[07:17] <Evildaemon> How is the mouse controlled in linux? (I need to know so I can attempt to write a script that will control it with the arrow keys, thank you in advance, and if this already exists I'd be happy to use it.)
[07:17] <_antant> service is running fine, but I need to wiggle around some valid/invalid users
[07:17] <_antant> and it seems to have fled
[07:17] <alkisg> raido: on some cases I didn't have /dev/fd0, and I needed to `modprobe floppy` to get those. But I'm not sure in which cases that happens.
[07:17] <raido> _antant: /etc/samba/
[07:18] <_antant> doh
[07:18] <raido> alkisg: Prolly, in those cases the floppy kernel module was blacklisted by default.
[07:19] <alkisg> raido: but when does this happen? Does ubiquity blacklist it, based on floppy availability upon installation?
[07:19] <raido> alkisg: IDK
[07:19] <alkisg> raido: thank you though
[07:19] <raido> alkisg: np
[07:19] <ChrisBuchholz> Hello guys. I was wondering if there exist a better driver MacBook touchpad/trackpad than what is set up default on ubuntu? I was trying out Touchégg and creating a file like described here https://code.google.com/p/touchegg/wiki/ConfigureDevices And that actually gave me a "better feeling" trackpad experience - it seemed to respond more like on OS X. No lost selections and failty clicks. I lost multitouch though so i reverted it.
[07:20] <GeneralK> Anyone able to offer a bit of advice on how to mount an NTFS partition on an gpt partitioned drive? So far I am having no lucj,
[07:20] <robbiethe1st> I've got some odd performance issues with OpenGL, Would anyone mind taking a look at this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10569583
[07:20] <GeneralK> luck, rather.
[07:21] <alkisg> Evildaemon: you can control the mouse from a script with this: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/xte
[07:21] <Evildaemon> Thank you
[07:21] <raido> GeneralK: whats gpt?
[07:23] <raido> htop
[07:23] <GeneralK> raido, It seems to be the type of partition table that Windows 7 uses.
[07:23]  * raido oops
[07:25] <raido> GeneralK: So you have a ntfs partition that you want to use in Linux
[07:25] <GeneralK> raido, Yes. According to parted, it's the number 2 partition on /dev/sda
[07:26] <MichealH> GeneralK, Does it show up in the Places menu? You want to open the ntfs partition?
[07:26] <raido> GeneralK: so make a mount point in /media, like "sudo mkdir /media/ntfsdrive"
[07:27] <GeneralK> MichealH, No, not in the places menu.
[07:27] <_antant> ok, how do allow a network user to delete files off a share?
[07:28] <GeneralK> raido, Yep, done...
[07:28] <MichealH> _antant, Im not familiar with Linux networking but I beleive "sudo chmod 777 file.file"can do the trick on the file
[07:28] <raido> GeneralK: now do "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/ntfsdrive"
[07:28] <MichealH> 777 = anyone an read wite delete and excecute
[07:29] <GeneralK> raido, I tried that before... /dev/sda2 does not exist
[07:29] <raido> You said it was #2 on sda
[07:29] <GeneralK> Yep
[07:30] <GeneralK> that is what parted says
[07:30] <raido> GeneralK: Guess not then
[07:30] <raido> what does "sudo fdisk -l" say
[07:30] <qkit> Generalk: if you run fdisk -ll how many partition appear?
[07:31] <GeneralK> qkit, raido : The output is long... what is that website where I can dump the output & give you a url?
[07:31] <Lancelot> Does anyone know of a good resource that I can use to learn about the linux shell and how to use terminal?
[07:31] <_antant> ok, I've made my network user have the main group of the user that owns the folder. That should work, no?
[07:32] <MichealH> It should do
[07:32] <raido> GeneralK: paste.ubuntu.com
[07:33] <GeneralK> raido, qkit : http://paste.ubuntu.com/581956/
[07:33] <_antant> how about adding create/directory mask = 0770 to my conf?
[07:34] <Diverdude> ehhhh is there something wrong with ubuntus update servers? I am downloading with ~7 kb/s from it
[07:35] <qkit> Ouch, the wifi here are damn slow....
[07:35] <_antant> Woohoo! That's done it
[07:36] <qkit> Raido, you mange to load the page? i getting timeout here. :(
[07:37] <raido> GeneralK: You have 4 HDs?
[07:38] <GeneralK> raido, Well, there are 2 'raid arrays'. The first is made up of 4 and the second is just one 1 tb hdd.
[07:39] <raido> GeneralK: Is the ntfs partition on a raid volume
[07:40] <_antant> Huh. Can I take ownership of my external ntfs drive away from root?
[07:42] <GeneralK> raido, Well, I think the system might see it as one. Technically it isn't, it's just 1 HD. Check out http://paste.ubuntu.com/581964/ for the output from parted.
[07:43] <raido> GeneralK: now do "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda /media/ntfsdrive"
[07:43] <schinken> morning
[07:44] <GeneralK> raido, NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sda': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sda' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
[07:44] <schinken> I've installed a package with dpkg -i --force-depends yesterday (because i dont need the dependencys (and i dont have em)) - but now, i cant update my system anymore - because of a broken package. Any idea?
[07:45] <raido> GeneralK: try 1 sda1
[07:45] <Softdroid> Hello
[07:46] <GeneralK> raido, Same as before now... sda1 no such file or directory
[07:46] <Softdroid> I there any other software for Ubuntu for playing swf beside Gnash player?
[07:46] <Softdroid> Is
[07:46] <Fuchs> Softdroid: vlc and mplayer should be able to (not interactivly) play it, else you can watch them in a browser with the adobe flash plugin
[07:47] <raido> GeneralK: Ok, last try, use /dev/dm-0p1
[07:47] <Softdroid> Fuchs: Thanks for your replay. I need a player so I can rewind or forward the movie
[07:47] <cong06> Has anyone here experienced an RSA key change based entirely on an ISP restructure? ie: would an ISP restructure cause a RSA key change over ssh? SSH gives me a warning if the IP changed and the RSA key changed. and this time both have changed. the IP changing is normal. the IP address is dynamic after all... I'm just not sure if I should be worried or not. I realize it's more likely a hardware issue than someone actually being malicious, but I don't want to t
[07:48] <GeneralK> raido, Yeah, I also tried that before... still the same, does not exist :-/
[07:48] <raido> GeneralK: Im lost. Sorry buddy.
[07:48] <Fuchs> Softdroid: try vlc or mplayer
[07:49] <Starminn> Is there an app or a plugin for a media player that will show you the lyrics of the current song playing? For example, Windows Media Player has the option, and so do iPods while something is playing, so is there a pugin or something I could use? Even a separate app dedicated solely to the purpose of showing you a song's lyrics? (I'm using Banshee but others are fine)
[07:49] <Softdroid> Fuchs: vlc can't play the files. But I will try mplayer. Thanks
[07:49] <GeneralK> raido, Ah well. Buggered if I know either. Very frustrating :-/ Thanks for trying though.
[07:50] <raido> GeneralK: np, BTW see this on GPT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
[07:51] <qkit> GeneralK: how about running this command "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda /media/ntfsdrive"
[07:51] <raido> cong06: Your key didnt change, there is just a mismatch between the hash for the IP you had before and the one you have now. Just delete the line in ~/.ssh/known_hosts that contains the old IP reference
[07:52] <GeneralK> qkit, Same response as when we tried before with just the ntfs argument :-/
[07:52] <cong06> raido: except it's set to warn me only if the IP and the RSA key changed.
[07:53] <raido> Are you logging in via ssh keys without a password
[07:53] <cong06> raido: or are you saying that the key is based on the ip? that doesn't make any sense because the ip changes constantly, and this is hte first time I saw it.
[07:53] <cong06> yeah. without a password. auto-logging in: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/152
[07:53] <raido> cong06: Are you logging in via ssh keys without a password
[07:53] <Diverdude> ehhhh is there something wrong with ubuntus update servers? I am downloading with ~7 kb/s from it
[07:54] <raido> Did it log you in after the warning
[07:54] <cong06> no.
[07:54] <raido> cong06: can you copy the output and paste it
[07:55] <cong06> raido: to the chat? or do you want me to send it to your PM?
[07:55] <_antant> Can I set the owner of a mount in fstab?
[07:55] <raido> cong06: to paste.ubuntu.com
[07:55] <GeneralK> qkit, It's really annoying.  My main HD is a raid array

[08:05] <GeneralK> gaaaah
[08:05] <ericy> Guest73740: Do you mean in IRC or in your Ubuntu install?
[08:06] <qkit> Generalk: in the /var/log/messages, do you spot any unsual error? when you run that command?
[08:06] <qkit> or it cna be trace under dmesg also
[08:06] <qkit> s/cna/can
[08:07] <Guest73740> yes in IRC
[08:07] <Guest73740> ericy
[08:07] <GeneralK> qkit, Nah, nothing. I have a suspicion that it has something to do with the raid though
[08:08] <_antant> When I try and chown an ntfs usb drive mounted in fstab from root won't let me. It doesn't give me an error it just doesn't do it. Is there a way I can take ownership?
[08:08] <ericy> Guest73740: Do: /nick yournewnick
[08:08] <researcher1> I want to customize liveCD with my personal logo made as .jpg file. How can that be done?
[08:09] <ericy>  <qkit> Generalk: Thats -t ntfs    not -t ntfs-3g , ?? rightt ?
[08:10] <Softdroid> Sometimes the menu or texts in a browser is missed up in Ubuntu. Have anyone got such a problem, any solutions for that?
[08:10] <Softdroid> messed

[08:11] <shark1> Thank you
[08:11] <Starminn> Softdroid: YOu mean File/Edit/View/Tools/Help stuff?
[08:11] <ericy> shark1: OK.  Try: /help
[08:12] <shark1> shark was someone ,shark1 is my name
[08:12] <Softdroid> Starminn: Yes, for example when i'm using Openoffice word
[08:12] <Guest78044> do you know if certain font types are easier to read or make the reader more susceptible to convincing?
[08:12] <GeneralK> qkit, ericy : See, the drive also seems to show up as /dev/dm-0
[08:13] <Starminn> Softdroid: Certain apps (just by the way they're made) don't play well with various color schemes. For example, Firefox and OpenOffice/LibreOffice are notorious culprits for misbehaving with dark themes.
[08:13] <Softdroid> Starminn: Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to change the themes?
[08:13] <Starminn> Softdroid: While I've seen some fixes every so often I've never tried any of them because to get the normal white back it looks like you'd have to edit it by hand again. I could find them if you want, ubt in general the rule of thumb here is "Don't use dark themes if you need those menus."
[08:14] <Starminn> Softdroid: I'm talking about system themes, which is what you've done to get that to happen.
[08:14] <Starminn> Softdroid: System->Preferences->Appearance
[08:14] <qkit> Generalk: hmm...try to mount using /dev/dm-0p1 rather then the sda
[08:15] <shark1> Thank you  ericy  I'm trying ubuntu
[08:15] <Starminn> Softdroid: The ones that come default should be fine but some you get from GNOME-Look may not play so well.
[08:15] <Softdroid> Starminn: The menus are unreadable but when I move the mouse over the items its readable again. Is that the problem you are talking about?
[08:16] <Starminn> Softdroid: Yep.
[08:16] <Softdroid> Starminn: I don't use dark theme, but I have changed the theme
[08:16] <GeneralK> qkit, Again, there's nothing other than dm-0 there's no dm-01 etc.
[08:16] <Softdroid> Starminn: How can I change the theme back to default?
[08:17] <ericy> shark1: good luck to you.  It return no such partition?
[08:19] <Softdroid> Starminn: Thanks. You are using dark theme :)
[08:19] <GeneralK> qkit, Oh, cool... there's a gui for parted. :P
[08:19] <shark1> ericy: I'm learning programming
[08:19] <ericy> GeneralK: (I might be joining your conversation/problem very late) but if you can do command line, what do   sfdisk -l     blkid    and    df -h show?
[08:19] <shark1> do you like it
[08:19] <Starminn> Softdroid: Another thing to take ntoe of is when using dark themes (mine doesn't do it because it's a white foreground but the ones that are *really* dark) the icons go into "high contrast" mode in Open/Libre Office.
[08:20] <qkit> :)
[08:20] <ericy> GeneralK:    sfdisk -l      blkid    and    df -h show?
[08:20] <Starminn> Softdroid: Yes, I am. I use Firefox 4 Beta though so the only apps I can't read well are LibreOffice and the logout/Sht Down button
[08:20] <Softdroid> Starminn: Ok, thanks for the info
[08:20] <Starminn> Softdroid: I deal with it. ;) Lol.
[08:20] <GeneralK> ericy, I'll paste dump it all, hold one...
[08:20] <qkit> Generalk: also the ls /dev/mapper ? anything show up?
[08:21] <ericy> GeneralK:  That's 3 separate commands:  sfdisk -l       blkid         df -h
[08:21] <Starminn> Anybody have suggestions for making my media player work again without not responding shortly after launch? This is the error I receive. I installed a plugin for Banshee and now it's doing this. How can I restore it to before the plugin? http://pastebin.com/qCgBycLg
[08:23] <qkit> ericy: i believe sfdisk cant read gpt partition. His NTFS file system run on a gpt partition
[08:23] <GeneralK> ericy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/581971/
[08:24] <_antant> qkit / ericy, you seem to be the people to ask. I'm trying to get write access over samba to a usb hdd mounted in fstab. I've tried change owner from root but it won't let me. Do you know of a way to do it?
[08:24] <ericy> antant: Hold on...

[08:34] <pbear> what's the difference between kernel compiling from the git-tree or via apt-get and from kernel.org??
[08:35] <Starminn> Anybody have suggestions for making my media player work again without not responding shortly after launch? This is the error I receive. http://pastebin.com/qCgBycLg I installed a plugin for Banshee and now it's doing this. How can I restore it to before the plugin?
[08:35] <Sonne> pbear, the git-tree would be the most bleeding edge kernel i'd guess, apt-get would get you the ubuntu patched sources, and kernel.org would get you the lastest stable kernel without patches
[08:36] <ethanol> Starminn: uninstall the plugin?
[08:36] <Starminn> Yeah, how do I do that?
[08:36] <ethanol> Starminn: how did you install it?
[08:36] <Starminn> I navigated to it on my disk and deleted the file but it keeps coming back
[08:36] <Starminn> ethanol: Eh, the install.sh included in the package
[08:37] <ethanol> open that and see where it placed files
[08:37] <GeneralK> qkit, A floating point exception!
[08:37] <Xbios> imgonna own youre ass fag
[08:37] <qkit> what you get in "ls /dev/mapper" ?
[08:38] <Starminn> ethanol: Well I actually just purged Banshee, so if it doesn't work I'll let you know. ;)
[08:38] <Starminn> After I reinstalled it it still had the plugin after I killed the ./.config/banshee-1 folder
[08:38] <Starminn> Ho hum
[08:39] <Sonne> Starminn, if you installed the plugin locally, reinstalling banshee won't help
[08:39] <Starminn> Sonne: After a nice little purge it still is doing it so yeah, I'm discovering that.
[08:39] <Sonne> that goes for everything else as well :)
[08:40] <Sonne> Starminn, if you don't mind reconfiguring it, you might as well just annihilate the configuration whole
[08:41] <Starminn> Sonne: I thought that's what purge did? remove+kill all configs. I tried hand-deleting the configs I could find in /home to no avail
[08:41] <Starminn> I really odn't mind, though. I mean I've already got a lot of hours of crap to do now from uninstalling so I actually would love to start fresh.

[08:47] <bazZ061> and which command is it in ubuntu?
[08:47] <bazZ061> i didnt find anything @ google
[08:47] <Starminn> ethanol: "sudo locate Banshee.Lyrics.dll" didn't work even though I'm looking at the file
[08:47] <ethanol> bazhang: iptables for port forwarding
[08:47] <ethanol> Starminn: define "didn't work"
[08:47] <bazZ061> port forwarding is automated in my router
[08:48] <Starminn> ethanol: It returned nothing.
[08:48] <ethanol> Starminn: did you try a sudo updatedb ?
[08:48] <bazZ061> but i have to open the port in my ubuntu machine
[08:48] <Sonne> Starminn, follow me please - did you run the install.sh script with sudo?
[08:48] <gamemakingdude> Ignore me....
[08:48] <ethanol> gamemakingdude: ok :)
[08:49] <gamemakingdude> ...
[08:49] <Starminn> Sonne ethanol: It's working now. I just ran "sudo rm /usr/lib/banshee-1/Banshee.Lyrics.dll" and restarted Banshee. Voila, no issue.
[08:49] <Starminn> Sonne: Are we going to Candy Mountain? Sorry, anyway, yes, I did
[08:50] <ET-0nline> how do i install ssh is it sudo apt-get install ssh
[08:50] <Sonne> Starminn, i missed your candy mountain reference - nevertheless i'm glad you managed to remove it
[08:51] <Sonne> ET-0nline, definitely, yes
[08:51] <Sonne> ET-0nline, the client should be already there though - for the server you might want openssh-server
[08:51] <ET-0nline> sonne: and then if i want a user to connect to my ubuntu ssh how to do that
[08:51] <beer_brouwer> does anyone know a tool to create your own api?
[08:51] <Sonne> ET-0nline, create the user, give it a password, give your ip to your user
[08:51] <Starminn> Sonne: Ah. It was simply one of those lame YouTube videos that gained popularity through some process full of facepalms a few years ago. Old news now. I would link you but it's highly irrelevant. Basically, "YouTube garbage" is a nice summary.
[08:52] <Sonne> Starminn, noted
[08:52] <ET-0nline> how is it to add user is it sudo add user
[08:52] <Starminn> Sonne: Thanks for the help though. If you have time, care to tell me more of this "locate" command? I can see this being very useful.
[08:52] <ethanol> candy mountain was awesome
[08:52] <Sonne> ET-0nline, sudo adduser <username>
[08:52] <peetoon> Can anyone help me with my wireless card? It shows up on lshw but it doesn't seem to have a logical name.
[08:52] <ethanol> almost as awesome as romeo and juliet in leetspeak
[08:52] <Witeds> i have a question for any one experianced enough in ubuntu or any other linux destro and wifi. is there a way to make it so i can see if there is hiden ESSIDs around me ? my ds using dsorganize can see them i was wondering if i could get my pc to ?
[08:53] <Sonne> Starminn, periodically, your system stores a database of all the files you have on your disks (the update is done at some time during the night i believe)
[08:53]  * Starminn tries to prevent the lines of #ubuntu/#ubuntu-offtopic from crossing *cough*ethanol*cough*
[08:53] <Sonne> by launching "locate" you can query that database, and see where a file is
[08:53] <ethanol> Sonne: sudo updatedb
[08:53] <Gartral> Hello all, i'm trying too get pppd too run, but it appears i don't have a ppp_generic kernel module...
[08:53] <ethanol> :p
[08:53] <Starminn> Sonne: Ah. And what were you saying about updating said DB?
[08:53] <Starminn> ethanol: ah.
[08:53] <gamemakingdude> I have a problem with installing ubuntu on a usb and i do not want it to be the live version!
[08:54] <Sonne> ethanol, why do you tell me that?
[08:54] <ethanol> Sonne: it doens't have to be nightly, it can be at your will too
[08:54] <Sonne> ethanol, i was about to mention that - by default is nightly
[08:54] <schinken> I've installed a package with dpkg -i --force-depends yesterday (because i dont need the dependencys (and i dont have em)) - but now, i cant update my system anymore - because of a broken package. Any idea?
[08:54] <ethanol> gamemakingdude: google install ubuntu on usb
[08:55] <Sonne> schinken, dpkg -r <that_package_name>
[08:55] <gamemakingdude> I have
[08:55] <Starminn> gamemakingdude: What do you mean "Live version"?
[08:55] <ethanol> gamemakingdude: this is irc, not your local how-to multichapter channel
[08:55] <gamemakingdude> i've tried pen drive linux
[08:55] <bonjoyee> schinken: sudo apt-get install -f
[08:55] <gamemakingdude> Starminn: Live cd.
[08:56] <ethanol> gamemakingdude: then don't install the live version
[08:56] <gamemakingdude> ....
[08:56] <gamemakingdude> I'm not installing it
[08:56] <gamemakingdude> its the pendrive linux that does it
[08:56] <Starminn> gamemakingdude: So you want it to run as a mini computer on the USB? AFAIK the newer Ubuntus don't work on that? Most people go with Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux anyway, but the newer Ubuntus don't seem to be compatible with Pen Drive Linux according to their sit last I checked
[08:56] <Witeds> i guess thats a no to my question
[08:56] <Starminn> their site*
[08:57] <linux> hello
[08:57] <gamemakingdude> Then why is it included in the pendrivelinux list?
[08:57] <lathan_devers> ethanol, if you need a live usb linux I suggest http://www.slax.org/ Very lightweight and small
[08:58] <ethanol> I do not
[08:58] <Starminn> !usb | gamemakingdude (read the second link)
[08:58] <Starminn> gamemakingdude: Some of those might help?
[08:58] <schinken> Sonne: why remove? :/
[08:59] <schinken> i dont want to remove that package
[08:59] <Starminn> gamemakingdude: And yeah, I was thinking of the wrong program's site.
[08:59] <ct529> hi guys, I cannot play asf files on *ubuntu 10.10 .... I googled and searched but did not find a solution
[08:59] <ct529> can anyone help me?
[08:59] <schinken> its working as it is, but i cant resolve the dependencies
[08:59] <tensorpudding> what's an asf file?
[08:59] <gamemakingdude> So what ubuntu 8.04 only works on usbs?
[08:59] <researcher1> where are the .jpg files stored which give background to Ubuntu?
[09:00] <ct529> tensorpudding: it is a microsoft (£^£*%~&£$~!) multimedia file that is used by some internet radio streamers
[09:00] <ct529> tensorpudding: for example http://live1.interoutemediaservices.com/?id=632ecab2-c76f-49f6-8faf-2a99d13131d2
[09:00] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[09:00] <tensorpudding> ct529: tried using banshee?
[09:00] <Starminn> researcher1: /usr/share/backgrounds I believe.
[09:01] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[09:01] <Gartral> ct529: install ubuntu restrictred extras and banshee
[09:01] <Sonne> schinken, remove it, upgrade, reinstall it
[09:01] <Sonne> brb
[09:01] <ciphersson1> hi all
[09:01] <Starminn> researcher1: /usr/share is where most system-wide files for users are. S if it's not in your home folder, check there.
[09:01] <Starminn> So*
[09:01] <DJones> ct529: This looks like a plug in for XMMS2 http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/sound/xmms2-plugin-asf You should be able to install the plugin via synaptic and sounds like it'll help you to play .asf files
[09:01] <gamemakingdude> Most of the stuff on there is mostly for live stuff
[09:01] <ciphersson1> is there a certin way I should install ubuntu 10.10 on an intel ssd?
[09:01] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[09:02] <gamemakingdude> and not for mini computer
[09:02] <tensorpudding> venkatesh_: probably converts a 16bit int from little endian to whatever the cpu uses
[09:02] <ct529> Gartral: I have already installed them
[09:02] <Starminn> gamemakingdude:"This means that you can boot from a USB drive and keep customisations  such as keyboard layout, numlock, preferences, additional packages saved  on the drive. " What is lacking? That's what your desktop/laptop does.
[09:03] <Gartral> ciphersson1: i believe ubuntu will recognize the SSD and automatically disable journaling, and enable wear-leveling.
[09:03] <venkatesh_> thamk you Tensorpudding , do you have any link which as this information..
[09:03] <fedora_newb> is there a way to save settings in xchat, like the servers and rooms you have joined to come up next time you start xchat?
[09:03] <ciphersson1> us there a way to check?
[09:03] <tensorpudding> venkatesh_: try man 3 endian
[09:04] <schinken> Sonne: is there nothing else i can do? i need to install the vmware-view-client, but the version in the repro doesnt have PCoIP support - so i need to install the .dev
[09:04] <Starminn> fedora_newb: Have you asked in #xchat?
[09:04] <fedora_newb> I guess that would be a good start :P didn't know it had its own room, ty
[09:04] <fedora_newb> starminn
[09:04] <SnowmanX11> I need help for LibreOffice.Calc. How can you divide the text within a cell (no wrap) as you do it with MS Office Excel (ALT+Enter)?
[09:05] <Starminn> fedora_newb: Not a problem. Questions abotu XChat are very common around here. I don't use it so I can't help much. If somebody here knows they'll tell you, but usually not many use it
[09:05] <fedora_newb> kk
[09:05] <linux> hello~
[09:05] <venkatesh_> tensorpudding : Thank you for the information...
[09:06] <linux> e..can you speak chinese?
[09:06] <Starminn> !ch | linux
[09:06] <Starminn> Oops
[09:06] <Starminn> !chinese | linux
[09:07] <ericy> linux: What a very good nick you have. Did you register it, yet?
[09:07] <researcher1> I want a text to be floating for each background of Ubuntu.Actually the name of some holy diety
[09:07] <Starminn> ericy: +1 How he managed that I do not know
[09:07] <quietone> After logging out a user got a 'white screen of death', had to reboot and now can't get wifi up. SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
[09:07] <researcher1> I want a text to be floating for each background of Ubuntu.Actually the name of some holy diety. can it be done?
[09:08] <tensorpudding> researcher1: what do you mean by floating text?
[09:08] <Starminn> researcher1: I'd say you'd need to just add the text yourself in GIMP or whatever pleases you. It would be nice if you could make a transparent .gif which is what I think you want to overlay it all, but I don't see it happening
[09:08] <tensorpudding> you can edit the backgrounds to put in text
[09:09] <Diverdude> How is it exactly this groupon works? Is it a place where i can recommend cheap offers to my friends or what is it?
[09:09] <tensorpudding> there's also things which can paint on the background but that's a lot more painful
[09:09] <researcher1> tensorpudding: its the name of a diety writeen as .jpg image which I want to be visible for each  Ubuntu background
[09:09] <linux_> loco
[09:09] <Fripon> hi ! I would like to know if on Ubuntu Lucid, it's possible in KDM to have like in GDM the users who have an account in order to only click on the nickname and supply the password (because in KDM you have to type the entire nickname) ?
[09:09] <quietone> rfkill list shows wifi is hard and soft locked. unblock does not change that. there is no external switch on this machine
[09:09] <iceroot> Fripon: you can use gdm for kde if you want
[09:09] <Fripon> hoo?
[09:10] <linux__> I can not understdand
[09:10] <Starminn> researcher1: You want it to be a single image which automatically applies to all of them, right?
[09:11] <Starminn> researcher1: OR do you have just one background in particular in mind?
[09:11] <Gartral> Diverdude: severly OT
[09:11] <researcher1> STarminn:YES
[09:11] <researcher1> Starminn:I want same image to be applied to all backgrounds
[09:12] <Starminn> researcher1: Okay. While I'm sure there's probably some way to set the background control file (wherever that is) to load two images with one being dynamic and the other static, I wouldn't knnow where to even find it, hat to do with it once I have it, or if it will even work. Your best bet (and possibly only bet) is to just make a background with the text you want there as a separate file.
[09:13] <Starminn> researcher1: I like what you're trying to do, and if you want to try my earlier suggestion go for it as I see that as the only possible "hope" but I really wouldn't know what to tell you.
[09:13] <Diverdude> Gartral, come on, its ok
[09:13] <researcher1> Starminn:But I will have to edit each background and save it?
[09:14] <Starminn> Diverdude: Why is it that every time I'm on here somebody's lecturing you for being off-topic?
[09:14] <Starminn> researcher1: Yes. So, for example, open it up in GIMP and just add a text box there, save it as a different name (so you save the original) and set it as your background.
[09:14] <researcher1> Starminn:ok .workable idea.thanks
[09:15] <Diverdude> Starminn, Maybe you are just completely out of touch with reality mate
[09:15] <quietone> I've been trying what I can find in the forums. But still no wifi.
[09:16] <Starminn> researcher1: Sure thing. By the way, not sure if you know this or not, but backgrounds don't have to be in /usr/share/backgrounds to work. They can be anywhere. So to prevent accidentally overwriting stuff I'd save it in /home/yourUSERNAME/somewhere
[09:16] <ericy> fedora_newb: I am using XChat 2.8.8.  I will tell you that you can configure any servers and multiple channels to automatically open.
[09:16] <Starminn> Diverdude: In soviet Russia, reality touch you.
[09:16] <researcher1> starminn:OK
[09:16] <Starminn> :)
[09:16] <quietone> anyone able to help get wifi working?
[09:16] <Starminn> researcher1: Glad to help.
[09:17] <Starminn> !wifi | quietone
[09:17] <Gartral> Starminn: +1
[09:18] <Starminn> :)
[09:19] <Michael-farsight> hi everyong
[09:19] <Michael-farsight> everyone
[09:19] <ericy> Michael-farsight: Hello.
[09:19] <ville5> #ubuntu
[09:20] <linuxuz3r> hello guys
[09:20] <Michael-farsight> hi,i am new to ubuntu, how about you?
[09:20] <ericy> linuxuz3r: Hello.
[09:20] <linuxuz3r> im intermediate
[09:20] <linuxuz3r> hi ericy
[09:21] <ericy> Michael-farsight: I've been using it for 2 years, (after Windows XP).
[09:21] <linux__> what ?
[09:21] <ericy> linuxuz3r: Hello.
[09:21] <linux__> hello
[09:22] <ericy> linux__: Hello, do you have a problem.?
[09:22] <quietone> Starminn, thx but I've tried what I see and I don't see my error msg
[09:22] <ericy> linux__: Or a question?
[09:23] <linux__> ^_^
[09:23] <chaochao> :-)
[09:23] <ericy> linux__: Which Ubuntu do you use? I use 10.10 on a (junk) Acer notebook.
[09:23] <chaochao> i have a question
[09:25] <ericy> OK, you 3 nicks just listen, while the rest of us debug and troubleshoot 'real' problems.
[09:25] <Starminn> quuietone: I have no experience with Wi-Fi. The bot call usually solves the problem. Sorry.
[09:25] <ericy> chaochao: What?
[09:27] <chaochao> can you tell me how to use 'apt-get',i am a student.
[09:27] <amj> hi
[09:27] <ericy> chaochao: Student of what?
[09:27] <quietone> Starminn, thx for the reply, I got it working. I stopped listening to the user (told me there was no switch) and found the switch.
[09:28] <RubenAlonzo> Greetings Everyone.
[09:28] <johan^izi> chaochao, open a console and type: apt-get
[09:28] <ericy> chaochao: First do: sudo apt-get update
[09:28] <alk> Student of life
[09:28] <quietone> good night all
[09:28] <alk> johan^izi: nice concise instructions there ;)
[09:28] <johan^izi> alk, ;)
[09:28] <isbric_> Somthing in x is causing me packet loss every 10 minutes lasting 30-60 sec, from console im not experiancing any packetloss, wat can i do to norrow this problem down even more?
[09:29] <ericy> chaochao: Then to install say firefox: sudo apt-get install firefox
[09:29] <ericy> quietone: Good night.
[09:30] <Quintin> any tips on how to make ubuntu not so slow and craptastic?
[09:30] <ericy> RubenAlonzo: Hello.
[09:30] <Quintin> machine in question is PIII 1ghz 640mb ram
[09:31] <linuxuz3r> well ubuntu is not slow
[09:31] <Quintin> uhm
[09:31] <DJones> Quintin: I would be tempted to use something like xubuntu or lubuntu rather than ubuntu, they're less memory intensive
[09:31] <Quintin> yes, yes it is.
[09:31] <DJones> !nickspam | H_i_t_l_e_r
[09:32] <chaochao> thanks
[09:32] <chaochao> i know it a little.
[09:33] <Quintin> linuxuz3r: windows xp UI is a billion times faster
[09:33]  * Gnea looks at Quintin
[09:33] <Quintin> ?
[09:33] <overclucker> lubintu might be able to handle your 1gz
[09:33] <overclucker> *lubuntu
[09:34] <Gnea> Quintin: okay, just saw your original question - yeah, don't use Ubuntu on such a slow system, heh, try Xubuntu or Elivecd
[09:34] <Quintin> not mine, mom's bf's. :P
[09:34] <overclucker> ah
[09:34] <Quintin> my pee cee is pretty fast-ish.
[09:34] <Quintin> also if you coul dmake the tv out work, that would be grand
[09:34] <linuxuz3r> Quintin, really
[09:34] <Quintin> when I try tvout, everything goes to shit
[09:34] <linuxuz3r> windows 2000 is much better than xp
[09:34] <Gnea> Quintin: making the tv-out work is up to you
[09:34] <Quintin> linuxuz3r: "better"?  no, not really
[09:34] <DJones> Quintin: If you could upgrade the memory, that would probably make a big difference as well
[09:35] <Gnea> #windows for windows talk
[09:35] <Quintin> DJones: yea, I'll ask around for antoher 512m dimm I guess
[09:35] <Quintin> sodimm*
[09:35] <Quintin> oh boy, irc nazis
[09:35] <ericy> Does any body have a 'real' question or problem with Ubuntu?
[09:35] <Gnea> !windows | Quintin
[09:36] <Gnea> !guidelines | Quintin
[09:36] <Gnea> Quintin: feel free to comment about it in #freenode if you like
[09:36] <Quintin> whenever I run the tv out, it's like the video accel stops working ... dragging windows around is sloooowww

[09:36] <ana_> hi. I installed Pixum software in Lubuntu but when I try to execute it, appears that error "Failed to execute child process "/ home / ana / Pixum / Pixum" (No such file or directory)"
[09:36] <linuxuz3r> ubuntu is cool
[09:36] <linuxuz3r> its fast
[09:36] <ana_> lubuntu is faster
[09:36] <ana_> :S
[09:37] <linuxuz3r> lubuntu?
[09:37] <ana_> yes
[09:37] <linuxuz3r> what is it
[09:37] <Sonne> !lubuntu
[09:37] <ana_> but horrible installing software
[09:37] <ana_> linux is horrible to install software out repos
[09:38] <ana_> I installed Pixum software in Lubuntu but when I try to execute it, appears that error "Failed to execute child process "/ home / ana / Pixum / Pixum" (No such file or directory)"
[09:38] <ericy> ana_: (I'm running Lubuntu right now.) What is Pixum software?
[09:38] <ana_> any soution?
[09:38] <ana_> ok
[09:38] <demonbell> !grub
[09:38] <ana_> is a photoalbum
[09:38] <demonbell> !grub2
[09:39] <Quintin> hrm... over 200 processes running.  seems very excessive for a desktop
[09:39] <linuxuz3r> hey quintin do you know why ubuntu iso image says amd64
[09:39] <ana_> pixum.com
[09:39] <linuxuz3r> not general x86_64
[09:39] <ericy> ana_: Is Pixum software in the Ubuntu repo?
[09:39] <ana_> I try it in windows without problems
[09:39] <ana_> no
[09:39] <ana_> no repo
[09:40] <linux_wd> HELLO!
[09:40] <ana_> is not possible to install out ubuntu repos?
[09:40] <ana_> I never runs anything not in the repos
[09:40] <ericy> ana_: Is Pixum a windows program that came with your camera or printer?
[09:40] <ana_> nono
[09:40] <ana_> is linux native
[09:40] <ericy> ana_: ok
[09:41] <ana_> http://www.pixum.co.uk/fotobook/download/id/94
[09:41] <ana_> that
[09:41] <Gnea> ana_: usually there's a variant of what you're looking for in the repositories, but if not, you should be able to compile if it comes to that
[09:42] <fedora_newb> Why isn't there OPs in this room? It could really use some for the trolls.
[09:42] <Gnea> fedora_newb: what's the problem?
[09:42] <Quintin> linuxuz3r: hmm?  why?
[09:42] <ghosthn2010> hello
[09:42] <ana_> that software is very near to hofmann
[09:42] <fedora_newb> Gnea, just rude people in chat ;)
[09:42] <linuxuz3r> Quintin, i was just wondering
[09:43] <ana_> others no
[09:43] <Gnea> fedora_newb: no worries :)
[09:43] <AdvoWork> ive got a bit of perl script, im trying to run/pipe a program through, any ideas please? would it just  be cat file.txt | perlcode > outputfile ? i tried that but it didnt appear to do anything
[09:43] <linuxuz3r> in fedora it says x86_64
[09:43] <linuxuz3r> but ubuntu and debian the iso is amd64
[09:43] <Gnea> !amd64
[09:44] <ana_> well
[09:44] <Quintin> well, most compilers produce binaries that are compatible with both architecture.  I think amd was the first to have popular consumer 64 bit cpu, so it might be related to that
[09:44] <ghosthn2010> 17:41:12
[09:44] <ana_> I wait pixum support mail xD
[09:45] <Gnea> ana_: what's the problem you're having, exactly?
[09:46] <overclucker> AdvoWork: you script has to be able to handle sdtin
[09:46] <krishna> chchc
[09:46] <linuxuz3r> any elite hardware geeks here?
[09:47] <linuxuz3r> just wanna chat really
[09:47] <linuxuz3r> lol
[09:47] <Sonne> !social
[09:47] <Gnea> linuxuz3r: try #hardware, thanks
[09:47] <DJones> linuxuz3r: You might be better joining ##hardware to chat about that, or #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:47] <Sonne> gah, i thought there was a !command for this as well :P
[09:47] <krishna> yes
[09:47] <overclucker> s/sdtin/stdin/

[09:48] <K3rl0u4rn> hi people, I'm currently trying to install a subsystem with debootstrap, I wonder if this is possible to use debootstrap + chroot without root access ? does it even make sense ? are there any security issues ?
[09:49] <mirshafie> Hello folks. I've been having some problems with booting Ubuntu since 10.10, the famous "Checking battery state" bit that freezes the boot process. I'm wondering if this check can be removed from the boot sequence, so that I can use Ubuntu?
[09:49] <linuxuz3r> oh guys is there a pattern when ubuntu release is lts
[09:49] <krishna> i need y messenger
[09:49] <krishna> can u help ?
[09:49] <nit-wit> linux, 3years
[09:49] <nit-wit> linuxuz3r, 3 yeras
[09:50] <linuxuz3r> nit-wit, but what release usually are lts
[09:50] <DJones> krishna: Yahoo messenger? You can connect to yahoo accounts for chat using pidgin or empathy, although from memory, they don't support video chat
[09:50] <Gnea> ericy: ah, okay - well we support Ubuntu here, Lubuntu support is in #lubuntu, and from what I can tell, it's just a perl script to install it, so it should "just work" if you type ./install.pl
[09:50] <krishna> can u help ?
[09:50] <Gnea> !lts | linuxuz3r
[09:50] <Gnea> !ask | krishna
[09:51] <linuxuz3r> is the next release of ubuntu LTS?
[09:51] <ana_> yes, y make ./install.pl
[09:51] <Gnea> !11.04
[09:51] <Gnea> linuxuz3r: I would say 'no'
[09:51] <ana_> install ok
[09:51] <DJones> linuxuz3r: I think 12.04 is the next LTS
[09:51] <linuxuz3r> gnea ok
[09:51] <ana_> but program not run
[09:51] <ericy> ana_: It appears that maybe when you installed, You should specify "/home/ana/"  not "/home/ana/Pixum/".
[09:52] <Gnea> ana_: okay, I'm installing it now
[09:52] <ericy> ana_: It appears that maybe when you installed, You should specify "/home/ana/"  not "/home/ana/Pixum/".
[09:52] <linuxuz3r> im dumbfounded every time i see a software with so many features
[09:52] <linuxuz3r> lol
[09:53] <linuxuz3r> !gnome3
[09:53] <ana_> oh
[09:53] <linuxuz3r> is gnome3 gonna be on 11.04
[09:53] <ana_> i try it
[09:53] <ana_> i go to try it sorry xD
[09:53] <Gnea> linuxuz3r: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[09:54] <krishna> hi ..
[09:54] <K3rl0u4rn> anyone could help with this question ? I'm currently trying to install a subsystem with debootstrap, I wonder if this is possible to use debootstrap + chroot without root access ? does it even make sense ? are there any security issues ?
[09:54] <overclucker> AdvoWork: yes, you should be able to pipe that alright. cat file.txt | perlcode > out.txt
[09:54] <Gnea> krishna: talk here, not in PM, thanks.
[09:55] <Gnea> !details | krishna
[09:55] <AdvoWork> overclucker, it doesnt seem to change anything in the file though?

[09:57] <linuxuz3r> i wonder from where the ubuntu funds comes from cause i am just wondering because it seems that it the distro is well maintained and updated
[09:57] <linuxuz3r> if i want to be a developer for ubuntu what channel should i go to
[09:57] <Gnea> vivek200912: not all games are going to work with wine, you might need cedega
[09:57] <linuxuz3r> yeah cedega
[09:58] <linuxuz3r> cool thanks for idea man
[09:58] <K3rl0u4rn> i/join #debian

[09:58] <K3rl0u4rn> sorry
[09:58] <FloodBot1> K3rl0u4rn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:58] <vivek200912> Gnea: what is cedega?
[09:58] <Gnea> !cedega | vivek200912
[09:59] <vivek200912> Gnea: Thanks a lot....!! Have a good day..
[09:59] <Gnea> vivek200912: cheers
[09:59] <eso4g2> Hi!   They use completely different compression routines
[10:04] <Gnea> vivek200912: the latest ought to work
[10:05] <Gnea> ana_: okay good, do you still have the terminal open?
[10:05] <vivek200912> Gnea: can u specify here?
[10:05] <Gnea> vivek200912: whatever the latest is on the website.
[10:05] <ana_> yes
[10:05] <isbric_> Im havving a network problem and i think its related to X, wat can i do to norrow my search of the error?
[10:06] <vivek200912> Gnea: ok, let me check..
[10:06] <Gnea> vivek200912: it's fairly simple and straight-forward.
[10:06] <Baram> network problem related to X?
[10:06] <mirshafie> and by the way, I do not have a laptop, so I don't need Ubuntu to check the battery state. if that helps...
[10:06] <ana_> downloading many archives
[10:06] <Gnea> ana_: now type the following:  cd ~/Pixum
[10:06] <vivek200912> Gnea: Its have cost.
[10:06] <ana_> when finish installation
[10:07] <Gnea> ana_: then:  cd Pixum\ Photo\ Book
[10:07] <Gnea> ana_: yes, after installation is finished
[10:07] <ana_> ok
[10:07] <ana_> thanks for your help
[10:07] <zvacet> vivek200912: you have to pay for cedega
[10:07] <Gnea> vivek200912: yes, it's not free, but it's not expensive. not everything is without cost.
[10:07] <Gnea> vivek200912: ubuntu is free, therefore less cost to play such games shouldn't be a problem.
[10:08] <Gnea> ana_: you're welcome
[10:08] <ana_> Pixum installed, no errors. now say: to run program click on /home/ana/Pixum/Pixum Easy book
[10:08] <vivek200912> Gnea, zvacet: yes, obiviously, and not much prise only $5 per month which is good to buy..
[10:08] <Gnea> ana_: yes, that's the problem.
[10:08] <shlorine> hey, I cant start up xfce4 for some reason =/ xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)
[10:09] <zvacet> vivek200912: so go for it
[10:09] <ana_> :S ???
[10:09] <Gnea> vivek200912: exactly - make sure you check the compatibility list to make sure your game works with it before buying
[10:09] <Gnea> ana_: you have to type:  cd Pixum, then cd Pixum\ Photo\ Book
[10:09] <Gnea> ana_: then type:  ./Pixum\ Photo\ Book
[10:09] <vivek200912> zvacet,Gnea: thanks..
[10:11] <ana_> I don't have Pixum\Photo\book :S
[10:11] <iqpi> ana_: notice the spaces
[10:12] <Gnea> ana_: the \ are to escape spaces on the commandline
[10:12] <ericy> Gnea: ana_: You are making me dizzy with all of those forward slashes, back slashes and spaces!
[10:12] <shlorine> Could anyone help me with something?, I cant get xfce to boot up for some reason
[10:12] <ana_> mmm
[10:12] <ana_> well
[10:12] <Gnea> ericy: feel free to focus on something else :)
[10:12] <iqpi> shlorine: how do you have tried to boot xfce?
[10:12] <ana_> I I'm in terminal in /Pixum
[10:13] <Gnea> ana_: yes, and if you type:  cd Pixum<tab>   where <tab> is the tab key, you'll see why the \ is necessary
[10:13] <shlorine> iqpi just by using the startxfce4 cmd
[10:13] <ana_> sorry I don't understand
[10:14] <ana_> I install it in /home/ana/Pixum
[10:14] <ericy> Gnea: ana_: Well as I said in an earlier post!: Spaces in file and directory names are evil!
[10:14] <Gnea> ericy: that doesn't help solve the problem.
[10:14] <ana_> ericy shut up please
[10:14] <Fuwex> Hi. I need a simple, yet good-looking panel that works with Compiz to only show a taskbar, meaning only open windows. No other buttons. Any suggestions?
[10:14] <Gnea> lol
[10:14] <zvacet> shlorine: why do you want to start from cli
[10:14] <iqpi> perhaps its because you are trying to start it from gnome?
[10:14] <Gnea> ana_: let's just take this step-by-step and it will work, okay?
[10:15] <ana_> ok
[10:15] <ericy> Gnea: rudness
[10:15] <ana_> I reinstall again
[10:15] <Gnea> ericy: enough.
[10:15] <Gnea> ana_: okay
[10:15] <Gnea> ana_: let me know when you are ready
[10:15] <ana_> in install no change anything?
[10:16] <Gnea> ana_: correct.
[10:16] <ericy> Gnea: I'm listening too.
[10:16] <Gnea> ericy: please do.
[10:17] <ana_> now the text is in english :S
[10:19] <Gnea> ana_: okay, can you cd Pixum/Pixum\ Photo\ Book/
[10:21] <ana_> WOW
[10:21] <ana_> now it runs!

[10:24] <Gnea> !natty | j0llyr0tten
[10:24] <ana_> now I try to reinstall spanish version
[10:25] <ana_> is possible any mistake in spanish version :S
[10:25] <ericy> .
[10:25] <ejv> !enter | ana_
[10:25] <ana_> ok sorry
[10:28] <ana_> spanish version not run
[10:28] <erry> Hi
[10:28] <erry> Im trying to update and all im getting is 0% [Waiting for headers]
[10:29] <erry> Quite a while now
[10:29] <et-0nline> hey whats the command line when somebody ssh logs and i want to see what he does on my box
[10:29] <lathan_devers> ana_, try asking at the spanish irc channel #ubuntu-es
[10:30] <ana_> no
[10:30] <ejv> et-0nline: they need to have a screen active, then you'd screen -x
[10:30] <ana_> is a program error
[10:30] <ana_> nothing to do
[10:31] <erry> Is there a problem with the update servers?
[10:31] <ejv> i believe people are having difficulty communicating with you ana_ , you should try asking in the #ubuntu-es channel in your native language. :)
[10:31] <zvacet> erry: try to change server and see if that works
[10:32] <erry> zvacet, is there a way to know which server is the problem?
[10:32] <erry> I use ubuntu.otenet.gr and badgerports.org
[10:33] <zvacet> erry: under ubuntu software center>edit>software repositories change from one you use now to main and see
[10:33] <erry> Where's ubuntu software center?
[10:33] <Neosano> hello guys, I'm going to install ubuntu ON usb. Why can't I simply boot from cd and install it to usb exactly the same way I install ubuntu on my hard drive?
[10:33] <erry> I'm on 10.04 lts
[10:34] <zvacet> erry: under applications
[10:34] <iqpi> Neosano: you can do as you say, i have done it but with debian
[10:34] <erry> Oh that
[10:34] <erry> never used it
[10:34] <linuxuz3r> i saw a xoom tablet today and its something
[10:34] <linuxuz3r> smaller than an ipad
[10:34] <Neosano> iqpi, oh, right. Just wanted to be sure, thanks
[10:35] <iqpi> Neosano: just be sure to select the correct drive
[10:35] <iqpi> and also when you are going to install grub
[10:35] <erry> zvacet, stuill 0% waiting for heeaders
[10:35] <iqpi> install it in the pendrive, and not in other harddisk
[10:36] <zvacet> erry:  sorry I don't know
[10:36] <Neosano> iqpi, OK. uhhmm, more questions came to my mind :)
[10:36] <erry> maybe badgerports is the prob
[10:36] <Neosano> iqpi, is it possible to install more than 1 distrib on a pendrive?
[10:37] <iqpi> Neosano: of course yes
[10:37] <erry> Yep
[10:37] <erry> That was the prob
[10:37] <Neosano> iqpi, and is it possible to resize partitions on the pendrive like I usually do on my hdd?
[10:37] <zvacet> erry:  so you solved it?
[10:37] <iqpi> Neosano: yes, no problem, just make the partitions as if it will be a standart hd
[10:38] <Neosano> iqpi, awesome :O thanks
[10:38] <erry> zvacet, yes ty
[10:38] <erry> :)
[10:38] <azizLIGHTS> how do i make a new user  called 'dropbox'
[10:38] <Ben64> adduser dropbox
[10:38] <zvacet> erry:  glad to hear that  :)
[10:38] <gamemakingdude> Ubuntu is now installing on my 8gb usb.
[10:38] <iqpi> only one thin Neosano
[10:39] <boota2> hello, I can't access webmin form the internet, works from localhost from root
[10:39] <iqpi> Neosano: i dont advice you to use ext3 or ext4
[10:39] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored, did I miss something?
[10:39] <boota2> anyone had experience with it?
[10:39] <Ben64> usb flash drives are really slow, i don't recommend them for an OS
[10:39] <iqpi> Neosano: because of journaling
[10:39] <mirshafie> ok i take it no one here is familiar with the ubuntu boot sequence. bye
[10:39] <Neosano> iqpi, :O
[10:39] <Neosano> iqpi, what should I use then?
[10:40] <azizLIGHTS> how do i become the new user 'dropbox'
[10:40] <Ben64> ext2, still gonna be slow though
[10:40] <iqpi> Neosano: i think ext2 is the best, or parse a option to ext4 to disable journaling, and i dont know how to do that xD
[10:40] <Neosano> Ben64, not for everyday use, of course! but for trying linux out and doing recovery things!
[10:40] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, su dropbox
[10:40] <Sysi> !webmin | boota2
[10:41] <boota2> I have old ubuntu.
[10:41] <boota2> 8.4
[10:41] <Sonne> Neosano, just out of curiosity, why do you want a filesystem without journaling?
[10:41] <neurochrome> Is anyone else getting weird screen artefacts in Ubuntu.  If I have an app open in the foreground I always see either youtube videos or adverts for amazon come through from the background, even when a browser is minimised or closed altogether
[10:41] <neurochrome> the only way to get rid of it is to restart
[10:41] <neurochrome> this is a new problem, started at 10.10
[10:41] <neurochrome> any ideas?
[10:41] <Sonne> neurochrome, few other people are reporting the same issue - it's most probably due to the video drivers
[10:42] <Sysi> Sonne: it's better when using usb drive, less writing to it
[10:42] <Sonne> Sysi, aha
[10:42] <mushrooms> Hi all, I have used ubuntu in the past (like version 6 or something) but gave up, and decided that I would give it another go today with version 10.
[10:42] <neurochrome> Sonne, even switching between metacity/compiz/ emerald/gtk-win-dec doesn;t help
[10:42] <neurochrome> strange
[10:42] <ylmfos> dd
[10:42] <Sonne> neurochrome, those are window managers, not video drivers :P
[10:42] <neurochrome> Sonne, no fix?
[10:42] <neurochrome> Sonne,  yeah I know
[10:42] <Ben64> neurochrome: have you tried disabling hardware accel for flash
[10:42] <Sysi> it's issue with flash
[10:43] <ylmfos> yundao
[10:43] <mushrooms> But I need help setting up my wireless card, more specifically... It doesn't seem to turn 'on' when I boot up
[10:43] <neurochrome> No, I haven't
[10:43] <Sonne> neurochrome, the proprietary flash plugin uses some kind of weird acceleration that causes problems on certain drivers, you might want to try switching to some alternatives
[10:43] <ylmfos> what is this?
[10:43] <Sonne> neurochrome, for example, you  might consider trying the proprietary drivers
[10:43] <Neosano> iqpi, oh, and really, what's wrong with journaling?
[10:43] <neurochrome> There is a way to disable hw accel though, I'll look into it
[10:43] <neurochrome> Sonne, prop drivers for what?
[10:43] <neurochrome> GFX?
[10:43] <neurochrome> already do
[10:43] <Sonne> neurochrome, for your video card
[10:43] <DJones> ylmfos: This a a support channel for the ubuntu operating system
[10:43] <Sonne> ah, nice
[10:43] <olie> hi
[10:43] <Sysi> Neosano: more writing to disc
[10:44] <ylmfos> eeee
[10:44] <iqpi> Neosano: journaling makes many write cycles to the disks to dont loose data in a crash
[10:44] <GeneralK> Just in case there is anyone different around now, I am having an issue where I'm unable to mount a NTFS partition on a drive that has a gpt partition table... it's also connected through a nvidia raid array. Any help would be appreciated
[10:44] <neurochrome> Sonne,  not that I like prop stuff, but I like my gfx with a kick up the ass
[10:44] <Ben64> neurochrome: try disabling hardware accel for flash first :D right click flash vid -> settings -> uncheck box for accel
[10:44] <ylmfos> i m first use it
[10:44] <iqpi> Neosano: so it will destroy your pendrive
[10:44] <Sonne> neurochrome, i know what you mean, i run proprietary drivers as well - but your issue appears often when using the free ones
[10:44] <iqpi> Neosano: because pendrives are designed to support a limit of IO cycles
[10:44] <neurochrome> Ben64, cheers 2sec, I thought there was a cfg file somewhere to switch it on/off
[10:45] <ylmfos> where are u?
[10:45] <Sysi> Ben64: i'd tried that but my settings aren't working either..
[10:45] <mushrooms> when I type in, lshw -C network, and it shows up with an entry "*-network UNCLAIMED" what does this mean?
[10:45] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored, did I miss something?
[10:45] <Neosano> iqpi, oh :O
[10:45] <ericy> Have you seen the channel list.  Do it. Filter it for channels with over 300 users.
[10:45] <Ben64> Sysi: huh? i didn't say anything for you to do?
[10:45] <zvacet> yimfos: do you have any question
[10:46] <Sonne> GeneralK, i'm not familiar with your setup - you might want to try #ubuntu-server however
[10:46] <Sysi> Ben64: throws to adobe website
[10:46] <Neosano> iqpi, hmm.. ok.. but then what's going to happen if I pull my usb out while the system is doing something?
[10:46] <Sysi> Fripon: you could try to ask from #kubuntu
[10:47] <Sysi> Neosano: unclean mount, not good for journalized fs:es either
[10:47] <gazzumatteo> :/quit
[10:47] <azizLIGHTS> how do i give the new user dropbox, ability to read/write my home dir? /home/ubuntu
[10:48] <iqpi> Neosano: i dont know, but the same that if while you are working with the system, you disconnect the hard drive, your system will crash
[10:48] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, you could try adding the dropbox user to your group - but why are you using a dedicated user for dropbox?
[10:48] <iqpi> Neosano: I think it will become freeze
[10:48] <iqpi> and you will cannot do anything, just hardreboot
[10:48] <Fripon> Sysi thx
[10:48] <mushrooms> How do I check if a particular driver in question is bound to a device, and talking to the kernel?
[10:49] <azizLIGHTS> Sonne: because i tried with my own user and it does funny things when i try to share /home/ubuntu to other dropbox users
[10:49] <Sysi> mushrooms: lspci -k
[10:49] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, using a different user won't change anything
[10:49] <Sysi> for a start
[10:49] <Neosano> iqpi, I mean would it broke the filesystem so I'd have to format it?
[10:49] <Sonne> that's the way fuse woks i guess
[10:49] <mushrooms> Sysi: so if it's listed, then a driver should be installed?
[10:50] <fedora_newb> mushrooms, it will list the driver its using
[10:50] <azizLIGHTS> Sonne: it tries to sync /home/ubuntu/.dropbox which has socket files and goes 100% cpu usage, if i exclude it , it deltes it and my db disappears, if i recreate it, and then try to share /home/ubuntu it makes a .dropbpx (Conflicted Copy) dir
[10:50] <azizLIGHTS> Sonne: its funny businmess!
[10:50] <azizLIGHTS> Sonne: im going to isolate the .dropbox dir into a new user, and not share that user's home. and keep my own home safe from that crap and able to be shared
[10:50] <chasis> hi, i need a linux alternative for avisub detector, any help?
[10:50] <mushrooms> fedora_newb: oh ok (sorry I'm not an advanced user.. so...) I'm trying to get my wireless card working with ubuntu :(
[10:50] <death_> ку народ
[10:51] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, that doesn't really look like a good choice, but have fun experimenting :)
[10:51] <fedora_newb> mushrooms, i had trouble with mine as well, however did you try connecting it to a wired connection and then checking for additional drivers with ubuntu online?
[10:51] <DJones> !ru | death_
[10:51] <fedora_newb> mushrooms, it fixed mine right up with that method
[10:52] <azizLIGHTS> so how do i add 'dropbox' to my group?
[10:52] <fedora_newb> mushrooms, system->administration->additional drivers
[10:52] <mushrooms> fedora_newb: yes, i am connected via wire at the moment, and then i connected it to the 'restricted drivers', it said that system doesn't have any..
[10:52] <fedora_newb> oh
[10:52] <iqpi> Neosano: i dont know what will happen
[10:52] <iqpi> but i dont think you will have any problem, but you will loose whatever you have not saved before
[10:52] <fedora_newb> mushrooms, you made sure your wifi is on?
[10:52] <mushrooms> fedora_newb: then... my wireless card is one of those ones where i insert into the PCI slot on my laptop. it won't light up either..
[10:52] <Neosano> ok..
[10:53] <Neosano> and..
[10:53] <azizLIGHTS> !group
[10:53] <azizLIGHTS> !groups
[10:53] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, adduser dropbox ubuntu
[10:53] <chasis> any help with avisub detector for linux?
[10:53] <mushrooms> fedora_newb: ^^;;; actually i don't know how to turn it on in ubuntu..
[10:53] <Sonne> (if that's your username)
[10:53] <zvacet> mushrooms:  read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs and see if it helps
[10:53] <mushrooms> zvacet: yeah i'm reading that at the moment now too
[10:53] <Neosano> iqpi, I want the free space of the pendrive to be shared for all os'es on my pendrive, how to do that?
[10:53] <Sysi> mushrooms: should be bios setting
[10:53] <azizLIGHTS> Sonne what about the permissions of /home/ubuntu dir? do i have to set it
[10:53] <zvacet> mushrooms: ok then
[10:53] <sougata> mushrooms: whats your network card ?
[10:53] <fedora_newb> mushrooms, i would do what zvacet recommended...i am of no help from here, sorry
[10:53] <mushrooms> zvacet: i was trying to figure out if the lshw -C network command meant anything :(
[10:54] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, if anything, chmod g+w
[10:54] <jrn_a> mushrooms, look for the ubuntu netbook versions / it's extra packages
[10:54] <neurochrome> Ben64, the settings is greyed out, and global settings takes me to adobe.com
[10:54] <Sonne> if you wanna write to it, that is
[10:54] <mushrooms> sougata: I have no idea >_< how do i tell? (i don't have the driver disc, nor do i have the original box)
[10:54] <azizLIGHTS> yes
[10:54] <iqpi> Neosano: just make a partition with the free space, and format it to fat32
[10:54] <azizLIGHTS> do i do adduser dropbox ubuntu, as ubuntu or as dropbox user
[10:54] <Sonne> adduser <dropbox user> <your user>
[10:54] <iqpi> then make a fstab rule to mount that partition for example in /pendrive
[10:54] <azizLIGHTS> yes but as who?
[10:54] <sougata> mushrooms: so what was the output for lshw -C network ?
[10:55] <Ben64> neurochrome: try it on a youtube vid?
[10:55] <mushrooms> sougata: hang on i'll paste it in a pastebin
[10:55] <neurochrome> yeah, that's where I am
[10:55] <sougata> mushrooms: cool
[10:55] <Neosano> iqpi, no, I mean..  I don't want to create 2 partitions for 2 different os'es, how can I install them on one? :O
[10:55] <Ben64> neurochrome: well thats grayed for me too... hold on
[10:56] <Neosano> iqpi, simply different root directory?
[10:56] <zvacet> Neosano: you can not install two os on same partition
[10:56] <neurochrome> Ben64, k
[10:56] <iqpi> Neosano: you need at least one partition for each / so, you cannot install 2 systems in one partition
[10:56] <mushrooms> sougata: http://paste.ubuntu.com/582022/
[10:56] <Neosano> that doesn't sound good XD
[10:56] <azizLIGHTS> Sonne: what about files in /home/ubuntu/* shouldnt those be g+w too?
[10:56] <neurochrome> Ben64, think I found the text file to edit /etc/adobe/mms.cfg
[10:57] <iqpi> Neosano: there is a posibilite
[10:57] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, aye most probably
[10:57] <Ben64> neurochrome: :O
[10:57] <neurochrome> Ben64, but it doesn't exist, does flash have hw accel on by default?
[10:57] <iqpi> but you will need to use first a different partition
[10:57] <Ben64> http://ben64.com/panda/test1.html
[10:57] <Ben64> neurochrome: go there, right click, settings :D
[10:58] <neurochrome> Ben64, nice one!
[10:58] <Sysi> best workaround ever
[10:58] <Ben64> worth a shot, i was having problems with accel on
[10:59] <neurochrome> Ben64, the artefacts are still there, but I'll restart to see if it's fixed.... or is there another way to kill the programs running w/o restarting?
[10:59] <sougata> mushrooms: hang on a while
[10:59] <mushrooms> sougata: so i was wondering what "unclaimed" means... and if there were any way of actually enabling the wifi card...
[10:59] <mushrooms> sougata:  ya
[10:59] <iqpi> Neosano: you can first install both systems, in diferent partitions, then from one of the system, as root, you copy the whole root directoy of the other system into a directory of your system. Then when it is entired copied, you can chroot in the new folder, so it will be like using a diferent system into your system.
[10:59] <Ben64> neurochrome: logging out would work, but if it didn't fix it, then that probably won't with a restart either
[10:59] <iqpi> Neosano: and if it works, then destroy the partition
[11:00] <neurochrome> Ben64, brb
[11:00] <Neosano> iqpi, but I remember when installing linux there was an option called root point or smth
[11:00] <iqpi> Neosano: yes, you are right
[11:00] <Ben64> smth?
[11:00] <ninoe> !help
[11:00] <Neosano> something XD
[11:01] <iqpi> but, you first install as many systems as you want in different partitions
[11:01] <Ben64> wow
[11:01] <iqpi> Neosano: and after that
[11:01] <Sysi> Ben64: mine started working when i took acceleration off, thanks
[11:01] <iqpi> Neosano: you have to copy each / of each system into diferent folders of the system you want to have as "master"
[11:02] <iqpi> and then, for using those "client" systems
[11:02] <Ben64> Sysi: cool
[11:02] <iqpi> Neosano:  you can chroot to the folder of the system.
[11:02] <iqpi> Neosano: i don't know if i have explain
[11:03] <sougata> mushrooms: you need acx1xx driver
[11:03] <azizLIGHTS> how do i make it so new files made in /home/ubuntu by ubuntu user are g+w by default upon creation
[11:03] <mushrooms> sougata: oh ok, so what should I do from here?
[11:03] <sougata> mushrooms: just hang on
[11:03] <mushrooms> sougata: no problem
[11:04] <sougata> mushrooms: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers
[11:04] <sougata> mushrooms: we have to match the vendor and the product id
[11:04] <sougata> mushrooms: Then we can get the driver.
[11:05] <mushrooms> sougata: oh ok, so it's that texas instruments one?
[11:05] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored, did I miss something?
[11:06] <Neosano> iqpi, but that would require some more brainfuck with grub :O
[11:06] <Neosano> iqpi, hmm okay thanks!
[11:07] <iqpi> Not really, in fact you wont need grub because you only have to boot one linux, and the others should "boot" from that linux
[11:07] <iqpi> but Neosano thats fucking hard work make the partitions
[11:08] <Neosano> iqpi, >.< ok
[11:08] <Neosano> iqpi, thanks!
[11:08] <gil> Hi all - is anyone here using natty with the gnome3 team ppa?
[11:09] <iqpi> Neosano: np =)
[11:09] <DJones> !natty | gil
[11:09] <gil> thx
[11:09] <mushrooms> sougata: :3 I think i found a fix
[11:10] <sougata> mushrooms: cool
[11:10] <sougata> mushrooms: I guess you need a acx100 driver
[11:10] <azizLIGHTS> any idea on default file perms for any created new files
[11:10] <mushrooms> sougata: D: it didn't work..
[11:10] <sougata> mushrooms: so what did you install
[11:11] <mushrooms> sougata: i did a search to see if i can find *-network UNCLAIMED, there was a forum entry that suggests i do a sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty
[11:11] <sougata> mushrooms: yes :-)
[11:11] <mushrooms> sougata: but it didn't work.. i got this message D: E: Unable to locate package linux-backports-modules-jaunty
[11:11] <rizzuh> where are the GTK themes stored?
[11:12] <Sysi> rizzuh: /usr/share/themes/ or ~/.themes/
[11:13] <mushrooms> sougata: did i do something wrong with that :C
[11:13] <sougata> mushrooms: that is not there in your apt list
[11:14] <sougata> mushrooms: what version of ubuntu are you using
[11:14] <mushrooms> sougata: the latest one, i grabbed it like 3 days ago. so that makes it 10.10?
[11:15] <sougata> mushrooms: ok.you can see that using cat /etc/lsb-release
[11:16] <sougata> mushrooms: so why would you like to install backport for jaunty ? . I am not quit sure about this.
[11:16] <mushrooms> sougata: someone suggested this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1314693
[11:16] <EClaesson> Hi, i'm having some problems with bash scripts. I have a very simple script with two lines, including #/bin/bash. Then i cd to the directory where it is and type ./filename.sh Then it says command not found. I tried with sudo as well
[11:16] <sougata> mushrooms: what I assume that your wifi should work with acx100 driver
[11:17] <EClaesson> Nevermind
[11:17] <EClaesson> Forgot to chmod to +x
[11:18] <mushrooms> sougata: so, even if my listing says acx 111 i should still go with the acx 100?
[11:18] <DavidB> Hi all
[11:18] <DavidB> I have a File sharing problem on our Ubuntu File Server can someone please help me out?
[11:19] <MrBushido> does anybody know where I can find the philosphy behind ubuntu/apt's directory structure? Some of the guides I'm learning from think things are in places to where they are on ubuntu
[11:19] <mman> how to move a directory to a place and keep the same rights
[11:19] <Quintin> how the hell do I get X zap back?
[11:19] <mushrooms> sougata: it says if i get the backports, the driver should become available :D
[11:19] <sougata> mushrooms: what I know there are some debian source availabe for acx100
[11:20] <sougata> mushrooms: http://askubuntu.com/questions/12269/problem-with-texas-instruments-acx-100-22mbps-wireless-interface
[11:20] <mman> lets say: mv  file  file.bak      which argument do i have to use so that file.bak has the same rigts (rwx for example)
[11:20] <mushrooms> sougata: >_< I'm a newb tho.. so probably won't know what to do with them...

[11:20] <rizzuh> I've installed oxygen-gtk and selected it as the GTK theme with lxappearance. However, GTK apps that run as root (with sudo) still use the crappy Redmond theme. How do I select the oxygen-gtk theme for those as well?
[11:20] <Sysi> mman: shouldn't need any
[11:21] <azizLIGHTS> !umask
[11:21] <mman> sysi, but the ower changes
[11:21] <sougata> mushrooms: Did you read the link, ubuntu does not ships a driver for this hardware
[11:22] <mushrooms> sougata: I suspect that my card is not from texas instruments tho... because it doesn't have any markings on it that says TI... it looks generic to me..
[11:22] <bullgard4> MrBushido: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/: "This page is the home of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS)."
[11:22] <mushrooms> sougata: also, it used to work when i was running ubuntu 6 (but i gave up using it)
[11:22] <mushrooms> sougata: so i know drivers exist that runs with ubuntu >_<
[11:22] <sougata> mushrooms: Ahhaaa
[11:23] <Sysi> mman: maybe you'd need to use rsync
[11:23] <sougata> mushrooms: you can try #linux-wireless channel
[11:23] <sougata> mushrooms: I guess some one there can provide you some help
[11:23] <DavidB> I have a File sharing problem on our Ubuntu File Server can someone please help me out?  We have 15 station running Windows Xp and Windows 7 and our File Server running Ubuntu, I configured 3 shares with full access, restarted Samba but some of the stations can not agges the server

[11:27] <symmm> I installed ubuntu via wubi but the keyboard layout is wacked (probably due to the windows locale not being english originally)
[11:27] <symmm> e.g. I try to enter a colon and end up with a +
[11:28] <symmm> is there a keyboard layout selector or somesuch?
[11:29] <Sysi> of course (but i don't remember where, check menu)

[11:33] <sougata> mushrooms: yes, they will reply hang on. Most of them are upstream developers
[11:33] <sougata> mushrooms: You can get it working with ndiswrapper

[11:34] <HyperHoRse> everyday
[11:34] <mushrooms> sougata: i thought ndsiwrapper requires that i have like a windows version of that driver
[11:34] <mushrooms> sougata: im going to give that 'backports' method a crack, and see how i go lol
[11:36] <Sysi> HyperHoRse: you have ran apt-get update?
[11:36] <HyperHoRse> yes but it always spits a message saying i need to run it twice
[11:36] <HyperHoRse> sometimes even 3 times
[11:36] <HyperHoRse> every time. i do one it says run it again.
[11:36] <HyperHoRse> eventually it stops
[11:36] <HyperHoRse> but its weird.
[11:37] <Sysi> try dpkg --configure -a

[12:03] <mtlife> anyone knows how to get data of a harddrive which does not mount anymore but can still be detected by the bios (smart seems ok)
[12:03] <Fuwex> OK, so does anyone know of a lightweight, yet (hopefully) composite window manager with "good looks"?
[12:04] <mtlife> fluwex: lubuntu?
[12:04] <mtlife> Fuwex
[12:04] <erUSUL> mtlife: do you know why it does not mount? can you see the partitions on the drive? can you pass checks to those partitions' filesystems?
[12:05] <Fuwex> mtlife: I need only the window manager. That's openbox, isn't it?
[12:05] <j_ayen_green> arrrrgh!! the past week or two lucid has been going into some race condition on me. last night it was while using thunderbird. asked it to delete about a dozen imap messages, and the disk took off for about 30 minutes, and then the disk stopped and cpu was pegged and memory way up there. Went to sleep and 7 hours later was the same.
[12:05] <mtlife> Fuwex: i think so...
[12:06] <Fuwex> mtlife: OK, thanks
[12:06] <mtlife> erUSUL: let me see if i can get to the partition table, I know it can read grub... but cantread the init
[12:06] <overclucker> Fuwex: take a look at: http://xwinman.org/
[12:06] <Fuwex> overclucker: thanks - though, is this list updated?
[12:07] <j_ayen_green> mtlife, for what it's worth...I've had to abort a few times recently which left the volume not being usable for init...I found that booting from riplinux let me do a fsck -y every time and fix it.
[12:08] <osse> overclucker, thanks! That will work nicely
[12:09] <mtlife> erUSUL: partition table is there, what do you mean by passing checks to the tables?
[12:09] <Laurenceb_> hi, im trying to setup gcc for xscale
[12:10] <mtlife> j_ayen_green: im in lubuntu livedisk right now, think fsck -y works?
[12:10] <Laurenceb_> anyone know how to install it?
[12:10] <overclucker> Fuwex: not sure how updated it is, but it's got all teh big names, and a comprehensive list of you click others
[12:10] <j_ayen_green> mtlife: i could not do it from ubuntu, because gnome would try to mount and leave the disk showing as mounted when it failed, and fsck wouldn't run
[12:10] <j_ayen_green> hence using riplinux
[12:10] <Pici> Laurenceb_: installing the build-essential package should get everything setup for compiling software (minus any specific build-dependencies that packages have)
[12:10] <Kre10s> anyone using sfl-phone ?
[12:10] <Laurenceb_> ah ok
[12:10] <Fuwex> overclucker: enlightenment looks promising. will check it out :)
[12:11] <Kre10s> I can't get contacts to work
[12:11] <j_ayen_green> mtlife, that said, when I -could- run fsck -y, it always cleared a few orphaned inodes and all was well
[12:11] <Kre10s> I've configures it, but they don't show up...
[12:12] <fizy[laptop]> how do i enable the ctrl-alt-backspace shortcut for the logon screen in 10.04? and yes, it is neccessary
[12:12] <mtlife> j_ayen_green: problem is, the mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ hangs..
[12:12] <rr0hit> Fuwex: take a look at bodhilinux. A quite good distro that ships enlightenment
[12:13] <jrib> !dontzap | fizy[laptop]
[12:13] <j_ayen_green> mtlife: ah, that's different than in my case
[12:13] <Fuwex> rr0hit, actually, I only need a window manager, but thanks. Just need one to bundle with an application I'm working on
[12:13] <mtlife> j_ayen_green: lemme reboot and check if i can run fsck
[12:13] <fizy[laptop]> jrib i enabled it for my account, i just need to enable it for the login screen
[12:13] <mtlife> j_ayen_green: will take a while, booting in usb 1.1 legacy :(
[12:13] <erUSUL> mtlife: fsck the filesystems... gparted can do it from a livecd
[12:13] <Pici> fizy[laptop]: Then you'll probably need to follow the steps outlined on that page for modifying xorg.conf
[12:14] <mtlife> erUSUL: fsck -y ?
[12:14] <Pici> fizy[laptop]: If the file doesn't exist, you can create it and xorg should honor its contents.
[12:14] <fizy[laptop]> Pici: i can view webpages right now. im in a virtual terminal. my graphics card is being pissy today, so i abandoned the x server
[12:14] <fizy[laptop]> cant*

[12:15] <jrib> fizy[laptop]: w3m https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap
[12:15] <erUSUL> mtlife: i do not know for sure what options gparted uses... if you want to do it from command lne i recommend reading the e2fsck man page
[12:15] <Pici> fizy[laptop]: You can use w3m to browse webpages on your terminal, it should be installed by default.  Its a multi-line setting.
[12:16] <Laurenceb_> http://pastebin.com/zHW4irBW
[12:16] <mtlife> erUSUL: ok i will run gparted first..
[12:16] <fizy[laptop]> pici how do i launch the page with w3m? is is indeed installed
[12:16] <fizy[laptop]> it is*
[12:16] <Laurenceb_> that script gives me : command not found ++ $'\r': command not found
[12:16] <Pici> fizy[laptop]: see jrib's message
[12:16] <Laurenceb_> why?
[12:16] <mbnoimi> where can I find man pages directory?
[12:16] <fizy[laptop]> ah
[12:17] <Pici> mbnoimi: /usr/share/man/
[12:17] <mbnoimi> Pici: thanks
[12:17] <Pici> mbnoimi: If you're searching for a particular manpage 'apropos' is usually useful.
[12:18] <Smiley> cpan modules, use them or not?
[12:18] <Smiley> as I know some distros frown upon then?
[12:18] <Dave105> and i thought i could find support here!!!
[12:18] <Smiley> Dave105: dont be silly, your using ubuntu.
[12:18] <bazhang> Dave105, for what
[12:18] <Pici> Smiley: Please don't.
[12:18] <Smiley> Sorry >_<
[12:19] <mbnoimi> Pici: are you sure /usr/share/man/ has all man pages of my ubuntu?
[12:19] <Dave105> im new to ubuntu and im having some problems installing my belkin wireless adapter which is not supported by ubuntu by default but its possible to get it to work. but im having some problems. any help would be appreciated?!!
[12:19] <bazhang> Dave105, whats the chipset
[12:19] <Dave105> Realtek RTL8192SU?!!
[12:20] <Dave105> if its that what u mean!
[12:20] <Pici> mbnoimi: Check out the contents /etc/manpath.config for additional configurations.
[12:20] <Dave105> as i said im new to all this
[12:20] <overclucker> Laurenceb_: you might want to add #!/bin/bash as the first line.

[12:22] <Dave105> its a belkin f5d8053. and btw i did look into ndiswrapper and it appears on the network list but it says its disconnected! i dont understand
[12:22] <j_ayen_green> no one has heard of this... the system being pegged for hours after disk being pegged, with no apparent reason?  it's killing me...never know when I'll have to kill it and lose what I'd had open

[12:23] <inveratulo> Dave105: maybe tail your /var/log/messages to make sure it is being recognized when plugged in?
[12:23] <overclucker> Laurenceb_: ^M is a bad character.
[12:23] <Laurenceb_> hmm odd
[12:24] <overclucker> Laurenceb_: are you using a windows editor on the script?
[12:24] <Laurenceb_> no, but its from a windows system
[12:24] <Dave105> inveratulo:

[12:30] <confoocious> Hello. I can't mount my Motorola L9(on storage) mode via USB. The phone shows up fine as /dev/sdb when plugged in. But it says unknown device, unable to mount when I try to mount it.
[12:30] <confoocious> What2does?
[12:31] <plouffe> !tablet
[12:32] <lampe2> hallo when i start ubuntu and after login i must type in 4 times the key password can some one help me to fix this?
[12:34] <geirha> lampe2: That probably means you are typing the keyring password wrong three times, so it falls back to ask you the password for your wireless network instead, which is the password you just typed three times.
[12:35] <lampe2> geirha,  no i type it right and i dont even got wlan iam on kabel ;) it tested it now 5 times when i start ubnutu
[12:36] <geirha> lampe2: Hm. I see. Not sure then. If you don't have too many passwords stored in your keyring, I'd consider wiping it and create a new keyring.
[12:37] <geirha> lampe2: I'm not on an Ubuntu machine atm, but you'd go to System -> Preferences -> Encryption keys and passwords (IIRC) to do that.
[12:38] <lampe2> geirha, iam there and i got there 7 entries some for ubuntu one and gwibber and gmail can i delte them?
[12:39] <geirha> lampe2: Well, I hope you remember the passwords for those?
[12:39] <Dave105> ok i was trying to follow that guide BUT both download links are broken. so obviously i cant do anything with it!
[12:39] <lampe2> yes i do ;)
[12:39] <Dave105> any ideas?
[12:39] <lampe2> geirha,  yes i remeber all of them ;)
[12:39] <lampe2> geirha, so i can just delete them?
[12:40] <geirha> lampe2: Then it shouldn't be dangerous. If you remove the keyring, and create a new, default one,  you'll have to add those passwords again, one by one of course.

[12:40] <Abhijit> hi
[12:40] <Abhijit> help. how to add .bin executable application to application menu/
[12:40] <Abhijit> ?
[12:40] <Dave105> ubuntu is detecting it. but for some reason its not working
[12:41] <Neosano> Hello guys. Still can't believe there's no solution for this: I have a USB flash drive and I'd like to install several linux distributions on it, the problem is that I don't want to use fixed size partitions because my pen drive isn't so big and I don't want the space to be wasted on another partition (and I don't want to resize them from time to time). Is there any way to install everything on one partition? Maybe there's something like a
[12:41] <Neosano>  virtual file system? Or anything else?
[12:41] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522815 Dave105
[12:41] <ruan> Abhijit: i think you'll need to make a small bash script for that
[12:41] <ruan> not sure
[12:42] <Neosano> Abhijit try menu editor?
[12:42] <Ploploploop> Hello all . I have an interesting porblem.  When the computer finish his boot, he won't show the space to enter my password. But here is he trick. If I try ctrl alt F1, the screen shut. If I try to boot in safe mode, the computer cracsh after loading the usb port and an live usb start fail with getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (
[12:42] <Ploploploop> 0). I checked the md5sum of he iso and it's good, beside the problems started after I did he first upgrade, not right after the installation. Dos someone have an idea?
[12:42] <Abhijit> Neosano, yes. it added menu entry. but that application dont run when click on it
[12:42] <Dave105> thanks bazhang looks legit that link. going to try it now
[12:42] <Abhijit> ruan, hmm
[12:42] <bazhang> Abhijit, what package
[12:42] <inveratulo> you can trust bazhang's links... mostly
[12:43] <Abhijit> bazhang, eternal land game
[12:43] <lampe2> geirha, thx for help
[12:43] <ruan> Abhijit: ./file.bin, add it to main menu
[12:43] <Neosano> Ploploploop, have you tried ctrl+alt+F1 to get the console?
[12:43] <Abhijit> bazhang, i need to go to terminal and to ./game.bin then only it run. it dont run from menu entry. that entry i added manualy ru
[12:43] <Abhijit> ruan, ^^
[12:44] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: So you are unable to boot into live USB?  Can you use a live CD instead to get into it?
[12:44] <ruan> Abhijit: use a bash script to do ./game.bin
[12:44] <ruan> Abhijit: and add that script to main menu
[12:44] <Abhijit> ohhh
[12:44] <Abhijit> ok
[12:45] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EternalLands#The%20quick%20way%20-%20Install%20Ubuntu%20packages%20using%20an%20install%20program Abhijit
[12:45] <bazhang> Abhijit, just use the ppa
[12:45] <Abhijit> bazhang, ok
[12:45] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: After boot, you can also try alt-sysrq-k to try to get back to a console.  it should kill the x server.  You may have to do the ctrl-alt-f1 first to get to a console (even if it appears blank), then do the alt-sysrq-k.
[12:46] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EternalLands  <--- Abhijit from this link
[12:47] <Abhijit> yeah
[12:49] <Ploploploop> [segfault],  what is sysrq?
[12:49] <Ploploploop> suprr?
[12:49] <bazhang> Ploploploop, the prntscrn button usually
[12:49] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: if not so marked on your keyboard, it would also be the same key as print-screen
[12:50] <Dave105> bazhang http://paste.ubuntu.com/582071/
[12:50] <Dave105> bazhang its weird mate!! :(
[12:50] <Ploploploop> [segfault], it crashed
[12:51] <bazhang> Dave105, looks like you have two wireless nics there
[12:51] <Ploploploop> I have a few with point on scrren , and the cursor, frozen
[12:51] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: can you boot off of a live CD instead, so that you can repair things?
[12:52] <Dave105> bazhang. yes im using my brothers because mines not working. mine is wlan1
[12:52] <Ploploploop> I tried that (liveusb as I have no cddrive) and I got  getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (
[12:52] <Ploploploop>  0)
[12:53] <Dave105> bazhang the other one was easy to install
[12:53] <Ploploploop> any other idea?
[12:53] <bazhang> Dave105, why not continue to use it then
[12:54] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: hmm..well, since you already checked the MD5 checksum, the USB image seems good... maybe you are experiencing a hardware issue?  You might check your bios settings and refresh them for starters, maybe reseat the ram, check connections.
[12:55] <Dave105> bazhang because my brothers needs it a lot. because he travels a lot. i used ubuntu before but i decided to give it a go again, but with this adapter im not having any luck
[12:55] <bazhang> Dave105, well there are lots of fixes for it in the ubuntu forums, but they do involve some compiling and such.
[12:56] <bazhang> Dave105, its simply not  a  well supported card at all
[12:56] <Ploploploop> [segfault],  Yeah...
[12:56] <EClaesson> A little newbie question. In windows you can use "start programname" to lauch the program but not in the current terminal. How do i do this in ubuntu? I.e i start emacs from terminal but i can continue using that same terminal window
[12:57] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: btw, which version of Ubuntu is on the USB?
[12:57] <Ploploploop> 10.10
[12:57] <ruan> EClaesson: use "screen" to run multiple programs at once on a terminal?
[12:57] <ruan> EClaesson: or use tabs
[12:58] <Ploploploop> [segfault], the latest 10.10
[12:58] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: yeah, hmm.  well I thought it might be related to an earlier bug in Lucid..:(
[12:58] <ruan> EClaesson: to start emacs just type "emacs"
[12:58] <XLR8> Guys... I'm new to ubuntu. just trashed my windows pc
[12:59] <ruan> welcome XLR8
[12:59] <Dave105> bazhang im aware of that :\ ill keep looking :)
[12:59] <XLR8> Thans RUAN
[12:59] <Ploploploop> [segfault], one possible problem could be that I have a wifi n card, or usb3 ports, as well as esata
[12:59] <EClaesson> ruan: I know that i can type emacs. But then that terminal is used by emacs, so i can't continue using it. I want to be able to lauch emacs just as if i clicked its icon. (I'm to lazy to click..)
[12:59] <ruan> EClaesson: yeah, so open a new terminal tab
[13:00] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: well, I suppose, but the latest kernel should be supporting all of that, and at least not die like that if it doesn't for some reason.
[13:00] <ruan> EClaesson: file > open tab
[13:00] <[eXception]> hi, when I enter into my /etc/syslog.conf following lines:  *.*;auth,authpriv.none;local0.none      -/var/log/syslog , local0.* /var/log/php.log ... it still keeps logging into:  /var/log/syslog... why is that?
[13:00] <ruan> EClaesson: in a console(real console) one would use "screen"
[13:01] <EClaesson> ruan, ok thanks a lot
[13:01] <kim_> hello can any 1 help me please i am having trouble with a laptop that wont boot from cd
[13:02] <bazhang> kim_, how old is it, will it boot from usb
[13:02] <XLR8> name & make please Kim_
[13:02] <XLR8> Name please kim_
[13:02] <ruan> kim_: why won't it boot? does it give an error or does it not boot at all?
[13:02] <XLR8> I mean laptop name & make
[13:02] <bazhang> kim_, if it will boot from usb then try burning iso to usb stick using unetbootin
[13:03] <ChipHome> Hi everyone!
[13:03] <XLR8> Like: bazhang :)
[13:03] <kim_> no is very old i have install grub for dos but can not seem to get the commands right to make it boot from cd
[13:03] <bazhang> kim_, how much ram
[13:04] <ChipHome> Need help with support for a HP Mini 210 1020sl netbook: cannot get the synaptics 7.4 clickpad to work...
[13:04] <ruan> kim_: hmm.. does it have a bios?
[13:04] <ChipHome> Also multitouch is not working...
[13:04] <dsnyders> !wireless
[13:04] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: you could always make another bootable USB using a recovery iso like this one - http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?content=TRINITY_RESCUE_KIT____CPR_FOR_YOUR_COMPUTER&front_id=12&lang=en&locale=en
[13:05] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored, did I miss something?
[13:05] <Dave105> bazhang ok mate! i made it
[13:05] <kim_> 256  it did have xp but some one went back to 98
[13:06] <kim_> and yes i made it boot from cd first in the bios
[13:06] <MeanEYE> anyone knows good application I can use with IMAP (GMail specificially)... evolution and thunderbird are slow
[13:07] <bazhang> kim_, did you md5 the iso, burn slowly and do the disk integrity check? is it simply a hardware issue that prevents you from using the cd drive?
[13:07] <airstr1ke> hi. i want to go back to gnome from unity. what's the right way to do that?
[13:08] <kim_> yes idid that and also downloaded the alterit natty narwhale
[13:08] <kim_> even the xp wont boot
[13:09] <kim_> xp cd
[13:09] <XLR8> whats the error kim_?
[13:09] <XLR8> theres some problem with CD rom i guess
[13:11] <kim_> stange thing is partion editor zap disk fires up but becuase there is no oak drives wont do any thing
[13:11] <liminal> hello - im having a problem with halting my system during shutdown .. it hangs during the mounting local file systems because it finds / is busy
[13:12] <liminal> can anyone advise to what might be going on.. and how I find the logs of my shutdown process
[13:13] <kim_> usually error 1 or 17
[13:13] <[segfault]> liminal: you can check /var/log/messages for info on what may be going on.
[13:14] <liminal> i dont see anything from my shutdown process in there
[13:14] <[segfault]> liminal: how about using 'dmesg'?
[13:14] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored when I restart kdm, did I miss something?
[13:14] <liminal> again nothing I can find no logging of the processes anywhere
[13:15] <kim_> i dont know and can not find the commands to  tell it to boot cd in grub for dos
[13:16] <_antant> Ok, I have a samba shared folder. The owner and group named in the permissions are both named 'ant' and the user logging in to the share is a member of 'ant'. If I have directory & create mask = 0774 in my smb.conf should that allow me write access?
[13:16] <kim_> i installed grub for dos via floppy
[13:17] <yujing> hello
[13:17] <_antant> hi

[13:17] <_antant> Got it!

[13:20] <SanterDT> hi

[13:20] <admin_> please speke slowly
[13:21] <bazhang> admin_, ubuntu support question?
[13:21] <admin_> client quit
[13:21] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored when I restart kdm, did I miss something?
[13:22] <admin_> very good
[13:22] <admin_> hhaha
[13:22] <bazhang> admin_, chat is NOT here
[13:22] <SanterDT> Hi How can I watch movies on youtube when i've got Xubuntu :D
[13:22] <aseem> SanterDT,enable the flash plugin.
[13:23] <_antant> bazhang_, hey. How do I hide a samba share from all but one group?
[13:23] <Evanescence> SanterDT: if you have not installed, install it in software-center
[13:24] <_antant> Doesn't have to be bazhang by the way
[13:25] <[segfault]> liminal: just curious, is the system a laptop or desktop?  It appears that some folks fixed that problem by manually turning off their wifi before shutting down.  Just curious if that could narrow things down.  Also, you can try to do ctrl-alt-f7 during shutdown to see if there are messages that will help you before the halt.
[13:27] <liminal> desktop
[13:27] <liminal> wifi
[13:27] <liminal> i dont think its wifi related.
[13:27] <liminal> why does it say / busy?
[13:27] <liminal> when dismounting local file systems
[13:28] <liminal> I think its strange that I get no logs what soever
[13:29] <[segfault]> liminal: yeah, definitely strange... does it happen on reboot or only shutdown?
[13:29] <liminal> reboot works fine.. no problems
[13:30] <[TK]D-Fender> _antant: I don't believe there is a way to make the share selectively visible, but you can restrict access to actually using it.
[13:30] <puneet_> hey guys
[13:30] <puneet_> i am having a little problem with the network connection
[13:31] <puneet_> there was a network connection icon o the right top corner through whiich i was able to see the no. of network connections
[13:31] <bazhang> puneet_, need way more details
[13:31] <bazhang> puneet_, then add it back
[13:32] <puneet_> but last night i tried to connect it to my home wifi.......then it just hanged....and when i restarted the pc...the icon was not there
[13:32] <[segfault]> liminal: compare your shutdown scripts in /etc/rc0.d/ to what you have in rc6.d/ and see if there is something you can find there that is causing the issue.  Just going out on a limb, but it might help you get a handle on the shutdown process.
[13:33] <[segfault]> liminal: rc0.d is shutdown, rc6.d is reboot (i should have clarified that, sry)
[13:34] <[segfault]> liminal: your problem is probably happening in the S40 or S60 scripts
[13:34] <Vaati_> hello
[13:34] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored when I restart kdm, did I miss something?
[13:35] <liminal> s90 halt ?
[13:35] <mtlife> ok
[13:35] <[segfault]> liminal: that would be the last step.. you are having problems with the fs umount
[13:36] <Vaati_> how do I use empathy for voice chat via messenger?
[13:36] <liminal> the reboot doesnt have a halt.. it goes straight to the reboot
[13:36] <mtlife> erUSUL: still here? Gparted seems to hang in checking devices (fdisk gives partition table) and even after reboot fsck -y /dev/sda1 gives status 'device busy' even though its not mounted and im running systemrescuecd
[13:37] <[segfault]> liminal: right, as it should.. just wondering if there is a difference in your S40 and S60 scripts compared to the reboot ones.  If not, then you are right, there is something happening in S90 (halt) that is causing it.
[13:37] <liminal> fs umount?
[13:38] <liminal> how do I use that command during shutdown?
[13:38] <[segfault]> liminal: I was just referring to the S40umountfs and S60umountroot scripts.  Seems like S60 is the one since you are having trouble umounting /
[13:38] <venkatesh_> tensorpudding : Thank you for the information...
[13:38] <venkatesh_> thamk you Tensorpudding , do you have any link which as this information..
[13:39] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[13:39] <mtlife> can anyone help me? I cant mount my /dev/sda1, fdisk says partition table is ok but when mounting the drive the mount command hangs, and even without mount my fsck says device is busy
[13:39] <mtlife> what can possible be wrong?
[13:39] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[13:39] <liminal> sometimes i also get IRQ polling errors showing during shutdown
[13:39] <memorygap0> i don't know if is okay to ask this question on irc. it is possible to have 2 php  version install  on the same machine.i'm using ubuntu10.10
[13:40] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[13:40] <liminal> looking at the halting process im wondering if it could be hardware/monitor related
[13:40] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[13:40] <[segfault]> venkatesh_: it deals with byte order (big-endian, little-endian). if you don't know what that is, you probably don't need to use that command.
[13:41] <[segfault]> liminal: it kinda sounds like it, since you are all up to date, kernelwise.
[13:42] <venkatesh_> hi segfault ! I am analysing a code which consists of the above command , so please can u give the information
[13:42] <erUSUL> mtlife: sorry; launch time around here
[13:42] <venkatesh_> hi segfault ! I am analysing a code which consists of the above command , so please can u give the information
[13:43] <[segfault]> venkatesh_: well you can try 'man le16toh' which should be a close explanation.

[13:44] <rayc> make that wpc54gs version 2
[13:44] <ruan> rayc: did you install those drivers?
[13:44] <j_dalmond> guys, is it possible to add fixed size window button to metacity?
[13:44] <venkatesh_> Thank you .....Segfault for the information.....
[13:44] <erUSUL> mtlife: do you see any error messages about ata or the disks in dmesg ?
[13:44] <slipkid08> Yo
[13:44] <kz3> hey guys, which is the best email client for ubuntu?
[13:45] <slipkid08> Thunderbird
[13:45] <erUSUL> !best | kz3
[13:45] <[eXception]> hi help plz
[13:45] <ShawnRisk> I am confused which file to download when my System ID is: 0x01F5: http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bios-hdrs/ and using this page: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Tech/libsmbios_dellBiosUpdate  Any thoughts?
[13:45] <kz3> thunderbird is not working properly on my pc
[13:45] <slipkid08> Ubuntu comes stock with a pretty good mail client anyway though
[13:46] <j_dalmond> guys, is it possible to add fixed size window button to metacity? so that i could make window sized some fixed way in certain situations, not just maximize?
[13:46] <[segfault]> [eXception]: go ahead and ask your question, all on one line, if possible and someone will help if they know the answer.
[13:46] <[eXception]> when I enter into my /etc/syslog.conf following lines:  *.*;auth,authpriv.none;local0.none      -/var/log/syslog ... it still logs  my local0.*into /var/log/syslog
[13:46] <[eXception]> why can that be?
[13:46] <[eXception]> in the next line I have:  local0.* /var/log/php.log
[13:47] <rayc> wireless help please wpc54gs ver.2 on desktop version of ubuntu 10.10
[13:47] <bazhang> rayc, what chipset
[13:48] <Vaati_> how do I use empathy to voice chat via windows messenger?
[13:48] <mtlife> erUSUL: yes there are quite a bit, lemme see if i can upload them to pastebin
[13:48] <rayc> bcm4318 from lspci under network controller
[13:49] <bazhang> !broadcom | rayc
[13:49] <mindware> hi all, anybody knows what's changed (regarding v4l2 sources) in gst-plugins-good-0.10.27 ?
[13:49] <rayc> thanks bazhand
[13:50] <ChrisGagnon_> Fripon: You might want to try your question in #kubuntu
[13:50] <Fripon> I did but the chan looks dead
[13:51] <[segfault]> [eXception]: are you sure that your system is using syslogd and not rsyslog?  I think the newer Ubuntus use rsyslog, and you will find the default configuration under /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
[13:51] <MK`> It's the main ubuntu channel, so it became so active it overflowed and rolled over to 0 activity.
[13:52] <mtlife> erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/jN6sG3Nt mostly filesystem errors
[13:54] <ShawnRisk> seems no one can help me
[13:54] <Vaati_> how do I use empathy to voice chat with people who are using msn?
[13:55] <mindware> you convince them to use linux/ubuntu/empathy as well :)
[13:55] <Vaati_> lol...
[13:55] <Vaati_> other than that
[13:55] <mindware> don't know...windoze sukz
[13:55] <gobbler> we have 2x 4core CPUs installed but can only run 4 cores for license reasons. Whats is more efficient, 2 cores active per CPU or only one active CPU
[13:56] <drc> Vaati_: If there is no answer here, try IRC room is #empathy on Gimpnet (irc.gimp.org) as it's Empathy's official irc channel
[13:56] <Vaati_> its even worse than your spelling, mindware
[13:56] <erUSUL> mtlife: error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240) <<< looks like sysrescuecd has an older kernel or something ?
[13:56] <Vaati_> ok  thanks, drc
[13:56] <robdig> ShawnRisk: what is your question?
[13:56] <mindware> 2 cores active per cpu
[13:56] <gobbler> mindware: why?
[13:56] <airwork> hi. i'm trying to fix something on boot and i dropped to a shell with networking. i need, however, to run wvdial to connect with my 3g modem so that i can fix some broken packages. how can I run wvdial and still interact with the prompt?
[13:56] <gobbler> mindware: memory bandwidth?
[13:57] <mindware> less stress on  each CPU , so they run cooler and more reliable...(an you can even overclock them a bit..so u can get the best out of this config...
[13:57] <ruan> airwork: use "screen" to create a seperate screen
[13:57] <ruan> airwork: to work with 2 terminals, etc
[13:57] <airwork> thanks
[13:58] <gobbler> mindware: it is a server - power consumption, heat & overclocking are not of concern
[13:58] <ShawnRisk> robdig: I am trying to update my bios on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I tried this wiki: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Tech/libsmbios_dellBiosUpdate but the system id, 0x01F5 is not supported.  Thoughts?
[13:58] <mindware> gobbler: maybe that too...
[13:58] <oCean> gobbler: it's offtopic
[13:58] <ruan> airwork: the only hotkeys i can remember now is ctrl a+n and ctrl a+a
[13:58] <ruan> ^for screen
[13:59] <airwork> there's no way to open anotehr ttyl or whatever it's called and switch around them?
[13:59] <mtlife> erUSUL: using sysrescuecd 2.0.0, so kernel <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:59] <mtlife> erUSUL: i could try to boot in <IP_ADDRESS> which im doing now...
[14:00] <erUSUL> mtlife: nvm then the corruption confused the driver. tried e2fsck with -f ( for force )
[14:00] <Neosano> What is the best size for /boot partition? People on the forums simply say "just make it 100 mb to be sure" but I want to keep it as minimal as possilbe (running from usb)
[14:01] <ruan> airwork: screen is the command to open another screen in the console, and to switch between them
[14:01] <mindware> 60M Neosano
[14:01] <ruan> airwork: screen --help
[14:01] <ShawnRisk> robdig: any thoughts?
[14:01] <popdod> wie kann ich von einer Partition alle Daten zu der anderen kopieren? dabei sollten alle Rechte/SoftLinks beibehalten werden
[14:01] <albert_> Neosano, 50M
[14:01] <mtlife> erUSUL: ok gonna try that...
[14:01] <mtlife> erUSUL: and what launch day do you have?
[14:01] <Neosano> okay.. anyone else to say a lower number?
[14:01] <mindware> Neosano ...to be shure..look at your actual /boot  partition..and see how bit it is... and ad..10 M
[14:01] <oCean> ShawnRisk: how does your question relate to ubuntu?
[14:01] <airwork> ruan: screen is not installed
[14:02] <[segfault]> airwork: couldn't you just log into another virtual terminal?  ctrl-alt-f2, for example? or do you need to stay in the same tty?
[14:02] <qubitar> i have a strange issue regarding python
[14:02] <robdig> ShawnRisk: hmm. after looking at it, sounds like your system has a different bios that the article was written for.
[14:02] <drc> ShawnRisk: Just a thought, but if the System ID is not accepted, maybe Dell restricts BIOS updating with Linux tools to systems they support Linux on?
[14:02] <ShawnRisk> oCean: because I have Ubuntu installed on the machine.
[14:02] <ruan> airwork: install it
[14:02] <ShawnRisk> robdig: yep
[14:02] <oCean> ShawnRisk: your question is still offtopic tough
[14:02] <ruan> airwork: came preinstalled for me though
[14:02] <Neosano> ok thanks
[14:02] <ruan> !info screen
[14:03] <albert_> Neosano, 30M
[14:03] <ShawnRisk> drc: yes but people are trying to work on fixes
[14:03] <[segfault]> airwork: you can also run wvdial in the background with 'vwdial &', then bring it to the foreground with 'fg'
[14:03] <ShawnRisk> oCean: I tried hardware channel with no luck
[14:03] <robdig> ShawnRisk: i did find this link http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/firmware-tools-devel/2008-August/000375.html
[14:03] <mindware> Neosano my /boot has 43 M
[14:03] <qubitar> im working on this python based application. every time i put in my amazon affiliate ID into the code, something changes the number to Canonicals
[14:03] <ShawnRisk> oCean: I will try there again
[14:03] <first_time> hi
[14:03] <airwork> [segfault]: i tried using &, but isn't that limited to gnome-terminal?
[14:03] <ruan> airwork: screen controls i remember
[14:03] <robdig> ShawnRisk: says you can use a disk to update it
[14:03] <High_Priest> mindware, I'd go with 50M
[14:03] <[segfault]> airwork: that is an old standard unix command
[14:03] <Neosano> mindware, mine has 97 mb, but it has a lot of kernels on it :O
[14:03] <erUSUL> mtlife: sorry; typo :) imeant *lunch* time.
[14:04] <Gartral> security.ubuntu.com appears too be down for me.
[14:04] <oCean> ShawnRisk: please do
[14:04] <ruan> airwork: ctrl a +Create, ctrl a +Next, ctrl a+bAck
[14:04] <mindware> I go with 50 M also... I have a few kernels as well..
[14:04] <mtlife> erUSUL: hehe, e2fsck -f /dev/sda1 =  device or resource busy
[14:04] <High_Priest> mindware, sorry, you were not the person who asked :)
[14:04] <mtlife> erUSUL: and its not mounted, clean boot
[14:04] <ShawnRisk> robdig: I will look
[14:04] <erUSUL> mtlife: sudo lsof /dev/sda1
[14:04] <Neosano> yeah I think 50 is ok, thanks
[14:04] <[segfault]> airwork: ruan is right, though.. screen is probably what you really want.  it won't take long to master it.
[14:04] <[eXception]> :q
[14:04] <airwork> ruan: screen simply isn't installed and i can't install it unless i can both connect and run commands
[14:04] <mindware> High_Priest no problem
[14:04] <Gartral> my boot is 100mb, but i keep a lot of custom kernels.
[14:04] <[eXception]> thx segfault!
[14:05] <admin_> no it is not
[14:05] <airwork> i just want to run "wvdial" and "sudo apt-get update"
[14:05] <ruan> wvdial && sudo apt-get update
[14:05] <robdig> ShawnRisk: good luck
[14:05] <ruan> or something like that
[14:05] <[segfault]> [eXception]: so, I take it, that worked? :)
[14:05] <ShawnRisk> robdig: thanks
[14:05] <airwork> ruan: except that that would wait for wvdial to end before running sudo apt-get update
[14:05] <mindware> Gartral , we doubt that he wants a usb flash bootable ubuntu with more that one kernel... :)
[14:05] <ruan> gah, hmm
[14:06] <mtlife> erUSUL: i get nothing ;/
[14:06] <erUSUL> mtlife: indeed
[14:06] <Gartral> mindware: ahh! not unless he plans on keeping one for a specific arch.
[14:06] <airwork> [segfault]: hm, i got it. wvdial & is what i wanted. i just got confused by the stdout stuff
[14:06] <airwork> [segfault]: i assumed it wasn't going to let me type :P
[14:06] <airwork> thanks [segfault] and ruan
[14:06] <mtlife> erUSUL: other ideas?
[14:07] <[segfault]> airwork: that's the whole point of '&'. it works great to start something going and then gives you back control. :)
[14:07] <ruan> ok hes gone.
[14:07] <[segfault]> yep
[14:08] <mindware> Gartral true :) but if that was the case..he would have known how much of a /boot to make... :D
[14:08] <Ziber> What package do I need for do-release-upgrade?
[14:09] <apporc> Hello,everyone .I found that the default permission mode of home derectory for a new user in ubuntu is 755. And anyone else can read it .How can i change this default behaviour?
[14:09] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[14:09] <haxd> afternoon
 i guess so.. it still has some strange behavior.. but I think its my app
[14:09] <mindware> BluesKaj hey!
[14:09] <erUSUL> mtlife: nope :(
[14:09] <first_time> i need very simple ide  for pascal
[14:09] <first_time> i need very simple ide  for pascal&
[14:09] <the_real_dave> @apporc To change for every new user created, or a specific existing user?
[14:09] <first_time> i need very simple ide  for pascal&?
[14:10] <qubitar> mark shuttleworth won't stop reading my e-mails
[14:10] <erUSUL> mtlife: does the partition belong to a raid array or something?
[14:10] <bazhang> first_time, dont repeat
[14:10] <mindware> first_time ...don't push it..!
[14:10] <bazhang> qubitar, wrong channel
[14:10] <apporc> the_real_dave:a new user created
[14:10] <mtlife> erUSUL: no, no raid array. just default ext4 partition.
[14:10] <mindware> first_time google it..
[14:10] <oCean> mindware: now that is never helpful
[14:10] <bazhang> mindware, please never suggest that here
[14:11] <qubitar> google is the devil
[14:11] <first_time> not lazarus something else
[14:11] <qubitar> bing it
[14:11] <apporc> Hello,everyone .I found that the default permission mode of home derectory for a new user in ubuntu is 755. And anyone else can read it .How can i change this default behaviour?
[14:11] <the_real_dave> apporc: Easiest way is to run gksudo nautilus, browse to the directory /home, then right click, change the permissions
[14:11] <overclucker> apporc: you can change the umask in /etc/profile
[14:11] <mindware> oCean , bazhang ok,sorry, but i had to reply the way he deserved...
[14:11] <bazhang> mindware, that is never appropriate here
[14:12] <[segfault]> first_time: how about gedit? it has modes for a lot of languages as a simple ide
[14:12] <apporc> I still found that in other distribution such as redhat suse ,the default permission of a new user's home directory is 700.
[14:12] <apporc> How can that be?
[14:12] <Fripon> I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored when I restart kdm, did I miss something?
[14:12] <the_real_dave> apporc: Right click on the folder, click properties, go to the permissions tab and change it to what you'd like
[14:12] <mindware> first_time ,listen to [segfault] and i'm not kidding
[14:12] <mtlife> erUSUL: Well, if you are out of ideas im gonna post on a forum for some help. Thanks for your time anyway:)
[14:12] <[segfault]> first_time: just open gedit, then go to View/Highlight Mode/Sources/Pascal
[14:12] <overclucker> apporc: or if you don't want it to be global, you can add a .profile to /etc/skel with the umask  you want for new users
[14:13] <apporc> If it is because of the umask of /etc/profile.how to change it .
[14:13] <the_real_dave> apporc: I'm not sure why it's that by default >.>
[14:13] <erUSUL> mtlife: no problem
[14:13] <apporc> I know how to change it manually.but what i care is its default behaviour.
[14:13] <mindware> apporc or get a terminal and write sudo chmod 700 /home
[14:13] <haxd> I opened update manager and it said there was a google chrome stable update so i updated it and now dpkg is frozen/locked and it's stuck at "unpacking replacement google-chrome-stable". Update manager won't close :(
[14:13] <haxd> Anyone know what I can do?
[14:14] <the_real_dave> apporc:Then I'm not sure tbh
[14:14] <apporc> i think the default permission mode of a new users home directory is none of the root's umask value.
[14:14] <oCean> apporc: you could change that in /etc/adduser.conf
[14:14] <mindware> haxd reboot for first
[14:14] <oCean> apporc: see DIR_MODE
[14:14] <Abhijit> haxd, http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/apt-get-how-to-fix-very-broken-packages/
[14:14] <apporc> adduser.conf?
[14:14] <haxd> kill -9 won't even close it!
[14:14] <haxd> wtf
[14:14] <oCean> haxd: mind the language
[14:15] <haxd> sorry I am a programmer
[14:15] <haxd> :P
[14:15] <apporc> Yeah ,i have seen that.
[14:15] <first_time> [segfault]: but gedit don't compiles cod
[14:15] <apporc> oCean:thanks.
[14:15] <agw> salut @ tous !
[14:15] <apporc> thank you all.
[14:15] <[segfault]> first_time: well, you will have to do that, of course with the pascal compiler you are running, but it is a great ide on its own
[14:15] <oCean> !fr > agw
[14:16] <IdleOne> haxd: how long has it been "stuck" ?
[14:16] <agw> ok
[14:16] <qweqweqwe> how can i specify nfs mounts on a laptop that only activate if the network is there?
[14:16] <[segfault]> first_time: if you look under gedit preferences, there is a plugin that you can use to execute external commands from within gedit, so you can just do it that way.
[14:16] <haxd> IdleOne: 20 minutes
[14:17] <Abhijit> haxd, seen the link?
[14:17] <haxd> update manager just quit now
[14:17] <haxd> dpkg is still open though
[14:17] <haxd> Abhijit: does not apply to this
[14:17] <Abhijit> nvm then
[14:17] <haxd> had no errors about "very broken packages"
[14:17] <himani> hello
[14:17] <haxd> dpkg just froze whilst trying to unpack the package by what i can tell
[14:17] <Asad2005> I have a file in my /home named .xsession-errors.old size almost 40 GB can i safely remove this file ?
[14:18] <mindware> Asad2005 safely :)
[14:18] <robdig> first_time: here is a link to opensource ides, includes some for pascal. i've not used them, vim is my favorite. http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/firmware-tools-devel/2008-August/000375.html
[14:18] <oCean> qweqweqwe: see the _netdev option in the manpage of mount command. You can use _netdev in /etc/fstab
[14:18] <[segfault]> Asad2005: wow.. 40gb.. yeah, but fix the problem that is causing all those errors first if you can :)
[14:18] <himani> can anybody tell me how to display the data of hindi database in mysql  in java in ubuntu
[14:19] <haxd> http://paste.ubuntu.com/582106/ < this process is still running after update-manager died
[14:19] <himani> it is stored in mysql normally bt in java it is not showing in hindi
[14:19] <haxd> and won't be killed
[14:19] <haxd> which would be bad anyway
[14:19] <haxd> what can I do?
[14:19] <mindware> haxd ,really...reboot..nothing is perfect...
[14:19] <qweqweqwe> oCean: kind of, but i plug into different networks, i need to know the mount is there, not network in general (close though)
[14:20] <oCean> haxd: nothing but reboot. The D is uninterruptable sleep..
[14:20] <Abhijit> himani, try in #ubuntu-in
[14:20] <oCean> qweqweqwe: I don't think there is an option
[14:20] <haxd> why would it get itself into that situation
[14:20] <Asad2005> mindware: [segfault] i have seen this message a lot in .Xsession-errors file "(Pidgin:2036): Json-CRITICAL **: json_node_get_int: assertion `node != NULL' failed"
[14:20] <himani> what is dis ubuntu-in?
[14:20] <qweqweqwe> oCean: seems crazy to me, nfs has been weird about missing shares for over a decade, and it's still not been addressed
[14:20] <oCean> haxd: it is waiting for another process to finish. That other process is probably waiting for i/o wich will never finish
[14:20] <albert_> #ubuntu-cn
[14:21] <albert_> #ubuntu-tw
[14:21] <oCean> qweqweqwe: I agree, but have no solution there :(
[14:21] <Asad2005> [segfault]: As a start i van delete the file yes?
[14:21] <Asad2005> can
[14:21] <himani> as hindi is Unicode so java is not displaying hindi
[14:21] <mindware> Asad2005 stop using pidgin for now, uninstall it ,update x if you can , and try after that
[14:21] <haxd> sigh
[14:21] <haxd> i will be back
[14:21] <qweqweqwe> oCean: i hate having to admit such to my windows colleagues, that have never had that problem ;-)
[14:22] <rizzuh> Here we ago again. The UI completely froze, nothing, no button works, at ALL. I have the latest updates on 10.10 as of 20 minutes ago.  This has been happening since 10.04. I think I have a bug report open from the time of the 10.04 release.
[14:22] <[segfault]> Asad2005: sure, just copy a bit of the end of it so you have those errors to go from in your search for a fix.
[14:22] <oCean> qweqweqwe: well, you could make it automount
[14:22] <Abhijit> himani, #ubuntu-in is indian ubuntu channel. if someone else have tried the same think as yours they may know about it. also ask in ##linux-india
[14:22] <mindware> Asad2005 yes ,you can safely delete it...it's just a log ..telling you what errors have been reported
[14:23] <Asad2005> [segfault]: Its a back up file i have the same file but not ending with .old which has a 183 kb only
[14:23] <oCean> qweqweqwe: Using autofs, a filesystem is not mounted until the mountpoint is accessed.
[14:23] <himani> so there is no font for this, or you dont know?
[14:23] <[segfault]> Asad2005: if you have .xsession-errors in your home dir and it's small, then you don't have anything to worry about, unless it is all from very recently.
[14:23] <qweqweqwe> oCean: mm i noticed that, thanks, will read up tomorrow.
[14:24] <first_time> [segfault]:thanks
[14:24] <first_time> robdig:thanks
[14:24] <Hedgehog456> !info winetricks
[14:24] <Asad2005> [segfault]: I have delete it and now will keep watching the .Xsession-error file thanks

[14:26] <syn3rgy> Worried about Natty using Wayland to replace the x stack. We have a bunch of Nvidia GTX 460 graphic cards for HD 1080p screens doing 3D work. Will Unity screw up the Nvidia drivers?
[14:26] <bazhang> Neosano, mindware #ubuntu-offtopic please
[14:26] <mindware> Neosano =))
[14:26] <mindware> Neosano sorry, had no ideeea
