[17:46] <bytesaber_work> when is someone going to make a plauge for shitzu's?
[17:46] <Rob235> what is top
[17:46] <zeroburn> Theoretician: what do you mean what application?
[17:46] <naomi_> my windows on digichat, java platfrom won't close. pm windows pop up and it wont let me close them. a friend said its a problem with the coding or something.. anyone know any way to fix it?
[17:47] <Theoretician> zeroburn: what did it come with? what was the actual item you installed?
[17:47] <_Synergy_> Rob235 its a command line program like a task manager
[17:48] <zeroburn> Theoretician: I have no idea, i installed the nvidia drivers from the system-admin-hardware drivers aplication, and it broke my display, then uninstalled it (same way) now i cant open my package manager
[17:48] <Sary> Hi all -- need some help today, trying to determine if someone is remotely accessing my computer, or if that's even possible
[17:48] <Rob235> nothing is going above 5%
[17:48] <Rob235> in top
[17:49] <osse> Is it possible to somehow have autocompletion of filenames when I use bracket expansion? I basically want autocompletion to work as if "{" never was there.
[17:49] <Theoretician> zeroburn: can apt-get update access the repositories at all?
[17:50] <ruan> Sary: check auth.log
[17:50] <zeroburn> Theoretician: yes, it is re updating as we speak
[17:51] <thesary> Hi all -- I need some help determining if someone is remotely accessing my computer, I found out I don't trust one of the people on my network at all.
[17:51] <Theoretician> zeroburn: my guess is that when you un-installed the nvidia package, you also un-installed something important
[17:51] <sipior> thesary: "last" will show you recent logins.
[17:51] <thesary> From what I can gather it's less likely on a linux based OS, but this guy isa computer programmer
[17:52] <zeroburn> Theoretician: thats possible, but how can this be fixed? update is done
[17:52] <thesary> sipior, what do you mean recent logins? Logins directly to my computer or someone else logging in from their own computer to mine?
[17:52] <Roasted_> Has anybody played with libpam_mount? I'm trying to get a share to mount when any user logs in and it's not flying. I'm curious if someone can help me through it so I can get these shares auto mounted on user login.
[17:52] <sipior> thesary: both.
[17:52] <thesary> Awesome so I just go into terminal and type 'last' or do I need to preface it with something?
[17:52] <sipior> thesary: no, that's it.
[17:52] <Theoretician> zeroburn: I'm not an expert, try reinstalling nvidia and if that fails, I have no idea
[17:52] <sipior> thesary: are you running any other services that might be used to compromise the machine?
[17:52] <equipo21> xhol
[17:52] <equipo21> HOLAS
[17:53] <equipo21> holA
[17:53] <sipior> thesary: (web server, file server &cet.)
[17:53] <thesary> sipior: no I am not
[17:53] <zeroburn> I cant, no installations goes past this error
[17:53] <thesary> this guy works for NASA though
[17:53] <thesary> I'm really worried...
[17:53] <equipo21> sswwwwswd
[17:53] <sipior> thesary: might they possibly have physical access to the computer?
[17:54] <thesary> yes.
[17:54] <Theoretician> zeroburn: take a look at your repostitory file. I'm not sure where it is but there might be an issue there
[17:54] <sipior> thesary: that's a problem.
[17:54] <appi_uppi> hi can I use any other command to check cpu utilization ubuntu 10.04 other than top -n 1 | grep "Cpu"
[17:54] <appi_uppi> command
[17:54] <Rob235> huh, a second reboot seems to have fixed the problem, weird that the first one didnt
[17:54] <ayecee> Rob235: weird!
[17:54] <zeroburn> Theoretician: what am i looking for (its in /etc/apt)
[17:54] <Shogoot> hey people. can anyone help mee find the name of the program that executes the "additional driver"?  so that i can call the program from command line?
[17:54] <sipior> thesary: you might consider talking the situation over with the local computer administrator.
[17:54] <Theoretician> zeroburn: just see if it may be empty. If things are missing, it is bad
[17:55] <Induane> Shogoot: its called jockey-gtk
[17:55] <Theoretician> zeroburn: gtg, good luck
[17:55] <Shogoot> Induane: thanks dude
[17:55] <Induane> Shogoot: if you need to find that sort of thing out in the future, right click on the applications menu and go edit menus
[17:55] <Induane> then nagivate to the icon
[17:56] <Rob235> anyone know when the mozilla daily builds repo is gonna have firefox point to 4.0?
[17:56] <Induane> hit properties
[17:56] <Induane> and it will show you what it executes to run that program.
[17:56] <Induane> back later, and no problem
[17:56] <Shogoot> Induane: rgr and thanks
[17:56] <Induane> np
[17:57] <zeroburn> is there a specific chanel for APT-GET issues?
[17:57] <jiltdil> how to change ssh port number ?
[17:57] <Death_FC> Hi, I was able to install Grub2 onto my USB HD, but now when I boot from it, it just comes up at Mini-Grub CLI...  is there a command from there I can use to start the Ubuntu 10.10 that is installed on the drive?
[17:58] <Death_FC> I tried "update-grub" from the Mini-grub, but it didn't work.  So I am guessing i need to launch Ubuntu and then goto terminal from tehre and update...
[17:58] <bdamos> has anybody recently installed ubuntu server edition (10.04) with no configuration on postfix? i'm getting a postfix directory error when trying to restart my networking process
[17:58] <Lord_Phoenix> Hello guys
[17:59] <ayecee> jiltdil: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[17:59] <zeroburn> Death_FC: try http://tolearnfree.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-fix-grub2-on-ubuntu-910.html
[17:59] <zeroburn> or http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3106368.0
[18:00] <Death_FC> zeroburn: thanks for the links, will read up on them
[18:01] <zeroburn> Death_FC: sure, grub2 is the worst boot loader ever to fix once broken.. good luck on that
[18:01] <tommis> hello
[18:02] <Lord_Phoenix> How can I mount SMB shares that been connected automatically at startup?
[18:03] <tommis> i just found out that my keyboard don´t work on grub menu, for some reason. but as i resently upgraded so ubuntu prompts out grub every time i boot. how can i remove grub from existing system or just remove old kernels from existing system on live cd
[18:04] <zeroburn> tommis: what grub? 1 or 2
[18:04] <jiltdil> ayecee:thanx
[18:04] <cache_surplus> what is the alternate for qmake? im trying to install using ./configure
[18:05] <nmerker> et
[18:05] <tommis> 2
[18:05] <cache_surplus>  ./configure: 23: qmake: not found
[18:05] <tommis> running 10.10
[18:05] <ayecee> cache_surplus: you may need to install qmake
[18:05] <cache_surplus> ayecee: not found
[18:05] <ayecee> !find qmake
[18:05] <ruan> !info qt4-qmake
[18:05] <ayecee> bingo
[18:06] <cache_surplus> E: Unable to locate package qmake
[18:06] <Faustus2> why are 90% of mindmap apps made with java? takes 2min just to start em up :S
[18:06] <cache_surplus> oh,, qt4 ill try that
[18:06] <ruan> cache_surplus: qt4
[18:06] <zeroburn> tommis: please use the name tag of the person to whom you are replying, just makes it easier to see the mesages directed at you.. But oka so you wish to add or remove an entry from the grub2 menu correct?
[18:06] <root__> #crazycraft
[18:06] <tommis> zeroburn: would work, yes
[18:06] <root__> fail.
[18:06] <root__> How do i make my own channel on this
[18:07] <Pici> root__: /join #channelname
[18:07] <root__> Thanks
[18:07] <zeroburn> tommis: oka thx.. hmm hold on e sec
[18:07] <cache_surplus> sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/etc
[18:07] <cache_surplus> WARNING: /tmp/kiax-0.8.51-src/qkiax.pro:7: Variable TARGETDEPS is deprecated; use POST_TARGETDEPS instead.
[18:07] <cache_surplus> installed qt4-qmake, got that message
[18:07] <cache_surplus> suggestions
[18:08] <cache_surplus> when they say use POST_TARGETDEPS what do they mean syntax wise?
[18:08] <ruan> cache_surplus: looks like a warning, not an error. though you can change the line
[18:08] <tommis> cache_surplus: you install qt4-qmake like this, "sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake"
[18:09] <cache_surplus> tommis: qmake is not install
[18:09] <cache_surplus> opps
[18:09] <cache_surplus> is NOW installed
[18:09] <tommis> mkay
[18:09] <cache_surplus> i pasted the ./configure so you could see what happend next
[18:09] <tommis> ooh
[18:09] <cache_surplus> this might be over your head tommis...
[18:09] <zeroburn> tommis: the easiest way to do this would be to install ubuntu tweak http://ubuntu-tweak.com/downloads/
[18:09] <cache_surplus> i haven't used configure in a while,,, its ubuntu lol
[18:10] <tommis> cache_surplus: noup, just language parrier
[18:10] <cache_surplus> tweak?
[18:10] <ayecee> cache_surplus: it's a warning, I wouldn't worry about it.
[18:10] <zeroburn> tommis: manualy configuring the grub menu is a nightmare to say the least...
[18:10] <cache_surplus> its a warning, no, it wont go further, its not installed. that ./configure should have done way more stdout
[18:10] <ayecee> cache_surplus: the qmake file was probably created for an earlier version of qmake, and the later version is letting you know that.
[18:10] <tommis> zeroburn: but would it work if i am on live cd?
[18:10] <nick> i'm having some troubles getting the executable bit set on files, when i go to properties->permissions i can click the allow execution thingy
[18:10] <cache_surplus> ayecee: ic
[18:10] <vanguard> Is there some way to make the window resizer a little bigger? Right now I have to aim withing a couple pixels to get the resize cursor
[18:11] <ruan> nick: what filesystem is this?
[18:11] <cache_surplus> yah im trying to put a hardy prog on 10.10
[18:11] <zeroburn> tommis: are you currently running from a live cd?
[18:11] <nick> ruan: oh, derp.
[18:11] <cache_surplus> i should know better
[18:11] <ayecee> cache_surplus: perhaps there's a more current version?
[18:11] <tommis> zeroburn: yes because i can´t boot to my own system
[18:11] <nick> ruan: ntfs
[18:11] <ruan> nick: mount it with ntfs-3g
[18:11] <zeroburn> oka hold on
[18:11] <zeroburn> tommis: oka hold on
[18:11] <tommis> zeroburn: because i can´t use keyboard to select kernel in grub
[18:12] <itmustbejj> I am trying to track down a memory leak in xorg, I have found the culprit in xrestop but it is unknown with a PID of ?, anyone know how I might go about tracking it down further?
[18:12] <tommis> i should report a bug later...
[18:12] <cache_surplus> ayecee: i dont think so, the website i downloaded from shows intrepid as last universe release
[18:12] <ruan> nick: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdX /mnt/x
[18:12] <cache_surplus> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kiax/0.8.51.dfsg-2-1
[18:12] <cache_surplus> take a gander
[18:12] <zeroburn> tommis: oka lets try this, navigate to your boot folder (default is /etc/grub.d)
[18:12] <cache_surplus> its a softphone for asterisk use
[18:13] <cache_surplus> im gonna see if i can use my google voice number for this asterisk server on my laptop ;)
[18:13] <ayecee> cache_surplus: maybe there's an updated version of kiax that has not yet been packaged.
[18:13] <cache_surplus> gvoice is a free sip account, so why not give it a whirl lol
[18:13] <zeroburn> tommis: no its not a grub bug, its a harware bug, normaly USB keyboards have this issue on certain MBs.. duno why
[18:13] <cache_surplus> ayecee: maybe, where can i find such ?
[18:13] <tommis> zeroburn: okay
[18:13] <tommis> zeroburn: i am on the folder
[18:14] <cache_surplus> ill look around again...
[18:14] <ayecee> cache_surplus: google led me to their homepage, http://www.forschung-direkt.eu/kiax2/
[18:14] <cache_surplus> im sure it did
[18:14] <cache_surplus> thanks
[18:14] <cache_surplus> doesnt mean its gonna work with 10.10
[18:14] <ayecee> nod
[18:14] <TheUnknown> Greetings.
[18:14] <TheUnknown> Wnat ks\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
[18:14] <TheUnknown> whoops.
[18:14] <cache_surplus> what keywords did you use ayecee?
[18:14] <zeroburn> tommis: oka, now there should be files with a 2 digit prefix eg 10_linux or 20_memtest86+.. to which of these operating systems do you wish to bot?
[18:14] <theholder> hi
[18:15] <TheUnknown> Whats the difference between completely removing an uninstalling using synaptic ?
[18:15] <TheUnknown> and*
[18:15] <ayecee> cache_surplus: yeah, kinda looks dead
[18:15] <tommis> zeroburn: the ubuntu 10.10 i have got installed
[18:15] <cache_surplus> ayecee: Developer Forum (requires login)
[18:15] <ayecee> cache_surplus: no wait, they have windows builds up to 2009
[18:15] <zee313> how to run windows media streams on my ubuntu?
[18:16] <cache_surplus> not running windoze...
[18:16] <cache_surplus> strickly linux here in this household
[18:16] <tommis> zeroburn: but i only wan´t one kernel entry
[18:16] <ayecee> cache_surplus: right, I'm sayign that the project may not actually be dead. however, you're still left with the chore of getting a soruce tarball and making it work somehow.
[18:16] <cache_surplus> even if i used virtual instance of windoze it would sound like crap voice wise
[18:16] <zeroburn> tommis: oka now you need to find the file that corresponds to that then (probly xx_linux)
[18:16] <tommis> zeroburn: i´ve only got ubuntu on this machine
[18:16] <theholder> zee131: install the gstreamer plugins
[18:16] <TheUnknown> It says "mark for removal" and "mark for complete removal". Whats the difference ?
[18:16] <nick> ruan: Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.
[18:16] <cache_surplus> ayecee: true, one that is 10.10 friendly
[18:16] <cache_surplus> in freebsd its not an issue
[18:17] <zeroburn> tommis: oka then give me the list of files with a 2 digit prefix
[18:17] <cache_surplus> rarely i should say
[18:17] <tommis> there is 10_linux  20_linux_xen
[18:17] <tommis> zeroburn:
[18:17] <cache_surplus> also that site you got for your "google" search, is just an info page
[18:17] <cache_surplus> ill check source forge
[18:17] <zeroburn> tommis: oka, when you are inside grub. what is the default entry listed? is it the incorrect one?
[18:18] <ruan> nick: unmount(umount) it first
[18:18] <zeroburn> tommis: in other words, do you want to go to the second entry, or a third or so forth?
[18:18] <tommis> zeroburn: no i just need on kernel, so it boots to it automaticly
[18:18] <cache_surplus> ayecee: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kiax/ might work, however, it looks like the same version
[18:18] <vanguard> exit
[18:18] <tommis> zeroburn: i wan´t older kernel entry removed
[18:19] <nick> ruan: umount: /dev/sdb is not mounted (according to mtab)
[18:19] <zeroburn> tommis: oka but the files you gave me suggests there are only 2 entries in the grub menu?
[18:19] <cache_surplus> i guess ekiga and empathy or things of this nature seemed to work for ubuntu rather than try to the avg desktop user work less.
[18:19] <cache_surplus> leaving out the fun and fascination of ./configure
[18:19] <trism> TheUnknown: complete removal should remove system configuration files for the package too
[18:20] <tommis> zeroburn: here is full ls: 00_header  05_debian_theme  10_linux  20_linux_xen  20_memtest86+  30_os-prober  40_custom  41_custom  README
[18:20] <nick> ruan: umount: /dev/sdb is not mounted (according to mtab)
[18:20] <Rob235> every instance variable that you have a property thats set to retain you have to release in dealloc right?
[18:20] <Rob235> oops wrong channel
[18:20] <Rob235> sorry
[18:20] <cache_surplus> yep, the gui ubuntu software center grabbed it, said, wrong arch... sighs..
[18:21] <zeroburn> tommis: oka now the 10 entry should be the one highlighted when you get to the grub menu (ie the default option)
[18:21] <theholder> kk
[18:21] <theholder> sorr
[18:21] <theholder> -_-
[18:21] <tommis> zeroburn: and i want other removed
[18:21] <ruan> nick: are you sure it's sdb and not sdb1/2/3 etc
[18:21] <zeroburn> tommis: which means, the 20_should be  the one you wish to have left
[18:21] <nick> ruan: oh, i ment sdb1
[18:22] <zeroburn> tommis: yes, but we first need to know in which order they are for us to delete the other
[18:22] <cache_surplus> ayecee: however i just check out ubuntu software center, typed in iax and i got a few hits, SFLphone and Yate Voip Client. those might work,,, ill let you guys know later... in a day or two maybe lol
[18:22] <ayecee> :)
[18:22] <tommis> zeroburn: okay...
[18:22] <Tiberiu> hello
[18:22] <Tiberiu> I have a weird problem with the console
[18:22] <cache_surplus> ayecee: i wanted to try out x-lite but ya know, thats a mac/doze client... yawn
[18:22] <Tiberiu> it only shows stderr
[18:23] <zeroburn> tommis: oka navigate to /boot/grub/ and open grub.cfg
[18:23] <Tiberiu> also in C programs, the printf() function doesn't display anything in the console
[18:24] <Tiberiu> but if I do fprintf(stderr, "bla") it does work
[18:24] <ayecee> Tiberiu: has it always been like that, it did it change recently?
[18:24] <Tiberiu> it changed some time ago... like a month if i remember well
[18:25] <ayecee> Tiberiu: does it do the same thing via ssh, or only at the console itself?
[18:25] <Tiberiu> ayacee: hmmm... huh?
[18:26] <zeroburn> tommis: take the content of that file and paste it at http://paste.ubuntu.com and give the redirected website here so i can view your config file and edit it for you
[18:27] <ayecee> Tiberiu: which part is huh?
[18:27] <sipior> Tiberiu: you haven't changed any characteristics of your terminal?
[18:27] <Tiberiu> I don't remember changing anything
[18:27] <sipior> Tiberiu: echo "foo" returns nothing else?
[18:27] <sparch> hi
[18:27] <Tiberiu> hold on a second, let me reboot into linux... can't really think in windows
[18:28] <sparch> Tiberiu, I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
[18:28] <cache_surplus> im going to run an asterisk pbx locally on this laptop. i have installed successfully and asterisk -rvv works. im in command prompt. i would like to try and run my google voice number off this server and use the ivr and other features of asterisk. any suggestions where to begin? also, my client will be iax2 compatible and is preferred for asterisk from what i can see so far. how to go bout configuring slfphone.gtk thanks. su
[18:28] <tommis> zeroburn: here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/586959/ have fun
[18:28] <sipior> sparch: save your pedantry for someone who has a use for it.

[18:31] <thesary> No I understand, but I don't know how to open netstat, please explain how
[18:31] <thesary> and I don't suspect a hacker, I suspect my network administrator is remotely accessing my computer,
[18:31] <thesary> and would like to disable the option.
[18:31] <cache_surplus> ?
[18:31] <cache_surplus> what are you talking about... disable what?

[18:32] <thesary> I just don't understand what you mean when you say "check netstat for open ports to critical services in use remotely"
[18:32] <tommis> zeroburn: it is the same :/, ls 00_header  05_debian_theme  10_linux  20_linux_xen  20_memtest86+  30_os-prober  40_custom  41_custom  README
[18:32] <ruan> thesary: you can stop the daemon for remote access
[18:32] <cache_surplus> thesary: are you asking the questions here?
[18:32] <cache_surplus> or bs
[18:32] <thesary> yes, ruan, how do I do that?
[18:32] <zeroburn> tommis: oka good..
[18:32] <naomi_> pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc does nothing for me. is there an option to assign commands to keys like this or?
[18:33] <cache_surplus> just follow the steps... sheshh
[18:33] <cache_surplus> we will get to all that later...
[18:33] <cache_surplus> unless i get pissed off and do something else with my time
[18:33] <tommis> i hate that by default gnome terminal don´t use ^c and ^v
[18:33] <chinthaka> hi, I need a virtual machine software that can be used on ubuntu. can anyone please help me?
[18:33] <sipior> thesary: hi again. you might consider installing the program "nmap"
[18:33] <ruan> tommis: ctrl shift c & v
[18:33] <sipior> thesary: should be available in the "software centre".
[18:33] <tommis> ruan: i know but i haven´t used to that
[18:34] <ruan> tommis: same
[18:34] <thesary> sipior: researching now
[18:34] <tommis> desktop should be unified
[18:34] <sipior> thesary: i believe the graphical interface is also installed automatically, and you can use that to scan your computer directly.
[18:34] <pider> //msg Nickserv identity gunnar25
[18:34] <zvacet> chinthaka:  do you mean vmware or vbox
[18:34] <thesary> thankyou sipior, downloading now
[18:34] <juboba> pider, wtf?
[18:34] <cache_surplus> bs_: well... what have you done... so far that i suggested
[18:34] <zeroburn> tommis: oka so according to the config file, you have 4 menu entries:
[18:34] <zeroburn> Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-28-generic
[18:34] <zeroburn> Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-28-generic (recovery mode)
[18:34] <zeroburn> Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic
[18:34] <zeroburn> Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic (recovery mode)
[18:34] <FloodBot3> zeroburn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:34] <zeroburn> and then the memory tests.. is this correct?
[18:34] <tommis> pider: a big WHOOPS?
[18:34] <chinthaka> zvacet:yes
[18:34] <cache_surplus> bs_: also, what makes you think you been hacked? what are the signs...
[18:35] <zeroburn> tommis: awg shoot.. flood bot
[18:35] <ozkan> hi all! I have 10.10 installed. My laptop is Asus f81. ubuntu doesn't boot. it boots only with acpi=off option. what is the reason for this?
[18:35] <zvacet> chinthaka: you can install vbox from synaptic
[18:35] <ayecee> zeroburn: that looks correct
[18:35] <tommis> zeroburn: zeroburn i wan´t last two to be removed
[18:35] <chinthaka> zvacet:ok thank you very much
[18:36] <zvacet> chinthaka:  but you can read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=973756
[18:36] <ayecee> ozkan: the reason is that linux's acpi code does not interact well with your laptop's acpi code.
[18:36] <sipior> thesary: if it isn't installed automatically, install the package "zenmap".
[18:36] <zeroburn> tommis: only the last two, does it boot correctly to the first entry?
[18:36] <ayecee> ozkan: it's hard to go into more detail than that.
[18:36] <bs_> cache_surplus, some files changed.and walpaper xhanged.any open differnt sites  but i cant open them..it happened with me
[18:37] <sherri> hello
[18:37] <ozkan> ok, thank you very much. is it harmful to use it with that option?
[18:37] <tommis> zeroburn: if i could press enter, yes
[18:37] <cache_surplus> bs_: sudo less /var/log/auth.log see if you can see unauthorized access under diff account, and check you /etc/passwd for timestamp of change
[18:38] <ayecee> ozkan: with acpi turned off, a lot of the power management functions are disabled. The laptop may run hot, or have less battery life than you'd expect
[18:38] <cache_surplus> bs_: ls -al /etc/passwd
[18:38] <zeroburn> tommis: it should boot the first option automaticly, after 10sec?
[18:38] <tommis> zeroburn: it dosen´t
[18:38] <ayecee> ozkan: it's unlikely to cause actual harm, though.
[18:38] <zeroburn> tommis: oka il have a look
[18:38] <cache_surplus> bs_: ls -altr / your file directories one by one, and see what files were touched last and by whom
[18:38] <Tibi> now this is really weird... apparently the console works just fine right now
[18:39] <Tibi> but for quite some time it didn't work properly...
[18:39] <cache_surplus> bs_: unplug from the internet right now and start sifting through everything i just said... start looking for files and timestamps to get a clue when things changed... thats the first step. check your logs as well
[18:40] <cache_surplus> again, log off right now... and sift
[18:40] <cache_surplus> come back when you have more info
[18:40] <ayecee> ozkan: if a bios upgrade is available for the laptop, there's a chance that that might fix it.
[18:41] <sparch> hi
[18:41] <ioria> help help help i'm going mad
[18:41] <zeroburn> tommis: overwrite your grub.config with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/586965/ and test it
[18:41] <naomi_> could one of you test something for me? im not sure if its only doing this on my os or if it does it for everyone.
[18:41] <BluesKaj> !ask |  ioria
[18:41] <ruan> can someone remind me the location of openssh-server settings?
[18:42] <ayecee> ruan: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[18:42] <ioria> it is possible that an eth1 works like a wlan0 ... a wireless .. i mean ????
[18:42] <zeroburn> tommis: it should select an entry named "ubuntu 10.10" and either after 2 or 10 seconds boot it
[18:42] <ruan> ayecee: thanks
[18:43] <zeroburn> ioria: no
[18:43] <ioria> yes it is
[18:43] <ioria> wtf
[18:43] <sparch> sure
[18:43] <grammar-nazi> ioria: Then why did you ask?
[18:43] <ozkan> ayecee: I made bios upgrades.. but it didn't change anything. now I downloaded 2.6.32 series kernel, and 10.10 works with it.
[18:43] <justin_> Hello, ubuntu 10.10, my cursor shakes slightly whenever I just have my finger sitting on it.  This is effecting delicate procedures and I'm wondering if their's a fix for it.
[18:43] <zeroburn> ioria: if it hase wireless extensions, you will be able to configure t with the iw or iwconfig utility
[18:44] <ioria> because sometime the ping does not work
[18:44] <ioria> only if i ping first
[18:44] <ioria> the ifup wlan0 gives me an error
[18:45] <ioria> but i'm connecting with the wireless
[18:45] <sipior> calling all linux bots.
[18:45] <Pici> sipior: eh?
[18:46] <velope> anything new at ubuntu area?
[18:46] <sipior> Pici: sorry, was testing a hypothesis that sparch was one of these GNU/linux bots.
[18:46] <ioria> zeroburn: can you explain it to me , please ????????????????????????????????????'
[18:46] <Pici> sipior: ah
[18:46] <tommis> zeroburn: done, i will now reboot *fingers crossed*
[18:47] <zeroburn> ioria: explain what? the fact that your wireless connection shows up as the eth0 device?
[18:47] <zeroburn> tommis: yep.. lets hope :)
[18:47] <ioria> zeroburn: can you explain it to me , please ????????????????????????????????????'
[18:48] <eltigre> hey, I have two stale processes I can't kill
[18:48] <eltigre> what can I do?
[18:48] <zeroburn> ioria: explain your setup? what are you using to connect to where?
[18:48] <milamber> !details | eltigre
[18:48] <eltigre> I tried kill -9
[18:48] <ioria> laptop with ubuntu and a winXP desktop
[18:49] <eltigre> it is the istanbul screen cast program when saving the video
[18:49] <aenima_sutemi> join undernet
[18:49] <eltigre> I am trying to kill the process with kill 9, won't work
[18:49] <milamber> eltigre: what was the output when you did kill -9? did you use sudo?
[18:49] <eltigre> I did use sudo and no output
[18:49] <milamber> eltigre: can you pastebin it?
[18:50] <eltigre> what?
[18:50] <xibalba> hey guys, way newb question here but i just added a virtual disk to my ubuntu lucid vmware guest, what's the proper way in ubuntu to load it up?
[18:50] <eltigre> the "no output"? Don't know how to pastebin that
[18:50] <xibalba> normally in freebsd i'd use sysconfig and have it fdisk/etc..
[18:50] <eltigre> and the command is just kill -9 plus the pid
[18:50] <naomi_> could someone check something real quick for me? wanna know if its just my computer doing this or if everyone on ubuntu has the same problem. .-.
[18:50] <xibalba> i've googled it but it keeps giving me lamp install stuff
[18:51] <xibalba> "ubuntu lucid add new hard drives"
[18:51] <eltigre> milamber, is there anything "more forceful" than kill -9 to kill a process?
[18:52] <zeroburn> ioria: please you the nickname tab, so i can see your replys
[18:53] <milamber> eltigre: not really. is it the same pid every time?
[18:53] <ThinkT510> naomi_: what is the problem
[18:53] <zeroburn> ioria: so you want to connect a laptop running ubuntu to a desktop running windows XP using a wifi card I presume?
[18:53] <eltigre> milamber,  I have two defunct processes like this
[18:53] <ioria> zeroburn : yes and it works... but... not always
[18:54] <eltigre> milamber, the PIDs are distinct, but stay the same
[18:54] <ruan> ok, how do i restart sshd?
[18:54] <xibalba> anyone?
[18:54] <ioria> and my interfaces file is empty
[18:54] <xibalba> ruan, restart ssh
[18:54] <xibalba> ruan, restart sshd
[18:54] <zeroburn> ioria: what happens on the "not always" times? does it not connect, does it give errors?
[18:54] <milamber> ruan: sudo service ssh restart
[18:54] <pdtpatri1k> \quit
[18:54] <xibalba> what's the best way to add a new hard drive ?
[18:54] <ruan> thanks
[18:54] <xibalba> too many people come and go
[18:54] <xibalba> messing up my bitchx

[18:55] <xibalba> google is giving me crap results
[18:55] <zeroburn> ioria: so the xp pc cant see the latop? or it the ping time negative?

[18:55] <xibalba> hello?
[18:55] <ioria> and after the ubuntu ping the xp pc ping becomes positive

[18:58] <eltigre> milamber,  http://pastebin.com/5n1behkY I grepped for istanbul
[19:00] <eltigre> hm
[19:00] <zeroburn>  ioria: oka I c... does the laptop have the samba shares installed?
[19:00] <zeroburn> ioria: sudo apt-get install samba
[19:00] <ioria> yes sure
[19:01] <milamber> eltigre: defunct processes are already dead
[19:01] <xibalba> this chan has so much activity it's hard to stay w/the convo. anyone know how to turn off the add/leave notifications in bitchx?
[19:01] <ioria> no... samba is ok
[19:01] <drc> xibalba: what client?
[19:01] <xibalba> bitchx
[19:01] <xibalba> drc
[19:02] <xibalba> apparently bitchx isn't in the ubuntu repo
[19:02] <theinkman21> what do i do about 11 segmentation fault
[19:02] <iceroot> xibalba: its no longer supported/in development
[19:02] <Pici> xibalba: bitchx? thats not exactly still supported, but you may be able to do /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS
[19:02] <naomi_> sigh. can i pm someone a second? -.-
[19:02] <milamber> eltigre: so it's not big deal, but if you want it remove it from the list, pstree will give you the hierarchy and you can kill the parent
[19:02] <eltigre> ok
[19:03] <Pici> xibalba: Are you actually using Ubuntu?
[19:03] <eltigre> thanks
[19:03] <lasha> naomi_ u can PM by right clicking on name and selecting personal message
[19:03] <lasha> naomi_ u can PM by right clicking on name and selecting open dialog window i mean
[19:03] <theinkman21> segmentation fault 11 what do i do
[19:04] <naomi_> i know. but i was told not to pm without asking. -.- and i just need one person to check something for me, to make sure its not just my computer, that this problem im having is with all ubuntu's.
[19:04] <Pici> naomi_: Ask in the channel then.
[19:05] <theinkman21> what do i do when i use k9copy on 10.10 and after a fresh install i get a segmentation fault 11 in k9copy
[19:05] <ruan> i cant seem to connect to my external IP address, but it is shared amongst all computers in my network
[19:05] <naomi_> i use digichats a lot, on java platform. and when a pm conversation pops up i cant close it. i cant close any windows. i was only pm'ing to give you the link to the chatroom to try it and see if you can close windows.
[19:05] <naomi_> i didn't wanna post a chat link in here.
[19:06] <ruan> then again, my external IP address is shared with hundreds of people
[19:06] <bonjoyee> theinkman21: try running from the terminal for any hints...
[19:06] <Pici> naomi_: ah. I see.
[19:06] <Pici> naomi_: Well, as long as the person you're talking to is okay with you sending a pm, it should be fine.
[19:07] <ruan> how can i connect to my external ip address if its shared with many others?
[19:07] <theinkman21> what command
[19:07] <Pici> ruan: What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[19:07] <ruan> Pici: sshing into my pc
[19:07] <ayecee> ruan: normally you'd have to configure the router providing the external address to forward a particular port to you
[19:07] <bonjoyee> ruan: port forwarding?
[19:07] <ruan> Pici: without the lan ip
[19:07] <ruan> bonjoyee: i have forwarded the ports, but it seems to be a different pc when i try to connect to it
[19:08] <ayecee> ruan: how so?
[19:08] <bonjoyee> ruan: or install something like hamachi...
[19:08] <ayecee> that is, what makes you think it's a different computer?
[19:08] <ruan> hmm hamachi. will that work on a phone? i need to ssh into my phone
[19:08] <ruan> ayecee: not the same ports are forwarded
[19:08] <ayecee> ruan: i don't know what you mean..
[19:09] <ruan> if i connect to port 411 of my local LAN IP, the connection is refused
[19:09] <ruan> if i connect to it with my external ip, it times out
[19:09] <xibalba> drc
[19:09] <xibalba> many thanks
[19:09] <ayecee> ruan: is port 411 forwarded to your pc?
[19:09] <ruan> ayecee: yes, but nothing is listening on it
[19:10] <ayecee> ruan: what is the external ip?
[19:10] <persapenseva> HIII
[19:10] <ruan> ayecee: <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:10] <vacho> guys I want to zip an entire folder and keep the file permissions etc..how can I do that?
[19:10] <ayecee> ruan: I'm getting connection refused on port 411. that's positive, right?
[19:10] <ruan> ayecee: hmm..
[19:10] <ruan> times out here
[19:11] <ayecee> ruan: it's quite common in NAT setups that you won't can't connect to the external ip from inside, only outside
[19:11] <ruan> ayecee: i'll switch the port back to 411
[19:11] <theinkman21> i cant get rid of segmentation fault 11 on k9copy
[19:11] <ruan> then try to connect
[19:11] <ruan> 2 mins
[19:11] <bs_> is there any software to save our system by hacking?????
[19:12] <bonjoyee> ruan: is see the port closed...
[19:12] <ruan> ayecee: switched back to 411, try to connect now
[19:12] <ayecee> ruan: still connection refused
[19:12] <ruan> odd
[19:12] <eas> bs_: what?
[19:12] <ruan> sshd[31296]: Server listening on <IP_ADDRESS> port 411.
[19:12] <jamess> good evening all, my ubuntu has got exploited, i see someone is running an ircd account on it. i see that they have added root access as well, how can i fix those please
[19:13] <b26> anyone know how to install the Elegant Brit GNOME theme for ubuntu 10.10?
[19:13] <ayecee> ruan: you have no local firewall, right?
[19:13] <ruan> ayecee: nope
[19:13] <LjL> jamess: reinstall from scratch. a compromised box should be "fixed"
[19:13] <LjL> jamess: i mean "shouldn't"
[19:13] <ninjai> is it possible to have 2 window managers running on 2 monitors?
[19:13] <bs_> eas,is there any software present in ubuntu that not allow hacker to reach  to our system????
[19:13] <ayecee> ruan: then it seems the port forwarding is not set up, or not set up the way you think it is :)
[19:13] <andreylosev> I got a usb wifi adapter, plugged it in, connected to a network, everything worked fine. After rebooting, it appears to connect but I can not send or receive any data. How can I fix this?
[19:13] <eas> iptables!
[19:14] <ddbt_nl> is there an official guide or something for the new natty release that teaches you how to deal with unity and keyboard shortcuts etc?
[19:14] <GuyCanada> hey guys, im having trouble using my laptop as a media center, when i plug in the HDMI can i make it so HDMI is the only sound output? otherwise i get a strange echo from my laptop playing the sounds as well
[19:14] <ruan> hmm. should i reset my router to gain access to it?
[19:14] <andreylosev> elaborate please eas
[19:14] <bs_> eas,so no body can hack my system????is there any software present????
[19:14] <eas> IPTABLES!@#
[19:14] <ayecee> ruan: I don't know enough about your setup to answer that.
[19:14] <ruan> !ufw
[19:14] <eas> bs_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[19:14] <Pici> bs_: Do you have an ssh server installed? If so, I highly suggest that you install fail2ban.
[19:14] <andreylosev> is that for me?
[19:15] <ThinkT510> bs_: i suggest you read up on unix systems
[19:15] <ayecee> ThinkT510: that is a very thoughtful and complete suggestion.
[19:15] <b26> anyone know how to install the Elegant Brit GNOME theme for ubuntu 10.10?
[19:15] <Pici> iptables is a bit low-level for what bs_ is asking.
[19:15] <bonjoyee> ruan: confirm you are forwarding port 411 to the right computer...( local ip)
[19:15] <ruan> bonjoyee: it is forwarded on my router
[19:16] <ruan> tcp and udp
[19:16] <GuyCanada> is there a way to make HDMI the ounly sound output when i plug it in? so when i plug in hdmi i dont get an echo from my computer speakers playing at the same time as my tv?
[19:16] <bonjoyee> ruan: yes..but check you have entered correct local ip...
[19:16] <ruan> bonjoyee: i can connect to my local ip
[19:16] <ruan> hmm
[19:16] <ayecee> ruan: is your router perhaps behind another router? :)
[19:16] <ruan> ayecee: nope, only 1
[19:16] <ruan> brb
[19:17] <ayecee> ruan: could it be that the isp providing the connection does some filtering?
[19:17] <pentester> :/
[19:17] <bonjoyee> ruan: what i mean to say..is the router forwarding port 411 to the right computer running the service..?
[19:18] <b26> anyone know how to install the Elegant Brit GNOME theme for ubuntu 10.10?
[19:18] <An_Ony_Moose> How can I avoid the CPU getting hot enough to make the fan turn on? Does throttling help?
[19:18] <ThinkT510> !themes | b26
[19:19] <zeroburn> An_Ony_Moose: that is not reconmended at all, it will get hot.. the fan will have to run. unless you have one mother of a heat sink
[19:19] <GuyCanada> can anyone help me with hdmi audio? i want hdmi to be theon ly audio output when hdmi is plugged in
[19:19] <ThinkT510> b26: it should just be a case of extracting/copying the theme to ~/.themes
[19:20] <An_Ony_Moose> zeroburn: why wouldn't throttling help?
[19:20] <An_Ony_Moose> zeroburn: (throttling as in lowering the CPU clock)
[19:20] <andreylosev> I got a usb wifi adapter, plugged it in, connected to a network, everything worked fine. After rebooting, it appears to connect but I can not send or receive any data. How can I fix this?
[19:21] <zeroburn> An_Ony_Moose: the transistors heat as current pass through them, even if you should pass DC (0MHz) trough it, it will heat up..
[19:21] <bonjoyee> an_ony_Moose: throttling will help but not so much as to turn off the cpu fan..
[19:21] <preetam> unable to access internet after installing ubuntu 10.04 ..DNS server problem
[19:21] <preetam> pls help
[19:21] <b26> ThinkT510: thank you
[19:22] <bonjoyee> preetam: can you ping ips? like <IP_ADDRESS>?
[19:22] <ThinkT510> b26: np
[19:22] <zeroburn> An_Ony_Moose: why do you wish to turn of the fan in the first place?
[19:22] <An_Ony_Moose> zeroburn: I need the machine to run silently
[19:22] <b26> ThinkT510: there's nothing listed in ~/.themes directory though
[19:22] <An_Ony_Moose> even if that costs performance
[19:22] <preetam> bonjoyee: no network unreachable even I am unable to ping my router..
[19:22] <JJ_> Hello?
[19:23] <ThinkT510> b26: it usually is empty, paste the theme there then you can select it from where you normally select themes
[19:23] <zeroburn> An_Ony_Moose: for that you will need a very lage heatsink, preferably with a heavy coeffiecient lower than 8degrees celsius
[19:23] <bonjoyee> preetam: how are you connected to internet?
[19:24] <An_Ony_Moose> zeroburn: that's sadly not an option, seeing as this is a netbook... So noise is completely unavoidable without risking an overheat?
[19:24] <ThinkT510> b26: adding themes to ~/.themes/ makes them available in the themes list
[19:24] <preetam> bonjoyee i have connect through broadband. after excuting sudo dhclient eth0 I can only access internet. but i have to run it everytime i login..
[19:24] <Shyster> whats the command to start the gui from command line?
[19:25] <zeroburn> An_Ony_Moose: yes on a netbook it is even more difficult... one moment, there might be another option, if you are wiling to open up and wire some things internaly
[19:25] <bonjoyee> preetam: not using network manager?
[19:25] <JJ_> Ok. for anyone alive out there, I am a windows user fed up of Microsoft's monopoly and lack of security. Can anyone tell me this much: OK, I try to use the Ubuntu Clam AV, but for some reason, it is out of date and won't update. Any help here?
[19:25] <ThinkT510> Shyster: startx
[19:25] <An_Ony_Moose> zeroburn: definitely not. Thanks for the help anyway :)
[19:25] <Shyster> thank you ThinkT510
[19:25] <An_Ony_Moose> JJ_: you don't need antivirus on linux
[19:26] <preetam> bonjoyee: network manger is disable. the icon is not appearing in the system tray after nm --applet.
[19:26] <ThinkT510> Shyster: np
[19:26] <zeroburn> An_Ony_Moose: hay noprob. good luck though
[19:26] <An_Ony_Moose> thanks :)
[19:26] <Shyster> is it possible to have both kde and gnome install ? and switch from one to another?
[19:26] <maco> preetam: check /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
[19:26]  * An_Ony_Moose considers programming an antivirus for linux called "obecalp"
[19:26] <Shyster> like 1 user use gnome and another use kde?
[19:27] <bonjoyee> preetam: check you /etc/network/interfaces file ....it must only have the lo interface defined for nm to work..
[19:27] <milamber> Shyster: yes
[19:27] <b26> blah
[19:27] <ThinkT510> Shyster: yes, you can select which desktop environment from the login screen (gdm/kdm)
[19:27] <JJ_> Ok, then lets say for some reason I was clicking on a link to a site and it redirected me to a windows virus, I know they do not run on Linux, but how would I get the sucker out of Linux?
[19:27] <b26> not having much work
[19:27] <milamber> !info kubuntu-desktop | Shyster
[19:27] <Shyster> cool ty
[19:28] <An_Ony_Moose> JJ_: it doesn't download thanks to a secure browser?
[19:28] <meganerdca> JJ_: delete whatever was downloaded
[19:28] <bonjoyee> JJ_	the sucker won't suck linux!!
[19:28] <ukdkbr> abarrett,
[19:28] <An_Ony_Moose> and what bonjoyee said xD
[19:28] <preetam> maco: ifupdown, managed = false
[19:28] <milamber> bug 1
[19:28] <preetam> maco: shall i make it true
[19:28] <maco> preetam: fix the falseness and reboot?
[19:28] <JJ_> And how would I know what to delete?
[19:28] <maco> preetam: right
[19:29] <JJ_> Its not like the virus magically tells you what the file name is.
[19:29] <moah> hello #ubuntu, my .bash_profile is not being evaluated when I start up gnome-terminal, how can I change that?
[19:29] <bonjoyee> moah: theres no .bash_profile in ubuntu by default..
[19:29] <An_Ony_Moose> moah: .bashrc
[19:29] <ThinkT510> !virus | JJ_
[19:30] <JJ_> what is "!virus"? A command?
[19:30] <preetam> maco: thanks now it is working
[19:30] <milamber> JJ_ the '!' tells the irc bot for the channel to 'say' something
[19:30] <maco> JJ_: its an instruction for the channel's bot (ubottu)
[19:30] <zvacet> JJ_:  read above link
[19:30] <An_Ony_Moose> JJ_: we have a bot here called ubottu . She explains stuff related to keywords prefixed with an ! (like !virus)
[19:30] <ThinkT510> !bot | JJ_
[19:30] <GuyCanada> does anyone know how to make HDMI theon ly audio output when its plugged in?
[19:30] <moah> bonjoyee: OK, thanks very much, I didnt know that, these files are from my old distribution.
[19:30] <cache_surplus> bbl, thanks for the help yo
[19:30] <GuyCanada> the onl*
[19:31] <GuyCanada> only*
[19:31] <JJ_> Oh
[19:31] <bonjoyee> moah: its either .bashrc or .profile
[19:32] <abhinav> hey, can anyone help me? i want to knw how can we execute a c++ file? I already made one but dont know how to execute it.
[19:32] <JJ_> Alright...here is another question, I am a noob to all this, so bear with me, folks. I tried downloading Avira for Linux, but I do not know how to install and configure the thing. Any tips?
[19:32] <ayecee> abhinav: you would have to compile it first with g++
[19:33] <BluesKaj> GuyCanada, some hdmi equipped cards need the souncard out to be connected audio in on the hdmi card, imilar to some tv tuner cards
[19:33] <gordonjcp> JJ_: what's "Avira for Linux"?
[19:33] <abhinav> ayecee: how?
[19:33] <JJ_> Avira antivirus for Linux.
[19:33] <meganerdca> GuyCanada: on my laptop under the sound preferences is where I change my audio in and out.  When I select HDMI the other audio ports go silent
[19:33] <gordonjcp> JJ_: oh, okay, why do you want that?
[19:33] <ayecee> abhinav: well, what's the filename?
[19:33] <rypervenche> Is it better to let Ubuntu install on by default on one partition, or should I make partitions for /, /home,and swap? My current computer is the latter, but I have almost run out of my 10GB of my root folder. What do you guys suggest?
[19:33] <bonjoyee> abhinav: g++ filename.cpp
[19:33] <abhinav> hello.cpp
[19:33] <gordonjcp> JJ_: if you look in your mailserver documentation it'll probably tell you how to use something similar
[19:34] <GuyCanada> meganerdca, i dont see different selections for hdmi etc in my sound preferences
[19:34] <meganerdca> rypervenche: I just do the single partition install myself
[19:34] <JJ_> I want it so I do not send Windows Viruses to other machines.
[19:34] <JJ_> By accident.
[19:34] <ashmew2> abhinav
[19:34] <aeon-ltd> rypervenche: 2nd one, reinstalls are nicer, swaps can be kept between reinstalled and used by multiple OSes
[19:34] <abhinav> bonjoy and ayecee :awesome! i ll try that. thanks
[19:34] <gordonjcp> JJ_: it's probably not in any way useful unless you're running a mailserver
[19:34] <meganerdca> GuyCanada: on the output tab there is a drop down list called connector
[19:34] <gordonjcp> JJ_: that's about the only time you'd be able to make much sensible use of an antivirus program on Linux
[19:34] <JJ_> Oh?
[19:35] <rypervenche> aeon-ltd: Then how large should I make my / folder?
[19:35] <ashmew2> abhinav: do a g++ hello.cpp
[19:35] <ashmew2> after that do a ./a.out
[19:35] <JJ_> Ok...Thanks.
[19:35] <gordonjcp> JJ_: I guess you could scan files stored on disk somewhere
[19:35] <GuyCanada> meganerdca, i dont see hdmi in that dropdown list, thanks tho.
[19:35] <ashmew2> JJ: Windows viruses will work only if you have wine installed most of the time IMO
[19:35] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: even then it's a faff
[19:36] <gordonjcp> you've got to really work at it to get the crappy viruses to run under Wine, they're so badly written
[19:36] <abhinav> bonjoy: hey, i did what u said but dont see anything happening
[19:36] <meganerdca> rypervenche: I am not a fan of multiboot, I am really good at backing my data up, so the headaches of multiple partitions are not at all balanced with the benfits for me.  This is very much a YMMV kind of thing.  It really depends on your workflow
[19:36] <JJ_> Ok, another thing. Would a windows virus that requires downloading that normally downloads itself onto a windows computer, download itself automatically on Linux?
[19:36] <saibot> hello
[19:36] <aeon-ltd> rypervenche: 8/12-15gb if you don't like installing a lot of stuff,
[19:36] <ayecee> JJ_: no
[19:36] <GuyCanada> meganerdca, any idea why hdmi wouldnt show up in that list?
[19:36] <meganerdca> GuyCanada: sorry, hardware tab\, profile list
[19:37] <saibot> How can I print comments with the Document Viewer ?
[19:37] <gordonjcp> JJ_: that depends; most of them require some sort of user interaction on Windows
[19:37] <bonjoyee> abhinav: after you do that you will find a file named a.out?
[19:37] <abhinav> in the same dir?
[19:37] <bonjoyee> yes
[19:37] <JJ_> Really?
[19:37] <bonjoyee> thats the executable....run it by doing ./a.out
[19:37] <gordonjcp> JJ_: even sites that attempt to trick you into downloading malware generally don't work right on Linux
[19:37] <ashmew2> gordonjcp: ive had viruses trying to hijack my Counter Strike 1.6 running under wine
[19:37] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: that's a remote exploit though
[19:37] <GuyCanada> meganerdca, dont see hdmi in there anywhere either?
[19:38] <abhinav> bonjoyee:k. thnks
[19:38] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: you get that in *anything* that runs a service
[19:38] <rypervenche> meganerdca: aeon-ltd: Well, I don't use multiple OSes....if I had to reinstall I would basically have to backup my /home folder then replace it once I'm done, right?
[19:38] <ashmew2> gordonjcp: Far less likely on linux
[19:38] <GuyCanada> meganderca, i get hdmi sound output tho so it should be here somewhere. the problem is i get hdmi sound AND internal speaker sound
[19:38] <ashmew2> gordonjcp: all the commands it was typing in the CS chat window was Windows
[19:38] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: yup
[19:38] <pider> problem with my bluetooth, will not turn on, when I click on bluetooth-icon it says it is on and when I click on propoties this window pops up an nothing happends : http://bildr.no/view/853077
[19:39] <meganerdca> rypervenche: thats what I do.  Actually I only have a couple of folders that I care about, but basically yes
[19:39] <aeon-ltd> rypervenche: yeah not a huge job, but if you're going to be tweaking installs (trying new OSes etc) then it saves time
[19:39] <bdamos> has anybody recently installed ubuntu server edition (10.04) with no configuration on postfix? i'm getting a postfix directory error when trying to restart my networking process
[19:39] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: you used to get a Windows virus that attacked IIS and sent a big long bogus path in, requesting something like http://www.gjcp.net/../../../../../windows/system/cmd.exe
[19:39] <rypervenche> Ahhh I see, thank you very much meganerdca and aeon-ltd ^^
[19:39] <meganerdca> GuyCanada: for me it is called "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output
[19:39] <JJ_> I see....one sec.
[19:40] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: as an interesting aside, you could often browse machines that were attacking you like that with samba, by firing in //attackers.hostname/ and poking around
[19:40] <GuyCanada> meganerdcd, i have digital stero duplex(iec958) and digita stereo(iec958)ouput+analog output
[19:41] <BluesKaj> GuyCanada, check your multimedia settings , the hdmi should be listed under phonon
[19:41] <meganerdca> GuyCanada: what device is providing HDMI for you?  I am using an Intel integrated GPU
[19:41] <ThinkT510> !server | bdamos
[19:41] <ashmew2> gordonjcp: yeah obviously...who said Linux cant be hacked..its just that its not really concentrated on
[19:41] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: well, if you leave a gap someone will sneak in
[19:41] <meganerdca> BluesKaj: phonon is KDE
[19:41] <GuyCanada> meganerdca, im not sure is there an easy way to check?
[19:41] <meganerdca> lspci |grep VGA
[19:41] <naomi_> How do I do euro signs or ctrl alt my vowels to do accents etc?
[19:41] <GuyCanada> blueskaj, what exactly does that mean? where are multimaedia settings located?
[19:41] <BluesKaj> meganerdca, oh , too bad :(
[19:41] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: you can steal a bank's armoured truck, if they leave it with the door open
[19:42] <rypervenche> I'm installing Ubuntu 10.10 on an old computer, but it doesn't have a wireless card. How can I bridge my connection with an ethernet cable from my laptop?
[19:42] <BluesKaj> GuyCanada, sry < Iwon't interrupt again
[19:42] <v__v> gordonjcp, it still won't be easy actually. the doors might be guarded.
[19:42] <pider> dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/586977/
[19:42] <GuyCanada> blueskaj, no its fine i appreciate any help. I dont understand what your suggestion is tho
[19:43] <meganerdca> rypervenche: brctl
[19:43] <v__v> rypervenche, you can use a wireless adapter in that case
[19:43] <pider> and  http://paste.ubuntu.com/586978/
[19:43] <bonjoyee> rypervenche: using network manager on laptop?
[19:43] <meganerdca> rypervenche: brctl addbr br0
[19:43] <GuyCanada> meganderdca, i think i may have figured it out, im gonna test it
[19:43] <GuyCanada> meganerdca, thanks for the help
[19:43] <rypervenche> v__v: I have one, but first I want to install ndiswrapper, and I'd rather not hassel with getting the deb file for it.
[19:43] <BluesKaj> everything's changed so much since i used gnome, GuyCanada , just ignore me ..I use kde desktop, I forget what desktop uses what apps sometimes
[19:43] <rypervenche> bonjoyee: I am.
[19:44] <gordonjcp> v__v: you'd be amazed what turning up in a white van, wearing a high-vis jacket and looking annoyed can do
[19:44] <meganerdca> rypervenche: then "brctl addif br0 eth0 wlan0"
[19:44] <bonjoyee> rypervenche: then simply do edit conn> ipv4> shared with othres...
[19:44] <rcmaehl> How do I connect to wifi from terminal?
[19:44] <gordonjcp> v__v: a fluorescent yellow jacket and a pair of rigger boots is basically a comprehensive invisibility cloak
[19:44] <jiltdil> channel for puppy linux?
[19:45] <rypervenche> Ok, thanks all of you :)
[19:45] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: you probably want to lool at iwconfig, and possibly wpa_passphrase and wpa_supplicant if there is WPA encryption
[19:45] <ddbt_nl> is it possible to use a webcam with empathy while being logged on to msn?
[19:45] <v__v> gordonjcp : vow! am hoping you haven't tried that. that wud rather be a highlighting outfit than giving you invisibilty
[19:45] <rcmaehl> meganerdca: idk how to connect with iwconfig but I know how to scan
[19:45] <ashmew2> gordonjcp: yep true
[19:45] <naomi_> How do I disable/uninstall my built in webcam on here?
[19:45] <genii-around> jiltdil: Pretty sure it's just #puppylinux
[19:46] <jiltdil> ok thanx
[19:46] <andreylosev> I got a usb wifi adapter, plugged it in, connected to a network, everything worked fine. After rebooting, it appears to connect but I can not send or receive any data. How can I fix this?
[19:46] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: well, if there is no encryption, just a "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <YOURESSID>" should do the trick
[19:46] <v__v> andreylosev, how are you here? :\
[19:46] <cdr> let's say firefox profile manager deleted a profile I didn't tell it to - how can I recover the profile directory, if that's even possible?
[19:46] <andreylosev> I have two computers :)
[19:46] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: then "sudo dhclient wlan0", assuming that wlan0 is your wireless interface.
[19:46] <gordonjcp> v__v: this is straying dangerously close to off-topic
[19:47] <BluesKaj> andreylosev, which wifi adapter ?
[19:47] <rcmaehl> meganerdca: what if the encyrption is wpa2?
[19:47] <gordonjcp> v__v: you'd be amazed where you can just walk on site because you are wearing high-vis and look like you're supposed to be there
[19:47] <jiltdil> genii-around: actuall i i have some installation problem i have an iso on my host and want to install it on my guest virtual box so on universal installer which ooption i have to choose i am confused
[19:47] <v__v> andreylosev, haha alright. check your ethernet settings and reset your encryption once
[19:47] <rcmaehl> meganerdca: also what if the essid has a space
[19:47] <andreylosev> some random usb adapter
[19:47] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: then generate a config file with wpa_passphrase "wpa_passphrase essid passphrase > essid.conf"
[19:48] <v__v> gordonjcp, i have no clue why this started. so am pretty sure am on topic :p
[19:48] <genii-around> jiltdil: virtualisation is not my specialty, sorry
[19:48] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: that filename is arbitrary, I just used essid.conf so I can keep track of more than one easily
[19:48] <andreylosev> BluesKaj and v__v : it's a tp-link tl-wn722n
[19:48] <gordonjcp> v__v: it's pen-testing.  Yeah.  So, security, which brings us back round to viruses.  Yeah, that sounds about right
[19:48] <v__v> gordonjcp, i sense sarcasm in it. :\
[19:48] <ashmew2> gordonjcp: easy there :D
[19:48] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: then "sudo wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlan0 -c /path/to/essid.conf"
[19:48] <naomi_> Anyone know how to disable/uninstall a built in webcam?
[19:49] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: "sudo dhclient wlan0"
[19:49] <andreylosev> it worked before rebooting, and now it appears to connect in the networkmanager applet but won't ping the router
[19:49] <bonjoyee> naomi_: may be by blacklisting the module?
[19:49] <sparch> I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, Ubuntu, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Canonical Linux.
[19:49] <ashmew2> naomi_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1211371 maybe
[19:49] <ddbt_nl> is it possible to use a webcam with empathy while being logged on to msn?
[19:49] <naomi_> No idea what that even means bonjo, i'm a noob with this. only using it 2 days.
[19:50] <naomi_> thanks ash i'll read through it now.
[19:50] <Pici> sparch: Stop that.
[19:50] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: if the essid has a space, just enclose it in quotes, like "

[19:51] <earthmeLon> I've had my laptop connected to an external VGA monitor for a while now.  Today it's not detecting the display.  The display is plugged into the computer and is turned on.  Can someone help me diagnose what's going wrong so that I can get my secondary screen working.   I use separate X screens (which is how I want it).
[19:51] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: if there is wpa, use the wpa_supplicant line instead of iwconfig
[19:51] <JJ_> Ok. I am back. Now, a follow to the Windows auto-download virus; if I didi enounter such a thing, and it tried to start something, should I be concerned that although it did not execute on Linux, it is stored on my system and infecting others' windows computers?
[19:51] <JJ_> did*
[19:51] <JJ_> infecting others by e-mail?*
[19:51] <ayecee> JJ_: how would it infect others' windows computers if it's not executing?
[19:51] <earthmeLon> rcmaehl, if you are using wpa_supplicant, you must REMOVE network-manager.  wpa_supplicant will not work if network-manager is installed.
[19:52] <rcmaehl> kk
[19:52] <meganerdca> JJ_: it can only infect other computers if they connect to you via samba, http, or you email them the infected file
[19:52] <saibot> How can I print comments with the Document Viewer ?
[19:52] <earthmeLon> rcmaehl, Took me a few hours to realize how serious people were when they said that :P
[19:52] <rbil> my system doesn't see the Wacom tabletwhen I plug it in
[19:52] <wng> Does anyone know why the on-board eSATA on a Intel DX58SO2 board wouldn't work? When my drive is plugged in on boot ubuntu drops to a busybox shell, when it's hotplugged no new drives show up and no information is in dmesg
[19:52] <airstrike> hi. i have a huge memory leak going on right now. how can i find out what's causing it?
[19:52] <airstrike> i just started the computer
[19:52] <meganerdca> JJ_: it just does not magically jump from computer to computer
[19:52] <rcmaehl> earthmeLon: lol
[19:52] <UlTERiOR_> Hello, a bit of a noob question; I am presently trying to connect to a windows 2003 telnet server from my urxvt; apparently though my backspace is not correctly recognised, anybody knows what terminal settings i have to change?
[19:52] <ayecee> airstrike: what leads you to believe that it's a memory leak?
[19:52] <meganerdca> airstrike: I like atop and htop
[19:52] <JJ_> Oh....Ok....so the file would just sit there collecting dust then...
[19:53] <ayecee> UlTERiOR_: what happens when you hit backspace?
[19:53] <airstrike> ayecee, memory usage is escalating fast
[19:53] <airstrike> nothing open
[19:53] <airstrike> it could be a lot of processes being spawned too
[19:53] <UlTERiOR_> ayecee: apparently it seems to be a 'null' character or such
[19:53] <ayecee> airstrike: where are you seeing this? using what tool?
[19:53] <airstrike> system monitor
[19:53] <meganerdca> airstrike: htop can easily sort by memory usage.  The default system monitor can also sort by memory usage
[19:53] <ohir> airstrike: you can use top on console or sysmon applet to track memory hog
[19:53] <UlTERiOR_> ayacee: I had no problems connecting from a windows client..
[19:54] <ayecee> airstrike: it's common for memory usage to go up as the disk cache fills. It's not a bad thing.
[19:54] <wng> UlTERiOR_: might need to  use Backspace = ^?
[19:54] <ayecee> UlTERiOR_: a null character? what does it look like on screen?
[19:54] <bonjoyee> jj_	if you feel so insecure about the file you could always check it up with http://www.virustotal.com/
[19:54] <airstrike> ayecee, i -just- started the session
[19:54] <airstrike> and it's at 400mb
[19:54] <airstrike> was at 300mb when i first asked the question
[19:54] <airstrike> i only have about 1.5gb left :P
[19:54] <andreylosev> v__v and BluesKaj any ideas?
[19:54] <JJ_> Ok, well, if the virus did not execute, and just collecting dust in my file system, could it use my machine as a piggy back if they connected to my system through HTTP?
[19:54] <UlTERiOR_> ayecee: a square with '07' in it vertically
[19:54] <ayecee> airstrike: right, that's normal. unused memory is wasted memory, so the unused memory is used to cache files from disk.
[19:55] <UlTERiOR_> ayacee: apparrently not in my character set
[19:55] <JJ_> If a person connected though my system via HTTP?*
[19:55] <ayecee> airstrike: when the memory is needed, the memory is returned from cache.
[19:55] <wng> airstrike: what's the output of free -m, pay attention the the -/+ buffers/cache line
[19:55] <airstrike> ayecee, is it normal to have the 'loading' cursor on all the time?
[19:55] <naomi_> I typed "lsusb" in terminal and got the usb id number. then typed "dmesg | grep" and the number to find the driver. now how do i blacklist it??
[19:55] <airstrike> and a missing taskbar?
[19:55] <bonjoyee> airstrike: 400mb is not that bad...let it settle down...i have been using ubuntu without swap and just 2gb of ram....
[19:55] <ayecee> airstrike: no, that's not normal.
[19:55] <rcmaehl> Ubuntu really needs to have an easy way for any user to change the swapiness level
[19:56] <airstrike> gvfsd is using 100mb
[19:56] <UlTERiOR_> hm, maybe i shoud try strict vt100 emulation
[19:56] <ohir> airstrike: top will give you detail how much memory your disk cache uses. You can also use 'processes' tab in sysmon
[19:56] <rcmaehl> I'm actually surprised that a large amount of linux users don't know what swapiness is.
[19:56] <airstrike> gvfsd-trash is eating my computer
[19:57] <andreylosev> I got a usb wifi (tp-link tl-wn722n) adapter, plugged it in, connected to a network, everything worked fine. After rebooting, it appears to connect but I can not send or receive any data including pinging the router. How can I fix this?
[19:57] <ayecee> rcmaehl: i think that the average user should not need to know that.
[19:57] <airstrike> gvfsd-trash is at 80% CPU usage and gvfsd is using more memory every second
[19:57] <v__v> andreylosev, can you do a ifconfig and check ?
[19:57] <ayecee> andreylosev: does it work if you unplug the wifi and reconnect it?
[19:57] <ayecee> airstrike: does it do the same thing after another reboot?
[19:57] <andreylosev> ayecee, no it doesn't
[19:57] <JJ_> Here is another question, at the time of installing Ubuntu, what does home file encryption do? Does it protect against Windows virus downloads?
[19:57] <airstrike> and pretty much every process is in the 'poll_schedule_timeout' waiting channel
[19:57] <airstrike> ayecee, it did twice
[19:58] <ayecee> JJ_: no, it protects against someone who makes off with your computer
[19:58] <rcmaehl> JJ_: it prevents people on live cd's from seeing your files
[19:58] <meganerdca> JJ_: all it does is protect files in your home folder from someone stealing your laptop or computer.
[19:58] <meganerdca> JJ_: and that only works if you were logged out when the machine was taken
[19:58] <JJ_> Ok.
[19:58] <ayecee> airstrike: hmm. does the same thing happen if you log in as a different user?
[19:58] <JJ_> Thanks
[19:59] <airstrike> i have no other users
[19:59] <gordonjcp> JJ_: home directory encryption is really useful if you find modern disk drives too fast
[19:59] <ayecee> airstrike: could you make a user to test with?
[19:59] <airstrike> i guess
[19:59] <gordonjcp> JJ_: if you long for the days of 5.25" 3600RPM RLL drives, disk encryption is going to be right up your street
[19:59] <naomi_> Anyone, help with blacklisting a driver? No idea how to do it.
[19:59] <bonjoyee> airstrike: check "open files" in the processes tab in system mon..for that process...
[19:59] <ayecee> airstrike: the reason I ask is that I'm pretty sure gvfsd is per-session, so if it doesn't happen with another user, it's likely some corruption in your user files rather than a system issue
[19:59] <mouse> Does anyone have anyone have experience with evolution and yahoo mail?  I tried to setup my sister's mail with the same settings as my own and it keeps giving authentication errors.  I also tried pop.mail.yahoo.com, pop.mail.yahoo.com, imap.mail.yahoo.com each with and without .plus and ports 995 and 993 and nothing worked.  Any suggestions?
[20:00] <UlTERiOR_> hm, changing escape behavior kind of solved it ;p pretty obvious
[20:00] <yofel> naomi_: which one?
[20:00] <airstrike> going to logout and login with 'guest'
[20:00] <airstrike> brb
[20:00] <airstrike> bonjoyee, hmmm
[20:00] <v__v> andreylosev, had you connected the same adapater to some other OS system?
[20:00] <airstrike> i have -lots- of @/dbus-vfs-daemon/socket-XXXXXX open
[20:00] <airstrike> more than a thousand
[20:01] <yofel> naomi_: usually it's: echo "blacklist <module>" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/custom_blacklist.conf
[20:01] <yofel> naomi_: where you replace <module> with the name of the driver you want to blacklist
[20:01] <neurochrome> hey folks, having a 'mare trying to clean my applications menu.  I've done a fresh install, mounting my separate home partition at the time, and there  are a load of surplus menu entries.  I've tried removing ~/.config/menu/applications.menu and that does nothing... any ideas?
[20:01] <meganerdca> mouse: ports 995 and 993 are for encypted ssl sessions, make sure that is checked
[20:01] <bonjoyee> airstrike: i dont know what to make of it..but am sure someone here does...
[20:01] <mouse> meganerdca, It was.
[20:01] <neurochrome> most of the old unused, or manually installed apps have no taken up home in  "OTHER".  I cannot seem to refresh my menu to show only stuff that is installed
[20:01] <BluesKaj> andreylosev,  your driver is the rt73usb , which can be found here, http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2
[20:02] <airstrike> i believe nautilus is to blame
[20:02] <BluesKaj> gotta go ..bbl
[20:02] <airstrike> i did update it a little ago
[20:02] <naomi_> yofel: i typed "lsusb" and got the id number for my webcam. then typed "dmeg | grep <id number>" and it came up "Found 1.00 Device Video Webcam" what do i do now?
[20:02] <andreylosev> http://pastebin.com/rykS2zgi
[20:02] <meganerdca> gordonjcp: I am on a machine right now with an encrypted home folder, the performance is not that bad.
[20:02] <airstrike> except i hadn't logged out, so maybe it's just causing this for the first time now
[20:02] <airstrike> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1512193.html
[20:02] <airstrike> sounds like me
[20:02] <andreylosev> I transferred the output via flash drive :)
[20:03] <yofel> naomi_: that doesn't tell us the driver though, and I'm not sure how to get it from just that information :/
[20:03] <Khisanth> mouse: same version of Evolution?
[20:03] <naomi_> umm. so how do i find out the driver?
[20:03] <gordonjcp> meganerdca: I tried it just to see how bad it was, it made the machine unusable
[20:03] <Karen_m> With ext4, do you need to setup a block size?  For example, this drive is only going to hold very large files.  I think it will say block size is 4k, but does ext4 dynamically  use bigger blocksizes or something?
[20:03] <gordonjcp> meganerdca: although, I mostly do audio recording, so that really really hammers the disks
[20:03] <andreylosev> BluesKaj, so which one do I download?
[20:04] <meganerdca> gordonjcp: I keep my Virtualbox and VMware disk images inside the encrypted folder, it is not that bad
[20:04] <earthmeLon> Detect Displays under nvidia settings is not detecting my VGA monitor connected to my laptop.  Until today, I've had no problems.  I've tried rebooting.  Nothing is working v_v
[20:04] <yofel> naomi_: someone else might have a better idea, but 'lsmod' will show loaded drivers, you can then run 'modinfo <driver>' for everyone and see what sounds like the one you need
[20:04] <andreylosev> nvm found it
[20:04] <mouse> Khisanth, Good question.  I didn't check but mine and her's should both be up to date since I ran system update for her myself.
[20:04] <airstrike> okay, so i'm 90% sure this is caused by me trying to install nautilus elementary first, then updating nautilus later
[20:04] <airstrike> how can i fix this mess?
[20:05] <meganerdca> gordonjcp: I do that as well.  My laptop has never done more than 8 tracks at a time so still not an issue for me.
[20:05] <v__v> andreylosev, had you connected it to some other OS system in your reboot phase?
[20:05] <andreylosev> nope
[20:05] <naomi_> yofel: v4l1_compat            15495  2 uvcvideo,videodev is this it?
[20:05] <neurochrome> anyone know how to make the application show only installed apps
[20:05] <rjb1> trying to config crossover connection, both nm-applet display disconnected grey
[20:06] <bonjoyee> rjb1: you need to give them static ips...or have dhcp server on one of them...
[20:06] <v__v> andreylosev, updating the drivers should help
[20:06] <meganerdca> neurochrome: dpkg --get-selections |grep install
[20:06] <mouse> I had a similar problem trying to setup my grandpa's mail client too.  It took about half an hour before I found the right combination of settings.  I just can't remember them right now.
[20:06] <yofel> naomi_: that's a driver for video for linux v1 input, but it's used by 2 other driver, so that's probably not it
[20:06] <rjb1> bonjoyee how can i install dhcp server?
[20:06] <yofel> naomi_: what's using uvcvideo and videodev?
[20:07] <rbil> anyone help with wacom tablet?
[20:07] <bonjoyee> rjb1: dont need it if you are not going to use it often...
[20:07] <neurochrome> meganerdca, sorry, worded that badly, I want my 'applications menu' to only show installed apps
[20:07] <JJ_> Ok, another question, Windows auto-download virues, unless I had Wine on my system, would such a virus download automatically on Linux?
[20:07] <naomi_> yofel: videodev               40518  1 uvcvideo & v4l2_compat_ioctl32    11892  1 videodev. I really dont even know what any of these things mean
[20:07] <neurochrome> meganerdca, at present it shows old entries and cruft
[20:07] <v__v> brb
[20:08] <meganerdca> neurochrome: I thought it did that by default :)
[20:08] <neurochrome> meganerdca, not when you have a very old home partition that has done many releases
[20:08] <ThinkT510> naomi_: uvc is the driver for webcams
[20:08] <momo21> Some shortcut keys such as ctrl+alt+d to minimize all windows do not always work, any ideas why? I am using ubuntu 10.10
[20:08] <meganerdca> neurochrome: oh, I only have this problem with stuff I have added by hand
[20:08] <rjb1> bonjoyee: dhcp3-server, action "start" failed
[20:08] <neurochrome> meganerdca, that too
[20:08] <naomi_> yofel: uvcvideo               62819  0  this?
[20:08] <bonjoyee> rjb1: just give both the computers private static ips  in the same subnet..
[20:08] <meganerdca> neurochrome: you could replace the menu with the default one, I seem to remember having to do this once when I messed it up by hand
[20:09] <vanillaslice> hello

[20:09] <botcity> rbil: ask
[20:09] <neurochrome> meganerdca, hmmm, you'd have thought removing ~/.config/menu/ would have been all you need to do
[20:09] <rbil> Ubuntu doesn't seem to see it
[20:09] <Khisanth> mouse: well I just set it up a couple of days ago using the info on the Wikipedia page :)
[20:10] <meganerdca> vanillaslice: that is a complicated question, can you be more specific
[20:10] <Khisanth> mouse: using imap
[20:10] <bonjoyee> rjb1: no...then use the "shared to others" function of network manager...
[20:10] <botcity> rbil: whats the model
[20:10] <rjb1> bonjoyee: i have wifi, i want to share internet connection and files
[20:10] <mouse> Khisanth, Hmm let me look up wiki.

[20:11] <rbil> ubuntu doesn't see my Bamboo Pen & Touch tablet, please someone help
[20:12] <bonjoyee> rjb1: all that in network manager...
[20:12] <meganerdca> neurochrome: you would think
[20:12] <naomi_> i typed "modinfo uvcvideo" and a load of things popped up about the usb video class driver, but i dont know what the driver is exactly or how to blacklist it.
[20:12] <erUSUL> !blacklist | naomi_
[20:12] <meganerdca> neurochrome: I seem to remember having to copy some files from /etc/skel or something like that
[20:12] <rbil> I've read all  I can find, but getting no answers
[20:12] <rjb1> bonjoyee: ok done, what should i do in my desktop?
[20:12] <neurochrome> meganerdca, hmmm
[20:12] <botcity> rbil: ? they should work fine ! you know how to use the terminal ?
[20:13] <rbil> It should just work
[20:13] <rbil> yes of course, can use terminal
[20:13] <bonjoyee> rjb1: nothing ..just set the ethernet iface to auto (dhcp)
[20:13] <naomi_> Ok but i dont know what the module name is?
[20:13] <erUSUL> naomi_: so ... « echo "uvcvideo" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf »
[20:13] <rbil> botcity: appreciate any help u can offer
[20:13] <rjb1> bonjoyee: i did that but it doesnt display the wired connection option
[20:14] <rbil> have compiz running if that makes any difference botcity
[20:14] <bonjoyee> rjb1: where?
[20:14] <rjb1> bonjoyee: nm-applet
[20:14] <erUSUL> naomi_: that would be uvcvideo; modinfo takes a module name as parameter
[20:14] <bonjoyee> rjb1: i mean...what computer?
[20:15] <rjb1> bonjoyee: both pcs display wired network disconnected grey
[20:15] <bonjoyee> rjb1: have you put in the cable?
[20:15] <naomi_> I pasted what you typed and it asked for my pw, then it just camr up "uvcvideo" underneath. is that it?
[20:15] <rbil> botcity: dmesg doesn't report that wacom tablet is even connected
[20:15] <naomi_> came.*
[20:15] <rjb1> bonjoyee: yes
[20:16] <botcity> rbil: what happens when you connect the tablet ..  and your running t ail -f /var/log/messages ??
[20:16] <rjb1> bonjoyee: tried the cable with another pc and it works
[20:16] <bonjoyee> rjb1: are the ethernet devices on both computers detected and working?
[20:16] <rbil> new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4 botcity

[20:19] <Witchsong> I need some help - I have two versions of the NVIDIA driver installed, 260.19.06 and 260.19.36, where the first is from the nvidia-current package and the other I installed with NVIDIAs installer. Now an application has issues starting up because it uses files from both versions and that causes a mismatch.
[20:19] <rbil> botcity: wacom driver installed according to synaptic:  1:0.10.5
[20:20] <j5> anyone know why my firefox flash is messed up? lots of white blocks and artifacts appear on most flash
[20:21] <rbil> botcity: should I try installing the driver? or do I need to do something else to activate it? is it hotpluggable?
[20:21] <botcity> rbil: give me a minute i will look up something !
[20:21] <rbil> botcity: thanks
[20:21] <botcity> rbil:  it should work out of the box !
[20:22] <rbil> going to try and reinstall and see what happens. do u think compiz could interfer with it?
[20:23] <botcity> rbil: i have compiz running too so no. but you never know!
[20:24] <rbil> botcity: should it move the pointer around when i move my finger on the tablet?
[20:25] <rbil> doesn't do anything
[20:25] <rbil> but does light up when plugged in
[20:25] <metap0d> Hi everybody, I'd like to try 10.04.02 and was wondering how stable the 64 bit release is? I notice the site recommends 32 bit ... but I'd like the extra performance
[20:25] <rbil> will having mouse also attached interfer? only way i can use computer until i get this tablet working
[20:25] <soop> rbil: just reattached to my screen ... if you're talking bamboo tablets ... mine was working, then one day it wasnt
[20:25] <soop> i havent troubleshooted it yet but i know the tablet still works
[20:26] <soop> metap0d: chances are good you won't notice a difference unless your hosting vm's etc
[20:26] <rbil> soop: did u have to do anything other than plug in to get it working?
[20:26] <rbil> are u using Lucid
[20:27] <soop> rbil: nope ... it  pretty much worked out of the box
[20:27] <cylob> whens the next ubuntu release?
[20:27] <soop> rbil: i did have to enable it in ubuntu
[20:27] <soop> err not ubuntu i mean "gimp"
[20:27] <rbil> soop: how do u enable it?
[20:27] <metap0d> soop: Will I not be losing out on some memory and 64bit processing in a select few applications?
[20:29] <ThinkT510> !11.04 | cylob

[20:30] <Zpix> hi all
[20:31] <elias> is there a way to get the 10.10 for purchase items in the 11.04 software center?
[20:31] <Zpix> I have to install windows on my system, now I just have ubuntu, can I install windows inside it?
[20:31] <Zpix> I have 100 GB free now
[20:31] <nabeel> Is it possible to log in to this channel using any IRC client like mIRC for Windows?
[20:31] <ThinkT510> elias: tried asking in #ubuntu+1?
[20:31] <elias> ThinkT510: thanks, will do so
[20:32] <ThinkT510> nabeel: yes
[20:32] <nabeel> ThinkT510: Thanx :)
[20:33] <ThinkT510> Zpix: you could dualboot, or install windows in a vm like virtualbox
[20:33] <botcity> rbil: what colour light lights up should be white until touched by pen ? also you should br getting from messages>>  input: Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Pen as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb7/7-1/7-1:1.0/input/input17  as for defective it is possible i guess , have you tried a reboot with it pluged in?
[20:34] <Hex_101> Is it normal for a laptop to show this on boot up (terminal stopped working [i.e. /usr/bin/bash/screen] after a reboot this happens]) http://cl.ly/5ayC
[20:35] <earthmeLon> By adding servers to resolv.conf, I am adding DNS servers that I will use to attempt to get an ip, correct?
[20:35] <ayecee> Hex_101: nope, taht's not normal.
[20:35] <Hex_101> what could hav caused it? no upgrades, no recent changes really that i can think of
[20:35] <ayecee> Hex_101: one can only speculate.
[20:36] <ayecee> Hex_101: however, powering off the computer, waiting a few ticks, then powering it on, may resolve it.
[20:36] <Hex_101> apparently 7 reboots did it, just got a text..
[20:36] <Hex_101> lol x
[20:36] <alex86> ThinkT510: can`t install from the terminal. Package 'skype' has no installation candidate
[20:36] <Hex_101> xD
[20:36] <Zpix> ThinkT510: if i wanna install windows dualboot, I have to reinstall ubuntu?
[20:37] <ayecee> Zpix: no, but it's certainly easier that way

[20:45] <mickster04> claudio_: which would shut down the pc? what do you mean it won't shuitdown?
[20:45] <rbil> botcity: usb2
[20:46] <rbil> any idea how to force a hotplug on commandline?

[20:46] <mickster04> sorry claw claudio disappeared
[20:47] <raido_> claw:
[20:47] <botcity> rbil: witch guide did you use ?
[20:47] <gordonjcp> is there some sort of option I can set so that when I install a package it automatically pulls in all the relevent -dev packages too?
[20:48] <ayecee> gordonjcp: not quite the same, but apt-get builddep will install all the dev packages necessary to compile a particular package
[20:48] <raido_> gordonjcp: only if the package has a "-dev" version. Otherwise, no, there is no general option for that.
[20:49] <gordonjcp> ayecee: yes, but the app I'm working on isn't packaged for Ubuntu
[20:49] <rbil> botcity: I looked at a number. but u say it should work out of thebox
[20:49] <rbil> the guides are confusing
[20:49] <rbil> they talk of different versions of Ubuntu, etc.
[20:50] <UlTERiOR_> rbil: add to /etc/modules
[20:50] <rbil> tried rewriting 10-wacom.conf file, but that didn't make a difference
[20:50] <rbil> UlTERiOR_: how?
[20:51] <rbil> what do I add to modules?
[20:51] <rbil> just the word wacom?
[20:51] <UlTERiOR_> just add an alias
[20:52] <rbil> an alias to what?
[20:52] <rbil> sorry, don't understand
[20:52] <UlTERiOR_> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1466770.html
[20:53] <indicator> I cannot set network time for some odd reason. the settings keep changing back to the previous which is so anoying
[20:53] <indicator> how do I fix this properly?
[20:53] <UlTERiOR_> if desired you can just echo wacom >> /etc/modules
[20:53] <UlTERiOR_> although there should be a more elegant solution
[20:53] <genii-around> UlTERiOR_: That won't work. You need write privs there.
[20:54] <genii-around> echo wacom | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
[20:54] <henrique> olá, tenho uma dúvida...quero saber se alguém pode me ajudar?
[20:55] <gordonjcp> can someone confirm the existence of libjack-jackd2-dev in 10.10 please?
[20:55] <henrique> can someone
[20:55] <henrique> give me a help?

[20:56] <JGJones> Greetings - I am wondering if the libavcodec-dev in the repo is the full source code? I mean that can I use this to compile for H263 support etc?
[20:57] <alemanio> Hi
[20:57] <dave50305> Hello
[20:57] <alemanio> I need some help configuring dual monitor in ubuntu 10.10
[20:57] <Dean_000> hola
[20:58] <henrique> ok. obrigado!
[20:58] <ThinkT510> !xrandr | alemanio
[20:58] <gordonjcp> ThinkT510: thankyou
[20:58] <rodd> hi
[20:58] <ThinkT510> gordonjcp: np
[20:58] <hansi_> tach' auch!
[20:59] <rodd> I've tried installing ubuntu through a usb device a zillion times and nothing
[20:59] <rodd> even wasted a couple disks, trying the regular install
[20:59] <gordonjcp> rodd: describe "nothing"
[20:59] <rodd> nothing = black screen
[20:59] <rodd> with blinking cursor
[20:59] <rodd> all the freaking time
[21:00] <rodd> did anyone else have issues installing through usb?
[21:00] <ghostface> Is there a way to configure ls to always default to -p?
[21:00] <gordonjcp> no, I just installed 11.04 from a USB stick last night
[21:00] <alemanio> @ubottu Thanks for the link
[21:00] <gordonjcp> ghostface: alias
[21:00] <rodd> it wasnt installing at all, then i tried unetbootin, I get to its screen but it doesnt load anything on ubuntu
[21:00] <rodd> perhaps its the shitty device of mine
[21:01] <ghostface> gordonjcp: Thanks
[21:01] <rodd> but it was working fine for any other thing
[21:01] <gordonjcp> rodd: I used usb-creator in Arch Linux to put the .iso file onto an 8G USB stick
[21:01] <gordonjcp> rodd: unetbootin is horrible
[21:01] <linxeh> what is wrong with unetbootin ?
[21:01] <alemanio> My question was regarding the panels. Previously in Ubuntu I kept my panels onfy in the primary monitor, but with maverick, the panels are expanded and since the second screen is way bigger is not so practical
[21:01] <gordonjcp> linxeh: it mangles the bootloader
[21:01] <linxeh> I've never had any issue with i
[21:01] <notk0> hello, I get this http://pastebin.com/9gHaRwqC as an error regarding the package manager
[21:01] <dave50305> I have this weird problem; whenever I click on any of the locations from the upperleft menu, the Totem Mediaplayer opens with "Cannot recognize stream". Does someone know how to fix this?
[21:01] <rodd> i tried the usb creator tool within the ubuntu iso
[21:01] <rodd> (on windows)
[21:02] <ThinkT510> dave50305: sounds like you need to install the appropriate codecs
[21:02] <rodd> gordonjcp when did the 11.04 come out
[21:02] <ThinkT510> !codecs | dave50305
[21:02] <gordonjcp> rodd: it's not, it's a nightly
[21:03] <rodd> i see
[21:03] <dave50305> I just want to open a folder
[21:03] <gordonjcp> rodd: it's just about usable, but it has problems
[21:03] <rodd> well ill give it a last try
[21:03] <rodd> if not will go with suse
[21:03] <gordonjcp> rodd: of the "Those whom the gods would seek to destroy they first send mad" ilk
[21:03] <ThinkT510> dave50305: folders are opened with a file manager, not a media player
[21:05] <botcity> rodd i would use unetbootin though i am not sure on the windows compatibility ..
[21:05] <earthmeLon> Computer 'randomly' stopped detecting secondary monitor.    Better than trying to deal with MTP support for the iPad.  Ewww
[21:07] <rodd> botcity well it has a hard drive of 60gb and you can use up to 16gb as a usb device
[21:08] <dave50305> ThinkT510: I left-click "locations" in the upperleft, then I left-click for example "Personal folder" OR "Documents"; then the Totem Mediaplayer appears, not the File Manager. Where/How do I change this? I already looked at "System"->"Preferences"->"Default Applications"
[21:08] <botcity> rodd: ok
[21:08] <rodd> earthmeLon it is good for music, i bought and ipod due to its bigger hdd and it suck
[21:08] <insanity99> hey guys, is it possible to go to a folder in the graphical explorer and then open the terminal in that folder? rather than opening the terminal and going 'cd really-long-directory'
[21:09] <disp0sed> hi guys, sorry I know bad forum but can't find gimp en forum. Anyone has an idea why a barcode image is showing to be CMYK in Photoshop and pure K in Gimp - got it returned from the printers.
[21:09] <insanity99> hey guys, is it possible to go to a folder in the graphical explorer and then open the terminal in that folder? rather than opening the terminal and going 'cd really-long-directory'
[21:09] <jrib> insanity99: sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
[21:10] <insanity99> thanks
[21:10] <ThinkT510> dave50305: is there a file manager option under default applications?
[21:11] <insanity99> jrib, ok installed that how do i use it?
[21:11] <gordonjcp> I think I have to get another disk, and install a wee family of Ubuntus
[21:11] <timposey> I have installed lemon pos but the database does not seem to be connecting.
[21:12] <gordonjcp> what's the oldest version of Ubuntu currently supported?
[21:12] <erUSUL> !6.06
[21:12] <ThinkT510> !8.04
[21:13] <jrib> insanity99: right click in nautilus should have a new option (might require nautilus restart)
[21:13] <hansi_> h3fly ???
[21:14] <insanity99> no i dont see it
[21:15] <dave50305> ThinkT510: No, there unfortunately is not. By the way, I can still open "This Computer" which does show the file manager. I have a guess what caused the problem; I was asked in Ubuntu Netbook Edition if I wanted to open a DVD with Totem by default.
[21:16] <shibboleth> hey guys.  I dual-boot win7 and ubuntu.  Somehow, Win7 was removed from the GRUB menu upon booting.  Is there any easy way to get it back?  Point GRUB to the partition that it's on?
[21:16] <insanity99> jrib, it installed but its not there on right click
[21:17] <ThinkT510> dave50305: i think you're looking under the right place to set the right app, but i'm not too sure (i'm more of an xfce user)
[21:17] <roffe> I'm trying to enable webgl, but it just will not work, does anyone know what is required to get it running?
[21:19] <sevith> I do echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space to turn of ASLR in ubuntu but it returns the value to 2 every time I reboot!
[21:19] <sevith> I want this to be permanent any ideas?
[21:19] <sevith> It realls mucks with my files.
[21:20] <roffe> websites claim webgl isn't supported by my browser, yet I'm positive they are
[21:20] <sevith> :( Anyone
[21:20] <erUSUL> sevith: /etc/sysctl.conf <<
[21:20] <sevith> Roger!
[21:21] <erUSUL> sevith: or you can just put « echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space » in /etc/rc.local
[21:21] <nit-wit> roffe, http://guciek.net/en/js/webgl_intel
[21:21] <sevith> erUSUL, Thought about that one..
[21:22] <sevith> erUSUL, Im not familiar with this sys conf file. Would i just add this line into the bottom ? randomize_va_space = 0?
[21:22] <neurochrome> omg I think I'm about to shove this laptop straight out the window... is there a way to remove all menu entries in the main menu (applications) and start again?
[21:22] <erUSUL> sevith: afaics --> kernel.randomize_va_space = 0
[21:23] <neurochrome> for some reason my menu remembers old entries from a past install, and I've done everything I can think of to purge it
[21:23] <crischan> hey, i updated my 10.10 yesterday and today i get "/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_random_ilt" when trying to run eclipse or wxpython. is that a known problem?
[21:23] <dave50305> ThinkT510: I just tried reinstalling Totem. When it was removed, the file manager came up just as normal. But after reinstall it reverted back to opening "Locations" with it :S
[21:23] <sevith> erUSUL, Thx again:) Your always helpful.
[21:23] <neurochrome> short of manually removing everything and manually reinserting... I'm about done with this sh**
[21:24] <erUSUL> sevith: no problem
[21:25] <shibboleth> hey guys.  I dual-boot win7 and ubuntu.  Somehow, Win7 was  removed from the GRUB menu upon booting.  Is there any easy  way to get it back?  Point GRUB to the partition that it's  on?
[21:25] <ThinkT510> dave50305: sorry, i never use totem, i prefer vlc, also i use xfce, so perhaps somebody with gnome experience can help you in this channel
[21:25] <stram> hi there, i have an NFS mount with noac and lock flags, yet there still seems to be some degree of file system caching going on... the md5sums of files on the nfs server and nfs client do not match up until the nfs client remounts the nfs share. any hints?
[21:26] <sevith> Dude somone should REALLY make a keyboard where the caps button is...somewhere I dont hit it all the damn time
[21:26] <sevith> the Caps button is the worst places button on the keyboard
[21:26] <sevith> placed*
[21:26] <erUSUL> sevith: just swap the caps and control keys
[21:26] <dave50305> ThinkT510: Ok, thanks for your time.
[21:27] <sevith> erUSUL, which file ?
[21:27] <area51pilot> why would I be able to print to a one network printer and not another
[21:27] <sevith> erUSUL, You work on the ubuntu team or some sh1t?
[21:27] <neurochrome> jesus, such a simple task and yet nowhere/no-one can help me with it....
[21:27] <erUSUL> sevith: System>Preferences>Keyboard|Layout options
[21:27] <sevith> erUSUL, You know everything lol
[21:27] <erUSUL> sevith: no :)
[21:27] <sevith> erUSUL, Alright Ill check it out :) Thanks again lol (You probably get sick of me asking retarded q's lol)
[21:28] <erUSUL> sevith: no problem at all ;P
[21:28] <sevith> :)
[21:29] <bibic682> finally.....10.10 the hard way :)
[21:29] <ThinkT510> !yay | bibic682
[21:31] <neurochrome> isn't sudo apt-get install --purge --reinstall gnome-panel supposed to reset it?
[21:31] <neurochrome> how come my custom layout remains intact?
[21:31] <bibic682> had to upgrade from 9.04 to edit and keep 16 bit color depth on my SLOW 9250ati pci video adapter. Straight install to 10.10 defaults to 24 bit slowing me down!!!
[21:32] <erUSUL> !panels
[21:32] <neurochrome> !menus
[21:33] <neurochrome> erUSUL, I want to reset all menus, but tested that command with panels afterward as it didn't appear to do anything, and it didn't do anything to the panel, but it should right?
[21:34] <galorin> Hey, I have a working ubuntu 10.10 install, but no network hardware that works, how can I use the mythbuntu install cd to add the mythbuntu bits to ubuntu?
[21:34] <erUSUL> neurochrome: the menus are handled by an applet in the panel. not by the panel itself...
[21:34] <neurochrome> yeah, but I ran sudo apt-get install --purge --reinstall gnome-menus
[21:35] <neurochrome> and ... menu
[21:35] <gordonjcp> in the Ubuntu download page, how do I get just a list of perfectly ordinary mirrors?
[21:35] <neurochrome> neither did anything, but I would expect the gnome-panel command to reset my gnome-panel layout
[21:35] <gordonjcp> I don't want to use the "enhanced" download page because it chooses the slowest mirror
[21:35] <neurochrome> purging all settings, but it didn't
[21:36] <erUSUL> neurochrome: apt-get wont touch configurations in your home folder
[21:36] <erUSUL> neurochrome: or any user's folder
[21:37] <neurochrome> erUSUL, I have cleared all configs I can find in my ~/ folder
[21:37] <genii-around> roffe: Which browser ? I'm using firefox from mozilla-daily ppa  with libosmesa6 package installed, about:config variable webgl.osmesalib set to /usr/lib/libOSMesa.so.6   and webgl.prefer-native-gl set to true. seems to work on sites like http://www.nihilogic.dk/labs/worlds_of_webgl/
[21:37] <gordonjcp> I wish pulseaudio wasn't so horrible to work with
[21:38] <phonex01> guys how can i use ettercap to spoof DNS ???
[21:38] <phonex01> the same as using ARP to spoof the clients and spy on them !
[21:38] <erUSUL> neurochrome: ~/.config/menus/ ?
[21:38] <phonex01> join #backtrack4
[21:38] <neurochrome> erUSUL, yeah removed
[21:38] <mickster04> phonex01: you are not gonna get help to do legally dubious activities
[21:39] <phonex01> ok thank you !
[21:39] <neurochrome> erUSUL, I don't know how the menu is remembering entries!  I have a "bladerunner" entry that will not go (as well as about 50 others)
[21:39] <erUSUL> neurochrome: locate *.menu
[21:39] <neurochrome> I have run rm -Rf ~/.config/menu/
[21:40] <neurochrome> erUSUL, done... but I'll pastbin
[21:40] <roffe> genii-around, I'm trying both ff4 and the latest stable chrome/ium. Options that should be there in ff are not there for me. I use ati, and some site suggests there's an issue atm, but I haven't read up on it yet
[21:40] <dave50305> ThinkT510: I gave up. Installing VLC seemed to solve the problem. I prefer VLC on Windows anyways, so why not on Ubuntu ;-)
[21:41] <ThinkT510> dave50305: lol, glad you worked it out, thanks for reporting back
[21:41] <neurochrome> erUSUL, http://pastebin.com/n9AGAQ3D
[21:42] <meisth0th> hello
[21:42] <meisth0th> is there anyone using conky?
[21:42] <genii-around> roffe: Ah. I've got an NVidia with proprietary driver
[21:43] <ThinkT510> meisth0th: yes, but i'm no expert, i'll help if i can
[21:43] <meisth0th> ThinkT510: no i am not asking for help, i have a small python script to be tested, can you test?
[21:43] <ThinkT510> meisth0th: ah, in that case no, sorry
[21:44] <roffe> genii-around, despite every effort to run it in linux, I got it running through chrome os in virtualbox... though it's slow, and not really a solution :/
[21:44] <meisth0th> ThinkT510: it's no harm :) i've written a small script that shows ubuntu countdown on desktop
[21:44] <erUSUL> neurochrome: sorry do not see anything out of the ordinary there ... /home/username/Sort This/menus/applications.menu <<< except maybe this
[21:44] <neurochrome> erUSUL, just removed it and tried again
[21:45]  * neurochrome bangs his head against the wall
[21:46]  * erUSUL hands neurochrome an ice bag
[21:46] <WeThePeople> can someone help me edit source.list
[21:46] <ThinkT510> meisth0th: i only use the /etc/conky.conf file, i don't add any scripts and have no experience in doing so
[21:46] <erUSUL> WeThePeople: to do what?
[21:46] <WeThePeople> erUSUL, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-chromium-google-chrome-in-ubuntu-using-deb-package.html
[21:47] <neurochrome> erUSUL, I removed blender manually from the menu, and then removed my settings in the home folder and killed the panel, and it fails to reappear in the menu.  I'm not sure what the hell is going on.  Weird.
[21:48] <jstein> hi, how can i reconfigure the tty font on ubuntu?   Anybody familiar with xorg, nvidia and dual monitor setups mind checking this post?:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10615336

[21:50] <Trashi> hi guys. i have a problem with my flash player... always when i switch into fullscreen mode, the fullscreen opens in the background. does anybody know how to fix?

[21:52] <pyghassen> error: unknown file system
[21:52] <pyghassen> grub rescue>
[21:53] <pyghassen> how to fix it?
[21:53] <gsfai> what did you type in?
[21:53] <erUSUL> pyghassen: boot into a livecd and do sanity checks on the hard disk and partitions
[21:53] <gsfai> erUSUL: the 'rescue' part makes me think that he actually typed in a command
[21:53] <erUSUL> WeThePeople: if you want newer versios of chromium you could add https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/beta
[21:54] <pyghassen> ok erUSUL I did but I didn't know what to do!!
[21:54] <erUSUL> pyghassen: check that all the partitions are still there then verify them... you can do both things with gparted
[21:55] <erUSUL> pyghassen: System>Admin..>partition editor
[21:55] <Paddy_NI> I wonder what software the creators of the Ubuntu font family used and if it was FLOSS?
[21:55] <pyghassen> erUSUL: I opened gpared and the system partition is black and I couldn't anything !
[21:56] <arand> Paddy_NI: Nope.
[21:56] <hihihi100> the update page just appeared, prompting me to update, but I cannot update due to an unstrusted package "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." w32 codecs, how do I update this particular medibuntu package?
[21:56] <erUSUL> pyghassen: black?
[21:57] <ThinkT510> erUSUL: black means unrecognised partition
[21:58] <Ale84> Hi??
[21:58] <erUSUL> pyghassen: you could not right click on it? choose verify ?
[21:58] <ThinkT510> erUSUL: or unformatted
[21:58] <pyghassen> yeah
[21:59] <pyghassen> that what I meant
[21:59] <hihihi100> how do I update w32 codecs?
[21:59] <smw> hihihi100, have you ever installed them?

[22:05] <puff`> The battery status gnome applet has disappeared from my menu bar, and when I try right-click/add-to-panel I don't see it in the list.

[22:10] <erUSUL> pyghassen: good luck
[22:10] <erUSUL> michaelhiggins3: Places>computer || do you see your windows partitoon there? double click on it
[22:10] <pyghassen> erUSUL: I reboot and it still the same , I'll try one more time
[22:11] <regeya> How do you know someone runs KDE?  They will tell you.
[22:11] <erUSUL> pyghassen: add -p to e2fsck options
[22:11] <regeya> -sent from irssi
[22:11] <erUSUL> pyghassen: there were a lot of errors?
[22:11] <michaelhiggins3> erUSUL: no I do not see it there
[22:11] <pyghassen> erUSUL: yeah
[22:11] <Ale84> Hi again
[22:11] <erUSUL> !ntfs | michaelhiggins3
[22:13] <michaelhiggins3> thanks much brb
[22:14] <genii-around> coreGrl: You might want to look at pdfopt (one pass optimizer for structure) and also at pdftk, which can do stuff like yank out indivual pages or chapters into other pdf, etc
[22:15] <folorn> hello everyone :)
[22:16] <mkanyicy> hi folorn
[22:17] <folorn> so anyone know how to tell how much your linux partition is useing for space? im not sure if u can enter a command into the terminal or not but if so what would it be
[22:18] <genii-around> folorn:  df -h
[22:18] <ThinkT510> folorn: gparted shows you the space used for each partition in a nice graphical format
[22:18] <folorn> kk thanks folks
[22:19] <pyghassen> erUSUL: yessssssssssss it's back, last time I just e2fck only without opening gparted and check, no it's ok thanks, and god bless ubuntu and its community :)
[22:19] <erUSUL> pyghassen: no problem
[22:21] <folorn> when i try to run my linux quake4 i get the following error- Sys_Error: Texture compression unavailable
[22:21] <folorn> dustin@ubuntu:~/quake4/quake4$
[22:21] <folorn>  is there anyway to fix this and if so how and why do i get this error when trying to run the program?
[22:22] <phonex01_> how can i install VMware on my ubuntu 10.10 ?
[22:23] <phonex01_> i need to use to for virutal machines
[22:23] <Ale84> Hello everyone!!!!
[22:23] <KombuchaKip> Ale84: Hey man.
[22:23] <erUSUL> !vmware | phonex01_
[22:23] <erUSUL> folorn: what graphic driver/card?
[22:23] <phonex01_> im using virtualbox but i have been told that vmware is stronger ?
[22:23] <phonex01_> so what do you think ?
[22:24] <folorn> how i check the card, i forget the command again erUSUL
[22:24] <KombuchaKip> How can I find the total number of lines in a bunch of files in a directory? cat `find .` | wc -l Doesn't work because cat chokes on spaces in file names.
[22:24] <erUSUL> folorn: lspci | grep -i vga
[22:24] <ThinkT510> phonex01_: virtualbox has always worked well for me, also it's best to stay with open source
[22:24] <erUSUL> KombuchaKip: find . -execdir wc -l {} +
[22:25] <erUSUL> KombuchaKip: oh; you want the total of all the files
[22:25] <Ale84> Anyone can help me with TwinView setup??
[22:25] <KombuchaKip> erUSUL: I understand the first part, but what is the {} + ?
[22:25] <phonex01_> ok i will take your advice
[22:25] <pvaldes> Hello. Has anyone eveer had a GLXBadContext error while compiling anything with OpenGL? I have the following problem: http://pastebin.com/06t028BJ
[22:25] <erUSUL> KombuchaKip: cat * | wc -l
[22:25] <KombuchaKip> erUSUL: Yes
[22:25] <folorn> here it is erUSUL - 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[22:25] <pvaldes> I'm using Ubuntu maverick with a x86_64 architecture.
[22:25] <neurochrome> erUSUL, FYI, rm -Rf ~/.local/share/applications/
[22:26] <KombuchaKip> erUSUL: I need it to recurse into subdirectories.
[22:26] <stepnjump> pvaldes, how does it run?
[22:26] <neurochrome> killall gnome-panel --> works
[22:26] <folorn> any ideas erUSUL?
[22:26] <pvaldes> stepnjump, it doesn't have compiling issues. When it runs, it outputs an error (on the pastebin)
[22:26] <pvaldes> I also included my output of lspci and glxinfo
[22:26] <pvaldes> I think it might be a render issue.
[22:26] <earthmeLon> How horrible is this temperature for my laptop?  temp1:      +140.0°F  (crit = +208.4°F)
[22:27] <stepnjump> No I mean in general, is it much quicker than 32bits?
[22:27] <erUSUL> folorn: i am afraid you can not use that game with your graphic card :S
[22:27] <gordonjcp> stepnjump: what's a °F ?
[22:27] <pvaldes> stepnjump, well, it's a dell inspiron i5, I tried it with both 32bits and 64bits
[22:27] <stepnjump> oh excuse me!
[22:28] <pvaldes> I don't see a difference, but I'd assume the more proccess it'd use, it'd run better on 64 bits
[22:28] <stepnjump> do you see a speed difference pvaldes?
[22:28] <pvaldes> Not really.
[22:28] <stepnjump> ok cool thanks.. Good luck with your question
[22:28] <erUSUL> KombuchaKip: { find . -type f -exec cat {} + ; } | wc -l
[22:28] <pvaldes> Thanks
[22:28] <erUSUL> KombuchaKip: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/UsingFind
[22:28] <smw> pvaldes, 64bit is not much better than 32 in terms of speed. It does allow more ram to be used though...
[22:29] <KombuchaKip> erUSUL: Thank you.
[22:29] <blackplague1347> Can I put GNOME 3 on Ubuntu?
[22:29] <pvaldes> smw, I assumed that. stepnjump was asking, tho.
[22:29] <erUSUL> gordonjcp: farenheit those americans and their weird unit system ;P
[22:30] <folorn> are you serious ?
[22:30] <gordonjcp> erUSUL: is a °F bigger or smaller than a hogshead?
[22:30] <folorn> what kind of card do i need ? radeon or something?
[22:30] <erUSUL> folorn: the problem is; if you want to know.- texture compression is a patented tech so free drivers like the ones intel use can not inmplement it
[22:31] <erUSUL> folorn: you have to use ati or nvidia with propietary drivers ( beccouse with the free ones you'll have the same problem )
[22:32] <Abhish> Anybody know a clever way of restoring a linux partition after a Win7 restore?
[22:32] <gsfai> sounds like you need supergrub
[22:32] <folorn> so how could i do this without haveing to replace my video card or is there no other way?
[22:32] <erUSUL> folorn: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODEwOQ
[22:33] <Jordan_U> Abhish: Is the partition actually gone or can you just not boot it currently?
[22:33] <ThinkT510> !grub2 | Abhish
[22:33] <Abhish> gsfai I tried that. The partiton itself is a bit damaged.
[22:33] <erUSUL> gordonjcp: no idea ;P
[22:33] <gsfai> I would boot in a live cd and fsck
[22:33] <c4pt> tu
[22:33] <Jordan_U> Abhish: What does "a bit damaged" mean exactly?
[22:34] <Abhish> Tried that. The live USB sees the existing partitions and tries to use the journaling on it.
[22:34] <folorn> erUSUL well would you happen to know where to find a copy of linux quake2 then and ill scratch the linux quake4 idea :( or is there no other way ?
[22:34] <Abhish> Which causes the live boot to freeze.
[22:35] <Jordan_U> Abhish: This is an Ubuntu LiveUSB? Ubuntu live shouldn't be trying to mount other partitions at boot.
[22:36] <erUSUL> folorn: try openarena? or any of the other quake3 derivatives ?
[22:36] <erUSUL> folorn: playdeb
[22:36] <negev> hi, im trying to install grub from the live dvd with:   grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda4   but i get "could not find device for /boot"
[22:36] <folorn> got open arena i just miss quake2 :(, so there's no ideas for quake2 the actual game ?
[22:36] <negev> can i force it to install?
[22:36] <negev> all i have is a / partition so /boot doesn't matter
[22:37] <folorn> whats deb?
[22:37] <ThinkT510> !deb | folorn
[22:37] <biff2> Hi. I have an readline app called xyz and file with commands to xyz. If I do $ xyz < commands, then commands are succesfully executed in xyz, but after xyz comes across EOF, it finishes. How do I prevent it, so that I can type more commands myself?
[22:38] <Jordan_U> negev: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[22:39] <Jordan_U> negev: And note that you almost never want to install grub's boot sector to a partition, like sda4. You should run "grub-install /dev/sda" (after following the preparatory steps in that guide).
[22:39] <negev> Jordan_U: i do if im using a macbook pro :)
[22:39] <Jordan_U> negev: No, you still don't.
[22:39] <negev> really? oh ok
[22:40] <negev> its failing because /boot/grub/stage1 doesn't exist
[22:40] <Jordan_U> negev: Many guides state that you do, they are all wrong.
[22:40] <Abhish> Jordan_U no, its openSUSE. but their IRC is asleep. I should be able to repair the partition with any standard tool though.
[22:40] <pvaldes> I think the problem is that my VGA controller is: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
[22:40] <naomi_> This might sound really basic. But uh, i'm in terminal in Pictures and typed "ls" for the list. I'm just wondering how do i delete files through here?
[22:40] <pvaldes> and my OpenGL render is mesa
[22:40] <negev> Jordan_U: why don't i have /boot/grub/stage1?
[22:40] <pvaldes> as shown by glxinfo|grep render
[22:40] <meganerdca> negev: you probably need to specify the root folder, it helps to have it mounted
[22:40] <Jordan_U> negev: Because /boot/grub/stage1 is part of grub legacy, not grub2.
[22:41] <negev> ah
[22:41] <Jordan_U> negev: Follow the guide I linked to.
[22:41] <meganerdca> negev: that too
[22:41] <Pumpkin-> naomi_: "rm" for remove, as in "rm filename"
[22:41] <naomi_> thanks.
[22:42] <naomi_> and how would i remove 5 files at once?
[22:42] <nopf> naomi_: guess...
[22:42] <Jordan_U> Abhish: While any recent distro should have the tools needed, it's difficult to use them if you can't even boot said distro :) I don't think you'll have a problem booting Ubuntu Live.
[22:42] <nopf> naomi_: rm * <- remove all files. don't do it
[22:43] <naomi_> i mean is there a quicker way rather than typing out the 5 filenames
[22:43] <Jordan_U> !tab | naomi_
[22:43] <nopf> naomi_: rm *abc*.gif <- remove all gifs with abc in their name
[22:44] <nopf> naomi_: make sure you do not type 'rm * abc * .gif' or such
[22:44] <naomi_> all my files are just Screenshot-1.png, Screenshot-2, etc. so would rm *screenshot* .png work?
[22:44] <negev> Jordan_U: that failed, says i can only install grub by using blocklists and thats not recommended
[22:44] <Jordan_U> naomi_: If you use rm with a wildcard like '*' you should probably use the '-i' option to prevent accidentily removing something unintentionally.
[22:44] <negev> because i have GPT
[22:44] <Jordan_U> negev: You should create a BIOS boot partition.
[22:44] <nopf> naomi_: gah! don't do ' ' before .png! will delete all files!!
[22:45] <Abhish> Jordan_U agreed. However, getting opensuse on a liveUSB is a pain, and my netbook is the only machine with it on anymore.
[22:45] <naomi_> what? >.>
[22:45] <meganerdca> Jordan_U: macs don't use a BIOS, its all EFI, just like sandy bridge now
[22:45] <negev> can i do that without reinstalling osx?
[22:45] <Jordan_U> meganerdca: They still have a BIOS implementation, and that is what negev is currently using.
[22:46] <nopf> naomi_: oh, not that bad, sorry. your command only would remove als *screenshot* files , like screenshot.txt as well.... the '-i' advice is a good one!
[22:46] <naomi_> oh you mean dont leave a space before .png?
[22:46] <nopf> naomi_: yes :)
[22:47] <Jordan_U> negev: Create a small partition (around 1 MiB) with no filesystem and add the "bios_grub" flag to it. You can do this with gparted.
[22:47] <matcouto> Is anybody here testing Ubuntu 11.04!? I'm having some wireless problem, the connection is not stable. Any idea of what could it be?
[22:47] <Jordan_U> matcouto: #ubuntu+1 for 11.04
[22:47] <naomi_> So where do i put the -i? << rm *screenshot*.png >> where's the -i go
[22:48] <nopf> naomi_: rm * .png   matches *all files* and then .png which doesn't exist. but removes all files first and complains later :/
[22:48] <Cem> Hi
[22:48] <Cem> I need help
[22:48] <nopf> naomi_: rm -i *somepattern*png
[22:48] <coz_> hey all
[22:48] <nopf> naomi_: and then confirm each delete with <y><enter>
[22:48] <Cem> someone help me please
[22:48] <naomi_> somepattern?
[22:49] <smw> !ask | Cem
[22:49] <Cem> nice bot
[22:49] <smw> Cem, yes, I do like him
[22:50] <Cem> Well, I turned off my Ubuntu with the bad way to. Then when I tried to run it, it said that its filesystem was damaged. I just want to know if there is somehow to recover the information in the computer.
[22:51] <nopf> naomi_: whatever. *screenshot*.png . this is is called 'a pattern' cause it contains 'wildcards' (* and ? are the wildcards) ... the process of 'applying patterns to directory listings' is called 'file name matching' or 'globbing'
[22:51] <smw> Cem, did you try a bootable cd?
[22:51] <naomi_> Oh okay, thanks.
[22:52] <smw> Cem, maybe run fsck?
[22:52] <Cem> smw I tried some Linux CDs
[22:52] <Cem> Linux OS and things like that
[22:52] <Cem> even the lower ubuntu
[22:52] <Cem> the 10.04
[22:52] <Cem> I tried just to run, not to install it
[22:52] <Cem> and I couldn't...
[22:52] <smw> and it could not mount it?
[22:52] <Logan_> !enter | Cem
[22:52] <meganerdca> Cem: why not
[22:53] <negev> Jordan_U: ive created a 1MB partition, can't see how to set it grub_bios flag in gparted though
[22:53] <Cem> smw it appears "Filesystem damaged"
[22:53] <smw> Cem, what do you do where it says filesystem damaged?
[22:54] <Jordan_U> negev: Partition > Manage Flags
[22:54] <Rehan> Hi guys. I have a hard drive with two partitions. Win7 is on one NTFS partition. The other partition is unformatted and I want to install Ubuntu on it. I would like to use the Win7 bootloader even after installing Ubuntu. Should I install the Ubuntu bootloader onto the Ubuntu partition instead of on /dev/sda? Thank you.
[22:54] <Cem> smw what?
[22:54] <smw> Cem, "filesystem damaged". When does that show up?
[22:55] <Cem> when I started my computer
[22:55] <Cem> with different CDs
[22:55] <smw> Cem, have you tried to fsck it?
[22:55] <Cem> k sorry I did it again
[22:55] <Cem> what is fsck?
[22:55] <Logan_> !fsck | CEm
[22:55] <Logan_> s/CEm/cem/
[22:55] <Logan_> s/cem/Cem/ :P
[22:56] <Cem> !man fsck
[22:56] <smw> Cem, man fsck in a terminal
[22:57] <Cem> Can't dude, when I start my computer, it isn't like a terminal, doesn't have the group/host name there, and when I type help just a few commands appear
[22:57] <snake_> can a cpu be 64 bit, but not 32 -bit?
[22:57] <Cem> smw
[22:58] <smw> Cem
[22:58] <smw> snake_, no
[22:58] <smw> Cem, use a live cd
[22:58] <djstarr> ok
[22:58] <snake_> is there a project like wine, but for mac apps?
[22:58] <Cem> what's a live cd smw
[22:59] <djstarr> how do i add my gtalk account?
[22:59] <smw> Cem, the ubuntu install cd in "try" mode is a live cd
[22:59] <iceroot> snake_: mac apps are unix-apps
[22:59] <Cem> I tried with some versions smw
[22:59] <soreau> ! livecd | Cem
[22:59] <smw> djstarr, click on the email icon near the clock, then click chat.
[22:59] <b1lly> isetup a vsftpd server with users and permissions... locally, everything works good. i goto the ftp, i get prompted for username and pw, and i can connect (it directs me to the correct directory) fine. however, once i go outside of the machine...i get prompted for the username and password, and than it hangs
[22:59] <snake_> iceroot, unfortunatly they have a different binary than linux.
[22:59] <Cem> the Ubuntu 10.04, Linux OS and some others, all of them couldn't initialize
[22:59] <smw> djstarr, then edit -> accounts
[22:59] <soreau> snake_: A cpu is either 64bit or 32bit. You can run 32bit OS on 64bit, but not the other way around
[22:59] <Cem> appeared, some times, init error
[23:00] <iceroot> snake_: hm ok
[23:00] <smw> Cem, wait, you could not boot a live cd?
[23:00] <Cem> no
[23:00] <Cem> sm
[23:00] <Cem> smw
[23:00] <JockeTF> Anyone else having problems playing Flac with gstreamer in Natty?
[23:00] <smw> Cem, what happened?
[23:00] <djstarr> how do i add my gtalk account to irc?
[23:01] <Rehan> Hi guys. I have a hard drive with two partitions. Win7 is on one NTFS partition. The other partition is unformatted and I want to install Ubuntu on it. I would like to use the Win7 bootloader even after installing Ubuntu. Should I install the Ubuntu bootloader onto the Ubuntu partition instead of on /dev/sda? Thank you.
[23:01] <Cem> I turned off my computer by accidentally removing the plug
[23:01] <smw> !natty | JockeTF
[23:01] <snake_> I would start a project for mac apps on linux, but with programming also comes hair loss for me :P
[23:01] <Jaymac> JockeTF, wrong channel - try #ubuntu+1
[23:01] <j5_> hi can someone link the new grub page?
[23:01] <JockeTF> Jaymac: Ok, thanks!
[23:01] <Cem> I think it has stopped a Kernel update
[23:01] <Cem> or soemthing like that smw
[23:01] <j5_> --grub
[23:01] <smw> !grub | j5_
[23:01] <snake_> unless I don't have a goal, and I'm just going at random.
[23:01] <Logan_> !grub2 | j5_
[23:01] <negev> Jordan_U: after creating that partition and applying the changes, gparted now crashes out with basic_string::_S_Create
[23:01] <j5_> ah ty :)
[23:01] <smw> Cem, that makes no sense.
[23:02] <smw> Cem, what happens when you try to run an ubuntu install cd?
[23:02] <Cem> smw it keep at the same thing a lot of time
[23:03] <smw> Cem, I do not understand
[23:03] <Cem> it be like forever "trying" to do it
[23:03] <Cem> but never does
[23:03] <Cem> smw me neither
[23:03] <Cem> :(
[23:03] <Cem> I was just wondering if there is a way to recovery my information there
[23:03] <smw> Cem, I can't help you if you can't even boot...
[23:04] <smw> Cem, you need to plug the drive into a working system or use a live cd
[23:04] <smw> Cem, then you may need to run fsck
[23:04] <smw> Cem, sorry I can not help you.
[23:04] <Cem> smw I will use another thing
[23:04] <royale1223> i need help with resetting my panel.

[23:04] <Cem> smw
[23:05] <Cem> Then there is no way to recovery information? :/
[23:05]  * jarmour nods at Cem
[23:05] <smw> Cem, you need a live cd.

[23:06] <smw> Cem, are you able to run the live cd?
[23:06] <soreau> taru: You need the xext -dev package
[23:06] <Cem> smw I think no
[23:06] <taru> that's the one i installed soreau
[23:07] <Jordan_U> negev: Did it appear to make the changes successfully before crashing?
[23:07] <soreau> taru: Specifically, libxext-dev
[23:07] <Cem> K i'll try other things smw
