[19:45] <wubiii> skltlf i am not downloading anything, the iso is already downloaded, i run a setup and it is not progressing, i dont know how to cancel it and shutdown the pc
[19:46] <__Alex_> sevith: You can enter single-user mode (Root) by using the 'single' option in tke Kernel line of lilo.conf or menu.lst or whatever you use.
[19:46] <skltlf> ahh
[19:46] <skltlf> whats the distro, MINT?
[19:46] <sevith> Ahh. So single will bring me into a root console? :/ !
[19:46] <trism> sevith: don't use single, use 'text', it is checked in /etc/init/lightdm.conf and the service won't load
[19:46] <wubiii> this is the most horrible linux installation i have used so far
[19:47] <skltlf> wubiii: mint installer?
[19:47] <wubiii> which brings a firefox where i can open freenode but "doesnt progress"
[19:47] <trism> sevith: or alternatively, echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/lightdm.override; (assuming you are using oneiric)
[19:47] <__Alex_> Arch linux has woth no dobut the best installer
[19:47] <__Alex_> *with
[19:47] <skltlf> agreed
[19:47] <sevith> what is lightdm the manager for? Im using xfce
[19:47] <wubiii> the GUI hides why it got stuck ...
[19:47] <skltlf> yes
[19:48] <wubiii> no terminal where i can open
[19:48] <wubiii> pretty messed up
[19:48] <skltlf> wubiii: do you have a geforce graphics card by chance?
[19:48] <sevith> trism, I have no lightdm anything on my machine :(
[19:48] <__Alex_> wubiii: try CTRL+ALT+F2
[19:48] <trism> sevith: xubuntu-desktop deps on lightdm in oneiric, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[19:48] <sevith> trism, 10.04
[19:49] <pangolin> sevith: lightdm is used by Unity, chenage it for xdm in the command trism gave you.
[19:49] <Seryth> wubiii: To get back to interface press ctrl + alt + f7 or f8
[19:49] <pangolin> change*
[19:49] <llutz> sevith:should be gdm or gdm2 then
[19:49] <__Alex_> f8 it is on FreeBSD
[19:49] <sevith> pangolin, I removed startup links for xdm and still it boots to the GUI
[19:50] <bananstol> how do i stop x11? i tried "service lightdm stop," but i get "stop: Unknown instance:" i am running ubuntu  11.10
[19:50] <Slor> I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 (yeah, still) with both eth0 and wlan0 network connections.  I would like to force outgoing traffic to use the wlan0 interface, which I know I can do if I manually update the routing table and manually update my resolv.conf so I can find the right nameservers.  What I would like to know is whether or not I can configure something to force NetworkManager to prefer the
[19:50] <Slor> wlan0 interface over eth0 so that I don't have to do these manual steps.  Basically, I only need to get in (like from a VNC client) on the wired connection and anything I do within the box needs to be trying to go out on the wireless.
[19:50] <bananstol> hmm
[19:50] <bananstol> nvm
[19:50] <h00k> bananstol: try sudo before that
[19:50] <bananstol> yeah i did
[19:50] <skltlf> wubiii: still need to know if you happen to have a geforce graphics card and if it is the linux mint installation
[19:51] <wank> bananstol: sudo stop lightdm
[19:51] <__Alex_> bananstol: sudo killall X* lightdm* gdm* xf*
[19:51] <sevith> Oops. lol
[19:52] <sevith> HRRRMMM.
[19:52] <wank> mmm
[19:52] <skltlf>  I'm using ubuntu studio KDE environment, curious with the multiple desktops if it is possible to only show the windows on that particular desktop in the taskbar, and if there is a way to force an application to be in the quick launch section and NOT be in the taskbar?
[19:53] <Demonstrate> SkiDawg: quick launch? those are configureable.
[19:53] <meskarune> skltlf: there should be something in teh menu options
[19:53] <Demonstrate> SkiDawg: check out ubuntu tweaks
[19:53] <hwilde> any python coders?  can anyone explain the subtle difference between ubuntu and fedora here:   http://fpaste.org/iEvn/
[19:53] <meskarune> skltlf: can you right click on the menu and preferences?
[19:53] <skltlf> meskarune: im unfamiliar with KDE
[19:54] <skltlf> meskarune: yes, and I get into settings as well
[19:54] <meskarune> skltlf: are there options for the taskbar in settings?
[19:54] <sevith> Hrm
[19:55] <skltlf> meskarune: yes, but they are not specific to what I'm trying to accomplish
[19:55] <sevith> Epic.
[19:56] <sevith> Update to m issue: Just added text to command line like you sadi trism and updated grub and it worked perfect :) Thank you.
[19:56] <sevith> in /etc/default/grub
[19:56] <skltlf> meskarune: I found the feature to show them on individual desktops only, which is nice, but I dont want kopete to be in the taskbar, i'd prefer it is only in quicklaunch
[19:56] <jimi_> When I ping places my times are OK, but the response is really slow, like 1 ping every 10 seconds. Also route command without -n is really slow. What should I investigate?
[19:56] <trism> sevith: excellent
[19:57] <meskarune> skltlf: there should be an ignore pager option somewhere. you might check kopete's settings
[19:57] <Degot> Hi, Is there a way to automatically copy files to just attached USB Stick/HDD? (CLI)
[19:57] <Slor> jimi_ - nameserver config
[19:57] <Seryth> Degot: Look at the mv command (man mv)
[19:57] <Seryth> oops
[19:57] <sevith> trism, Can I also add in kernel parameters for no ipv6?
[19:57] <meskarune> degot: you can do that with a script I suppose
[19:58] <Seryth> Degot: Ignore that ^
[19:58] <Slor> when route without -n is slow, it often means it can't get to your nameservers
[19:58] <Seryth> Degot: Look at the cp command, with man cp.
[19:58] <sevith> Or does this require a recompile :(
[19:58] <Degot> Seryth: Issue is how to find destination folder for cp
[19:58] <jimi_> Slor, Thanks, that sped up the ping by hostname. What about the route without -n /
[19:58] <trism> sevith: I do not know, sorry
[19:59] <Slor> jim_ - that didn't speed up too?
[19:59] <Slor> jimi_ - that didn't speed up too?
[19:59] <jimi_> Slor, No, it takes FOREVER to list.
[19:59] <Degot> idea is : Ubunto server (without monitor , keyboard, etc)  prepares reports... I'm inserting USB and system automatically runs script , that makes cp to USB
[20:00] <guigui_> hi
[20:00] <Seryth> Degot: Say you want to move the folder (and it's contents) from /home/user/folder1 to the directory /mnt/external/usb/drive. You would do "cp /home/user/folder1/ /mnt/external/usb/drive. Also, look up about the -a flag.
[20:00] <Slor> jimi_ - ok - does your default route look correct in that listing?
[20:00] <Chipzzz> Degot: just off the top of my head maybe you could put an 'init' script on the thumb drive (like the ones they put on some CDs)
[20:00] <skltlf> meskarune: found "skip pager" but it did not pull it from the taskbar
[20:01] <Degot> Chipzzz: No, USB will be formated before insert.
[20:01] <guigui_> i have a question ...
[20:01] <llutz> sevith: why don't you just blacklist ipv6?
[20:01] <Seryth> Degot: If you wanted to move /home/user/folder1 to a folder taht didn't exist yet, you would do "mkdir /mnt/external/usb/drive/target/" and then run the above command, moving it to target.
[20:01] <jimi_> Slor, it looks OK.
[20:01] <whoever> OerHeks: thx , now how do make it so the app will com up when i search dash home, as it is now it does not come up when i tye
[20:01] <Chipzzz> Degot: a particular usb, or just whenever one is plugged into a particular usb slot?
[20:02] <cfhowlett> guigui_: ask away...
[20:02] <Slor> do you have any names in your routing besides default and link-local;
[20:02] <whoever> *type
[20:02] <Slor> jimi_ do you have any names in your routing besides default and link-local?
[20:02] <Degot> Chipzzz: any USB storage could be plugged in... there is only one free usb port
[20:02] <sevith> llutz, Nice. I was just about to do that :P lol... :)
[20:02] <OerHeks> whoever, what app?
[20:03] <llutz> sevith: not sure if this works with ubuntu: add "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1" to /etc/sysctl.d/no-ipv6.conf
[20:03] <guigui_> i want to create a script who download packages and their dependances for another ubuntu release like 10.04 (i am actually on 11.10)
[20:03] <OerHeks> !offline | guigui_
[20:03] <llutz> sevith: then run: sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/no-ipv6.conf
[20:03] <OerHeks> oh obuttu is offline ..
[20:03] <sevith> llutz, Ill try blacklisting ipv6 and see what happens
[20:03] <jimi_> Slor, here is my route: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842129/
[20:04] <whoever> OerHeks:vuescan
[20:04] <Chipzzz> Degot: it shouldn't be very hard to write a daemon to do that, either as a shell script or in perl, python, or similar
[20:04] <_Marcus> OerHerks: ukbot is here though
[20:04] <guigui_> OerHeks, ?
[20:04] <whoever> OerHeks: so its not nativly avilable
[20:04] <prashant_123456> how to lock system volume at certain level in ubuntu 11.10 using gnome classic ????
[20:04] <sevith> llutz, does sysctl -p reload the file ??
[20:04] <Degot> Chipzzz: yes, but how to find this newly attached usb ?
[20:04] <llutz> sevith: yes
[20:04] <_Marcus> Okay, I need to know, who here has successfully installed and started up the Ubuntu minimal iso?
[20:05] <Slor> jimi_ - when you do it without -n, which line does it seem to lock up prior to?  and what name eventually shows up?
[20:05] <__Alex_> _Marcus: Me
[20:05] <whoever> OerHeks: isn't there a menu editing app for ubuntu
[20:05] <Slor> Trying a repeat: I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 (yeah, still) with both eth0 and wlan0 network connections.  I would like to force outgoing traffic to use the wlan0 interface, which I know I can do if I manually update the routing table and manually update my resolv.conf so I can find the right nameservers.  What I would like to know is whether or not I can configure something to force NetworkManager
[20:05] <Slor> to prefer the wlan0 interface over eth0 so that I don't have to do these manual steps.  Basically, I only need to get in (like from a VNC client) on the wired connection and anything I do within the box needs to be trying to go out on the wireless.
[20:05] <sevith> llutz, Blacklisting ipv6 didnt work ill try the other way
[20:05] <Myrtti> !ping
[20:05] <guigui_> noone knows how to do that ?
[20:05] <jimi_> Slor, it locks up immediately
[20:05] <_Marcus> Out of the may times I've tried, I cannot get the damn thing to start up after I installed it. Most of the time I can't even install it. But it's installed now and wont start up, this happens every damn time. How do I fix it?
[20:06] <skltlf> Meskarune: Found a workaround: with desktop effects enabled, one can right click on the maximized window up at the top bar and then choose "configure window behavior" then choose "window rules". There is a setting to force an item to only appear on one desktop as well as an option to force the window to only show up on that desktops' taskbar.
[20:06] <Chipzzz> Degot: you can find it on the USB bus (lsusb), or you can look at its mount point (/media/USBLabal)
[20:06] <OerHeks> whoever, is it a windows-tool ?
[20:06] <OerHeks> can't find any vuescan for linux
[20:06] <__Alex_> _Marcus: Strange, had no problems here. Seems that GUI-oriented OSs have a lot of problems with the bare basics
[20:06] <sevith> llutz, /etc/sysctl.d/no-ipv6.conf doesnt exist
[20:07] <llutz> sevith: create it
[20:07] <guigui_> i want to create a script who download packages and their dependances for another ubuntu release like 10.04 (i am actually on 11.10)
[20:07] <canis_> I was trying to install some .debs, and I canceled in the middle not knowing what would happen.  How Do I remove a program that won't uninstall on it's own.
[20:08] <Slor> Hmm - not real sure jimi_ - unless it's trying to do a reverse lookup for the name of your router and failing.  I'm afraid I'm at my limit on that one.
[20:08] <canis_> I  keep getting error messages.
[20:08] <skltlf> To anyone trying to install ubuntu and not getting to a desktop screen, or the screen flashes then there is no desktop, i found this issue to be due to the system not recognizing the need for a proprietary driver during install. I installed it via flash drive in a command prompt boot to fix this
[20:08] <jimi_> Slor, N/p thanks for the help :)
[20:08] <cfhowlett> canis_: dpkg -r packagename.deb
[20:08] <skltlf> I found this issue only with geforce graphics cards
[20:08] <Slor> dns can be a real thorn if not set up right.
[20:08] <canis_> ok...I tried many various prepublished ways...It will not do it.
[20:09] <canis_> Package: composite-2012
[20:09] <canis_> Status: install ok half-configured
[20:09] <Jinxed-> How would I have my script.sh start at reboot via screen with crontab... I thought it was something as simple as in the /etc/crontab file add the line: @reboot screen -dmUS foo /path/to/foo.sh
[20:09] <Jinxed-> but that doesn't seem to be working
[20:09] <whoever> OerHeks: cross platfom , its a pay app
[20:09] <guigui_> someone have already used the option -t for apt-get ?
[20:09] <canis_> is what is in my dpkg file.  i changed the status, tried to fix packages etc.
[20:10] <OerHeks> guigui_, maybe this is your answer >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline
[20:10] <_Marcus> Can anyone help? This is what my screen has been doing: http://i.imgur.com/i39jy.png I fear it will continue to do this.
[20:10] <Chipzzz> skltlf: you can also boot into grub (hold down shift key after POST), enter recover mode and install it that way
[20:10] <guigui_> OerHeks, Thanks i will check that
[20:10] <wamicho> hey am using linux and in my office they have windows DNS server and my box keep on timing out after every 5 minutes when browsing what is the problem here ?
[20:10] <henrys_> any nvidia driver experts?  I can use this http://analogbit.com/fix_nvidia_edid recipe to get descent screen rendering but lose hdmi sound when it is applied.  Without the change the rendering is really unacceptable on a 37" HDTV
[20:10] <sevith> llutz, Disabling is that way worked. But i see ssh still is using something for ipv6?...Ill edit ssh
[20:10] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: this is 11.10???
[20:11] <skltlf> Chipzzz: this requires the machine to be on the internet, correct?
[20:11] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: Yes, but I installed it from the minimal iso
[20:11] <canis_> cfhowlett: I'm running mint 12.  I'd ask them but they seem top be too busy getting recipes.
[20:11] <cfhowlett> canis_: lol!
[20:12] <llutz> sevith: "AddressFamily inet"
[20:12] <wamicho> hey am using linux and in my office they have windows DNS server and my box keep on timing out after every 5 minutes when browsing what is the problem here ?
[20:12] <guigui_> OerHeks, no it's not that i want
[20:12] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: basic question - forgive if I missed it.  You did checksum .iso, right?
[20:12] <Chipzzz> henrys_: it sounds like something you can fix in xorg.conf
[20:12] <sevith> llutz, HAha your the master .. lol :P
[20:12] <guigui_> i just want to use the option -t of apt-get
[20:12] <oCean> canis_: this channel does not provide mint support
[20:12] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: How do I do that?
[20:12] <skltlf> wamicho: port forwarding enabled?
[20:12] <cfhowlett> !md5sum>_Marcus
[20:13] <wamicho> sktlf: where do you enable that ?
[20:13] <OerHeks> whoever, you can make a custom launcher, if you know the place it is installed >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/13758/how-can-i-edit-create-new-launcher-items-in-unity-by-hand
[20:13] <_Marcus> I think the bot's broken
[20:13] <Pici> _Marcus: it is.
[20:13] <_Marcus> !md5sum > M_Marcus
[20:13] <wamicho> skltlf: where do you enable that ?
[20:13] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: right.  wait 1
[20:13] <_Marcus> Well, how do I checksum?
[20:13] <h00k> _Marcus: our bot is taking a break. From a terminal, you can: md5sum filenamegoeshere
[20:13] <skltlf> wamicho: through the router itself... it sounds like the connection to the DNS server is not direct, am I correct in saying this?
[20:14] <cfhowlett> _Marcus see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto
[20:14] <_Marcus> h00k: That works on Windows?
[20:14] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[20:14] <wamicho> skltlf: yes through the wireless router
[20:14] <sevith> llutz, Nice. ipv6 all gone :P
[20:14] <skltlf> wamicho: you can enable it via the router
[20:14] <canis_> oCean: It isn't really mint support  It's dpkg support
[20:14] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: see themd5sum on Windows section
[20:14] <skltlf> wamicho: typically, it is <IP_ADDRESS> in the browser address bar to access it
[20:15] <h00k> _Marcus: try http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/
[20:15] <Chipzzz> skltlf: probably so
[20:15] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: I have Cygwin anyway
[20:15] <henrys_> Chipzzz:His custom edid disables the audio, seems like the edid file needs fixing or the nvidia drivers have to be fixed.
[20:15] <cfhowlett> canis_: sorry, I can't see the fix for you.  Ask the channel again in a few minutes
[20:15] <oCean> canis_: still offtopic for this channel
[20:16] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842148/ is what happened
[20:16] <Chipzzz> henrys_: there may be a config option for the driver either in xorg.conf or on the boot command line to correct the problem
[20:17] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: ok.  now check that against the checksum list where you downloaded the iso and very match for your version.
[20:18] <wamicho> skltf : why do the windows people browse with no problem do they not need this port forwarding ?
[20:18] <OerHeks> _Marcus, 32-bit PC (x86). Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot"  ???
[20:18] <_Marcus> 6192789c4fad45816c07d4256cfaa24e.
[20:18] <_Marcus> It's the same
[20:18] <_Marcus> OerHeks: Yes
[20:18] <sevith> lol...
[20:19] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: means you got a good download...
[20:19] <skltlf> wamicho: your system may have some security protocols the windows systems do not recognize, and may see it as an attack. if thats the case, you can either use a proxy, or you can edit the settings in the router
[20:19] <bobweaver> !panelreset
[20:19] <OerHeks> well well pretty nifty oke then :-)
[20:19] <_Marcus> bobweaver: it's broken
[20:19] <bobweaver> thanks _Marcus
[20:19] <bobweaver> dang
[20:19] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: So it's good that it's a good download right?
[20:19] <bobweaver> _Marcus: you know the command to reset gnome pannels ?
[20:19] <_Marcus> bobweaver: Nope.   Did you burn a CD or USB for this.
[20:20] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: I installed it through the iso with Virtual Box
[20:21] <LjL> !test
[20:21] <canis_> okay
[20:21] <_Marcus> LjL: it's weird, I messaged ukbot "ping" and it said "pong"
[20:22] <LjL> _Marcus: it replies for me, but not with the factoid, just with an error... *shrug*
[20:22] <saquib_> j
[20:22] <skltlf> _Marcus: did you hit the ball back or did ukbot win?
[20:22] <llutz> LjL: on /msg ikbot info xxxx :      <ukbot> Error: "info" is not a valid command.
[20:22] <_Marcus> skltlf: What?
[20:22] <llutz> ukbot*
[20:22] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: as this is virtualbox, strange things can happen specific to the VBox settings.
[20:23] <LjL> LubuntuPowered: yes same here, it should give that but also give the factoid.
[20:23] <skltlf> ping-pong... meh... video game referance
[20:23] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: Yeah, when the OS was set to Ubuntu in it's settings, it didn't install.
[20:23] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: It's at Unknown now
[20:24] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: WHAT is unknown
[20:24] <abu-aisha> my sister in law brought the flu home from school, AGAIN, i am so sick of the school letting these little pukes go to school SICK
[20:25] <OerHeks> _Marcus, ubottu said:	To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel »
[20:25] <trever420> u mean parents letting them go to school sick?
[20:25] <skltlf> abu-aisha: solution: quit school

[20:26] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: versoin should say ubuntu, OS should say linux...
[20:26] <zelozelos> when i installed the driver for my nvidia geforce gt 540m blender stops working, the error is that  xlib: extension "glx" missing on display 0, intern/ghost/intern/GHOST_windowx11cpp:193 glxqueryversion failed, verify working open gl system initial window could not find the GLX extension, exit
[20:26] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: Oh. Well it doesn't install when set to that.
[20:26] <zelozelos> anybody know what to do?
[20:26] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: wait 1 I'll verify
[20:27] <skltlf> zelozelos: you installed a windows driver for it?
[20:27] <zelozelos> skltlf: yes
[20:27] <skltlf> zelozelos: its looking for directx
[20:27] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: Linux is the version, ubuntu is the OS.  Redo your settings or create another Virtual HD and re-install
[20:27] <zelozelos> skltlf it was the one offered by the driver app
[20:28] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: I did that the last 5 times.
[20:28] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: When set to Linux and Ubuntu, it won't even install correctly, it will just hang at the installation
[20:28] <skltlf> zelozelos: im not sure if there is a directx clone for linux, but thats what it is looking for
[20:28] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: When set to what it is currently, it will install, but not run
[20:29] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: your iso is good.  I'm convinced it's a settings issue.  Suggest you /join #vbox or see https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Community
[20:30] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: I set it to Linux and Ubuntu now, it's hanging still
[20:30] <OerHeks> _Marcus, after install, did you disable the iso in the manager ????
[20:30] <skltlf> zelozelous: if im not mistaken, that error has to do with a shading component..
[20:30] <_Marcus> OerHeks: Yes, or it would of booted to the iso and asked to install
[20:30] <OerHeks> true
[20:30] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: and you set to boot from teh HDD yes?
[20:31] <wamicho> skltf: ok let me check that..
[20:31] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: Boot order is floppy, disk drive, hard disk
[20:31] <JuJuBee> I put a new HD in my computer and want to unmount /home and remount it using the new HD.  I have the UUID ready in fstab, but when I try to umount /home I see it is busy.  How do I unmount /home?
[20:32] <_Marcus> The thing is, it's not even going to GRUB.
[20:32] <skltlf> JuJuBee: did you partition the drive yourself, or auto-partition?
[20:32] <JuJuBee> myself
[20:32] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: don't think mini includes grub.
[20:32] <JuJuBee> I already copied the data to it also
[20:32] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: Oh
[20:32] <skltlf> jujubee: did you make only a home partition and let it allocate itself?
[20:32] <JuJuBee> skltlf:  already did this with /backup
[20:32] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: one more try; disable floppy & disk.  boot from the hdd.
[20:33] <JuJuBee> skltlf: I manually partitioned new drive myself and wish to mount it now on /home.  It is a single partition.
[20:33] <JuJuBee> skltlf: or do you mean the old /home?
[20:34] <skltlf> jujubee: all the root files are there, it is not possible to unmount from GUI if you let "/" allocate itself
[20:34] <maestro> Hey all, I want to reinstall my ubuntu 11.10. Is it safe to do that. I mean will the repos. that i installed will be saved or removed?
[20:34] <skltlf> jujubee: use the install CD to do it, it will work from there
[20:34] <hexmaster> Need to turn off the annoying login sound when Ubuntu starts. How do I do that.
[20:34] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: i saw GRUB this time!
[20:34] <JuJuBee> skltlf: I created /home as a separate mount point originally
[20:34] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: I need to do something, I'll see the rest later, thank you though!
[20:35] <JuJuBee> skltlf: I wanted to do the swap without rebooting the computer.
[20:35] <cfhowlett> _Marcus > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7001421/Pictures/Success.jpg
[20:35] <JuJuBee> skltlf: I just did the same thing with /backup
[20:35] <skltlf> jujubee: yikes... thats beyond me, but I know it is not possible to unmount home if it is root
[20:35] <Ebron> So I went through this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tor, and changed my proxy settings, for some reason hit "apply system wide" and then all my browsers started using tor. Now I can't seem to find the correct config-file so that i can make sure that torrents and the likes does not use onion routing.. any idea where I can find the correct configuration-files to put excludes on apps so that they don't use socks`?
[20:36] <JuJuBee> skltlf: /home is separate from /  (separate mount points)
[20:36] <skltlf> jujubee: i suppose if you have an extra SATA cord/connection it would work, but like I said, i'm not sure, I've never done that
[20:36] <Jarpse> Hmm, anyone running ubuntu on a (nvidia) macbook here?
[20:37] <krasnozer> so i'm trying to prevent cups and apache from being started at startup, I've removed the symlinks with update-rc -f remove, but the services are still activated, what am i missing?
[20:37] <JuJuBee> Anyone else?  Can I umount /home (separate partition) while booted into os and change the UUID to mount a new HD I just set up?
[20:37] <liberal> Jarpse: i can't imagine why anyone would want to.
[20:37] <liberal> no doubt you'll find someone that did it though ;)
[20:38] <llutz> JuJuBee: you can, but you should login into console, not X
[20:38] <Jarpse> liberal: thanks for being so open-minded ;)
[20:38] <JuJuBee> llutz: ctrl-alt-f1 ?
[20:38] <llutz> JuJuBee: yes
[20:38] <JuJuBee> I did and was told /home was busy/
[20:38] <LacLacoix> this #ubuntu ?
[20:38] <maestro> can anyone please tell me if it is safe to reinstall ubuntu 11.10 to the same partition, and will everything that i installed still remain?
[20:38] <skltlf> yes
[20:38] <LacLacoix> thnx
[20:38] <liberal> Jarpse: it's not about being closed minded, but why pay the apple tax if you just want to run ubunut?
[20:38] <skltlf> maestro: no, a reinstall will format
[20:38] <liberal> +u
[20:39] <llutz> JuJuBee: login, "cd /tmp", then "sudo -i"  make sure you aren't logged in X in the background
[20:39] <LacLacoix> where can i get precise support, 12.04?
[20:39] <liberal> otherwise just use parallels or vmware fusion and run a vm on top of your osx install
[20:39] <JuJuBee> llutz: can I do this via ssh?
[20:39] <skltlf> maestro: try recovery instead
[20:39] <llutz> sure
[20:39] <cfhowlett> maestro: yes you can re-install to the same part.  The previous installation will be wiped.
[20:39] <hexmaster> PLONK need to turn off the annoying Ubuntu login sound. Use Ubuntu as a sandbox in Xen-Debian for testing. The DahhDahh is driving me nuts.
[20:39] <LacLacoix> !pastw
[20:40] <LacLacoix> !paste
[20:40] <cfhowlett> hexmaster: sound settings and preferences
[20:40] <liberal> Jarpse: does that clarify my comment a little?
[20:40] <maestro> chhowlett, is there any way by which i can save the installed repos
[20:40] <llutz> LacLacoix: #ubuntu+1
[20:40] <hexmaster> cfhowlett thx Ill take a look
[20:40] <JuJuBee> llutz:  get message /home: device is bussy.
[20:40] <cfhowlett> maestro: clarify.. you mean your software source settings?
[20:40] <LacLacoix> tanks >:)
[20:40] <llutz> JuJuBee: "cd /somewhere not inside your home"
[20:40] <JuJuBee> I did
[20:40] <JuJuBee> slash tmp
[20:41] <maestro> cfhowlett, i mean all of the softwares that i installed on ubuntu
[20:41] <llutz> JuJuBee: odd, it worked this way for me some time ago. sry no idea then
[20:41] <skltlf> maestro: you are looking to recover, not reinstall.
[20:41] <JuJuBee> How do I find out what process might be using /home?  like quota or journaling or something like that?
[20:41] <maestro> skltlf, How do i recover
[20:41] <Xeli> Hey, what's a good way to install kernel 3.0 on 11.04?
[20:42] <schnuffle> JuJuBee: lsof
[20:42] <llutz> JuJuBee: sudo lsof|grep yourhome
[20:42] <BlouBlou> Xeli: You can do it, but you won't get Canonical's updates
[20:42] <xangua> Xeli: one is upgrade to 11.10
[20:42] <skltlf> maestro: use the ubuntu install cd, choose recovery instead, be sure to have another computer available to guide you through it via google searching or on this channel
[20:43] <JuJuBee> llutz: strange lsof | grep /home returned nothing
[20:43] <Xeli> xangua, BlouBlou: I see, I kinda want to keep gnome though..
[20:43] <maestro> skltlf, will a live usb do it? or do i need a cd insted?
[20:43] <cryptodira> i have 2 issues since a re-install of 10.10 after a failed 11.04 auto-upgrade on an amd/64 system: the fan is on high all the time... and some of the xscreensaver modules no longer work.. they show "no preview available" and will segfault if invoked anyway.... solutions or pointers.... anyone??
[20:43] <JuJuBee> llutz: neither did /home/myUser
[20:43] <xangua> Xeli: 11.10 uses gnome 3.2
[20:43] <skltlf> maestro: i suppose you can use a flash disk, but a CD is less prone to have errors form my experience
[20:44] <BlouBlou> Xeli: Well, you may want to try another distro then, gnome2 is dead (distro or desktop enviroment)
[20:44] <Xeli> but but ;(
[20:44] <BlouBlou> heh :P
[20:44] <skltlf> if you like gnome2: use gnome3 and choose "gnome classic"
[20:45] <maestro> skltlf, ok thanks man... will do that definitely
[20:45] <BlouBlou> skltlf: I never saw that option in 11.10, it just has Unity or Unity 2D
[20:45] <sam555> hello all
[20:45] <skltlf> you can install it via command gnome-session-fallback
[20:45] <sam555> what is the command to find out how much disk space is being used by a drive?
[20:45] <whoever> OerHeks: thx
[20:46] <llutz> sam555: df -h
[20:46] <webspyder> df
[20:46] <OerHeks> whoever, have fun
[20:46] <sam555> webspyder, thanks!
[20:46] <skltlf> package i mean, not command
[20:46] <webspyder> yep
[20:46] <Firebolt> I get "ASSERT: "interface->childCount() == children.count()" in file adaptor.cpp, line 200" when I try to run some Qt-based programs, any fix that isn't running them as root?
[20:46] <whoever> what is the command to update dash when programs arn't in path
[20:46] <Xeli> skltlf: so if I update to 11.10, and install gnome-session-fallback, I can choose gnome3/gnome-classic at the login screen?
[20:46] <godril> t
[20:46] <nate_h> is there a way to remove a deb without removing the files?
[20:46] <nate_h> like just remove from the database
[20:47] <skltlf> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/classicgnome
[20:47] <webspyder> apt-get clean
[20:47] <skltlf> xeli, that link explains the process
[20:47] <Xeli> skltlf: cool, thank you
[20:47] <skltlf> np
[20:48] <skltlf> alternatively, if its because you like using compiz, use LXDE.. runs compiz much better IMO
[20:48] <TuxSY> Hy
[20:48] <LacLacoix> http://paste.ubuntu.com/842179/
[20:48] <whoever> nevermide i got it with alacarte
[20:48] <Firebolt> or do I need to run every qt-based program I have installed as root?
[20:49] <Xeli> it isn't really, but I just had some annying bugs with unity WRT 2 monitors, and I didn't like gnome3
[20:49] <Demonstrate> skltlf: tha't not true, if you have low system specs ofcourse it would run better..
[20:49] <llutz> LacLacoix: lsb_release -sc
[20:49] <LacLacoix> anyone know hot to remove btrfs-snapshot
[20:49] <LacLacoix> sudo lsb_release -sc ?
[20:49] <Jarpse> liberal: hmm, it's been a while ago :)
[20:50] <Jarpse> liberal: year+, paid the apple tax now, I guess
[20:50] <skltlf> demonstrate: i ran into less errors when using it with LXDE/Indirect rendering, 4gb ram/dual core machine
[20:50] <Demonstrate> I've got 8 cores 64gb ram and a 250GTX.
[20:50] <skltlf> but i digress, it did still have errors, i switched to KDE since then, no problems since
[20:50] <Demonstrate> I consider dual cores very low specs.
[20:50] <skltlf> demonstrate: makes sense then =)
[20:51] <Demonstrate> everything runs awesome, it just has to be able to run it. except gnome.. i lag even with gnome..
[20:51] <skltlf> xeli: 11.10 is better imo, its a good switch as long as you find a good environment to move into since the fall of gnome
[20:51] <LacLacoix> Errors were encountered while processing:  /var/cache/apt/archives/unity-singlet_0.2.1_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[20:52] <_Marcus> chowlett: NO! It shows the Ubuntu screen(the loading one) for a second then goes to that never ending blinking!
[20:52] <Demonstrate> Does anyone know if you can stop  Empathy IRC from rezising when you type a long text??
[20:52] <llutz> LacLacoix: what is the output of "lsb_release -sc"
[20:52] <Timmy_> i need a similar application to autocad, what can i use?
[20:52] <skltlf> demonstrate: i found it tough to use a machine without wobbly windows, its the little aesthetics that make working at the PC much easier i think.
[20:52] <Demonstrate> I know I'm using gnome any compiz with all the eye candy.
[20:52] <LacLacoix> llutz: i am on precise
[20:53] <llutz> LacLacoix:so ask in #ubuntu+1
[20:53] <Demonstrate> made it look like mac, cuz mac appeals to my eyes
[20:53] <skltlf> demonstrate: i stuck with the classic windows bar, no dock, but I do agree it is a great interface.
[20:54] <cryptodira> extra desktop effects could not be enabled... what is missing?  10.10 amd/64
[20:55] <Demonstrate> skltlf: Do you have any recommendations for "must-use" eye candy? I use avant over Docky.
[20:55] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: drivers?
[20:55] <cryptodira> Demonstrate, for certain... but which ones?
[20:55] <Demonstrate> your graphics cards dude
[20:55] <skltlf> demonstrate: I use wobbly windows, switcher (cover flow) and opacity + dim
[20:55] <Demonstrate> skltlf: I use the same thing :O
[20:56] <cfhowlett> cryptodira: graphics card driver ...
[20:56] <skltlf> demonstrate: we are the future man
[20:56] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: check the "additional drivers" on system ->
[20:56] <Demonstrate> skltlf: lmao :D
[20:56] <tapas> since the last update flash has stopped working :(
[20:57] <Demonstrate> tapas: try re-installing adobe flash from ubuntu software center
[20:57] <tapas> Demonstrate: i guess sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound would dothe same?
[20:57] <Demonstrate> tapas: yeah it should.
[20:59] <tapas> Demonstrate: actually the way through the software center worked.. thanks
[20:59] <tapas> yay for redtube :D
[20:59] <tapas> laters ;D
[21:00] <cryptodira> Demonstrate,  aticonfig --initial=check , returns fglrx is found... what else could be missing?
[21:01] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: umm try installing other drivers not in the repo's?
[21:01] <Demonstrate> i had to use the latest beta drivers to get everything working.
[21:01] <Scunizi> This latest update with a new kernel seems to have removed my ability to shutdown or reboot via the menu.  What's the cli command? sudo reboot now ??
[21:02] <Demonstrate> Scunizi: add the power off button on to your panels?
[21:02] <seanbright> to reboot: sudo reboot / to shutdown: sudo poweroff
[21:02] <cryptodira> Demonstrate,  yes, i installed the ati radeon proprietary drivers... to no avail... ati catalyst control center reports: that it does not see the card.
[21:02] <Scunizi> Demonstrate: I'm using the kde desktop.. power off button or shutdown/reboot is not working.
[21:02] <Scunizi> seanbright: thanks
[21:02] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: there you go your drivers aren't installed ;O
[21:03] <Demonstrate> cryptodira:  if you where on nvidia I'd help you, I suck with UBUNTU + ATI :$
[21:04] <cryptodira> Demonstrate,  so it would appear... however the card is working... otherwise i could not be here.... Thank You for your help!
[21:04] <YannB> Hi is this is a help where I can get help with my ubuntu or is there a separate channel?
[21:04] <YannB> a place where I can get help* sorry
[21:04] <DJones> !ask | YannB
[21:05] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: no cards still print up displays even with missing drivers.
[21:05] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: what ATI card do you have & what repo are you using?
[21:05] <YannB> Well, I came today to find my computer starting up with beeps to indicate a video problem, this was solved after dust removal, but then my Ubuntu wouldn't boot anymore, and I can't get it to work anymore. I'm now using the Try Ubuntu feature to be able to get online
[21:05] <cryptodira> Demonstrate, that, i did not know..i figured they either work or not work.
[21:06] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: nah they work except for "extended" capabilites such as openGL and gaming etc, the drivers must be installed.
[21:07] <Demonstrate> YannB: Maybe HDD failing?  I dont really make sense of "reboot, and pc not working anymore" did you do something before restarting it lst?
[21:07] <Demonstrate> last*
[21:07] <YannB> yeah, nothing special had been done, and when I came home, Ubuntu won't boot
[21:08] <YannB> The Pc starts up, shows bios info and all, but won't start the OS
[21:08] <Demonstrate> YannB: Have you tried the" rescue" option??
[21:08] <YannB> where can I find that?
[21:08] <cfhowlett> YannB: dual boot?  try other OS
[21:08] <Demonstrate> YannB:  On the LIVECD
[21:08] <Demonstrate> YannB:  if memory serves me right it's the last option "install try etc"
[21:08] <YannB> It's not a dual boot, and is this live Cd another CD than the ubuntu-installCD?
[21:08] <Demonstrate> YannB:  No it's not.
[21:09] <kraz3d> YannB: They're one in the same.
[21:09] <Demonstrate> YannB:  When you boot from CD, choose the last option not "try system" but Rescue.
[21:09] <YannB> When I use this CD, I only get 2 options, Try and Install, I haven't seen anything to repair or rescue unfortunately
[21:09] <Demonstrate> cfhowlett: He doesnt dual boot.
[21:10] <YannB> It might be HDD failing as you mentioned before because in the Try mode, I cannot mount 160 GB filesystem
[21:10] <Demonstrate> YannB:  well there you go..
[21:10] <cfhowlett> Demonstrate: right...
[21:10] <Demonstrate> YannB: try reinstalling it, and if you can reinstall it, it may not be an HDD problem but something else.
[21:10] <Demonstrate> YannB: But I suspect the HDD as the culprit.
[21:10] <mbrumlow> anybody here use ubuntu on ec2
[21:11] <Demonstrate> YannB: The LiveCD loads everything into ram so it doesnt even interact with the HDD until it's mounted.
[21:11] <YannB> I'm assuming that there's no way of retrieving files then? I had my Backup but for some dark reason I deleted it earlier today
[21:11] <cfhowlett> YannB: you boot the livecd, access the hDD (hopefully) and copy them to another medium OFF the hdd
[21:11] <Demonstrate> YannB:  there may be.. if you can get the livecd to mount the HDD then yes, if you can't I dont know of anyway to force a mount
[21:12] <Demonstrate> cfhowlett:  He is on livecd, he cant mount his hdd
[21:12] <YannB> Indeed, I have 2 mounted filesystems now and 1 that I cannot mount
[21:12] <cfhowlett> Demonstrate: sorry,dual channels and missed that essential point
[21:13] <Demonstrate> YannB:  That's a bummer :(
[21:13] <Demonstrate> YannB:  I've had failing HDD's that I was able to mount, so if you can't mount it all all it may be completely dead.
[21:14] <fabiobik> how to disable ear my own microphone
[21:14] <Firebolt> anyone else have problems running qt-based programs in 11.10?
[21:15] <Demonstrate> fabiobik:  click the sound tray -> prefrences -> output.
[21:15] <webspyder> how do you setup vhost on here
[21:15] <hexmaster> Demonstrate test your drives if you have SMART ie smartctl -d ata -H /dev/sdb
[21:15] <Pici> webspyder: Ask in #freenode
[21:16] <hexmaster> Demonstrate to test if you have SMART smartctl -i /dev/sdb
[21:16] <hexmaster> if yes smartctl -s on -d ata /dev/sdb
[21:17] <webspyder> i did hostserv
[21:17] <webspyder> but no help there
[21:18] <Pici> webspyder: There is no hostserv here. You need to ask in #freenode
[21:18] <webspyder> lol ok got ya tyvm
[21:19] <mkquist> YannB: what's the bios show in regards to the drive?
[21:19] <YannB> have only take a quick glance at bios yet
[21:19] <YannB> I've just taken a screenshot of the error I'm gonna give
[21:20] <mkquist> YannB: and of course the obvious is to check the cabling
[21:20] <YannB> http://i.imgur.com/eM4dy.png
[21:20] <YannB> mkquist: Yes I was going to do that but last time I didn't see anything special
[21:21] <mkquist> YannB: yeah that does not look to friendly...  How old is the drive?
[21:21] <YannB> I honestly don't know but not ancient
[21:22] <mkquist> YannB: curious, does sudo blkid show anything re: the drive?
[21:22] <YannB> i'll try
[21:23] <cfhowlett> YannB: that looks very foreboding...
[21:23] <mkquist> YannB: or fdisk?
[21:24] <YannB> screenshot:
[21:24] <YannB> http://i.imgur.com/SRYcw.png
[21:25] <mkquist> YannB: well sudo fdisk -l might be better =p
[21:25] <YannB> ok :p
[21:25] <mkquist> YannB: assumed there, sry
[21:25] <_Marcus> So when I startup my ubuntu minimal installation, it just hangs there. With a blinking cursor. This is a picture from before but it's doing the same thing: http://i.imgur.com/i39jy.png Any ideas?
[21:25] <_Marcus> I am running a virtual machine though. Virtual Box to be exact
[21:26] <mustafaerhann> helloo all
[21:26] <chaos_zero> hi
[21:26] <YannB> http://i.imgur.com/jcueZ.png
[21:26] <mustafaerhann> whats up
[21:26] <chaos_zero> me?
[21:26] <mustafaerhann> alll of youuuu!
[21:26] <chaos_zero> uhh
[21:26] <chaos_zero> my bed..is up
[21:26] <_Marcus> Hi mustafaerhann
[21:27] <Woodie8Potatoes> hey guys, i'm trying to get a minimal ubuntu installation, but the minimal CD just doesn't work (10.04), what are my options?
[21:27] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: How is it not working? Mine hasn't been working(11.10)
[21:27] <mkjackson_mobile> Hey folks
[21:27] <_Marcus> Hi
[21:27] <chaos_zero> i have seen where people described how to set up a windows application in ubuntu with wine, but can you do it in ubuntu server?
[21:27] <mkjackson_mobile> when I set my ip settings via the ip command, the system seems to just reset them back to DHCP
[21:27] <Woodie8Potatoes> _Marcus: it just hangs at installation, i'm installing on a VM
[21:28] <mkjackson_mobile> is there some sort of monitor running that doesn't realize that it's me making these changes or something?
[21:28] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: Virtual Box?
[21:28] <Woodie8Potatoes> _Marcus: yep.
[21:28] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: NO WAY!
[21:28] <mkjackson_mobile> when I set a configuration I usually expect to have the system not undo them...
[21:28] <Woodie8Potatoes> _Marcus: why?
[21:28] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: I don't think it works for Virtual Box. I had the same problem with 11.10.
[21:28] <mkjackson_mobile> any ideas?
[21:28] <mkquist> YannB: so sdc is the one?
[21:28] <chaos_zero> mkjackson, reset then at startup?
[21:28] <Woodie8Potatoes> _Marcus: so, how do i install ubuntu on a virtual box machine?
[21:29] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: No idea :(
[21:29] <dlentz> mkjackson_mobile, running network-manager?
[21:29] <cfhowlett> chaos_zero: presumeably if the server is running wine, it'll function similarly to a desktop...
[21:29] <chaos_zero> i am no expert, but did you edit the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[21:29] <mkjackson_mobile> dlentz: I think that's it
[21:29] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: I'm gonna try playing with setting until it works
[21:29] <chaos_zero> thats what i do and it always stays
[21:29] <YannB> yes that's the one I can't mount
[21:29] <charnel> anybody could make the Optirun Graphics cards run in Ubuntu 11.10 I have a Sony Vaio VGN-Z520N. Worked on it too much and could not make the Bumblebee work too. Don't want to load kernel version 2.6 for Sony
[21:29] <YannB> on a quick note, how can I direct my post to someone like you do to me
[21:29] <Woodie8Potatoes> _Marcus: i've played an entire day already. what about vmware?
[21:29] <mkjackson_mobile> dlentz: should I just disable the network manager or stop it temporarily?
[21:29] <chaos_zero> cfhowlett, in ubuntu server their is no GUI though,
[21:30] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: Haven't tried it yet.
[21:30] <cfhowlett> chaos_zero:  no gui no wine
[21:30] <dlentz> you can't configure netwrok-manager itself?
[21:30] <Woodie8Potatoes> _Marcus: okay, i'm gonna try. thank you
[21:30] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: Me too. No problem.
[21:30] <chaos_zero> if you  have the configuration set, though, can win run it without you seeing it? its a server application for a game
[21:31] <dlentz> idk, i always remove n-m because i like doing network config through text files (and maybe ceni or wicd)
[21:31] <mkquist> YannB: are you dual booting?
[21:31] <YannB> No I only have Ubuntu 11.10
[21:31] <mkquist> YannB: curious then why the ntfs partition?  already had it?
[21:31] <cfhowlett> chaos_zero: wine providers the emulation layer required by the windows programs.  If wine can't run due to no gui, I don't see how you can run the windows app...but I'm perfectly willing to be proved wrong...
[21:32] <MikeVaughanG> Hello
[21:32] <YannB> I guess so, I had Win7 before Ubuntu but I don't know why it's there
[21:32] <cfhowlett> MikeVaughanG: greetings
[21:32] <mkjackson_mobile> dlentz: I'm trying to learn to use the "ip" command to do most of my heavy lifting but when I change stuff it just gets overwritten in a few moments
[21:32] <mkjackson_mobile> dlentz: I'm thinking that it has to be teh network manager service
[21:32] <MikeVaughanG> Im new to IRC, so Im really just exploring.
[21:32] <chaos_zero> how *bad* would it be to have x in ubuntu server? is their a kind of limited x i could get just for this purpose?
[21:32] <mkquist> YannB: that's why, and the disk mounted before correct? in Ubuntu?
[21:32] <theadmin> _Marcus, Woodie8Potatoes: Um, pardon me but Ubuntu works perfectly on Virtualbox... what's the problem exactly?
[21:33] <cfhowlett> MikeVaughanG: go to #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support discussion...
[21:33] <mkjackson_mobile> MikeVaughanG: welcome to your next best resource!
[21:33] <YannB> Yes I've never had any problems
[21:33] <cfhowlett> chaos_zero: I'm a desktop user only.  Perhaps ask @ #ubuntu-server?
[21:33] <Woodie8Potatoes> theadmin: uh. well. when it begin to download the packages it just hangs at a blue screen with a grey strip in the bottom
[21:33] <cfhowlett> chaos_zero: I'm a desktop user only.  Perhaps ask @ #ubuntu-server ?
[21:33] <chaos_zero> very well, thank you for your time
[21:34] <Woodie8Potatoes> theadmin: it's possible to "type" things in this grey stripe :)
[21:34] <cfhowlett> chaos_zero: good luck/have fun
[21:34] <mkquist> YannB: I'd check the connections and again, in bios what the machine is seeing for the drive on boot
[21:35] <YannB> what do you mean with the latter mkquist?
[21:35] <norex> my wireless card is not getting listed in lspci output ?
[21:36] <norex> i just formated from arch where things where working
[21:36] <norex> *compaq615 , card is b43
[21:36] <theadmin> Sorry, had to quit, lag was over 300 seconds which was unacceptable
[21:36] <mkjackson_mobile> anyone see what's wrong with this command: "service --status-all | grep network-manager" ? (yes, I know I should be using pastebin but it's just a syntax question
[21:37] <theadmin> mkjackson_mobile: Seems correct to me
[21:37] <mkjackson_mobile> theadmin: strangely enough, it returns all the lines as if I didn't grep at all
[21:38] <theadmin> mkjackson_mobile: Hm. Maybe "service --status-all" doesn't print to stdout? Try something like... this: service --status-all 2>&1 | grep network-manager
[21:38] <DrJoel86> hello
[21:38]  * TuxSY is away: Zurzeit abwesend - already working!
[21:38] <DrJoel86> zte warp digitazer repair??
[21:38] <theadmin> !away > TuxSY
[21:38] <YannB> mkquist what do you mean with "in bios what the machine is seeing for the drive on boot" how can I find it?
[21:38] <OerHeks> norex, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing_b43_drivers
[21:40]  * TuxSY is back.
[21:40] <TuxSY> I set that off. Standart at konversion, sorry.
[21:40] <grendal-prime> i need the cli command to show what updates are available
[21:40] <theadmin> TuxSY: Whoever sets auto-away as standard should be killed >.<
[21:40] <cfhowlett> grendal-prime: sudo apt-get update
[21:41] <grendal-prime> does that give a list of what needs to be updated?
[21:41] <grendal-prime> hehehe
[21:41] <theadmin> grendal-prime: That doesn't, "sudo apt-get upgrade" does though
[21:42] <barbaro> exit
[21:42] <sskalnik> potentially off topic, but are there any ubuntu certs that carry any weight?
[21:42] <theadmin> grendal-prime: If you want to avoid having to press "n" after the prompt (you want to just see, not actually upgrade, right?), do something like: yes n|sudo apt-get upgrade
[21:43] <grendal-prime> i got it..
[21:43] <sskalnik> I know of the LPICs (does anyone take them seriously?), but are there more specific debian/ubuntu certs too?
[21:43] <mkquist> YannB: when the machine boots, go into the bios and see what the machine shows, looks like it's there as hardware at least
[21:43] <grendal-prime> i forgot ...i usually use aptitude
[21:43] <grendal-prime> was a stupid question..
[21:43] <grendal-prime> its been that kinda day
[21:43] <h00k> sskalnik: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/training/course-descriptions
[21:44] <theadmin> grendal-prime: Why not keep using aptitude then :D
[21:45] <gsuess> any1 good with gdm configs here? I am trying the mount the home directory vie sshfs on login. Its all working at runlevel 6, but with gdm its failing. Are there any logfiles i can debug this with?
[21:45] <sskalnik> h00k:  Thanks. Wow, pricey.
[21:45] <norex> OerHeks, no
[21:45] <grendal-prime> long story, besided who are you to critisize my methods  You talk like your the admin or something
[21:45] <grendal-prime> hehehe
[21:45] <YannB> Ok I cannot find anything wrong in the wiring so I'll brb to check the BIOS
[21:46] <mustafaerhann> which antivirus for linux ?
[21:46] <OerHeks> norex, you need to reboot to activate
[21:46] <mustafaerhann> avg avast avira kaspersky ? etc.?
[21:46] <sskalnik> !antivirus
[21:46] <Simon1245> mustafaerhann, I don't think there's virus programs for linux lol although I'm new
[21:47] <norex> OerHeks, the card isnt showing up in lspci output and i tried rebooting for the hell of it 3 times*
[21:47] <mustafaerhann> :D lol so im looking if really try worth one i can  found
[21:47] <mustafaerhann> even i wantto use it for scanning win viruses in win parts. on my system.
[21:47] <OerHeks> norex, is it a laptop ?
[21:47] <norex> OerHeks, yea , it is turned on (wireless)
[21:47] <OerHeks> norex is there a short FN key to enable.wireless ?
[21:47] <sskalnik> Though if you are insanely paranoid, I personally recommend NOD32. I use it on my Windoze box, and it's so effective I can download malware for fun.
[21:48] <mustafaerhann> ahaha. really
[21:48] <norex> OerHeks, dedicated button
[21:48] <mustafaerhann> is there any linux nod32?
[21:48] <mustafaerhann> sskalnik, where can i download it?
[21:49] <OerHeks> mustafaerhann, there is a NOD32 live cd on their page
[21:49] <sskalnik> mustafaerhann:  Yes. Though if all you are doing is scanning a system for Win viruses - say, you have a samba server that is also used by Windows boxen though you host it on Ubuntu - you might look at the free ClamAV
[21:49] <h00k> !botsnack
[21:50] <sskalnik> Personally, my experience with Clam was rather awful, but hey, free
[21:50] <mustafaerhann> clam av is on demand scanner.
[21:50] <sskalnik> And it is better than nothing
[21:50] <mustafaerhann> but its on-demand
[21:52] <sam555> hello all
[21:52] <sskalnik> If you want to take absolutely no chances, I would recommend NOD32. But otherwise, you don't need an antivirus for Ubuntu. Try Clam if you want a little peace of mind when sharing a disk with Windows boxen, and if security is paramount... well don't use Windows boxen... ;) But if you have to, use NOD
[21:52] <sam555> how does one mount a cd from the shell?
[21:52] <_Marcus> Okay, I have more detail for my problem. I installed Ubuntu minimal on Virtual Box and it loads the Ubuntu operating system somewhat(GRUB is there then it goes to this next part).  I know the operating system is loaded because I can press Ctrl + alt + delete and it showed the text about it shutting down and restarts.
[21:52] <_Marcus> WHAT IS HAPPENING?
[21:52] <_Marcus> I've tried everything to get it working
[21:53] <_Marcus> Well, not everything
[21:53] <_Marcus> But everything I know
[21:53] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  have you tried alt-F1 and so on to get another terminal?
[21:53] <_Marcus> sskalnik: No. I didn't even know you could do that
[21:54] <sskalnik> https://ubuntufan.wordpress.com/2006/12/29/hot-keysget-your-hot-keys/
[21:54] <sam555> what is the command to search for a .iso in ubuntu shell?
[21:54] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Tried it, and it didn't work.
[21:54] <ledah> hello i'm getting random logouts and a segmetation 7 bus error, in ubuntu 11.10, what can i do?, acer aspire 4736z, intel gma video chip
[21:54] <joshualuise> ola
[21:54] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I can't even type into it though.
[21:54] <joshualuise> hablais español
[21:55] <sskalnik> sam555:  I would use find / -name *.iso 2>/dev/null but there is probably a smarter method.
[21:55] <_Marcus> !es | joshualuise
[21:56] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Have anything else that may work?
[21:56] <joshualuise> hello
[21:56] <Nu-Newbie> Question: I am the only user on my computer. Is it safer to leave OpenssH off, or does that make it worse?
[21:56] <LqX_^> hello all, please see this video. Thanks realy http://youtu.be/X73lwr7RTAg
[21:56] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: still working with the same .iso?  Just for fun try a different .iso and see.
[21:57] <OerHeks> LqX_^, please don't spam
[21:57] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: I've tried many. Someone gave me one from their dropbox on Sunday
[21:57] <h00k> LqX_^: do not spam in here.
[21:57] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  I would start at the most basic thing possible. First, make sure the original .iso is not corrupt. Then try another .iso to see if it does the same thing.
[21:57] <sam555> sskalnik, found it http://www.wallpaperama.com/forums/how-to-mount-cd-rom-linux-shell-command-t307.html
[21:57] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I got it off the website
[21:57] <mkjackson_mobile> hey, so I've mounted a cifs using sudo and it connected but now my user account doesn't have permission to access... how can I add my user name access?
[21:57] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Should I try booting to the iso?
[21:57] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  it could potentially be corrupted. Uncommon but possible.
[21:58] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  I'm not sure I understand. Booting as in live CD?
[21:58] <OerHeks> Nu-Newbie, if you won't need it, leave it off, no service, no risc.
[21:58] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Someone came in here with the same problem, different iso(older version, it was 10.04)
[21:58] <Nu-Newbie> OerHeks: Thank you!
[21:58] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  latest VBox?
[21:58] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Yes
[21:59] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  PPA version?
[21:59] <_Marcus> PPA?
[21:59] <_Marcus> What's that
[21:59] <LqX_^> hello all, please see this video. Thanks realy http://youtu.be/X73lwr7RTAg
[21:59] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  PPA should be more up to date. I'm using it on 11.10, no prob.
[21:59] <_Marcus> sskalnik: What is PPA?
[22:00] <sskalnik> !ppa
[22:00] <OerHeks> LqX_^, STOP that please don't spam
[22:00] <LqX_^> okok, but please view, ITS FREE !
[22:00] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I can't boot. How am I supposed to install softwre?
[22:00] <Daekdroom> !offtopic | LqX_^
[22:00] <_Marcus> LqX_^: it's not related to this channel is it?
[22:00] <xangua> just give a 'don't like' LqX_^ ;)
[22:00] <cfhowlett> LqX_^: I listened.  Color me unimpressed...and go away now.
[22:02] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Wait... Software...
[22:02] <_Marcus> sskalnik: What I supposed to check something at install?
[22:02] <john_doe_jr> Any ideas why I can't get full screen in vmware on ubuntu?
[22:03] <lefrac01> open #wiidev
[22:03] <lefrac01> yikes
[22:03] <_Marcus> john_doe_jr: Go to the menu, press view, and press Fullscreen
[22:04] <sskalnik> john_doe_jr:  What _Marcus said. Also, you may need to install the Guest Additions
[22:05] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  which version of ubuntu are you using?
[22:05] <_Marcus> sskalnik: 11.10. But it's the minimal installation
[22:05] <SubjectOne> hello, when executing an .sh bash script, what should be the chmod .? so i can use ./scriptname.sh ?
[22:05] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  is that the host or guest?
[22:05] <_Marcus> sskalnik: What do you mean?
[22:05] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I just install
[22:05] <Earthcore> Hi, I am on ubuntu 10.04.3 and I can't use roll. I googgled but can't find a clue.
[22:05] <dryicebomb> SubjectOne chmod +x scriptname.sh
[22:06] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  is vbox running on Ubuntu 11.10, or on something else like Windows?
[22:06] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I am running Virtual Box on Windows XP Service Pack 3.
[22:06] <sskalnik> ok
[22:07] <xangua> Earthcore: roll?
[22:07] <sskalnik> Have you rebooted since installing vbox?
[22:07] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Yes. I've had this problem since Sunday and have rebooted many times.
[22:07] <sskalnik> ok
[22:08] <sskalnik> has vbox worked before, or is this a new install?
[22:08] <iceroot> can you recommend a mail-client able to use OWA instead of evolution?
[22:08] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I have installed normal Ubuntu on there, and it worked fine. So yes.
[22:10] <sskalnik> When you boot it with minimal, does minimal install?
[22:10] <_Marcus> sskalnik: With the iso?
[22:10] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  yes
[22:11] <mkjackson_mobile> hey folks, if I do a cifs mount using sudo, only root has permission to write to the partition... is there an option where I can have my account (the one that called sudo) get access as well?
[22:11] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  basically, do you get the problem from the get-go, or after you install minimal and reboot the vm?
[22:12] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I don't get any problem when booting the iso
[22:12] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  are you able to install minimal in the vm?
[22:12] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I'm going to try Rescue Mode.
[22:12] <_Marcus> sskalnik: It's already installed
[22:12] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  ok
[22:13] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I wonder if it's the United States archives I am getting the files from
[22:14] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  I don't see why that would be the root cause.
[22:14] <rod_> Hello! How can I confirm that my Ubuntu disk I just burned is good? The disk in windows gives me the little popup install menu but when I restart to boot from disk I get 'isolinux.bin missing or corrupt"
[22:15] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  have to head out in a minute, unfortunately, but stick around and someone else should be able to help out.
[22:15] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Okay. If I can't get this by 6 I may change to VMWare
[22:15] <_Marcus> It's 5:15 here
[22:16] <sskalnik> vmware may give you a case of the sads
[22:16] <Aelingil> Can i move "entries" around in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file? At the moment i have Ubuntu 11.10 & 11.04 on the same Grub boot, so i can work between them. There are the "backup/restore" files between the two lines i want to use. Can i move the unwanted ones down and have the two i want side by side?
[22:16] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Why?
[22:16] <sskalnik> When I used it on a similar system, it was resource intensive
[22:16] <_Marcus> sskalnik: When I change Virtual Box settings, I get one thing working, but it doesn't work all the way(Ubuntu doesn't)
[22:17] <_Marcus> So it HAS to be better than Virtual Box
[22:17] <sskalnik> What are your settings?
[22:17] <_Marcus> sskalnik: a lot of things
[22:17] <sskalnik> haha, fair enough
[22:17] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I can't keep track of what I've changed. I've pushed random buttons to see if it will work literally.
[22:17] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  Linux, ubuntu, correct version (32 or 64)?
[22:17] <Earthcore> xangua: scroll lock

[22:18] <spitzi> Hello. I've deleted a partition where Vista was installed and resized a Win 7 partition over the redeemed space. Now update-grub[2] doesn't find a bootable OS in the enlarged partition. I tried repairing with the Win7 DVD, but it found no operating system either. Any help ?
[22:18] <Earthcore> Hi, I am on ubuntu 10.04.3 and I can't use scroll lock. I googgled but can't find a clue.
[22:18] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  so after install, you get the GRUB screen, then after selection you get a blank screen?
[22:18] <_Marcus> sskalnik: It doesn't always show GRUB
[22:19] <daviddoria> I see this package here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libflann-dev but when I 'apt-get install libflann-dev it says unable to locate package. Any ideas why?

[22:22] <_Marcus> daviddroia: Look at the URL. http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libflann-dev It says "Percise" so I'm guessing it's not going to work with your version
[22:22] <daviddoria> _Marcus, what is "precise"?

[22:36] <Steevca> I am having a slow preformance on streams using jwplayer.What can be the problem ?
[22:37] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: I am running 10.04.3.  I try to connect to my router and sometimes it just hangs.  Although if I suspend my computer and start it back up, it will connect.  Any thoughts?
[22:37] <Earthcore> xangua: I'll try
[22:37] <Earthcore> xangua: it
[22:37] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: how many people use said router?
[22:37] <Earthcore> skltlf: mom
[22:38] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: not many.  Maximum of three people, but when I was trying to do this it was just me.  I have a Netgear Dual band router.
[22:38] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: ok. it is the gaming series?
[22:38] <chad-ubuntu> I don't think so.  It is the WNDR3300
[22:39] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: login to router (hardwire is best)
[22:40] <Zilly> What's a wireless NIC that will work with Linux out of the box?  It's not really practicle for me to have a wired connection to install the driver
[22:40] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: while logged in, open terminal and type: netstat -a
[22:40] <skltlf> zilly: most linksys, zonet, and some belkin
[22:40] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: I'm logged in, but I have to do it wirelessly to start.  I am typing to you from a different connection.  Long story short, I have two different internet services in my house on two different routers.
[22:41] <skltlf> ah
[22:41] <Zilly> skltlf, what about Intel cards?
[22:41] <skltlf> zilly: need ndiswrapper for that, simple install, go to intel.com, searchproduct id, download driver, download ndiswrapper in terminal, then apply the windows driver through that. voila
[22:42] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: ok. a bunch of stuff popped up.
[22:42] <Earthcore> xangua: does not work must be elsewhere
[22:42] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: sounds like the cache is getting jacked up for some reason (laymans terms) whens the last time you reset the router?
[22:42] <Earthcore> xangua: tnx anyway
[22:42] <skltlf> earthcore, check your bios
[22:43] <skltlf> some atx boards have a disable on them
[22:43] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: I just hooked it up today.  I bought it used, but reset to factory settings after I plugged it in so I could set up the name and stuff for myself.
[22:43] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: using ndiswrapper?
[22:44] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: I'm not familiar with ndiswrapper
[22:44] <mkjackson_mobile> hey folks, any help with mount + cifs?
[22:44] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: thats the program that allows windows network drivers to function. give it a shot
[22:45] <_Marcus> sskalnik: You here?
[22:45] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: Ok.  I just installed it.  I didn't even have it on here before that.  Just installed 10.04.3 yesterday.  I am trying to make a permanent switch to linux
[22:45] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: get the driver from the mfgr website, then try again, might fix issue, if not, try a different type of security, like a WEP instead
[22:45] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: ugh.  You said WEP. lol
[22:46] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: If I have to use WEP, I might as well use nothing at all! Ha!
[22:46] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: I have been using linux for 10 years, but I STILL have windows and mac computers available for this reason: they all need to find some compatibility. (web designer) so to ensure compatibility within all systems, I use all the top dogs.
[22:47] <Earthcore> skltlf: does not work :(
[22:47] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: i agree, but it may help you find the SOURCE of the issue. if you want to make a permanent switch, this is going to be the #3 lesson for you since you have already learned to install and utilize the program managers
[22:48] <Earthcore> skltlf: can't be disables itself during late ubuntu startup
[22:48] <skltlf> earthcore: try a macro, set that button on the keyboard to be a function. other option, take the key off the keyboard itself and make sure the contact is made when it is pressed
[22:49] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: I'll take any lessons.  It's fun to try something where I am constantly learning.  How do I run ndiswrapper?
[22:49] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: if it is already installed, it will be in the networking section, near utilities i believe
[22:50] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: its been a while since ive used it myself, I could be mistaken on the location of it
[22:50] <Earthcore> skltlf: The contact is made. I got two keyboards and it worked this morning.
[22:51] <skltlf> earthcore: create a macro and set the key to a function
[22:51] <meerkats> i have, again, sound problems, but my sound card is recognized by alsa, drivers are recognized (1.0.24) and in pulseaudio the sound card appears also, but there is no sound, even sound controls are not muted...
[22:51] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: Thanks for the help.  I am going to see if that helps.
[22:52] <skltlf> meerkats: what software are you trying to run?
[22:52] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: good luck pal
[22:52] <meerkats> skltlf, banshee, vlc
[22:52] <onasis> keep getting a boot up screen that say s to skip or wait? how do i get rid of that?
[22:52] <meerkats> skltlf, I have also reinstalled alsa base
[22:53] <skltlf> meerkats: love the name btw, make sure the lib files for MP3 playback are installed, as in many ubuntu versions, it is not an uto install
[22:53] <skltlf> auto*
[22:53] <meerkats> skltlf, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b35526c5a1244c1cf824861a96300d6e0b6d4659
[22:54] <meerkats> skltlf, what do i write in synaptic's lookbar? mp3 playback libraries?
[22:54] <skltlf> install ubuntustudio-audio-plugins
[22:55] <Guest6501> hello
[22:55] <skltlf> that gets all of em
[22:55] <eselle> hey, anyone know where the config files for the window decorations are? I want to mess with them a bit
[22:55] <overclucker> onasis: wait? it sounds like it wants to check your disk for you. it you let it run instead of skipping, it shouldn't come up again for a long while
[22:55] <skltlf> esell, for gnome3?
[22:56] <eselle> skltlf: xfce actually, so gnome 2 I think
[22:56] <onasis> overclucker yeah, it does it everytime how do i get rid of it?
[22:56] <skltlf> can't help there... i found it by mistake on gnome3
[22:56] <Earthcore> skltlf: other functions are missing too. Like the ctrl+shift to mark a single word in a text. It looks like somebody wiped my keysetting and the weirdest thing is that I am on a live session(CD)
[22:56] <skltlf> OH
[22:56] <eselle> ah np
[22:56] <overclucker> onasis: do you skip it every time?
[22:56] <skltlf> earthcore, there is probably a driver needed for your keyboard, you have a media keyboard, dont you?
[22:57] <onasis> it only give me a option to wait or skip
[22:57] <Earthcore> ACPI keyboard only
[22:57] <skltlf> earthcore, im at a loss here, I am really not sure man
[22:58] <Earthcore> Just a sleep key extra and the scroll lock turns the keyboard lights on.
[22:58] <skltlf> earthcore: my guess is it is something very simple, like a program locked it, but you need to find what program, whats the output of your task manager?
[22:58] <skltlf> pastebin it
[22:58] <Earthcore> skltfl
[22:59] <skltlf> thats me
[22:59] <overclucker> onasis: if you are skipping every time, instead of waiting, the boot message wont go away
[22:59] <Earthcore> skltfl: taskmanager?, Ubuntu?8|
[23:00] <onasis> ok i'll wait for it this time
[23:00] <bigterd> http://pastebin.com/tkbrUAt7
[23:00] <bigterd> http://pastebin.com/tkbrUAt7
[23:00] <bigterd> any ideas?
[23:00] <FloodBot1> bigterd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:00] <Aelingil> Can i move "entries" around in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file? At the moment i have Ubuntu 11.10 & 11.04 on the same Grub boot, so i can work between them. There are the "backup/restore" files between the two lines i want to use. Can i move the unwanted ones down and have the two i want side by side?
[23:00] <skltlf> lmao i try to use laymans terms
[23:02] <bigterd> http://pastebin.com/tkbrUAt7
[23:02] <Earthcore> skltlf: mom afk WC
[23:02] <bigterd> it seems my openbsd router doesn't mind mounting from the freebsd server, but linux hates it...
[23:03] <sun_devil> Anyone with experience creating symbolic links that point to a certain directory?
[23:05] <overclucker> Aelingil: if you do, the next kernel update will overwrite your grub.cfg file. you can make changes by changing files in /etc/grub.d and editing /etc/default/grub then running update-grub
[23:05] <bastidrazor> sun_devil: ln -s linkname /path/to/certain/directory
[23:05] <AlmightyJeon> hello
[23:06] <overclucker> bastidrazor: you got em backwards ...
[23:06] <sun_devil> what about cd /etc/skel/opt/acctsrev
[23:06] <bastidrazor> sun_devil: actually, reverse that.
[23:06] <bascotie> Please pm me if you're good with Samba/FTP on Ubuntu! I'm trying to transition over to a Linux server but this is demoralizing X_X
[23:06] <Aelingil> overclucker, will it matter if in my Grub file it show "### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ###" and the next one is /etc/grub.d/30 blah blah. Will i need to switch thoes numbers around at all?
[23:07] <Ben64> bascotie: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first.
[23:07] <bascotie> Sure
[23:08] <sun_devil> I created a symbolic link, but forgot how I did it.
[23:08] <bascotie> I setup an Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 Samba/FTP server. I can connect through ftp and share through samba fine but only when putting files ON the server, not pulling them off. I've tried port forwarding, playing with permissions,etc, but I still seem to get a permissions error. I am trying to connect from my Windows 7 machine to the Ubuntu Server.
[23:08] <MaxHR> Hello, I have a laptop I wish to install ubuntu to, but the cd drive doesn't work, is there a way to use another computer to install to the laptop over ethernet cable?
[23:09] <overclucker> Aelingil: that's pointing to where it got the entries from. you really shouldn't edit the grub.cfg. edit /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/ or changes wont stick
[23:09] <cfhowlett> MaxHR: does our lappy have a USB drive?
[23:09] <cfhowlett> MaxHR: does *Your lappy have a USB drive?
[23:09] <mustafaerhann> hey is there anyone that uses jdownload ?
[23:09] <MaxHR> cfhowlett: yes, but the bios doesn't support booting from usb
[23:09] <mustafaerhann> jdownloader
[23:09] <Ben64> !anyone | mustafaerhann
[23:10] <Jimm_> can anyone give me some advice on getting ubuntu to dualboot with winxp?
[23:10] <mansour> xxc
[23:10] <monohedron> MaxHR, you got a PXE server?
[23:10] <simox72> !lista
[23:10] <Pumpkin-> bigterd: as daft as it sounds, you do have nfs-client installed ?
[23:10] <mansour> ,cxncx
[23:10] <sun_devil> I have a directory called /opt/acctsrecv.  I have to create it in /etc/skel with the link pointing to a directory
[23:10] <bigterd> yeah, it was working fine. one day i rebooted and now it's b0rked....
[23:10] <cfhowlett> MaxHR: I've never done it but ...http://www.emanuelis.eu/2010/06/19/how-to-network-boot-a-diskless-ubuntu-10-04/
[23:11] <cfhowlett> Jimm_: what's the problem
[23:11] <mustafaerhann> oh i got it.
[23:11] <bascotie> Is there an IRC chat plugin for pidgeon that will alert you when someone says your name?
[23:11] <Jimm_> i have both xp and ubuntu installed using the install alongside option but when comp boots it goes straight to xp
[23:11] <MaxHR> monohedron: no, I was hoping I could boot up ubuntu live on the good computer, and tell the installer to point to the laptop over the ethernet...
[23:12] <hiexpo> bascotie, i believe so
[23:12] <Jimm_> they are on different hdd
[23:12] <cfhowlett> Jimm_: did you install xp after you installed ubuntu?
[23:12] <Jimm_> no, xp first
[23:12] <monohedron> MaxHR, well similar but not the same
[23:12] <cfhowlett> Jimm_: never mind my questton
[23:12] <monohedron> it's more tricky look for PXE server, there is an ubuntu guide how to set it up
[23:13] <MaxHR> monohedron: the laptop bios supports booting from the network card...
[23:13] <cfhowlett> MaxHR: see http://ubuntu-georgia.org/installing_ubuntu_and_windows_xp_on_separate_drives
[23:13] <Jak2000> hi all, anyone know programs for administrate network devices with protocol SNMP, programs like to: pandora, cacti, wich recommend me for use? thx
[23:13] <monohedron> MaxHR, yes PXE
[23:13] <Jimm_> i tried looking on documentation but it only explains for install on same hdd not 2 different ones
[23:14] <MaxHR> monohedron: that looks like to much work, I may just wait to fix the cd drive
[23:14] <monohedron> MaxHR, :)
[23:14] <cfhowlett> Jimm_: it can be done quite easily - need to search for configuring grub for 2 hDD's
[23:14] <Jimm_> kk, thanks
[23:15] <tristanc_> Hi everyone! I need some help regarding Ubuntu 12.04.
[23:15] <bastidrazor> tristanc_: ask in #ubuntu+1
[23:15] <Jak2000> bastidrazor any advice for me?
[23:15] <tristanc_> Okay, thanks for the heads-up, bastidrazor.
[23:15] <tristanc_> Have a nice day!
[23:16] <bastidrazor> Jak2000: drive safe.
[23:16] <MK`> what would cause random login attempts at tty1? My session on tty7 crashed, and it sent me to tty8, so I checked 1 and it had 3 failed login attempts of random numbers.
[23:18] <MaxHR> so when lts switches to 12.04, will old LTS systems autoupgrade, or can they be updgraded without a reinstall?
[23:20] <sun_devil> I have a directory called /opt/acctsrecv.  I have to create it in /etc/skel with the link pointing to a directory
[23:20] <Ben64> MaxHR: it will upgrade through the update manager
[23:20] <Jimm_> do i need a specific program to configure GRUB of can i do it with the ubuntu live desktop cd?
[23:21] <sun_devil> The file system is a pain
[23:22] <overclucker> sun_devil: ln -sv /opt/acctsrecv /etc/skel
[23:23] <tech2> Hi all, in byobu when using f-key mode, is there a shortcut equivalent to ctrl-a a (toggle between "tabs")?
[23:23] <kirkland> tech2: besides f3/f4 right and left?
[23:24] <tech2> kirkland: yeah, I used to be able to flip between two terminals separated by more than 1 number difference
[23:24] <Earthcore> skltfl: is there a program that shows locks on the keyboard?
[23:24] <overclucker> sun_devil: 'man ln' should give you more detailed info on how to use the command
[23:24] <xubuntu5> hmmm
[23:24] <xubuntu5> that shows locks?
[23:25] <Earthcore> xubuntu5
[23:25] <Earthcore> xubuntu5: keyboard locks
[23:25] <sun_devil> I think I have to be in cd /etc/skel to do the link the, I will go over my history thanks
[23:26] <MK`> Earthcore: what do you mean exactly? which keys act as lock keys?
[23:26] <Earthcore> xubuntu5: somebody is giving me a hard time using my keyboards backlight feature
[23:26] <PureEvil> Anyone ever install Neostats on Ubuntu 11.10
[23:26] <sun_devil> I have it in a VMware  and did not want to start it up right now, but thanks
[23:26] <PureEvil> Iam having a hell of a time lol
[23:27] <xubuntu5> wish i had a keyboard backlight sometimes rather than really old keyboard
[23:27] <tech2> kirkland: for example, I have 8 terms open in one byobu session now, if term 0 and term 5 have data I'm dealing with then with the ctrl-a escape I could hit ctrl-a a to flip between the last two terms I was in which is damned useful.
[23:27] <kirkland> tech2: ctrl-a a goes to the beginning of the line for me
[23:28] <PureEvil> If someone can take a Look: http://pastebin.com/hszQ5Mzg
[23:28] <Earthcore> MK`: Scroll lock just doesn't work but it worked some time this morning.
[23:28] <PureEvil> maybe tell me what I need to get
[23:28] <PureEvil> I got libperl-drv and gcc
[23:28] <PureEvil> I got libperl-dev and gcc
[23:28] <PureEvil> and didnt help
[23:28] <cfhowlett> PureEvil: no sprechen zie deutsch
[23:28] <tech2> kirkland: because you have it set to use f-keys rather than ctrl-a escape, byobu-ctrl-a allows you to choose between the two mechanisms
[23:28] <MK`> aside from running xmodmap -pm, I do not know how to check
[23:29] <MK`> that will tell you what modifier keys are assigned to what keycodes
[23:29] <tech2> kirkland: sorry, ctrl-a ctrl-a
[23:29] <Jak2000> bastidrazor NAGIOS
[23:29] <Earthcore> MK`: and settings in my liv esession are constantly changing even thou I do not change anything
[23:29] <Ben64> PureEvil: why is it in german?
[23:29] <kirkland> tech2: okay, ctrl-a ctrl-a is working perfectly as you say for me
[23:29] <kirkland> tech2: byobu -v ?
[23:29] <PureEvil> helping a guy from another country lol
[23:29] <_Marcus> In aptitude, how do I download a package?
[23:30] <PureEvil> and its all in that laungauge, doesnt make it easy for me either lol
[23:30] <xubuntu5> sudo aptitude -install padre
[23:30] <_Marcus> xubuntu5: I meant in the command line menu, how do I isntall it when I am over it
[23:30] <_Marcus> Selected
[23:31] <Earthcore> MK`: tnx a lot
[23:31] <xubuntu5> over it?
[23:31] <tech2> kirkland: right, so I guess I use f-12 ctrl-a for it in f-key mode?  I'm sure I'll work it out, was just wondering if I'd missed something obvious. Would be nice for example if I could just hit f-12 f-12 in the same way
[23:31] <Ben64> PureEvil: should probably get support from neostats
[23:31] <PureEvil> there is none that I know of
[23:32] <PureEvil> I dont normally have these issues, Iam just really at a loss this time
[23:32] <PureEvil> lol
[23:32] <PureEvil> cant seem to figure out what Iam missing
[23:32] <Ben64> PureEvil: looks like it hasn't been updated in 4 years
[23:33] <kirkland> tech2: oh, so you want ctrl-a to work in emacs mode
[23:33] <freerout1> Can anyone please tell me how to manually set my screen brightness? The brightness value increments that can be changed with the key combo on my laptop are too big. Also, almost every guide I read had told me to check /proc/acpi/video, but that folder does not exist. Example - http://www.ubuntuka.com/ubuntu-command-line-tricks-set-1/
[23:33] <PureEvil> no but I have neostats running on several other servers
[23:33] <zxcasd> hi all, im trying to access my ubuntu machine remotely with a GUI interface.
[23:33] <Earthcore> http://paste.ubuntu.com/842379/ anybody got the same?
[23:33] <PureEvil> I can even get it to install on my own
[23:33] <PureEvil> jsut not on his for some reason
[23:33] <zxcasd> As I understand there are a number of ways: XDMCP, X tunneled over SSH, RDP, VNC, NX ...
[23:33] <kirkland> tech2: if you're running byobu v 5.9, there's a bug related to this;  should be fixed in byobu 5.10 now
[23:33] <muelli> freerout1: check xbacklight
[23:33] <zxcasd>  How do they compare and which is the fastest over slow connections yet still secur
[23:33] <muelli> ubottu: !xbacklight | freerout1
[23:34] <Ben64> zxcasd: probably NZ
[23:34] <Ben64> NX*
[23:34] <tech2> kirkland: it's like they're reading my mind. Thanks, didn't even consider this a bug. Think it'll make it to Oneiric?
[23:34] <zxcasd> what does it require to access from a windows machine
[23:35] <zxcasd> do I need an X server?
[23:35] <Ben64> NX client
[23:35] <freerout1> ploop: tried restarting gdm? that will close all of your open graphical windows and restard the gnome environment
[23:35] <kirkland> tech2: no, sorry;  but I maintain a ppa for byobu for all supported ubuntu releases;  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:byobu/ppa
[23:35] <zxcasd> any NX client recommended (free preferably)?
[23:35] <tech2> kirkland: what I want is f-12 f-12 to flip buffers like ctrl-a ctrl-a does tbh. But beggars can't be choosers. Guess I'll just move back to ctrl-a escapes.
[23:36] <kirkland> tech2: I don't think that's going to be possible, but I'll take a look
[23:36] <zxcasd> Ben64:  any NX client recommended (free preferably)?
[23:36] <tech2> thanks
[23:36] <Ben64> zxcasd: google is your friend
[23:36] <freerout1> muelli: thanks, I just installed xbacklight, but unfortunately it's telling me that "No outputs have backlight property"
[23:37] <muelli> freerout1: :( Then you're doomed I guess.
[23:37] <zxcasd> Ben64: is it like VNC, do I have to be logged in to mirror the display?
[23:38] <naryfa> what is byobu for?
[23:38] <savage2005> I formatted my hard drive getting rid of 2 windows installs and installed a new windows now my boot loader shows 3 win 7 and ubuntu how do i get rid of the other 2 win 7?
[23:38] <tech2> naryfa: multiplexing a terminal, like screen on steroids.
[23:38] <Earthcore> http://paste.ubuntu.com/842379/ anybody got the same keysetting?
[23:38] <naryfa> tech2: sounds cool
[23:38] <tech2> naryfa: yep :)
[23:39] <cfhowlett> savage2005: those show up in grub?
[23:39] <freerout1> muelli: Well then I guess it finally became time to throw my laptop out of the window
[23:39] <danileigh79> savage2005: How many partitions in gparted?
[23:39] <muelli> freerout1: well, better complain to your graphics driver vendor to give you a proper driver
[23:39] <savage2005> cfhowlett: when i boot the comp i can select between these OS's only 2 are real
[23:40] <_Marcus> WHY WONT THE UBUNTU MINIMAL INSTALLATION WORK?! Honestly! Does it just hate virtual machines?
[23:40] <tech2> _Marcus: many things hate VMs :(
[23:40] <_Marcus> tech2: Yeah well it needs to not hate them
[23:40] <mustafaerhann> well about my experiences. virtual machines socks on linuxes.
[23:40] <log> !caps | _Marcus
[23:40] <freerout1> muelli: I thought nVidia provided best graphic drivers for Linux? I got GTX 260m
[23:40] <tech2> _Marcus: tell that to compiz in precise...
[23:40] <_Marcus> log: Sorry
[23:40] <savage2005> danileigh79: what is gparted
[23:41] <log> _Marcus: No worries.
[23:41] <danileigh79> savage2005: partition editor in ubuntu
[23:41] <Ben64> freerout1: graphic driver doesn't control backlight
[23:41] <_Marcus> log: do you know how to get it working in a virtual machine?
[23:41] <savage2005> danileigh79: where do i find it?
[23:41] <_Marcus> log: It installs, but the operating system doesn't load bash
[23:41] <Ben64> _Marcus: have you tried the alternate installer
[23:41] <xubuntu5> use ssh don't neex X
[23:41] <muelli> freerout1: well. I don't know about your card, but AFAIK is nvidia the worst wrt drivers. There is linuxhcl.com which kinda tries to list compatible hardware.

[23:42] <Ben64> _Marcus: you can remove packages later
[23:42] <log> !opera | whoever
[23:42] <_Marcus> Ben64: I don't want to remove packages, I just want this to work

[23:42] <savage2005> danileigh79: *wasnt installed* installing now
[23:43] <puff_> this(_?_)[ ???
[23:43] <_Marcus> Ben64: All that is really wrong is that it wont load tty.
[23:43] <danileigh79> savage2005: I was just about to tell you, lol installs 11.04 and earlier and do dl it
[23:43] <puff_> it not defined
[23:43] <Ben64> _Marcus: what do you mean
[23:44] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: currently running a mini iso install...
[23:44] <_Marcus> Ben64: It starts up, loads Ubuntu, but not terminal.
[23:44] <overclucker> _Marcus: do you have and ttys in /etc/init ?
[23:44] <danileigh79> savage2005: sorry took so lng, am finishing up dinner for my family lol

[23:44] <_Marcus> overclucker: I can't get to them, as I can't use anything
[23:44] <Ben64> _Marcus: how does ubuntu load if it doesn't load
[23:45] <_Marcus> I'll load the Rescue mode command line
[23:45] <Ben64> _Marcus: you're not making any sense
[23:45] <_Marcus> Ben64: The operating system loads. The terminal doesn't. I can't type anything
[23:45] <puff_> umm when you boot is your screen purple?
[23:45] <savage2005> danileigh79: no worries, i cannot seem to mount a partition i previously had access to, gparted also has a ! on this partition
[23:46] <overclucker> _Marcus: can you boot off a cd and configure it from there?
[23:46] <puff_> I find a clean install usually fixes any odd quirks
[23:46] <puff_> but you do know there is a new kernel image
[23:46] <_Marcus> overclucker: Hold on, I'll boot to the installation and get to the Rescue Mode command line
[23:47] <savage2005> danileigh79: now i cant remember what is all on each of these partitions... im going to have to figure that part out first
[23:47] <xubuntu5> how do i access my x1 ctrl alt F7?
[23:48] <puff_> manually
[23:48] <lion42> savage2005, the directions on gparted's manual say to try using http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk to recover a lost partition. Maybe that may help you figure out the problem and resolve it?
[23:48] <xubuntu5> and remotely?
[23:48] <puff_> !remote
[23:48] <puff_> thanx ubotto
[23:49] <xubuntu5> how do i access my x8 don't have a ctrl alt 14

[23:51] <Earthcore> hi can somebody with a german keyboard please post his xmodmap -pk scroll lock value mine is 0xff14 (Scroll_Lock).
[23:52] <Earthcore> General question: Is anybody having trouble using SCROLL LOCK on Ubuntu?
[23:53] <log> I've never used that key for anything...
[23:54] <Earthcore> Would you be so kind to try it for me and tell me what happens?
[23:54] <Canadian1296> Earthcore: I was under the impression it was for Windows only. Correct e if I'm wrong, but I don't thing it does anything in Ubuntu.
[23:55] <cfhowlett> Earthcore: see http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/getting-scroll-lock-to-work-in-ubuntu-9-10-a-778275/
[23:55] <Earthcore> Canadian1296: it is supposed to light my keyboard and it did just this morning.
[23:56] <Earthcore> cfhowlett: lifesaver :)
[23:56] <cfhowlett> Earthcore: have fun/be safe
[23:56] <Freedom_> can someone help me use grub customizer to dual boot from 2 hard drives please?
[23:56] <Canadian1296> Earthcore: That's keyboard dependant. It has nothing to do with the OS of the computer.
[23:57] <bascotie> I setup an Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 Samba/FTP server. I can connect through ftp and share through samba fine but only when putting files ON the server, not pulling them off. I've tried port forwarding, playing with permissions,etc, but I still seem to get a permissions error. I am trying to connect from my Windows 7 machine to the Ubuntu Server.
[23:58] <cfhowlett> bascotie: if no answer here, ask @ #ubuntu-server ?
[23:58] <bascotie> thanks!
[23:58] <Earthcore> Canadian1296: It might because it is wired to scroll lock. A decision I have to deal with.
[23:59] <Earthcore> Canadian1296: *it certainly is
[23:59] <Freedom_> does anyone know how to use Grub Customizer?
[23:59] <Earthcore> Canadian1296: because ubuntu locks scroll lock during late startup
[23:59] <werdnativ> On lucid, I just installed php 5.3.8 from nginx ppa. Now I'm getting errors with loading the mysql.so and sqlite.so. I installed lucid packages for php5-mysql and php5-sqlite but they are 5.3.2, are there any newer ones?
