..
[11:13] <vosh> is ur mom a computer operator?
[11:13] <n20> vosh: Soon to be lol. :-)
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> n20:  7.04 is very very old.. you may want to find a newer cd.
[11:14] <psycho_oreos> n20, that sounds ancient, 7.04, might not even be supported
[11:14] <vosh> it always need a guru to configure linux
[11:14] <n20> Well, I don't have a newer at their place.
[11:14] <vosh> even for trivial things
[11:14] <n20> 7.04 should be working, via wired
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> vosh:  dont spread rumors please...
[11:14] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: how to repartition a pendrive messed up with cat /dev/null         parted and fdisk doesn't work well
[11:14] <Daghdha> Is it correct that when you copy the MBR and then restore it on a relpaced disk that it does not work?
[11:15] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  gparted should ask to make a 'partition layout' (or somthing liek that) on it.. you would select 'dos' then it should let you make partitions.
[11:15] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  depends on how you copied it. The partition mayout may be differnt. that can cojfuse things
[11:15] <psycho_oreos> Daghdha, it depends on how you saved MBR initially, normally the stuff is not easily accessible and requires dd
[11:16] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: So I can use unetbootin live to install linux, then use that command to put the grub restore thing on that same USB flash drive?
[11:16] <Daghdha> i used dd and did 1st 512 bytes of the device
[11:16] <xannax> Hello
[11:16] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: I don't have access to GUI
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  not from a unetbootin live system.. if you had an installed system.. you could.
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  and not on the 'same' flash drive as your unetbootin system.. a differnt flash drive
[11:16] <Daghdha> i will try tha chroot once mare later.
[11:17] <sacarlson> Daghdha: what problems do you see at boot time, what problem are you having?  what command did you use to install the mbr to your boot disk?
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  fdisk should work or parted.. or i would suggest a 'gparted live cd' also.
[11:17] <xannax> I have a bash script here that is driving me crazy, I wonder if someone will have a look at it...Here it is:_uamq="${mysql} -u '${_madminuser}' -h '${_mhost}' -p'${_madminpwd}' -e \"CREATE DATABASE ${_db};\""
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  ive had to use dd to 'zero' out flash drives in the past..
[11:17] <psycho_oreos> Daghdha, you need to follow a proper guide, such as the need to also mount /dev, /proc and what not
[11:17] <Daghdha> I did
[11:18] <xannax> it works; I mean, if on the next line I echo $_uamq, and copy-paste it, it works as intended
[11:18] <andrelindgren> Hello! When I run update-grub it can't find my Win7-partition, even though it's browseable in Nautilus. Any suggestions? :)
[11:18] <xannax> but if I just ouput the line in the script, then I get mysql's help, as if I had no arguments
[11:18] <xannax> any suggestion?
[11:18] <Hobbes> Dr_willis: If I used the unetbootin live system to install ubuntu I said. I could then use that install to make that grub restore system?
[11:18] <Daghdha> Ok, where can i find an ubuntu CD that goes to shell and not to X?
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  the command i gave 'dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' needzs to be ran from a 'working' ubuntu install
[11:19] <Daghdha> Because the Live CD only lets me go to X and that doesn't work because it needs some kernel params i don't know currently.
[11:19] <sacarlson> Daghdha: problem some people do is the install the mbr to the wrong disk , this can happen if you boot from a usb that becomes /dev/sda  and your boot disk becomes /dev/sdb  later when usb is not installed your boot disk becomes /dev/sda with no mbr
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  alternative installer cd can do that.   you could also try the 'nomodeset' or 'text' options to the live cd you have.
[11:20] <shooood> what does " Wrong architecture 'amd64'  " mean ????
[11:20] <Hobbes> Dr_willis: which can be made by the unitbootin live, right?!?
[11:20] <Daghdha> Dr_Willis" ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent  <- that?
[11:20] <red2kic> shooood: It mean you need to use 32bit, I suppose.
[11:21] <shooood> red2kic : it appears when i tried to install skype
[11:21] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: Unitbootin live can be used to install ubuntu???
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  yes..
[11:22] <red2kic> shooood: Run "uname -m" -- It'll tell you what machine you have. If you're on amd64, you may have to install lib32.
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  theres other tools like lili, and others at pendrivelinux web site that can  do what unetbootin does.. and make a persistant save file.. unetbootin dosent have that feature last i checked
[11:23] <serialized> does any one have nvrm xid paging errors?  ive looked all over on the net but no one has seem to come up with an answer?  im using nvidia fx 350m
[11:23] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  the alt-cd uses a text based installer yes..  depending ion what you want to do.
[11:23] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: and then when it does install ubuntu, that install can be used to make that grub restoring program?
[11:23] <Daghdha> i wanna chroot it and grub-update it
[11:24] <serialized> NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0000 07f4 0012aa04 00000000 7e33f000 00000000
[11:24] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  if you have ubuntu intalled.. yes.. that install can be used to generaate a  flash drive that can boot THAT install if windows trashes it..
[11:25]  * Daghdha cringes
[11:25] <Dr_Willis> for every ubuntu box i 'make' i keep a flash drive handy for a grub 'rescue' (a little flash,) and then i got a flash drive setup that i used to install from.
[11:26] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis Why can't the same USB flash drive be used for a grub rescue?
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  because you can only have ONE thing installed to the MBR of the flash drive
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  i tend to use a command like --> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/InstalledSystemMointPoint  /dev/sda --recheck
[11:27] <Hobbes> It could be burned to a CD though?
[11:27] <icedtea> whats the name of the command when you can pipe something and for each argument it will ran the command x for you?
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  burn what to a cd?
[11:27] <pawan> I have just installed ubuntu and then tried to boot into windows 7 but it fails to boot.
[11:27] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis grub rescue program
[11:27] <icedtea> ahh xargs
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  its not a 'program' its installing the GRUB to the MBR of the flash drive...
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  it takes no space on the flash drive. (its in the mbr),
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> thats why even a litlte 128mb flash drive can do it.
[11:28] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: could that be burned onto a CD?
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  No.
[11:28] <Hobbes> Could I store what ever I like on the rest of the usb flash drive?
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  yes.
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> it would be a fat32 or whatever fs.
[11:29] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis it has to be fat32?
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> it would be a fat32 >>>>>>>> or whatever fs. <<<<<<<<<
[11:29] <shooood> red2kic : does this lib 32 support skype ???
[11:30] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: So NTFS or anything I like?
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  using ntfs on  a usb flash drive is a little overkill.
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  try it and see
[11:30] <Hobbes> How is that?
[11:30] <red2kic> shooood: Afaik, there are no amd64 binary for skype, only i386.
[11:30] <Daghdha> Dr_Willis: I tried that SEVERAL times. Always with the same result. It appears the bootloader starts looping or loop crashing with the screen blinking every second or so
[11:30] <Daghdha> Oh not with --recheck though
[11:30] <Hobbes> How is it overkill?
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:   thats weird..  My little grub reinstall notes -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/563376/
[11:31] <Daghdha> Also, i used grub2
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  ntfs on anything under 4gb is overkill.
[11:31] <Hobbes> *can't recall what FS stands for anyway*
[11:31] <shooood> it told me so
[11:31] <shooood> red2kic: it told me so
[11:31] <shooood> red2kic: i386
[11:32] <Anubis1> hi
[11:32] <vosh> FS = file system
[11:32] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: I assume that was directed at me even though you said daghdha, Well some of my USB flash drives are 8gb
[11:32] <shooood> red2kic: sorry i686
[11:32] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: anyway, even if it is overkill, what does it matter as long as it works?
[11:32] <pawan> I have just installed ubuntu and then tried to boot into windows 7 but it fails to boot.  \
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  go do what you want then.
[11:32] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis is there a disdvantage to overkill?
[11:33] <red2kic> shooood: Okay. Fast question. How did you get Skype? From the website?
[11:33] <shooood> red2kic: yes
[11:33] <red2kic> shooood: You want 32-bit, not 64-bit. Did you get 64-bit?
[11:33] <Anubis1> i just upgraded some packages on my 1004LTS machine(kubuntu) and now i can see only some colored rectangles on my screen.
[11:33] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis Does NTFS use more space or something?
[11:33] <shooood> red2kic: how can i know
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  it can. and its not supported  as well.
[11:33] <Anubis1> i cant access any console
[11:33] <Anubis1> what should i do ?
[11:33] <red2kic> shooood: What does the file say?
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  and if you notice  - unetbootin and other usb-disk creator tools almost always use fat32
[11:34] <ysis> Anubis1: So you cannot get to tty1 with Ctrl+Alt+F1 ?
[11:34] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis supported by what?
[11:34] <shooood> red2kic: skype-ubuntu-intrepid_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_amd64
[11:34] <andrelindgren> Hello! When I run update-grub it can't find my Win7-partition, even though it's browseable in Nautilus. Any suggestions? :)
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  usb disk creator tools for starters..
[11:34] <Anubis1> ysis: i tried already
[11:34] <red2kic> shooood: Wrong file. Go and grab 32-bit.
[11:34] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis I was told unetbootin uses what ever format is on the disk, that unetbootin supports all the FS, am I wrong?
[11:35] <shooood> red2kic : thanks i'll try it
[11:35] <Hobbes> I mean was I told wrong?
[11:35] <shooood> red2kic: how can i sreach for a pregram using terminal
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  i always see it use fat32, Most flash drives come fat32
[11:35] <llutz>  apt-cache search pattern1 pattern2 program
[11:35] <red2kic> shooood: "apt-cache search pidgin"
[11:36] <skurakai> Hi. I'am looking for game like rLines (glines with showing next turn - colours and place for showing new bubbles)
[11:36] <Daghdha> USB Installer doesn't know; ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64.iso  should i just rename it to a desktop 10.10 version it does know?
[11:36] <shooood> red2kic: thanks
[11:36] <Anubis1> so, any idea ?
[11:36] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: Does unetbootin support FS other then fat32 or not?
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  ive never noticed or tried or needed it to support anything else.
[11:37] <ysis> Anubis1: So you're stuck in a unusable X11 session? You could try Alt+SysRq+R to get the keybord to raw mode. Then try Alt+F1 again.
[11:37] <Daghdha> why isn't there a boot iso that just lets you pick a boot partition?  I got all needed drivers and updates, but i cant switch my wifi adapter ON - there is hardware switch (ON) and keybord switch (unactive). Seems like i have accidentaly switched my adapter OFF in windows before installing ubuntu and now i  cant switch it ON, because I deleted windows already...Is there some way how to switch my wif
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  because to boot specific os's often requires specific arguments/options.
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  there as some 'super grub' type disks out that may try to be smarter about it.
[11:38] <Temar> i broke my server :'(
[11:38] <ysis> Anubis1: Alt+SysRq+K should kill X, but maybe it will just restart and give the same situation. I would disable autostarting X11 and try with startx first.
[11:38] <Temar> i broke my server :'(
[11:38] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: What do you mean the other FS can use up more space, they either do or don't I would think
[11:39] <Temar> cant get it too boot up now
[11:39] <bazhang> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/#requirements  Hobbes have a read
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  You dont understand the internals of differnt filesystems then.
[11:39] <bazhang> Hobbes, please do some reading on this. this is getting offtopic
[11:39] <Daghdha> hehe super grub2 disk is what i want i think.. will try that l;ater too
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  a 1tb hard drive formated to fat32, vs one with ntfs.. will have differnt amounts of useable space.
[11:39] <Anubis1> ysis: i'm stucked in something. i don't know where. is there a way to restart in some interactive way and tell which services to start and which not >
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  and ext2/ext3/ext4 will also differ
[11:39] <Anubis1> ?
[11:40] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: With more advanced systems having less usable space?
[11:40] <bazhang> !ot | Hobbes
[11:40] <bazhang> Hobbes, please get back on topic.
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  check the wikipedia on filesytems it explanis it i think.
[11:40] <Hobbes> Bazhang: I've looked that page before
[11:41] <ysis> Anubis1: So switching to raw mode didn't work?
[11:41] <Anubis1> ysis: it didnt work at all
[11:41] <bazhang> Hobbes, this is not the place to discuss file system advantages/disadvantages. Please do some reading up on it.
[11:41] <Hobbes> bazhang: This relates to installing ubuntin from a flash drive
[11:41] <Anubis1> it like being dead somehow
[11:41] <bazhang> Hobbes, it requires fat32. lets move on
[11:42] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis, PM me please?
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  i could of had ubuntu installed 5 times in the time this converstation has been going on....
[11:42] <ysis> Anubis1: Hmm, do you have ssh access to the machine? I don't know how to enable/disable services in ubuntu at boot time... In Gentoo I can use press "i" to get into interactive boot mode. Don't know if this works for ubuntu or kubuntu
[11:42] <Temar> how can i fix m disk so it boots again?
[11:43] <piper69> how can i sniff packet between two router in my lan using tcpdump please?
[11:43] <llutz> !details | Temar
[11:44] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis so no PM?
[11:44] <Anubis1> ysis: i know that "i" is entering in interactive mode (redhat) but i'm not sure if it's working on ubuntu/kukbuntu
[11:44] <llutz> Temar: "cant get it too boot " is no error description
[11:44] <Temar> i got ubuntu 9.04 i was trying to setup raid, but due to not having seperate boot partitions i had problems, i can cant even get it to load it said system not found
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  I got other things going on.  you may want to read up on filsystems and stuff to learn fundamentals..
[11:44] <vinodkumar> hello
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> Hobbes:  stick to the actual ubuntu probolems you are having in here.. (what IS the actual problem anyway?()
[11:45] <pooltable> how to update maps on a gps tomtom?
[11:45] <vinodkumar> I cannot mount a specific ntfs partition
[11:45] <vinodkumar> I want to mount 3 partitions at boottime
[11:45] <vinzie> hello peeps
[11:46] <ysis> Anubis1: So did you try or google for ubuntu interactive boot mode? Sorry that I can't help more, but I never booted ubuntu interactively.
[11:46] <Temar> vinodkumar i think u need /etc/fstab
[11:46] <vinodkumar> http://pastie.org/1533628
[11:46] <vinodkumar> I edited fstab
[11:46] <vinodkumar> But the sda5 is not mounting..
[11:46] <vinzie> i m tryin to use my webcam...but its sayin video ot found..
[11:46] <ysis> Anubis1: You could also use a live cd to change the startup behavior I guess. But this is maybe a little fiddly.
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> vinodkumar:  the other 2 are working?
[11:47] <jacktheripper> I'm trying to compile a ruby extension. It can't find -lruby-static and libruby-static.a isn't there in any package on the ubuntu repos.
[11:47] <Hobbes> Dr_Willis: Not sure if I am allowed to say or not
[11:47] <sacarlson> Temar: did you use the alternate adition to install your raid system,  it seems to guide you through what can and can't do
[11:48] <Temar> i was just doing wat some webpage said to do
[11:48] <vinodkumar> yes
[11:48] <icedtea> how can I tell what version of ubuntu I'm on? Can't remember if I'm 10.10 or something else
[11:48] <Temar> i dont care about getting raid setup now, just want it bk online :p
[11:48] <sacarlson> Temar: so setup using the desktop edition?
[11:48] <bazhang> icedtea, lsb_release -a  in terminal
[11:48] <vinodkumar> After adding this, If I click on the partition in nautilus it says not privileged
[11:49] <Temar> i was doing comands and file edits
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> vinodkumar:  you need to use proper options to allow users to fully access the ntfs filesystems
[11:49] <icedtea> cool thanks bazhang
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> vinodkumar:  you may want to install and run the 'ntfs-config' tool.
[11:49] <awesomenickname> hey hey, tried to use Blueman. "Bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue." Googled a bit, but nothing useful. When I start `bluetoothd -u`, it, well, starts. How can I trace the problem?
[11:49] <Temar> i been undoing the file edits already using a recovering console
[11:49] <ysis> icedtea: Try Google first. ;-)
[11:49] <vinodkumar> OK.
[11:50] <Temar> tried doing a grub reinstall also
[11:50] <th_> awesomenickname, do you have a bluetooth service running?
[11:50] <sacarlson> Temar: if not much to loose sometimes easier just to reinstall
[11:50] <Temar> alot to lose
[11:50] <Temar> website, bots all sorts
[11:51] <Temar> altho i can transfer over onto a new install
[11:51] <Temar> but i wana get it all online asap
[11:51] <Temar> new install is alot of work
[11:51] <bazhang> !enter | Temar
[11:51] <sacarlson> Temar: trial and error is alot of work,  install is about 30 min
[11:52] <awesomenickname> th_ I'm not sure what is bluetooth service exactly.    $ ps aux | grep blue       gives me:            root  3252  0.0  0.1  27472  2016 ?  Ss   14:47   0:00 bluetoothd -u
[11:52] <Temar> install yes, setup everything not so quick :/
[11:52] <awesomenickname> th_ I also use wifi keyboard, but I had to pair it via cron through this:     hidd --connect E8:06:88:40:4F:2E
[11:52] <Temar> i dont mind install cuz it will be nice having a cleaned up system and latest version cuz im stuck/bugged at 9.04, its just time
[11:53] <sacarlson> Temar: ok so what does sudo fdisk -l look like now then
[11:53] <Temar> and server get used alot at certain times
[11:53] <Temar> hold on let me load up console
[11:53] <th_> awesomenickname, service called "bluetooth".
[11:55] <rsv> i am a broadcom wifi on my laptop it works on windows. how do i make it to work on ubuntu
[11:56] <awesomenickname> th_ no, there is only "bluetoothd". Also, when I start ubuntu's default bluetooth config, it says "Bluetooth disabled", with huge "Turn on" button. If I press it, nothing happens. If I reopen this setting, it still says "disabled"
[11:57] <vinodkumar> ntfs-config tool is not running
[11:57] <vinodkumar> It is crashing
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> http://www.ubunturoot.com/2010/11/fix-ntfs-configuration-tool-in-ubuntu.html
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> i was hopeing they had fixed that...
[11:58] <awesomenickname> th_  `sudo service bluetooth start` does the same thing - it starts bluetoothd (successfully, as I can tell by syslog)
[11:58] <sacarlson> rsv: slight more info on the broadcom would help like is it usb or pci,  if usb I can't help you, otherwise lshw | pastebinit
[11:58] <Temar> ok done the command, i got 2 drives listed, top (the 1 i want) has 3 partitians sda1 has * under Boot
[11:59] <rsv> i think it is pci or built into the motherboard
[11:59] <awesomenickname> th_    /etc/init.d/bluetooth status    ->    * bluetooth is running
[11:59] <th_> awesomenickname, good
[11:59] <rsv> i am not sure
[11:59] <th_> awesomenickname, so what was the problem?
[11:59] <sacarlson> rsv: if there no stick sticking out then it's pci
[12:00] <awesomenickname> th_ problem is, default manager says bluetooth is disabled, and blueman says "Bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue."
[12:01] <th_> awesomenickname, theres a daemon called bluez. do you have that one running?
[12:01] <awesomenickname> th_ no. How can I start it manually?
[12:02] <Temar> sacarlson?
[12:02] <sacarlson> ?

[12:03] <nettezzaumana> would any of you gimme list of packages related to default vnc stack in Ubuntu ... i think that "dpkg -S `which Xvnc`" will cover that

[12:04] <Kruptein> Hey I get this error after doing gksudo dpkg -i file.deb   http://dpaste.com/391260/
[12:04] <Kruptein> any ideas?
[12:04] <awesomenickname> th_ bluez package contains /etc/init.d/bluetooth, which I started earlier. There is no separate 'bluez' utility
[12:04] <th_> awesomenickname, aaah true. its just package containing everything needed

[12:10] <piper69> red2kic waht is lsof -i please
[12:10] <sacarlson> rsv: I can't seem to  see a wifi device in there
[12:10] <nettezzaumana> Seveas: vpn != vnc .. i'm interested about vnc
[12:10] <red2kic_> piper69: ls (list) of (open files)
[12:11] <sacarlson> rsv: I wonder if you have it disabled in bios or if rfkill will bring it back to life
[12:11] <nettezzaumana> Seveas: sorry .. not clue what's *vinagre
[12:11] <Seveas> nettezzaumana, vinagre is a vnc client, "vpn" was a typo :)
[12:11] <nettezzaumana> okay
[12:11] <Seveas> !info vinagre
[12:11] <Temar> no idea then sacarlson?
[12:11] <nettezzaumana> Seveas: thanks .. i need to investigate what's it .. i'm actually considering to switch tightvnc -> tigervnc
[12:11] <Seveas> though I prefer remmina myself
[12:12] <rsv> okay let me check
[12:12] <rsv> can i check in windows?
[12:12] <rsv> how do i?
[12:12] <Daghdha> hmm
[12:12] <sacarlson> Temar: try install rfkill and see what it see's
[12:13] <Temar> useing apt?
[12:13] <Daghdha> Dr_Willis: I tried super grub, it sees my grub on a partition and i tell it to boot. It then starts behaving exactly as when i try to boot from HDD. So i guess my grub2 installs to the MBR where correct. And something else is wrong.
[12:13] <piper69> red2kicwhy i got vino
[12:13] <sacarlson> Temar: also look in bios boot see if wifi is visable there
[12:13] <Temar> erm wifi?
[12:14] <Temar> think ur mixing up people
[12:14] <Daghdha> Screen just flashes every 4 seconds or so.
[12:14] <Temar> apt-get cant find rfkill
[12:15] <nettezzaumana> Seveas: would you pastebin for me or PM me a list of packages including that stack .. eg something like: dpkg -S `which Xvnc`; dpkg -S `which vncviewer`
[12:15] <Daghdha> Could it be because there is no swap partition?
[12:15] <piper69> red2kic so why vino pinging yahoo
[12:15] <Daghdha> (partimage didn't let m emake a backup for that)
[12:15] <hermidaprada> hi
[12:15] <red2kic> piper69: I have no idea.
[12:16] <piper69> red2kic i bet 'apt-get remove <pkg> --purge' will know better
[12:16] <piper69> :D
[12:18] <Temar> ok so when i installed ubuntu i got the server version, but i also installed stuff like ubuntu-desktop and KDE
[12:18] <piper69> ok so i removed vino but lsof -i still shows its running
[12:18] <jrib> piper69: so stop it
[12:18] <piper69> jrib kill it you mean
[12:19] <Temar> if i wanted to install new for same, should i get server version or just go for desktop (this is for a Server i just like a desktop on it)
[12:19] <jrib> piper69: I mean stop it.  Go to the gui and turn off desktop sharing.  That would be the first thing to try
[12:19] <esmirlin> hello! a question... i have a netbook and regular unity is sooooooo slow... so i want to know if someone has tryed the 2d version and if the performance really get better...
[12:20] <Incarus6> esmirlin, can you paste < glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" > ?
[12:20] <piper69> hahahahahahaha i can't beleive my self sometimes ....i have a terminal open on the server that is pinging yahoo
[12:21] <jrib> piper69: yahoo is going to be mad!
[12:21] <esmirlin> Incarus6, i'm not in ubuntu right now... i'm in bodhi (e17 ubuntu 10.04)
[12:22] <piper69> jrib hahah last time i was working on my server was Wed and it is Sun now...so that thing was pinging yahooo since Wed :D
[12:22] <aLeSD> hi all
[12:22] <Incarus6> esmirlin, Enlightenment? that command should work here too
[12:23] <Daghdha> What would cause a ubuntu install to flash every four seconds at boot? (Like it's in some loop crashing)
[12:23] <Daghdha> No text output at all
[12:23] <aLeSD> how can I check if my audio card EMU10k1 plays midi files ?
[12:23] <Temar> any 1 else able to help get my server book
[12:24] <esmirlin> ok i'll try
[12:24] <Temar> boot*, i dont wana have to reinstall right now, i wana go bed and people wana use it in like 3 hours (like 50 people :/ )
[12:25] <iluciv> hu
[12:25] <Incarus6> Temar, whats the exact problem?
[12:25] <iluciv> hi
[12:25] <Benkinooby> !unity
[12:25] <Temar> after trying to setup raid1 which i dont care about now, it wont boot at all
[12:26] <esmirlin> Incarus6, direct rendering: Yes
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  X server crashing/restarting could do that..
[12:27] <pylix> My Windows 7 OS has failed to boot up ever since i installed Ubuntu 10.10 . when i ran the diagnostic CD,(windows 7 install disk) it detected the installation and reported there were no problems with the startup
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  you have the system installed, or is this the live cd?
[12:27] <Temar> fdisk -l =  <Temar> ok done the command, i got 2 drives listed, top (the 1 i want) has 3 partitians sda1 has * under Boot
[12:27] <Incarus6> pylix, windows have to be allways the first partition on your hard drive, is that the case?
[12:27] <Daghdha> Dr_Willis: This is the backup i was grubbing. Turns out it was grubbed properly all the time and just doing something else wrong. It is IMMEDIATELY after boot.
[12:27] <Daghdha> So it'snot X.
[12:28] <Daghdha> boot of the device, not linux
[12:28] <pylix> it's /dev/sda1 if that what you mean
[12:28] <pylix> that's**
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:   it could be plymouth goofing up.. have you tried the 'text' or 'nomode' set options?
[12:28] <Daghdha> i am guessing it's m issing swap?
[12:28] <Benkinooby> !gnome-shell
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  swap partitions shouldent be making it crash.
[12:29] <Temar> isnt swap memory extension?
[12:29] <Daghdha> Dr_Willis: there is NOTHING to nomode or text on. Ok..
[12:29] <pylix> can i remove the boot altogether so windows can fix it's boot?
[12:29] <Benkinooby> if i understood correctly, unity is an gnome-shell. so it's "somehow like a theme" for the gnome desktop?
[12:29] <Benkinooby> som1 can verify that?
[12:29] <LjL> Benkinooby: it's much more than a theme
[12:29] <johnn> Hi, I need some help
[12:29] <Incarus6> pylix, you mean the mbr?
[12:29] <LjL> Benkinooby: a "theme" is merely graphics for an existing program
[12:29] <Daghdha> Dr_Willis: I turn it on.. it boots from had and starts flashing every 4 seconds. (I see the 'analogue' my monitor put up when there's no VGA when it flashes. So something is wrong.
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  if you dont see the grub menu. you hit the shift (or space?) key to get to the grub menu. and then can try some options.
[12:29] <Benkinooby> LjL, yes i understood. i just wanted the get the relationship right
[12:29] <esmirlin> Incarus6, so?
[12:29] <LjL> Benkinooby: unity is the whole graphical environment from which you start programs
[12:29] <Daghdha> pretty much about to give up tbh.
[12:30] <Daghdha> I don't see a grub menu
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> can you even get to the bios screen?  that almost sounds like somthing at the hardware issue if its crashing befor grub  even gets going.
[12:30] <johnn> After a clean up I did, everytime I reboot I have no window manager and I have to manualy enable the desktop effects.. What's going wrong?
[12:30] <Incarus6> esmirlin, interesting. can you paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  tap the shift key as it boots.. if grubs hidden it should show..
[12:30] <Benkinooby> LjL, but what i want to know is that is is on top of gnome... just not using the gnome-shell
[12:31] <sacarlson> Temar: yes got you confused with rsv when you didn't  add anything about the subject sorry
[12:31] <Daghdha> I see no grub
[12:31] <LjL> Benkinooby: that is correct
[12:31] <Daghdha> If i boot CD or USB it works.
[12:31] <Daghdha> the booting i mean, not my system.
[12:31] <juk> Benkinooby: on top of compiz also
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> if grub menu is set to be hidden.. you need to tap the shift key as it starts up. to get it to show. Or eidt the grub configs to make it always shopw.
[12:31]  * Dr_Willis hates how the defaults are often to hide grub.
[12:32] <Daghdha> i tabbed the hell out o fit, see nothing
[12:33] <johnn> After a clean up I did, everytime I reboot I have no window manager and I have to manualy enable the desktop effects.. What's going wrong?
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  sounds like its crashing befor grub even starts then.
[12:33] <Incarus6> johnn, but the problem is fixed yet?
[12:33] <johnn> any help, please?
[12:33] <sacarlson> Temar: well I don't see any info about a raid install,  what you gave me just says you have 3 partitions
[12:33] <pylix> i've ran 3 OS's(1 Ubuntu, windows xp and 7) before with no boot issues so i'm not sure what it is when i ever i try to boot windows it's just a black screen with a _ in the upper right corner. i've waited like 5 mins but it never moves
[12:33] <Daghdha> Bow before super grub disk!
[12:34] <esmirlin> Incarus6, http://pastebin.com/tapXvMYz
[12:34] <Daghdha> It is booting my backup
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> johnn:  perhaps install and run 'fusion-icon' that will let you select compiz or metacity as the default window manager.
[12:34] <Daghdha> WIN!
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  :) there ya go.
[12:34] <johnn> When I enable desktop effects is fixed, but after each reboot I loose the settings..
[12:34] <sacarlson> Temar: what file format are they?  can you mount them from a live cd boot?
[12:34] <Daghdha> for godsake. The guy that made taht disk is a GOD
[12:34] <Incarus6> pylix, with dual boot?
[12:34] <Temar> yer it says stuff about raid on the other hdd, i didnt change that to raid yet
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  if you got a spare flash drive. you can put a extra copy of grub on its mbr. for booting  rescue
[12:34] <Temar> wasnt a complete setup
[12:34] <Daghdha> uh..
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> actually even a floppy can work for that job.
[12:35] <Temar> ext3
[12:35] <pylix> yeah i'm running a dual atm except my windows 7 refused to load
[12:35] <pylix> refuses*
[12:35] <sacarlson> Temar: hard to peace this altogether
[12:35] <Temar> and yes i can mount but seems to be read online
[12:35]  * Daghdha will now run grub-update
[12:35] <Daghdha> And see if it will boot then
[12:35] <johnn> I am using Lucid Lynx, which is the default window manager on it?
[12:35] <Temar> only*
[12:36] <sacarlson> Temar: from a live cd you can't mount read write?
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  once i had to do a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and made SURE it was installing to the proper mbr on the proper hd..
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  that can also put a grub on the mbr of a flash drive. (thats how i make a backup flash rescue grub thing)
[12:36] <Temar> well it did its self
[12:36] <Daghdha> Dr_Willis: With all due respect... i think i will just keep a copy of the godlike super grub disk at hand instead :)
[12:36] <esmirlin> Incarus6, did you read?
[12:37] <Daghdha> ..
[12:37] <pylix> i'm gonna try it again
[12:37] <Daghdha> Dr_Willis .. is ubuntu 10.10 grub2?
[12:37] <johnn> Which is the default window manager on 10.04
[12:37] <johnn> ?
[12:37] <pylix> brb
[12:38] <karlo94> how I can connect to windows computer on same network?
[12:38] <Incarus6> esmirlin, i'm not sure about the last part of the file (line 394) but i can't find any abnormality here
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  yes
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> johnn:  compiz for effects. metacity for no effexcts
[12:38] <Daghdha> There are no grub2 commands though, they all grub-xxxxxxx commands
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  they are the same..
[12:39] <sacarlson> Temar: so what is your plan?  mount the raid disk partitions,  move them to a none raid partitions setup grub2 to point to the new disks and be done with it?
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> update-grub = update-grub2
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> ones a script that calls the other i think
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> johnn:  if ya got an issue ask in the channel.
[12:39] <johnn> How could I enable compiz?
[12:39] <johnn> permanently
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> johnn:  use fusion icon, is one way. or 'compiz --replace' is another.
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> !info fusion-icon
[12:40] <johnn> compiz replace is permanent?
[12:40] <Daghdha> Dr_Willis : I am rebooting now.. fingers crossed
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> johnn:  try it and see.
[12:40] <johnn> or I have to do it after each reboot..
[12:40] <johnn> ok
[12:40] <johnn> Thanks
[12:40] <johnn> !
[12:40] <Temar> right now i just wana get it so load 1 way or another i dont care, i decided to reinstall but when i have time to sort it all, and its only grub not 2
[12:41] <Daghdha> Works. So basically my work of approcimately 1.5 days can be summarized in: (1) Get super grub disk (2) Let it detect OS (3) update-grub2 .. done in 3 minutes.
[12:41] <Temar> ok i loaded up live, now how do i tell this to mount writeable
[12:41] <esmirlin> Incarus6, my computer shut down sorry did you read what you asked me?
[12:42] <Incarus6> [13:38:17] <Incarus6> esmirlin, i'm not sure about the last part of the file (line 394) but i can't find any abnormality here
[12:42] <sacarlson> Temar: oh I don't think grub-legacy will boot from a raid device but grub2 will, so that may have been where some of your problems started
[12:43] <Temar> yer i only had linux 9.04 due to upgrade issues
[12:43] <frimend> How do I download music from myspace? O_o
[12:43] <KB1JWQ> Temar: That's a Ubuntu version number, not a Linux version. :-)
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  my use of a rescue flash drive saves even more time.
[12:43] <Temar> yer thats wat i ment :p
[12:43] <frimend> I have found music that I like, and it says it's free and for downloading, but I don't know how to do it.
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  that dosent explain why booting a live cd, and chrooting in - dident fix it however..
[12:43] <frimend> I have found some third party programs, but they are for windows... :(
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:   or a command like this from a ubuntu live cd --> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/InstalledSystemMointPoint  /dev/sda --recheck
[12:44] <frimend> this is the song I am looking to download: http://www.myspace.com/yademusic/music/songs/hunter-6883715
[12:44] <Temar> can i like change it bk and not use grub
[12:44] <Daghdha> Dr_Willis: That is correct. It's a mystery.
[12:44] <sacarlson> temar: to mount a partition should be as easy as:  sudo mkdir /mnt; mount /dev/sda1 /mnt  and so on
[12:44] <Incarus6> frimend, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/ "For instance, if you go to a YouTube page, you'll be able to download the video directly on your file system. It also works with MySpace [...] and others."
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  Unless some how the drives where getting 'reordered' depending on what you were booting from. Ive seen some odd bioos's that do that.
[12:45] <Daghdha> I was thinking for a minute maybe ubu was grub1 and i was putting up grub2 all the time
[12:45] <Daghdha> But that'snot it

[12:45] <Daghdha> I liked LiLo
[12:45] <Daghdha> It had a cute name.
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  lilo had issues.. :)
[12:45] <Daghdha> Objective achieved though. i now have 2 HDD's
[12:45] <Daghdha> Yes, grub2 worked fine for me o_O
[12:46] <shooood> http://paste.ubuntu.com/563390/plain/
[12:46] <shooood> any help
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  you could even isntall grub to both hd's and boot either one to get to the same OS.. as a 'rescue' method.
[12:46] <Daghdha> Well, God may know what it was.
[12:46] <Daghdha> no they are not in the machien at the same time Dr_Willis. One is a backup.
[12:46] <Daghdha> I made a backup and this was the test to see if i could get it to restore and work on a new HDD
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  backups? we dont need no stinking backups! :)
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> compare the 2 disks drive layut and uuid's perhaps.. that might also be an issue.
[12:47] <Daghdha> I prefer not to spend days setting up simple things
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> ive rarely transfered a system from one hd to another..
[12:47] <gerber>     how to add video to ipod touch
[12:47] <Daghdha> I will just rely on super grub
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> if the UUID;s were differnt btween backup and original - that could explain a lot.
[12:48] <Daghdha> regrubbing won't fix that?
[12:48] <gerber>     how to add video to ipod touch
[12:48] <Daghdha> They were diff drives so probably uuid is diff.. that's kind of the point of a uuid
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:   depends on how you clone the hd.  UUID is also listed/used in fstab..

[12:49] <gerber>     how to add video to ipod touch
[12:49] <Daghdha> i made an image of the partition. Not the disk
[12:49] <Daghdha> i also did sfdisk for the partision info and wrote the MBR back using dd
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> in that case the uuid's would be differnt i belive
[12:50] <Incarus6> shooood, can you send a valid URL?
[12:50] <gerber>     how to add video to ipod touch
[12:50] <pylix> my boot failed again
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> in the past - i would dd  hd#1 to hd #2 - THEN use gparted to resize the  clone to use the rest of the space.
[12:50] <shooood> incarus6 : i'll try
[12:50] <gerber>     how to add video to ipod touch
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> Daghdha:  if you were not carefull with the mbr/dd command - you could have put the wrong partition information on the hd. but ive rarely used dd to backup.restore the mbr.

[13:01] <Dr_Willis> nickGGG:  make the directory first.
[13:01] <Anmol> #help
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> !upstart | th_
[13:01] <th_> it starts when the filesystem is mounted?
[13:01] <shooood> sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/mTWq9yZG
[13:01] <jrib> nickGGG: tar.gz of what?
[13:01] <nickGGG> Dr_Willis, but its made. there is opt in the home folder
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> th_:  all i ever do is disable services or enable them. i rarely edit the upstart configs
[13:02] <AbhijiT> !ask | Anmol
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> nickGGG:  /opt is NOT the same as /home/yourusername/opt
[13:02] <th_> Dr_Willis, yes but something forces the server up
[13:02] <nickGGG> Dr_Willis, i mean its in "file system"
[13:02] <TTY9> !tar
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> nickGGG:  you are using sudo as needed to get root rights to put things in /opt/ ?
[13:02] <jrib> Dr_Willis: the issue with renaming instead of editing the file is that you can't start it later if you want
[13:03] <nickGGG> Dr_Willis, yes
[13:03] <sacarlson> shooood: ok so witch of those 2 networks do you want to connect and know the passcodes for?  ESSID:"EchoLife_BM626_80462b"  or   ESSID:"mmmm"
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> nickGGG:  so you  'cd /opt' and you are in opt.. then you extract the archive? and get an error?
[13:04] <th_> Dr_Willis, you sure the server works as usual if wihtout that conf?
[13:04] <rsv> sacarlson: i checked it. for some reason the acer laptop is not displaying when i do lshw
[13:04] <shooood> sacarlson : hold on i don't understand
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> th_:   that conf being renamed would make sthe server not start..
[13:04] <rsv> sacarlson: is there a way to find out?
[13:04] <sacarlson> rsv: did you try bios and rfkill ?
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> make the service not start. :)
[13:04] <nickGGG> Dr_Willis, no. the archive is on the desktop and i need to extract it in /opt
[13:04] <shooood> sacarlson: ah echolife
[13:05] <rsv> sacarlson: i dont understand what you are saying
[13:05] <th_> Dr_Willis, i meant if i launch it manually
[13:05] <sacarlson> shooood: ok find the codes for that and fill it the boxes
[13:05] <jrib> th_: for ssh just do « sudo touch /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run » and ssh will not be started at boot
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> th_:  i never do it that way. You will have to try it and see.
[13:05] <shooood> sacarlson: how ???
[13:05] <sacarlson> rsv: install apt-get install rfkill
[13:06] <th_> jrib, hmm don't think thats going to work. i want to launch it manually
[13:06] <nickGGG> jrib, im trying to install xampp for linux
[13:07] <jrib> th_: although note from reading /etc/init/ssh.conf that won't let you start ssh through the script anyway :)  So try and make sure.  And if that's the case then just add "never" as a starting condition (i.e. change "start on filesystem" to "start on never and filesystem"
[13:07] <jrib> !lamp | nickGGG
[13:07] <sacarlson> shooood: I don't know I don't use encyption or network-manager, but you should just fill in the essid with the full name and the passcode hex number if you know them,  if you don't know the codes forget it
[13:07] <rsv> sacarlson: i installed it. and when i run lshw. i dont see my wifi card details
[13:08] <shooood> sacarlson : of course i know the password cause it's my router
[13:08] <sacarlson> rsv: ok run rfkill list
[13:08] <th_> jrib, just renamed /etc/init/ssh.conf
[13:08] <jrib> th_: this won't allow you to use the upstart job to start ssh later though :/
[13:09] <sacarlson> rsv: yes I understand you don't see your card in lshw I got that already
[13:09] <shooood> sacarlson : just tell me what to do in the device mac address and cloned mac address  i didn't find them in the router page
[13:09] <sacarlson> shooood: well there should be those two boxes to fill out then hit the connect
[13:09] <rsv> sacarlson: i see only bluetooth list and it says hard blocked: no and soft blocked:no
[13:09] <sacarlson> shooood: forget the mac address that's auto
[13:09] <droopal> Just wondered, if anybody could tell me what causes error message 'unable to mount, not authorised' when mounting usb stick or external dvd rewriter. Since upgrading to ubuntu 10.10 on netbook, cant use usb or dvd rewritter. can somebody help, or point me in the direction of somebody that can. Thanks.
[13:10] <shooood> sacarlson: what about bssid ??
[13:10] <th_> jrib, i renamed it back and added that never. think thats going ot work?
[13:10] <jrib> th_: should work
[13:10] <sacarlson> rsv: do you understand what boot into bios means?
[13:10] <th_> jrib, thanks
[13:10] <JunkyJames> hey i have ubuntu server 10.10 and i need to run 2 things on boot that never stop, any help?
[13:10] <rsv> sacarlson: i dont know
[13:11] <nimrod10> JunkyJames, what do you mean that never stop ?
[13:11] <sacarlson> rsv: well look at this http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000192.htm  and when you figure that out then look for the device with wifi make sure it's active
[13:12] <JunkyJames> nimrod10: one is minecraft server java file
[13:12] <menewbe> Isomebody gave me a dell poweredge 1850 server, it contains an intel 2.8GHz 800fsb xeon processor L2 2mb. I was wondering if this processor supports 64bit ubuntu server edition?
[13:12] <menewbe> how to find out?
[13:12] <JunkyJames> nimron10: the other is a php file that loops and does stuff
[13:12] <jrib> th_: might need parentheses after "start on" actually
[13:13] <nimrod10> JunkyJames, and you want them to start automatically ?
[13:13] <nimrod10> at boot ? JunkyJames
[13:13] <JunkyJames> nimrod10: yeah exactly
[13:13] <sacarlson> rsv: oh maybe there is an external switch near your keyboard for the wifi?  try pulse that also if you can,  see if an led indicator changes
[13:14] <m3asmi> how can I execute python script from apache
[13:14] <splashote1> hi, how can i free space on "/" ? I can't log in and df -h showed that / is 100% used
[13:14] <nodestep_> how do i reboot to root shell
[13:14] <nimrod10> JunkyJames, check out the documentation for   upstart scripts , create two upstart scripts for each of them and that is it
[13:14] <jrib> nodestep_: why?
[13:14] <nodestep_> jrib: i forgot my password on an old box
[13:14] <JunkyJames> nimrod10: ok thanks
[13:15] <jrib> splashote1: log in at a tty and do « sudo apt-get clean » to free up some space so you can log in (and then free up more space)
[13:15] <jrib> nodestep_: choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu
[13:15] <nodestep_> m3asmi: that is an apache question, there are very high quality python webservers and frameworks. Apache mod_wsgi
[13:16] <nodestep_> jrib: yes how do i get to grub? I didn't know it was installed if you just installed one distro
[13:16] <daniele> ciao
[13:16] <sunil> Hello...
[13:16] <sacarlson> nodestep_: I think it's like hold shift at boot until you get grub menu pic rescue or single user mode boot,  I forget the entry name
[13:16] <nodestep_> like with memtest
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> hold shift.. or tap shift like a tapdancer as it boots
[13:16] <Temar> ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!
[13:17] <sacarlson> nodestep_: not memtest but another entry
[13:17] <nodestep_> himik:  sunil
[13:17] <menewbe> there is nothing on the server and I'd like to know before installing anything
[13:17] <sacarlson> Temar: good for you
[13:17] <m3asmi> nodestep_: can you give me a web site
[13:17] <Temar> u disabled raid support on mother board
[13:17] <Temar> i*
[13:18] <sacarlson> Temar: oh hardware raid
[13:18] <daniele> ciao
[13:18] <Temar> i was doing software
[13:18] <daniele> stronzi
[13:18] <nodestep_> m3asmi: depends what you want to do with the script? Are you trying to make a website in Python?
[13:18] <rsv> sacarlson: i booted into bios. i see only a network boot option and it is disabled. i dont think it is bios thing since when it boots into windows wifi works
[13:18] <Temar> but disableing it there seems to have fixed it
[13:18] <splashote1> jrib: i did clean, autoclean and autoremove.. still can't log in
[13:18] <jrib> splashote1: well how much space do you have?
[13:18] <splashote1> jrib / is 13 GB
[13:19] <sacarlson> rsv: look for build in devices
[13:19] <jrib> sacarlson: I mean free space
[13:19] <rsv> sacarlson:  i didnt see that option
[13:19] <rsv> sacarlson:  i use a acer 4740 laptop
[13:19] <splashote1> jrib 0, 100% used
[13:20] <sacarlson> rsv: browse around in the windows you should see something like built in stuf
[13:20] <splashote1> jrib can i delete the staff in /var/backup ?
[13:20] <Temar> now sleep !! wats left of it (4 hours)
[13:20] <rsv> i didnt see that. i did see only the boot options and it had network boot, sata boot and so on
[13:20] <sacarlson> rsv: like onboard devices
[13:21] <rsv> sacarlson: i didnt see that i will check again
[13:21] <jrib> splashote1: I don't know.  But if I were you, I'd either start uninstalling things or removing stuff I don't need from my /home
[13:21] <rsv> sacarlson: it doesnt have a onboard devices options
[13:21] <vlrk1> which one will give me ubuntu desktop is it ubuntu server or ubuntu enterprise cloud
[13:21] <sacarlson> rsv: each bios is different so can't help you here
[13:21] <wingnut2626> hey i want to install the pulseaudio equalizer.  How do i do this?
[13:21] <splashote1> jrib home is seperated (encrypted) so it doesn't help me to free space there
[13:21] <sacarlson> rsv: well what does it have?
[13:21] <rsv> sacarlson: i dont think bios is turning off wifi. since it works on wifi

[13:25] <ranjan> vlrk1, then you can use it for installation
[13:25] <jrib> splashote1: well other than uninstalling things, you can try to find if there is a main cause for the lack of space (like an out of control log file for example)

[13:25] <Dr_Willis> vlrk1:  there was no need to use the dvd.. the ubuntu-desktop.iso would been a smaller download.
[13:25] <wingnut2626> does anyone know any audio equilizers for ubuntu and how to install them?
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> m3asmi:  nope.

[13:27] <vlrk1> no i guess..
[13:27] <ranjan> vlrk1, i mean did the DVD take you to the desktop instance of Ubuntu?
[13:27] <johnn> On which file I have to write an entry for compiz to be the default window manager on 10.04?
[13:27] <ranjan> vlrk1, or its still in the boot process/
[13:27] <vlrk1> it shows me 6 options like
[13:27] <ExTrUsiOn> will be get ubuntu help here or any other ubuntu channel as in case of mint
[13:27] <vlrk1> install ubuntu server
[13:28] <vlrk1> 2. ubuntu enterprise cloud
[13:28] <vlrk1> 3.check disk for details
[13:28] <vlrk1> 4.test memory
[13:28] <ranjan> vlrk1, that means you are using a server edition disk
[13:28] <dnivra> !mint | ExTrUsiOn
[13:28] <vlrk1> boot from hard disk
[13:28] <vlrk1> ok..

[13:29] <ExTrUsiOn> are u moderator here??
[13:29] <mcl0vin> what is userspace command line program please?
[13:29] <vlrk1> would picking server option works for me..
[13:30] <vlrk1> i.e no desktop
[13:30] <vlrk1> but i would get terminal
[13:30] <vlrk1> i mean shell where i can run linux programs and
[13:30] <scotty^> johnn - I think you choose it at the bottom of the screen before you login
[13:30] <ranjan> ExTrUsiOn, i am from kerala
[13:30] <ExTrUsiOn> ohk
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> vlrk1:  if you just want a terminal/servery type install.. yes
[13:30] <ranjan> vlrk1, yes you will get a terminal
[13:30] <vlrk1> see some of opensources is it works in that..
[13:30] <ExTrUsiOn> are you moderator here
[13:30] <johnn> I have no such an option anymore..
[13:31] <dnivra> johnn, System -> Administration -> Login Screen. You can select default session there.
[13:31] <ranjan> vlrk1, if you are comfortable with terminal then you can continue with the installation
[13:31] <dnivra> ranjan, may I PM you?
[13:31] <ranjan> dnivra, ok
[13:31] <vlrk1> last time when i tried with vmware
[13:31] <vlrk1> i did not got standard packages
[13:31] <vlrk1> like glib
[13:31] <vlrk1> or gcc
[13:31] <johnn> There is selected gnome
[13:31] <vlrk1> where i cannot compile a c program
[13:31] <vlrk1> and run it
[13:31] <johnn> but when I reboot I have no option on login screen
[13:32] <vlrk1> will this time will also be same..
[13:32] <scotty^> hmm
[13:32] <johnn> and it uses metacity as default window manager
[13:32] <johnn> I have to turn on the visual effects manually in order to use compiz
[13:32] <johnn> every time I logon
[13:33] <Fidelix> Is it possible to install VMware on Ubuntu 10.10 ?
[13:33] <johnn> and I cannot save this settings anyway
[13:33] <scotty^> john - maybe try what dnivra said then.  That's probably closer to your original question, too.
[13:33] <dnivra> !vmware | Fidelix
[13:34] <Fidelix> dnivra, these instructions do not work.
[13:34] <johnn> I tried that and gnome is selected
[13:34] <luca__> buon pomeriggio ho un problema  con ubuntu 10.10 dopo aver effettuato gli ultimi aggiornamente una settimana fa
[13:34] <dnivra> Fidelix, then I have no clue. sorry.
[13:34] <LjL> !it | luca__
[13:34] <johnn> I have to enetr an entry "export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/bin/compiz" in a file
[13:34] <johnn> which is that file?
[13:35] <johnn> That configures the logon session on 10.04?
[13:36] <splashote1> jrib in /media were 4GB lying around... now it's alright again
[13:36] <splashote1> jrib thanks for your hints!
[13:37] <bibic682> Hello, Has anyone ever tried and was successful in setting up an All in Wonder 9000 video card with the tv tuner WORKING ??
[13:37] <timeco> hi all any1 here got experience on getting babachess run on unbuntu 10 . 4 lts ?
[13:37] <onebitxajax> hi to all
[13:38] <onebitxajax> I have a fresh 10.10 install i macke sudo apt-get dist-upgrade OR sudto apt-get upgrade the 2 give me a lot of updates
[13:38] <johnn> anyone please?
[13:41] <bc81> johnn: no idea, maybe create a startup application of compiz --replace?
[13:41] <johnn> Is there any configuration file in 10.04?
[13:41] <johnn> for the login sesion?
[13:42] <lamefun> is Unity based on compiz 0.8 or 0.9?
[13:42] <xiq> 0.9 i think
[13:43] <bibic682> Radeon 9000 TV Tuner in Ubuntu.....anyone successful ?
[13:43] <xiq> i hate it when theres like 100 idle people
[13:43] <AbhijiT> lamefun, #ubuntu+1
[13:44] <AbhijiT> xiq, then you quit? it will become 99 then?
[13:44] <xiq> but.. i'm not an idler o.O
[13:45] <devkorcvince> help cant access ubuntu forums I'm installing samsung mfp 560 laser printer... i cant print it says the scheduler could not execute a filter
[13:45] <dnivra> AbhijiT, isn't #ubuntu+1 for natty and not unity?
[13:46] <icedtea> is there a ubuntu "unstable" tree, like debian?
[13:46] <AbhijiT> dnivra, is unity in lucid or before maverik? no? is unity in natty? yes? then by using <anycomplexscientific> law we can easily state that in taht channel the chanses are more the get info on unity
[13:46] <AbhijiT> what do you think?
[13:46] <xiq> i bet
[13:47] <dnivra> AbhijiT, unity is there in the repositories. and you go ask a support question in #ubuntu+1, sounds kind of odd.
[13:47] <AbhijiT> dnivra, then you dont go? so simple
[13:47] <xiq> hey i only have one partition, it's 2Terabyte. 500gig is full and i don't wanna loose it, is there some way to still install a distro?
[13:48] <xiq> *without the ont top of windows installation
[13:49] <dnivra> AbhijiT, then where do I ask about unity if I want to? ahh forget it. that question's been answered anyway.
[13:49] <ApacheOmega> good morning everybody
[13:49] <AbhijiT> dnivra, ask here first
[13:49] <ApacheOmega> I think I made a foolish mistake
[13:49] <ApacheOmega> Does anybody know what prewikka is???
[13:50] <johnn> Which is the appropriate file for this entry "export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/bin/compiz"?
[13:50] <vish> johnn: why are you trying that?
[13:50] <bc81> !anyone | ApacheOmega
[13:50] <johnn> Because starts with metacity and I want compiz
[13:51] <vish> johnn: have you tried removing your saved session? and logging in?
[13:51] <johnn> I can set it but every time I reboot falls back on metacity
[13:51] <johnn> How to remove?
[13:51] <ApacheOmega> I wasnt paying attention and this prewikka program was trying to link to mysql i wasnt paying attention but can some body tell me what this is?
[13:52] <johnn> How could I remove the saved session?
[13:52] <vish> johnn: remove from  ~/.gnome2/session
[13:53] <johnn> there is no session folder on .gnome2
[13:53] <ApacheOmega> Ok what is Gforge
[13:53] <kernelrain> hello
[13:53] <vish> johnn: make you you have turned off the automatic session save and after you have removed that folder, login and check

[13:55] <johnn> Where I can turn on or off the automatic session?
[13:56] <icedtea> does ubuntu have an "unstable" or experimental distro later than 10.10?
[13:56] <ApacheOmega> Ok should I be using MySql with prewikka and can sombody help me with the configuration
[13:56] <AbhijiT> !11.04 | icedtea

[14:11] <bc81> howdy kblin
[14:11] <brverg> can anyone please assist me... it's very annoying to have the flash player crash when you r watching your fav videos in youtube
[14:11] <Somelauw> I can't get bluetooth to work. (It used to work before)
[14:12] <kexcaliber380864> how to register nickname
[14:12] <kblin> I'm trying to install ubuntu-server on an old laptop. unfortunately the cd drive is shot and the bios won't boot from USB. I was considering using debootstrap from my PC to the laptop's hdd via USB, but the manpage seems to imply that's arch-dependent

[14:13] <AbhijiT> !register | kexcaliber380864
[14:13] <bc81> brverg: what do you have installed in the way of flash?
[14:13] <kblin> anyway, I seem to recall that using debootstrap to set up 32bit chroots from a 64bit host did work
[14:14] <TTY9> how can i see the ban list of the channel
[14:14] <bc81> kblin: can your BIOS do PXE boot?

[14:27] <d4n1s> how can I install a file with name libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
[14:27] <georgie_b> mr.snow richard how to paste into gvim with text copied from firefox?
[14:27] <BlueEagle> janet: You may need to !compile the package if you cannot find suitable !packages
[14:27] <snowrichard> i told you
[14:27] <georgie_b> didnt work
[14:27] <d4n1s> anyone know?
[14:27] <abhijit> :o
[14:27] <d4n1s> I have a file name libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 its a strange extension how can I install it?
[14:28] <georgie_b> what does the keymapping "+gP mean in gvim?
[14:28] <janet> BlueEagle: tell u wot, i'm going to try adding this site to my sources:  https://launchpad.net/~pmcenery/+archive/ppa; there appears to be a pre-compiled version there
[14:28] <d4n1s> Is this is the ubuntu's help channel?
[14:28] <BlueEagle> janet: If you find a .deb there then you can install that with any package manager.
[14:29] <rigved> d4n1s: yes. do you have a question?
[14:29] <far_> need help with locale cannot find charmap /usr/share/i18n
[14:29] <d4n1s> rigved yes, I have a file named libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 and I am supposed to install it on my ubuntu, but I dont know how
[14:29] <rigved> d4n1s: ok. just saw you question posted earlier. no you cannot install this file
[14:30] <rigved> d4n1s: you need to copy and paste this file in the proper place
[14:30] <d4n1s> But in the read me of a source code I am trying to compile says I need to install it
[14:30] <BlueEagle> d4n1s: Files named *.so* in linux are "Shared Object" files. They are akin to the .dll files found in Windows. You would most likely want to search for a .deb that provides the relevant .so-file.
[14:31] <chouchou> hello, I have been told ubuntu does not support webmim,

[14:32] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[14:32] <jrib> georgie_b: "+ refers to your clipboard, gP pastes
[14:33] <Kre10s> wouldn't compiling linksys firmware mean cross compiling...
[14:33] <d4n1s> rigved I guess they are more than the errors on the last line of my terminal, how can I log while I "make"
[14:33] <georgie_b> jrib does " mean quote or some other key like ctrl of shift..
[14:34] <jrib> georgie_b: " means the " button (quote)

[14:36] <chouchou> ok
[14:36] <jrib> georgie_b: you should run « vimtutor » to get some of the basics down
[14:37] <clarete> oi
[14:37] <mattcodes> finally transitioned to fluxbox, do you think ill have a problem sticking with ubuntu in longterm (i.e. will fluxbox packages be maintained) when they switch attention to unity?
[14:37] <georgie_b> well i've no problem with yankin nd pastin within vim but  from clipboard cant get the pastin right
[14:37] <rigved> d4n1s: run make in the terminal. after you get the errors, just use your mouse to copy the errors and paste it into http://goo.gl/ixcN9
[14:37] <georgie_b> with keyboard shortcuts
[14:38] <mattcodes> i ask not to make a premature shift, but because ill be provisioning a new laptop tomorrow and if 10.10 is end-of-line for other WMs on the ubuntu platform i'll bail now and take a dent to productivity whilst i learn/struggle with archlinux etc..
[14:38] <botcity> hi guys my xchat client will not save my favourite channels! anyone shed light on this ?
[14:39] <jrib> georgie_b: "* is the X clipboard (the one you usually use by highlighting and middle clicking) and "+ is the other clipboard (the one you usually use by ctrl-c and ctrl-v)
[14:39] <georgie_b> got it jrib
[14:39] <thiebaude> 10.10 is supported for 3 yrs, just saying
[14:39] <botcity> georgie_b: have you used vimtutor!
[14:39] <georgie_b> it workd now
[14:39] <georgie_b> thnx
[14:39] <jrib> thiebaude: 10.10 is supported for 18 months, isn't it?
[14:39] <rigved> !maverick | thiebaude
[14:39] <rigved> thiebaude: yes, only 18 months
[14:40] <georgie_b> ya.. but 10.04  is on LTS
[14:40] <rigved> thiebaude: lucid is supported for 3 yrs
[14:40] <ali438> hi
[14:40] <thiebaude> ok thanks i stand corrected guys
[14:41] <j-invariant> why can't ubuntu do japanese filenames in zip files?
[14:41] <j-invariant> I have to unzip it in the terminal to get the thing open at all, and even then it just gives <?><?><?>.mp3
[14:41] <mattcodes> finally transitioned to fluxbox, do you think ill have a problem sticking with ubuntu in longterm (i.e. will fluxbox packages be maintained) when they switch attention to unity?
[14:42] <d4n1s> rigved here is the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/563434/
[14:42] <mattcodes>  i ask not to make a premature shift, but because ill be provisioning a new laptop tomorrow and if 10.10 is end-of-line for other WMs on the ubuntu platform i'll bail now and take a dent to productivity whilst i learn/struggle with archlinux etc..
[14:42] <Gnea> someone once said that non-LTS released are supported for 1.5 years, but I haven't found a website that backs that up yet - anyone happen to know it?
[14:42] <mattcodes> (if this is dup i apologise, xchat is playing up)
[14:42] <jrib> mattcodes: fluxbox has never been the main WM so I don't see why it would be treated any differently than it is now (of course it will be maintained)
[14:42] <xangua> Gnea: 18 months = 1.5 years, yes
[14:43] <d4n1s> rigved the last 2 lines not appearing in the paste are here http://paste.ubuntu.com/563435/
[14:44] <jrib> Gnea: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[14:44] <thiebaude> so non LTS support for the desktop is 3 yrs?
[14:44] <irenicus09> hi guys I've been having some problem can someone help?
[14:44] <botcity> my xchat client will not save my favourite channels! anyone ?
[14:44] <jrib> thiebaude: no.  18 months.
[14:44] <thiebaude> ok
[14:44] <jrib> irenicus09: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[14:44] <Gnea> thiebaude: no, 1.5 years for non-LTS. LTS is 3 years on the desktop, 5 years for server.
[14:44] <thiebaude> gnea, i got it now thanks :)
[14:44] <mattcodes> jrib: excellent there seems to be a lot of hype around ubuntu direction, unity is great for the facebook fuckers, but it would nice if they stated full gnome/fluxbox support as to not alienate the dev users
[14:45] <Gnea> thiebaude: cheers
[14:45] <thiebaude> you too :)
[14:45] <thiebaude> Gnea,
[14:45] <mattcodes> heard the other day i wont be able to run gnome with next ubuntu but obviously PR shite - right?

[14:47] <iljo> hello, i have a question
[14:47] <crucialhoax> Why cant I connect to my AP with only 3 bars of reception by my Ipod touch can connect with 2?
[14:47] <rigved> d4n1s: ok. i'm looking over it now
[14:47] <crucialhoax> !ask iljo
[14:47] <crucialhoax> iljo: !ask
[14:48] <iljo> what packagage should i install on my ubuntu 10.10 so i can create mysql databases?
[14:48] <Gnea> mattcodes: well, the nice thing is that Ubuntu is quite modular, so you can set it up to be anything you want it to be on the desktop. As far as pre-packaging goes, certain things are put into place for actual releases, but there's always an alternative and server release which allows you to customize how you want.
[14:48] <yeats> !mysql | iljo
[14:48] <yeats> iljo: mysql-server
[14:48] <jorick> my / was getting full so created a new partition and cp'd /usr to it. then i added a line to fstab to use that partition as /usr. everything works but i forgot to rm /usr from my / and now i can't seem to reach it... what do?
[14:48] <iljo> thank you guys very much
[14:49] <irenicus09> can  someone help me fix this? http://pastebin.com/gqT9w0n0
[14:49] <Gnea> mattcodes: the regular Ubuntu desktop is just the flagship release simply for the fact that it's familiar.
[14:50] <mattcodes> the regular now being gnome
[14:50] <mattcodes> tomorrow being unity
[14:51] <mattcodes> why is the media (to be more precise tech media) being so anal about it then, gnome will get all the updates as will fluxbox etc.. facebook fuckers can have unity and everyone is happy. the annoucement by mark s seems to have relugated ubuntu to newb land by media accounts.

[15:02] <[wito]> On a more serious note; will a standard ubuntu install automatically detect an SSD drive and adjust its disk writing patterns appropriately?
[15:02] <v0lksman> rigved, compile it myself?
[15:02] <[wito]> ubottu: Looks like you just passed the Turing test. :P
[15:03] <yeats> !test
[15:03] <d4n1s> rigved no there isn't
[15:03] <rigved> v0lksman: yes
[15:03] <bibic682> anyone?
[15:04] <rigved> d4n1s: ok. so you are missing some pre-requisites...they should have been mentioned in the README file, but i'll just give you a list which I got off the net
[15:04] <Skaperen> Is there an "Ubuntu way" to get Xorg to start listening on TCP port 6000 for remote X clients?
[15:04] <Gnea> bibic682: in order to compile software, you need to setup the compile environment in ubuntu. if you consider that to be too much work, then compiling software isn't for you.
[15:04] <Gnea> !info xawtv
[15:05] <Gnea> bibic682: besides, all you need to type is:  sudo apt-get install xawtv   to have it installed instantly
[15:05] <B0o-supermario> !info toilet
[15:05] <rigved> d4n1s: wait...the file in which the instructions are mentioned, does it have a list of pre-requisites?
[15:05] <Skaperen> Gnea: install all the toolchains and all the *-dev packages ... seems simple enough to me
