[14:41] <harjot_> IdleOne: its an ntfs filesytem, and i suspect tthe motor stopped spinning
[14:41] <jason_> hey guys - is there a way I can connect my *buntu laptop with NFS to my windows network server at work without installing an nfs client on the windows box? Or od I HAVE to use samba?
[14:41] <scunizi_> taraduffy: boot into windows and see if their tools will shrink their own partition.
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> bleri: can you use: http://pastebin.com   to give the output of:  dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf
[14:42] <chazco> Hi... anyone know how to fix surround sound on 9.10?
[14:42] <SomeSome> ActionParsnip: I didn't think it would be that simple, I will give it a go and let you know how it goes.
[14:42] <taraduffy> scunizi: any idea what windows tool? thanks,
[14:42] <IdleOne> harjot_: there are probably recover tools for windows also. I suggest asking in ##windows or perhaps doing a search on the net
[14:42] <erUSUL> jason_: samba should be the easist option
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> SomeSome: its as easy as windows. why did you think it would be hard?
[14:42] <harjot_> the hard drive doesnt start anymore
[14:42] <harjot_> is there ANY way to fix or recover its data?\
[14:43] <jason_> erUSUL - Im having mixed issues with samba, and Ive used samba for a long, long time. Sometimes it sees the server, other times it doesnt.
[14:43] <lorenzosu> How to permanently add a path to ubuntu?
[14:43] <alienkid10> I want to partition a 4GB flash drive into 2 partition. How can I do that so Windows will still let me safety remove the drive? I want 1 partition a FAT32 for windows to store things on. The other will be a EXT3/4 (or FAT32?) for Ubuntu to be installed on. Would Windows see the FAT32 partition as removeable and beable to safety remove it?
[14:43] <erUSUL> harjot_: maybe your only chance is a data recover business
[14:43] <harjot_> dan
[14:43] <harjot_> damn*
[14:43] <harjot_> ok
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> harjot_: if the drive isnt spinning youo can spend a fewthousand dollas with professional services
[14:43] <erUSUL> lorenzosu: what do you mean add a path ?
[14:43] <llutz> harjot_: there are companies doing it for money. you can try to get an identical drive, change the electronics and pray that it will run once
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> harjot_: this is why i bang on about backups
[14:43] <scunizi_> taraduffy: ##windows
[14:43] <nipun> hi,i'm a newb on linux, i've installed ubuntu 8.04...but whenever  i try to set the resolution above 800*600,the screen becomesw unstable,even though my drivers and hardwares are perfectly compactable in running these settings...any idea why???
[14:43] <IdleOne> harjot_: the question now is how much is this data worth to you
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> harjot_: but no one listens
[14:43] <SomeSome> ActionParsnip: Things I have done in the past for ubuntu wasn't as easy. But then again, I'm just novice for ubuntu.
[14:43] <nipun> hi,i'm a newb on linux, i've installed ubuntu 8.04...but whenever  i try to set the resolution above 800*600,the screen becomesw unstable,even though my drivers and hardwares are perfectly compactable in running these settings...any idea why???
[14:43] <tolpico> erUSUL, exactly, thank you very much! you made my day. !cookie
[14:43] <FloodBot2> nipun: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:44] <lorenzosu> erUSUL, I mean I'd like the path ~/scripts to always be accessible
[14:44] <harjot_> ActionParsnip: it was a 250 GB DRIVE!!! how are you supposed to back it up?
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> SomeSome: probably due to microsoft over use, ubuntu is slightly different but can work just as easily with use
[14:44] <Leoneof`> hi, it is possible to run Windows games via VMware?
[14:45] <llutz> lorenzosu: add it to PATH in ~/.bashrc
[14:45] <harjot_> IdleOne: the data is somewhat valuable
[14:45] <erUSUL> lorenzosu: in ~/.bashrc do $PATH=$PATH:~/scripts
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> harjot_: a 1Tb drive will give you a 3day non differential backup
[14:45] <isolat3dsh33p> guys, how to make a beep sound on the terminal?
[14:45] <jtaji> lorenzosu: if you make a ~/bin it will be automatically added to your path next login
[14:45] <erUSUL> lorenzosu: better in ~/.profile
[14:46] <harjot_> ActionParsnip: nevermind
[14:46] <erUSUL> lorenzosu: is where ~/bin is added ;)
[14:46] <jason_> does ubuntu or kubuntu come prepackaged with a firewall?
[14:46] <lorenzosu> erUSUL, Thanks
[14:46] <erUSUL> !fw | jason_
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> jason_: they all do, with iptables
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> harjot_: large hdd is hugely cheaper than professional data recovery service
[14:47] <jason_> ActionParsnip - Im just trying to understand why kubuntu often says "could not find any computers in your workgroup. May be due to an enabled firewall." I recall having the same issue with ubuntu too, but no error. Just nothing happened.
[14:47] <nipun> hey....i've installed ubuntu 8.04...but whenever  i try to set the resolution above 800*600,the screen becomesw unstable,even though my drivers and hardwares are perfectly compactable in running these settings...any idea why???
[14:47] <harjot_> ActionParsnip: true point.
[14:48] <lorenzosu> I addedd a PPA but doing apt-get install package installes the older ubuntu version
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> jason_: if you open /etc/samba/smb.conf   you can make sure it is part of the same workgroup
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> jason_: can you ping the servers by name or IP?
[14:49] <IdleOne> lorenzosu: did you apt-get update first?
[14:49] <supertux1> how to disable wifi and bluetooth on boot? the appear enabled in karmic and i don't like that
[14:49] <supertux1> they*
[14:49] <lorenzosu> IdleOne, Yes.
[14:49] <alienkid10> gtg
[14:49] <jason_> ActionParsnip - well I work on two networks. The one at work the workgroup doesnt match up. The one at home does (both in same workgroup). However I get the same results with each.
[14:49] <jason_> ActionParsnip - I can ping by IP and name... the storage server that is.
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> jason_: as long as you can ping the workgroup is fairly moot
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> jason_: then in nautilus address bar typ:   smb://servername/sharename
[14:50] <nipun> Hey ppl i've installed ubuntu 8.04...but whenever  i try to set the resolution above 800*600,the screen becomesw unstable,even though my drivers and hardwares are perfectly compactable in running these settings...any idea why???
[14:50] <jason_> ActionParsnip - still unable to see storage server in dolphin. However I can ping it by name...
[14:50] <jason_> ActionParsnip - well at the moment Im on my kubuntu laptop. I have issues with both laptops though.
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> nipun: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> jason_: if the name pings you can use it in nautilus to access it
[14:51] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[14:52] <nipun> ActionParsnip: right now,m on my friends comp....and am kinda a beginner,so anything will be helpful...???
[14:52] <jason_> ActionParsnip - I just did what you siad to do in nautilus on my ubuntu laptop to my kubuntu laptop in konqerer. I can see the shares now. I wonder why Nautilus (when browsing) and dolphin (when browsing) give me issues.
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> nipun: i gave the command you need to run in a terminal
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> jason_: thats how I do it, i dont use the network icon. I think it stinks
[14:53] <es-web> How do i fix, apt-get? apt-get thinks all my packede are uptodate, but i can see that version numbers dont match? is there a way to update/reinstall all packaged?
[14:53] <squisher> Hi, I have no sound with ubuntu 9.10 - alsa-info.sh @ http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4ad6519287bbc5fd994af1cb74d074552a4087e7
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> jason_: plus that way goes direct to the system so is uicker
[14:53] <jason_> ActionParsnip - I just dont understand why konq (nautilus address bar) works, but my program SMB4k doesnt work.
[14:53] <squisher> es-web, where do you see the missmatch?
[14:53] <jason_> ActionParsnip - becuase I use SMB4k on my Kubuntu laptop and while I like it, it gave me the same results with mixed signals
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> jason_: i couldnt say
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> !terminal | nipun
[14:54] <jason_> ACtionParsnip - Ill try konq and your method in naut and see how it goes. Appreciate it man.
[14:54] <isolat3dsh33p> guys, why does my terminal bell doesn't work? « prinf "\a" » don't produce any beep sound :(
[14:54] <squisher> isolat3dsh33p, xterm settings?
[14:54] <squisher> most people find the bell pretty annoying ;)
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> isolat3dsh33p: if you press backspace on an empty line it should ring
[14:55] <nipun> ActionParsnip: i'll definately try that. can u tell me the reason though....why i can run the windows perfectly well, but the screen starts flickering like crazy...and the system has 2 be shut down...plz hlp,can't access the system right now!
[14:55] <nipun> could there be a problem with the drivers??
[14:55] <isolat3dsh33p> squisher: how to check it? ActionParsnip: no sound at all. :(
[14:55] <Yon89> how can i tell when kernel patches are going to be included in the kernal (if ever ) ?
[14:56] <BlackFate_> beeps are disabled from module in karmic
[14:56] <es-web> squisher: im on a debian system, but no luck in that channel. I know that the kernal im running is 2.6.18 and the one in repo is 2.6.26, but it wont show up when i do apt-get update apt-get uprade. And i know for a fact that most packaged is affected too
[14:56] <erUSUL> nipun: which graphic hardware does the system uses ?
[14:56] <erUSUL> Yon89: which kernel patches ?
[14:56] <Yon89> the mvsas patches
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> isolat3dsh33p: check the settings in sound as well as the terminal settings
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> nipun: you havent configured drivers yet as its a clean install
[14:57] <lorenzosu> Mind you I added the PPA with the new add-apt command. Is it working?
[14:57] <nipun> erUSUL: it uses the standard onboard intel 845gv graphics....
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> nipun: none of my systems go above 640x480 without drivers
[14:57] <squisher> isolat3dsh33p, well which one are you using?
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> nipun: under windows
[14:57] <erUSUL> Yon89: mvsas seems to be included in ubuntu /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/mvsas/mvsas.ko
[14:57] <Yon89> for this bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14534
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> nipun: and what windows does or doesnt do i moot
[14:57] <squisher> es-web, join me in #debian, that's a bit offtopic here
[14:57] <Yon89> the driver is included but is useless
[14:58] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip: I already checked the "Terminal bell". No effect. | squisher: default ubuntu terminal.
[14:58] <Slart> es-web: debian and ubuntu doesn't quite use apt the same way.. debian uses rolling updates and versions.. ubuntu only updates big stuff with a new version
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> isolat3dsh33p: thats as much as i know. i always turned it off
[14:58] <nipun> ActionParsnip : do the drivers have to be installed seperately after installing ubuntu,i thought they came preloaded?
[14:58] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip: That's ok :)
[14:59] <llutz> Slart: only sid provides rolling updates
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> nipun: with some cards yes, with some no
[14:59] <squisher> isolat3dsh33p, check the settings, here I can disable the bell
[14:59] <erUSUL> Yon89: try using 2.6.32 kernel there are few ppa with it included
[14:59] <erUSUL> !ppa
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> nipun: once you run the command you will know the video card and you can websearch to find guides
[15:00] <Slart> llutz: huh? they've changed it? I thought they called stuff stable, testing, unstable and whatnot.. either way.. it's offtopic here I think
[15:00] <erUSUL> Yon89: also make a bug report against the ubuntu kernel in launchpad
[15:00] <erUSUL> !bugs | Yon89
[15:00] <nipun> ActionParsnip : okay.....thanks a lot,i think i get it now!
[15:00] <isolat3dsh33p> squisher: I already enable the Terminal bell in the profile preferences. No effect
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> nipun: if its nvidia you are laughig
[15:01] <lorenzosu> I addedd a PPA but doing apt-get install package installes the 'older' ubuntu version (and yes I did sudo apt-get update)
[15:01] <nipun> ActionParsnip : btw,i have an iso image of ubuntu 9.10, how can ii update my current 8.04 without having to uninstall the entire od?
[15:01] <nipun> *os
[15:01] <coco> hi
[15:02] <Yon89> so is it worth posting this as a ubuntu bug even tho all linux distro's have the issue atm
[15:02] <duffydack> lorenzosu, silly question, did you run update?
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> nipun: you will need the 9.04 alternate CD as well as the 9.10 alternate CD. You cannot upgrade direct to 9.10 and you cannot upgrade with the desktop ISO
[15:02] <paulus68> I use Iptables and 2 different subnets now I want to connect to my internal network but I can't seem to get it correct how do I make this work? this is my iptables http://pastebin.ca/1730564  I can connect correctly to my server from my office but not directly to a pc behind my server the setup is as follows ISP=>router <IP_ADDRESS> => <IP_ADDRESS>server <IP_ADDRESS> to switch => wireless network
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> nipun: or you can upgrade using the web
[15:03] <lorenzosu> duffydack, Not silly at all, but yes I did a couple of times.
[15:03] <duffydack> lorenzosu, SORRY DIDNT READ PROPERLY LOLL
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> nipun: you cannot skip releases
[15:03] <duffydack> sorry caps stuck
[15:03] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip, squisher : it's a bug i guess. -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/101838
[15:03] <Leoneof`> hi, it is possible to run Windows games via VMware?
[15:03] <duffydack> lorenzosu, what package is it
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> Leoneof`: 2d ones yes, 3d will run VERY badly
[15:03] <lorenzosu> duffydack, qjackctl
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> Leoneof`: if at all
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> Leoneof`: use wine or dualboot
[15:04] <nipun> ActionParsnip : and how can i uninstall the 8.04,without the help of windows, i installed it from a bootable cd..
[15:04] <squisher> isolat3dsh33p, try a different terminal if it's important to you
[15:05] <isolat3dsh33p> squisher: ok, thanks dude. :)
[15:05] <squisher> np
[15:06] <moldy> hi
[15:06] <Yon89> is the a pre compiled ubuntu 2.6.32 kernal i can try for the mvsas patches ?
[15:06] <nipun> How can i uninstall the 8.04,without the help of windows, i installed it from a bootable cd..
[15:07] <erUSUL> !ppa | Yon89 as i said earlier
[15:07] <HaskellLove> I have 20 text files, how can i add one line of text to all of them acordingly, so that the first one gets "hello1" and the second "hello2" and so on... as first line...
[15:07] <moldy> when i use "grep -z" on ubuntu, i cannot match the beginning of a line. e.g. "grep -z '^DISPLAY=' /proc/$pid/environ" does not find anything. on another distribution, this works. what is the problem here? a patched grep?
[15:07] <evergrenn> I installed clamav, but I appear in applications, why?
[15:07] <erUSUL> HaskellLove: use a for loop in bash
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> evergrenn:  if you mean it dident appear.. thats because its a cli tool.. there are gui front ends
[15:08] <HaskellLove> erUSUL i am not that good with bash can you give me example? i have all my files in one folder
[15:08] <evergrenn> hello dr_willis
[15:08] <nipun> How can i uninstall the 8.04,without the help of windows, i installed it from a bootable cd..
[15:09] <chrisw1> hmm, so why does having a LANG of 'en_GB.UTF-8' set for a user cause the output order of ls to change so that it's no longer in alphabetical order?
[15:09] <nipun> i want to upgrade to 9.10
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> nipun:  the 9.10 installer can format the old partitions if you tell it to. No need to Uninstall it...
[15:09] <evergrenn> Dr_Willis. What should I apply?
[15:09] <moldy> chrisw1: i cannot reproduce this.
[15:10] <chrisw1> moldy: yes, it doesn't happen with every folder
[15:10] <HaskellLove> erUSUL help please just one code example
[15:10] <moldy> chrisw1: give us a working example
[15:10] <moldy> "working" as in "reproduceable"
[15:10] <nipun> Dr_Willis: i tried it before, but it messed up with my windows xp, and i cudn't boot it...any way to avoid it?
[15:11] <chrisw1> in my case, it's doing an "ls -laR --time-style=+ /etc/apache2"
[15:11] <erUSUL> HaskellLove: for file in folder/*; do [the stuff here]; done
[15:11] <erUSUL> HaskellLove: as more help in #bash i have to fly
[15:11] <dsfas> "sudo service networking restart" not working ubuntu 9.10...can anyone tell me whats the problem...
[15:12] <chrisw1> here's the diff going from having the LANG set to 'en_GB.UTF-8' or having the LANG set to '': http://pastebin.com/dfe603d3
[15:12] <chrisw1> note that with the languaeg set, cgi.load and a few others are in the wrong palce
[15:12] <evergrenn> Dr_Willis.  What should I apply to show clamav on the taskbar?
[15:12] <chrisw1> setting the LANG to '' puts them in the right place alpahbetically
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> nipun:  then i guess you did somtuing wrong. or the grub got confused. If you are going to reinsatll ubuntu over top of the old. You can just delete the partitions. reboot  from cd. and start teh isntaller.
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> evergrenn:  No idea.  thers  an av wiki page or 2 out there.
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> evergrenn:  checck the package manager for clamav - theres really no need for it to show on the 'taskbar' youi use it to scan  a location and then its done.
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> evergrenn:  you do realize its main job is tojust scan your windows files for windows viruses right?
[15:14] <nipun> Dr_willis : okay,thanks. also, can 9.10 auto detect mobile phones as modems...because in 8.04,i've tried ...and it asked for the port. no use, as i tried every port.
[15:14] <evergrenn> yes
[15:14] <moldy> chrisw1: well, then apparently the en_GB.UTF-8 locale has a different definition of alphabetical order
[15:15] <dsfas> "sudo service networking restart" not working ubuntu 9.10...can anyone tell me whats the problem...
[15:15] <chrisw1> moldy: the ordering seems unlikely
[15:15] <moldy> chrisw1: not to me
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> nipun:  no idea.
[15:15] <soul_> i have updated ubuntu 9.10 and now the graphocs are bad and awn won't start
[15:16] <soul_> and i have that error
[15:16] <soul_> dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[15:16] <nipun> DR_willis : okay well,no problem.thanks for the help!! :)
[15:16] <chrisw1> why? why would en_GB place cgi.oad *after* cgid.load? I'm english, and that makes no sense to me...
[15:16] <IdleOne> soul_: did you run sudo dpkg --configure -a ?
[15:17] <Goliath> i have a problem with knetworkmanager. when i click the tray icon it says "network management disabled", my wlan0 is down also.
[15:17] <moldy> chrisw1: what ubuntu version are you running?
[15:17] <Pici> chrisw1: You may want to set LC_COLLATE to "C" if you are concerned with different ordering for alphabetized results.
[15:17] <chrisw1> LTS
[15:17] <chrisw1> Pici: it's mroe that the ordering for the locale is just plain wrong
[15:18] <dsfas> anyone there to help me out...
[15:18] <booh> Goliath: are you sure this is not a problem with your wireless driver?
[15:18] <chrisw1> no-one sane in the en_GB locale would sort cgi.load after cgid.load
[15:18] <IdleOne> soul_: please keep it in the channel. so others can also help/benefit
[15:18] <Goliath> booh: when i use network daemon and ifconfig i can connect, with no problem
[15:18] <soul_> oh sry
[15:19] <aaron11> can someone discribe what hapens when you install a Nvidia GeForce into a PCI express? I want to know if anything will screwup on Karmic Koala.
[15:19] <offy> in ubuntu server 9.10 I don't have sudo !! anymore
[15:19] <soul_> i did the dpkg command and it solved the problem, thx
[15:19] <jake__> hey i have a dazzle dvc 100 and i lost the old software to it...anyone know of a good program 2 use it on?
[15:19] <offy> in 9.04 I did
[15:19] <booh> aaron11: what do you mean by that? you put the card in the slot and it goes.
[15:19] <aaron11> offy: Imposiblw
[15:19] <soul_> i have another problem , the Disk utility keeps warning me about disk failling
[15:19] <soul_> is it a bug
[15:19] <soul_> ?
[15:19] <aaron11> offy: Imposible
[15:19] <IdleOne> soul_: unless you have a very specific reason not to upgrade the kernel when update-manager offers, you should install it
[15:19] <skysong> aaron11: if you meant the drivers, nothing wrong should happen.. didn't happen to me anyways
[15:20] <offy> "sudo !!"
[15:20] <dsfas> "sudo service networking restart" not working ubuntu 9.10...can anyone tell me whats the problem...
[15:20] <offy> sudo: !!: command not found
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> soul_:  look at the info its saying is failing.. ive some driuves  that the segate tools say is ok.. that  the disk utiklity tool goes on about because the # of bad sectors is 1 over the limit.. and has been for months...
[15:20] <aaron11> booh: I meant will it bring me to a black screen (terminal)
[15:20] <FazersOnKill_> Anyone have a good resource to get PPTP VPN Connection configured for Microsoft VPN Connection in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala?  Ive tried may things and get an error of "VPN Connection Failed"
[15:20] <soul_> i will install it , im just updating on many times coz of the slow internet
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> soul_:  so i just keep less impornatnat data on that drive just in case
[15:20] <booh> soul_: that depends on whether or not your disk is actually failing. how do you want us to determine that? with our telepathic powers?
[15:20] <skysong> aaron11: why don't you use the synaptic installation?
[15:21] <jake__> anyone know of a good program 2 use my video capture card with?
[15:21] <soul_> telepathic powers ? i don't have other hard disks
[15:21] <offy> Oh, root has the command sudo !!
[15:21] <MikeChelen> !sudo
[15:22] <booh> aaron11: it should not bring you to a black screen if the nvidia drivers work correctly
[15:22] <Goliath> i have a problem with knetworkmanager. when i click the tray icon it says "network management disabled", my wlan0 is down also.
[15:22] <soul_> so i can't back up my data , the laptop is still new ( bought it 3 or 4 months ago) but i used to install a lot of operating systems
[15:22] <aaron11> skysong: No. I meant after shutting down and replacing the card and turning it on, will it go normaly
[15:22] <dsfas> "sudo service networking restart" not working ubuntu 9.10...can anyone tell me whats the problem...
[15:22] <soul_> besides ubuntu is the only operating system that says i have bad sectors , Gparted doesn't say anything about that
[15:22] <booh> soul_: if it is 3-4 months old the disk should still work. where are you seeing this failing disk?
[15:23] <aaron11> soul_: Thats so weird but there are no bad sectors
[15:23] <soul_> ubuntu disk utility

[15:33] <yaramazgeyik> anyone help me ???
[15:33] <kflip2indy> same??

[15:33] <Dr_Willis> !ask | yaramazgeyik
[15:33] <guntbert> _UsUrPeR_: http://pastebin.com/f32ec2c7f here is mine - I guess its easier to figure it that way
[15:33] <jtaji> ranjan: the command is 'w'
[15:33] <RiotingPacifist> alankila: there isn't anything obvious in that file
[15:34] <jtaji> ranjan: another is 'who'
[15:34] <_UsUrPeR_> yaramazgeyik / kflip2indy: I think the way it works in here is you ask a question, and people who may know about your issue will help you out.
[15:34] <kflip2indy> lol
[15:35] <yaramazgeyik> i like desing a web site and which programme am i use ?
[15:35] <_UsUrPeR_> guntbert: ahh. so it's specified on a per-arch basis. I guess that makes sense. Thanks for your help :)
[15:36] <guntbert> _UsUrPeR_: no problem - have fun
[15:36] <kflip2indy> anyone know a good program to use a video capture card on? (usb)
[15:36] <Pici> !html | yaramazgeyik
[15:36] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: well, you have to learn to read it. It's definitely complaining about something. Alternatively, you can read the configure script to figure out what it's doing.
[15:37] <paulus68> I use Iptables and 2 different subnets now I want to connect to my internal network but I can't seem to get it correct how do I make this work? this is my iptables http://pastebin.ca/1730564  I can connect correctly to my server from my office but not directly to a pc behind my server the setup is as follows ISP=>router <IP_ADDRESS> => <IP_ADDRESS>server <IP_ADDRESS> to switch => wireless network
[15:37] <yaramazgeyik> which programa is same dreamweaver
[15:37] <_UsUrPeR_> yaramazgeyik / kflip2indy: see, now that you have asked these questions, I know that I cannot answer them, and would typically not reply. It's possible that everyone in here does not design web pages, or attempt to capture video ;)
[15:37] <booh> yaramazgeyik: try bluefish
[15:37] <kflip2indy> lol
[15:37] <kflip2indy> good point
[15:37] <flexible> hey what would be the best way to authenticate users on my HTTP server?
[15:37] <yaramazgeyik> ok
[15:37] <flexible> i don't want everyone having access to it as it is for server management
[15:37] <booh> !mythtv | kflip2indy
[15:38] <kflip2indy> ty
[15:38] <_UsUrPeR_> flexible: htpasswd?
[15:38] <booh> flexible: depends on your application
[15:38] <jtaji> kflip2indy: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video-editing.html
[15:38] <flexible> booh: nothing heavy... torrent management, router management, VNC etc
[15:39] <booh> VNC-over-HTTP?
[15:39] <booh> sounds like a nightmare
[15:39] <booh> flexible: each of those apps should have a builtin authentication scheme no?
[15:39] <flexible> well it is on the site more for convenience rather than use... if i'm not at home and i need visual access for example.
[15:40] <soul_> pls how can i take ownship of my hard disk partitions
[15:40] <soul_> i can't copy past anything
[15:40] <flexible> booh, yes they do but i want some sort of barrier for the main page, as it is all linked
[15:40] <RiotingPacifist> alankila: here is a pastebin http://pastebin.com/d66036dcb but there is "failed program was:" a whole bunch of stuff then "configure:23495: error: bad. Check config.log for details", nothing saying what is wrong
[15:40] <booh> flexible: you can restrict access from any network using iptables.
[15:41] <Guest5082> rf
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> soul_:  if they are ext2/3/4 filesystems you must chown/chmod the locatuions so they are accessable by whatever yser you want to use them
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> soul_:  if they are ntfs' you need to perhaps install/run the ntfs-config tool
[15:41] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: ok. I sort of expected to see the STDERR output somewhere
[15:42] <Guest5082> je veux une asian

[15:42] <yaramazgeyik> i thing kompozer is very good program...
[15:43] <yaramazgeyik> bluefish is bad
[15:43] <yaramazgeyik> think*
[15:43] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: ok, copypaste the failed program to a file and try to build it with the gcc -c -g -O2 etc. line
[15:43] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: configure is hiding the actual error for some reason
[15:43] <soul_> Dr_Willis they are ext4 , but im not good at commands , i hope u can write the whole command line
[15:43] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: the program starts on line 4444 on your paste and ends on line 4492
[15:44] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: the line 4303 contains the gcc command used to try & build it, which failed. configure stores its build test programs under name conftest.c.
[15:44] <moldy> chrisw1: i see nothing insane about it, it's just different.
[15:45] <chrisw1> moldy: its' wrong
[15:45] <moldy> chrisw1: as has been said, use LC_ALL="C" to eliminate locale peculiarites
[15:45] <ring1> how would i browse a mysql dump file? using gedit takes quite some time.
[15:45] <chrisw1> as someone with a pretty good knowledge of that localle, I am telling you it's wrong ;-)
[15:46] <moldy> chrisw1: if you think it is wrong, file a bug report.
[15:46] <chrisw1> already have ;-)
[15:46] <moldy> chrisw1: you should still use LC_ALL="C" anyway
[15:46] <jason_> is there a *buntu program that allows me to see the individual wireless access points in the area? Im at work working on a wifi network with 30 AP's but I can only see 1 through network manager. Is there any way to check out each individual one?
[15:46] <ranjan> jtaji:: one more thing is there any command that can display todays entire log details regarding who els have entered in this system  as it is becoming quite tedious to cake the log file .. individually
[15:47] <chrisw1> moldy: indeed, for this specific case, I agree
[15:49] <Alvinch> good evening
[15:49] <mbruins> hello Alvinch
[15:49] <jtaji> ranjan: besides looking at auth.log I'm not sure, I'm sure there's some log analyer software packages
[15:50] <jtaji> ranjan: for example I see auth2db...
[15:50] <RiotingPacifist> alankila: i can't see a conftest.c and running the file as gcc -c -g -O2   -DOPENSSL_NO_KRB5 filename gives "linker input file unused because linking not done", im not sure what i'm doing at this point tbh
[15:51] <ranjan> package is avilable in repo

[15:51] <jtaji> ranjan: indeed it is
[15:51] <ssv1994> hello, can I use ubuntu with my Internet provider? is it allowed?
[15:52] <|Slacker|> yes
[15:52] <mbruins> ssv1994: dont see why not.. but be more specific what kind of connection do you have?
[15:52] <ssv1994> adsl
[15:52] <mbruins> ssv1994: im almost certain it would be no problem
[15:52] <ssv1994> ok, thanks
[15:53] <mbruins> ssv1994: but you could give it a try with the live cd so you dont install anything yet
[15:53] <ssv1994> it works
[15:53] <mbruins> ssv1994: its all loaded in memory from there you can see if you have internet connectio
[15:53] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: well... err... there shouldn't be a message such as "linker input file unused".
[15:53] <mbruins> ssv1994: well than it will work well installed too :)
[15:55] <ssv1994> I have an nonelectrical phone used with my adsl
[15:55] <manjula> Hi All
[15:55] <ssv1994> hi
[15:55] <jshriver> greetings
[15:56] <jshriver> how do you record from the mic? I've tried asound, gnome audio recorder, tinkering with alsamixer. Can hear it if I use loop, but when I record all I get is static
[15:56] <NETabuse> how do i get sip setup on empathy?
[15:57] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: I have no idea why it failed to work for you. I just built the program and run it and it returned 0, indicating all is ok
[15:57] <NETabuse> i've tried googling, they say install telepathy-sofiasip, i did, but i don't see how to configure it in the accounts dialog?
[15:57] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: I used a line like: gcc -lssl conftest.c -o test, and then I did ./test and echo $?.
[15:58] <f13o> -j #helpmysql
[15:58] <manjula> can some one tell me where is the gdm.conf file in ubuntu 9.10 ?
[15:58] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: however, there were some unusual warnings spit out by gcc, such as: /usr/include/stdio.h:339: note: expected 'const char * __restrict__' but argument is of type 'struct _IO_FILE *'
[15:59] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: these are likely some subtle incompatibilities between openssl headers and the standard C library headers. I don't know what to make of these, but it's not good.
[16:00] <chazco> Hi... i'm trying to setup surround sound but Ubuntu doesn't detect it (stereo only)... it's an ALC660... any ideas?
[16:00] <RiotingPacifist> alankila: when i run gcc -lssl conftest.c -o test i get gcc: conftest.c: No such file or directory
[16:00] <manjula> what is the file that control the Login to ubuntu in 9.10 ??? with GDM manager please ?
[16:00] <Dr_Willis> manjula:  try 'locate gdm.conf' but note the gdm config stuff has radically cahnged in 9.10
[16:00] <jtaji> manjula: type 'locate gdm.conf' in a terminal
[16:00] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: yes, well, I stored the program used by configure under name conftest.c
[16:00] <Dr_Willis> manjula:  what are you tryign to change exactly?
[16:00] <manjula> Dr_Willis: i want to change "AllowRoot"=true
[16:01] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: I made conftest.c by downloading your configure log and removing the | character on each line of the program, so I got pure C source. I have no idea why configure adds such an annoying extra "| " at start of every line, but it does.
[16:01] <buntu-cn> ..
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> manjula:  egads.. thats a terriable idea.. good luck finding it in the new configs..
[16:01] <manjula> Dr_Willis: something similar like that :-) to enable root loging in GUI
[16:01] <buntu-cn> .w buntu-cn
[16:01] <necibex> hi, cvs winex compile help ?
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> manjula:  stop the gdm  service. sudo -s, in a consolem 'startx'
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> manjula:  and hope you dont trash things too badly
[16:02] <jtaji> manjula: horrible idea.. just use gksudo to launch programs as root if need be
[16:02] <manjula> Dr_Willis: my problem is in my laptop "enter" key just stop working i cant type anyting in terminal.. ofroucrse i can type but i cant "  enter" it
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> manjula:  so how are you going to enter text then to change the file?>
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[16:03] <manjula> Dr_Willis: GUI
[16:03] <kryl> hi
[16:03] <jshriver> Anyone know how to record from Mic?  All I hear is static
[16:03] <kryl> please how to survey modified files in real time ?
[16:04] <tolpico> In a shell script I want to process all files in a directory. So using a for loop, I want to get the file name, process and then get to next file. In simple words, I am looking for a variable which can hold the file name. Any ideas? Thanks

[16:06] <LuciusMare> hi
[16:07] <janhouse_> can I add echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to /etc/network/interfaces  ?
[16:07] <mka> !hi|LuciusMare
[16:07] <janhouse_> how?
[16:07] <LuciusMare> I have two computers, lets say box1 and box2. Box1 is running an openssh server,so i copied public key from box2 to authorized_keys on box1. However, even if the md5sums match (box1/~/.ssh/authorized_keys against box2/~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub)
[16:07] <LuciusMare> mka: i am not beginner,thanks :)
[16:08] <LuciusMare> i just find it rude to rush in a chan and ask for questions like i would be king and people my servants.
[16:09] <skrite> LuciusMare, use ssh-copy-id perhaps would be easier
[16:09] <LuciusMare> skrite: heh,i know,but it does not matter,for now
[16:09] <RiotingPacifist> alankila: hmm i just got a disk full error, i'll try moving everything to a larger partition thx for the help and sorry about wasting your time i didn't think of the obvious
[16:09] <cryptide> having some trouble installing mod_wsgi: http://dpaste.com/138865/ - i have apache2 & python2.6 installed and working

[16:10] <Matuku> Hello Ubuntu-ers; how do I go about removing a user from a group if that's the only supplemental group they're a member of? (from the terminal)
[16:10] <paulus68> what command do I need to type in the command line to see what distro I am using like ubuntu 9.10 for example

[16:10] <alankila> RiotingPacifist: heh, okay
[16:10] <paulus68> thanks
[16:10] <tolpico> jtaji, thanks, i read that, but i could not get it. For example >>for i in 'ls/bin'>>. Does 'i' hold the filename?

[16:27] <kwtm> Hi. Any way to get my laptop's current battery status with a cmd-line command?  I'd type "getbatt" or something, and it would say "Battery - 38% remaining" or something.
[16:27] <oorah> in thunderbird how come links won't open any other browser besides firefox? i prefer chrome
[16:27] <DexterLB> right, so I repeat my question after the netsplit ;)

[16:38] <kanishka> hello people
[16:38] <c3101> shakaran, it's a difficult one, as there is no clear pattern, sometimes msgid has content, sometimes not, but they are both valid, not easy in bash, possible in python

[16:44] <craig> ive lost the ability to print from my ubuntu machine. it says cups is no longer running and im also unable to add any printers (the ones i had are gone).
[16:45] <eman> can u downgrade 9.10>9.04?
[16:45] <bikedog1> i have no clue, i stopped dealing with ubuntu after the karmic alpha ended up better than the final release...
[16:45] <Alan502> jtaji, which config files should i backup if i'm about to change ip routes and similar?
[16:45] <eman> without reinstalling
[16:45] <mka> jukin, ALT+TAB
[16:46] <evergrenn> bikedog1.  What system do you use?
[16:46] <mka> craig, sudo service cups start
[16:46] <jukin> mka I know, but the problem is alt+tab works properly just not when in game
[16:46] <xok> hello all...
[16:46] <jukin> it does nothing in the game
[16:46] <jukin> I haven't attached it to any key bind in the game too
[16:46] <xok> anyone know how to add squashfs+lzma support to my running kernel?..
[16:47] <mka> jukin: what about putting the game on a separate workspace and do CTRL+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT
[16:47] <jneves> karmic: is there a configuration to stop GDM on each logout?
[16:48] <xok> hm, 1,300 people and no one even answers.. :-(
[16:48] <helen> can someone help me to add acpi=off to kernel line in that new grub
[16:48] <jukin> mka, yes i'll do that but alt+tab is more practical
[16:49] <tolpico> In an "if" condition -d is used to identify if a file is a directory file. How to check if its not a directory file? I used -!d, does not work.
[16:49] <xok> helen: shouldn't append work for it?..
[16:49] <jukin> mka,  thanks for the help anyway
[16:50] <helen> xok , beginner here , please type command line
[16:50] <xok> tolpico: if [ ! -d some_file ];then do_whatever_you_want "with some args" fi;
[16:50] <mka> jukin, it's like CTRL+V is used to paste but on terminal it doesnt work (its CTRL+SHIFT+V) maybe you have to check the alternative to ALT+TAB which is applicable to your game.
[16:50] <xok> helen: check your grub's "menu.lst" file and look for "append"...
[16:51] <tkbros> what's going on?
[16:51] <helen> xok , no menu.1st in grub 2 and thats the problem
[16:51] <jukin> mka, hm
[16:51] <xok> helen: sorry, not "append" that's for LILO, search for "kernel"..
[16:51] <tolpico> xok, thanks got it.
[16:51] <xok> helen: check how it calls kernel then and just prepend that line...

[16:57] <drtysouth> Hi
[16:57] <xcv> xok: booted the other kernel and checked blkid -- uuid appears identical
[16:57] <xok> xcv: remove that stupid UUID then and just tell him where the root is...
[16:58] <xcv> xok: ? e.g. /sdb1 ?
[16:58] <xok> xcv: e.g. /dev/sda1
[16:58] <zamba> i've set up a tftp environment for installing jaunty.. i now want to migrate this environment for karmic.. how can i do this?
[16:58] <whoever> jtaji: is there even a way to specify left or right in xorg grb
[16:58] <xok> xcv: yes..
[16:58] <SickAnimations> ugh, it's late :S
[16:58] <xcv> xok: 2nd physical disk, first partition, so, confirming... /dev/sdb1 ?

[17:04] <haresh> nope
[17:04] <jah> can someone tell me where the Services application is, i used to be under System > Administration
[17:04] <xok> haresh: if you wanted to say "what's the latest kernel for ubuntu" then I thing it's 2.6.31
[17:04] <jah> i'm on the new ubuntu 9.10
[17:04] <haresh> lol
[17:05] <xok> jah: "service" from RHEL based systems?...
[17:05] <jah> well all gnome systems had em too
[17:05] <jah> ubuntu had it in 9.04
[17:05] <jah> and before 9.04

[17:06] <adamkex> biopyte: warsow
[17:07] <cyan-spam> jah: ubuntu is switching away from an old method starting/stopping system services. they probably removed the "Services" configuration thing since half the services use one system and half use another
[17:07] <jah> wow ubuntu gets more and more dumb down
[17:07] <jtaji> jah: not at all
[17:07] <biopyte> adamkex,xok thank you guys, i check it out
[17:07] <adamkex> biopyte: i can give you the seven kingdoms binary later
[17:07] <adamkex> biopyte: it's difficult to get it work because it is getting ported from windows
[17:08] <biopyte> adamkex: thx, but i prefer ubuntu packages
[17:08] <adamkex> biopyte: i don't think there are any
[17:08] <jah> like thats an inconvience for me i like the services app and the control it gave me at selecting and deselecting which services run, has ubuntu thought about implimenting a gui appliction for its "new" way of handling services
[17:08] <LjL> /whois ljl

[17:13] <xok> zamba: np... ;-)
[17:13] <om26er> Darth_Si1istrus, which ppa you using?
[17:13] <tolpico> xok, in echo statement?
[17:14] <xok> tolpico: yes, you can use "basename $efile" to print out only base name of a file...
[17:14] <xok> tolpico: and remember: in unix world, everything is a file!...
[17:14] <mahngiel> hey gents. got a question that i'm not sure how to approach, so i'll just tell you where i'm at...
[17:15] <jozefk_> I have a USB IrDA and I installed irda-utils and don't know what else I need to do? ubuntu 9.10
[17:15] <xcv> xok: fdisk -l shows me something i've never seen before -- for sdb, 'Partition table entries are not in disk order'. other than that, the partitions are listed fine (sdb1, 9gb, /; sdb2, 30gb, /home; sdb5 2gb swap)
[17:15] <mahngiel> i started by installing the proprietary nvidia driver, and then learned better, and installed canonical's supported nvidia driver after deactivating nvidia's prop. driver
[17:15] <tolpico> xok, but it just prints "basename  /home/user/p/filename" including path
[17:15] <tkbros> good bye
[17:15] <mahngiel> now i believe, i need to purge nvidia so i can get back my xorg.conf
[17:15] <emmy> yahoo games keeps on crashing firefox
[17:15] <xok> tolpico: "basename" is command, kind of command... use it in such a way...
[17:16] <xok> kind of function*
[17:16] <x_> hi all.. what s the best dvd rip around
[17:16] <Darth_Si1istrus> or4n: I dont know, I want to install kubuntu-desktop
[17:16] <om26er> !best | x_
[17:16] <xok> tolpico: $efile = basename $efile
[17:16] <xok> tolpico: then echo it...
[17:16] <om26er> emmy, try chromium browser
[17:17] <mahngiel> how can i purge nvidia's proprietary driver?
[17:17] <bziobnic> my python2.5-minimal package is destroyed and I don't know how to fix. error is "files list file for package `python2.5-minimal' missing"
[17:17] <om26er> mahngiel, sudo apt-get purge nvidia-glx-*
[17:18] <Darth_Si1istrus> om26er: humm?
[17:18] <mahngiel> om26er: that'll remove the proprietary driver and it's xorg.conf, correct? and keep me with my canonical supported driver?
[17:19] <tolpico> xok, oops it prints an infinite loop of random characters . this is what i did according to what you told http://pastebin.com/m4855dca7
[17:19] <om26er> mahngiel, yes it should
[17:19] <xok> tolpico: try->  echo $(basename $efile)
[17:19] <om26er> Darth_Si1istrus, yes?
[17:20] <om26er> mahngiel, i don't know about the xorg.conf
[17:20] <xok> tolpico: if it won't work either, then use: "echo ${efile/*\//}
[17:20] <om26er> mahngiel, but properietry driver will sure get purged
[17:20] <tolpico> xok, oh got it thanks a ton.!
[17:20] <mahngiel> om25er: ok. i think i got it gone. now i need to remove the NVIDIA X server settings app that came w/ the prop driver
[17:20] <xok> tolpico: np...

[17:21] <om26er> mahngiel, click yes if you want to use nvidia settings

[17:22] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[17:22] <LjL> blackxored: polish
[17:22] <mahngiel> om26er: but clicking yes yields the mod to tell me i'm not using the nvidia x driver
[17:22] <blackxored> LjL, how
[17:23] <om26er> mahngiel, nvidia driver might not be activated i guess
[17:23] <om26er> mahngiel, system>administration>hardware drivers
[17:23] <mahngiel> om26er: ya, i purged canonical's, like i thought from the readout in the terminal
[17:23] <blackxored> anyone on debmirror?
[17:24] <mahngiel> om26er: doing it that way installs the proprietary nvidia driver... isn't that different from the canonical supported binary?
[17:24] <om26er> mahngiel, sudo apt-get purge nvidia-glx-* && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo reboot
[17:24] <xcv> xok: will get that here asap, will be a few min. thx

[17:24] <MrKeuner> Hello, I was aiming to transfer all files from old notebook(Karmic) to new one(Karmic)... I logged in the new notebook(using an ecrypted personal home folder) in the console, not in gdm. Also logged in the old notebook in the gdm and opened a sftp session and transfered all the files including .gconf etc. Everything went fine, transfered everything including a previously encryprted folder to the new one. Then rebooted the new notebook but now the
[17:24] <MrKeuner> encrypted folder does not mount giving an ERROR: encrypted private directory is not setup properly. ! Can I do something?

[17:29] <bodinux> Est-ce qu'il y a un français ici ?

[17:30] <xok> xcv: so, what we want now?.. sorry I forgot what we were doing.. :-D
[17:30] <cinco_> boa tarde

[17:30] <inferno_daulXEON> haha
[17:30] <erUSUL> !br | cinco_
[17:30] <mahngiel> om26er: i think the prop driver in the hardware mod is the same as the canonical??
[17:31] <xcv> xok: root is on /dev/sdb1, home is on /dev/sdb2... karmic 32bit on sdb, installed fine, updates installed 2.6.31-16-generic, which won't boot (help!). base kernel 2.6.31-14-generic still boots fine.
[17:31] <zamba> is there a way to automatically installed proprietary hardware drivers when installing the system?
[17:31] <zamba> (over tftp)
[17:31] <zamba> i'm using a preseed file
[17:31] <mahngiel> zama: not all proprietary drivers are good for you
[17:31] <zamba> mahngiel: i need the graphic drivers
[17:32] <vigge_sWe> hai
[17:32] <zamba> mahngiel: if available
[17:32] <xcv> xok: you suggested i replace the uuid with /dev/sdb1 but to check fdisk -l first
[17:32] <xok> xcv: ok, now you do such thing, in the boot menu type "c" and load kernel and initrd manually...
[17:32] <vigge_sWe> when load average is 5.94, does it mean 5.94% or 594%???
[17:32] <zamba> mahngiel: this is a full scale preseeding, so i really don't want to go from machine to machine to install the proprietary hardware drivers afterwards
[17:32] <xok> xcv: yeah, that also should work.. :-D
[17:32] <mahngiel> zamba: gotya.
[17:32] <zamba> mahngiel: possible or not?
[17:32] <xok> nice suggestion.. :-D
[17:32] <inferno_daulXEON> vigge_sWe  5%
[17:33] <mahngiel> zamab: i don't know.
[17:33] <vigge_sWe> k
[17:33] <xok> xcv: and when entering shell, try: fsck /
[17:33] <mahngiel> zamba: if all the systems are the same that you're mass installing, you could create your own livecd
[17:33] <xok> xcv: after that you should be able to boot into your new system...
[17:33] <vigge_sWe> so it is reasonable that when I run a http proxy with 18.7k pageviews, only 5% CPU is used? That would be quite nice I guess
[17:33] <xcv> xok: i have never before seen "Partition table entries are not in disk order"
[17:33] <xcv> xok: any cause for concern with that?
[17:33] <mahngiel> zamba: i don't know whether or not you could script to auto install
[17:34] <mahngiel> brb. need to reboot
[17:34] <xok> xcv: I don't thing.. I haven't seen that either.. try first to use /dev/sdb1 instead of UUID...
[17:34] <mahngiel> sudo nvidia-xconfig
[17:34] <mahngiel> lol, wrong box
[17:34] <xok> xcv: oh, yeah... don't remove the UUID line..
[17:34] <xok> xcv: just comment it out...
[17:34] <inferno_daulXEON> vigge_sWe it wouldnt make sense to be  over %100 unless you have multiple processors. ie an intel i7 with HT enabled shows up as 8 cores. and it might see it as 800% or two quads without HT might produce the same thing
[17:35] <xok> xcv: if it won't work, come and we'll try to find out what's wrong...
[17:35] <xcv> xok: ty. giving it a shot.
[17:35] <vigge_sWe> I think the server got 4 CPUs
[17:35] <xok> xcv: maybe your new kernel needs some modules/drivers?...
[17:35] <erUSUL> vigge_sWe: is   ~594% --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing)#Unix-style_load_calculation
[17:35] <vigge_sWe> http://www.datashelf.net/munin/exchangecore.com/lmao.exchangecore.com-load.html so min load is 0.05% or 5%?
[17:35] <erUSUL> vigge_sWe: load average is not the same as cpu load
[17:36] <vigge_sWe> oh
[17:36] <erUSUL> vigge_sWe: see the page i linked
[17:36] <mka> !join
[17:36] <smith> hi
[17:36] <inferno_daulXEON> yea min loAD looks like .05%
[17:36] <mka> hi smith
[17:36] <xcv> xok: if so, i'd be happy for someone to help me figure out how/why, lol. ttyl
[17:37] <xok> xcv: I mean you should update all those modules/drivers...
[17:37] <xok> xcv: running "depmod" should work...
[17:38] <moldy> hi
[17:38] <moldy> is there a way i can lock a user's screen such that he cannot unlock it himself?
[17:38] <xcv> xok: base kernel boots fine; after updates the new kernel fails to boot. well, will try editing the grub menu to replace uuid with /dev/sdb1 and see how it goes
[17:38] <vigge_sWe> so if I wanna do a gauge from 1 -> 100% (or 400% if there is 4 CPUs), how would I be able to calculate that?
[17:39] <xok> xcv: also new kernel may expect new modules to be looaded...
[17:39] <erUSUL> vigge_sWe: what are you trying to do ?
[17:39] <inferno_daulXEON> I cant get video to work on this server. It was running kubuntu and I installed a matrox card and now no video... I wanted to switch it to ubuntu anyway so i did sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop  and still no video
[17:39] <xok> xcv: for that purpose you may run "depmod"... don't forget to check "uname -a".. if you're in the new kernel...
[17:39] <_magez_> how do i add tables to an already existing database in mysql using commandline
[17:39] <vigge_sWe> http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/gallery/gauge.html, the CPU gauge, for my server, just for fun and learning purpose xD
[17:39] <Slart> moldy: not really.. that seems like a very odd feature.. perhaps like a lock screen thing but with a costomized password
[17:40] <erUSUL> inferno_daulXEON: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'
[17:40] <koltroll> I'm finding it really hard to hit the corners of the window to be able to resize them, is this something that one can change settings for?
[17:40] <_magez_> from a file that one was
[17:40] <moldy> Slart: think of a classroom scenario... i once found some screensaver that supported this, but it was a rather esoteric one
[17:40] <Slart> koltroll: it might depend on the theme you're using
[17:40] <koltroll> Slart, guess i'm just using the 'normal' one that comes with the standard install
[17:41] <mka> _magez_, what do you  mean by you last statement?
[17:41] <xok> _magez_: mysql -h localhost -u   root -pSomePass 'crate table database.table blah blahblah'
[17:41] <Slart> koltroll: take a look at gnome-look.org .. try a different look.. see if that helps
[17:41] <koltroll> Slart, ok will do. cheers
[17:41] <erUSUL> vigge_sWe: so you want a gauge that displays load average ?
[17:42] <SmithKurosaki> hi?
[17:42] <erUSUL> !hi
[17:42] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL I did that and then gdm stop and startx and my screen still goes blank until I ctrlshiftaltF1
[17:43] <vigge_sWe> nope, I didn't know load average != CPU usage before you told me, I would want it to go from 0% - 100% (You might see that I am a windows user xD), is there a shell command to get the CPU usage?
[17:43] <_magez_> mka, i have a file jhiaptha.sql which is a table from a different database, now i want to add it into my database which is missing that table, how do i do it?
[17:43] <llutz> vigge_sWe: htop, top, ps
[17:43] <erUSUL> inferno_daulXEON: edit your xorg.conf to force the use of the mga driver ?
[17:43] <Slart> moldy: I wonder what happens if you create another user and then runs the screensaver as that user.. perhaps it asks for that uses password then
[17:44] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL ---negative... do you have the reference for that config
[17:44] <Slart> moldy: there are some apps for classrom monitoring and such..perhaps one of those has this feature
[17:44] <mka> _magez_,  "man mysqldump"
[17:45] <vigge_sWe> Cpu(s): 0.1%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.9%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st, it's the first one, isn't it?
[17:46] <erUSUL> inferno_daulXEON: man xorg.conf
[17:46] <erUSUL> vigge_sWe: if you install systat package you can use « sar -P ALL »
[17:46] <bambam_> I have just installed ubuntu 9.10 gnome
[17:47] <bambam_> and facing issues with internet broadband connection
[17:47] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL Ahhh i hate "man" so hard.... 30 pages of babble I wont need. Time to google it
[17:47] <mka> _magez_, mysqldump --user=root --password=yourpass destination_database_name < dumpfile.sql
[17:48] <mka> bambam_, what are you using for internet?
[17:48] <yezi875> ubuntu9.10
[17:48] <yezi875> 开始
[17:48] <Ricoshady> so for a server, why should I use Ubuntu over debian? I've heard debian is more stable.
[17:48] <bambam_> After plugging in the ethernet cable, it gives message that it is connected, it even let me ping google etc but it wont let me browse through mozila etc
[17:48] <guntbert> !ot | Ricoshady
[17:48] <mrk> hi all
[17:48] <_magez_> mka aint working that one :-/
[17:48] <llutz> Ricoshady: you should use what you feel comfortable with.
[17:49] <mka> _magez_, how do you know?
[17:49] <bambam_> mka: well I am trying to update system, try to join IRC chats but it doesnt let me
[17:49] <tolpico> Anyone please have a look at this script http://pastebin.com/ma521eb8
[17:49] <mka> bambam_, can you connect to google with firefox?
[17:49] <Ricoshady> llutz that makes sense, I guess Im looking for some opinions as to why they like unbuntu more
[17:49] <_magez_> because the new table isnt there, it just gives me all the lines that file includes to the commandline
[17:49] <guntbert> tolpico: #bash might be better suited
[17:50] <urthmover> I am trying to install Karmic 64bit on a Dell GX280 desktop.  It has a SATA hard drive in it.  Using the installer from a bootable thumb drive, on step 4 of 7 using the Install Ubuntu 9.10 wizard the Prepare partitions is entirely blank.  I have run mount from the CLI and I do not see the SATA hard drives.  I have run gparted and the SATA drive is there (/dev/sda)  I have partitioned the drive and formatted with ext4, yet I do not see an
[17:50] <llutz> Ricoshady: never ask users why they like their distro more.... 99% just FUD/bashing
[17:50] <tolpico> guntbert, oh sure thanks, i almost forgot that
[17:50] <guntbert> tolpico: :)
[17:51] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL thank you for pointing me in the right direction
[17:51] <bambam_> mka: no I can't
[17:51] <erUSUL> inferno_daulXEON: no problem
[17:51] <xok> tolpico: efile = ${efile##*/}
[17:51] <mka> bambam_, what type of internet connection do you have?
[17:51] <xok> tolpico: efile=${efile/.*/}
[17:51] <bambam_> mka: broadband adsl
[17:52] <moldy> Slart: hm, good idea, actually
[17:52] <mka> bambam_, have you paid for it, this month? :)
[17:52] <xok> tolpico: efile= <<, betweeen variable and equal sign there shouldn't be any empty space...
[17:52] <bambam_> urthmover: you need to change property in your bios for harddrive
[17:53] <bambam_> I dont remember but even I had to do it in order to install other OS like ubuntu or suse
[17:53] <xok> tolpico: try with this: http://pastebin.com/d373f2640
[17:53] <bambam_> urthmover: It is a feature of dell laptops, I also one studio
[17:53] <urthmover> bambam_: ok  what setting in my bios do you think?
[17:53] <bambam_> mka: Yes, I pay my dues regularly
[17:54] <urthmover> bambam_: I'll reboot and look for something regarding alternative BIOSs
[17:54] <zamba> $HOSTNAME is a variable that's available during boot-up?
[17:54] <bambam_> urthmover: Dont remember to be honest, but I had to enable ahcpi or something
[17:54] <urthmover> bambam_: ok I'll look in there and be back with my results  thanks
[17:54] <bambam_> no problem
[17:55] <tolpico> xok, Error: Couldn't open file 'filename': No such file or directory.
[17:55] <xok> tolpico: do you need to have the full path for that file?... (I mean $efile)
[17:55] <phani> Hi . I am trying to uninstall vmplayer but i get errors. Could you please give me any suggestions. Any ideas how to overcome this issue The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[17:55] <phani>   vmware-player-2.5: Depends: vmware-workstation-6.5-kernel-modules but it is not installed
[17:55] <phani> E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
[17:55] <mka> bambam_, does the network icon on the panel indicate that you are connected? check your network interface if ever you IP address is assigned properly and that your DNS settings are set appropriately. if you are behind proxy, configure proxy settings accordingly
[17:56] <slibuntu> phani, are you trying to install the package or uninstall it?
[17:56] <xok> tolpico: never mind, I gave you the great example, now play with it... ;-)
[17:56] <tolpico> xok, no, the script will be run from the directory containing pdf files
[17:57] <mr101> hola
[17:57] <phani> slibuntu:i am trying to uninstall it
[17:57] <mka> phani, to remove it try sudo apt-get remove package-name
[17:57] <tolpico> xok, sure thanks, btw this is my first shell script
[17:57] <xok> tolpico: why not to use then "for efile in *" then?..
[17:58] <xok> tolpico: congrats... ;-)
[17:58] <slibuntu> phani, it seems counter intuitive, but try installing the package that it says is missing before uninstalling
[17:58] <tolpico> xok, ok will check with that
[17:58] <bambam_> mka: yeah , it shows I am connected, it gives me an ip address, I can ping any website without problem, there are no proxy , I have also set direct connection and checked firefox settings too
[17:58] <slibuntu> phani, use sudo apt-get install *missing package name*
[17:58] <bambam_> I havent made any dns related changes though
[17:58] <phani> slibuntu:how can i find what the packages are missing. any ideas ?
[17:59] <bambam_> mka: the command ifconfig shows that connection is there and everthing is fine
[17:59] <slibuntu> phani, vmware-workstation-6.5-kernel-modules is the one you are missing
[17:59] <slibuntu> so run 'sudo apt-get install vmware-workstation-6.5-kernel-modules'
[17:59] <bambam_> mka: also tried ifup eth and ifdown to check but no luck
[18:00] <mka> bambam_, you can ping google.com?
[18:00] <bambam_> mka: yes but can not tracert it !
[18:00] <xnox> One one of my machines I don't have sudo, but I want to install python-module with c-extensions. Can I unpack it in my home directory and move files around such that python as run by me will still find everything?
[18:00] <phani> slibuntu: so i ran the command which you have given and I think it was successful.
[18:00] <xnox> I mean unpack a compiled .deb
[18:01] <bambam_> mka: I played with network tools to check connection issues but obviously I am missing something
[18:01] <phani> slibuntu: so shall i try uninstall and see if it works now ?
[18:01] <slibuntu> pahni, now try to uninstall vmplayer
[18:01] <phani> ok
[18:01] <slibuntu> phani, yep :_
[18:01] <slibuntu> :)
[18:01] <mka> bambam_, try "sudo cat /etc/resolv.conf" and see if it has some nameservers
[18:02] <bambam_> mka: it is empty
[18:02] <bambam_> except it has my modem address
[18:02] <phani> slibuntu:Still i can get errors. Where I can paste this error log and show it to you ?
[18:02] <guntbert> !pastebin | phani
[18:02] <slibuntu> pastebin.com
[18:02] <slibuntu> thanks ubottu
[18:03] <ArmaganKoca> hello, i am using ubuntu 9.10 in english with turkish keyboard default. i add another layout which is russian. i want to change layouts while  chatting with pidgin or ams
[18:03] <ArmaganKoca> n
[18:04] <mka> bambam_, that's the problem
[18:04] <bambam_> ok
[18:04] <bambam_> what should I do then ?
[18:04] <phani> slibuntu: Here is the log: http://pastebin.com/m70bd1ba1
[18:04] <iceroot> bambam_: is your modem also a dns-server? (is the modem a router?)
[18:04] <brant> ??????
[18:04] <guntbert> mka: bambam_ 's modem *could* act as nameserver though...
[18:04] <bambam_> mka: Yes it is router as modem
[18:05] <bambam_> and it is my gateway too
[18:05] <iceroot> bambam_: then its ok that there is the adrress of the modem
[18:05] <brant> what to talk about
[18:05] <iceroot> bambam_: what is the current problem?
[18:06] <slibuntu> phani, did somehting go wrong when you installed vmplayer?
[18:06] <bambam_> It just doesnt let me use network connection for any application whether it is firefox or system update or apt-get or anything, I can't even try trace route command
[18:06] <bambam_> mka: it just allows ping thats all after getting connected
[18:06] <phani> slibuntu:actually i tried installing vmplayer 3 but it didn't work. So my vmplayer doesn't open at all. So I tried uninstalling it but now it doesn't work at all
[18:07] <iceroot> bambam_: ping <IP_ADDRESS>  is working but ping alpha-unix.de is not working?
[18:07] <bambam_> mka: I have trashed mozile conf files, deleted eth0 connection and created new one but doesnt work
[18:07] <bambam_> mka: the problem is more complex
[18:07] <bambam_> mka: it can ping ip address as well as fqdns
[18:08] <mka> bambam_, is the firefox's "Work offline" checkbox checked
[18:08] <bambam_> mka: so I can ping google.com as well as the ip address of google server
[18:08] <Soundaholic> hey is it possible to hook up two monitors of different resolutions ( 1440 x900 and 1368 x 768 ) to a graphic card (8600GTS) with dual output ports  on ubuntu 8.04LTS
[18:08] <Soundaholic> ?
[18:08] <erUSUL> !twinview
[18:08] <alankila> Soundaholic: yes. You get a nonrectangular desktop
[18:08] <evaluate> hello
[18:08] <bambam_> mka: nope it is not, moreover the problem is not just with firefox, I can't even use pidgin or xchat
[18:08] <InsomniaCity> Hi! Compiz seems to have stopped working - I've lost all my effects and so on. Are there any logs I can look at?
[18:09] <mister_roboto> bambam_:  can you "telnet google.com 80" ?
[18:09] <mka> bambam_, can you browse a site like google by it's IP address?
[18:09] <guntbert> bambam_: to pinpoint the problem: try w3m www.google.com (its a text based browser)
[18:09] <Soundaholic> and what is a non rectangular desktop
[18:09] <Soundaholic> ?
[18:09] <alankila> One that is not a rectangle.
[18:09] <bambam_> mister_roboto: I havent tried telneting google, but tried telnet my router which worked
[18:09] <Soundaholic> :/
[18:10] <mister_roboto> bambam_: i'm just wondering whether it will connect beyond your router
[18:10] <Soundaholic> so some space on each of the monitor will be left blank?
[18:10] <bambam_> mka: no I can not browse by ip either
[18:10] <mka> InsomniaCity, there was something like compiz-check back in the day, google for it
[18:10] <daftykins> Soundaholic: i've done that before, the second screen kinda went a bit funny. i find nvidia twinview easier to operate with identical resolution screens, however you can use it configured as two separate X servers easily.
[18:10] <MrKeuner> how can I add a new user with an encrypted home directory?
[18:10] <bambam_> mister_roboto: then how does it ping google.com ?
[18:10] <alankila> Soundaholic: no, the monitors will be fully used. Only that the pointer for instance jumps when you move it between screens vertically because of the differing resolutions.
[18:10] <phani> slibuntu:any more ideas which i can try in uninstalling the existing version
[18:10] <mka> InsomniaCity, otherwise type "compiz --replace" on terminal and check the messages that come out
[18:11] <evaluate> if i remove a package using 'apt-get remove' it removes the package but leaves configuration files there. I can avoid this by using apt-get remove, but if i use 'apt-get autoremove' to unistall a bunch of packages there's no way of removing the configuration files. Now my question is, if i uninstalled a bunch of packges using apt-get autoremove is there anyway to automatically remove the configuration files of all of that packag
[18:11] <slibuntu> phani, having a look around, can't find anything in relation to your error, and it's not something I've seen before
[18:11] <alankila> the desktop as an abstract canvas has an unusual shape, and it's a minor annoyance when moving things between desktops, working out good dual-monitor backgrounds, and so on.
[18:11] <pdragon_> hi dose anyone know anything about virtual box ose for network bridging
[18:11] <mka> bambam_, that is not a dns problem i thought it was then
[18:11] <mister_roboto> bambam_: ping has the setuid bit set on it. runs as root.   can you "sudo firefox" and then browse?
[18:11] <InsomniaCity> mka: hmm, ta for that. It was turned off in the Appearance applet, but that wasn't me. I'll take a look at those if it happens again.
[18:11] <Soundaholic> well i will be using those desktops differently
[18:11] <emmy> has anyone else had firefox crashing on yahoo games (maybe it's the java?)
[18:11] <Soundaholic> one will be placed on the wall and other on the table
[18:11] <phani> slibuntu:ok no problem. Will try to dig some more. Thanks for the help :)
[18:11] <guntbert> pdragon_: please ask in #vbox
[18:11] <bambam_> mister_roboto: sudo firefox ? :O how ?
[18:11] <llutz> bambam_: IF, use gksudo firefox, not sudo
[18:12] <alankila> Soundaholic: I guess that's fine then.
[18:12] <guntbert> bambam_: dont
[18:12] <mister_roboto> bambam_: from the command line
[18:12] <slibuntu> phani, try sudo apt-get remove --purge vmplayer.....
[18:12] <Soundaholic> i am just concerned abt the configuration effort
[18:12] <pdragon_> #vbox
[18:12] <guntbert> !gksudo | bambam_ mister_roboto
[18:12] <bambam_> mister_roboto: never tried that, but will give it a go
[18:12] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL are you still around?
[18:12] <llutz> mister_roboto: don't recommend running gui-apps with sudo please
[18:12] <erUSUL> inferno_daulXEON: yes
[18:12] <fwiffo> i've disabled gdm and now audio doesn't work. what's this nonsense?
[18:12] <pdragon_> what do you mean #vbox
[18:12] <mister_roboto> guntbert: yes that's all well and good IF YOU'RE ON UBUNTU with gnome :)
[18:12] <dsl_> oh dear, i have 'mount of filesystem failed' on my recent install of karmic. i installed an started to use a program (Gramps) just before it crashed big time and shut down. I have 'a maintenance shell will now be started' followed by blah blah - invalid RT chipset detected blah blah failed to allocate device. Any suggestions? I just did disk check from install CD an all reported ok
[18:12] <guntbert> pdragon_: the channel
[18:12] <Soundaholic> is it difficult to handle such two screens of different res for me and my graphics card
[18:12] <Soundaholic> ?
[18:13] <mister_roboto> guntbert: sudo will work perfectly fine as a test here
[18:13] <guntbert> !wfm | mister_roboto
[18:13] <mka> fwiffo, how did you disable gdm?
[18:13] <vigge_sWe> lol hai It's me again xD
[18:13] <slibuntu> phani, gtg, hope someone else can help you..
[18:13] <emmy> is the icedTea the right plugin to use for javaapplets?
[18:13] <mka> fwiffo, how do you login into your machine then?
[18:13] <mister_roboto> guntbert:  he's trying to test his network connection here and access control to the network device. we're not talking about general ways to operate
[18:13] <emmy> !info icedtea
[18:13] <fwiffo> mka: commented out the line in /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[18:13] <inferno_daulXEON> I've been digging around and checked the xorg.conf man but I don't think I have found what I need. I keep finding dual screen xorg.conf's but nothing that just shows me how to set up one
[18:13] <vigge_sWe> I found this on google saying it would return CPU uasage "top -b -n 1 | awk 'NR>7 { sum += $9; } END { print sum; }'", is it true (don't wanna mess things up)
[18:13] <mister_roboto> guntbert: christ, there's a time to be anal and a time to just get down to testing
[18:13] <bambam_> Ok, I will sudo or gksudo firefox and see if it works ! but what are we trying to achieve by doing it ?
[18:14] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL  - I've been digging around and checked the xorg.conf man but I don't think I have found what I need. I keep finding dual screen xorg.conf's but nothing that just shows me how to set up one
[18:14] <mka> fwiffo, what for?
[18:14] <bambam_> why can not I tracert using network tools here ?
[18:14] <fwiffo> mka: to make gdm go away
[18:14] <Gaming4JC> Hey all, I'm trying to get my USB keyboard to work on grub boot in ubuntu 9.10. The keyboard works fine in the distro but totally useless at grub. It seems to have been files as grub bug here: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28400
[18:14] <Soundaholic> will the graphics card have difficulty in displaying on monitors with different res
[18:14] <guntbert> mister_roboto: please listen: one call of sudo firefox *can* screw your settings - so please don't remommend that
[18:14] <Soundaholic> ?
[18:14] <Gaming4JC> so my question is, how do I get grub to detect my keyboard using the lsmod thing? :)
[18:14] <mka> fwiffo, what do you want to achieve by doing that?
[18:14] <fwiffo> mka: doing what?
[18:14] <llutz> bambam_: are you sure your router is OK?
[18:15] <inferno_daulXEON> Gaming4JC - do you have usb devices turned on in your bios?
[18:15] <mka> fwiffo, how do you login into your machine then when you throw gdm away?
[18:15] <fwiffo> mka: /bin/login?
[18:15] <bambam_> llutz: yes, because I am using it right now with Opensuse and Konversation !
[18:15] <erUSUL> inferno_daulXEON: try this then « sudo xorg -configure » that generates a xorg.conf that you can then modify
[18:15] <guntbert> and mister_roboto for testing the connection there are many apps better suited than firefox anyway
[18:15] <Gaming4JC> inferno_daulXEON: yes and it works in cmos, on windows, and in ubuntu. Just not at grub. :/
[18:15] <mister_roboto> guntbert: that is why i suggested telnet
[18:15] <mister_roboto> to port 80
[18:15] <mka> fwiffo, what about bringing it back and enabling automatic login?
[18:16] <emmy> I opened firefox with the terminal to see any errors, I went to yahoo games, and it crashed with a segmentation fault.
[18:16] <steveccc> does anyone know how good the pentium dual core processors are compared to a core 2 duo
[18:16] <emmy> surely this is a bug in firefox?
[18:16] <guntbert> mister_roboto: which was "a very sensible thing" (TM) :-) - and I will not bother you any more
[18:16] <erUSUL> steveccc: pentium dual core <<< what generation of pentium ?
[18:16] <mka> fwiffo, anyway which sound are you referring to then?
[18:16] <fwiffo> mka: not an option, i just want to disable this clusterfuck. but when i do, i have no sound.
[18:16] <Gaming4JC> emmy: Sounds like it, but I've never had any problems with Yahoo Games before... You sure Java is properly installed?
[18:16] <daftykins> steveccc: i run an E2810 2GHz pentium dualcore in my file server, i bought it thinking it was a c2d embarassingly, but it performs well and is quite low power with speedstep enabled. they're very capable processors imo
[18:17] <inferno_daulXEON> Gaming4JC - i thought it was worth asking. If you don't have it turned on your keyboard will work when in BIOS and activate when the OS loads but not during the grub menu.
[18:17] <mka> fwiffo, is your language friendly to my kids?
[18:17]  * Gaming4JC ponders grub bug...
[18:17] <mister_roboto> bambam_: tracert runs as your regular user id, unlike ping. so it's looking like an access control type of problem
[18:17] <dsl_> anyone help with my question up there ^^ please... I dont want to re-install unless really necessary :(
[18:17] <newbux> any idea on how to fix "kernel panic-not syncing VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown-block.."; i got this when upgrading from <IP_ADDRESS> to ...16
[18:17] <bambam_> mister_roboto: you mean to say I need elevate user permissions over here ?
[18:18] <Gaming4JC> inferno_daulXEON: I'll double check cmos
[18:18] <Gaming4JC> brb
[18:18] <Gaming4JC> :)
[18:18] <Soundaholic> steveccc:  core2 duo is way better than pentiums
[18:18] <raj> Guys I need help to figure out something. MY BELKIN USB WIFI is only giving a very low internet speed. and im paying for a 25
[18:18] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL sudo xorg -configure doesnt work... is it xserver-xorg -configure?
[18:18] <daftykins> dsl_: ask again
[18:19] <raj> Guys I need help to figure out something. MY BELKIN USB WIFI is only giving a very low internet speed. and im paying for a 25 MBS connection. any ideas? the linux driver for is is bust i need help. (it worked out of the box) but SLOW
[18:19] <erUSUL> inferno_daulXEON: Xorg with capital X (linux is case sensitive ya'know ;P)
[18:19] <daftykins> dsl_: have you tried mounting it from a livecd or similar?
[18:19] <steveccc> soundaholic: was asking as man of the cheap laptops seem to be pentium dual core than core 2 duo
[18:19] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL haha silly me
[18:19] <emmy> gaming4jc -- it's possible i have installed java twice because i used some auto installer thing from java itself and also some thing from synaptic
[18:19] <dsl_> i installed and ran Gramps a program on a relatively fresh install of karmic. it crashed big time and ended up shutting down. now i have 'Mount of filesystem failed' on boot with error - Invalid RT chipset detected
[18:20] <newbux> fix "kernel panic-not syncing VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown-block.."; i got this when upgrading from <IP_ADDRESS> to ...16"
[18:20] <daftykins> steveccc: to be honest i'd avoid the pentium dual cores on the basis that they're 1) older 2) (i think) all lack hardware virtualisation support, which may or may not be a concern for you but is for me
[18:20] <Soundaholic> core 2 duos are cheap
[18:20] <dsl_> i used UNR cd to check disk...says its ok
[18:20] <dsl_> but i dint mount the HD
[18:20] <llutz> raj: what is "very low internet speed"?
[18:20] <Soundaholic> even those in lower end range are much better than pentiums
[18:20] <fwiffo> what'
[18:20] <Soundaholic> try E4400
[18:20] <fwiffo> what's the recommended way for disabling gdm?
[18:20] <bambam_> mister_roboto, mka, guntbert: thanks for the tips, I will try and comeback
[18:20] <Soundaholic> if its still available
[18:21] <fwiffo> if i comment /etc/X11/default-display-manager, my sound stops working
[18:21] <guntbert> bambam_: Good luck :-)
[18:21] <emmy> im not sure how to uninstall the java from the autoinstall bin thing
[18:21] <meero> is there a way to create reverse tunnel from server to client - after the connection is established?
[18:21] <steveccc> daftykins: oh i would always opt for core duo but trying to help the mother in law buy a laptop and I think for her browsing and watching a few videos they may be ok
[18:21] <aeon-ltd> fwiffo: are you planning on falling back to xinit or something?
[18:21] <bambam_> guntbert: thanks
[18:21] <fwiffo> aeon-ltd: yeah
[18:22] <daftykins> steveccc: ah right yeah, that'd be plenty then - my 2GHz pentium dualcore runs two VMs and a host OS and is very speedy, so the average light web user would be fine
[18:22] <Doonz> hey if i want a cron job to run every 2 minutes would it be */2 * * * *
[18:22] <newbux> anyone know how to fix "kernel panic-not syncing VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown-block.." when trying to boot up?  i got this when upgrading from <IP_ADDRESS> to ...16
[18:22] <aeon-ltd> fwiffo: why not just apt-get remove gdm? after setting up .xinitrc?
[18:22] <Trebla> does KVM switch cause problems with networking between ubuntu and windows?
[18:22] <llutz> meero: ssh -nNT -R 1234:local.mydomain.com:1234 remote.mydomain.com
[18:22] <aeon-ltd> fwiffo: are you with gnome?
[18:22] <adamkex> newbux: downgrade
[18:22] <Sabari> Hi
[18:23] <Sabari> I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 in my desktop that had Windows 7
[18:23] <fwiffo> aeon-ltd: nope, xmonad
[18:23] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL I did it, and it told me to test use X -confgure /blah.../xorg.conf.new   and then I got a bunch of errors
[18:23] <Sabari> I am now not able to go past the grub
[18:23] <Sabari> May i know what might be the issue?
[18:23] <fwiffo> aeon-ltd: i could apt-get remove it if i knew that my sound would work again
[18:23] <erUSUL> inferno_daulXEON: care to paste the exact output ?
[18:23] <erUSUL> !paste
[18:24] <Sabari> I am not even able to boot using the live CD
[18:24] <Sabari> When I remove the Harddisk and use the live CD, it works
[18:24] <fwiffo> aeon-ltd: maybe gdm starts some extra daemons
[18:24] <aeon-ltd> fwiffo: thats fine then just remember all start-up items and write then into your .xinitrc if you need to, as for no sound check if alsamixer is resseting after wm changes
[18:25] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL Im on irc on a laptop.
[18:25] <fwiffo> aeon-ltd: i've checked alsamixer, everything is unmutted and maxed out
[18:25] <emmy> I got some thing i downloaded from java that i thought gave you java applet ability, it was an auto-installing executable binary, now how do I uinstall that?
[18:25] <dsl_> daftykins: removed the usb wireless stick and booting now just shows 'mount of filesystem failed a maintenance shell will be started' and get a prompt
[18:25] <P-Nuts> Sabari, look in your BIOS settings for boot order, and make sure CD is before hard disk
[18:25] <Sabari> Yes
[18:25] <aeon-ltd> fwiffo: like you said check daemons
[18:25] <Sabari> I am able to boot to the CD only if I remove the Harddisk
[18:25] <erUSUL> inferno_daulXEON: ok; so maybe to test the new config you just have to « sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf » then restart gdm
[18:26] <daftykins> dsl_: so you fsck'd using UNR?
[18:26] <inferno_daulXEON> alrighty then.
[18:26] <fwiffo> aeon-ltd: maybe i should dbus-launch it, i'll try that
[18:26] <fwiffo> brb
[18:27] <dsl_> daftykins: er, i used UNR disk to check integrity of disk and it says all ok... fsck = filesystem check? (newish to linux here :) )
[18:27] <Trebla> the manager at office depot said that most new laptops will not let you erase hard drive and install a different OS
[18:27] <alokito> I can't connect to facebook either with pidgin or kopete facebook plugin :(
[18:27] <dsl_> daftykins:can i do that from this root prompt?
[18:27] <alokito> What can be the problem?
[18:27] <bastid_raZor> Trebla: please, take that nonsense to #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:27] <herriojr> hey, so I just upgraded to 9.10 and now I no longer have /usr/bin/jni which is needed for subclipse in eclipse, I also can't find anything online about this, anyone know what package I may need to install?
[18:27] <dsl_> daftykins: yes i can!
[18:27] <BenG92> I can't load Ubuntu 9.10 anymore, and it comes up with this error: [ 1.551839] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3) any ideas?
[18:28] <erUSUL> !find /usr/bin/jni
[18:28] <llutz> BenG92: boot live-cd, fsck your partitions
[18:28] <herriojr> ubottu: is there an alternative?
[18:28] <Trebla> why am I off topic?
[18:28] <dsl_> daftykins: Inodes that that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found. Fix <y>?
[18:28] <FatherBadouch> Okie, need help restoring Grub after windows install.
[18:29] <daftykins> yeah if you aren't that worried about the data on there just try whatever it suggests to fix it dsl_
[18:29] <Trebla> I tought this was a support channel\
[18:29] <AlanF> in what lib is  _XFreeFont and other such _X... defined in?
[18:29] <FatherBadouch> "sudo grub" says : grub: command not found
[18:29] <BenG92> llutz i run ubuntu through windows without a partition
[18:29] <guntbert> Trebla: yes ubuntu-support
[18:29] <Gaming4JC> Infared: Thanks, the CMOS "Legacy USB Keyboard" option was indeed disabled. Now it works fine. :D
[18:29] <emmy> i did this , how can i uninstall it -- http://java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#selfextracting
[18:29] <aeon-ltd> FatherBadouch: look up 'supergrubdisk'
[18:29] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL : i get   (EE) MGA(1): Cannot read V_BIOS (3) Input/Output Error  (EE )MGA(1):  Unable to map BAR 0. No such file or directory (2)    then some backtrace options and  Saw signal 11. Server aborting
[18:30] <FatherBadTouch> aeon-ltd: where?
[18:30] <aeon-ltd> FatherBadouch: btw grub is not a command
[18:30] <dsl_> daftykins: I'm not worried about it at this moment but if it's going to do it with my real data I'll be dumping ubuntu :(
[18:30] <aeon-ltd> FatherBadouch: on googlw
[18:30] <aeon-ltd> FatherBadouch: on google
[18:30] <FatherBadTouch> sudo grub
[18:30] <inferno_daulXEON> Gaming4JC no problem
[18:30] <erUSUL> inferno_daulXEON: are you sure the graphic card is ok ?
[18:30] <bastid_raZor> !fixgrub | FatherBadTouch ..follow this guide
[18:30] <P-Nuts> alokito, http://philliptweedie.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/facebook-chat-with-empathy-in-ubuntu-karmic/
[18:30] <Gaming4JC> *Inferno, thanks. (sorry about nick problem)
[18:30] <Gaming4JC> :)
[18:30] <inferno_daulXEON> Gaming4JC its cool I know what you meant
[18:31] <alokito> thanks P-Nuts , I haven't tried in empathy yet :)
[18:31] <daftykins> dsl_: if it was an upgrade install versus a fresh Karmic install then i wouldn't be surprised with issues - after that i'd blame the PC quicker than ubuntu :)
[18:31] <erUSUL> !find /usr/lib/jni
[18:31] <Gaming4JC> Now for a very minor issue, Rhythmbox stops playing CDs after about the 3rd track on anything I give to it. Dunno why it just locks up and I loose sound. pkill and restart fixes it, but still. :(
[18:31] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSULpretty sure... It worked before I put it in an antistatic bag and flew with it and reinstalled it in another pc
[18:31] <AlanF> in what lib is  _XFreeFont and other such _X... defined in? I know it's part of X11-Devel but which lib is it actually defiend in?
[18:31] <trism> emmy: this document http://java.com/en/download/help/5000011600.xml implies that they don't supply an uninstallation script, so you need to delete the directories manually
[18:32] <emmy> trism, okay
[18:32] <emmy> trism, i think i sort of did that, thank you.
[18:32] <FatherBadTouch> Okie so the big problem I'm reading right now...Ubuntu 9.10 is what I have on the partition however I have 9.04's livecd
[18:32] <emmy> trism, Im trying to figure out why, when i get past the captcha here, and get to the yahoo game, firefox often crashes --- http://games.yahoo.com/games/ante?room=go_beg_ca_b&prof_id=chat_pf_1
[18:32] <erUSUL> inferno_daulXEON: maybe it is loose in the pci slot ? dunno those errors (can not read bios unable to map BAR) etc... are pretty serious... maybe the kernel just screw up big time
[18:33] <dsl_> daftykins: it's a fresh install about 3 days old with not many changes yet. it had a lot of errors....rebooting
[18:33] <trism> emmy: yahoo's java applets are very poorly implemented, I often have problems with them on both windows and linux (they haven't been updated in years)
[18:33] <P-Nuts> alokito, main point is to use the plugin from the Google Code page, the one in the repositories is out of date
[18:33] <AlanF> anyone? I've searched all over I can't find where these are actually defined in
[18:33] <daftykins> dsl_: is it a desktop computer? custom build? very old?
[18:34] <daftykins> not that i'm likely to solve anything mind, just curious
[18:34] <dsl_> daftykins: toshiba satellite about 1 year old but low spec
[18:34] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL yea but I have video output during setup and crap. weird part is that I just tried to edit my BIOS and it wouldn't because of a video error.... so maybe i need to hook up the VGA and edit the BIOS before I try to use the card's DVI ?
[18:34] <Gaming4JC> trism: It works fine on Windows last time I tried it. I'll try to load it in ubuntu now. :P
[18:34] <administrador> hola
[18:34] <dsl_> booted normally now
[18:34] <Gaming4JC> !hi administrador

[18:34] <Gaming4JC> !spanish administrador
[18:35] <sadgno> hello
[18:35] <Gaming4JC> ah
[18:35] <guntbert> FatherBadTouch: use sudo fdisk -l
[18:35] <Gaming4JC> es
[18:35] <Gaming4JC> :P
[18:35] <dsl_> daftykins: it does seem to have a problem with it's in-built wireless, I'm using a plug-in wireless on it instead. maybe it has a motherboard problem??
[18:35] <erUSUL> inferno_daulXEON: the V_BIOS is the bios in the video card not the mobo's bios. so maybe there is a resource conflict going on in the pci devices
[18:35] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL hahahahahahha it just worked for no reason.... awesome
[18:35] <FatherBadTouch> guntbert: ty
[18:35] <dsl_> daftykins: is there a way to see what caused the crash?
[18:35] <AlanF> does anyone know??
[18:36] <guntbert> FatherBadTouch: every one stumbles over that - once :-)
[18:36] <daftykins> dsl_: i'm too newbie for that i'm afraid
[18:36] <Gaming4JC> emmy: Yahoo Games loaded here, are you running the latest FireFox and Java? I'm running 9.10 x64
[18:36] <Pici> AlanF: #ubuntu-x might be able to answer your question, as its a bit too development oriented for #ubuntu
[18:36] <erUSUL> inferno_daulXEON: lovely; :/ i hate heisenbugs
[18:36] <kristian_> dependencies are broken, neither can install nor remove any packages.
[18:37] <dsl_> daftykins:no problem, thanks for the help anyway, at least its back on its feet. I'll run that program again see if it bombs out, at least I'll know if that was the cause :)
[18:37] <erUSUL> kristian_: sudo apt-get -f install
[18:37] <kristian_> erUSUL, did that.
[18:37] <erUSUL> kristian_: sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a
[18:37] <daftykins> dsl_: my pleasure :)
[18:38] <inferno_daulXEON> erUSUL  yea man... now I just need to figure out what the screen information is so I can configure it.... its not detecting it so its stuck at 640X480.... not optimal for a 42" tv

[18:39] <luisgmarine> hey quick questions guys I added the ppa for banshee on hardy
[18:39] <AlanF> no one knows? I thought this was ubuntu linux support channel, why does everyone ignore what should be very simply question
[18:39] <luisgmarine> but the version is old (1.4) when 1.5 is already out
[18:40] <chazco> Hi... i'm trying to setup surround sound but Ubuntu doesn't detect it (stereo only)... it's an ALC660... any ideas? Details - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8575367
[18:40] <Pici> luisgmarine: What version was available in the PPA?
[18:40] <kitche> AlanF: umm if you don't know that answer XFreeFont is in the freefont stuff and _X comes from any of the X packages really
[18:40] <luisgmarine> Pici: 1.5
[18:41] <Pici> luisgmarine: Do you have a link to the ppa that you can share?
[18:41] <luisgmarine> Pici: I don't knwo if it has to do anything because I'm using hardy instead of karmic
[18:41] <luisgmarine> yeah one sec

[18:41] <Klavier> how can i use sed command with escape character for quotes... i want search and replace a string like search: <asd'""!  replace: <sdcsd'""'
[18:41] <PrototypeX29A> how does users-admin determine which users to are to be listed?

[18:42] <Pici> luisgmarine: okay, one moment
[18:42] <luisgmarine> Pici: I see 1.5.4 for karmkic, but the one for hardy is still at 1.4.3
[18:43] <Pici> luisgmarine: Then theres nothing you can do.
[18:43] <MrKeuner> how can I add a new user with an encrypted home directory?
[18:43] <luisgmarine> Pici: that's BS, lol
[18:43] <luisgmarine> Pici: I rolled back to LTS for a more stable system.  Not so I can suffer new features of few selected programs that I use on a day to day basis
[18:43] <paulus68> I use Iptables and 2 different subnets now I want to connect to my internal network but I can't seem to get it correct how do I make this work? this is my iptables http://pastebin.ca/1730564  I can connect correctly to my server from my office but not directly to a pc behind my server the setup is as follows ISP=>router <IP_ADDRESS> => <IP_ADDRESS>server <IP_ADDRESS> to switch => wireless network
[18:44] <luisgmarine> I don't mind that my libs aren't up to date, or what ever, but I don't see the problem of installing the newest version of a certain program
[18:44] <Pici> luisgmarine: More stable means that you will not be running the latest and greatest software.
[18:44] <iceroot> paulus68: your router dont have <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:44] <mister_roboto> AlanF: nobody is answering because it's too simple and you probably already know the answer ;)
[18:44] <luisgmarine> my understanding was that only affected ubuntu packages, like libraries and gnome and stuff
[18:44] <emmy> Gaming4JC, yeah pretty sure. im running the firefox that comes with xubuntu 9.10 and the java from the repos
[18:44] <emmy> Gaming4JC, but it loades for me to also but then when i resign or something it crashes
[18:45] <paulus68> iceroot: my router has <IP_ADDRESS> to be exact
[18:45] <Pici> luisgmarine: If you contact the Banshee Team, there is a chance that they could provide a build of the newer version for Hardy.
[18:45] <blistov> What can cause a system to swap, when there is 3GB of memory free? (4GB available, 2.5GB cache, .5GB free, 1GB swap used and actively swapping)
[18:45] <iceroot> paulus68: ok
[18:45] <iceroot> paulus68: forwarding enabled?
[18:45] <Gaming4JC> emmy: Hmm.. may be a firefox bug then. You can submit it to their bugzilla.

[18:46] <paulus68> iceroot: from my office for example
[18:47] <daftykins> paulus68: you need a router between the 0.x and 3.x subnets
[18:48] <FatherBadTouch> Okie ppl.
[18:48] <daftykins> ah i saw your earlier message, can you draw a diagram with interfaces and IPs?
[18:48] <FatherBadTouch> Now I have a bigger problem.

[18:54] <genii> FatherBadTouch: OK. Grub changed from 9.04 to 9.10 ... did you keep grub1 when you upgraded, or installed grub2 ?
[18:54] <FatherBadTouch> genii: not sure, how would I find out?
[18:55] <genii> FatherBadTouch: If you mount the old root  ( / )  then you can see if grub.cfg exists (grub2) if only menu.lst then grub1   (this in the old /boot/grub directory)
[18:55] <bobik> i really sorry that i am disturbing you but how to use !ask ?
[18:55] <paulus68> daftykins: any thoughts
[18:56] <daftykins> paulus68: so what's not working?
[18:56] <daftykins> i don't 100% get your setup to be honest
[18:56] <yoshio_221> hey guys i tried wubi and it didnt work before, so i reformatted my computer with a clean install of xp pro. i used wubi, then the files were created i checked, but after reboot to continue installation it says it cant find installation.iso, but its there. ive tried to cd, but doesnt work. am i missing something? i checksummed and everything.
[18:56] <FatherBadTouch> genii: you just spoke leagues outta my abailities
[18:57] <JuniorSta> someone could help me install the bluetooth in hp pavilion
[18:57] <trism> bobik: it was just a trigger for the bot to tell you to ask your question
[18:57] <paulus68> daftykins: well I can connect from the outside network towards my server however  I can't connect directly to my laptop for example it doesn't get passed my server with iptables running
[18:57] <bobik> aa thanks
[18:58] <yoshio_221> hey guys i tried wubi and it didnt work before, so i reformatted my computer with a clean install of xp pro. i used wubi, then the files were created i checked, but after reboot to continue installation it says it cant find installation.iso, but its there. ive tried to cd, but doesnt work. am i missing something? i checksummed and everything.
[18:58] <FatherBadTouch> genii: If I do a fresh install with a 9.10 live CD will that work?
[18:58] <genii> FatherBadTouch: Do you know how to use the pastebin website?
[18:59] <konman> yoshio_221: why not just use the live cd?
[18:59] <yoshio_221> it doesnt read either
[18:59] <chazco> Hi... i'm trying to setup surround sound but Ubuntu doesn't detect it (stereo only)... it's an ALC660... any ideas? Details - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8575367
[18:59] <FatherBadTouch> genii: Forget that option, I have to back-up before I re-install. And I sort of know.
[18:59] <genii> FatherBadTouch: A fresh install should do it, yes
[18:59] <konman> how did you burn it?
[18:59] <yoshio_221> it says the live filesystem cannot be found
[18:59] <yoshio_221> poweriso
[18:59] <yoshio_221> it works on other computers
[18:59] <yoshio_221> i meet all the requirements
[19:00] <ikor> which nvidia driver in the repo should I use for me NVIDIA GeForce G210M ?
[19:00] <daftykins> paulus68: you have IP forwarding enabled already i take it?
[19:00] <ikor> *my
[19:00] <alokito> now gnome indicator applet is bugging me :|
[19:00] <FatherBadTouch> genii: So before I can fresh install I need to back-up files. So we have to go back to what we were doing.
[19:00] <alokito> Is there a way to shut its mouth?
[19:00] <konman> so the problem is related to the pc
[19:01] <konman> laptop?
[19:01] <paulus68> daftykins: yes I do, everything is working like it should however I can't establish a connection directly to my laptop behind the server
[19:01] <alokito> ah sorry wrong channel, meant to post it at ubuntu offtopic :-S
[19:01] <yoshio_221> the hardware? no its a desktop with 1 gb ram and 320gb hard drive
[19:01] <FatherBadTouch> genii: should I download the 32 bit or 64 bit live cd for kk?
[19:01] <daftykins> paulus68: have you tried using wireshark to sniff incoming packets and determine the point of failure?
[19:02] <bastid_raZor> ikor: doesn't hardware/restricted drivers offer a driver?
[19:02] <genii> FatherBadTouch: If you pastebin results of: sudo fdisk -l                   then we can try to deduce from that which partitions to mount and retrieve your data from. As for 32 or 64 bit, it depends on what processor(s) you have. although 32 works in either case
[19:02] <ikor> bastid_raZor, no, it doesn't say anything
[19:03] <paulus68> daftykins: I want to forward for example radmin which uses standard port 4899(which is going to be changed)
[19:03] <FatherBadTouch> genii: amd 62x2
[19:03] <FatherBadTouch> genii: 64x2
[19:03] <bastid_raZor> ikor: 9.10 normally installs them for you.
[19:03] <MrKeuner> was .ecryptfs carried out to /home with Karmic update or did I mess up something?
[19:03] <ikor> bastid_raZor, the open source drivers are installed at the moment
[19:04] <FatherBadTouch> genii: http://pastebin.com/m7cadab42
[19:04] <genii> FatherBadTouch: Thats a 64bit, you can d/l the 64bit
[19:04] <frostburn> does unetbootin/netbookremix no longer work?  I can't get my usbdrive to boot the latest release
[19:05] <spank> ciao a tuti
[19:05] <Pici> !it | spank
[19:06] <spank> sorry Pici :D
[19:06] <paulus68> daftykins: No since I don't know how to use it have heard from the program
[19:06] <daftykins> paulus68: usually with port forwards i like to have nmap scans to test to show whether the port remains 'filtered' 'closed' or 'open' - that and wireshark or tcpdump to diagnose the problem would be handy. beyond that i'm afraid i'm too much of a newbie to diagnose iptables configs
[19:06] <daftykins> is your router pure CLI?
[19:07] <genii> FatherBadTouch: OK, so open up Terminal and in there:  sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt                 and this will splice the old linux install into the directory of /mnt
[19:07] <bastid_raZor> ikor:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto  you can look here for which driver best supports your card.
[19:08] <matteo1990> i want to set up a wireless network between 4 pc. How to do this in Ubuntu? The network will be mainly used by linux users
[19:08] <FatherBadTouch> genii: kk, now what?
[19:08] <paulus68> daftykins: on my server it's iptables that are used as router
[19:08] <genii> FatherBadTouch: You should be able then to browse to /mnt/home/your-old-username             and find whatever files you wanted to salvage
[19:08] <daftykins> paulus68: ok nevermind
[19:08] <xover> Why can I not ping my other ubuntu machine, yet when he pings me it starts working from my side.
[19:08] <ikor> bastid_raZor, i did an update and now 'hardware drivers' has found three drivers
[19:08] <paulus68> daftykins: what are the commands for nmap and how would I use wireshark to find out if everything is working correctly?
[19:08] <ikor> thanks
[19:08] <hikenboot> msg nickserv identify pie3141
[19:09] <bastid_raZor> ikor: nice, try the one it recommends
[19:09] <genii> FatherBadTouch: Work requires me, I'll be /away 5-10 minutes
[19:09] <hikenboot> damn
[19:09] <daftykins> paulus68: does your server have X installed so you can use GUI apps, or is it CLI only? (command line interface)
[19:09] <guntbert> hikenboot: change your pasword
[19:09] <hikenboot> yeah , now i have to figure out how
[19:09] <paulus68> daftykins: only CLI
[19:10] <daftykins> paulus68: from on someone elses internet connection i would do "nmap -sS -p 3000-3005 <your internet facing IP>" to scan ports 3000-3005 for example
[19:12] <luisgmarine> Pici: you still around?
[19:12] <ShaunR> whats the difference between ubuntu and the ubuntu server edition... is it just a cd with different set of packages on it?  If sombody installed a very basic slimed down version of ubuntu can they just install the server packages on it to make it the same as the server edition?
[19:13] <Pici> luisgmarine: Yes
[19:13] <paulus68> daftykins: but I can scan my external ip the same way or am I wrong?
[19:13] <erUSUL> ShaunR: yes
[19:13] <iceroot> ShaunR: server cmes without a gui and a special kernel
[19:13] <iceroot> ShaunR: and server-edition is using pae as default (imo)
[19:13] <guntbert> hikenboot: /msg nickserv help
[19:13] <paulus68> daftykins: or do I have to run over my dyndns?
[19:13] <daftykins> paulus68: i'm not sure if it will give correct results from inside the network
[19:13] <ShaunR> so it's all the same crap... just different packages installed by default.
[19:13] <luisgmarine> Pici: cool, gona e-mail the dude that makes the builds and ask him if there is any way to make an updated one for ubuntu hardy.
[19:13] <mka> iceroot, what is pae?
[19:13] <daftykins> i usually scan from someone elses internet connection
[19:13] <MatBoy> can I make a hidden partition vidible using fdisk in ubuntu ?
[19:13] <ShaunR> any one of them can be converted using apt pretty much
[19:14] <iceroot> mka: the possibility of using more then 4gb ram with 32bit
[19:14] <luisgmarine> Pici: you wouldn't happen to know a fix around why my ipod isn't detectable in banshee do you?  I tried the "killall -9 nautilus" fix that I use in karmic but it just freezes my whole computer on Hardy
[19:14] <hikenboot> ok here goes, my original question before exposing my password..I have created an encrypted swap file ( just for the fun of it). After setting it up it appears to be enabled but it never uses it! do i have to do something besides swapon -a and a reboot?
[19:14] <adminewb> Regarding wifi drivers: the device model I'm looking at has linux driver source at the mfg website, but I can't tell if it's 32 bit only or can be compiled as a 64 bit native driver. Just a matter of build switches? How to tell?
[19:14] <ShaunR> mka: Physical Address Extension
[19:15] <eman> is there a way to install linux mint without formating over my ubuntu/
[19:15] <Pici> luisgmarine: I've never actually used Banshee, sorry.
[19:15] <FatherBadTouch> How do I get the livecd to recognize my second dvd drive?
[19:15] <tvjudge> I am trying to add a static route in my ubuntu hardy machine, however I am using the gnome-network manager and the /etc/network/interfaces has no references for my wlan0 could that be why when i add the up line in that files it does not work?
[19:15] <adamkex> eman: you can make a new partition
[19:15] <adamkex> eman: otherwise no
[19:15] <luisgmarine> Pici: damn that sucks
[19:15] <adminewb> hikenboot, this may be no help to you, but I'd think swapon -a is unnecessary if you're about to reboot anyway
[19:15] <luisgmarine> Pici: o well time to keep googling then
[19:15] <eman> adamkex would that dual boot it?
[19:15] <guntbert> hikenboot: did you add an entry in /etc/fstab for it?
[19:16] <xtjacob> hello! For some reason compiz only works on one user and cannot be enabled on the other. I'm using the open source ati driver.
[19:16] <adamkex> eman: yes
[19:16] <hikenboot> yes i did and also /etc/cryptab
[19:16] <eman> adamkex thanks il just format it
[19:16] <adamkex> eman: in the future you should considering to have a partition for /home
[19:17] <adamkex> eman: so you don't lose personal data when you reformat/reinstall
[19:17] <FatherBadTouch> How do I mount my second dvd drive while running the livd cd?
[19:17] <matteo1990> hi all, i have to set up a wireless network between 4 ubuntu pc.. how to do it?
[19:17] <daftykins> matteo1990: without any hardware?
[19:18] <HFSPLUS> Why does ubuntu put excessive load cycles on my laptop hdd?
[19:18] <genii> FatherBadTouch: If you stick something in the second drive, like a readable CD or a blank, it should pop up a notice and ask what you want to do
[19:18] <matteo1990> daftykins, they are all connected to the same wireless router
[19:18] <paulus68> daftykins: when I use your command on the open port then I get this output 5001/tcp filtered unknown
[19:18] <FatherBadTouch> genii: wb, it does not.
[19:18] <konman> adamkex: don't try it
[19:18] <jason_> Is there a wya to install the latest google earth besides the .bin file? Or is the bin file the way to go?
[19:18] <adamkex> konman: huh?
[19:18] <erUSUL> !medibuntu | jason_
[19:18] <iceroot> jason_: there is a repo from google
[19:18] <eman> adamkex thanks
[19:18] <jason_> oh no kidding?
[19:18] <adamkex> eman: you're welcome
[19:18] <iceroot> jason_: besides medibuntu
[19:19] <daftykins> paulus68: isn't it 4899 you want to test?
[19:19] <jason_> I didnt realize google earth was in medibuntu...
[19:19] <genii> FatherBadTouch: What is result of command in Terminal of:  ls /dev/cd*
[19:19] <jason_> so if the repo is includedinmedibuntu, and I got that, what do I need? sudo apt-get install googleearth?
[19:19] <paulus68> daftykins: true but I checked one for which I know it's open but with access to my server only
[19:19] <S0LIDUS> Hi, I have recently recompiled my kernel to <IP_ADDRESS> and now I dont have sound. Any ideas ?
[19:19] <erUSUL> jason_: yes; or use synaptic
[19:19] <daftykins> matteo1990: they should already be all connected then with IP addresses in the same range
[19:19] <konman> adamkex: didn't work out for me somehow
[19:19] <FatherBadTouch> genii: "/dev/cdrom /devcdrom1 /devcdrw1"
[19:20] <adamkex> konman: what, dual boot? or /home partition?
[19:20] <erUSUL> S0LIDUS: we can not support custom kernels. maybe you just left out the sound driver when compiling ...
[19:20] <daftykins> paulus68: if that was scanning internally then it probably won't work
[19:20] <jason_> erUSUL - well Im on kubuntu... no synaptic installed. I was in add/remove in system settings but I didnt find any google earth package besides the data files.
[19:20] <matteo1990> daftykins, yea, they are, but how to have shared library or to copy files from a pc to another?
[19:20] <erUSUL> jason_: "adept" then
[19:20] <paulus68> daftykins: I ran that scan from my external ip address
[19:20] <FatherBadTouch> genii: /dev/cdrom1 /dev/cdrw1
[19:20] <S0LIDUS> erUSUL - How can I add that ?
[19:20] <jason_> erUSUL - adept doesnt ring a bell. Let me browse around to see if I have it here.
[19:20] <BlouBlou> How can I stop apache in ubuntu?
[19:20] <konman> home partition would be awesome but somehow it kept unmounting
[19:21] <iceroot> BlouBlou: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
[19:21] <jason_> erUSUL - kpackagekit?
[19:21] <daftykins> matteo1990: i think you need to look into samba
[19:21] <erUSUL> jason_: could be
[19:21] <adminewb> Regarding wifi drivers: the device model I'm looking at has linux driver source at the mfg website, but I can't tell if it's 32 bit only or can be compiled as a 64 bit native driver. Just a matter of build switches? How to tell?
[19:21] <genii> FatherBadTouch: It's seeing it. cdrom1   is most likely. Did you put a blank cd in, to copy off what you wanted to save?
[19:21] <BlouBlou> iceroot: yeah, thanks
[19:21] <jason_> erUSUL - no dice. I wonder what kubuntus synaptic is???
[19:21] <matteo1990> daftykins, i thought samba was only for cross system condivision, i am only with unix (all ubuntu)
[19:21] <FatherBadTouch> genii: I did. Unbuntu hasn't liked using both drives at the same time though.
[19:21] <adamkex> konman: that means you did something wrong, i have had one for over two years :P
[19:21] <erUSUL> !info adept
[19:21] <konman> xD
[19:22] <hikenboot> here is my crypttab and fstab http://pastebin.ca/1730994
[19:22] <daftykins> !samba | daftykins
[19:22] <adamkex> konman: ;)
[19:22] <matteo1990> !samba | matteo1990
[19:22] <genii> FatherBadTouch: You should be able to open up Brasero and tell it to use cdrom1 in it's settings
[19:22] <daftykins> matteo1990: yeah you can use NFS / SFTP etc for same host sharing i suppose
[19:23] <mka> FatherBadTouch, are you trying to mount a CD/DVD on drive B while you have a LiveCD on drive A?
[19:23] <daftykins> have you tried just right clicking on a folder and sharing it?
[19:23] <S0LIDUS> erUSUL, So how can I add the sound driver?
[19:23] <Mo> does anyone know what's this user account: 'irc'
[19:23] <konman> my usb hub does not always have enough power for my home hd all the time :(
[19:23] <wolter> can i tell my system to look for ~/.config files at ~/.local/config ?
[19:23] <matteo1990> daftykins, maybe thats the easier solution, trying it right now
[19:23] <S0LIDUS> Mo, Internet Relay Chat !
[19:23] <lstarnes> Mo: do you have an irc server installed?
[19:23] <Mo> i dont
[19:23] <lstarnes> Mo: where is that account>
[19:24] <adamkex> konman: your home partition should NOT be an external drive ;p
[19:24] <FatherBadTouch> mka: yes
[19:24] <konman> i know now
[19:24] <adamkex> konman: it makes it easier for me to read what you write if you write my name when you write to me
[19:25] <Mo> i dont see irc's user folder in /home though.
[19:25] <konman> adamkex: ok
[19:25] <paulus68> daftykins: but how would I use wireshark to check port 5001 and why it's blocking on my server?
[19:25] <mka> FatherBadTouch, are you inserting a data CD, audio CD or a blank CD?
[19:25] <FatherBadTouch> mka: blank cd
[19:26] <mka> FatherBadTouch, can you try inserting a data CD?
[19:26] <daftykins> paulus68: it's a GUI tool really, you might be able to install it and X forward SSH to the router PC and run it on another machine over the network - but otherwise i think tcpdump is the best for that - but i have no experience with it
[19:26] <adamkex> konman: yeah, assuming you don't run windows or any other os, you should split your harddrive at least 15gb for the root partition ( / ), 20 is better, 1gb for the swap partition, and the rest for your home partition :)
[19:26] <adminewb> Regarding wifi drivers: the device model I'm looking at has linux driver source at the mfg website, but how to tell if it's 32 bit only, or can be compiled as a 64 bit native driver. Just a matter of build switches?
[19:26] <konman> adamkex: opensuse does that
[19:26] <paulus68> daftykins: I know it's a gui I have installed it on my windows to see what I can do with it
[19:27] <FatherBadTouch> mka: it opened it in a browser
[19:27] <mka> FatherBadTouch, imho, you cannot mount a blank cd
[19:27] <mka> FatherBadTouch, then it works
[19:27] <daftykins> paulus68: yes but on the router is where i'd run it in order to sniff what's coming in and out of that system ;)
[19:27] <FatherBadTouch> mka: so why doesn't it recognize a blank dvd?
[19:27] <adamkex> konman: i have never ran opensuse :P i sometimes use ubuntu, arch, and gentoo, so many times i have to do a lot of the stuff myself
[19:27] <konman> haha arch is fun
[19:27] <paulus68> daftykins: jikes blond moment
[19:27] <bastid_raZor> Mo: irc is a group not a user..
[19:28] <adamkex> konman: yeah, you can try the ubuntu mini cd, that will give you a _VERY_ minimalistic system
