[14:16] <izinucs> SoftarPaul: anything in /var/www should have an owner of "www-data".. which allows the apache server to "server" it on the web..
[14:16] <izinucs> SoftarPaul: you might not need to change the permissions at all if the files are owned by the right thing
[14:17] <SoftarPaul> izinucs: But why does I get a lock on the files?
[14:18] <izinucs> SoftarPaul: when?
[14:18] <SoftarPaul> Now I've uploaded one more file and it's still a lock on it...
[14:18] <schnuffle> SoftarPaul: that depends totally on your script
[14:18] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[14:18] <izinucs> SoftarPaul: is this on a commercial server? or your own server?
[14:18] <schnuffle> SoftarPaul: do you close the file before the end of the script?
[14:19] <SoftarPaul> izinucs: My own right now
[14:19] <llutz> izinucs: "anything in /var/www should have an owner of "www-data"  means that the web-server has writeaccess to nearly all files. sounds not very clever
[14:19] <izinucs> SoftarPaul: as in .. in your house ?
[14:19] <SoftarPaul> schnuffel: No. I must that or?
[14:19] <SoftarPaul> izinucs: Yes
[14:19] <SoftarPaul> On this computer
[14:19] <BluesKaj> !lock
[14:19] <schnuffle> SoftarPaul: of course you should raise your php skills :)
[14:20] <SoftarPaul> schnuffel: fclose?
[14:20] <nabukadnezar43> hi is there a gui application to tweak firewall
[14:20] <nabukadnezar43> i want to make an exception for a bittorrent client
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> nabukadnezar43: ufw
[14:20] <vish> nabukadnezar43: firestarter or ufw
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> nabukadnezar43: or firestarter
[14:20] <vish> :)
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> !firewall
[14:20] <nabukadnezar43> ok thanks
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> nabukadnezar43: guarddog is the kde frontend
[14:21] <schnuffle> SoftarPaul: yes
[14:21] <rigved> saliak, you still there? i think i found a solution
[14:21] <izinucs> llutz: write access can be changed but without the owner as www-data then things tend no to run there.  If you have an alternative idea let me know.  I'm all ears/eyes
[14:21] <SoftarPaul> schnuffel: I still get a lock on the file...
[14:21] <nabukadnezar43> sudo ufw allow udp/port and sudo ufw allow tcp/portnumber
[14:21] <nabukadnezar43> is that all
[14:21] <nabukadnezar43> great
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> nabukadnezar43: what more do you need....
[14:22] <nabukadnezar43> i dont need anything more
[14:22] <schnuffle> izinucs: use fastcgi so that you can decouple scripts from served files
[14:22] <nabukadnezar43> i said it's great
[14:22] <llutz> izinucs: i don't have to deal with webservers for a while now, but "in those days" file were owned user:www-data  so the server has access (group) but not write-access
[14:22] <izinucs> SoftarPaul: did you setup ftp to upload files to?
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> nabukadnezar43: "is that all" sounds like unsatisfied to me
[14:22] <subsea> Where can I find "libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3"
[14:22] <rigved> saliak, type gconf-editor in the terminal. then using the left side panel, open apps > gnome-power-manager > buttons. set the lid_ac option to nothing. done! now try it
[14:23] <nabukadnezar43> no i wasnt being sarcastic
[14:23] <SoftarPaul> izinucs: I have no ftp, no
[14:23] <nabukadnezar43> "is that all" as in "is it that simple"
[14:23] <nabukadnezar43> sorry for being unclear :)
[14:23] <llutz> izinucs: permissions 755/644
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> i see, all good :D
[14:25] <izinucs> llutz: like owner www-data:root .. sure.. that's good lots of times .. probably most of the time.  Some CMS's like Joomla require write access to lots of stuff..  it then gets time consuming releaseing write access to different individual files
[14:25] <rigved> saliak, also, do that for the lid_battery option in case you want to use this feature when your laptop is on battery
[14:27] <llutz> izinucs: giving "global" writeaccess because setting correct permissions takes time is inaceptable (imho), it forces security holes.
[14:27] <nabukadnezar43> ActionParsnip: is ufw enabled by default?
[14:27] <schnuffle> llutz: +1
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> nabukadnezar43: the firewall is enabled by default, ufw is just a gui to configure it
[14:29] <nabukadnezar43> ok thanks for the info
[14:30] <shentino> How do I move my desktop to a different VT?  I'd like to park it on vt12 instead of the default vt7
[14:30] <izinucs> llutz: you're right there.  quick fix for a test server but not good practice.
[14:30] <dD0T> http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=747 <-- Contains various urls which are no links. Also some of them seem to be outdated ( www.ubuntu.com/services for example).
[14:31] <subsea> I am trying to run GLview 6.5 but it stops and saying it needs to library : "libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3" In what package is this located?
[14:31] <nabukadnezar43> i still get firewalled error in azureus
[14:32] <nabukadnezar43> despite i've forwarded ports and allowed it to pass firewall
[14:32] <nabukadnezar43> that's pretty weird
[14:33] <kevdog> Hey whats the deal with the com cafe in the forums?  Its been down for like 3 weeks
[14:34] <ikonia> kevdog: ask in #ubuntuforums
[14:35] <kevdog> OK
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> shentino:  dirty way would be to make copies of the /etc/init/tty*.conf files to fill in the rest. :) but im not 100% sure that would work.
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> shentino:  why would you want it on 12 anyway?
[14:35] <elisa87> how can i  use wireless in ubuntu
[14:36] <shentino> I just do.  Long answer is I need moar vt's and it's convenient to scoot my desktop over to number 12
[14:36] <shentino> park a top on 11
[14:36] <shentino> and have 1-10 be gettys
[14:36]  * shentino has already done that /etc/init thingy to start more ttys
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> elisa87:  clarify the questopm a bit.  I just use the network manager to connect to wireless
[14:36] <elisa87> can someone let me know what are the commands for using  wireless in ubuntu?
[14:36] <izinucs> shentino: why not use screen/byobu?
[14:36] <llutz> shentino: learn to use "gnu-screen" if you need more vts
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> shentino:  well the /etc/init/tty1.conf trick will give you moar ttys
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> elisa87: run: sudo lshw -C network; lsusb    one line will identify the chip and you can find guides based on that
[14:37]  * shentino already did the tty trick to get more vts, he just needs to move gdm over to 12
[14:37] <bc81> elisa, are you still having rfkill troubles?
[14:37] <shentino> screen dudes:  Only a real vt works with a few of my programs.  Screen is nice but it's not good enough.
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> shentino:  if it dident auto-move then there must be some gdm config setting in the gdm files.
[14:38] <elisa87> bc81 I don't get  what you  say
[14:38] <shentino> Dr:  I'm looking for that setting right now.  I checked the proc dir for my X server and it was explicitly given a "vt7" argument, but for the life of me I can't detective out the part where gdm tells X to run on vt7
[14:38] <shentino> So far, no luck
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> shentino:  use grep on the config files/dirs i guess.. ive never noticed the settings
[14:39] <shentino> Been there, done that :P
[14:39] <shentino> found zippo
[14:39] <llutz> shentino: only thing i found is /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers::0 local /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 -nolisten tcp
[14:39] <shentino> let me look there
[14:39] <shentino> That directory presently does not exist
[14:40]  * shentino is using the mini cd after an apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[14:40] <subone> Is there a script or something I can tie into that is called when I go from 2 monitors to 1 or 1 to 2? I need to realign my desktop screenlets when one monitor is off
[14:40] <shentino> llutz:  Couldn't find that
[14:41] <shentino> I sent a mail to ubuntu-users on the mls
[14:41] <llutz> shentino: /etc/X11/xdm/
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> subone:  you are actually using 'screenlets' ?
[14:41] <shentino> That directory doesn't exist on my system
[14:41] <subone> Dr_Willis, yes
[14:41] <blozzter> hello, I have a problem with the resolution in ubuntu 10.04
[14:41] <shentino> oh
[14:41] <gsooo> does anyone know how to make a ppp connection available to normal users?
[14:42] <shentino> I'm using Maverick btw
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> subone:  im not sure if theres a good fix. and Im not sure if screenlets is even being actively developed any more.
[14:42] <llutz> shentino: thats odd, but also clarifies that gdm wouldn't use that setting i found before
[14:42] <shentino> I didn't install from the official CD...I used the mini CD and then installed ubuntu-desktop
[14:42] <gsooo> does anyone know how to make a ppp connection available to normal users?
[14:42] <llutz> shentino: maverick here to, from alternate-cd
[14:42] <llutz> too*
[14:43] <Dr_Willis> gsooo:  as in the users can start/stop the connection? or as in use it to get to the internet?
[14:43] <subone> Dr_Willis, well, it seems to be hit or miss finding a widget system that is still being developed and worth a crap... but anyway, i'm pretty sure i can swap out config files and restart the daemon, but i need a way to know when ubuntu recognizes it has switched to using only one monitor
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> subone:  i always found widgits rather lacking.. of course in the next ubuntu release.. the will proberly fall out of favor even more.
[14:44] <NikS> Hi all, I have a doubt.. Can I compile my java programs on the version of Openjdk that comes with Ubuntu desktop by default?
[14:44] <gsooo> Dr_Willis, : no i can make the connection with sudo, bt the connection is undetected by the other programes, still i can use the connection when programmes are run with sudo
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> subone:  you could check the xrandr output.  as part of some script
[14:44] <shentino> So I've ran grep on every file I can find in /etc (recursive grep) and the keyword "vt7" doesn't show up anywhere useful
[14:44] <bc81> gsooo: in network manager there's a box to check "make available to all users"
[14:44]  * shentino is officially stumped
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> gsooo:  Hmm. could be they need to be in a specific group. there is a dialup factoid
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> !dialup
[14:45] <gsooo> im not using network manager, use pon
[14:45] <subone> Dr_Willis, meaning i'd have to run it constantly.... not prefered... i dont use the current release btw, still using 9.10
[14:45] <Wulfy> whats the best way to determine whats causing system load
[14:45] <Dr_Willis> subone:  how are you durning on/off monitors anyway? make an icon.. you change monitors.. you click it. to set the configs to the other set.
[14:46] <gsooo> im already connected bt the problem is that it's only available to root :(
[14:46] <BiPolah> Wulfy: System > Administration > System Monitor > Processes
[14:46] <schnuffle> Wulfy: top, htop ...
[14:46] <Wulfy> BiPolah,  from command line?
[14:46] <Wulfy> schnuffle,  ta
[14:46] <Dr_Willis> gsooo:  i would double check that factoid. it may have someclue as to what to try to fix. I dont even have a modem on any machine thse days
[14:47] <gsooo> Dr_Willis, : can it be due to a problem with the permissions or groups?
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> gsooo:  that would be my first guess.
[14:47] <subone> Dr_Willis, well, i was thinking that. I do have a script i use to turn one off, but i was just wondering if there was a surefire way to do something when ubuntu sees there are two or one  jik it is somehow initiated outside my scripts
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> Wulfy: watch top for a while
[14:47] <gsooo> nyway i've added my account to dip n dialout groups
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> there used tobe a PPP group or dialup group ages ago
[14:48] <gsooo> bt still not working
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: wasn't it dialout
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> gsooo: launch the network management app with gksudo, may help
[14:48] <Dr_Willis> Ive not had a house phone in like 10 years.. :) heh
[14:49] <gsooo> ok thanx i'll see
[14:49] <subone> Dr_Willis, I use scripts and launchers like "Left Display",  "Right Display", "Both Displays"
[14:49] <NikS> Hi, Can I compile my java programs on the version of Openjdk that comes with Ubuntu desktop by default? I mean do I get jdk by default?
[14:49] <Wulfy> ActionParsnip,  yeah been doing that driving me nuts
[14:49] <subone> Dr_Willis,  the launchers point to a script '~/scripts/display.sh' with params left, right, both
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> Wulfy: what looks suspect?
[14:50] <Dynetrekk> NikS: try typing "javac" in the terminal
[14:50] <Dr_Willis> NikS:  i think its not installed by default. the default is the icedtea java in the repos. You can install he sun java if you want
[14:50] <Dynetrekk> NikS: most likely you will get a suggested package if it doesn't exist
[14:50] <NikS> Dynetrekk: tried, it prompted me packages.. that is what confused me..
[14:50] <schnuffle> NikS: java is not installed in the default desktop
[14:51] <Wulfy> ActionParsnip,  ./dionaea (but this has prevously been running fine)
[14:51] <Dynetrekk> NikS: conclusion is, it's not in the default install, so install some of those packages :)
[14:51] <subone> Dr_Willis, but sometimes other circumstances change the resolution. like if i play Diablo II in wine it turns off one monitor (logically) and I'm left with one desktop cloned on both
[14:51] <gsooo> im using Karmic, so i assume that the gnome-network-properties is what i should look into?
[14:51] <NikS> schnuffle ohk..
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> subone:  use xrandr and a script to set it back to how you want  after the game quits.
[14:51] <BiPolah> NikS: You can install Java alongside Flash and mp3 support, among other things, with Ubuntu Restricted Extras
[14:52] <drexl_> lubuntu won't start this is all I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/566656/
[14:52] <NikS> Dynetrekk: ohk.. understood.. thank you, Dynetrekk, schnuffle and Dr_Willis
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> BiPolah: does the restricted extras enable the partner repo for you?
[14:52] <gpc> ActionParsnip: no.
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> drexl_:  you could of pasted the 1 line error message. instead of sending people to a pastebin :)
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> drexl_:  what is saying that error? how are you starting lubuntu"?
[14:53] <NikS> BiPolah: thank you.. for now I need a jdk for my SCJP preparation! :) thanks for help!
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> drexl_: is that from the livecd or an installed OS?
[14:53] <gsooo> Dr_Willis, : im using Karmic, so i assume that the gnome-network-properties is what i should look into?
[14:53] <drexl_> ActionParsnip: it's an installed os
[14:54] <Dr_Willis> gsooo:  proberly. as ive said. ive not used dialup in 10+ yrs..
[14:54] <Dr_Willis> gsooo:  all i know.. sould be mentioned on that dialup wiki page.
[14:54] <teddymills> I have a disk partition called /var, however I only want to mount /var/www (how can this be done?)
[14:54] <gsooo> im using a 3g modem
[14:54] <birrbert> hi boys and girls. I have a problem on my home server running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Server. whenever I run rtorrent after a while the server stops responding, the whole network dies and I have to reboot it manually. do you have any ideas why that happens?
[14:54] <anodesni> Hi, I have 2 screens. Evince goes fullscreen in only one. I want it to stretch along both. Is it possible?
[14:55] <BiPolah> NikS: Bluefish and Netbeans are IDEs that support Java. You can try VisualVM as well
[14:55] <subone> Dr_Willis, right, i know as much, heres my script: http://pastebin.com/WPAZwFgk
[14:55] <Guest46227> hi, need to change wireless driver from ath9k to ath5k for ar9285 chip in maverick, what should I do? have compat-wireless downloaded from the official ubuntu repo, but haven't found the config tool (like athload)
[14:56] <subone> Does anyone know if there is a script that is run when Ubuntu recognizes a screen has been added/removed
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> drexl_: boot to root recovery mode and run: sudo update-grub   may help
[14:56] <drexl_> ActionParsnip: ok
[14:57] <NikS> BiPolah, I am used to eclipse on windows.. was thinking of installing the same here.. will give a try to suggestions though.. :)
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> subone:  if such a thing exists.. it sounds like it might have some sort of 'dbus' function. (im just thinking about things ive read in the past)
[14:57] <BiPolah> NikS: You can get eclipse too. sudo apt-get install eclipse
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> drexl_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/531027
[14:58] <bc81> subone: all i knw of is ~/.config/monitors.xml
[14:58] <gsooo> Dr_Willis, : the connection seems to be ok , btw im using a 3g modem
[14:58] <gsooo> Dr_Willis, : i checked the /etc/resolve.conf and it seems ok too
[14:58] <subone> never did get the damn monitors to stay asleep when running display.sh sleep from the computer locally
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> gsooo:  you are using it as a teather? or actualy dialing at 56K to some isp?
[14:59] <gsooo> Dr_Willis, : well it dials to my mobile operator, and connects and i can access internet as root
[14:59] <NikS> ohk.. :) thanks guys.. Have a very slow limited Internet here, will try the downloads late by night! bye for now..!
[15:00] <Guest46227> hi, need to change wireless driver from ath9k to ath5k for ar9285 chip in maverick, what should I do? have compat-wireless downloaded from the official ubuntu repo, but haven't found the config tool (like athload)
[15:00] <gsooo> bt not as a regular user, thus i've to run every programe as root
[15:01] <llutz> gsooo: your user is member of "dialout" group?
[15:01] <cronix> hi all
[15:02] <bc81> hi
[15:02] <gsooo> llutz, : yeah
[15:02] <cronix> anyone here is using pxe and debmirror to provide a completely offline ubuntu installation envoirement?
[15:02] <gsooo> llutz, : i init the connection with "sudo pon connection"
[15:02] <cronix> the pxe part works fine for me, but the debmirror ubuntu mirror is giving me some headache
[15:03] <cronix> the installer complains about a bad d-i packages file
[15:03] <cronix> and tells me that it couldnt download because the server gives a 404 on that file
[15:03] <Sepuku> help quickstart
[15:03] <cronix> but if i download that file via webbrowser it works fine
[15:06] <z0mb1e_kgd> hi, need to change wireless driver from ath9k to ath5k for ar9285 chip in maverick, what should I do? have compat-wireless downloaded from the official ubuntu repo, but haven't found the config tool (like athload)
[15:06] <alterego712> hey i installed xubuntu within ubuntu and i im still gettin like gnomes right click menu on desktop and my desktop from gnome
[15:06] <alterego712> is there anyway to fix this
[15:07] <z0mb1e_kgd> anybody?
[15:08] <BluesKaj> z0mb1e_kgd, sudo modprobe ath5 ?
[15:08] <z0mb1e_kgd> will check and revert
[15:10] <BluesKaj> z0mb1e_kgd, run lsmod to see what modules are installed
[15:10] <kevdog> ath5k -- that's not madwifi is it?
[15:11] <kevdog> I think only the madwifi drivers come with the config tools like athload
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> z0mb1e_kgd: make sure you blacklist the ath9k
[15:11] <kevdog> blacklisting a module only prevents it from loading on startup if the module has been compiled into the kernel at buildtime
[15:12] <testament> hi all
[15:12] <testament> i've installed and started hamachi but i can't make it working correctly
[15:13] <testament> someone can give me a little hint?
[15:14] <teddymills> okay, if /var is existing..and there is no /var/www...can I mount my partitition to /var/www ?
[15:14] <llutz> teddymills: sure
[15:16] <z0mb1e_kgd> BluesKaj, I have loaded the ath5k through modprobe as you said, lsmod shows ath5k at the very top of the list. How do I make it active?
[15:16] <rigved> teddymills, yes you can but preferably mount it to /media
[15:16] <izinucs> how do you restart the system on cli? sudo restart now doesn't work so I'm missing something..
[15:16] <subone> izinucs, sudo shutdown -r now
[15:16] <alterego712> i installed xubuntu thru term on ubuntu and when i log into xubuntu session im still gettin abunch of gnome stuff launchin when i start a xubuntu session
[15:16] <rigved> izinucs, sudo shutdown -r now
[15:16] <kevdog> sudo init 6
[15:17] <kevdog> Thats less to type :)
[15:17] <llutz> izinucs: sudo reboot
[15:17] <izinucs> subone: rigved so the -r switch on shutdown is for reboot?
[15:17] <subone> izinucs,  yes
[15:17] <izinucs> llutz: that's short and sweet.. I like it
[15:17] <izinucs> Thanks.  I'll be back..
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: yes, -h is halt (shutdown)
[15:18] <izinucs> -P turns power off.. (that one I know)
[15:18] <BluesKaj> z0mb1e_kgd, sudo dhclient, as long as you have nm-applet settings enabled
[15:18] <kevdog> man shutdown explains the flags
[15:19] <alterego712> i installed xubuntu thru term on ubuntu and when i log into xubuntu session im still gettin abunch of gnome stuff launchin when i start a xubuntu session
[15:20] <z0mb1e_kgd> BluesKaj, done
[15:20] <rigved> alterego712, which gnome-stuff is being launched?
[15:20] <BluesKaj> z0mb1e_kgd, did it show a connection lease

[15:23] <lmvc> Hi guys, does anyone know how to surf the Internet through commands (doing this just 4 fun)
[15:23] <jrib> lmvc: depends what you mean
[15:23] <BluesKaj> z0mb1e_kgd, did you even choose thje wireless option in network manager ot is it one of those intels that uses ? wifi as eth0
 by using the command line terminal I want to surf the internet
[15:23] <Wulfy> lmvc sure i often surf the net with commands its normaly the wife looking over my shoulder telling me what sites to go on and what to click
[15:23] <z0mb1e_kgd> kevdog, how do I use pastebin (I rarely use irc, sorry)?
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> lmvc: links2
[15:24] <kevdog> There is a link for pastebin at the top of the IRC window, go to that link in the browser, paste the output, and then paste the link to this window
[15:24] <rigved> BluesKaj, wifi is wlan0
[15:24] <jrib> lmvc: w3m, links, links2, elinks, wget, curl... Something more useful to check out would be pentadactyl, uzbl, or luakit

[15:24] <yamaha147> Hi! Can anyone help me with BacKTrack in here?
[15:24] <jrib> !backtrack | yamaha147
[15:24] <BluesKaj> !backtrack
[15:25] <yamaha147> !backtrack
[15:25] <gpc> yamaha147: type /join #backtrack-linux
[15:25] <BluesKaj> yamaha147, read the post
[15:25] <yamaha147> thanks! this is my first time
 thanks dude
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> lmvc: no worries
[15:26] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip, I'm not sure I can help z0mb1e_kgd  much further if his wifi is showing up as eth0 :(
[15:27] <z0mb1e_kgd> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566669/
[15:27] <z0mb1e_kgd> correct?
[15:27] <BluesKaj> z0mb1e_kgd, it looks like you're connected
 well im not married yet. lol
[15:28] <Wulfy> lmvc,  :-)
[15:28] <dougl> I just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my acer 5745pg notebook followed by the nvidia drivers and now x wont start = any suggestions?
 Am I allowed to download torrents with the options (w3m, links, links 2 ...) you gave me?
[15:29] <yeats> !nvidia | dougl
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: you can use wicd, then tell it to use eth0 as the wireless device
[15:29] <dougl> yeats, thanks
[15:29] <jrib> lmvc: no, use rtorrent or btdownload* for that...
[15:29] <z0mb1e_kgd> BluesKaj, I am, but the nm-applet still shoes ath9k as the current wifi driver. should I reboot?
[15:29] <Wulfy> jrib i susspect he means the .torrent file
[15:30] <BluesKaj> z0mb1e_kgd, I suppose , I'm not sure , as long as you can connect does it matter
[15:31] <Wulfy> BluesKaj,  we could say the same about using windows, we can get the job done.... so does it matter about the os?
 but can I do it through the terminal; coz my internet connection is very very very slow. so my university allowed me to get into the University computer cluster to download files from there.
[15:32] <nowisn> got a silly question, i'm running 10.4 lucid on a htpc that i've connected through hdmi to a panisonic tcp42c2 plasma, now i can't get the desktop to fit the screen, I have no setting of 1024x768 choice in the monitor wizard, anything else i can set to adjust that desktop size to fit the screen??
[15:32] <Dazzled> hi, is there a way to hotkey a hardware switch between laptop speakers and a USB headset?
[15:32] <BluesKaj> Wulfy, that apretty braod statement . Mine was only atheros specific , nothing about OSs
[15:33] <Dazzled> now it mutes the laptop speakers but it doesn't switch to the headset
[15:33] <Wulfy> BluesKaj,  it was still relavant to the comment
[15:33] <soreau> Dazzled: hotkey?
[15:33] <Dazzled> (in Preferences > Sound > Output)
[15:34] <soreau> Dazzled: Have you tried looking for the device in gnome-sound-preoperties?
[15:34] <soreau> properties*
[15:34] <MagicJ> i have tor installed and running - how do I make foxyproxy use it
[15:34] <z0mb1e_kgd> BluesKaj, it does, as ath9k has difficulties with using aircrack, so I need to switch to ath5k that is said to have no problem
[15:34] <Dazzled> soreau: it works alright, but it doesn't switch
[15:34] <BluesKaj> Wulfy, , relavence is in the mind of the beholder ...if you're looking for some kind of debate you won't get one here..that's all I have to say
[15:35] <soreau> Dazzled: afaik, it will only switch if it was in use before you unplugged it
[15:35] <[bean]> MagicJ: why dont you just use the tor bundle from the tor project site. it has everything configured and working already
[15:35] <Dazzled> soreau: ah, k
[15:35] <Dazzled> thansk
[15:35] <BluesKaj> z0mb1e_kgd, did you reboot?
[15:35] <Dazzled> thanks*
[15:35] <kevdog> madwifi (ath5k) along with Broadcom work well with aircrack, other chipsets do not work as well
[15:36] <jrib> lmvc: yes, rtorrent and btdownload* are terminal applications
[15:36] <dougl> I just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my acer 5745pg notebook followed by the nvidia drivers and now x wont start... lspci is listing 2 VGA adapter so I thing the drivers are confused = any suggestions?
 hey Actionparsnip do you know if links2 allows me to download torrents. I need to be able to torrents using the terminal coz my internet connection is very slow and coz my mom doesnt allows me to have the computer on for entire days. So my university allowed me to get into the cluster there. My idea is to start the download, then apply the & command and every week go to my university to get my files. Help me please with ideas or suggestions
[15:37] <dougl> one intel and one nvidia
 ok thanks again
[15:37] <soreau> dougl: How did you install the nvidia drivers?
[15:38] <dougl> soreau, the little icon on the top of the screen indicated I needed to.
[15:38] <llutz> dougl: sounds like "optimus" thingy, which switches graphic-adaptors when needed. afaik theres no linux-support now
[15:38] <z0mb1e_kgd> BluesKaj, nope, I will try now, but I am not sure it will work as I only added the ath5k module to the kernel, but did not specify it as the current wireless driver
[15:38] <kevdog> Are you sure your hardware is supported by the ath5k module?
[15:39] <Wulfy> BluesKaj, nope wasnt looking for a debate my point was yes they may have been conncted but it may not be doing whats required, if we follow your train of thought i could connect to the net with a 56k modem.... im connected why bother anything else
[15:39] <soreau> dougl: Try booting into recovery mode and editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and changing Driver nvidia to Driver vesa
[15:39] <kevdog> sudo rmmod ath9k; sudo modprobe ath5k
[15:40] <dougl> llutz, thanks for the insight = so I don't get nvidia drivers?
[15:40] <soreau> dougl: or nouveau. You can also blacklist the nvidia kernel module if its still causing a problem
[15:40] <BluesKaj> z0mb1e_kgd, I'm not sure what you mean by specify it as current wifi driver ... it will probly show as such after a reboot
[15:40] <dougl> soreau, but these are disabling nvidia drivers so I don't get compiz?
[15:40] <kevdog> Just unload the current kernel module, and load the ath5k module to see if it associates with the device -- you can worry about the blacklisting of drivers later (which only automates the process at boot)
[15:40] <llutz> dougl: idk, i don't own such hardware just read something about it a few days before
[15:41]  * ElderDryas wakes up and marvels that soreau is still playing with NIVIDIA
[15:41] <z0mb1e_kgd> kevdog, I am not, I will try to find that out and do as you say
[15:41] <z0mb1e_kgd> ok, I will
[15:41] <soreau> ElderDryas: Its not my machine :)
[15:42] <ElderDryas> I know, hopefully it is not the same person your helping?
[15:42] <soreau> dougl: You said X isnt starting and you cant very well have compiz without X.. can you pastebin your X log from the failed session?
[15:42] <soreau> ElderDryas: Same crappy nvidia, different customer ;)
[15:43] <ElderDryas> foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds :)
[15:43] <blorg28> hi
[15:44] <BluesKaj> !who | kevdog
[15:45] <doodlenox> i have installed the latest netbook version 10.10 of ubuntu twice but still have problems clicking on the application menu down the left side of the screen as it disappears each time i hover-- any ideas?
[15:45] <dougl> soreau, pastbin is hard to use when you have no X (EE) No devices detected is the error... do you need more?
[15:46] <BluesKaj> kevdog, I think your advice is important so you should use the nick you're directng the advice to
[15:46] <llutz> !pastebinit
[15:46] <llutz> ^^ dougl
[15:46] <Dr_Willis> dougl:  use teh pastebinit command.
[15:46] <z0mb1e_kgd> kevdog, it didn't associate =( I reloaded the ath9k module and it reestablished the connection right after
[15:47] <BluesKaj> z0mb1e_kgd, so you have a connection with the ath9 module ?
[15:47] <kevdog> If you know your chipset and revision number of your card (sudo lswh -C network), you can then google by these parameters to see if your chipset is supported by ath5k, my bet however it is not
[15:47] <blorg28> I switched from debian to ubuntu and I have a problem with setting up separate X session on two screen. the nvidia settings tool can't guess my nvidia card pci bus ID. so when I apply it's conf file to xorg.conf, I got no xorg...
[15:47] <z0mb1e_kgd> kevdog, it is ar9285
[15:48] <soreau> dougl: You can use pastebinit or curl like this: sudo apt-get install curl && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us
[15:48] <Dr_Willis> Hmm whats a 't' permission? never noticed that befor in ls -l output -> drwxr-xr-t 2 willis willis      4096 2011-02-13 05:41 Gold
[15:48] <kevdog> Im not familar with ar9285 but a google search will clearly reveal the answer
[15:49] <llutz> Dr_Willis: sticky /man chmod
[15:49] <lmvc> How can i uninstall an application, for example i just installed links2; at the end, i dont like how it works and i dont want it on my computer anymore. Thanks for ur help
[15:49] <dougl> soreau, yeah I have no wifi on that notebook cuz I cannot get into X to connect
[15:49] <llutz> Dr_Willis: i.e. default for /tmp
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> lmvc: sudo apt-get --purge remove links2
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> llutz:  now i have to wonder how they got the t option...
[15:50] <aMuleAduGuest136> buonasera,,,,,
 thanks again
[15:51] <soreau> dougl: Well that is crappy. You can connect without NetworkManager but if its wpa, it could be a whole nother episode
[15:51] <alpha7> Anyone having a problem with ubuntu one with firefox ???????///
[15:51] <bc81> is it possible to purge config files for software packages already removed?
[15:51] <doodlenox> Can anyone hlep -  i have installed the latest netbook version 10.10 of ubuntu twice but still have problems clicking on the application menu down the left side of the screen as it disappears each time i hover-- any ideas?
[15:51] <z0mb1e_kgd> BluesKaj, I have and I had it before. I just need to switch from one working wireless driver (ath9k, that has some issues with aircrack) to another one (ath5k, that is said to have none)
[15:51] <llutz> Dr_Willis: how is easy, chmod 1755 dir    . the "why" is more interesting :)
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> alpha7:  if no one knows in here. theres #ubuntuone
[15:52] <Pudabudigada> Hello, my PC can't detect floppy disks. Running 10.10
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> llutz:  yea. nautiuls was crashhing when i 'moved' a directory earlier. (did it several times)  i think it left it with the 't' mode.
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> Pudabudigada:  try mounting them by hand?
[15:53] <BluesKaj>  z0mb1e_kgd yes I understand that , but I assumed you removed the ath9k module
[15:53] <Pudabudigada> Dr_Willis, what's the path?
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> what is the floppy device these days? /dev/fd0? fdd?
[15:53] <AbhijiT> !floppy
[15:53] <llutz> fd0
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> Pudabudigada:  check dmesg output perhaps.. i dont have a single machine with a floppy any more. :)
[15:53] <Pudabudigada> Thanks
[15:53] <AbhijiT> Pudabudigada, ^^^^
[15:54] <doodlenox> any ideas Dr_Willis
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> I did find my LS120 drive the other day. :)
[15:54] <offsense> any difference between ubuntu-netbook and ubuntu-netbook 2D session?
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> doodlenox:  you did update/upgrade  ?
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> doodlenox:  i dont use the netbook interface. so dont know of any issues with it.
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> offsense:  less eyecandy/effects i hear.
[15:55] <lmvc> Is there the possibility to get multiple tabs on my terminal window?. Similar to what i can do in mozilla firefox or internet explore.
[15:55] <ptrxyz> !floppy
[15:55] <samiABC> Hey, how would I go on about enabling N speeds (300Mbps) on my WLAN? Mine is currently only getting G speeds (54Mbps) even though I'm connected an N network
[15:55] <chris_wilkinson> lmvc click file then open tab
[15:56] <mecablaze> I am trying to install Ubuntu on my SATA hard drive which already has windows 7 on it. When I go into the ubuntu installer, it doesn't even see the hard drive with Windows on it. In windows I made 80gb of unpartitioned spaced to install Ubuntu on but Ubuntu it doesn't even seem to have the correct drivers to read my hard drive. Has anyone has this problem before?
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> mecablaze:  every so often someone comes in with a 'drive not seen' issue. but ive never seen a definitive fix.
 thanks dude
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> mecablaze:  the forums proberly have several threads on the issue.
[15:57] <frxstrem> is there a way to disable the password dialog that pops up when I plug an encrypted hard drive into my computer?
[15:58] <Dazzled> hm, if I watch a full screen youtube video, if I change the volume, it pops out of full screen
[15:58] <Dazzled> is that by design?
[15:59] <Dazzled> (I mean, shouldn't it just stay in full screen, or overlay it on top)
 another question. Im running Xchat in a graphical mode. I think this consumes more bandwith that if I would run it with commands. Do you know if there exist a XCHAT version with commands?
[15:59] <doodlenox> Dr_Willis> - i am now downloading the desktop version now for my laptop 5 yo dell
 I am not aware of there being a way to do that
[16:00] <gpc> lmvc: Xchat is a GUI client, you can try irssi a CLI client.
 I'm new to Xchat and IRC myself so I'm still playing
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> Dazzled: is your OS 64bit?
[16:00] <sjk> Hmmmm. My Macbooks touchpad was more sensitive when I ran OS X, I think. On OS X I could just put the tip of my finger on it and it would react. On Ubuntu I have to place a larger portion of my finger tip on the pad for it to work. I've turned the sensitivity up to max in System -> preferences -> mouse
[16:00] <samiABC> Hey, any idea how to get my Wireless N adapter to actually use N speeds?
[16:00] <sjk> Any ideas?
[16:00] <llutz> lmvc: why should xchat use more bandwidth than a cli-irc-client?
[16:01] <Dazzled> ActionParsnip: yes, it is
[16:01] <BluesKaj> lmvc, it's not xcaht but irssi runs irc in the command line
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> samiABC: some adapters get disconnection issues tryingto get N speeds
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> Dazzled: have you tried the 64bit flash?
[16:01] <BiPolah> samiABC: Your adapter (and wireless device (laptop)) has to support N protocols
[16:01] <gpc> llutz: because it goes out to get all the pictures :)
[16:01] <llutz> gpc: aaaaah i seee
[16:01] <BluesKaj> !irssi | lmvc
[16:01] <Dazzled> ActionParsnip: I know of the Square project, but I'm a bit hesitant to try
[16:02] <mobidroid> Hi I'm going crazy, I disable the touchpad on my macbook rununing ubuntu and it go on few sec after ive set the thing off, is there a magic formula or a special danse that will allow me to keep the touchpad off?
[16:02] <Dazzled> how do I verify what I am running now?
[16:02] <samiABC> ActionParsnip, BiPolah,  I have a Buffalo WLI-UC-G300N which is an N adapter. Works at 270 Mbps in windows but I'm only getting 54 Mbps in Ubuntu
 flash isn't great on Ubuntu for me.  It constantly crashes in the middle of Youtube videos
[16:02] <mobidroid> or the DISABLE option is just a placebo?
[16:02] <mecablaze> I am looking at a bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/658521 and it says the bug was fixed in the package linux - 2.6.37-8.20, how do I get this version?
 no worries my friend. You know more that me anyway. About your question im not so sure, but in a forum I read that graphical interfaces consumes more bandwith. Again im not sure of that. and im trying to minimize the process in my computer. It is very old
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> chris_wilkinson:  youtube can do HTML5 instead of flash if youy use the chrome/chromium browsers.
[16:03] <mkanyicy> what is the "lost+found" directory for on a filesystem? is it ok for me to delete it?
[16:03] <alevsk> Hi can someone help me with this query to mysql in bash plz?variable=`
[16:03] <alevsk> mysql -u root --password=milenio << eof
[16:03] <alevsk> use videos;
 Thanks I will look into that
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> lmvc:  i perfer weechat to irssi. :) but i imagine an irc client is not going to be much load compared to other things.
[16:03] <llutz> mkanyicy: ignore it, its used by fsck on errors
 its just part of the file system.  just let it be
[16:04] <BiPolah> alevsk: Should password be "--password=" or just "-password <password>"?
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> mkanyicy: it is in every linux partition you have, it doesn't do anything
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> mkanyicy:  if the disk gets 'checked' and anything is recovered.. it goes in there.
[16:04] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis, I tried html5 with chromium , I kept getting a install flash message
 yeah im gonna try both.
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> BluesKaj:  you did sign up for the HTML5 testing, theres a check box at youtube.com/html5
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> I think thats the url
[16:04] <mkanyicy> llutz: chris_wilkinson, ActionParsnip, Dr_Willis, guess i should not mess with it then, thanks gentlepeople
[16:05] <alevsk> actually the error ocurre in "SELECT filename FROM zp_images WHERE show = 1;" I dont know what is wrong because in PHP works fine but in bash no
[16:05] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis, no I didn't notice it
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> BluesKaj:  im not sure if EVERY video is avail for html5.. but i think most are

[16:05] <alevsk> ERROR in show = 1;
 If i install weechat, can I login to this chatroom. Coz i really like this chatroom
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> Dazzled: if you used the normal repo way you are using the 32bit through a 64bit wrapper
[16:05] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis, ok thanks
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> lmvc:  any irc client can get in here...
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> lmvc:  theres 100's of irc clients you can use. :)
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> well proberly dozens.. heh
 Ok
[16:06] <Dazzled> ActionParsnip: It's been a while, atm I'm looking for a way to check what I'm running now
[16:06] <Dazzled> I'll go check my plugins folder
[16:06] <eyceberg> i am having issues reinstalling the grub boot loader after i installed windows 7. I can not find the grldr.mbr to copy it to the C:\
[16:06] <chris_wilkinson> Ok so is this a channel we are on now?  Or a server?  IRC is confusing
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> lmvc:  weechat in a rxvt window. about as minimal as you are going to get for the featureset.
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> chris_wilkinson:  check the wikipedia page on irc.. irc is rather simple..
[16:06] <BluesKaj> lmvc, dunno if you noticed the irssi recommendation for command line irc client
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> chris_wilkinson:  servers connect to form  anetwork. that has channels..
[16:06] <mkanyicy> alevsk: WHERE show = '1';  maybe?
 Cheers
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> chris_wilkinson:  other networks exist . dalnet, efnet, and so on.
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> chris_wilkinson:  but Any of the 'freenode' servers have the same channels , and get you here.
[16:07] <alevsk> mkanyicy: Thanks, I try with the '' but the error still appear
[16:08] <eyceberg> iam using lucid 10.04
[16:08] <mkanyicy> alevsk: then what is the command that is executed by php, the one that works
[16:08] <Dazzled> the fullscreen <> volume adjustments works okay in HTML5
[16:08] <alevsk> this is my script http://www.copypastecode.com/63645/
[16:08] <mkanyicy> alevsk: ok let me check
[16:09] <Dazzled> but it takes an extra step, as the fullscreen movie to fill the tab, not the window
[16:09] <Dazzled> and if it has ads in it, it'll still load Flash
[16:09] <Dazzled> but that's Google, not Ubuntu acting up :)
[16:09] <eyceberg> can anyone tell me why my name is greyed out iam running off a live cd atm,
[16:10] <BiPolah> alevsk: Why is there eof in there? Isn't that for PHP?
 No i havent. Is there any spetial feature i must know?
[16:12] <mkanyicy> alevsk: last line
[16:12] <mkanyicy> alevsk: "echo variable > log" should be "echo $variable > log"
[16:13] <mkanyicy> alevsk: tested with my database, it works.
[16:13] <Dazzled> does anyone know if there's a bug database of the Ubuntu installer?
[16:14] <Dazzled> I've noticed some painful translation errors
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> Dazzled: look for ubiquity errors

[16:15] <Roo79> does anyone know of a good email checker for ubuntu like this one http://owaislone.org/blog/gmail-watcher/ I've tried popper http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/email-notification-in-ubuntu-popper/ but I found it hard to setup I want one that will launch my pop3 mail {windows live mail} in chromium? basically I'd like gmail-watcher but for windows live. any ideas please and I do not use evolution or thunderbird
[16:16] <nicko> Hwello
[16:17] <BiPolah> Roo79: Evolution comes built in to Ubuntu
[16:18] <BluesKaj> sorry Dr_Willis, but all I get at youtube after signing up to html5 is the install flash message on any video I choose ..is there something else I should know ?
[16:18] <BiPolah> BluesKaj: perhaps just use Flash instead?
[16:18] <samiABC> Okay, so any way to reach enable 300mbps? I got disconnected so I didn't see any answers if someone answered :<
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> Roo79: there is a gmail addon for chrome
[16:19] <bc81> Roo79: i'musing mail-notification to check multiple gmail accounts
[16:19] <Dazzled> BluesKaj: I just enabled HTML5, try finding a video without ads
[16:19] <Roo79> BiPolah I do not use evolution or any mail clients only web mail
[16:19] <Dazzled> otherwhise it'll try to load Flash anyway
[16:20] <BiPolah> SamiABC: I'd suggest making sure your wifi with Ubuntu is set to use n.
[16:20] <z0055> Anyone here running 10.10 and using a Linksys wusb54g wireless adapter by chance?  It connects fine and will scan networks but I cant seem to actually connect to a network

[16:21] <alevsk> Im back
[16:21] <samiABC> BiPolah, where can I change that? Only place I found something even remotely related was iwconfig which does list my adapter as IEEE 802.11bgn
[16:21] <samiABC> compatible
[16:21] <BluesKaj> Dazzled, afraid not,  same message in the player :(

[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Guest50823: how does it connect? Does it have a make or model?
[16:23] <bc81> Roo79: mail-notification can do windows live hotmail > http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/ check your settings again
[16:23] <Guest50823> Make or model ? i can't understand
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Dazzled: did you try the 64bir flash?
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Guest50823: of the keyboard, what is its make and model...
[16:23] <Roo79> is there a way to get mail-notification to work with windows live mail
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> Roo79: do you mean hotmail?
[16:24] <Roo79> no windows live mail

[16:24] <Roo79> pop3.live.com
[16:24] <bc81> Roo79: maybe you need to enable pop access in your live mail setting
[16:24] <pancho> holas
[16:24] <Roo79> it is pop3
[16:25] <Dazzled> ActionParsnip: not yet, comments say it doesn't support the GPU acceleration yet, and I'm still veryfing what version I have
[16:25] <ergoproxy> Hello Ubuntu Guru types.  I'm very new to the OS, and have failed to find a tool that can bind software to specific IP interfaces.  Is there such a tool?  My end goal is binding my IRC client to my VPN interface, so if my VPN drops, traffic stops.  Thanks for any help
[16:25] <pancho> alguien ke hable esañol
[16:25] <Dazzled> BluesKaj: that's odd :/
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> Roo79: http://hubpages.com/hub/Ubuntu-Email-Notification-Checker
[16:25] <Quantum_Ion> Email clients suck
[16:25] <bc81> !es | pancho
[16:25] <Quantum_Ion> best to use a web client like Gmail
[16:25] <Guest50823> in morning its work fine
[16:25] <Dazzled> ActionParsnip:  10.2 d161
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> Quantum_Ion: depends on needs
[16:25] <Dazzled> but it doesn't say 32/64
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> Dazzled: you'll find its 32bit
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> Dazzled: if you used the standard repos
[16:26] <Roo79> I use chromium not firefox but t looks very good
[16:26] <Quantum_Ion> ActionParsnip, Why do you need an email client like Evolution its dated
[16:26] <Guest50823> generic 105-key(intl) PC
[16:26] <Guest50823> this is make and model
[16:27] <Guest50823> help me
[16:27] <bc81> Quantum_Ion:
[16:27] <Guest50823> its really sucks me
[16:27] <bc81> oops, disregard that
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> Quantum_Ion: there are more clients than evolution
[16:28] <Pudabudigada> Hello, I have just installed an Nvidia driver with the 'additional drivers' tool, now I'm stuck in 640x480 and the Nvidia control panel will not allow me to increase it.
[16:28] <asmodaisda> !fr
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> Quantum_Ion: if Evolution suits a users needs, it should be used. Is that not logical?
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> Guest31469: look on the actual device, I don't care what the OS says
[16:29] <Quantum_Ion> ActionParsnip, All I am saying Evolution is dated because so many people used web based web clients
[16:29] <rozgwiazda> hello, is there enyone who is speaking polish?
[16:29] <Dazzled> ActionParsnip: Download done.
[16:29] <Dazzled> Flash Plugin installed.
[16:29] <Dazzled> fingers crossed
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> Quantum_Ion: so something that more people use automatically make it superior?
[16:30] <bc81> !pl | rozgwiazda
[16:30] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, Do any of these other clients have conduits to my palm pilot?  The only conduits I ever see are ones for Evolution.
[16:30] <Kranix> The Ubuntu One > Synchronize this folder menu item in Nautilus isn't working for me.
[16:30] <Pudabudigada> Help?
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: no idea dude, i don't use one
[16:31] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, Okay, thanks.
[16:31] <Quantum_Ion> ActionParsnip, Nope
[16:31] <Pudabudigada> Hello, I have just installed an Nvidia driver with the 'additional drivers' tool, now I'm stuck in 640x480 and the Nvidia control panel will not allow me to increase it.
[16:31] <Dazzled> ActionParsnip: heh, you were right, it doesn't pop out anymore :)
[16:31] <Dazzled> how odd
[16:31] <z0055> does ubuntu 10.10 come with ndiswrapper installed?
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> Quantum_Ion: so how is evolution being dated have any relation to more people using web based email?
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> Dazzled: good stuff :)
[16:32] <ergoproxy> I'm very new to the OS, and have failed to find a tool that can bind software to specific IP interfaces.  Is there such a tool?  My end goal is binding my IRC client to my VPN interface, so if my VPN drops, traffic stops.  Thanks for any help
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> Quantum_Ion: the link between the two simply doesn't exist
[16:32] <Quantum_Ion> ActionParsnip, Its just that everything is becoming more web based now
[16:32] <bc81> sounds like you shuld go to offtopic and discuss further
[16:32] <Starlight> Hello there! Can someone help me to set up a TeamSpeak 3 server in Ubuntu?
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> Quantum_Ion: maybe but some users like an email client and enjoy the features
[16:33] <Starlight> And where can I find a list of programs running in the background..? Like windows task manager?
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> Starlight: http://robert.penz.name/296/howto-install-teamspeak-3-server-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid/
[16:33] <llutz> Starlight: ps -ef
[16:33] <Starlight> ps -ef?
[16:34] <Pudabudigada> Can anyone help?
[16:34] <gpc> Starlight: System > Administration > System Monitor
[16:34] <bc81> Starlight: System > Administration > System Monitor: Processes
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> Starlight: press CTRL+ALT+T  and run:  ps -ef | less     or use the gui app as described above.
[16:34] <bc81> !anyone | Pudabudigada
[16:34] <Pudabudigada> I have already asked my real question...
[16:35] <yeats> !nvidia | Pudabudigada
[16:35] <bc81> yes, butothers who may know the answer have come and gone by then
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> Starlight: there are 32bit files in the same folder if your OS is 32bit
[16:35] <Starlight> And one more thing.. Is it normal that when I start the TS3 client after installing it with the software center.. The program uses a long time to start and then when closing it, it freeze..?
[16:35] <Pudabudigada> It being this: <Pudabudigada> Hello, I have just installed an Nvidia driver with the 'additional drivers' tool, now I'm stuck in 640x480 and the Nvidia control panel will not allow me to increase it
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> Pudabudigada: run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig   then reboot
[16:36] <Pudabudigada> Thanks
[16:36] <Fuchs> Pudabudigada: sounds to me like the EDID of the monitor can't be read
[16:36] <Fuchs> Pudabudigada: I recommend that you create a nvidia bug report and link to it here
[16:36] <Pudabudigada> How do I do that?
[16:37] <dougl> llutz, I think it was that optimus thing disabled switchable option in bios and nvidia drivers work fine now.
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> Pudabudigada: in a terminal
[16:37] <ergoproxy> I'm very new to the OS, and have failed to find a tool that can bind software to specific IP interfaces.  Is there such a tool?  My end goal is binding my IRC client to my VPN interface, so if my VPN drops, traffic stops.  Thanks for any help
[16:37] <eyceberg> hello
[16:37] <Pudabudigada> I meant how do I make a bug report, I know how to enter a terminal command :p
[16:37] <llutz> dougl: lucky you are, there seem to be laptops without that switching option out there :(
[16:38] <Logan_WP> !bug | Pudabudigada
[16:38] <gpc> Pudabudigada: try fixing the problem first if that works no need to report the bug
[16:38] <gremmachook> I have installed Ubuntu using Wubi right now.
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> Pudabudigada: ubuntu-bug packagename
[16:39] <gremmachook> I want to remove Vista completely and keep Ubuntu. I have installed a lot of packages and I want to keep them. How do I do it?
[16:39] <sacarlson>  ergoproxy sounds like you need to setup a default route gateway to your vpn
[16:39] <alevsk> http://www.copypastecode.com/63645/ this is my code
[16:39] <JeffJassky> Hey, guys. I'm rather new to server admin and i'm having an issue. i have a webserver running apache. Been running fine for months. all of a sudden apache can't start because: Read-only file system: apache2: could not open error log file /var/log/apache2/error.log.
[16:39] <dougl> llutz, very lucky - but was still within the return period for best buy's policy - lol
[16:39] <JeffJassky> after googling it seems everyone is saying that a drive is mounted as read-only.
[16:40] <ergoproxy> sacarlson: you mean set up a static route?  Is there a way to do that for just one program?
[16:40] <gremmachook> I have a lot of packages installed and I want to keep them.
[16:40] <mkanyicy> JeffJassky: your filesystem is mounted readonly and that means that errors might have been encountered
[16:40] <sacarlson> ergoproxy: no a default gateway would effect all applications
[16:40] <gpc> gremmachook: you installed with Wubi?
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> !aptoncd | gremmachook
[16:40] <mkanyicy> JeffJassky: try to reboot again
[16:40] <ubuntu_> hey, is there a single command to enable the universe multiverse and third party repositories?
[16:41] <kannan_> is there any way to customize "move to" option in nautilus?
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_: you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list   or enable in software centre
[16:41] <gremmachook> ActionParsnip, Sexy! I'll try it.
[16:41] <gremmachook> gpc, Yes. Wubi.
[16:41] <sacarlson> ergoproxy: I guess for one application you would use a proxy
[16:41] <JeffJassky> mkanyicy: I've rebooted about 3 times with no luck. same issue each time.. i'm running on a rackspace cloud host which means it's a virtual machine.. i'm not sure how/why any drives would be mounting as read-only on boot up.
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> kannan_: ubuntu tweak has some nautilus scripts you can enable
[16:41] <gremmachook> !offline
[16:42] <JeffJassky> mkanyicy: i'm not even sure where I would go to see like.. boot-up logs to see if there would be an issue anywhere.
[16:42] <Wulfy|away> JeffJassky,  did it crash or something and the file system needs a fsck?
[16:42] <ubuntu_> ActionParsnip,  I know, but I need an single terminal command...
[16:42] <samiABC> How can I enable N on my wireless?
[16:42] <sacarlson> ergoproxy: or maybe a dnat iptables entry to route all trafic of a specific port to a gateway path
[16:42] <mkanyicy> JeffJassky: can you pastebin the output of the command 'mount' ?
[16:42] <gpc> gremmachook: go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide and scroll down to Section 8.8
[16:42] <JeffJassky> Wulfy|away: maybe.. i've never done an fsck
[16:42] <kannan_> ActionParsnip: thanks dude...
[16:42] <HelgeSverre> Gunndawg, omg you are hard to track down man.
[16:43] <JeffJassky> mkanyicy: http://pastebin.com/HMRC7gzs
[16:43] <ergoproxy> sacarlson: Do you know where i could find some documentation to take me through that process?
[16:43] <gpc> gremmachook: Please read the instruction carefully before running any commands
[16:43] <mkanyicy> JeffJassky: you can type 'sudo touch /forcefsck' and then reboot. fsck will check your filesystem at boot time.
[16:43] <sacarlson> ergoproxy: I would first see if your application supports proxy as most browsers do maybe your irc app does also
[16:43] <gremmachook> gpc, Thanks, I'll look at it. :)
[16:44] <JeffJassky> mkanyicy: touch: cannot touch `/forcefsck': Read-only file system
[16:44] <sacarlson> ergoproxy: what irc client do you use?
[16:44] <mkanyicy> JeffJassky: there were errors encountered
[16:44] <gremmachook> sacarlson, He has XChat. :)
[16:44] <ergoproxy> sacarlson: xchat, looks to support http and socks5
[16:45] <mkanyicy> JeffJassky: try this: 'sudo mount / -o rw,remount' and then do that again 'sudo touch /forcefsck' and then 'sudo reboot'
[16:45] <eyceberg> hey
[16:45] <ergoproxy> gremmachook must be following me around ;)
[16:45] <eyceberg> can anyone see my txt?
[16:45] <gremmachook> ergoproxy, No, just met you here.
[16:45] <mkanyicy> JeffJassky: reboot if you have managed to touch /forcefsck
[16:45] <gpc> eyceberg: yes
[16:46] <JeffJassky> mkanyicy: woked... rebooting
[16:46] <eyceberg> ty , its greyed out , sorry i thought it was not registered . etc
[16:46] <HelgeSverre> Has GunnDawg been talking today? or is he afk
[16:46] <gremmachook> ergoproxy, I sent you a CTCP request. :D
[16:46] <mkanyicy> JeffJassky: try to reboot
[16:46] <sacarlson> ergoproxy: take a look at this http://forum.xchat.org/viewtopic.php?t=4054
[16:46] <eyceberg> ok, so i been having issues trying to reinstall the grub bootloader
[16:46] <mkanyicy> eyceberg: what text?
[16:46] <JeffJassky> mkanyicy: "The system is going down for reboot NOW!".. connection closed.
[16:46] <mario__> ciaoo
[16:46] <mkanyicy> JeffJassky: byee
[16:46] <ergoproxy> gremmachook you win lol
[16:46] <JeffJassky> haha
[16:46] <gpc> eyceberg: you are using xchat, you can change the colour of your text in the settings
[16:47] <gremmachook> ergoproxy, Hahaha.
[16:47] <sacarlson> ergoproxy: I would think you could just point your proxy at the ip of your vpn
[16:48] <ubuntu_> one single command for enabling all the repos? anyone?
[16:48] <JeffJassky> mkanyicy: no it's a remote server.. hosted by Rackspace. virtual machine.
[16:48] <azizLIGHTS> bye
[16:48] <aninomous> e
[16:48] <ergoproxy> sacarlson: i'll see if i can make that work, wasn't sure it was possible
[16:49] <Lantizia> Is there a list of known laptops/subnetbooks/umpc's that work fine with ubuntu?
[16:49] <eyceberg> i installed windows 7 after i installed an ext4 , now kubuntu does not boot anymore, should i either: do a clean format and install windows 7 and then partition the same drive for ubuntu then install ubuntu ? or use live cd to fix the boot grub?
[16:49] <sacarlson> ergoproxy: I'm sure it's posible I'm just not sure this is the method that works or not, never done it
[16:49] <BluesKaj> Dazzled, Dr_Willis , html5 is an interesting experiment , but I think I'll stick with flash for a while longer :)
[16:50] <Dazzled> BluesKaj: yeah, html5 and flash will coexist for quite some time
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> eyceberg: boot to liveCD and reinstate grub2
[16:50] <ergoproxy> sacarlson: i've tried using my vpn is other proxy capable software with no luck.  i've always had to use some sort of openvpn client to connect
[16:50] <gpc> Would adding multiple deb lines to sudo add-apt-repository enable each one?
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> eyceberg: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html
[16:51] <ElderDryas> Lantizia: is this waht you are looking for?  http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> gpc: I'd do them individually, you could try though, I can't see any badness happening
[16:51] <sacarlson> ergoproxy: openvpn is the only one that I've used and it works for me,  mostly used for browser and ssh trafic, never tried irc
[16:51] <gremmachook> ActionParsnip, Seems like APTonCD takes only those packages in the cache. I don't have all of them there.
[16:52] <gpc> ActionParsnip: I didn't think it would cause issues, was just wondering if it would work. Thanks.
[16:52] <gremmachook> ActionParsnip, Some get deleted periodically, I think.
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> gremmachook: true but if you do a full upgrade you will get a lot of debs there, or you can just tell apt-get to only download the deb
[16:52] <Wulfy> hey ActionParsnip  saw you talking about mail cleints before i think, any recommndastions for something close to outlooks multi function abaility and looks nice
[16:52] <Lantizia> ElderDryas, perhaps - know if there are any UMPC's in there?
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> gremmachook: they are only deleted if you run: sudo apt-get clean
[16:53] <gremmachook> ActionParsnip, What full upgrade?
[16:53] <ergoproxy> sacarlson: i have no issue getting up on the vpn and getting irc running, just want irc traffic to cut off when i drop.  I'll try setting up the proxy configuration in xchat to point towards my vpn and see if it takes.  thanks for the help
[16:53] <JeffJassky> mkanyicy: i connected again, tried to start apache and got the same error
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> gremmachook: after an install it's usual to run a full upgrade
[16:53] <ElderDryas> Lantizia: don't know...look and see
[16:53] <gremmachook> ActionParsnip, I need the Internet for that right?
[16:54] <Wulfy> JeffJassky,  if your with rackspace and using there vps offerings i bet your paying a prity penny for it, drop them a ticket im sure they can sort it (unless your really after fixing it yourself)
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> gremmachook: initailly yes
[16:54] <gremmachook> ActionParsnip, Is there a way I can see all the packages I installed using apt-get?
[16:54] <gremmachook> ActionParsnip, That way I'll have a list atleast.
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> gremmachook: or if yo grab the daily alternate ISO you can upgrade using that
[16:54] <nit-wit> gremmachook, in the logs
[16:54] <gremmachook> nit-wit, Which folder?
[16:55] <JeffJassky> Wulfy: I'm using their 'cloud servers' which is only about $20/mo. I called them and they basically said they can't help with software support.
[16:55] <Wulfy> JeffJassky,  if the filesystem is in r/o mode then its hardware
[16:55] <mkanyicy_> JeffJassky: i am not familiar with rackspace, maybe try Wulfy 's suggestion.
[16:55] <JeffJassky> hmm okay.. i guess i'll try calling them abck
[16:56] <JeffJassky> thanks for the suggestions, guys. i appreciate the help.
[16:56] <sacarlson> gremmachook: this also works  dpkg --get-selections > installed_file_list.txt
[16:56] <Wulfy> JeffJassky,  as its a cloud filesystem it really is there problem if it needs a fsk
[16:56] <linxeh> is there any decent schematic capture and pcb layout software in the repos ?
[16:57] <nexeh> linxeh: have you taken a look... your a better expert than us most likely
[16:57] <gremmachook> sacarlson, Thanks man!
[16:57] <Odaym> hey llutz
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> !info pcb
[16:57] <Jon--> Simple bash scripting issue, can someone take a look? http://pastebin.com/pChJ4SYh
[16:58] <sacarlson> gremmachook: with that list you can also dpkg --set-selections < installed-file_list.txt ; deselect  to restore the installed apps you had
[16:58] <gremmachook> sacarlson, So I can get them back on my fresh install with that command and the Internet?
[16:58] <sacarlson> gremmachook: yes
[16:59] <gremmachook> sacarlson, Thanks man! You're the best!
[17:01] <mkanyicy_> Jon--: what is your problem with it?
[17:01] <nexeh> jon--: what problem are you having?
[17:01] <Nick25> I'm trying to install flashplayer on the AMD64 version of Ubuntu 10.10, can anyone help?
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> Nick25: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/install-64bit-flash-from-a-ppa-or-deb/
[17:02] <Jon--> The issue was I have to do $ (command) to store the results of a command into a var.
[17:02] <mkanyicy_> !tab > mkanyicy_
[17:02] <Jon--> #bash helped me
[17:02] <Jon--> Thanks anyway.
[17:02] <mkanyicy_> Jon--: no prob
[17:02] <samiABC> Nick25, Where are you stuck with it?
[17:02] <Nick25> I can only download the i386 version.
[17:03] <gremmachook> !tab > gremmachook
[17:03] <Nick25> And on the zipped file, installing it manually hasn't worked.
[17:03] <gremmachook> Nice, polite bot!
[17:03] <alpha7> anyone know if i can lower down my internet speed download?
[17:04] <BluesKaj> alpha7 , torrent DL or ?
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> Nick25: the link I gave will allow you to install ith a repo
[17:04] <alpha7> BluesKaj mmm in internet
[17:04] <LinuxManDan> I am getting this error on updates.  Should I ignore it? Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ilap/lwp/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found
[17:05] <eyceberg> ok i will try that , thank you action.
[17:05] <Nick25> ActionParsnip: I don't exactly understand how to do it, just download the .deb?
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> alpha7: you can use trickle
[17:05] <sacarlson> alpha7: gwget has the option to adjust download speed and it will integrate into firefox
[17:05] <linxeh> nexeh: how do you mean?
[17:05] <samiABC> Nick25, you can just use the commands that are in the big quote
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> Nick25: if you want but if the repo gets updated you won't get the new update
[17:05] <Nick25> ActionParsnip: The .deb download is i386 only.
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> Nick25: the HUGE text is a command for terminal
[17:05] <samiABC> Nick25, First: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash
[17:05] <BluesKaj> alpha7, yes , with what means are you downloading , with a torrent client . IM , browser ?
[17:06] <linxeh> nexeh: the last schematic capture software I used was orcad, and cadstar for pcb layout. This was on DOS in the early 1990s. I'm way out of touch with anything thats available now, hence asking
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> Nick25: so you think is the 32bit plugin....?
[17:06] <samiABC> Nick25, Second: sudo apt-get update
[17:06] <samiABC> nick25, third: sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer
[17:06] <samiABC> That should handle it
[17:06] <alpha7> BluesKaj with plowdown
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> samiABC: thanks
[17:06] <HelgeSverre> Windows or Linux? (watch the war begin)
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> HelgeSverre: this is support only
[17:07] <HelgeSverre> oh
[17:07] <LinuxManDan> Depends on what ya need to do HelgeSverre
[17:07] <HelgeSverre> is there a casual ubuntu channel?
[17:07] <alpha7> ActionParsnip how to use trickle?
[17:07] <linxeh> HelgeSverre: #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:07] <HelgeSverre> ty
[17:07] <BluesKaj> alpha7, I'm not familiar
[17:07] <LinuxManDan> Should I ignore the message I get on updates?
[17:08] <rsh> hello everybdy, whts good ide for python and gtk???
[17:08] <LinuxManDan> Says been 8 days since last package information was updated.
[17:08] <Nick25> samiABC: I appreciate the upfront guidelines.
[17:08] <nexeh> linxeh: that cool. my comment came from the the perspective that you were looking for a linux alternative to an existing windows product. but my suggestion would still stand.. start browsing the software cetner and tring them.. keep in mind that UIbuntu will only offer truely free and open source software. if you cant find it in there then start searching the net for packages taht ubuntu doesnt offer but are still available
[17:09] <Nick25> samiABC: Seems to be downloading it all now, though I entered the commands before all of them were finished.
[17:09] <linxeh> nexeh: I've been using linux as my primary desktop for about 15 years - I know what ubuntu offers. I have no idea what the current commercial tools either :)
[17:09] <linxeh> nexeh: but yes, I've been looking. geda seems to look ok - assuming there are libraries of components for it
[17:09] <Starlight> I have trouble installing TS3 server.. I don't know how to make a new file called init.d
[17:09] <Starlight> If you take a look into the /opt/ts3 directory you’ll see that there is a already a start/stop script (ts3server_startscript.sh), we will utilize it. Create a init.d file with pasting the content after executing cat > /etc/init.d/teamspeak :
[17:09] <LinuxManDan> Noone has any comments?
[17:10] <nexeh> linxeh: nice.. so you are no noob then ;) currious what your going to tinker with... now im thinking about exploring the repos for something to play with haha
[17:10] <linxeh> nexeh: I'm thinking of building a valve preamp to use with my keyboards
[17:10] <rsh> help rsh !!!  whts good ide for python and gtk???
[17:10] <samiABC> Nick25, Yep, just check if it is working after it has finished, if not, just do the above commands again and wait for them to finish :P
[17:11] <LinuxManDan> I will try back later and ask again.
[17:11] <Lint1> LinuxManDan, it doesn't matter unless you're getting dependancy errors trying to upgrade
[17:11] <LinuxManDan> Okay.
[17:11] <linxeh> rsh: pydev?
[17:11] <Nick25> samiABC: It works, just have to remember to restart the browser.
[17:11] <Nick25> Thanks.
[17:11] <Starlight> I can't even change text-files in Ubuntu?
[17:11] <BluesKaj> HelgeSverre, trying to get a "bash windows" greek chorus isn't going to work ..ppl come in an try that here everyday ..it's old hat so to speak
[17:11] <nexeh> linxeh: nice, im a guitar guy myself but can appreciate :P
[17:11] <abstrakt> starcoder, sure you can
[17:11] <abstrakt> Starlight, sure you can ^
[17:11] <Starlight> How?
[17:11] <rsh> no only from ubuntu repo..
[17:11] <Starlight> lol
[17:12] <abstrakt> Starlight, um, by editing them... ever heard of this thing called a text editor?
[17:12] <HelgeSverre> BlueSkaj well was worth the try ;)
[17:12] <Lint1> rsh, everything but anjuta
[17:12] <abstrakt> Starlight, which file do you need to change?
[17:12] <Starlight> Yes I opened the files in a text editor, and when I type stuff or change the text, it's locked..
[17:12] <abstrakt> Starlight, right... which file do you need to change?
[17:12] <Lint1> Starlight, gksudo gedit <file>
[17:12] <linxeh> nexeh: its really for use on hammond organ simulators and rhodes etc. I've got a box of about 400 valves in my loft (12a*7, ECC83 etc, and some power amp ones, mainly ex-military spec from 50's)
[17:13] <rsh> Lint1, something small , i m new to python ,but know c/cpp , java
[17:13] <Starlight> I wanna make a new file.. I'm following this guide: http://robert.penz.name/296/howto-install-teamspeak-3-server-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid/
[17:13] <sacarlson> Starlight: you might need to use sudo to edit your file,  gksudo gedit  for example
[17:13] <Lint1> rsh, you may use gedit with make plugin or geany
[17:14] <rsh> Lint1, thanx thats better.
[17:14] <sacarlson> Starlight: gedit can also create new files
[17:14] <nexeh> linxeh: so where do you get them printed after?
[17:14] <BluesKaj> HelgeSverre, if you have a specific ubuntu question , then just ask :)
[17:14] <Starlight> Ok
[17:14] <abstrakt> Starlight, and which file are you editing?
[17:14] <Lint1> will ubuntu migrate to gnome3?
[17:14] <HelgeSverre> BluesKaj, i have one. why is linux used so much for servers?
[17:15] <Starlight> I tried edititng ts3server_startscript.sh
[17:15] <cenag> because you dont need periprals
[17:15] <Lint1> because it's free as certain metabolism product
[17:15] <BiPolah> Helgesverre: It's typically more stable and open-ended so is suitable for server use where high uptime is required. It's also free.
[17:15] <cenag> you just need a cpu + hss and network card
[17:15] <BluesKaj> HelgeSverre, they are free or cheap and very efficient
[17:16] <ElderDryas> Starlight: you DO understand permissions, right?
[17:16] <HelgeSverre> thanks :)
[17:16] <Starlight> I'm completely new with Linux..
[17:16] <maco> Lint1: not in 11.04.  gnome 2 and gnome 3 would difficult-to-impossible to make coexist
[17:17] <Starlight> I'm in root now, and dunno how to get back even, if thats needed..
[17:17] <BluesKaj> HelgeSverre, as well linux is based on the very mature unix OS , which has been around much longer then other OSs so thereby much more bug free.
[17:17] <ElderDryas> Starlight: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/309527-understanding-linux-file-permissions
[17:18] <cenag> *nix is the very fabric of the internet
[17:18] <HelgeSverre> can anyone explain "Cloud Computing" for me.
[17:18] <Pici> !ot
[17:19] <HelgeSverre> Pici, was that for me?
[17:19] <BluesKaj> HelgeSverre, google is your friend too, for such questions
[17:19] <anvo> What is the diference between libsensors and acpi in lm-sensors properties dialog?
[17:19] <cenag> i must admit the concept is a bit fogy
[17:19] <Pici> HelgeSverre: Among others, yes.
[17:19] <Lint1> sad, gnome2 had no new features since 2006 :(
[17:19] <HelgeSverre> ok
[17:20] <cenag> i love ubuntu because you relly dont need to join ubuntu-social
[17:20] <BiPolah> What's the difference between /etc/passwd/ and /etc/passwd-, except that passwd is read-only, the only difference is that the line for my user starts with "andrew:x:1000:119" rather than "andrew:x:1000:0"
[17:22] <eyceberg> hey, that worked thank you
[17:22] <eyceberg> one last thing. how do i make a menu to choose windows or to boot into kubuntu?
[17:23] <Wulfy> oh dear browsing to a website and it hijacks the site and pops this virus warning up saying my windows security is compromised and 4 infections detected..... odd could have sworn im using ubuntu lol
[17:23] <mkanyicy_> !who | eyceberg
[17:23] <Starlight> I get headache by trying to understand permissions.. .p
[17:24] <Lint1> Starlight, which os did you use earlier? DOS?
[17:24] <mkanyicy_> Starlight: man chmod
[17:24] <Starlight> I use XP :p
[17:25] <mkanyicy> Starlight: this is not XP support
[17:25] <eyceberg> !who | action
[17:25] <mkanyicy> Starlight: this is not XP support channel
[17:25] <Lint1> Starlight, ok, it's like XP permissions, but without inheritance
[17:25] <Starlight> Do I have to be root to change permissions and do I have to go back to my main user to change files or something? Not root?
[17:25] <Starlight> No no, I'm using Ubuntu now, but I have been using XP before..
[17:25] <Lint1> Starlight, you need to have write access to change permissions
[17:25] <alpha7> trickled is not working for me
[17:26] <alpha7> i did sudo trickled -d 200 and its not working
[17:26] <Starlight> And root have all permissions?
[17:26] <alpha7> yes
[17:26] <eyceberg> how do i get a dual boot prompt for choosing either kubuntu or Windows 7?
[17:27] <Lint1> Starlight, root is unaffected by permissions
[17:27] <Starlight> Cool!
[17:27] <BiPolah> Starlight: Root is the supreme user. It can do anything on the system. It's why your standard user account typically does not have root access because you can break stuff that way, but you can run things as root using sudo
[17:27] <ElderDryas> Starlight: but doing anything as root is dangerous unless you already know what you are doing
[17:27] <Lint1> eyceberg, try "sudo update-grub"
[17:28] <Starlight> I used sudo as explained here: http://robert.penz.name/296/howto-install-teamspeak-3-server-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid/
[17:28] <Starlight> I'm just following this guide to install a TS3 server..
[17:29] <Starlight> And I don't know hoow to make the new file I need..
[17:29] <elwoodpd> Hi so sound has broken for VLC, Gnome Mplayer etc.
[17:30] <elwoodpd> what can I do?
[17:30] <alpha7> guys anyone know how to use trickle
[17:30] <Starlight> Does this command make the new file? cat > /etc/init.d/teamspeak :
[17:30] <lolcat> Maan, apparently I made a hole in someones wall yesterday
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> elwoodpd: do you get sound anywhere?
[17:30] <Jon--> Starlight: Use touch
[17:30] <lolcat> wrong chan, sorry
[17:31] <bartek> Hi there. In what instance would SWAP be being used despite having nearly all my memory available for the OS?
[17:31] <elwoodpd> yeah flash, er Aqualung.
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> bartek: hi swappiness value
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> elwoodpd: ok thats a good thing
[17:31] <Jon--> Starlight: touch ~/test   if test exists, update latest reference date, if it does not exist, create an empty file ~/test
[17:31] <bartek> ActionParsnip: What do you mean?
[17:32] <philip_> I was wondering how can I run NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.18-pkg0.run as root?
[17:32] <brontoeee> what is the easy way to make a persisent cli alias in 10.10 ?
[17:32] <philip_> In terminal.
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> bartek: its a percentage which tells the OS how much to use swap. If you add:   vm.swappiness = 0    to /etc/sysctl.conf   and run:  sudo sysctl -p   it will not use swap unless it REALLY has to, the default is 60
[17:32] <BiPolah> What is Bonobo?
[17:32] <Starlight> I don't understand what tuch is.. Something to avoid overwriting important files?
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> philip_: you need to reboot to root recovery mode to run that, or you can use the packages in the repos
[17:32] <bartek> ActionParsnip: Interesting. So I'm using 200mb/2000mb of memory, and it will use SWAP despite not needingi t? Seems silly
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> !info bonobo | BiPolah
[17:33] <Abhijit> hey guys if i boot from live usb in laptop and connect that laptop using rj 45 to desktop can i install ubuntu in desktop? how?
[17:33] <philip_> ActionParsnip I was looking into the package manager, and it's not in there. I forgot how to boot into root recovery mode?
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> bartek: is a bit but you can rein it back
[17:33] <philip_> I had to download it.
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> philip_: hold shift at boot
[17:33] <BluesKaj> bonobo is for launchpad integration, BiPolah
[17:33] <brontoeee> Starlight, i would assume that 'touch /new/file' will make a 'file' in directory 'new' or touch it if there is some
[17:33] <Abhijit> ActionParsnip, Dr_Willis hey guys if i boot from live usb in laptop and connect that laptop using rj 45 to desktop can i install ubuntu in desktop? how?
[17:33] <BiPolah> BluesKaj: Okay thanks
[17:34] <walter_> hallo my name is walter i from south of germany

[17:34] <Abhijit> walter_, welcome to ubuntu support channel.
[17:34] <Abhijit> ActionParsnip, wait
[17:34] <sacarlson> Starlight: yes any editor is able to create a file

[17:34] <Abhijit> ActionParsnip, you ddnt understood my question
[17:35] <walter_> i have a problem i can not install my scanner under ubuntu 10.4

[17:35] <ActionParsnip> walter_: what make and model?
[17:35] <walter_> how can help me ?
[17:35] <Abhijit> ActionParsnip, see the desktop dont have cd drive , cant boot from usb, we have laptop but we cant install ubuntu in laptop so our chacne is boot laptop in live usb and from this live session i want to install that ubuntu in to that desktop? is it possible?
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> walter_: what make and model?

[17:37] <heimdall> hay alguien?
[17:37] <Abhijit> ActionParsnip, dunno but it has usb
[17:38] <heimdall> españa?
[17:38] <Abhijit> !es | heimdall
[17:38] <gpc> !es | heimdall
[17:38] <sacarlson> Starlight: you should read about file permissions and sudo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
[17:38] <Abhijit> :/
[17:38] <walter_> hallo ich kann unter ubuntu 10.4 meinen scanner epson v10 nicht installieren .wie geht das ?
[17:38] <Abhijit> ActionParsnip, hey desktop has floppy drive!!!!
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> Abhijit: if it has a floppy drive there is a floppy image on pendrivelinux which you can boot to to make USB sticks boot (great if you have an old system which cannot boot usb)
[17:38] <Abhijit> the target machine has the floppy drive!!!
[17:38] <BiPolah> !de | walter_
[17:38] <Abhijit> ok will try that
[17:38] <Starlight> Ok! I can make a new file now, but where do I save it? According to this tutorial? http://robert.penz.name/296/howto-install-teamspeak-3-server-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid/
[17:39] <walter_> its ok but i can also talk in inglish thanks
[17:40] <BiPolah> Walter_: If you want, I figured it'd be easier in German
[17:41] <Starlight> Are there Norwegian channels?
[17:41] <Pici> !no | Starlight
[17:41] <Starlight> Cool!
[17:42] <owa> /whois $me
[17:42] <BiPolah> Starlight: There's channels for most languages I believe.
[17:42] <ElderDryas> walter_: if I understood correctly, you are having problems with an epson scanner?
[17:43] <gpc> Starlight: if you meant the file with the #! /bin/sh you copied and pasted it goes here /etc/init.d/teamspeak
[17:43] <BiPolah> ElderDryas: I think that's it. Can't install it on 10.04
[17:43] <adeee> hello any programmer help me?
[17:43] <BiPolah> !ask | adeee
[17:43] <Starlight> I havent pasted it yet.. Waiting for greater understanding..
[17:44] <Starlight> Does the command "cat > /etc/init.d/teamspeak" make the file?
[17:44] <gpc> Starlight: ok you create the file by issuing the command cat > /etc/init.d/teamspeak then highlight the text and copy it, use ctrl-d to paste into the file
[17:45] <Yerushalmi> Can someone help me? Nautilus won't open for me and System Monitor gives me this weird error message: Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h: 640: elf_machine_rel_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xff) == 8' failed!
[17:45] <Starlight> Thank you!
[17:45] <schnuffle> Starlight: the default command would be touch filename
[17:45] <ElderDryas> BiPolah: looks like he left
[17:46] <adeee> i just install PHP apache and mysql mannually and then install Easy hosting control pannel (ehcp). then there is a new user in my logon screen apear. so i cant access it. user name 'VMail' and i didnt creat it. what just happen to my ubuntu10.04 ?
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> Yerushalmi:  i would boot a live cd. and do a memtest and fsck the filesystmes. it almost sounds like some core libs are currupted.
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> Yerushalmi:  or some ram is bad.
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> Starlight: that will need sudo, also sudo doesn't transcend the > operator
[17:46] <Yerushalmi> Dr_Willis: I tried doing an fsck.... I did a memtest a while back but I guess I can do another one now.
[17:46] <BiPolah> ElderDryas: Probably to #ubuntu-de
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: what release re you using?
[17:47] <Starlight> transcend?
[17:47] <birdybee> hi, i can't connect to ubuntu one on either of my maverick machines. ubunto one preferences just says unknown. it was working a week or so earlier. just noticed it wasn't syncing
[17:47] <Yerushalmi> Dr_Willis: fsck came back with no errors, but just a little too quick for my taste to be honest...
[17:47] <adeee> programmers read my last massage and help me?
[17:47] <uRock> adeee, what do you mean by manually? Did you download from 3rd party site?
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> adeee:  sounds like some service installed a user to run itself as.
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> Starlight: go over, only the stuff to the left of > will get sudo, thats why when you want to add text to a file you use a pipe to sudo tee
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> adeee:  and gdm was not set to hide that user.
[17:47] <MrJones89> join #ftpwarez
[17:47] <BiPolah> Adeee: You can change the password of that user to access it if you want, you might want to find out the old one first to set it back. I'd assume it's part of the EHCP  mail service
[17:48] <adeee> uRock not i install mysql first. and then apache and then PHp
[17:48] <Starlight> I didn't understand that.. :(
[17:48] <adeee> Dr Wills am not following you?
[17:48] <Starlight> And if I make that file, I cannot edit it, is that it?
[17:48] <MrJones89> hey
[17:48] <adeee> Bio polah how can i change the password
[17:49] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: I'm running 10.10, kernel 2.6.32-27. I'm one kernel back because originally that solved my nautilus problem, but the problem came back now.
[17:49] <Dr_Willis> adeee:  some services install a special user for that service.   gdm normally hides those.
[17:49] <enzo_> the log off/reboot/shut down drop down menu at the top right has disappeared
[17:50] <robot7p> Bluefish 2.0.2! ^^,
[17:50] <adeee> so what i need to do DR Wills?

[18:03] <Springscar> hi
[18:03] <Duppy> Hello
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> hai
[18:03] <rokyronnie> Hi there
[18:03] <Duppy> I have a little problem
[18:03] <Wulfy> you know ts3 is really easy to setup create a user place the files in the users home folder open a termenal switch to that user and run the startup command
[18:03] <bodai> hi there.would like to use a static server name.before used dynamic dns.is it a daemon or how may I do that?thank you so much
[18:03] <rokyronnie> I've a question.Is there a way to have Global Hotkeys in Songbird?
[18:04] <mrjones_> Can i get help with a networking issue?
[18:04] <Dr_Willis> rokyronnie:  if its written right. the default media player keys should work. but other then that.. you might have to do some work with it.
[18:04] <Wulfy> any hints on how to get logitech media keys working (such as play stop fast forward etc)
[18:04] <Dr_Willis> rokyronnie:  songbird has also dropped its linux support i recall.
[18:04] <mrjones_> I cant seem to get ubuntu to see the windows 7 computers on the home network. nor the windows 7  computers seeing the ubuntu computer
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> mrjones_:  can they ping each other?
[18:05] <Duppy> I have a vmware image with ubuntu which i have forgot the password to, How would i go to retriece/change the password?

[18:07] <Dr_Willis> Duppy:  set vmware to use the image, make it boot a live cd iso.. chroot in, change password
[18:07] <BluesKaj> mrjones_, did you see ActionParsnip post above ? http://thelinuxexperiment.com/linux/accessing-windows-7-shares-from-ubuntu-is-a-pain/

[18:08] <Dr_Willis> mrjones_:  err  this is 'irc' - mIRC is one of many irc clients
[18:08] <tvw> I just upgraded to 10.04.1 and after logging in, all windows do only consists of the inner part, which is handled by the application. No frames and now window bar.
[18:09] <mrjones_> BluesKaj: so that should work right?
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> Duppy:  sounds like you need tolearn some linux basics first
[18:09] <rokyronnie> Dr_Willis,  then, can you recommend me another Music Player which could Work with Panflute  and which could have good settings for global hotkeys ? ( without Amarok, cause it works very hard on my PC, and I don't like it cause every time I start it, it took so long to scan for files )
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> !mount | Duppy
[18:09] <induz> is there any application like Cydia on Lucid?? i want to get access to my iPod touch 1st gen
[18:09] <Starlight> Do I need to be in the TS3 directory to use this command? cat > /etc/init.d/teamspeak
[18:09] <Duppy> Yeah
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> rokyronnie:  not really. i rarely liosten to music. and when i do. i just let it play.
[18:09] <mrjones_> Dr_Willis: yeah thats what I meant. Its been a couple years since ive been on here.
[18:09] <mrjones_> BluesKaj: so following that article, I should be able to get it working?
[18:09] <BluesKaj> mrjones_, there are no gurantees , you have to try the tutorial to find out
[18:10] <Duppy> Dr_Willis, I have already booted a live cd in the vm
[18:10] <Sterist> does anyone know if Charles Web Debugging Proxy is available under any repository?
[18:10] <mrjones_> !tab ok
[18:10] <Duppy> fdisk -l doesn't output anything :/
[18:10] <g_0_0> Duppy, you need to use sudo - sudo fdisk -l
[18:10] <BluesKaj> mrjones_, we also asked if you have W7 on a partition on theat pc or is it a separate pc on your network ?
[18:11] <Duppy> g_0_0, I'll try that
[18:11] <jamesw_> Hello people, Im new to Ubuntu and Im having trouble with Filezilla: it's running very very slow. Im transfering files over a 1Gbps local network and filezilla only manages to downlaod at 30-35KB/s ! Even the filezilla window seems to be unresponsive, taking 2-3 seconds to display when I switch to it. Any ideas? What can I try? Im runnign 10.10 installed on the hard drive.
[18:11] <Duppy> g_0_0, It didn't output anything under root either
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> jamesw_: nautilus can talk to sftp and ftp servers
[18:11] <mrjones_> blueskaj: W7 64bit, is a seperate laptop. and Im running ubuntu on a different laptop. but they are all connected wirelessly to the same router
[18:11] <lazarus_> sup
[18:12] <BluesKaj> ok then mrjones_ try the tutorial
[18:12] <mrjones_> blueskaj: will do
[18:12] <induz> something like cydia
[18:13] <Duppy> I think i need a step to step tutorial
[18:13] <g_0_0> Duppy, sudo fdisk -l didn't output anything ? What are you running? how did you boot?
[18:13] <Sideways> Ubuntu 10.10. somehow, I lost my USB and NIC. Well, i can see the NIC, but it wont take a DHCP address, when assigned, it simply does nothing. Any ideas?
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> jamesw_: try nautilus, if its fine then its filezilla being slow (plus its a 3Mb installed app which is pretty ridiculous if you ask me)
[18:13] <induz> I tried lots of s/w to save my pics on iPod touch but still have not been successful
[18:13] <Duppy> g_0_0, The live cd is slitaz 3.0
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> Sideways: what network chip does it use?
[18:14] <Duppy> I used su and then typed it..
[18:14] <rcmaehl> Help! Running Ubuntu 10.10 System does not power off after shutdown/suspend/hibernate/suspend-hybrid. How do I fix this?
[18:14] <jamesw_> ActionParsnip, thanks, I tried the "connect to server" function and it did work for a few files/folders until it freezed and I had to restart to fix it. Im going to try it again anyway.
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> jamesw_: try gftp as well, its nice and light
[18:15] <viktor133> how do you remove a directory?
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> viktor133: rm -r folder
[18:15] <BiPolah> viktor133: rm -r <directory>
[18:15] <BiPolah> Viktor133: Without the -r it just removes the contents of the directory I believe.
[18:16] <viktor133> alright, thnks
[18:16] <g_0_0> Duppy, I don't know slitaz, what are you trying to do? are you installing slitaz? or do you need ubuntu help?
[18:16] <Sideways> I think its Intel
[18:16] <Duppy> g_0_0, I'm trying to recover a password that i have on the ubuntu install in the VM imagwe
[18:16] <Duppy> image
[18:16] <Sideways> I know it is actually
[18:17] <Guest57488> how to configure avermedia dvb tunercard in ubuntu?
[18:17] <PrototypeX29A> hey, why does apt-cache find 'z80asm' when i search for 'gameboy'. The manpage doesn't contain any thing regarding gameboys, and the assembler is not compatible with the Gameboy CPU
[18:18] <BiPolah> Duppy: Perhaps you could access recovery mode and try passwd to reset it?
 try to mount the vm image and change the pass in /etc/shadow
[18:18] <BiPolah> MoKhSu: The password is encrypted.
[18:18] <Dr_Willis> PrototypeX29A:  the original gameboy used a z80 processor i belive.
[18:18] <Duppy> MoKhSu, How would i get access to /etc/paswd ?
[18:18] <Dr_Willis> PrototypeX29A:  or one related to it.
[18:18] <Duppy> /etc/shadow *
[18:19] <BiPolah> Duppy: sudo gedit /etc/shadow, or other text editor of your choice
[18:19] <bc81> PrototypeX29A: "The Z80 microprocessor is used in old home computers, such as the ZX spectrum and MSX, and in several newer devices, such as the TI-83 graphical calculator and (a stripped down version) in the (original) GameBoy.
[18:19] <Pici> PrototypeX29A: Because the package description mentions 'gameboy'.  See apt-cache show z80asm
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> CPU: 8-bit Z80 CMOS (4.19MHz)
[18:19] <Yerushalmi> Dr_Willis: Memtest completed, passed all tests... fsck I ran last night ended up with no errors too... what do you suggest I do?
[18:19] <Duppy> I don't have access to any terminal.....
[18:19] <User> any idea where i can get some help with fdisk?
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> Duppy: boot to root recovery mode and run:  passwd foo    replace foo with your username
[18:19] <Duppy> I just get the kogin screen
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> Yerushalmi:  work with a live cd, and see if it crashes
[18:19] <jamesw_> ActionParsnip, the "conect to server option" in Nautilus didnt work. I did set the connection and I could see the remote files. I then did right-click-copy and right-click-paste on a local folder, it only managed to copy 18MB before freezing. Now I have a "FileOperations" popup that doesnt move. (Im going to install gftp now... but it's not looking good).
[18:19] <MoKhSu> i know but i mean if you have another system  and you know the pass just copy and past it in shadow
[18:19] <g_0_0> Duppy,  hold shift at boot
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> Duppy: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root
[18:20] <Captwest> How do i check if its 32 or 64 bit HW?
[18:20] <Yerushalmi> Dr_Willis: See if what crashes?
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> Yerushalmi:  the system.
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> Captwest: uname -m
[18:20] <Sideways> thanks.
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> Captwest: x86_64 == 64bit   i686 == 32bit
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> Yerushalmi:  if a live cd also crashes with similer issues.. that would point to a hardware type issue.
[18:21] <Yerushalmi> Dr_Willis: I haven't had any system crash problems. I just can't open nautilus or system monitor.
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> Captwest: you can see what the cpu is with: cat /proc/cpuinfo    then search the web for what the cpu is
[18:21] <ElderDryas> man uname
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> Yerushalmi:  and thoze shouldent be crashing either.. see if they crash friom a live cd.
[18:21] <ElderDryas> opps
[18:21] <Captwest> aint uname -u telling you what type of os it is?
[18:22] <Duppy> g_0_0, Okay :)
[18:22] <Sterist> anyone know if Wine can handle 64bit installations or is that dependent on the ubuntu installation
[18:22] <Yerushalmi> Dr_Willis: Loaded up from a separate installation on another disk drive... both of them work fine.
[18:22] <PrototypeX29A> Pici: well the description is wrong, and iritating
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> Yerushalmi:  sounds like your one install is some how currupted.  or the HD is having issues.
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> Captwest: uname -m is the arch of the OS
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> Sterist: i'd ask in #winehq
[18:24] <rcmaehl> My system does not halt, what is the solution?
[18:24] <Yerushalmi> Dr_Willis: Could be. My main installation is off a 16GB SD card
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> rcmaehl: how are you halting the OS?
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> rcmaehl: what happens when you try?

[18:26] <moes> Can a linux file be deleted from a windows partition...when I try to delete it gives error input/output
[18:26] <shubbar> can i force eth0 to run in gigabit speed?
[18:27] <BluesKaj> rcmaehl, open a terminal , sudo halt
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> moes:  clarify what you mean.. 'a linux file' ? what file?
[18:27] <rcmaehl> BluesKaj: didn't work
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> shubbar:  try the ethtool command perahps. the thing should auto-negoiate the speeds.
[18:27] <BiPolah> Shubbar: Your router/switch would have to support gigabit. My eth0 runs gigabit because my ethernet controller and switch both support it
[18:27] <bc81> PrototypeX29A: perhaps filea bug @ launchpad?  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/z80asm
[18:28] <moes> Dr_Willis, The file is flpsave.2fs and I can see it by mounting sda1 which is my windows partition
[18:28] <Sideways> I verified that my NIC drivers are flipping out by running a live ubuntu install. how would one go about resetting the drivers to their original state w/o having to reinstall
[18:29] <shubbar> BiPolah, gigabit at both end and a 16m of cat5e ... what am i missing
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> moes:  you mean you are deleting a file ON a windows drive, from within linux?
[18:29] <moes> Dr_Willis, Yes that is what I am trying to do
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> moes:  check the outout of the 'dmesg' command (at the end) its possible there are some issues with the hard drive
[18:29] <erUSUL> shubbar: 16m may be too much ?
[18:29] <BluesKaj> rcmaehl, ctrl+alt+f1 , sudo service gdm stop , then sudo halt
[18:30] <share1> I can't into kubuntu channel
[18:30] <shubbar> erUSUL, it should be good to 89m (295 ft) as i know
[18:30] <BluesKaj> share1, /join #kubuntu
[18:31] <Sideways> The USB drivers have also gone out, which blacklist would you check to find out whats jup?
[18:31] <shubbar> may be 16m is a bad length and i m getting radio interference
[18:32] <share1> BlueKaj,3ks
[18:32] <Sideways> there are about 22 blacklist files
[18:32] <Captwest> What is the official way to add cronjobs?
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Captwest: there is no official way
[18:34] <Dr_Willis> !cron
[18:35] <sss> How do I install Adobe Shockwave Player in Ubutnu 10.10?
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Captwest: you can use: export EDITOR=nano; crontab -e      to use cron as user in command line, or you can install gnome-schedule and use gui. If you want to cron as root, prefix crontab with sudo or run gnome-schedule prefixed with gksudo
[18:35] <ElderDryas> Captwest: "crontab -e "is used to edit the  current  crontab
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> sss: you can't it's windows only

[18:54] <Burlitsa> system->admin->nvidia
[18:55] <amithiel> i don't have nvidia installed. i just want to know if the card is ON or off
[18:55] <fkefer> ActionParsnip: thank you! i'll try that
[18:55] <Blue1> amithiel: this will tell you what driver is being used:  grep -i glx /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:56] <lkp> Blue1, wouldn't that just tell you if u r using the glx module?
[18:56] <amithiel> i did this command, whick is proper for my system: echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0._OFF' > /proc/acpi/call  , so now i as curious if it indeed worked, since it didn't gave me any output
[18:56] <Blue1> lkp: yes but it also lists what driver is being used.
[18:57] <Blue1> lkp:  [894258.940] (II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"

[19:01] <pagore> Hi all!, I Googled a lot, but didnt found a solution,  How can I get the elder Flash Plugin (I need the version, which saved the flv-Movies into /tmp)
[19:02] <y7> hey guys, i was interested in installing ubuntu desktop on my computer and when i go to dl it, it recommends 32bit for me. is there any reason to get 32bit instead of 64bit?
[19:02] <Smegma> Yes, if you have a 32-bit only CPU.
[19:02] <y7> my cpu and mobo are capable of 64bit
[19:03] <y7> so with that now being known, is there any other reason to get 32bit instead of 64bit?
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> Bushman: what version of virtualbox?
[19:03] <Smegma> Are you absolutely sure? It should recommend the most appropriate version - can you post your CPU?
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> y7: some manufacturers only suport 32bit, 32bit is still a slightly smoother ride than 64bit. If you have a tonne of RAM then grab 64bit
[19:04] <y7> i have 4GB of ram, is that classified as a ton?
[19:04] <lkp> y7: no
[19:04] <jrib> y7: get 64bit
[19:04] <lkp> y7: only use 64-bit if u have more than 4 gb
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> y7: i'd go 64bit if you have a 64bit CPU then
[19:04] <Smegma> It is more than 32bit can support so I would argue that it is
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> y7: you can install 32bit with PAE and 32bit kernel will be able to access 64Gb RAM
[19:05] <lkp> Smegma: 32-bit can support up to 4gb
[19:05] <Smegma> I've only ever heard of 32bit apps supporting up to 3.5gb
[19:05] <GeekyAdam> whats up gaiz. still working on my triple monitor setup...to no avail.
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Smegma: pae can only give 3.5Gb per process but can use up to 64gb overall
[19:06] <lkp> Smegma: (from wikipedia) Hence, a processor with 32-bit memory addresses can directly access 4 GB of byte-addressable memory.
[19:06] <Smegma> Fairy muff, always good to learn new things
[19:07] <lkp> y7: a 32-bit app will use slightly more memory than a 64-bit app on a 64-bit os cuz its not optimized for the 64-bit os
[19:08] <y7> so 64bit only deals with ram... has nothing to do with cpu and whatnot?
[19:08] <Smegma> no
[19:08] <theamazingbeat> does anyone know how to reset a samba user passwd
[19:09] <sss> Afetr updating, in the GRUB menu there are two Ubuntu options with different linux version. How do I remove the older?
[19:09] <lkp> y7: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-Bit_Processor has everything u need to know about 64-bit, and a ton of stuff u dont
[19:09] <y7> thx
[19:09] <mkanyicy> !samba | theamazingbeat
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> y7: you can only run 32bit OS on 32bit CPU, you can run either on 64bit CPU
[19:10] <lkp> sss: that is the old linux kernel. u dont need to remove it unless ur tight on space
[19:10] <y7> ActionParsnip, i know that much. i've just had 64bit hardware forever now and i've been running 32bit xp.... was looking forward to upgrading to 64bit with ubuntu, but it looks like i'll be staying with 32bit :)
[19:11] <mkanyicy> sss: you can remove it using synaptic

[19:12] <GeekyAdam> anyone know how to use nvidia's twinview option across 3 monitors (2 video cards)?
[19:13] <y7> i plan on installing ubuntu and  winxp on the same hdd... if i install ubuntu first, should i make sure to leave some partition space available for windows xp or does it not work that way?
[19:13] <sss> For some reason my applets(?) on the right of my top panel swaped places
[19:13] <cannonfodder> y7
[19:13] <cannonfodder> no
[19:13] <cannonfodder> dont do it that wy
[19:13] <cannonfodder> you have to install xp first
[19:13] <cannonfodder> because windows boot loader wont detect ubuntu
[19:14] <amn3z1a> i overwrote win xp with ubuntu, so sick of trying to get their install right
[19:14] <cannonfodder> lol
[19:14] <BluesKaj> y7, always install windows first
[19:14] <cannonfodder> yes
[19:14] <amn3z1a> now im just looking for the best emulator for gaming
[19:14] <bc81> sss: this happens to me from time to time when changing resolutions, even whenthe applets are locked.  it must surely be a known bug
[19:15] <y7> ok, so if i install windows first, do i need to partition it to leave space for ubuntu?
[19:15] <krsna> how to set the formatter for manpages? I have set troff in /etc/manpath.config and done "man -C /etc/manpath.config COMMAND" but it does not work... I want to set troff as the formatter instead of groff
[19:15] <sss> bc81, I didn't do anything. Also sometimes there are white spaces between applets
[19:15] <cannonfodder> yes i think
[19:15] <bc81> amn3z1a: what system(s) are you to emulate?
[19:15] <cannonfodder> not too sure y7....i forgot how i did it
[19:15] <amn3z1a> windows for my games... im addicted to my windows games
[19:16] <cannonfodder> y7 nvm that thought....you dont
[19:16] <cannonfodder> you will partition it in the ubuntu installer
[19:16] <bc81> amn3z1a: and they applets locked in place?
[19:16] <y7> cannonfodder, so the ubuntu installer is capable of decreasing the size of windows partition to make room for itself?
[19:16] <amn3z1a> bc81, i dont even know yet, new to ubuntu and trying to wing it
[19:17] <cannonfodder> yes if i can recall, you can do it from the live disc i think
[19:17] <y7> roger that, thanks for the help guys
[19:17] <bc81> amn3z1a: right-click them to lock it in place
[19:17] <cannonfodder> its been a while so im not too sure
[19:17] <cannonfodder> y7
[19:17] <BluesKaj> yz yes do the partitioning first with a gparted and set a /home partition for your linux data and a / for the linux OS and of course ntfs for the windows install, best to put the ntfs first on the partition tabble
[19:17] <sss> y7, Yes. Probably the LiveCD will automatically repartition your drive, but if not you nust use GParted
[19:17] <blue_pearl> i may b wrong but i cant seem to find /boot/grub/menu.lst on Ubuntu10.04
[19:18] <cannonfodder> if the live disc doesnt have gparted or a partition application on it...just apt-get install it
[19:18] <magicianlord> y7: yes
[19:18] <cannonfodder>  i think that works in a live disc
[19:18] <cannonfodder> then use that
[19:18] <magicianlord> the live disks have gparted
[19:18] <cannonfodder> ah ok cool
[19:18] <magicianlord> and disk-utility
[19:18] <magicianlord> but the installer will take care of repartitioning
[19:18] <amn3z1a> bc81, where do i find them?
[19:19] <BluesKaj> blue_pearl, there is no menu.lst file anymore
[19:19] <BluesKaj> !grub2
[19:19] <blue_pearl> BluesKaj,  say i want to add vga=791 but i cant find /boot/grub/menu.lst file in ubuntu10.04
[19:20] <Sideways> my nic worked at install,  now it wont take an ip. work fine using live cd,
[19:20] <Zol> What's the best practice way of backing up a remote server?
[19:20] <bc81> amn3z1a: each of the panel applets you can right-click and lock
[19:20] <BluesKaj> read thne post above about grub2 b, blue_pearl
[19:20] <Zol> Rather, I wish to backup, format server, update with new ubuntu version, and then apply some configs etc. from the old installation.
[19:21] <blue_pearl> BluesKaj, thanx
[19:21] <GeekyAdam> anyone know how to use nvidia's twinview option across 3 monitors (2 video cards)?
[19:21] <jrib> Zol: why don't you just upgrade ubuntu? (you should have backups anyway but only as a precaution)
[19:21] <Bushman> ActionParsnip: does it matter what version? the thing is not working in linux, not in windows.
[19:22] <magicianlord> what's the backup programs in linux
[19:22] <Bushman> it's a VMplayer
[19:22] <magicianlord> there is a simple one for gtk
[19:22] <soreau> GeekyAdam: You probably want to run to X sessions, though this means you will not be able to move windows between two of the monitors and the third
[19:22] <soreau> GeekyAdam: two X sessions*
[19:22] <Sideways> Im running 10.10, anyone have any ideas which file got messed uP?
[19:22] <PicCard> Bushman, vmplayer works
[19:22] <Bushman> ActionParsnip: if you really need to know it's a VMplayer 3.1.2
[19:22] <GeekyAdam> soreau: thats exactly what i want to avoid. i have three monitors, and i want to move windows between all of them WITHOUT using xinerama.
[19:23] <GeekyAdam> soreau: but i thank you for the help
[19:23] <Bushman> PicCard: yea, can see that
[19:23] <mkanyicy> magicianlord: deja-dup
[19:23] <GeekyAdam> anyone else?
[19:23] <pagore> Hi all, dows someone know, how to recover the older adobe flash plugin? (I dont like the latest update)
[19:23] <Sideways> if i  knew which file controls the usb and NIC, i could just replace the file...
[19:23] <Bushman> but that's not the point of the problem here
[19:23] <PicCard> Bushman, what is problem?
[19:23] <jrib> !backup | magicianlord
[19:24] <amn3z1a> bc81, mind a pm if you have time?
[19:24] <soreau> GeekyAdam: Then you can use xinerama but it will disable compositing so compiz and such wont work
[19:24] <Bushman> PicCard:
[19:24] <Bushman> the bug itself is quite visible as is without actualy looking for it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1668076
[19:24] <Bushman> i've checked my mouse on other BT dongle device (the BT chip is of the same manufacturer, different model). it works flawlesly. then again i've checked the faulty BT dongle in virtualised windows XP on the same machine and it works flawlesly too. same USB port, same mouse, same dongle, diferent driver. it must be something in USB or bluetooth driver of linux. would be nice if someone would help me find the reason of the bug.
[19:24] <GeekyAdam> soreau: yeah, which is why i want to avoid using xinerama
[19:24] <soreau> GeekyAdam: The other solution is xgl, but you'd have to use a really old version of ubuntu
[19:24] <Bushman> sorry for reverse order
[19:25] <Sideways> UDB and NIC only work proper on live install.
[19:25] <Sideways> I think its a blacklist problem, anyone think thats possible??
[19:25] <GeekyAdam> soreau: i remember xgl a little bit... does that work nicely with trip monitors? how old of ubuntu? what version?
[19:25] <soreau> GeekyAdam: Look on youtube, google for xgl beryl three monitors or whatever
[19:26] <iroquois> every so often when i open ubuntu there's a black screen and i have to do a hard shutdown (push and hold the power button),then it opens properly.Anyone now why it does this and is there a fix?
[19:26] <GeekyAdam> soreau: i know what xgl looks like, are you saying it works with xinerama, whereas compiz does not?
[19:26] <amn3z1a> bc81, are they in pkg mgr? or where do i find them?
[19:26] <soreau> GeekyAdam: The last version of ubuntu that shipped xgl was hardy
[19:27] <soreau> GeekyAdam: Xgl is an X server architecture, started by David Reveman, layered on top of OpenGL via glitz. It takes advantage of modern graphics cards via their OpenGL drivers, supporting hardware acceleration of all X, OpenGL and XVideo applications and graphical effects by a compositing window manager such as Beryl.
[19:28] <GeekyAdam> soreau: sounds like i have some research to do
[19:28] <soreau> GeekyAdam: Nowadays, most of the functionality xgl provided went into the Texture From Pixmap spec they wrote but it still cannot support three outputs the way xgl does
[19:29] <hipotok> do we have any samba experts on right now?
[19:29] <soreau> hipotok: nope
[19:29] <hipotok> :(
[19:29] <soreau> ! ask | hipotok
[19:30] <GeekyAdam> soreau: so as far as you know, i could get triple monitors to work from 2 cards without using xinerama and still be able to drag windows across one another?
[19:30] <GeekyAdam> soreau: that is to say, using xgl
[19:30] <amn3z1a> anyone have time to help me get new install of ubuntu loaded with all the proper applets and emulator for gaming?
[19:30] <hipotok> I am unable to access my samba server via name from my Win 7 machines. I was told that you need to put a line into the smb.conf that states the name of the server so i can do \\linuxbox instead of \\<ip address> anyone tell me the name of this line and what catagory to place it in?
[19:30] <soreau> GeekyAdam: Yes. But since xgl was designed for the rest of the software technology back then, you will have to use an old version of ubuntu (or other linux flavor)
[19:32] <GeekyAdam> soreau: i see i see. ill look into hardy. not sure if i want to backtrack that far but we'll see.
[19:32] <mkanyicy> just curious, if i do a Ctrl+Z on a program that is burning a disk, will 'fg' or 'bg' make it resume without errors?
[19:33] <lkp> mkanyicy: i've never tried but i wouldnt want to cuz it'll probably cause burning errors
[19:33] <Zol> jrib: Because I believe that I've screwed up a lot since I first installed ubuntu (I'd never touched it before I'd installed it on my VPS, so I don't have /home on a separate partition and so on)
[19:33] <soreau> GeekyAdam: Yea I don't think anyone would. Maybe it's possible to update xgl to work with todays components, who knows
[19:33] <soreau> GeekyAdam: If you got it working, you'd be pretty popular since you're not the only one after such a setup
[19:33] <Zol> Can I somehow make a tar of the root and download it and then hand pick what I want to transfer to the new installation?
[19:34] <bodai> hello.could somebody help me?I set up a server with a static ip address.but can't use my domain name
[19:34] <soreau> bodai: Why do you want to use your domain name?
[19:34] <jrib> Zol: just backup your *data* and anything that you've changed yourself
[19:34] <jrib> !clone | Zol
[19:34] <GeekyAdam> soreau: word. just seems annoying that its neigh impossible to do a 3 monitor setup thats still graphically decent.
[19:34] <schnuffle> bodisiw_: paste sudo cat /etc/resolv.conf
[19:35] <soreau> GeekyAdam: Graphics are fine. It's the functionality that's lacking ;)
[19:35] <bodai> I would like to use myname.example.com not xxx.xxx.xxx
[19:35] <bodai> it is a static ip address
[19:35] <soreau> bodai: If it doesn't relate to a real domain name, you probably should just use something like 'local' or what have you
[19:36] <JonathanEllis> I'm trying to setup a static ip address for my ubuntu machine but when I do, I cant connect to my router (a Huawei EchoLife HG520s from TalkTalk) or anywhere else. My router address is <IP_ADDRESS> and I have set the dhcp pool to begin at <IP_ADDRESS> so I dont understand why when I set my ubuntu machine to <IP_ADDRESS> I cant connect. I have set the gateway address and dns address to <IP_ADDRESS>. Any ideas?
[19:36] <mkanyicy> lkp: thats what i want to know, do they actually occur or we thing they might?
[19:36] <schnuffle> bodai: have you setup this domain so it resolves?
[19:36] <soreau> bodai: Also, this question might be for ##networking since it's more specific to networking and not ubuntu
[19:36] <GeekyAdam> soreau: i disagree. the main project for this setup for me is so i can play WoW on linux through Wine. i can get that to work fine, but when using 3 seperate x screens with xinerama, the fps in WoW drops to nearly unplayable. but with twinscreen across two monitors, the fps is decently fine.
[19:36] <bodai> thank you so much
[19:36] <GeekyAdam> soreau: then again, you could call that functionality i guess :/
[19:36] <GeekyAdam> soreau: so you'd be right
[19:37] <lkp> JonathanEllis: some routers dont allow systems to connect with a static ip
[19:37] <soreau> GeekyAdam: Yes, the graphics are fine indeed. Just have to get it working like you want
[19:37] <avis> i have this script.  it tells me port 80 is already used, though i know i am not running anything on port 80.  ignore the comment about port 8000.  i am wanting to use this as a dropbox replacement
[19:37] <amn3z1a> does anyone have time to walk me thru setting up the rest of a new ubuntu install? I am using it now to be here but need more applets and an emulator to play my games

[19:38] <JonathanEllis> lkp: I wondered about that but http://www.broadbandadvice.org.uk/Website/Special%20Articles/Setting_a_Static_IP_on_HG520.htm and http://www.talktalkmembers.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-16507.html suggest that it should work
[19:38] <magicianlord> is rsync reliable?
[19:38] <avis> schnuffle, thank you for that information is there anything i can change to the script to enable port 80 being able to work on this nautilus script ?

[19:39] <lkp> magicianlord: depends on what ur using it for
[19:39] <[tla]> hi.  ubuntu 10.10 server.  i'd like some help with a possible grub issue.  i made an existing /boot raid 1 with mdadm and grub-install but when i boot the system, i now get a udevadm timeout and "errors were found when checking /boot".  i choose to manually fix and "mount /boot" then ^D and the system boots normally. maybe my grub-install was wrong?
[19:39] <avis> its a nautilus script http://pastebin.com/2zPv9TYN
[19:39] <soreau> avis: Yes I was going to say the same as schnuffle. You have to be root to use ports < 1024
[19:40] <avis> thank you soreau.  i suppose no modification to the script can be made for port 80 ?
[19:40] <magicianlord> lkp: what does that mean
[19:40] <karma_police> does ubuntu have trouble with zip files? it seems to take forever to open a folder containing zip files
[19:41] <lkp> karma_police: try "unzip *zip filename*" on the command line
