[11:44] <Praduman> im sorry, that doesnt have anything to do with your problem, i was only testing mirc on my phone :)
[11:44] <slacker-> ok, got it
[11:44] <slacker-> thanks for listening

[11:49] <Nicolus> I edited the added file to svn how to commit my changes using command line SVN
[11:53] <timhurd> Hi guys, I have a problem with audio and video playback being very choppy on a fresh install of Xubuntu 11.10. Hopefully someone could help me out with this
[11:59] <Guest55102> What's the console command equivalent of clicking on the Shutdown option?
[12:00] <Nicolus> shutdown
[12:00] <DJones> Guest55102: "Sudo shutdown -h now"
[12:00] <Guest55102> ye, that's exactly bothering me
[12:00] <Guest55102> the need of sudo
[12:00] <Guest55102> i'm no superuser when i click shutdown
[12:00] <Nicolus> Guest55102, you can also set a timer to set the pc off at a specific interval of time
[12:00] <padhu> Guest55102: sudo poweroff
[12:01] <Guest55102> Is it possible without beeing superuser?
[12:02] <Guest55102> Just don't get me wrong. I wonder, why i'm not asked to enter my su password when i click shutdown but have to enter it, using the console.
[12:03] <Guest55102> Well, it's off to google again...
[12:03] <xtr3m3_> permissions
[12:03] <afeijo> bah, now that... this server does not has add-apt-repository command
[12:03] <whoppergator> Guest55102: There is a system-level helper hooked up to the gui with the shutdown permission, if i remember correctly.
[12:04] <Guest55102> thanks xtr3m3__ and whoppergator for the guideline, think i gonna see the problem now.
[12:04] <Guest55102> -gonna
[12:05] <freshinstall> hi, i
[12:05] <padhu> Guest55102: you should alter sudier file such as without password option.
[12:05] <freshinstall> i've spent all day reading forums to no avail.....
[12:05] <MI6_> hello
[12:05] <freshinstall> is xvicap audio just broken?
[12:06] <freshinstall> *xvidcap audio
[12:06] <MI6_> i have a problem with a libery how do i sort this elocation error: /lib32/libnss_files.so.2: symbol strcmp, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
[12:09] <Simooon> does anyone know how to only switch between windows on your current workspace? instead of all windows, like the alt+tab comand does at the moment.
[12:11] <SirFinkus> shift-alt-up
[12:13] <wdp> where is openoffice after installation in ubuntu? i can see only libreoffice, no openoffice
[12:13] <Simooon> there is no ooo
[12:13] <wdp> wtf?
[12:13] <ts2> wdp: libreoffice is openoffice, new name
[12:13] <Simooon> only libre office
[12:13] <Simooon> it is not the same although quite similar
[12:14] <wdp> well
[12:14] <ts2> it's a fork, but basicallly it's the same thing
[12:14] <wdp> i dont want libreoffice i want openoffice
[12:14] <wdp> and the installer tells me its openoffice
[12:14] <wdp> Oo
[12:14] <jolaren> Trying to setup Transmission GUI but I can't for the life of me login, whitelist works fine but not the password
[12:14] <ts2> wdp: openoffice is dead, the new project taking over is libreoffice, which is based from the same code as openoffice
[12:15] <wdp> ts2, source that its dead?
[12:15] <glebihan> wdp, the openoffice package in ubuntu is only a transitional package used to replace openoffice with libreoffice when openoffice was previously installed. openoffice is no longer supported on ubuntu
[12:15] <wdp> openoffice website doesnt tell anything about that
[12:15] <glebihan> ts2, openoffice is not dead
[12:16] <wdp> glebihan, i see. sucks though.
[12:16] <Simooon> SirFinkus, thanks, but that works, but do you know how to change alt+tab back to the way it used to work?
[12:16] <glebihan> wdp, why ? they're the same ?
[12:16] <SirFinkus> no idea, sorry
[12:16] <wdp> glebihan, if they're the same, why name them differently?
[12:16] <Simooon> SirFinkus, ok thanks anyway
[12:16] <glebihan> wdp, political issues, which lead to the fork
[12:17] <wdp> glebihan, if its a fork, they're not the same.
[12:17] <wdp> and i prefer the original.
[12:17] <glebihan> wdp, mostly licensing issues
[12:17] <glebihan> wdp, well at first it is
[12:17] <glebihan> wdp, name one difference
[12:17] <wdp> the icons :>
[12:17] <X0Rc0re> .
[12:17] <glebihan> wdp, yeah sure...
[12:17] <Simooon> Oracle was too controling as far as I understand
[12:17] <freshinstall> anyone here using xvidcap to take screen capture?
[12:17] <Unkn0wn1337> hello
[12:17] <Unkn0wn1337> i have a problem with a libery how do i sort this elocation error: /lib32/libnss_files.so.2: symbol strcmp, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
[12:18] <Unkn0wn1337> i have a problem with a libery how do i sort this elocation error: /lib32/libnss_files.so.2: symbol strcmp, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
[12:19] <overclucker> The differences between oo and libre are not outstanding yet
[12:19] <Unkn0wn1337> ok
[12:19] <bipul> Any ubuntu leet here
[12:19] <Myrtti> bipul: ubuntu what?
[12:19] <Simooon> 1337 ftw
[12:20] <freshinstall> bipul, is that your only question? ;-)
[12:20] <bipul> 1337-ubuntu
[12:20] <jolaren> What's wrong with my Transmission config? I can't login but I can visit the site and I see the login window.. but my passwords wont work.. Can anyone take alook? http://pastebin.ca/2103500
[12:20] <bipul> freshinstall,  yes
[12:20] <freshinstall> bipul, well, probably then! :-)
[12:20] <wdp> glebihan, i'm mostly concerned of having to re-learn things (not for me, but for my mom, for whom i've setup ubuntu). She knows "openoffice" and uses it. As soon as she see's "libre"office she will ask me what that is. Then the icons aren't looking the same, and as it's a fork i'm sure there are more difference. probably growing differences over time (thats the usual idea behind a fork - implementing / changing stuff which wasn't possible to change in th
[12:21] <wdp> e original)
[12:21] <jiohdi> wdp, by the time differences matter, she would be used to it
[12:21] <wdp> glebihan, keeping that in mind, i'd prefer to stick to the original if possible. However, i don't want to go through the steps of installing it manually. seems i have to stick to libre then.
[12:21] <jiohdi> but right now its practically identicle
[12:21] <glebihan> wdp, at the time, I can guarantee you there are pretty much no noticeable differences apart from icons
[12:21] <wdp> alright. thanks.
[12:22] <freshinstall> wdp, go to oracle.com and download it, i guess
[12:23] <cjoke> what is the preferred tool to install themes in gnome-shell ?

[12:25] <draioch> hi my login user/pass suddenly no work no more tried all obvious any way to reset it using latest lubuntu thx
[12:27] <overclucker> draioch: did you try reseting in recovery mode?
[12:28] <draioch> how do a do that thx
[12:30] <overclucker> when you start your computer, repeatedly tap ESC until you see the grub boot menu. then select recovery mode
[12:31] <overclucker> that should drop you into a root shell, in which you will be able to reset your password with this command: passwd username
[12:32] <draioch> thx overclucker ur a gem!
[12:32] <overclucker> i know it
[12:32] <draioch> ;)

[12:48] <Slart> mrd_: you might want to explain what you're looking for.. what kind of network are you going to monitor, what kind of information do you want to find, how do you want it presented.. we're not really good at reading minds here =)
[12:48] <Dazmo> im not sure also what sofware to use

[12:50] <Psi-Jack> Oh sheash, another one!
[12:50] <Dazmo> itll be for just serving some numbers so i can mold a client onto another machine, so i can learn how to program internet connected games

[12:51] <shankar> can anyone help me regarding  live usb for ubuntu?  i tried lot of methods it works well but i want it to work like as if it is installed in my usb.
[12:52] <shrek1> how to block a process permanently to start ?
[12:52] <diverdude> Hello. I am trying to setup subdomains in my debian box w. apache. I managed to make it work very well for http, but for https there seem to be problems. I have these setups: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/710767679 Upper is for http and lower is for https. What am I doing wrong in the https setup?
[12:52] <shankar> anyone has an idea to disable welcome message in ubuntu ?
[12:53] <_azura> i have an issue screen(s) found but none have a usable configuration
[12:53] <ikonia> diverdude: try #debian
[12:53] <stokachu> Dazmo, over http?
[12:53] <Dazmo> oh, yeah
[12:53] <shankar> i'm using ubuntu 11.10 anyone know to disable welcome message in live usb?
[12:53] <X0Rc0re> Psi-Jack: cool story bro ;)
[12:54] <Dazmo> well wait. . .
[12:54] <shankar> ok
[12:54] <Humbedooh> diverdude, try #debian or #apache or such - and well, "*" and "_default_" are not the same :>
[12:54] <Dazmo> im kind of rubbish at networking. I dont necessarily need any hypertext, just so long as i can put the code in the client that says "go to this address, get this data, and upload this data" and the server receives the instruct and does it
[12:55] <Dazmo> i know about xamp, but im not usre if its waht i need since Im using .net to develop the client
[12:56] <ikonia> X0Rc0re: are you running ubuntu or debian ?
[12:57] <stokachu> Dazmo, it really just depends.. you could create a socket to accept connections from your .net client and perform some action on the data
[12:57] <X0Rc0re> BT5
[12:57] <shankar> i'm using ubuntu 11.10 with persistence, i want to disable welcome message and live session any idea?
[12:57] <stokachu> Dazmo, you may can get away with writing a server in mono
[12:57] <ikonia> X0Rc0re: ok - so the correct channel for you is #backtrack-linux
[12:57] <ikonia> X0Rc0re: please ask there.
[12:57] <X0Rc0re> i asked there
[12:57] <X0Rc0re> no response
[12:58] <ikonia> X0Rc0re: ok, well wait for a response there
[12:58] <xsl> hello all, wen i try to remove the package "eject" it wants to remove "ubuntu-minimal" is there a problem that this last package is removed - it sounds like an reference package.
[12:58] <ikonia> X0Rc0re: #debian = debian support #ubuntuy = ubuntu support, back track is neither of those,
[12:58] <shankar> ok bye
[12:59] <pfifo> !info ubuntu-minimal
[12:59] <pfifo> xsl, its a meta package, removing it dosent do anything
[13:00] <xsl> pfifo: all meta package can be removed? like ubuntu-standard
[13:00] <xsl> !info ubuntu-standard
[13:00] <stokachu> Dazmo, if you are primarily .net i think you'll be comfortable with mono and can write a server application that way
[13:02] <pfifo> xsl yes
[13:02] <overclucker> X0Rc0re: probably a glib version error. anyways, the source code looks like it is for freebsd, so unless you can figure out how to compile it on a linux system, you are out of luck
[13:04] <andreavda> hi guys !
[13:04] <andreavda> please can any1 help me with the installation of ubuntu ?
[13:04] <shrek1> i having problem with my brcmsmac module in ubuntu 11.10 . my system hangs in WiFi network too frequently
[13:04] <andreavda> I'm stuck because I have to make partitions
[13:05] <shrek1> andreavda: where you stuck?
[13:05] <andreavda> Hi shrek !
[13:05] <pfifo> andreavda, whats the problem?
[13:06] <andreavda> right now I have to do a primary root partition (they told me to do so), so I've put the check on "primary" but I have to set a mount point, unfortunately in mount point I cannot find /root
[13:06] <pfifo> andreavda, root is simply /
[13:07] <andreavda> thanks
[13:07] <Dazmo> So look into mono and learn sockets. thank you guys :)
[13:07] <jolaren> I get errors when downloading things in Transmission.. I get permissions errors but I have done chmod 777 and chown 777 on the directory in question.. wehn I try to figure out what user is running it says 115 - which is root? anyways - can someone please point me in the right direction?? :( 115       9181     1  1 14:01 ?        00:00:01 /usr/bin/transmission-daemon --c                  onfig-dir /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info
[13:07] <shrek1> i having problem with my brcmsmac module in ubuntu 11.10 . my system hangs in WiFi network too frequently. again asking!!
[13:07] <pfifo> jolaren, root id 0
[13:08] <jrib> jolaren: I imagine your chown and chmod is the cause of the issue
[13:08] <jolaren> jrib: how to fix this then? I'v been fiddling with this all day getting the tunnel to work
[13:08] <jrib> jolaren: undo what you did for starters
[13:08] <ahmad> #ubuntu-ir
[13:09] <geirha> jolaren: getent passwd 115   #probably debian-transmission
[13:09] <pfifo> jolaren, you did a `chown 777` cause there isnt a user with the id 777
[13:09] <MonkeyDust> ah, there's ahmad again
[13:09] <DJones> ahmad: You keep forgetting the "/join"
[13:09] <jolaren> pfifo: I want everyone to be able to write n read .. thought that was what 777 was for
[13:09] <geirha> And chmod 777 is always wrong
[13:09] <jolaren> geirha: thanks, cool command!
[13:10] <ahmad> sorry
[13:10] <pfifo> jolaren, chmod 777 and chown <user id>
[13:10] <[ptr]xyz> Damzo, take node.js for that
[13:10] <jolaren> pfifo: need to make that from every single user? I mean chown? or can I run it as a different user
[13:10] <[ptr]xyz> just in case you still need a solution. the thing you need is more or less a 10-lines-of-code-script.
[13:10] <pfifo> geirha, chmod 777 is valid
[13:11] <geirha> pfifo: Valid yes, but the wrong approach
[13:11] <pfifo> jolaren, i do it like this `chmod 0777 -R /path/to/dir && chown 0:0 -R /path/to/dir`
[13:12] <llutz_> pfifo: you don't want world-writable dirs in your system
[13:12] <geirha> jolaren: The proper way to do that is to create a group for the purpose, add all the non-system users to that group, set that group as group owner of the directories, then do chmod 2775 or chmod 2770
[13:12] <xsl> well use just 5 instead of 7
[13:12] <andreavda> so guys, can you please check if I've formatted my hd the proper way ? I've got a 500 gb internal hard drive, I have a 13 GB ext4 root primary partition,            a 2 GB linux-swap primary partition (the ram of my pc is just 1 GB), a 1 GB ext4 logical partition and a 484 GB NTFS partition (used only for storage, for accessing files I need everyday I'll use the 1 GB logical partition)
[13:12] <xsl> geirha: why 2 in your mode?
[13:12] <xsl> why not 0775 ?
[13:12] <draioch> thx overclucker ur a gem!
[13:13] <pfifo> llutz, /tmp
[13:13] <geirha> xsl: setgid on a directory makes files and directories created inside it inherit the group ownership of the directory (instead of using the gid of the user)
[13:13] <jolaren> geirha: I will monitor that, thank you for helping me not only to fix the "problem" but also helping me to adress the "issue" as said earlier.
[13:13] <[ptr]xyz> andreavda, send the input of fdisk -l
[13:13] <llutz_> pfifo: special dir, with special pemrissions (1777)
[13:14] <MonkeyDust> andreavda  type sudo fdisk -l|pastebibinit , you'll get an url, paste that here
[13:14] <MonkeyDust> correction: andreavda  type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit , you'll get an url, paste that here
[13:14] <jolaren> pfifo: same to you..
[13:14] <jolaren> pfifo: it still gives me access denied thought! even after that
[13:14] <Noxville> Is there a decent graphic-equalizer for alsa?
[13:14] <jolaren> pfifo: i just did chown 115 filmer
[13:14] <jolaren> pfifo: still error
[13:15] <andreavda> sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit
[13:15] <pfifo> jolaren, issue an `ls -lA /path/to` and pastebin if > 3 lines
[13:15] <MonkeyDust> andreavda  in a terminal
[13:15] <geirha> jolaren: Check what the incomplete dir is set to (if it is enabled) and make sure that is also writable for the debian-transmission user.
[13:15] <andreavda> and what is that supposed to do ?
[13:16] <MonkeyDust> andreavda  so we can see how you partitioned
[13:16] <[ptr]xyz> monkey, i already told him, seems he doesnt reply ;)
[13:16] <[ptr]xyz> dont spam him :D
[13:16] <MonkeyDust> ?
[13:16] <andreavda> ok wait a min, coz I'm not using the pc on which I'll install linux
[13:17] <jolaren> pfifo: geirha 1 sec
[13:17] <xsl> geirha: if i have already a structure of directories ... lets say for example /opt/john/doe/directory  if i chgroup groupname /opt/john && chmod 2770 - only the next created files and folder will belong to the group ... right?
[13:17] <geirha> xsl: Right
[13:18] <andreavda> I'm sorry monkey but on this version of ubuntu I can't find the terminal
[13:18] <geirha> xsl: So the already existing files will have to be handled manually
[13:18] <xsl> -R then
[13:18] <MonkeyDust> andreavda  ctrl-alt t
[13:18] <roger3> ctrl-alt-t

[13:20] <elbrinke> I want to but cannot find the location  to reference in script
[13:20] <ikonia> elbrinke: is there a reason you are not using qt packaged by ubuntu ?
[13:20] <pfifo> elbrinke, install qt4-qmake
[13:21] <Noxville> Is there a decent graphic-equalizer for alsa-devices?
[13:21] <elbrinke> ok.
[13:21] <jolaren> pfifo: If I just want everyone to be able to read n write there.. what should I do?
[13:21] <MonkeyDust> Noxville  have you looked in synaptic?
[13:21] <elbrinke> i will try and give feedback, thx
[13:21] <jolaren> I'm using a ssh tunnel to access it anyway, it doesn't really matter.
[13:21] <elbrinke> ash it;s already installed
[13:22] <xsl> geirha: sorry to abuse your help :D but one more question if you can :) - if i setup the dirs like that..how can i force a user that creates a file there with nautilus that the file will become 550 or 770
[13:23] <Noxville> MonkeyDust: yes
[13:23] <geirha> xsl: You cannot, not with conventional file modes anyway.
[13:23] <andreavda> sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit
[13:23] <xsl> geirha: i tryed setting umask on users profile and in global profile.. and its never donne
[13:24] <andreavda> sorry my fault
[13:24] <xsl> the trick i have is a cron job that chmod -R the directories from time to time
[13:24] <llutz_> xsl:  POSIX ACL could do that
[13:24] <geirha> xsl: You could set a umask in /etc/profile, but users may override that with their local ~/.profile. However, even with the most permissive umask, files will NOT be created with execute bits set
[13:24] <andreavda> here we go
[13:24] <andreavda> http://paste.ubuntu.com/806176/
[13:25] <xsl> llutz: i will take a look at POSIX ACL ty
[13:25] <xsl> geirha: yes.. i have that problem
[13:25] <xsl> i use ubuntu to serve ltsp desktops
[13:25] <Pici> '62
[13:25] <xsl> and i have a /opt/shared/files/ that users create files that should be used by all
[13:26] <geirha> xsl: you really don't want files to have execute permissions by default though
[13:26] <xsl> geirha: i dont need execute permissions... i just need the 550 or 555
[13:26] <xsl> oops
[13:26] <xsl> 666
[13:26] <xsl> rw
[13:26] <xsl> :)
[13:26] <ikonia> xsl: stop it now
[13:27] <xsl> ikonia: sorry it was not my intention to flood
[13:27] <andreavda> monkey tu es belge ?
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> andreavda  yes
[13:28] <cvam> result of uname -m -p -i  is  i686 i686 i386. My system processor is 64 bit but I install maverick 32 bit version & then upgraded to  natty. Now I want to change hardware platform  to i686 from i386 when upgrade to oneiric how ?
[13:29] <ikonia> cvam: 386 = 686
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> cvam  easiest and safest is to backup important data and do a fresh install
[13:29] <ikonia> cvam: it's just wording, it should really be "x86"
[13:29] <geirha> cvam: You mean upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit? That's not really supported, and will be very complicated to do. I suggest you do a fresh install instead.
[13:32] <Stereocaulon> cvam, there is no safe way to upgrade to 64-bit. If you have a separate /home partition and other strictly data partitions , you should be able to keep those, wipe the rest and do a fresh install of 64 bit.
[13:32] <Stereocaulon> cvam, and *always* make a backup a first...
[13:34] <cvam> is there any way to backup the whole system  ie if firefox(with bookmarks,history ),eclipse (with codes, projects) and all other apps
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> !backup| cvam
[13:35] <LjL> cvam: on the one hand you need to store a list of your installed programs (see !cloning for that), and on the other you need to backup your /home
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> cvam  I use this http://paste.ubuntu.com/806187/
[13:38] <Stereocaulon> Which manager behaves the most like Windows Explorer? I´m about to install a linux desktop for an old man who is quite proficient with Windows, but averse to change of habits.
[13:38] <juniour__> hi how to install java
[13:38] <Stereocaulon> !java | juniour__
[13:39] <juniour__> hi how to install java
[13:39] <LjL> juniour__: you've just been answered
[13:41] <LABcrab> Hello people!  What is the easiest way to convert VCR to digital on Ubuntu?
[13:41] <Psi-Jack> There is none, LABcrab .
[13:41] <Psi-Jack> No easiest way.
[13:42] <pfifo> LABcrab, hire someone else to do it
[13:42] <Psi-Jack> Heh
[13:42] <Psi-Jack> It'll take a TV Tuner card, a VCR, and  a recording application. Simply put, it's going to be a 1:1 time dilation, minimum.
[13:42] <LABcrab> In Vista it's simply VLC and there you go.
[13:43] <LjL> LABcrab: so use VLC?
[13:43] <Psi-Jack> That's wonderful.
[13:43] <Psi-Jack> Point?
[13:43] <LABcrab> i understand it will take me as long as the video is.
[13:44] <LABcrab> what hardware works well with Ubuntu?
[13:44] <wdp> Psi-Jack, pfifo you're both wrong.
[13:44] <LjL> !tv | LABcrab
[13:44] <wdp> the easiest way for a vcr to digital conversation is to buy the dvd.
[13:44] <wdp> :D
[13:44] <Stereocaulon> LABcrab, if you are proficient in Audio/ Video editing and you do it a lot, check out Ubuntu Studio.
[13:45] <LABcrab> maybe.
[13:46] <LABcrab> ciao!
[13:48] <juniour> how to install java
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> juniour  see up, you've been answered
[13:50] <juniour> who the hell kicked me
[13:50] <juniour> wt you think of
[13:50] <juniour> you
[13:50] <juniour> ......
[13:50] <LjL> juniour: calm down. you were kicked because you kept asking the same question without listening to answers.
[13:50]  * wdp giggles
[13:50] <mosx1> hi, I have a really basic question...I have an ubuntu server that I can connect to as myusername, I am the only user and if I use sudo I get admin priviliges. Q. Is there still a root user that I don't know the password for ???
[13:50] <juniour> no i am not askin the sam e ques
[13:51] <juniour> i got result i worked on that
[13:51] <LjL> !java > juniour this tells you how to install it
[13:51] <juniour> but tha solution dodnt work
[13:51] <OerHeks> OpenJDK is awesome
[13:51] <juniour> that y i ask again
[13:51] <LjL> juniour: then say so, and explain.
[13:51] <juniour> k
[13:51] <Pumpkin-> mosx1: there is still a root user, and that root user has an "invalid" password, so you literally cannot login (or su to root) using that password. It is recommended you keep it that way.
[13:51] <LjL> juniour: how did it not work? what didn't work? what were you stuck at? just keeping saying "how to install java" is of no use.
[13:52] <juniour> every one is here to help or take somethin
[13:52] <stevegjacobs> #openstack
[13:52] <juniour> we dont have time
[13:52] <juniour> k
[13:52] <mosx1> I'm connecting with FileZilla and getting permission denied while trying to upload files outside of www
[13:52] <LjL> juniour: you're making no sense. please ask your question in a comprehensible manner, or you'll just be kicked again.
[13:53] <jutnux> juniour: Everyone here is a volunteer. Please give them enough time to help sort through your problem and have a little patience.
[13:53] <llutz_> !patience | juniour
[13:53] <MonkeyDust> juniour  better explain what you did and tried before you came here for advice
[13:53] <juniour> ya i know
[13:53] <juniour> man
[13:53] <juniour>  i am since 2009
[13:53] <Thiago_Magalhaes> [mosx1]: maybe you can activate root passwd using: sudo passwd
[13:53] <LjL> juniour: enough. *ask your question*.
[13:54] <juniour> hey i think i have installed all the plugins  of java
[13:54] <juniour> but it dident work
[13:54] <theadmin> juniour: How did you install it anyway?
[13:54] <juniour>  watch this site
[13:54] <LjL> juniour: what does typing "java -version" in a terminal tell you?
[13:54] <juniour> http://www.keepvid.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DqgUGbokxe4U%26feature%3Dg-all-lik%26context%3DG27ea830FAAAAAAAAAAA
[13:55] <jutnux> That's not installing Java, that is an applet.
[13:55] <jutnux> @juniour
[13:55] <juniour> java version "1.6.0_20"
[13:55] <juniour> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.10) (6b20-1.9.10-0ubuntu1~10.10.2)
[13:55] <juniour> OpenJDK Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)
[13:55] <LjL> ok
[13:55] <theadmin> juniour: So you do have Java, but not the browser plugin, it seems
[13:56] <theadmin> juniour: sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin
[13:56] <theadmin> All done.
[13:56] <LjL> juniour: sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin
[13:56] <theadmin> Or that.
[13:56] <shadowcry> Hi, I am a Mint user and in switching to Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop any advice?
[13:56] <mosx1> Thiago: thx that worked fine
[13:56] <theadmin> shadowcry: Honestly? Don't switch. If you plan to switch anyway, well, you should get used to the Unity desktop.
[13:56] <juniour_> hi
[13:56] <MonkeyDust> shadowcry  backup first!
[13:56] <juniour_> guys
[13:57] <shadowcry> theadmin: Why not wsith?
[13:57] <Thiago_Magalhaes> mosx1 Good! =)
[13:57] <juniour_> i have used  sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
[13:57] <shadowcry> theadmin: I am switching _from_ Mint 12 _to_ Ubuntu 11.10
[13:57] <juniour_> for installation for java
[13:57] <theadmin> shadowcry: It's offtopic here, but basically, Ubuntu's current desktop (Unity) is hated by many people
[13:57] <LjL> juniour_: what version of Ubuntu are you using? Sun Java is no longer in the repositories.
[13:57] <shadowcry> ah really? what version should I get then?
[13:57] <juniour_> 10.10
[13:57] <murphy> Hi
[13:57] <shadowcry> Seriously?
[13:57] <shadowcry> its it still as good
[13:57] <LjL> juniour_: have you restarted your browser after installing the plugin?
[13:58] <juniour_> ya
[13:58] <mosx1> quick question though. I'm trying to create a new virtual host for apache and used ftp to grab a copy of the default in sites-enabled before renaming and uploading back up....I'm guessing this isn't the preferred approach? what is?
[13:58] <theadmin> shadowcry: I suggest you use Xubuntu, honestly, it's my favorite *buntu edition personally
[13:58] <shadowcry> Xubunutu? ok i iwll look
[13:58] <juniour_> LjL is it install java  sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
[13:58] <shadowcry> Xubuntu 11.10 or 10.10
[13:59] <LjL> juniour_: well, i'd rather you installed OpenJDK. apparently you now have both installed.
[13:59] <LjL> juniour_: please try doing "sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-plugin" and then "sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin"
[13:59] <MonkeyDust> juniour  sun-java is no longer supported
[13:59] <shadowcry> theadmin:
[13:59] <juniour_> LjL open jdk development kit
[13:59] <shadowcry> Xubuntu 11.10 or 10.10

[14:01] <murphy> LjL: when I update any file in my local, it will generate a name.~file, who can tell me how to forestall?

[14:09] <sskalnik> Using 11.10. Trying to configure a remote device that has no IP address. Tried "arp -s <IP> <Ether>", but that didn't seem to work. Can't ping it still. :/ Ideas?
[14:09] <tomeo> Im having some trouble with a PC so I booted up liveUbuntu and it says "gdu-notification deamon - a hard disk may be failing" how accurate are these messages?
[14:10] <jamesmtechy> i assume the desktop is the live edition?
[14:10] <jutnux> tomeo: Accurate.
[14:10] <LjL> tomeo: when they actually say it's failing, you *should* worry. install "smartmontools" and run "sudo smartctl -H /dev/your-hard-drive"
[14:11] <tomeo> How do I know which harddrive its talking about?
[14:11] <Maria94> how to copy the text from xchat?
[14:11] <LjL> tomeo: try /dev/sda and /dev/sdb for starters
[14:11] <jutnux> Maria94: Like you would in any other program.
[14:12] <Maria94> here is no copy and paste :(
[14:12] <jutnux> Maria94: Control+C to copy, Control+V to paste.
[14:12] <tomeo> LjL: cant install smartmontools, probably because its a liveCD
[14:12] <Maria94> ty
[14:13] <LjL> tomeo: uhm, you should still be able to. maybe it's in Universe and you don't have that enabled - uncomment the Universe lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
[14:13] <LjL> !info smartmontools
[14:13] <jutnux> tomeo: Then connect to theInternet and download it.
[14:13] <LjL> tomeo: actually no it's in main. you should be able to install it... "sudo apt-get install smartmontools"
[14:13] <tomeo> lol, Im an idiot
[14:13] <tomeo> I tried apt-get with no internet connection
[14:13] <LjL> oh :)

[14:16] <LjL> Maria94: oh
[14:16] <Maria94> yes

[14:17] <LjL> tomeo: sounds like you want a new disk
[14:17] <Maria94> can you tell me which is better to install debian lenny or debian 6.0?
[14:17] <tomeo> okay
[14:17] <llutz_> Maria94: why lenny? use squeeze/stable
[14:17] <Maria94> i have lenovo s10e
[14:17] <LjL> !ot | Maria94
[14:17] <sskalnik> Is there a ping equivalent for Ethernet?
[14:18] <Maria94> squeeze?
[14:18] <Maria94> is it better?
[14:18] <MonkeyDust> sskalnik  ping is a command, ethernet is a protocol
[14:18] <llutz_> Maria94: you want to read debian.org and ask #debian, its offtopic here
[14:18] <stfun> i really need antivirus in ubuntu?
[14:18] <sskalnik> MonkeyDust:  I know on both counts. Is there a command to "ping" an Ethernet address?
[14:19] <LjL> stfun: not really
[14:19] <jutnux> stfun: Not really.
[14:19] <Maria94> ok thanks
[14:20] <LjL> sskalnik: arping i guess
[14:20] <sskalnik> LjL:  Looks like that is exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
[14:22] <MonkeyDust> the mac address, that is
[14:25] <Stereocaulon> draioch, if you have made a separate /home *partition* then you can just keep that one, if you did not bother to create /home as a different partition, the only way to keep your files is to make a backup of your /home before reinstalling
[14:25] <Stereocaulon> !backup | draioch
[14:25] <sskalnik> Hrm, looks like the version I want will conflict with network manager.\
[14:26] <LjL> sskalnik: what doesn't conflict with network manager :(
[14:26] <sskalnik> "arping"
[14:26] <LjL> sskalnik: i know, i was being sarcastic
[14:26] <sskalnik> There are apparently two versions
[14:26] <sskalnik> Ahhh, sarcasm translates over IP with dubious fidelity, I fear.
[14:27] <i_is_broke> where is it that i set the nomodeset in grub?
[14:27] <strata> is it a bad idea to put Terminal in my favorites?
[14:27] <LjL> sskalnik: why do you need the version that conflicts?
[14:27] <CyberBandit> hello
[14:27] <aguitel> how i know if video card i am using is pci ,pcie or agp ?
[14:27] <CyberBandit> can anyone tell me how to connect to an IRC channel
[14:27] <OerHeks> strata no, it is oke, but i get used to " ctrl + alt + T "
[14:27] <i_is_broke> aguitel, look in you bios.
[14:27] <CyberBandit> the channel is #novairc and the host is esper.net
[14:28] <llutz_> i_is_broke: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=   in /etc/default/grub
[14:28] <CyberBandit> but i cant get on it :L
[14:28] <strata> OerHeks: OMG THANKS!
[14:28] <aguitel> i_is_broke, in the system how?
[14:28] <i_is_broke> CyberBandit, are you registered with freenode.
[14:28] <LjL> CyberBandit: /server esper.net (or /server irc.esper.net i suspect), and then /join #novairc
[14:28] <strata> OerHeks: i was almost ready to either A. shoot myself or B. install PCLinuxOS when i realized i was spending more than 5 seconds trying to open a terminal in 11.10
[14:28] <mosx1> hi my user account seems to not have write permissions to /etc/apache2/sites-available what gives? I'm running server 11.10 and am the only user on the machine.
[14:29] <CyberBandit> ahh ok, thanks :)
[14:29] <CyberBandit> ill try. i will be back soon
[14:30] <LjL> mosx1: even if you're running server and you only have one user, you still need root (use "sudo") to write to /etc
[14:30] <CyberBandit> thanks ljl it worked :)
[14:30] <LjL> mosx1: (or really, anywhere that is not /home or /tmp or other select places)
[14:31] <mosx1> LjL: I am trying to use Filezilla to do it so i presume i cannot use sudo
[14:31] <m4v> aguitel: try "sudo lshw" somewhere in the result look for the video card information, usually below "*-display". In capabilities should say if is "agp" or "pciexpress"
[14:31] <LjL> mosx1: then you need to start filezilla with gksudo
[14:31] <mosx1> so I did log on and ran sudo passwd to try to enable the root account
[14:32] <LjL> mosx1: that's not a good idea.
[14:32] <aguitel> m4v, i will do ,thanks
[14:32] <mosx1> which seemed to work except that the root account cannot connect at all to the ftp server
[14:32] <llutz_> mosx1: filezilla? ftp? you don't want to use ftp as root
[14:33] <mosx1> ok, then what should i be doing to create new sites in /etc/apache2/sites-available using ftp?
[14:33] <Bruce_Wayne> Is there any way to use GNOME 2.0 on Ubuntu 11.04 or later distro which comes with Unity by default? (I'm not an unity fan.. no offense)
[14:33] <mosx1> or should i not even be using ftp to do that?
[14:33] <robinduckett> Bruce_Wayne: no, just use Gnome 3
[14:33] <llutz_> mosx1: you don't, use ssh for this
[14:33] <robinduckett> sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[14:33] <LjL> mosx1: using FTP to modify stuff in /etc does seem quite scary.
[14:34] <nvictor> hey
[14:34] <nvictor> has anyone else experienced trouble installing xapian on ubuntu 10.04?
[14:34] <DJones> !notunity | Bruce_Wayne
[14:35] <Bruce_Wayne> robinduckett: I don't like GNOME 3.0 much either.. :(  I like standard gnome which came till Ubuntu 10.10.. which's support is expiring on the release of 12.04 ... & I'm very much confused on the road ahead.
[14:35] <mosx1> hmmm. maybe somewhat unorthodox i guess. b/c i am a windows guy so am wanting to download the config files on my server, edit them in notepad++ and then upload them again.
[14:35] <mosx1> bad idea?
[14:35] <llutz_> mosx1: really bad idea, learn to use ssh
[14:35] <mosx1> i know how to use ssh, just not vi
[14:35] <LjL> mosx1: if you have to, then copy the files to your user's home first, use scp to transfer them and then put them back
[14:36] <llutz_> mosx1: use whatever editor you like, there isn't only vi
[14:36] <Humbedooh> you could use nano instead :>
[14:36] <sskalnik> mosx1:  Nano?
[14:36]  * Humbedooh awaits to be pelted with tomatoes
[14:36] <LjL> mosx1: and yeah, there are many editors, including easy-to-use ones.
[14:36] <LjL> nothing wrong with nano.
[14:37] <llutz_> ed, pico, vim, emacs, joe, ... 2 million other alternatives
[14:37] <Pure> hay
[14:37] <mosx1> ok. how do i go about reversing the sudo passwd that iu did?
[14:37] <nvictor> microsoft notepad :>
[14:38] <rasusto> mosx1 explain more
[14:38] <LjL> mosx1: sudo passwd -dl root
[14:38] <mosx1> sure - your point is that text editing is easy and i should be able to use whichever one i like right?
[14:38] <mosx1> i choose - notepad++
[14:38] <nvictor> anyone can help installing xapian?
[14:38] <Stereocaulon> mosx1, short answer: yes. Long answer, you should choose an editor suitable for the job at hand
[14:39] <LukeNukem> quick question
[14:39] <LukeNukem> if i want to do web development and tests on ubuntu, should i get normal ubuntu
[14:39] <somsip> mosx1: if you really want to do it your way, you can. Alternative, less complicated solutions are being offered
[14:39] <LukeNukem> or ubuntu server
[14:39] <LjL> LukeNukem: i'd say normal ubuntu
[14:39] <LukeNukem> note i want to do stuff like install a mail server and stuff
[14:40] <LjL> LukeNukem: well, either will work really
[14:40] <Stereocaulon> mosx1, if you like Notepad++ you might like programming editors like Bluefish or even a full blown IDE.
[14:40] <rasusto> you can do either, ubuntu server is going to be faster because it doesn't have all the graphical overhead
[14:40] <LjL> LukeNukem: but if you also want to develop and test with browsers, you will want a GUI i suppose
[14:40] <LukeNukem> of course
[14:40] <LukeNukem> ubuntu has a gui -_-
[14:40] <LjL> LukeNukem: Server does not by default
[14:40] <sskalnik> LukeNukem:  Not on server by default
[14:40] <LjL> LukeNukem: but you can still install it, so, it's your choice really. either will work.
[14:40] <LukeNukem> ohh...
[14:40] <LukeNukem> whats server intended for then?
[14:40] <LjL> LukeNukem: uh... servers?
[14:41] <sskalnik> LukeNukem:  Serving?
[14:41] <LjL> LukeNukem: servers typically don't have a GUI
[14:41] <sskalnik> XD
[14:41] <LukeNukem> o.o
[14:41] <Stereocaulon> mosx1, if you can afford to spend some time learning an editor and get lightning quick with it in the long run, choose vim or Emacs
[14:41] <mosx1> Stereocaulon: I'm not trying to be obtuse - just that I have server installed and don't wish to use a gui on the server
[14:41] <rasusto> once the webpage is ready to hit the web, use the server distro
[14:41] <LukeNukem> you mean its what those web hosting services use right
[14:41] <Humbedooh> they can have web based Interfaces tho' :)
[14:41] <LjL> LukeNukem: not just web hosting services. my home server doesn't have a GUI.
[14:41] <Stereocaulon> mosx1, both editors I mentioned run perfectly outside a GUI
[14:41] <mosx1> I think I've done an ok job of creating a secure setup.
[14:41] <LukeNukem> nice, iwas just using web hosting services as an example
[14:42] <LukeNukem> so im thinking LAMP would be good?
[14:42] <Humbedooh> lamp would be okay
[14:42] <mosx1> I'm using SSH for remote with RSA keys and SFTP for uploads.
[14:42] <Humbedooh> if you like lamp :)
[14:42] <llutz_> mosx1: secure setup with enabled ftp/ssh for root? not really
[14:42] <somsip> mosx1: so you want to sftp in, download a file, edit the file, and upload it again. Rather than edit it on the server?
[14:42]  * Humbedooh prefers... lasl o.O
[14:43] <mosx1> yes, exactly
[14:43] <somsip> mosx1: then you have a solution
[14:43] <LukeNukem> what is lasl?
[14:43] <LukeNukem> linux apache sql and whats the last l for
[14:43] <Humbedooh> linux, apache, sqlite3 and lua :p
[14:43] <mosx1> llutz....well i have just disabled root again, lol
[14:43] <LukeNukem> i prefer mysql
[14:43] <LukeNukem> with phpmyadmin
[14:44] <Ivoz> is it possible to do an online defrag of ext4 these days? If so, how do you go about doing so?
[14:44] <llutz_> Ivoz: no
[14:44] <LjL> Ivoz: i don't think it's even possible to do an offline one anymore, with Ubuntu
[14:44] <Mcl0vin> good morning folks
[14:44] <mosx1> you see it's not just editing, it's setting file permissions, creating files etc
[14:45] <Mcl0vin> quick question on apache2, not sure if its the issue or is it just me
[14:45] <Humbedooh> it's just you :)
[14:45] <llutz_> and before all the guys start to cry "ext-fs won't fragment": you're wrong, it does!
[14:45] <Mcl0vin> running ubuntu 10.4 LS and i had everything working fine
[14:45] <LukeNukem> so you all are major nerds?
[14:45] <LukeNukem> :D
[14:45] <MonkeyDust> LukeNukem  minor
[14:45] <Stereocaulon> definitely major
[14:45] <Humbedooh> llutz, it does, sure, but not as horrible as other systems :>
[14:45] <Mcl0vin> dyndns screwed me and took my host
[14:46] <LukeNukem> me too, but im not very good at linux so yeah
[14:46]  * LjL fragments llutz_
[14:46] <LukeNukem> you know them linux got commands n shit
[14:46] <LjL> LukeNukem, family friendly language please
[14:46] <LukeNukem> my computer teacher is so dumb, she said linux is fragile and if it is turned off directly from power input it will crash o.o
[14:46] <LukeNukem> true^?
[14:46] <Mcl0vin> so i had to update everything and all works except my website
[14:46] <LjL> LukeNukem: uh, just like Windows will (or rather, can potentially)
[14:46] <Humbedooh> no, it will shut down :>
[14:46] <Mcl0vin> i can ssh to the new host provided by dnydns
[14:47] <sskalnik> How do I flush the arp cache?
[14:47] <llutz_> Humbedooh: sure but still odd that there's no way except copying the whole fs to defrag
[14:47] <GegoXAREN> depends on your definition of "nerd", I myself like the name "Geek" better... old story.. the nerd vs geek flamewars, now we are on the same side.
[14:47] <LukeNukem> no i meant like from the UPS
[14:47] <LjL> we're veering a tad offtopic
[14:47] <LukeNukem> just turning off the ups directly
[14:47] <LukeNukem> yeah btw i meant geek :)
[14:47] <jutnux> !offtopic
[14:47] <Mcl0vin> what could be my problem
[14:47] <Stereocaulon> LukeNukem, to some extent. Especially if that system still uses a non-journalling system
[14:47] <LukeNukem> its pretty old computers at my school o.o
[14:47] <LjL> LukeNukem: if you cut power to a computer, in any way, you will risk data loss and, with certain filesystems (such as ext4 and NTFS), data corruption.
[14:47] <Humbedooh> Mcl0vin, that would probably be a question for #apache or similar channels
[14:48] <Ivoz> So is it possible to do an offline defrag on ubuntu? I've nearly filled my partition up quite a few times, so I wanted to make sure it was still functioning well
[14:48] <Stereocaulon> LukeNukem, try a fdisk -l if you have the rights to do so, that will show you what FS types are being used
[14:48] <Mcl0vin> Humbedooh: so you were right , its just me lmao
[14:48] <subdesign> hi
[14:48] <LukeNukem> i think they are on 10 or something, i dont know why they dont upgrade.
[14:48] <LukeNukem> but windows based schools are using 98 or something
[14:48] <subdesign> any idea how to disable Krusader to save temp files ?
[14:49] <Stereocaulon> LukeNukem, probably because 10.04 is a LTS edition
[14:49] <LukeNukem> Stereocaulon, i notice that it has a lot of educational stuff in it, whatever is in the text its in the OS as well
[14:49] <Nach0z> I made a graph of nerds vs geeks, GegoXAREN. it's a Venn diagram.
[14:49] <LukeNukem> the programs for it i mean, like GIMP
[14:49] <LukeNukem> and PhET
[14:49] <Nach0z> Nerds are on once side, geeks are on the other, and the people who care about the difference are in the middle
[14:49] <Nach0z> :D
[14:49] <Ivoz> I've run windows 7 on systems with less ram than its official requirements. Runs absolutely fine without aero
[14:50] <LjL> Ivoz: there used to be a tool called "defrag", but it's been removed from Ubuntu (and before that, it was made to refuse to work on ext4) because it was unreliable on it, apparently.
[14:50] <LukeNukem> Ivoz, yeah me too
[14:50] <LjL> Ivoz: so short answer, no, you would have to reformat
[14:50] <LukeNukem> ran it on a pentium
[14:50] <LukeNukem> with 512 mb ram
[14:50] <tellone> !ncurses|me
[14:50] <LjL> please, the "nerd" vs "geek" topic etc, let's move it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:50] <Ivoz> that's sad. thanks LjL, llutz
[14:50] <LukeNukem> Nerd = science, maths, physics
[14:50] <LjL> !ot
[14:50] <LukeNukem> Geek = blog, code, troll
[14:50] <LukeNukem> there
[14:50] <LjL> last warning
[14:50] <LukeNukem> end of topic
[14:51] <Stereocaulon> LukeNukem, if you need a higher version of a few programs, you could use ppa´s, but using those allways carries a minor risk that you will destabilize your system
[14:51] <LukeNukem> ppa's?
[14:51] <Stereocaulon> !ppa | LukeNukem
[14:51] <tellone> does anyone no what happened to the ncurces-package?
[14:52] <Stereocaulon> tellone, a bit more info please, what distro are you using?
[14:52] <LjL> Ivoz: uuuh i was wrong. there are news.
[14:52] <LjL> Ivoz: try doing "apropos e4defrag"
[14:52] <Ivoz> LukeNukem: it's basically a managed way of installing a third party software
[14:52] <tellone> oh ubuntu 11.10
[14:52] <LukeNukem> you mean like nLite for windows
[14:52] <LukeNukem> you can edit hte installation of windows to install custom programs
[14:52] <Pooky5> hi guys, I have problem. I just by new ATI grahpic card, bat ubuntu take only VESA driver, is it normal?
[14:53] <LjL> Pooky5: run Jockey and see if there is a proprietary driver for it
[14:53] <mosx1> ok, s I'm here -> /etc/apache2/sites-available and I issue this command:  sudo cp mysite.com mynewsite.com
[14:53] <Ivoz> LjL: that command just returned. no output
[14:53] <LukeNukem> So would ubuntu support Nvidia 9500GT?
[14:53] <LjL> Ivoz: maybe it's something new in Precise, i'm running it.
[14:53] <Pooky5> LjL: there is two, bat I can't install the second one,
[14:53] <LukeNukem> and my DLINK Wireless adapter?
[14:53] <mosx1> what is wrong here? as I don't get the newsite.com file created
[14:54] <LjL> Ivoz: hold on, i'll check on http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[14:54] <Ivoz> LukeNukem: yes, at least on the gpu
[14:54] <LukeNukem> daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang
[14:54] <LukeNukem> i cant use internet without the wireless adapter :((((
[14:54] <Ivoz> LukeNukem: i didn't say no to the wireless adapter
[14:54] <LukeNukem> oh okay
[14:54] <mosx1> the command just returned to the prompt btw , no error
[14:54] <LukeNukem> i think the driver that came with it is only for windows
[14:54] <Stereocaulon> tellone, I have several programs running on ncurses, maybe the library you need has been renamed to libncurses or something like that? If you install a program through synaptic that needs it, the ncurses libs will be included automatically.
[14:55] <LjL> Ivoz: yeah it's something new in Precise, Oneiric doesn't have it. at least you know when Precise is out, you can do it.
[14:55] <Ivoz> LukeNukem: linux has *alot* of drivers
[14:55] <LjL> Ivoz: just remember "e4defrag"
[14:55] <LukeNukem> yeah i will need to look for unoff ones
[14:55] <llutz_> LjL: it comes with e2fsprgs, starting with precise
[14:55] <LjL> llutz_: yeah, i checked
[14:55] <LukeNukem> i used osx86 ones
[14:55] <Ivoz> LjL: righteo. Thanks
[14:55] <LukeNukem> once*
[14:55] <LukeNukem> installing = nightmare
[14:55] <llutz_> launchpad #321528
[14:56] <LukeNukem> LjL, you know the movie the social network, if you have seen it, do you have any idea what text editor he uses in it....its so coool
[14:56] <mosx1> anyone know what I did wrong? I would have expected a new file to have been created in the current directory.
[14:56] <Ivoz> LukeNukem: linux worked with a dick smith random bluetooth adapter I had, which only had advertised win/mac drivers, just fine
[14:56] <LjL> LukeNukem: nope no clue
[14:56] <LukeNukem> nice
[14:56] <LukeNukem> brb
[14:57] <Stereocaulon> LukeNukem, considering the things you are discussing, you would find #ubuntu-offtopic more suitable, this channel is strictly for Ubuntu installation related issues
[14:57] <LjL> mosx1: i don't see anything wrong, it should work if you're in that directory
[14:57] <LukeNukem> okie dokie
[14:57] <Pooky5> btw. this is debug log from jockey - http://pastebin.com/mV23KCVi
[14:58] <sskalnik> Any idea why I wouldn't be able to ping a device even though I have used "arp -s" to give it an entry on my box?
[14:58] <Nikki_> Hi!
[14:58] <sskalnik> I can't "arping" it either, though it is plugged into the same L2 switch as my box.
[14:58] <LjL> Pooky5: how noisy. well i don't know why you can't install one, but if you install the other, remember you need to reboot
[14:59] <Pooky5> Ljl: I install the other and reboot, bat it still says it use VESA
[15:00] <LjL> sskalnik: uhm i see now why you wanted the other arping, this one requires an IP address...
[15:02] <sskalnik> LjL:  Exactly
[15:03] <BERKELEY> "I won't lie to you, I harbored some very deep misogynistic thoughts as a result and though I got over them I still have a special kind of hatred for pro-circ women."
[15:03] <sskalnik> LjL:  I switched it out, but I'm unable to ping or arping the device... I think it might be a wonky device.

[15:06] <cordoval> can i deinstall it how?
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: thats where you configure the effects in Oneiric
[15:07] <xsl> and i have both packages installed
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: if you use Unity and not Unity2D then compiz is performing the thumbnail drawing and is configured in ccsm

[15:10] <silameth> I have a question about updating 10.10
[15:10] <cordoval> thanks ActionParsnip
[15:10] <cordoval> so run this everytime?
[15:10] <cordoval> or is a one time setting?
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: does it fix it?
[15:11] <cordoval> yes, I have the problem the mouse goes rcazy randomly
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: then yes, if it fixes it
[15:11] <cordoval> now the orange positioning circles are gone but still goes crazy
[15:11] <cordoval> ok
[15:11] <cordoval> i hope that was it
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: could try the newer version in PPA
[15:11] <cordoval> thanks man, so how is unity2d different from unity?
[15:11] <cordoval> i have a 1.5 GB video card that gets unused
[15:12] <cordoval> but when i run it on my asus it burns
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/how-to-install-unity-5-0-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: unity2D uses no compositong and will run on any video card. Unity uses 3D accelleration
[15:13] <cordoval> so which is better for me?
[15:13] <cordoval> which is cooler
[15:14] <cordoval> ActionParsnip:
[15:14] <cordoval> Unity 5.0 hit Ubuntu 12.04 last night,
[15:14] <cordoval> oh so it is the latest
[15:15] <Gentoo64> what joys does unity 5.0 bring
[15:15] <silameth> I have an error when I try to run updates, it appears to be a key issue.
[15:15] <silameth> is there any way to remove and replace the keys?
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: are you using 12.04?
[15:16] <cordoval> no
[15:16] <Stereocaulon> Gentoo64, I hop the joy of being able to switch back to proper Gnome2?
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> Gentoo64: check the link
[15:16] <cordoval> but i want to if that is the latest
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> Stereocaulon: its dead upstream dude
[15:16] <Nikki_> I'm using 12.04 Alpha 2. :)
[15:16] <silameth> and my version is 10.10
[15:16] <Stereocaulon> ActionParsnip, I know, you can always dream...
[15:16] <LjL> !gpgerr | silameth
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: its at Installed: 5.0.0-0ubuntu1 on precise, that PPA gives the ability to use that version in Oneiric
[15:17] <compdoc> is always possible that unity 5.0 will be the best thing anyone has ever tried
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> Stereocaulon: move forward dude, its all good. You can always jump to XFCE which is made using GTK3 and will look and smell like Gnome2
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> compdoc: many things are possible :)
[15:17] <Stereocaulon> compdoc, highly unlikely.
[15:18] <Stereocaulon> ActionParsnip, I did move forward, I´ m now running LXDE and I like it.
[15:18] <compdoc> oh yee of little faith
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> Stereocaulon: me too, it uses GTK3 too. LXDE rocks hard
[15:20] <Stereocaulon> compdoc, if the present day Unity is a nightmare when it comes to getting things done I am looking from a distance, while keeping a more productive DE at hand.
[15:21] <Stereocaulon> compdoc, ActionParsnip , The unity between smartphone, TV (latest project) and Desktop is enticing, but it should not ignore the specifics of different UI´s and usage patterns.
[15:21] <opalepatrick> on 11.10 unity I want to chage the default app. I have system settings, default apps open, but there is only one browser available. I want to change from Firefox to Iron. Or whatever. What am I missing
[15:22] <MonkeyDust> opalepatrick  install the other browser first
[15:22] <opalepatrick> It is installed MonkeyDust
[15:22] <Stereocaulon> opalepatrick, probably it is not recognized internally for being a program of the browser category.
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> opalepatrick: if you check in /usr/share/applications   for the iron.desktop  file, make sure it matches the mimetype matches the one from the firefox file
[15:23] <Stereocaulon> opalepatrick, there´s probably some XML trick to add it to that category, but I wouldn´ t know how.
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> editting the desktop file is far easier ;)
[15:29] <linuxguy101> hey will ubuntu run kde apps?
[15:30] <silameth> ok I did that and tried to update
[15:30] <th^2> hello all. is it possible to use the same RAID partition in dual boot box?
[15:30] <cube> hi, I was looking at this question http://askubuntu.com/questions/37700/dump-dpkg-package-list-for-fresh-installation, and comment from Jeremy Bicha got me interested, could anybody shed more light on the difference he is writing about ?
[15:30] <LjL> linuxguy101: yes
[15:30] <th^2> with both OS's I mean
[15:30] <algo2_> dentify jh5lwo
[15:31] <LjL> !identify > algo2_
[15:31] <linuxguy101> LjL: can you also install kde as well as gnome?
[15:31] <LjL> linuxguy101: yes
[15:31] <LjL> !kde > linuxguy101
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> linuxguy101: yes
[15:31] <silameth> got new error says badsig 16126D3A3E5C1192
[15:32] <linuxguy101> ok thanks..
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> silameth: is that after running:  sudo apt-get update
[15:32] <silameth> Action: yes
[15:33] <opalepatrick> ActionParsnip, I checked and there were no mime types listed. I copied the firefox ones logged out and checked again, but I still dont have the choice?
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> silameth: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 16126D3A3E5C1192        will add it, if you use add-apt-repository instead of modifying sources.list you won't get this
 sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[15:35] <linuxguy101> loen: excellent, i am moving from mageia to ubuntu,..  i had a sound issue on mageia for an asus m4n78 pro..
[15:35] <linuxguy101> i think that ubuntu can run it fine
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> opalepatrick: Is it the same 'categories' too?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> wow that's a blast from the past.
[15:36] <dbugger> hey guys. Ive installed mediawiki through apt-get but I dont know where I can access it. Please, can someone tell me?
[15:37] <silameth> Action: still same error
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> dbugger: press ALT+F2 and search there
[15:38] <dbugger> ActionParsnip, nothing comes out in the dashboard :S
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> dbugger: try in terminal, use TAB to autocomplete the command
[15:39] <dbugger> ActionParsnip, but with mediawiki what id need isnt a URL? like when I installed phpmyadmin?
[15:39] <dbugger> theres no command for mediawiki
[15:40] <llutz_> dbugger: dpkg -L mediawiki
[15:40] <iceroot> dbugger: fqdn/mediawiki
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> dbugger: not used it dude, http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/mediawiki/
[15:40] <iceroot> dbugger: normally you have to edit /etc/mediawiki/apache2.conf
[15:40] <iceroot> dbugger: there is an apche alias which you must enable
[15:41] <MrDeso> Simple question, 10.04(LTS) vs 11.10(latest) for server
[15:41] <iceroot> MrDeso: 10.04
[15:41] <iceroot> MrDeso: if you need ubuntu use 10.04, if you need something like ubuntu, use debian 6.0
[15:42] <MrDeso> Is 11.10 for servers just for the really techsavy who are dying for every little feature the typical users use?
[15:42] <Mcl0vin> Humbedooh: apache2 folks think its ubuntu did something with httpd
[15:42] <iceroot> MrDeso: on a server normally you want stable and tested software and not new software which is not tested so long
[15:42] <iceroot> Mcl0vin: so ubuntu 10.04 or debian 6.0
[15:42] <dbugger> iceroot, I have to uncomment the Alias, and copy everything into the /etc/apache2/apache.conf?
[15:43] <iceroot> dbugger: just uncomment the alias
[15:43] <Mcl0vin> ubuntu 10.04
[15:43] <dbugger> and restart the server, i guess
[15:43] <iceroot> dbugger: normally there should be a symlink from the mediawiki/apache2.conf to the apache-dir
[15:43] <dbugger> yeah, that worked :) thanks :)
[15:43] <opalepatrick> Well  they weren't ActionParsnip, it is now, but no difference
[15:43] <opalepatrick> is it worth trying a reboot?
[15:44] <loen> linuxguy101: Ubuntu is cool OS.. :)
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> opalepatrick: can't hurt
[15:44] <opalepatrick> ok brb
[15:44] <linuxguy101> loen: i will give it a try.. i need something that has the full audio working
[15:51] <opalepatrick> Bizarre, that didnt work either
[15:53] <linuxguy101> is yum still the main installer in ubuntu?
[15:53] <bazhang> linuxguy101, you mean apt-get
[15:53] <silameth>  ok no more red triangle and no reported errors... appears to be fixed.... thank
[15:54] <linuxguy101> bazhang: i would assume apt-get is command line
[15:54] <sskalnik> yes
[15:54] <bazhang> linuxguy101, yum has never been part of ubuntu
[15:54] <sskalnik> yum is for rpms
[15:55] <meberhart> yum is for Fedora
[15:55] <rabbi1> How to remove mail notification at startup ?
[15:55] <linuxguy101> sskalnik: what is your gui installer on ubuntu?
[15:56] <sskalnik> linuxguy101:  Synaptic is the default GUI package manager, but I use aptitude and apt-get
[15:56] <linuxguy101> ah ok
[15:57] <Slart> synaptic isn't even installed on the 11.10 desktop version.. there is a "software center" though.. not sure if it's got another name
[15:57] <sskalnik> It's nice and pretty like Yum, so that may be what you were thinking of.
[15:57] <jc-2> hello, I uninstalled unity in ubuntu 11-10, but when i try to reinstall it the unity panel doesn't start and the launcher neither. What should I do?
[15:57] <sskalnik> Slart:  sure about that? I am on 11.10 desktop and synaptic is definitely here.
[15:58] <Slart> sskalnik: I reinstalled three days ago.. I had to install synaptic because I was annoyed with the software center
[15:58] <phil88> Hi all I have problems w/ my ext4 partition, e2fsck gives me very many multiply-claimed blocks. What can I do? I got somehow a read-only fs yesterday and after reboot grub did not find the boot master!? please help. what can I check?
[15:58] <Slart> !info synaptic
[15:58] <Slart> optional...
[15:58] <sskalnik> There's also Software Center - which seems to be Synaptic but even prettier, and with more "I want to install Angry Birds" and less "nah, I don't need <important package>"
[15:59] <d3eniz> anyone else that seem to having problems getting dualscreens working properly with nvidia drivers? =/
[15:59] <theadmin> Slart: Most packages are marked as optional (even preinstalled ones), except some critical stuff
[15:59] <sskalnik> Slart:  I guarantee you that synaptic is in the default install; perhaps you had a non-standard install.
[16:00] <theadmin> sskalnik: No, it's not. It doesn't come preinstalled with Oneiric.
[16:00] <Slart> hmm.. I'm starting to wonder if I'm remember wrong
[16:00] <sskalnik> theadmin:  Really? I may stand corrected, but I could swear it came default with my install of Oneiric.
[16:01] <ihashacks> sskalnik: https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=synaptic+oneiric&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
[16:01] <ihashacks> clearly removed from default Oneiric
[16:01] <ihashacks> :)
[16:01] <sskalnik> I do indeed stand corrected. Thanks
[16:01] <phil88> anybody having experience w/ revovering from a ext4 partition error
[16:02] <sipior> phil88: did fsck run to completion?
[16:02] <phil88> no, it is kind of hanging... it takes too long and the list of multiply-claimed blocks is veeery long!
[16:03] <sipior> phil88: what's "too long"?
[16:03] <applesouce> Hello, I have a problem, my WLan isn't working anymore, when I want to enable it, it just disables itself again without enabling
[16:03] <sskalnik> Aha, looks like Xubuntu kept Synaptic; you can guess which flavor I'm on...
[16:03] <tomeo> Is it possible mounting a samba share running LiveUbuntu?
[16:03] <phil88> I started running it since at least 2 days
[16:03] <opalepatrick> Give up for the moment. I can survive :-) THanks ActionParsnip et al
[16:04] <sipior> phil88: sure it's not just waiting for input? :-)
[16:04] <sskalnik> Where would I learn about making a local apt server? Not for caching, but for serving in-house packages. All I found in the Ubuntu docs were guides for cache servers and such.
[16:04] <phil88> sipior: yes, it isn't I'm sure
[16:04] <z3ro3x> I'm in Kubuntu 11.10.  I just shared my Music folder over my home network using Samba.  I did it by right clicking the Music folder in Dolphin,  clicking Properties and Share.  If I log off my Linux account, will the share continue to be there for others on the network after logging out?  It doesn't ask for a password for system wide settings.  That's why I ask.
[16:04] <phil88> how to check if the disk is ok? What could be the problem?
[16:05] <rabbi1> How to remove mail notification at startup ?
[16:06] <sipior> phil88: smartutils is one option, though it is far from perfect.
[16:06] <JustMozzy> hi guys. I am on my ubuntu server and trying to go into a directory but it always gives me permission denied. I chmod the folder a=r but still no luck :S
[16:06] <theadmin> JustMozzy: To cd into a folder it has to be readable AND executable, i.e. rx or rwx
[16:07] <sipior> phil88: i'd double-check your backups, to be on the safe side.
[16:07] <JustMozzy> theadmin, thanks :)
[16:07] <theadmin> JustMozzy: Just "r" allows you to view files in it but not ls/cd the folder itself
[16:07] <phil88> sipior: I did it with dd_rescue
[16:07] <JustMozzy> theadmin, good to know :) thanks for the help :)
[16:09] <jc-2> ok allready
[16:09] <jc-2> what next
[16:09] <theadmin> JustMozzy: np
[16:10] <elijah> hey guys, I am having a hard time figuring this out , I want to download a file with wget to my local computer from a remote server via ssh
[16:10] <elijah> Is this possible and what would a sample command be?
[16:11] <oj> Hi, guys I have this webcam that connects via usb, currently I can't use it because everytime i plug it in, my wireless (also usb) dies, and everything else connected to the usb disconnects. Is there a way to get the webcam to work?
[16:11] <psyrus> ive got two questions
[16:11] <llutz_> elijah: use scp not wget
[16:11] <elijah> llutz: ah, okay, thanks for the lead!
[16:12] <llutz_> elijah: scp user@host:/path/to/file /localpath/
[16:12] <psyrus> 1: i have an iris with a pink perimeter about 20 times on my taskbar, how do i remove it? 2: i forgot now what is the 3 psudo commands i need to use to run updates via console
[16:12] <phil88> sipior: is it Smartmontools, or?
[16:12] <sipior> phil88: yep.
[16:12] <germanxn>
[16:14] <phil88> sipior: do you know what are multiply-claimed blocks and how I can manually delete them. I found e.g. this link http://www.linux-archive.org/ext3-users/244292-fsck-takes-too-long-multiply-claimed-blocks.html
[16:15] <phil88> sipior: but ncheck gave me errors that it does not find the directories/files
[16:15] <sipior> phil88: Tso's mini-tutorial there seems pretty comprehensive.
[16:16] <phil88> sipior: yes, but it fails on the ncheck in my case
[16:16] <oj> Hi, guys I have this webcam that connects via usb, currently I can't use it because everytime i plug it in, my wireless (also usb) dies, and everything else connected to the usb disconnects. Is there a way to get the webcam to work?
[16:16] <grizzlybearjr> question: is there a big difference between installing ubuntu-desktop vs ubuntu-core???
[16:18] <sipior> phil88: guess you're in trouble. double-check that you're passing the right arguments to ncheck first, though.
[16:18] <Starminn> grizzlybearjr, Yes. ubuntu-desktop is a mta package. Here is all its details: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ubuntu-desktop&searchon=names&suite=oneiric&section=all
[16:18] <Starminn> meta package*
[16:18] <phil88> sipior: yes I did, I checked it at least 5 times
[16:19] <elijah> llutz: Do you know a way to specify going up a directory, or to root, in the path specified in SCP, it logs my user by default into my home directory when I need to transfer a file in a directory outside of it. I do have access to the directory.
[16:19] <psyrus> how do just reset my desktop, and i cant figure out how to do these updates under the console because moun is too glitchy to depend on
[16:19] <grizzlybearjr> Starminn: thanks, following link now.
[16:20] <silameth>  /quit
[16:20] <llutz_> elijah: scp user@host:/path/to/file /localpath/
[16:20] <Starminn> grizzlybearjr, I can't seem to find anything about ubuntu-core in the official package listing though
[16:20] <Starminn> grizzlybearjr, But I'd say that "desktop" is the extra applications, and core is just the OS. Just going by the names.
[16:21] <linuxguy101> hey, what is ubuntu running on there live cd?   is this gnome, or kde? or what? lol
[16:21] <OerHeks> linuxguy101, depends on what iso you download
[16:21] <grizzlybearjr> Starminn: I wanted to go for minimal install, wondering if core will be enough to get a desktop.
[16:21] <Nikki_> Hi!
[16:22] <linuxguy101> OerHeks: the one that is 32 bit latest version from the website
[16:22] <narcos> Hi there. I've got a question WRT squid 2.7 on Ubuntu.
[16:22] <elijah> llutz: Okay, that is what I was doing, it says no such file so maybe I am doing something else wrong. It did not prompt for password, although I was logged in via ssh in another window.
[16:22] <narcos> I copied the example from http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Portal/Splash - when trying to hit foo.com I get a 302 Moved Temporarily to my splash page. But the splash page gives the same redirection message (i.e. an infinite loop will occur)
[16:22] <rec> Hi
[16:22] <linuxguy101> OerHeks: this looks like gnome and kde were merged into one gui..
[16:22] <psyrus> desktop reset and updates through cosole ..... ?
[16:22] <llutz_> elijah: youdon't need to be logged in in a sepearte session
[16:22] <rec> I am haveing some problems with installing SWTOR, can any1 help me with that?
[16:22] <psyrus> *n
[16:23] <theadmin> linuxguy101: Ubuntu uses the Unity desktop by default.
[16:23] <Starminn> grizzlybearjr, This seems like the answer you're looking for: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core
[16:23] <theadmin> linuxguy101: Which is developed mostly by the Ubuntu team themselves
[16:23] <linuxguy101> theadmin: interesting desktop..
[16:24] <grizzlybearjr> Starminn: nice that is exactly it, thanks will do some reading now!
[16:24] <linuxguy101> i will say that it is fast though
[16:24] <rec> can any1 help me with installing SWTOR??
[16:24] <rec> check this: http://pastebin.com/5yVjNbVn
[16:25] <linuxguy101> does ubuntu run the latest firefox?
[16:25] <elijah> llutz: Would it bypass password prompt if I was logged into another session? It is not asking for password.
[16:25] <llutz_> elijah: no
[16:25] <narcos> Here's the output from attempting to use squid_session to get a splash page, but resulting in an infinite redirect loop - any ideas? - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11615552#post11615552
[16:25] <phil88> sipior: also the smart short test "completed without error"s
[16:26] <sipior> rec: frankly, your best bet is to stick with windows for serious gaming. wine might support this game, but odds are you'll be vastly happier running it under windows.
[16:26] <phil88> sipior: are there other tools to check the state/repair the partition?
[16:27] <phil88> sipior: what can one do w/ testdisk? I didn't understand if it is able to repair the fs or not
[16:27] <theadmin> linuxguy101: After you update, it will
[16:27] <elijah> llutz: K, I think that is my issue then and the reason it says no such file or directory.
[16:27] <psyrus> i just need help now with console commands to check and install updates
[16:27] <llutz_> elijah: whats your exact scp command?
[16:27] <theodoro161> what is the best way to enter into open source programming, specifically ubuntu and gnu?
[16:28] <sipior> phil88: fsck/debugfs are your best bet. testdisk doesn't really fix filesystems per se. is there reason to believe the problem is a faulty partition table?
[16:30] <elijah> scp<EMAIL_ADDRESS>~/Desktop
[16:30] <llutz_> elijah: missing : between host and path
[16:30] <andyn> åä
[16:30] <andyn> oops
[16:30] <somsip> elijah: scp name@ip:/var/lib... missing colon?
[16:31] <elijah> llutz & somsip - ahah, thanks guys, that works perfectly!
[16:32] <llutz_> elijah: it always works perfect, if you do it right :)
[16:32] <linuxguy101> when i install ubuntu will i have an option to format / and /home?
[16:32] <phil88> sipior: I only know that i have no "bad blocks", that was reported by fsck, I have a corrupt extent header and a lot of multiply-claimed blocks. Unfortunatelly I am no expert and do not know how to fix those problems, do you need a fsck log? Does it help?
[16:33] <sipior> phil88: at this point, best to let fsck do its thing, or restore from backups.
[16:34] <sipior> phil88: interrupting fsck has been known to cause tears in the space-time continuum.
[16:35] <Starminn> What's the deal with "suggested packages" in Oeniric when installing from the command line? Has that always been there in other versions and I've just never noticed it, or is that something new in 11.10?
[16:35] <tigerbegood> hi
[16:35] <Starminn> sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[16:35] <phil88> siphior: thanks, I will let it continue, but it is very annoying that even w/ the -C 0 option there is no progress update for several hours...

[17:18] <Asad1> Question: I recently installed Kubuntu desktop to my ubuntu, It somehow became my default and would take over my login process.

[17:19] <Asad1> So any help?

[17:41] <mosx1> what's wildcard for cp? i want to copy all files and folders from /foo/bar/ to /newfoo/
[17:41] <LjL> rcmaehl: i'm not a GNOME user, i don't know, but it should definitely still be in the settings...
[17:42] <LjL> mosx1: * is the wildcard everywhere. but you also need -a or at least -r if you want to copy recursively
[17:42] <mosx1> so cp -r /foo/bar/* /newfoo/   ???? that look ok? I want to end up without bar
[17:43] <LjL> mosx1: it looks ok, but... without bar? that won't delete the old files, it'll just copy them.
[17:43] <mosx1> sweet thx
[17:43] <LjL> mosx1: if you want to *move* everything to a new directory, then use "mv"
[17:43] <mosx1> that's what i want
[17:43] <LjL> mosx1: mv /foo/bar /newfoo

[18:09] <jasef> ActionParsnip, I've managed to make it connect to WMP as a client to browse the library, but I'd rather if I could use Play To from my Windows PC because it seems much easier setting up playlists on WMP, any idea how I'd do that?
[18:09] <diuneigh> ashraf  my swap says 0 bytes...
[18:10] <diuneigh> in Gparted it was unknown.
[18:10] <jasef> princej88, #ubuntu-server
[18:10] <Pici> princej88: #ubuntu-server oddly enough.
[18:10] <belkinsa> Nope, didn't work in U 2D.
[18:10] <princej88> haha i should've looked. thanks
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> diuneigh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq   shows how, search for: 512MiB.swap    and that is how
[18:10] <Cybercoke> join #ubuntu-server
[18:10] <Ashraf> diuneigh how much ur ram?
[18:10] <diuneigh> 4 gb
[18:10] <diuneigh> no 2 gb.
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> jasef: when not use samba, to share a folder then play the files that way?
[18:11] <diuneigh> ashraf  I made the swap 4096
[18:11] <ok_wait> anybody at all?
[18:11] <jasef> ActionParsnip, because I haven't found a player on Linux that makes it easy to browse my library, all except VLC that I've used display by track artist instead of album artist, and VLC's playlist editor feels kind of awkward and clunky to me
[18:11] <Ashraf> ok so swap won't be use untill ur ram is full
[18:12] <ZereF> Hi guys, i've just setup an internet connection using the dhcp3 package. i'm an using wlan0 to connect to the internet and etho and my other interface. after setting up i could not get wlan0 up, i checked route -n and the gateway <IP_ADDRESS> is not there anymore, any help?
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> Ashraf: it will a little, depends on vm.swappiness
[18:12] <diuneigh> ashraf but ubuntu doesn't recognize it... when I type free in terminal it says 0
[18:13] <belkinsa> ActionParsnip: It didn't work under Unity 2D.  What did you say about the Unity 3D and JDK?
[18:13] <ok_wait> can't view/control another machine's screen anymore huh?
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> belkinsa: try oracle java, you may want to try a minecraft channel
[18:13] <belkinsa> ActionParsnip: The non-Open one?
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> ok_wait: why do you connect to the remote system?
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> belkinsa: yes, may give different results
[18:14] <idarkside> hi im having an issue with the mysql gem
[18:14] <Cybercoke> CACTI won't show status UP on hosts, but it gets information from snmp well. Can anyone help me ?
[18:15] <belkinsa> ActionParsnip: I have it.  Followed what this guy said: http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2011/11/13/how-to-install-sun-java-se-1-7/
[18:15] <ok_wait> ActionParsnip, to control the screen like rdp but i connect to the server with display :1 and i need :0 cause that's what's being displayed. it starts another gnome-session for me
[18:15] <Ashraf> diuneigh whether any swap partition has created?
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> ok_wait: but to achieve what? why are you connecting?
[18:15] <Ashraf> diuneigh r u using swap created by ur previous OS ?
[18:15] <imbezol> Cybercoke: perhaps it's using icmp ping to determine UP status
[18:15] <diuneigh> ashraf.. I got it.... didn't know I had to turn it on in gparted.. thanks for your help..
[18:15] <idarkside> no such file to load -- mysql
[18:15] <imbezol> Cybercoke: can you ping the devices from your server?
[18:16] <Cybercoke> imbezol: Yes
[18:16] <ok_wait> ActionParsnip, because it's going to be connected to my tv and doesn't have a keyboard or mouse
[18:16] <Cybercoke> It show me all in formations in EDIT screen , include ping time response
[18:16] <Ashraf> diuneigh ur welcome
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> ok_wait: so you want to remote control a media pc?
[18:17] <ok_wait> ActionParsnip, the media pc's screen yes
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> ok_wait: not tried vlc with remote access, or xbmc with remote access?
[18:18] <ok_wait> ActionParsnip, i have not. thank you, i'll look into those
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> ok_wait: both have android apps so can can control with your phone ;)
[18:19] <imbezol> Cybercoke: what is the status of the devices?
[18:19] <idarkside> hi im having an issue with the mysql gem
[18:19] <imbezol> Cybercoke: down?
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> ok_wait: there may be apps on iphone if you were foolish enough to get one
[18:19] <imbezol> Cybercoke: or disabled?
[18:19] <ok_wait> nice :)
[18:19] <ok_wait> yea see no
[18:20] <Cybercoke> imbezol: Status UNKNOW
[18:20] <Cybercoke> imbezol: The poller is running without errors, and there are no error on cacti.log
[18:21] <imbezol> Cybercoke: not sure. i doubt it's related to the fact that you're running ubuntu server though.
[18:22] <imbezol> Cybercoke: i have an ubuntu server cacti install myself and everything is running fine
[18:22] <imbezol> Cybercoke: you may want to try the various support avenues for cacti instead
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> ok_wait: vnc is rarely needed, there are often much sleeker solutions, which is why I ask whenever someone mentions vnc

[18:24] <ActionParsnip> Ublunttu: I'm a NOC engineer dude ;)
[18:25] <akhil> i installed ubuntu 11.04 and now i am not able to adjust my brightness
[18:25] <akhil> can anybody help?
[18:25] <xzased_> Hi all. Im trying to find a way to detect when an external monitor is connected to my laptop. So far, the docs I have read online point to checking the folder drm under /sys/class, Im running oneiric and this folder does not  exist :(
[18:25] <ok_wait> ActionParsnip, i just imagined it would be cool to control what's on the tv from my laptop as though it were a secondary monitor
[18:25] <Ublunttu> ActionParsnip: so you just sit here at work pretty much lol.
[18:25] <akhil> my dell is dell 4010 i.e 14R
[18:26] <akhil> help please?
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> Ublunttu: I ssh home and use irssi, or i'm on my 4 days off and chillin using pidgin
[18:26] <Ublunttu> ahh I see thats cool. well keep up the good work I guess

[18:27] <ghaith> Hello, i was wondering if anyone has an idea about flashing a Bios on linux using a Windows tool, that is my laptop (HP) bios update comes as a windows only insydeflash tool. I extracted the files inside and managed to get a .fd file which i believe is the update however, the utility provided is windows only (not even dos, so freedos didn't work)
[18:28] <fobia92069> Morning fellows i am new to Ubuntu and have a question, Can i just keep the 64 bit edition of Ubuntu or just go with the 32 bit i have 7 gig on my comp?
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> ghaith: sounds like you'll need to install windows (you may be able to use bartpe to make a live windows cd boot)
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> fobia92069: yes I'd stay with 64bit
[18:29] <humbeto> oi
[18:29] <humbeto> ffdfd
[18:29] <humbeto> oi
[18:30] <fobia92069> ok cause i was trying to install the veetle plug in but i have not been able and i think is because it might be 32 bit only?
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> fobia92069: http://veetle-plugin-on-64bit-linux.tumblr.com/
[18:31] <fobia92069> ok thanks let me try that
[18:31] <ghaith> thx ActionParsnip, the bartpe  thought actually crossed my mind, but that's a really ugly solution, to have to revert to legacy os for a simple update. I was also thinking of using another flash tool to flash the bios, but i wouldn't want to risk my laptop
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> ghaith: how do you get 'legacy OS'?
[18:31] <ghaith> legacy os = windows
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> ghaith: thats not what legacy means
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> ghaith: A legacy platform, also called a legacy operating system, is an operating system (OS) no longer in widespread use, or that has been supplanted by an updated version of earlier technology   source: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci1190133,00.html

[18:33] <ActionParsnip> ghaith: don't confuse someting you dislike or someting you think is lower quality with 'legacy'
[18:33] <ghaith> ActionParsnip, oh, i meant old and useless, at least i like to consider it that way :)
[18:33] <ghaith> ActionParsnip, sorry about that
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> ghaith: thats not whatit means either
[18:33] <AlbTuX> hello

[18:34] <geekbri> is there a sensible way to use ruby 1.9 as the default "ruby" on ubuntu 10.04 so i can just type ruby instead or ruby1.9 ?
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> ghaith: your manufacturer is only supporting WIndows so you must bend to that
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> ghaith: I have successfully updated countless dell systems using ubuntu as there is a handy utility :)
[18:36] <ghaith> ActionParsnip, yep i guess so. I wish i did buy a dell in that case
[18:37] <geri> ActionParsnip, can u open it?
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> geri: the link is fine :)
[18:37] <akhil> ActionParsnip:thanks for suggesting the link but its not helping .What else should i do?
[18:37] <Caifas> ActionParsnip: yes commando is "sudo openvpn --config file.conf -daemon"
[18:38] <fobia92069> thank you very much ActionParsn it worked!
[18:38] <akhil> can anybody else help i am having problem with adjusting brightness in ubuntu 11.04?
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Caifas: the only way I know is to make a scrpt with a looong sleep in it and run the script backgrounded useing /etc/rc.local    it will then be ran as root and not hold up the boot
[18:39] <akhil> i have dell 4010
[18:39] <akhil> ActionParsnip: anyother solution
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> akhil: are there any bugs reported?

[18:42] <ActionParsnip> Berto: install localepurge
I just have to write these commands in the terminal?
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> geri: I don't know, that's why I haven't replied...
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> akhil: no need to type, just copy and paste
[18:43] <akhil> ok
i will do it and then come back to you

[18:44] <Berto> thanks TimR too, but i wanted more specific stuff than Language Support options could handle
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> Berto: its all I can think of without messing with sudoers and making the command not need a password for sudo
[18:46] <fade2blk> hey anyone here good with hardware

[18:50] <mariya> how to enable autolog-in in ubuntu 10.10 by passing the log-in manager
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> mariya: if you add:   su - <username> -c startx     to /etc/rc.local    above the exit 0  line you will be straight in    change your username obviouslt
[18:54] <jutnux> ActionParsnip: Not recommended.
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> but works
[18:54] <ZereF> hi guys just installed the dhcp3 package and configured it. i've now lost internet connection via wlan0
[18:54] <jutnux> ZereF: Then you have configured the dhcp3 package incorrectly and thus, your internet has gone down.
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> ZereF: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:55] <mariya> jutnux,  what is  recommendhened then?
[18:55] <jutnux> mariya: What are you trying to do? I wasn't in the channel when you said.
[18:55] <ZereF> ActionParsnip: nope
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> ZereF: does your interface have an IP address?
[18:55] <mariya> jutnux, I am trying to enable autolog in in ubuntu 10.10
[18:56] <ZereF> in followed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharingDHCP3
[18:56] <mariya> and by passing the log-in manager
[18:56] <ZereF> ActionParsnip, my wlan0 does not have one
[18:56] <israel> mariya: just type your pass always that's the best
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> ZereF: there is the issue then
[18:56] <ZereF> i checked with route -n and the gateway <IP_ADDRESS> is not there anymore
[18:57] <mariya> israel, thank you, but i personally do not like it.
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> ZereF: without an IP even with a route it wouldn't work
[18:58] <ZereF> i've gone through this setup twice, sigh
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> mariya: try it, you can always boot to root recovery mode or even live CD and undo it
[18:59] <mariya> probaply, I alredy have found a way, be right back

Shutting down with "sudo poweroff" works from time to time, but randomly. "sudo reboot" or any other reboot methods don't work at all.

[19:11] <meberhart> it was just a question, asking feedback from other users.

[19:12] <beata> evrything in power is off, but my display still goes to black after ~hour. I tried to set the brightness value higher, but the maximum it goes is 1 hour.

[19:36] <ozzloy> Flannel, thanks!  that's surprising that there's no netbeans package anymore.
