[00:00] <kermit> why is it that if i'm using wireless and plug in ethernet, the wireless starts ignoring incoming packets?
[00:00] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: is my computer all gone
[00:00] <xiamx> Skapare, I use livecd and chrooted, bug grub-update do not work
[00:00] <xiamx> But
[00:00] <DragonKeeper> omg its all gone :/
[00:00] <xiamx> Not bug
[00:00] <hihihi100> u, ok
[00:00] <Skapare> xiamx: just look in /boot/grub and see what is there
[00:00] <hihihi100> i deleted a repeated repo
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> intrader_: what video chip are you using?
[00:00] <hihihi100> i still get the failed to download... message
[00:00] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: No. That guide should get both windows and Ubuntu booting again (but you'll need to do some additional steps to prevent this from happening again).
[00:00] <hihihi100> ill keep trying though
[00:01] <mdg2> Hello!  I am trying to troubleshoot bitpim with a Motorola W-315
[00:01] <intrader_> ActionParsnip, where do I find that?
[00:01] <Skapare> xiamx: you should see a file named "grub.cfg" ... but maybe there is a backup (don't know what name it would be)
[00:01] <xiamx> Skapare, what about my initramfs
[00:02] <mdg2> bitpim tells me it sees the /dev/tty/ACM0 port and a USB port that is not active
[00:02] <xiamx> Skapare, I guess thats the make cause of kernel panic
[00:02] <thefatloverboy_> how to install this web cam  Bus 002 Device 002: ID 093a:2460 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100
[00:02] <thefatloverboy_> to be used on skype
[00:02] <intrader_> Neither of the accelerated graphic drivers are activated. That could be the problem.
[00:02] <Jordan_U> DragonKeeper: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" should get most things back. You can also look at the dpkg logs to see exactly what was removed.
[00:02] <mdg2> anyonere here with experience with bitpim?
[00:03] <Fuh-zz> hihihi100: Change the tor repo to use lucid instead of maverick
[00:03] <Skapare> xiamx: if the kernel does not get a usable root device to mount, it will panic, yet ... and if grub.cfg gave a bad device name or UUID, that would do it
[00:03] <Skapare> xiamx: look for maybe "grub.bak" or something like that being left behind
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> intrader_: run: lspci | grep -i vga
[00:03] <DragonKeeper> ok Jordan_
[00:03] <littlebobby> my system freezes whenever I'm booting normally. When booting in recovery mode and starting failsafeX I can normally use it (albeit lacking graphics-acceleration). So I've configured X to use the vesa-driver, as I thought the ati-drivers gave me problems but it still freezes when booted normally. Any Ideas what to check next? I've been hunting this the whole day now and run out of ideas
[00:03] <xiamx> Skapare, ok, I'm in live cd now, I'll try
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: seems to use gspca https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams
[00:04] <Skapare> xiamx: if you see nothing you can manually fix ... and grub.cfg is overly complicated these days ... you might have to try the alternate plan
[00:04] <matelot> what software to use to extract portion of a/v file ?
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: if you install and run cheese, do you see yourself?
[00:04] <shmup> hey action, curious..
[00:04] <shmup> that DUC client you told me about
[00:04] <thefatloverboy_> yes
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> matelot: avidemux
[00:05] <intrader_> ActionParsnip, the command gives "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84M [Quadro FX 570M] (rev a1)"
[00:05] <xiamx> Skapare, is it possible to chroot and grub-update?
[00:05] <shmup> would that do the same thing as me having my router automatically updating my no-ip to the proper IP
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> shmup: try using tab to complete nics
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> !info noip2 | shmup
[00:05] <thefatloverboy_> but not in skype
[00:05] <shmup> ActionParsnip, yeah, I was being lazy. :/
[00:05] <matelot> ActionParsnip:  IS IT gui APP ?
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> shmup: its an extra single key,.....
[00:05] <shmup> Yeah, sorry.
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> matelot: yes
[00:06] <Skapare> xiamx: that's possible, certainly ... worth a try AFTER checking for a backup of grub.cfg
[00:06] <Skapare> xiamx: if you find a backup of grub.cfg ... copy or rename it to something else if you still want to try grub-update first
[00:06] <intrader_> ActionParsnip, I must restart
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> matelot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1119599   at command line too :)
[00:07] <__Steven__> hi there. urgent question: being an idiot i did: chown moya:www-data / -R now i cannot access my server through plesk. what is the original chown for /
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> __Steven__: there is no single chown, its a large variety
[00:08] <matelot> ActionParsnip: thanks
[00:08] <Skapare> __Steven__: depends on the file ... many have different
[00:08] <__Steven__> i did it in root
[00:08] <xiamx> Will someone do me a favor paste bin ur grub.cfg?
[00:09] <Skapare> __Steven__: yup ... and you busted it, too
[00:09] <littlebobby> __Steven__, but you've chosen / with the -R option which means you've changed the ownership of all files on the system
[00:09] <__Steven__> and now? ^^
[00:09] <Skapare> xiamx: don't copy their UUID numbers ... YOURs are different
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> xiamx: sure, http://pastebin.com/ZfMmFjCr
[00:09] <aeon-ltd> xiamx: why? its different for everyone cos of uuids and hdd identifiers copying is useless use the examples
[00:09] <Jordan_U> __Steven__: If you re-install every package it will probably restore *most* of the permissions. But it could also have other side effects.
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> xiamx: the file is generated by grub, I suggest you boot to liveCD, chroot to the installed OS and fix
[00:10] <xiamx> I just need to compared some parameters
[00:10] <__Steven__> well for such cases i would have backups. how can i play a backup when i cannot access plesk?
[00:10] <intrader_> ActionParsnip, I am back, but found a driver not active, but restart again
[00:10] <IdleOne> unitedpotsmokers: can you please join #ubuntu-ops so we can fix this issue of ban evading
[00:10] <Skapare> xiamx: I'm uploading one of mine

[00:12] <thefatloverboy_> This page does not exist yet. You can create a new empty page, or use one of the page templates.
[00:12] <xiamx> Thank you very much
[00:12] <intrader_> ActionParsnip, appears that the 'Additional Drivers' have conflicting drivers . Two of them are fighting.
[00:12] <Skapare> xiamx: this one is for 32-bit ubuntu 10.10
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> intrader_: then remove both drivers and reboot, then install one
[00:14] <intrader> ActionParsnip, on the other machine. I will remove them if I new how, and install? the Additional Drivers gives me two drivers
[00:15] <igor_> Hi everyone, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 (because of WiFi problems with 10.10) and my "Hardware Drivers" tool reports that "no proprietary drivers are in use by this system" and the list is empty. How do I add drivers to it? Everywhere I've read about how to use proprietary drivers said that I should use that tool, find the driver I want and just press activate. Thanks!
[00:16] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: nope mot working
[00:16] <xiamx> Still not getting any chance.. My root= is right, but kernel can't find init
[00:16] <ahs4n> afeter i press repair it again shows up grub rescue
[00:16] <Skapare> xiamx: is init there?
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> igor_: then run:  sudo lshw -C network   and websearch for the product line to find guides
[00:17] <xiamx> Init should be in / right?
[00:17] <Skapare> xiamx: is init there? ... /sbin/init
[00:17] <intrader> ActionParsnip, the 'Additional Drivers' applet lists two, the first (version 173) says that there is another driver in use, the second one is active
[00:17] <igor_> ActionParsnip: will try that in a sec
[00:17] <Skapare> xiamx: what do you have for the root= ??
[00:17] <xiamx> My uuid
[00:17] <xiamx> I checked, its the correct one
[00:18] <thefatloverboy_> how can install this web cam Bus 002 Device 002: ID 093a:2460 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> intrader: then deactivate the driver you have now
[00:18] <xiamx> And I tried to change to /dev/sda2 too which is the equivalent
[00:18] <lemmoner> hi there
[00:18] <Skapare> xiamx: is that uuid in /etc/mtab ?
[00:18] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: will this work http://calamari.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/fixing-a-broken-wubi-grub-after-ubuntu-updates/
[00:18] <LjL> IdleOne: unban the above while you're opped please
[00:18] <joaquin> hola disculpen
[00:18] <xiamx> Init is there
[00:19] <joaquin> alguien sabe como borrar el open jdk
[00:19] <lemmoner> i'm trying to tune dvb-t channels with totem, and the app gots frozen. However I managed to build the config file that should work, but I do not have any idea where this should be stored
[00:19] <lemmoner> any idea?
[00:19] <intrader> ActionParsnip, much better synch - see not difference with Windows Vista. Hurrah! . Thanks, that did the trick.
[00:19] <IdleOne> LjL: done
[00:19] <igor_> ActionParsnip: actually i need nvidia drivers, I know how to install them but they still aren't listed in hardware drivers. and shouldnt it be as easy as pressing activate in hardware drivers?
[00:19] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: What do you mean "after i press repair"? It should not be a button you press but a command you run, specifically "fixmbr".
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> intrader: np bro, the extra files make flash a little nicer, the driver just clinched it nicely
[00:20] <xiamx> Mtab is empty I don't know why
[00:20] <xiamx> And it seems to be modified very very recently
[00:20] <cba123> I'm running Maverick, and I'm trying to get Tor working with Firefox.  Everything I've read says install tor, vidalia, and either privoxy or polipo.  Privoxy connects to tor, and the network, but I can't get Firefox to go through tor.  Any ideas?
[00:20] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: after i press R for repair it again starts to boot
[00:20] <ahs4n> by showing rescue
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> igor_: possibly, depends on the chip
[00:21] <Skapare> xiamx: empty? ... oh, my bad ... check for UUID in /etc/fstab ... BUT ... an empty mtab is a bad sign
[00:21] <DragonKeeper> Jordan_U a few things came back but theres alot missing and alot folders deleted that make the recovered apps start
[00:21] <igor_> ActionParsnip: i expected at least something to be displayed under "hardware drivers" but the list is empty...it baffles me :\
[00:21] <dcraig> after upgrading a personal machine to ubuntu 10.04, networking seems to go idle after about 4 hours, and I have to press a key on the console for the server to be reachable from the outside world... any ideas?
[00:21] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: So you chose "Repair a Windows XP Installation" and it immediately rebooted?
[00:22] <Skapare> xiamx: do this back outside of the chroot ... df /path/where/mounted
[00:22] <xiamx> Skapare, what is the format of mtab, could u paste bin it? Maybe I can try to recover it manually
[00:22] <Skapare> xiamx: you might have a full disk ... that can break things if disk space fills up during a grub update
[00:22] <ahs4n>   Jordan_U, yep
[00:22] <Guest55683> How do I prevent OpenOffice Calc from converting my 12-hour times to 24-hour times?  I set the language to UK English, but it's still converting to 12-hour.
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> igor_: if you have a super whizzy nvidia chip then the 260 chip helps
[00:22] <xiamx> Fstab is good
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> 260 driver
[00:22] <xiamx> Disk isn't full
[00:23] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: That's not what is supposed to happen, it's supposed to bring you to a shell. Is there any error message?
[00:23] <Skapare> xiamx: make sure the UUID for root= in grub.cfg matches the UUID for the root in fstab ... and then check that the real filesystem has that UUID
[00:23] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: no
[00:23] <igor_> ActionParsnip: how do i install it if its not listed in hardware drivers? with synaptic?
[00:24] <JosephUbuntu> How do I prevent OpenOffice Calc from converting my 12-hour times to 24-hour times? I set the language to UK English, but it's still converting to 12-hour.
[00:24] <xiamx> Skapare they match
[00:24] <zero_> 新手
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> igor_: sure, but what video chip are you using?
[00:24] <bazhang> !cn | zero_
[00:24] <igor_> ActionParsnip: its an old integrated card
[00:24] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Does it appear to be intentionally shutting down or does it seem more like a crash?
[00:24] <helplessat> is it possible to mount a solaris partition on ubuntu 10.04?
[00:24] <Skapare> xiamx: look closer during boot for any message from grub or kernel BEFORE that panic ... maybe saying what problem it has first
[00:25] <helplessat> /dev/sda2        16707600    37190474    10241437+  bf  Solaris
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> igor_: ok what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga
[00:25] <JosephUbuntu> Can anyone answer my previous question?
[00:25] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: crash i guess
[00:25] <IdleOne> JosephUbuntu: might try asking in #openoffice.org
[00:25] <xiamx> Skapare, is there any option to make grub or kernel be more verbose?
[00:25] <Dr_Willis> JosephUbuntu:  I would think its an OO setting. not relaetd to the language setting.
[00:25] <JosephUbuntu> IdleOne: thanks
[00:25] <Jack-is> [Own message]
[00:25] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: OK, then your XP recovery CD is broken.
[00:25] <JosephUbuntu> I already tried the languages in OO
[00:26] <lemmoner> Lhola
[00:26] <JosephUbuntu> since 24 is used in the UK, i thought it would work
[00:26] <Dr_Willis> JosephUbuntu:  it may be more of a cell format setting.  Its an intel card :P
[00:27] <DragonKeeper> Dr_Willis   whats difference ?
[00:27] <xiamx> I suspect that my mtab I'd not correct.. It's empty ,and it was modified just before First noticing kernelpaic
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> DragonKeeper: both are great, 10.04 is supported longer
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> igor_: thats why then
[00:27] <IdleOne> JosephUbuntu: I think OO uses system time settings, I would think that is adjustable in the OO settings though
[00:27] <Skapare> xiamx: beware mine may not be what you need
[00:27] <nacitar> is it possible to software raid-1 the "biosgrub" partition?  Trying to setup raid-1 while installing a fresh copy of ubuntu server, but I can't get it to work.  If i use a 1mb sized partition for biosgrub, it doesn't work because raid uses extra space.... if I size that partition larger, it works up until the bootloader installation where grub fails to install.  Also, once I set up my raid-1
[00:27] <nacitar> in the installer, it wont actualy let me choose to specify that raid array as a "reserved bios boot area"... am i missing something, or is it just impossible to software-raid the boot partition?
[00:28] <Skapare> xiamx: I have a separate /boot / swap /home as parts 1 2 3 4
[00:28] <xiamx> I just need the format XD
[00:28] <Skapare> ok
[00:28] <igor_> ActionParsnip: indeed that explains it. I somehow recalled installing nvidia drives when i installed windows...eh must have been on another PC. thanks for the assistance!
[00:28] <Dr_Willis> DragonKeeper:  theres dozens of ubuntu 'news' type sites that detail the changes. If you need LTS go with the older release.. if not try 10.10
[00:28] <Neurotrophin> php code under Ubuntu (no other server I've seen) gives no error with missing semicolons.. just stops with no error or warning or anything...
[00:28] <bazhang> !notes > DragonKeeper
[00:29] <Neurotrophin> This php bug under Ubuntu has existed for a long time now..
[00:29] <igor_> DragonKeeper: I've had WiFi instability issues with 10.10
[00:29] <nacitar> no mdadm guys lurking about?
[00:29] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: getting error: no such partition
[00:30] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: What is the output of "ls"?
[00:30] <DragonKeeper> ok ty     igor_  i use cable
[00:30] <thefatloverboy_> how can i isntall this web cam Bus 002 Device 002: ID 093a:2460 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100
[00:30] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: error: no such partition
[00:30] <Neurotrophin> mother of God.. there's a tutorial on how to file an ubuntu bug.....
[00:30] <ahs4n> the output
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: did cheese work?
[00:31] <Dr_Willis> thefatloverboy_:  plug it in.. install 'cheese' - run cheese.. see if it works.
[00:31] <xiamx> The last error I noticed was fai
[00:31] <xiamx> Failed to excite /init
[00:31] <thefatloverboy_> yes it works
[00:31] <xiamx> Execute
[00:31] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: From just "ls" with no other arguments?
[00:31] <Dr_Willis> thefatloverboy_:  so it works.. :)
[00:31] <JosephUbuntu> no one is responding on #openoffice.org
[00:31] <thefatloverboy_> but i want it in skype
[00:31] <xiamx> Sorry its hard to type on a iPod..
[00:31] <Kog|Work> hm, I apparently broke the Jetty apt package sufficiently that it won't either remove, purge or install... I'm pondering how to fix it
[00:32] <IdleOne> JosephUbuntu: patience :)
[00:32] <Dr_Willis> !skype
[00:32] <thefatloverboy_> it ś be to used in skype
[00:32] <JosephUbuntu> still, how do i fix the issue?
[00:32] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: (hd0)
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: if you read the link I gave it tells you how to make it fly in skype
[00:32] <thefatloverboy_> not just in cheese
[00:32] <thefatloverboy_> no
[00:32] <xiamx> Why is kernel looking for /init, isn't it /sbin/init?
[00:32] <Kog|Work> looks like /etc/init.d/jetty won't start because it can't find start.jar... I wonder if I just grab another deb file and crack it, steal the start.jar it'll work well enough to purge
[00:32] <Dr_Willis> JosephUbuntu:  i would check the OO.org docs/help - it may mention how to do it.  oo.org may have specific forums also.
[00:33] <Moon_Doggy> sup
[00:33] <JosephUbuntu> i'll try it again, then
[00:33] <xiamx> ... I'll try to chroot and soft link /sbin/init to / expecting it will work..
[00:34] <diego> hi
[00:34] <thefatloverboy_> This page does not exist yet. You can create a new empty page, or use one of the page templates.
[00:34] <diego> back to irc, i cannot believe
[00:34] <Moon_Doggy> is there a way for when my machine boots that it auto logins 2 accounts at the same time
[00:34] <Skapare> xiamx: why would it?  kernel looks for init in /sbin/init first
[00:34] <littlebobby> so I've created a thread in the forums regarding my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10141910#post10141910
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=926101   will help up to gspca
[00:34] <xiamx> Skapare, I don't know, I only see kernel looking for it in /
[00:34] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Ok, then you probably won't be able to boot from the grub rescue shell (at least not without a lot of work).
[00:35] <Kog|Work> wow, although apparently start.jar is totally not in the jetty distro
[00:35] <nacitar> Can you software raid-1 your "reserved bios boot area"/"biosgrub" partition, or must that not be raided?
[00:35]  * Kog|Work sighs
[00:35] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Do you have any other bootable media or another computer you can stick the hard drive in to repair it?
[00:35] <JosephUbuntu> OMG!  it IS a cell format issue!
[00:35] <JosephUbuntu> thanks a bunch!
[00:35] <JosephUbuntu> if you go to format>cells, you can fix it
[00:35] <tonama>
[00:35] <Skapare> xiamx: /init might be the last place it looks ... there are 4 places hard coded in kernel source
[00:36] <Skapare> I believe they are /sbin/init /bin/init /etc/init /init
[00:36] <Skapare> try all 4 perhaps
[00:36] <Kog|Work> what a piece of junk
[00:37] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: mine is 10.04 but i have 8.10 live cd
[00:37] <Jordan_U> nacitar: That must be a normal partition, though it should contain the same contents on both drives.
[00:37] <Gerycho> Hei boys se vi dessi le specifiche del mio pc mi sapreste dire perchè non riesco a far partire tutti i jack audio su linux ?
[00:37] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: An 8.10 partition will do.
[00:37] <rofflecoptor> i need some srs help
[00:38] <rofflecoptor> i tried updating from 8.04
[00:38] <Kog|Work> you and everyone else...
[00:38] <Random832> Skapare, it only does /init on an initrd
[00:38] <rofflecoptor> to the latest
[00:38] <nacitar> Jordan_U: can you leverage mdadm to keep the two in sync?  Or do those partitions never really change... such that copying it over once is sufficient?
[00:38] <Random832> http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Reading_the_Linux_Kernel_Sources
[00:38] <rofflecoptor> and my install broke
[00:38] <Skapare> Gerycho: #ubuntu-it
[00:38] <Random832> We can see here that the kernel attempts to start /sbin/init, /etc/init, /bin/init and finally falls back to trying /bin/sh. If we read backwards a little bit we see where the kernel tries to execute whatever program was based via the init= kernel argument by the boot loader (and we can follow the hyperlinks to find where the command line was parsed for such an option). Going back a little furtherj we can see where the kernel tries to start the /i
[00:38] <ThomS_> Why do all Linux window managers feel so cartoon-y!? I'm picking a distro to go back to after a year or so of being forced to use Windows for various reasons and everything looks so ugly. Discuss.
[00:38] <Random832> ThomS_, which ones have you tried?
[00:38] <xiamx> Ah....  Can I reinstall my system? I have /home /usr /var / on diff partitions
[00:38] <IdleOne> !ot | ThomS_
[00:39] <Random832> er yeah and -offtopic
[00:39] <thefatloverboy_> sudo apt-get install gspca-dkms      No se pudo encontrar el paquete gspca-dkms
[00:39] <xiamx> Or.. Perhaps, what does update-initramfs actually do?
[00:40] <thefatloverboy_> doest work
[00:40] <Skapare> xiamx: updates the initramfs image?
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: did you run: sudo apt-get update    first?
[00:40] <Jordan_U> nacitar: Those partitions should only change when grub-install is run, and if the grub-pc package configuration is setup properly it should install to both drives (you can check with "debconf-show grub-pc", look at the "install_devices" value).
[00:40] <xiamx> Where's the initramfs image?
[00:40] <thefatloverboy_> well let see
[00:40] <brokendatapoint> hi all, using Ubuntu 10.04 kernel 2.6.32, am trying to get mutt configured but having issues with /var/mail/<user>, it *seems* to work but is exceptionally slow, is Postifx the issue or is it perhaps the system mail spool?
[00:40] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: ok i am in the options now
[00:41] <ahs4n> after booting fron cd
[00:41] <Skapare> xiamx: either built inside the kernel or where parameter tells it (via grub)
[00:41] <ahs4n> 8.10
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: try this command: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype      may just work
[00:41] <nacitar> Jordan_U: ah, so grub's settings aren't stored there?  if so then that'll be easy to sync once.  I assumed grub stored its settings there and thus kernel updates would break the whole mirrored idea
[00:41] <xiamx> Is that the initrd line of grub?
[00:42] <Skapare> maybe /initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic ... note that initramfs and initrd are just a difference in format ... kernel supports either
[00:42] <Gerycho> ho ok Thanks you, siete geniali ecco dove ho sbagliato maledetto pacard bell
[00:42] <Jordan_U> nacitar: No, grub's settings are stored in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and read from the filesystem at every boot. It's lilo that stores its configuration with blocklists.
[00:42] <Gerycho> by night
[00:42] <nacitar> Jordan_U: ah okay, that explains it... I've been wasting so much time trying to fight the ubuntu isntaller to let me do the impossible.  thanks a bunch man.
[00:42] <xiamx> Ahahahaha
[00:42] <Jordan_U> nacitar: You're welcome.
[00:42] <xiamx> Remove initrd line on grub works
[00:43] <Skapare> initrd is a ramdisk sector image, formatted with a filesystem such as ext2, compressed ... initramfs is a compressed cpio package
[00:43] <xiamx> Though I have no idea why...
[00:43] <brokendatapoint> is OK, worked now, yesterday there was a 17 hour lag, now is within 3 secs to a gmail addy ... weird
[00:43] <Skapare> xiamx: try rebuilding your initrd because stuff will be missing w/o it
[00:44] <Skapare> nacitar: so now you know how to do the impossible?
[00:44] <Kog|Work> alright, this channel is dead... wonder if codehaus has anything useful
[00:45] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: ok i am in the options now
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: any better?
[00:45] <^Mike> Hello, I've created a samba share on one computer - how can I access it from another ubuntu machine?
[00:45] <Skapare> xiamx: the initrd may be defective ... note that IT will be the root filesystem if no other mounted first by /linuxrc script, and it will look for /sbin/init in initrd and not find it
[00:45] <thefatloverboy_> not
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: even with the ldconfig bit?
[00:46] <xiamx> Skapare, ok thats easier, at least I have a working system
[00:46] <thefatloverboy_> it allready exist
[00:46] <thefatloverboy_> tell ś that
[00:46] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Select "Try Ubuntu..." (or a similar option if that's not exactly how it begins).
[00:46] <rofflecoptor> see when i start it up it screws up while booting
[00:46] <xiamx> I rebuilt initrd, and trying to reboot and see if it's working
[00:46] <tonama>  b
[00:46] <rofflecoptor> and it says general error mounting filesystem a maintenance shell will now be started
[00:46] <Skapare> xiamx: well now you have a way back ... try to get initrd rebuilt (and if it doesn't rebuild right, you can redo what you just did to get back and try over)
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: try: export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1; bash -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype'
[00:46] <Skapare> xiamx: OK
[00:47] <Skapare> xiamx: good luck ... gotta run for a while
[00:48] <rofflecoptor> anybody have any idea how i can fix this?
[00:48] <xiamx> Skapare,great everything work now
[00:48] <xiamx> Thank you very much Skapare
[00:48] <rofflecoptor> im at root@laptop right now but when i try to run anything it doesn't work it says its all read only
[00:49] <thefatloverboy_> doest exist
[00:49] <xiamx> I should report this to the tutorial author :P

[00:53] <thefatloverboy_> yes
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: then SAY THAT rather than me having to guess for you to then verify

[00:58] <waldy> Q: I am using Ubuntu server 10.04.1 and what I am finding is that when I ftp files into /var/www and then ftp them back to my client machine, they appear to be corrupt - this is mainly apparent with .gif .jpg and any other binary files. Itś as though they are being ftp in text mode, but the ftp client confirms that they are being transferred in binary mode. Guys, what gives? I have set up many servers in the past and not had this problem, b
[00:58] <waldy> ut am having the problem in 10.04.1 - Suggestions please?
[00:58] <mOrO^> ActionParsnip: thanks.
[00:58] <thefatloverboy_> is installed
[00:58] <ahs4n> Jordan_U i guess 32
[00:58] <angbermu> shakir: what programming language?
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: ok then the file IS there
[00:58] <thefatloverboy_> think so
[00:59] <thefatloverboy_> but i cant open it
[00:59] <thefatloverboy_> dont know how come
[00:59] <shakir> angbermu: for linux Visual C or Visual C++ or Python
[00:59] <greezmunkey> waldy: are you going from windows to *nix, then back?
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: it doesn't open like you open a text file, its used as an extra option for skype
[01:00] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Download this package and double click it to install it: http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/main/m/mbr/mbr_1.1.9-3ubuntu1_i386.deb
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: do you have the latest skype?
[01:00] <thefatloverboy_> yes i think so
[01:00] <angbermu> shakir: you may try eclipse
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy_: i'd check then report back
[01:01] <alg3r> guys, help me out here, how to not display the join/quit msg on IRC by xChat?
[01:01] <thefatloverboy_> no yet
[01:01] <angbermu> shakir: take a look http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/
[01:01] <phormUlate> mercurial is a nice dev env for java/python iirc...maybe xming... thing that sucks, no package compilation from the cl
[01:01] <alg3r> I checked preference again and again, there is no options to disable those msgs..
[01:01] <shakir> angbermu: I can use visual c or visual c++ on eclipse ?
[01:02] <ahs4n> Jordan_U how does wireless work on 8.10
[01:02] <Flannel> shakir: You can, yes.  Eclipse lets you use any toolchain
[01:03] <shakir> TY
[01:03] <loki__> i have update my ubuntu server from 8.04 up to 10.4 now all vhots will be ignore...wtf... ?
[01:03] <angbermu> shakir: look at Flannel message
[01:03] <rofflecoptor> i can't even boot into my windows anymore :(
[01:03] <phormUlate> i compiled qemu with eclipse in cygwin once
[01:03] <shakir> angbermu: Ok ty :)
[01:03] <phormUlate> least ur hdd is ok
[01:04] <thefatloverboy_> sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intuitivenipple.list
[01:04] <thefatloverboy_> rm: no se puede borrar «/etc/apt/sources.list.d/intuitivenipple.list»: No existe el archivo o directorio
[01:04] <thefatloverboy_> thefatloverboy@thefatloverboy-desktop:~/Escritorio$ sudo apt-get update
[01:04] <rofflecoptor> and when i try to reinstall ubuntu it says it can't find any operating systems but i can see them if i look on the hard drive
[01:04] <phormUlate> it wasn't bad...
[01:05] <angbermu> shakir: Eclipse can be used for a lot of languages, in fact I use for programming Avaya's IVR and you can use it on python, java, php; you may need to install additional plugins
[01:05] <Jordan_U> rofflecoptor: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[01:06] <thefatloverboy__> check this please  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustWebcamWB-1400T
[01:06] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: I don't remember. Try the top right corner of the screen or System > Administration > Networking.
[01:08] <thefatloverboy__> so ?
[01:08] <WienerWuerstel> Hi
[01:09] <WienerWuerstel> I have a weird Question but how can i get the "Old School" Linux Boot Scrren on Ubuntu?
[01:09] <digitalfiz> anyone know how to upgrade ubuntu to mono2.8? I found a tutorial but it puts mono2.8 into /opt
[01:10] <skraps> im going to work for a hosting company as a linux admin, but its in a call center, what will i be doing? anyone know, cause i sure as hell dont.
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> WienerWuerstel: can you expand on "old school"? Do you mean a text boot?
[01:10] <ad_> ee
[01:10] <ad_> rr
[01:10] <greezmunkey> waldy: sorry I don't pm, I didn't even notice that you did it until just now.
[01:10] <WienerWuerstel> That one with the Tux at the Top. Depending on how much Cores somebody has you see as many Tuxes. 1 Core = 1 Tux, 2 Corse = 2 Tuxes..
[01:11] <Fuh-zz> skraps:  linux servers for the phones?
[01:11] <thefatloverboy__> hello ?
[01:11] <WienerWuerstel> *Cores
[01:11] <DragonKeeper> is there a way to back up my irc settings ?
[01:11] <DragonKeeper> i.e.  save settings for  servers rooms and passwords
[01:12] <angbermu> skraps: I work for a call center as sysadmin, can't tell you exactly what are you going to work with but
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> DragonKeeper: what client?
[01:12] <ahs4n>  Jordan_U: i have downloaded the package on different machine, can i attach pendrive to 8.10 machine?
[01:12] <DragonKeeper> ActionParsnip   Xchat
[01:12] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Yes.
[01:12] <greezmunkey> skraps: answering calls from people that can't get into their servers, and such - most likely. It beats the dreaded "I can't print" kind of admin work.
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> DragonKeeper: may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1548231
[01:13] <thefatloverboy__> how can i install this web cam Bus 002 Device 002: ID 093a:2460 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100
[01:13] <thefatloverboy__>
[01:14] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: If I had realized you had a flash drive I would have had you create a live 10.10 USB, but since we're this far we might as well continue with 8.10 (untill any problems come up that is).
[01:14] <greezmunkey> skraps: can youi allocate another 100 Gigs for me while you're at it...
[01:15] <DragonKeeper> ActionParsnip   ... it says Xchat is nt installed lol   but im using it now
[01:15] <angbermu> skraps: I misunderstood the question, in fact if is taking calls, mostly u are going to take calls for linux problems, troubleshoot minor/major problems depending what tier you will be
[01:16] <angbermu> skraps: filing tickets, etc
[01:16] <WienerWuerstel> I want that kind of Boot Screen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAaBKys8hTs
[01:17] <WienerWuerstel> It looks better than most of the Boot Screens Major Ditros use nowadays and it gives you this warm end nerdy Linux Feeling everytime you boot your PC.
[01:17] <WienerWuerstel> *Distros
[01:17] <WienerWuerstel> *and
[01:18] <DragonKeeper> ActionParsnip   ... do you know the dir where the config files are kept ?
[01:18] <nacitar> Jordan_U: ah, sweet... I just specified both thos enormal partitions as biosgrub, and it automatically installed to both.. saw it in the output briefly as it was doing it... guess that's more or less mirrored, eh? :)
[01:18] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: installation finished
[01:18] <WienerWuerstel> Damn I hate my Keyboard. Or it hates me
[01:18] <nacitar> Jordan_U: installed grub, that is.

[01:19] <Jordan_U> !pm | rofflecoptor
[01:20] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Do you have more than one hard drive?
[01:20] <ahs4n> Jordan_U, yes
[01:20] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: What is on each drive?
[01:20] <shmup> so on my desktop, i'm trying to vim filename, and save it..
[01:20] <shmup> but i can't, because i'm not root
[01:20] <rofflecoptor> i can't pastebin anything
[01:20] <shmup> i'm not sure how to allow permissions on directories
[01:21] <shmup> or if i even have to
[01:21] <rofflecoptor> because i can't get into my os
[01:21] <rofflecoptor> im trying to reinstall grub but it keeps saying Read-only file system
[01:21] <bastidrazor> !permissions | shmup
[01:21] <ahs4n> Jordan, one is C:, D: , E: and F: where i installed 10.04 using wubi
[01:22] <shmup> ah so i'd just chmod the directory i suppose
[01:22] <ahs4n> Jordan_U:  one is C:, D: , E: and F: where i installed 10.04 using wubi
[01:22] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: in F: is ubuntu
[01:22] <machrider> maverick is offering me a "partial upgrade" right now... anyone know what could be causing that?
[01:23] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Are those different *drives* or different partitions on a single drive?
[01:23] <Eryn_1983_FL> hey peeps  where do i go to find out if there are  broadcom drivers for  wifi card in linux?
[01:23] <rofflecoptor> but when i do the sudo parted it only says 'Using /dev/sda'
[01:24] <rofflecoptor> but if i use a live cd i can my old windows system and my old home folders
[01:24] <Eryn_1983_FL> its a BCMits a BCM 4306hello??
[01:24] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: 320 gb hdd to 4 drives
[01:24] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: or partitions i dont understand?
[01:25] <cached> Is there a good tool for running the same command on a bunch of machines (say 50 or so) at once? Specifically, I have a program (with nondeterministic output) that I want to run in parallel over many machines, and I'd prefer not to go through screen on shell at a time.
[01:25] <David664> does any one have ubuntu on a USB?
[01:25] <rofflecoptor> I do
[01:25] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Drives are physically different pieces of hardware. Partitions are different sections of a single drive.
[01:25] <machrider> cached: check out fabric
[01:25] <rofflecoptor> this is the dumbest problem ever
[01:25] <David664> i ran out of space on the persistent file how do i add more space?
[01:25] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: partitions then
[01:26] <rofflecoptor> i can type login and login into my account as if nothing was wrong, only in cli
[01:26] <mikehh> Eryn_1983_FL: I saw something about Broadcom open sourcing their drivers recently
[01:26] <rofflecoptor> i can see my home folder and edit stuff
[01:26] <rofflecoptor> but i can't do anything
[01:26] <rofflecoptor> i can't make any changes and i can't boot normally
[01:26] <David664> any one>
[01:26] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Ok. Try running "sudo install-mbr /dev/sda". Make sure that you type *exactly* that command.
[01:27] <David664> so how do i add more space on the file on the USB?
[01:27] <rofflecoptor> does 'sudo: can't mkdir /var/run/sudo: Read-only file system' sound like a problem?
[01:27] <Eryn_1983_FL> hellop
[01:27] <David664> persistent or presicion file i forgot
[01:28] <Reality_> Eryn_1983_FL, google "bcm4306" & "Linux" ?
[01:28] <Jordan_U> rofflecoptor: Can you boot into the LiveCD and try it?
[01:28] <rofflecoptor> i did and it said same thing
[01:28] <Eryn_1983_FL> ok
[01:28] <Eryn_1983_FL> ok
[01:28] <rofflecoptor> when i try to install ubuntu from live cd
[01:28] <Reality_> Eryn_1983_FL, or many sites like this: http://linux-wless.passys.nl/
[01:28] <rofflecoptor> it pretends like it doesn't see any of my other operating systems
[01:29] <rofflecoptor> so its gonna murder them if i do a reinstall
[01:29] <Eryn_1983_FL> ok
[01:29] <Jordan_U> rofflecoptor: I didn't ask you to re-install. Run "sudo parted -l" from the liveCD and pastebin the output.
[01:29] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: is there space between install and dash
[01:29] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: No.
[01:30] <rofflecoptor> k
[01:30] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: yep

[01:42] <connermcd> mdg2 you can change the owner of the files using chown
[01:42] <sorak> what permissions do you need, mdg?
[01:42] <connermcd> mdg2 for example, sudo chown mdg2 <file>
[01:42] <Donkeyy> man.... ubuntu shuts off the monitor at startup
[01:42] <mdg2> sorak connermcd - I guess user so I can play the *.mid files

[01:43] <sorak> sudo chown mdg2:mdg2 *.mid
[01:43] <connermcd> mdg2 no
[01:44] <connermcd> mdg2 sudo chown <username> <file>
[01:44] <mdg2> connermcd: does sudo chown mdg2;mdg2 *.mid only give me permission?
[01:44] <connermcd> mdg2 not semi-colon... not mdg2;mdg2, mdg2:mdg2
[01:44] <mdg2> connermcd: I mistyped
[01:44] <connermcd> mdg2 yes it makes you the owner of the file
[01:45] <mdg2> connermcd: can I make them so anyone can access them?
[01:45] <rofflecoptor1> i dont know what to do anymore
[01:45] <connermcd> mdg2 yes, if you want to make a file completely available to anyone it's sudo chmod 777 <file>
[01:45] <connermcd> mdg2 however, that's generally a bad idea unless it really is a file you want anyone to have access to
[01:46] <mdg2> connermcd: they are just ringtones
[01:46] <mdg2> connermcd: would that be a bad thing?
[01:47] <connermcd> mdg2 no, it's fine... just don't run around using that command on anything :-)
[01:47] <Donkeyy> I just installed a ATI driver and ubuntu wil not load now
[01:47] <mdg2> connermcd: defintely not, just trying to transfer them to new phone
[01:48] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Do you know how to mount your partitions and access files from within Ubuntu?
[01:48] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: no
[01:49] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Ok. If you go to Places > Computer you should see your partitons listed.
[01:50] <waldy> Guys, is there any chance of getting some help here please?
[01:50] <Jordan_U> !patience | waldy
[01:50] <waldy> thanks :)
[01:51] <waldy> Iĺl check those sites
[01:51] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: there are 3 filesystems in 320 gb harddisk
[01:51] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: One of them should have a directory named "ubuntu" in it.
[01:54] <Donkeyy> this is why I like debian
[01:54] <bern> bern09
[01:54] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Whatever partition has the "ubuntu" directory in it is the one wubi is installed to. Whatever partition has a "Program Files" directory is the one where windows is installed (called "C:" in windows).
[01:54] <bern> hi does anyone know how to change operating systems from a windows CE to UBUNTU?
[01:55] <Donkeyy> windows CE?
[01:55] <bern> yes
[01:55] <bern> its installed on a 7inch EPC.
[01:55] <KeyBoardx86> Hello everyone
[01:55] <bern> hi
[01:55] <OerHeks> !une
[01:56] <michael_> does anyone know the grub2 menu entry for booting the server edition iso?
[01:56] <KeyBoardx86> can anyone let me know which one will be the command to find out what wireless chipset card do I have on my laptop?
[01:56] <Donkeyy> dmhallahan your in my area
[01:56] <Jordan_U> michael_: Unfortunatly as far as I can tell loop booting is broken for the server edition isos.
[01:56] <psycho_oreos> KeyBoardx86, lspci -nnk
[01:56] <KeyBoardx86> nnk?
[01:57] <KeyBoardx86> thx psycho_oreos  let me check
[01:57] <bern> so does anyone know or is there a way i can contact someone else?
[01:57] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: it is in the home directory of that partiton?
[01:57] <michael_> Jordan_U, i thought i had gotten it to work before, but now i am unable to find the menuentries i used
[01:57] <psycho_oreos> KeyBoardx86, makes lspci output both numeric forms and resolved ID along with any loaded kernel modules along with available kernel modules
[01:57] <Jordan_U> michael_: You can get to the installer but it won't find its files and will instead need to download everything from the internet.
[01:57] <michael_> Jordan_U, alright, thanks
[01:58] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: No.
[01:58] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: the other parttions are given sizes but this is only filesystem with no sizes
[01:58] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: The one labeled "Filesystem" is not what you're interested in at the moment.
[01:59] <mdg2> okay, one more question... how do I play the *.mid files on my computer?
[01:59] <Tadcrazio> Does anyone know how to uncheck the box that says "manage windows without launcher" in docky? Without having to have two docks open?
[02:00] <Monotoko> anyone got any idea how I set the equivilant of Windows envrionment variables in Ubuntu?
[02:01] <rofflecoptor1> http://pastebin.com/0wZCyN9f
[02:01] <psycho_oreos> Monotoko, set
[02:01] <Monotoko> psycho_oreos, ...some things are just so simple ><
[02:01] <psycho_oreos> Monotoko, err you make the variable and then you use export
[02:01] <Monotoko> hahaha, I thought you meant a command called set
[02:01] <ahs4n> Jordan_U is it named filesystem
[02:02] <ahs4n> Jordan_U i found it
[02:02] <Monotoko> psycho_oreos, does Linux have a path variable?
[02:02] <psycho_oreos> Monotoko, well yeah that just prints environment variables rather than setting them
[02:02] <psycho_oreos> Monotoko, yes $PATH
[02:03] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: does it have  lib, media, home, lost+found directories?
[02:03] <Monotoko> psycho_oreos, can I add to it?
[02:03] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: No.
[02:03] <psycho_oreos> Monotoko, yes, you might want to have a read at BASH programming and BASH HOWTO
[02:03] <Monotoko> psycho_oreos, thank you...I know a bit of bash scripting but not that much
[02:04] <DK> I a writing a script and want to echo a year that the user enters as 4 digits back as a 2 digit year and can't figure how to pad the leading zero. Any suggestions?
[02:04] <psycho_oreos> Monotoko, indeed I can see :) everyone had to start from somewhere
[02:04] <DK> It's a bash script by the way
[02:04] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: then there is a root ubuntu directory top-level which has desktop, documents, pictures, videos?
[02:06] <psycho_oreos> DK, maybe use something like awk or sed
[02:06] <G1Bs0N> whats a good BT # it would be appreciated ?
[02:07] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Can you open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal), run "sudo blkid", then use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com to give a link to the output?
[02:08] <DK> psycho_oreos: Great name btw. It is for a class and we haven't gone over awk or sed yet so I don't really know their syntax yet. Is there a way to do it with echo but just easier with awk and sed or is it not really possible to pad in that way?
[02:08] <rofflecoptor1> does anybody know why my system is cooked
[02:08] <rofflecoptor1> i did that part -l thing
[02:09] <Jordan_U> rofflecoptor1: Your partition table is invalid (contains overlapping partitions).
[02:10] <rofflecoptor1> what does that mean
[02:10] <psycho_oreos> DK, heh thanks... not sure, but if the script is calling upon external command you could probably enclose the external command in quotes followed by making echo printing leading zeroes
[02:10] <Jordan_U> rofflecoptor1: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -lu"?
[02:10] <Jordan_U> rofflecoptor1: Do you know what a partition is?
[02:10] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/BEynuXti
[02:11] <iRabbit> how do I get into my Kernel configuration?
[02:13] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Ok. Run "sudo mkdir -p /tmp/mountpoints/sda{1,5,6,7}"
[02:13] <DK> psycho_oreos: It's actually a 4 digit year that is passed in and referenced with $3. Now that you mention it though I bet I could just add an if statement to check if it is in the 2000-2010 range and then just echo 0${year}.
[02:14] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: It should complete without any output (just bringing you back to a prompt).
[02:14] <iRabbit> how do I get into my Kernel configuration?
[02:14] <psycho_oreos> DK, probably heh, I am not sure exactly how you want it to work :)
[02:14] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: runtime configuration or compile-time ?
[02:15] <Jordan_U> rofflecoptor: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -lu"? Do you know what a partition is?
[02:15] <showcheap> Chek
[02:15] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, thank you
[02:15] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: yep
[02:15] <WilliamHerry> what package contain pastebin?
[02:16] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: for what? but you're welcome, anyhow!
[02:16] <rww> ubottu: pastebin | WilliamHerry
[02:16] <ilovefairuz> WilliamHerry: pastebinit
[02:16] <rofflecoptor> http://pastebin.com/fxuAE7Lr
[02:17] <DK> psycho_oreos: I appreciate the help. I'll give it a try. Might look up awk and sed in the text just to see how difficult it is to do it first. Thanks again. :)
[02:17] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, what is the CLI command for it?
[02:17] <WilliamHerry> thanks,
[02:17] <MeatDev> Anyone know a solution for my centrino advanced n 6250 card
[02:17] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: you didn't answer my question, what are you trying to accomplish ?
[02:17] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Good. Now run "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/mountpoints/sda1/ && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /tmp/mountpoints/sda5/ && sudo mount /dev/sda6 /tmp/mountpoints/sda6/ && sudo mount /dev/sda7 /tmp/mountpoints/sda7/"
[02:17] <psycho_oreos> DK, no worries, if you're caught again I suggest something like BASH HOWTO for starters before asking in their support channel
[02:18] <Nisstyre65> DK, a really great book is Classic Shell Scripting
[02:18] <Nisstyre65> if you want to learn shell scripting
[02:18] <rofflecoptor> me?
[02:18] <rofflecoptor> or ahs4n
[02:18] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, need some info for ATI support
[02:18] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: && means in the same command?
[02:18] <Nisstyre65> also the seperate O'Reilly books on sed and awk I'm sure are great
[02:19] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: you wouldn't find that in the kernel configuration, you probably need to check the loaded driver, try: sudo lshw -C display
[02:19] <waldy> gotta go guys, lunchtime - thanks for the tip on askubuntu.com - it looks like a decent resource of info.
[02:20] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Yes. If you copy exactly what I posted into a terminal on a single line it will run all of those mount commands, one after the other. You can also enter each command individually if you prefer.
[02:20] <hakimsheriff> Do I need an antivirus or internet security software?
[02:20] <mofaph> Hi, all. How to know BIOS supported LBA hard disk? How to know hard disk is LBA mode? I'm using Ubuntu Linux, any commands to do that?
[02:20] <ilovefairuz> !virus | hakimsheriff
[02:20] <Nisstyre65> ilovefairuz, that's misleading
[02:20] <Nisstyre65> something like rkhunter is a good thing to havre
[02:20] <Nisstyre65> *have
[02:20] <hakimsheriff> okay thanks
[02:20] <albech> Where does Chrome store its userdata?
[02:21] <Nisstyre65> especially if you have a server box
[02:21] <albech> I have been looking for .chrome or something
[02:21] <hakimsheriff> Which is the best antivirus?
[02:21] <hakimsheriff> I dont mind paying for it
[02:22] <WilliamHerry> have you try dpkg -L chrome's package name
[02:22] <Nisstyre65> hakimsheriff, the best things in life are free, so clam AV
[02:22] <Jordan_U> !virus | hakimsheriff
[02:22] <ilovefairuz> Nisstyre65: a rootkit needs a vulnerability to exploit, on a fully updated/patched system,  the chances are minimal (only zero day exploits that get fixed right away )
[02:22] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, that didn't show the information I needed :(
[02:22] <ilovefairuz> albech: ~/.config/google-chrome
[02:22] <Nisstyre65> ilovefairuz, that's not necessarily true either
[02:22] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: what kind of information do you need?
[02:22] <Nisstyre65> if someone got access to a user account (let's say the apache user account) then they could look for vulnerabilities in any program
[02:23] <hakimsheriff> @ubottu I saw the message the first time. I was just asking which one is the best
[02:23] <spivwaq> Hi all, I just rebooted and ubuntu is no longer displaying the wireless icon in the panel.  I'm running a dual boot and everything works fine in windows... any thoughts?  Never had a problem like this in ubuntu before
[02:23] <ilovefairuz> Nisstyre65: and how would they gain access to a user account without an exploit?
[02:23] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, I was told  I needed to copy an paste some information in the kernel configuration. no clue what exactly
[02:23] <Nisstyre65> ilovefairuz, crappy web app coding, for example a php exploit
[02:23] <Nisstyre65> those tend to NOT get fixed quickly
[02:24] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, just need the CLI to view the whole thing?
[02:24] <Nisstyre65> But I do agree an antivirus program (in the windows sense) isn't something you need
[02:24] <NelsonPR> Hello everybody !
[02:24] <ilovefairuz> Nisstyre65: that's something entirely different than typical windows-style self-propagating viruses
[02:24] <Nisstyre65> ilovefairuz, agreed
[02:24] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: well, where have you been told this?
[02:25] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, friend
[02:25] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: in details?
[02:26] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, friend trying to troubleshoot an issue
[02:26] <ahs4n> Jordan_
[02:26] <NelsonPR> I need a 2MP webcam compatible with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Could someone suggest one to me?
[02:26] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: ya
[02:26] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, just following what he's telling me to do
[02:26] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: yes, what are the details of that particular issue? and what he did suggest that you would find and copy?
[02:27] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Ok. Now run "find /tmp/mountpoints/ -maxdepth 2" and pastebin the output.
[02:27] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, Ugh, I'm not typing that all out.... I just need the CLI to view my kernel configuration please :)
[02:27] <trojan_spike> albech, usr/lib
[02:28] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: what do you expect to find? illustrate with an example
[02:28] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, I asked him how... he didn't know and suggested the "basement virgins in an Ubuntu room on IRC would know"
[02:29] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: how very thoughtful of him, please keep the conversation on topic
[02:29] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, I need to know if the card is configured a certain way and has support for some kind of rendering?
[02:30] <thunkee> NelsonPR: does 1,3 mp and 1280x1024 fir?
[02:30] <thunkee> fit
[02:30] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: then you need to a) find what driver is your card using and b) check the driver status web page to see if it supports that feature
[02:30] <Benkinooby> hi, i am looking for an alternative to okular. i miss many of its handy functions (select area and save it as text/image) on other pdf-viewers. can some1 recommend me a pdf-viewer that as similar tools but is not bound to all the qt-libs?
[02:31] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, "we still need to know what the kernel says"
[02:31] <WilliamHerry> Benkinooby, you can try acroread
[02:31] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, is access to the kernel top secret or something?
[02:31] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Q9RQv1Bh
[02:31] <Benkinooby> WilliamHerry, the one from Adobe?!
[02:31] <sorak> irabbit, thats quite vague. what do you expect the kernel to say?
[02:31] <alg3r> acroread = adobe reader?
[02:31] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: it's not, but you're asking the wrong question, so don't expect to get an appropriate answer
[02:31] <WilliamHerry> Benkinooby, yes,
[02:32] <iRabbit> sorak, I personally dont know... but "he
[02:32] <iRabbit> will know it when he sees it
[02:32] <alg3r> just installed adobe.
[02:32] <sorak> the kernel loads a module that is responsible for interacting with the hardware. it does not do so itself. that module is what you need to investigate
[02:32] <Kyjan> So, I'm trying to find some good articles on allowing multiple user access to my desktop installation of Ubuntu 10.10.  I've found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX and http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Remote_Access_to_the_Ubuntu_10.x_Desktop, but I wanted to consult the community.
[02:32] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, Could you please tell me the CLI to view the kernel configuration?
[02:32] <Kyjan> Has anyone done this, and if so, what direction did you follow?  Did you use FreeNX or vncserver to create multiple desktops?
[02:33] <Kyjan> I'm looking to perform this over SSH for security.
[02:33] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, question asked
[02:33] <spivwaq> The wireless icon has disappeared from my panel and now I have no connection... all I did was reboot... qany ideas?
[02:33] <Nisstyre65> spivwaq, open up a terminal and type 'nm-applet &'
[02:33] <WilliamHerry> Benkinooby, it shows the text much better than envice
[02:33] <Benkinooby> WilliamHerry, oO i thing adobe will be my last option
[02:34] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: the "(non)kernel configuration" of your ATI card can be viewed using sudo lshw -C display
[02:34] <alg3r> Benkinooby, what happned with okular?
[02:34] <Nisstyre65> actually, spivwaq first type sudo /etc/init.d/networkmanager start OR whatever that command is for ubuntu (can't remember)
[02:34] <WilliamHerry> Benkinooby, it is too big
[02:34] <rofflecoptor> im scared
[02:34] <rofflecoptor> i dont know what do anymore
[02:34] <mofaph> Hi, all. How to know BIOS supported LBA hard disk? How to know hard disk is LBA mode?  Any commands to do that?
[02:34] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: the kernel itself is barely concerned with the specifics of what the driver does or doesn't support
[02:35] <Benkinooby> alg3r, WilliamHerry yes. okular is too big. but to me it is the best pdf viewer when i comes to functionality
[02:35] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz, ugh.... all I need is the CLI to view the kernel configuration. If thats not the information I need then let us find out the hardway :)
[02:36] <alg3r> so, it means okular still being supported? I can get it from sources?
[02:36] <WilliamHerry> Benkinooby, so, i should try all of them and find out which is the best, good luck
[02:36] <Benkinooby> alg3r, for sure. it's in the repository
[02:36] <spivwaq> Nisstyre65, I don't know what the ubuntu cmd is
[02:36] <WilliamHerry> you
[02:36] <Nisstyre65> spivwaq, hold on a sec
[02:36] <alg3r> cool. I'll give it a try. but dude, u still have to keep looking :P
[02:37] <Benkinooby> WilliamHerry, ? never said that. i was just asking if some1 has a good alternative at hand
[02:37] <Benkinooby> WilliamHerry, never asked you to do my work.
[02:37] <Nisstyre65> spivwaq, type this exactly and hit enter "sudo /etc/init.d/networkmanager start ; nm-applet &"
[02:37] <ilovefairuz> iRabbit: ok there you go, the kernel is configured at runtime through the "/proc"  and/or "/sys" pseudo  filesystems, some configuration values may be passed as parameters to the kernel line in grub configuration files
[02:37] <WilliamHerry> Benkinooby, my misspell
[02:38] <Nisstyre65> spivwaq, if it doesn't work then paste the output and put it on ubuntu.paste.com and link it here
[02:38] <Nisstyre65> er sorry I meant paste.ubuntu.com
[02:38] <Nisstyre65> or whatever it is :P pastie.org works for me
[02:39] <ilovefairuz> sysfs
[02:39] <Benkinooby> WilliamHerry, ah, ok. np... so, happy go aptitude :/
[02:41] <spivwaq> Thank you I'm going to try nessty
[02:42] <spivwaq> Nissty*
[02:42] <ridin> !puregnome
[02:42] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Ok. Run this command: echo "This file is here only as a work around for https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/610898" > /tmp/mountpoints/sda7/wubildr
[02:44] <Bookman> I'm using sbackup as a backup program but when I try to select Destination>Use a Remote Site, I cannot change/type anything into the text box.  Not sure why
[02:45] <hakimsheriff> What is the best antivirus software? (people told me Clam AV but it doesnt remove threats)
[02:45] <hakimsheriff> Even if I have to pay
[02:45] <trojan_spike> hakimsheriff, avast on wine
[02:46] <hakimsheriff> does an antivirus from windows work on wine?
[02:46] <hakimsheriff> I have norton could I use that?
[02:46] <Jordan_U> hakimsheriff: Are you trying to remove windows viruses?
[02:46] <trojan_spike> lol,, yea of course..
[02:46] <trojan_spike> dont know about norton tho
[02:46] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: yup
[02:47] <hakimsheriff> no just trying to protect my computer since I have both windows 7 and ubuntu
[02:47] <Jordan_U> hakimsheriff: AVG has a linux version.
[02:47] <st__> hakimsheriff, you don't need antivirus in vista or 7
[02:47] <trojan_spike> hakimsheriff, u wont need anti-virus on linux
[02:47] <Nisstyre65> hakimsheriff, are you trying to scan your windows partition from linux?
[02:47] <trojan_spike> st__, sure u would
[02:47] <hakimsheriff> st__: I dont understand
[02:48] <hakimsheriff> No just trying to protect my computer
[02:48] <DK> psycho_oreos and Nisstyre65 thanks for the book suggestions. Sorry for the delay, I had to step away to cook. I'll check them out.
[02:48] <Nisstyre65> hakimsheriff, if you're REALLY paranoid you can install a firewall for linux and an IDS like snort
[02:48] <st__> hakimsheriff, antiviruses was needed for win2000, in lesser extent for XP; antiviruses for Vista are generally scereware
[02:49] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Ok, final test to check that everything is as it should be. Run "if sudo /usr/share/lupin-support/grub-mkimage --test; then echo All clear; else echo Failure; fi"
[02:50] <Gulfstream> Can I ask a question about the OpenOffice.org in Ubuntu here?
[02:50] <trojan_spike> hakimsheriff, only software not from repositories and not from good linux based sites can be dodgey,, even then some1 would have alot  of work to do when making a virus
[02:50] <Kyjan> Forgive me if I didn't follow the typical question asking format.  I'm new.  :)  Is there a method for submiting questions?
[02:50] <tony_mahoon> Kyjan: type them in the box and press enter :)
[02:50] <Benkinooby> Kyjan, yes, put a question mark at the end ;)
[02:51] <tony_mahoon> Gulfstream: go for it.
[02:51] <Kyjan> LOL!  :$
[02:51] <Kyjan> Is FreeNX the recommended way to support multiple users connecting via SSH (RDP tunneled through SSH), or should I use vncserver and multiple desktops?
[02:52] <Gulfstream> How do I create a graph in OpenOffice.org? I want it to be able to have the X and Y axis and be able to mark points with a dot
[02:52] <Benkinooby> hakimsheriff, virosprotection on a dualboot system is a bit of a "belief" thing. i, for instance, use avira on my seldomly used win xp. on ubuntu i run nothing like that at all
[02:53] <tony_mahoon> Gulfstream: use openoffice calc http://www.openofficetips.com/category/charting/
[02:53] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: All clear
[02:53] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: Then you're done :)
[02:53] <Gulfstream> is Calc compatible with a Microsoft Office program like Word?
[02:54] <ilovefairuz> Gulfstream: don't you mean with Excel ?
[02:54] <webdude> i'm installing lamp-server, using taskel on ubuntu 10.04 lts. and it's been stuck on 91% for ever.
[02:55] <Gulfstream> I need it to be ain a Word .doc file.
[02:55] <hakimsheriff> I know it is not neccesary but i am paranoid. Which is the best antivirus?
[02:55] <xttaetg> hello everyone
[02:55] <tony_mahoon> Gulfstream: yeah you can copy/paste from calc into writer, then save as a .doc
[02:55] <SpaceGhostC2C> hakimsheriff: Are you worried about getting infected on your ubuntu machine?
[02:55] <hakimsheriff> yes and I have windows on the sme computer
[02:56] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: if i have to cd to any filesystem now so what i give cd /media/"what name here" ?
[02:56] <id10t> Gulfstream, yeah, document format compatable
[02:56] <ilovefairuz> hakimsheriff: they are almost no gnu/linux "viruses" and that's why you don't need an antivirus on ubuntu
[02:56] <Gulfstream> hakinsheriff: I use AVG. I haven't seen a problem since I started using AVG
[02:56] <id10t> Gulfstream, but if you start a new doc you need to remember to save as the .docx/xlsx or whatever format
[02:56] <SpaceGhostC2C> hakimsheriff: If you really want it, I'd say look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus
[02:57] <vilhelm> is base64 decode broken in maverick openssl?
[02:57] <vilhelm> can't get it to work
[02:58] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: ......or some other command?
[02:58] <izinucs> Gulfstream: you can save a OOo word document in .doc and .odt .. you don't need to cut and paste into MS Word
[02:58] <ridin> !broadcom
[02:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> hakimsheriff: It isn't really needed in ubuntu or linux in general.  I will still saty on the channel if anyone has other suggestions
[02:58] <xttaetg> anybody can help me?
[02:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> !ask | xttaetg
[02:59] <blackshirt> hello, good morning all
[02:59] <Gulfstream> Is there a way to get the X and Y with 4 quadrants?
[02:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> Gulfstream: Is this specific to Ubuntu?
[02:59] <st__> hakimsheriff, no antivirus save you from 0-day exploit
[02:59] <izinucs> Gulfstream: you trying to plot a math formula?
[03:00] <Gulfstream> yeah
[03:01] <Gulfstream> Yes I am trying to plot a math formula
[03:01] <izinucs> Gulfstream: use qalculate and from there you should be able to cut and paste I think.. not much experience.. but plotting and graphing with a math formula is suppose to be easy with this program
[03:01] <tahnok> does someone know how to change how long a server socket is unusable after it's dropped for?
[03:01] <jro1> I am trying to set up a virtual host and confused on what IP to use?

[03:02] <Nisstyre65> !dbus
[03:02] <JohnCooke> If anyone needs advice on CPAlead, please download my E-book at http://fileml.com/0hTr0 !
[03:02] <Nisstyre65> So does ubuntu run dbus by default?
[03:02] <Nisstyre65> or does it just use udev?
[03:03] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: there is some big number for the parttion?
[03:04] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: i cannot renam,e it?
[03:04] <ahs4n> *rename*
[03:04] <MTecknology> What do I need to install to read vfat fs?
[03:04] <ilovefairuz> Nisstyre65: they are intended for different purposes and are not mutually exclusive
[03:04] <jrib> MTecknology: nothing
[03:05] <MTecknology> jrib: lies
[03:05] <id10t> MTecknology, it is a kernel module
[03:05] <jrib> MTecknology: you can read vfat by default
[03:05] <id10t> sudo modprobe vfat
[03:05] <iSlack> Hi guys - I have a problem with a SAMBA share when using "valid users = username" - the share will require user/password and when you intro the information requested it will reject it. Other shares without restrictions still allows the same user to see the shares. Samba should not ask for the password and should let me access to that share (I am trying to lockout the share from other smb users) Help please or ideas?
[03:05] <Nisstyre65> ilovefairuz, true, so does Ubuntu start the dbus daemon at boot then?
[03:05] <ilovefairuz> !details | MTecknology
[03:05] <ilovefairuz> Nisstyre65: yes
[03:05] <Nisstyre65> all right, thanks
[03:05] <MTecknology> id10t: I forgot about that part - thanks - what about for mkfs.vfat?
[03:06] <MTecknology> ilovefairuz: I didn't leave out details
[03:06] <id10t> iSlack, assume you created passwod w/ smbpasswd -a username?
[03:06] <iSlack> id10t - yes and the user / pw combo works fine, for all other shares without "valid users"
[03:06] <id10t> MTecknology, it is there on my default debian and ubuntu installs...
[03:06] <ilovefairuz> MTecknology: what are you trying to do and what errors are you getting?
[03:06] <MTecknology> ilovefairuz: yes- default
[03:06] <MTecknology> id10t: *
[03:06] <MTecknology> id10t: but what is it that I need?
[03:07] <id10t> MTecknology, man mkfs.vfat ?
[03:08] <WilliamHerry> does menu.lst file total gone in Ubuntu 10.10
[03:08] <id10t> iSlack, no idea...
[03:08] <yxz97> Is there any way to install ubuntu without burning the image ISO?
[03:08] <MTecknology> I love the help....
[03:08] <MTecknology> root@panther:~# mkfs.vfat
[03:08] <MTecknology> bash: mkfs.vfat: command not found
[03:08] <yxz97> I have downloaded ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386
[03:08] <iSlack> id10t thanks
[03:08] <bazhang> WilliamHerry, yes its grub2 now
[03:08] <yxz97> ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso
[03:08] <MTecknology> Am I asking complicated questions?
[03:08] <SpaceGhostC2C> MTecknology: Are you using the generic kernel?
[03:08] <bazhang> !grub2 > WilliamHerry
[03:08] <Free_Java_Now> yxz97, you must burn the ISO
[03:09] <SpaceGhostC2C> Free_Java_Now: No you don't.
[03:09] <yxz97> Free_Java_Now, I actually burn it with brazero
[03:09] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: There are a number of ways. Using a USB stick works.
[03:09] <id10t> MTecknology, no, you are asking the wrong questions
[03:09] <MTecknology> SpaceGhostC2C: no
[03:09] <Free_Java_Now> SpaceGhostC2C, He needs to burn the iso inorder to use build essentials
[03:09] <SpaceGhostC2C> MTecknology: Then does your config have the module for it?
[03:09] <MTecknology> id10t: no- i'm not - what application is needed to run mkfs.vfat
[03:09] <iSlack> anybody have any suggestions for why would valid users on samba not work?
[03:09] <MTecknology> package*
[03:09] <SpaceGhostC2C> Free_Java_Now: You don't need to burn the ISO.
[03:09] <yxz97> I have a 500GB Maxtor HD
[03:09] <MTecknology> SpaceGhostC2C: yes
[03:09] <yxz97> USB HDD
[03:09] <rww> MTecknology: Install dosfstools. Everyone else already has it because they aren't obsessed with package removal.
[03:09] <AbhiJit> good morning
[03:09] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, how I do that
[03:10] <id10t> MTecknology, well, the kernel, a shell of some sort, probably some libraries
[03:10] <yxz97> I have also important data in this USB drive, SpaceGhostC2C
[03:10] <Free_Java_Now> yxz97, Trust me burn the ISO
[03:10] <MTecknology> rww: thanks, I knew it wasn't a hard question
[03:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: What OS do you have on your machine now.
[03:10] <rww> MTecknology: For future reference, /msg ubottu !find mkfs.vfat works.
[03:10] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, ubuntu
[03:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> Free_Java_Now: He doesn't *need* to burn it.
[03:10] <yxz97> but I want a clean install
[03:10] <MTecknology> rww: I'll try to remember that
[03:10] <yxz97> format the hdd and reinstall again
[03:10] <Free_Java_Now> SpaceGhostC2C, He will fuck up his hardrive data corruption
[03:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: You can do it a few different ways.
[03:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> Free_Java_Now: Language.
[03:11] <yxz97> Free_Java_Now, I did, but like the image is not working
[03:11] <bazhang> Free_Java_Now, language
[03:11] <yxz97> Free_Java_Now, the CD drive is not reading the drive
[03:11] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, ok, but be more specific
[03:11] <yxz97> please
[03:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: So, you don't want any of the data on the drive now?
[03:11] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz: I found the command I was looking for, was what your game me without the -c... thank you
[03:11] <yxz97> yeah, my other OS
[03:11] <yxz97> which is secret
[03:11] <iwan> hi guys, need some help with viewing 4GB on 10.04
[03:11] <yxz97> lol
[03:11] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz:
[03:12] <iRabbit> ilovefairuz: *gave
[03:12] <Free_Java_Now> yxz97, Why is your other OS secret do you have porn on it ?
[03:12] <bazhang> iwan, 32bit?
[03:12] <id10t> iwan, the live cd doesn't have a pae kernel so you'll see 3.2, otherwise after install you should see it w/ either pae kernel or 64bit install
[03:12] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: yxz97 unetbootin works
[03:12] <iwan> yes
[03:12] <bazhang> iwan, install linux-generic-pae if so
[03:12] <Jordan_U> yxz97: Just in general you should not have important data in only one drive (without a backup), especially if the drive is a flash drive. I've had countless flash drives fail on me, most corrupting data silently before dying completely.
[03:12] <SpaceGhostC2C> Free_Java_Now: Perhaps you need to read the !guidelines
[03:12] <IdleOne> Free_Java_Now: Please try to keep the discussion family friendly
[03:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> IdleOne: <3
[03:13] <yxz97> Jordan_U, thanks for advise
[03:13] <Jordan_U> yxz97: You're welcome.
[03:13] <iwan> is this the one found in ubntu software centre
[03:13] <bazhang> iwan, in synaptic certainly
[03:14] <bazhang> iwan, or sudo apt-get install linux-generic-pae
[03:14] <id10t> iwan - it is the default kernel installed in my experience
[03:14] <bazhang> id10t, the smp one is not the pae
[03:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: You can use unetbootin, or boot from the iso using grub2 as two options.
[03:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> It's easiest to just burn a cd at 8x and then reinstall from there.
[03:15] <iwan> i'll try that now
[03:15] <_BC05t3au_> test
[03:15] <yxz97> grub2 as two options
[03:15] <yxz97> man this is chinese for me
[03:15] <yxz97> help!
[03:15] <castlec1> hey guys.  I'm having fits with the nvidia installer on my mythbuntu diskless.  is nouveau compiled in the kernel or something?  I can't get it to disable no matter what I do it seems.  Any advice?
[03:16] <ahs4n> Jordan_U: ok then, thanks much, you ROCK!
[03:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: unetbootin, or grub2. Two options.
[03:16] <saintfollower> just installed chromium and flash player not working, any ideas?
[03:16] <Jordan_U> ahs4n: You're welcome.
[03:16] <yxz97> grub2 how is that
[03:16] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, please be more specific
[03:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> !unetbootin | yxz97
[03:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> !grub2 | yxz97
[03:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> Those two.
[03:17] <carandraug> hi! Is there anyway to install Ubuntu in a computer and only create an account the first time it boots? I'm planning on selling my old computer and would like to do it with Ubuntu pre-installed
[03:18] <IdleOne> carandraug: there is an OEM option iirc on the alternate cd
[03:18] <Nisstyre65> carandraug, yeah there is, make a partition with the installation iso on it and set the computer to boot to it
[03:18] <yxz97> can I create the USB with a USB of 512mB?
[03:18] <Nisstyre65> or do what IdleOne said
[03:18] <IdleOne> I vaguely remember seeing something like that
[03:18] <Young_Hova> seeing what
[03:19] <IdleOne> Young_Hova: and OEM install option
[03:19] <yxz97> whats this Step 5: Back on the PPA's overview page, look for the Signing key heading. You'll see something like:
[03:19] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: No, you'll need >= 700Mb
[03:19] <yxz97> Hell I have a drive with 3 partitions 2 NTFS and 1 LINUX
[03:19] <carandraug> IdleOne, Nisstyre65 thanks. I'll look into both options
[03:19] <yxz97> this is a single USB hard rdrive of 500GB
[03:20] <yxz97> may "deploy" the iso in the linux part of boot from there?
[03:20] <Young_Hova> yxz97, you should get PartedMagic iso
[03:20] <yxz97> do you understand me? Whaty I'm trying to say?
[03:20] <SpaceGhostC2C> Young_Hova: He's trying to avoid burning a disc.
[03:20] <Young_Hova> PartedMagic will help you slice up your disk
[03:20] <yxz97> I dont know if there any here gots what I'm trying to say
[03:21] <yxz97> I don't need slice anything Young_Hova
[03:21] <yxz97> THe partitions are already made
[03:21] <Young_Hova> He should burn the Ubuntu Linux iso so he it use it as a Live disk yah feel me ?
[03:21] <yxz97> Yeah I dont want burn it
[03:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> IdleOne: Can you boot a iso in grub and then use it to reinstall Ubuntu on the same partitions the iso is on?
[03:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> Young_Hova: See my above message to you. :)
[03:22] <yxz97> the shit, brasero I guess burn the image with errors.
[03:22] <Young_Hova> yxz97, Why dont you want to create an Ubuntu Live disk do you feel me ?
[03:22] <bazhang> yxz97, unetbootin from a 1GB or larger flash key
[03:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> language yxz97.
[03:22] <IdleOne> spacebug-: no idea
[03:22] <IdleOne> SpaceGhostC2C: ^^
[03:22] <IdleOne> sorry spacebug-
[03:22] <yxz97> Young_Hova, I feel you? wtf!
[03:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> IdleOne: Oh okay. I wasn't sure if it loads into ram completely or not. It's worth a try.
[03:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Language.
[03:22] <Young_Hova> yxz97, lol
[03:23] <IdleOne> yxz97: please keep the language clean, acronyms are not welcome either. thank you.
[03:23] <yxz97> IdleOne, what'up?
[03:23] <yxz97> IdleOne, whats'up?
[03:24] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: You're going to need one of two things. A USB key with >=700Mb, or you can try booting the ISO from grub2 and then reinstalling Ubuntu from that.
[03:24] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Those are the easiest ways I know of to reinstall Ubuntu without a cd and without using other computers in the process.
[03:24] <Young_Hova> SpaceGhostC2C, It is too complicated all he has to do is burn the live disk
[03:25] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, I have a USB and I already told you the partitions in this USB Drive
[03:25] <yxz97> I did
[03:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> xttaetg: Perhaps you should ask in the channel instead of PM'ing me. I'm only one person.
[03:25] <yxz97> gru2 not sure how works
[03:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: I'm just saying you have some choices. :)
[03:25] <yxz97> grub2 not sure how works
[03:25] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, yeah yeah I understand
[03:26] <Young_Hova> I told you it would be too complicated for him
[03:26] <al_nz1> anyone know a way with sed using patterns to seperate 3 words, like "Able Tasman Park" into "Tasman Park" ?
[03:26] <al_nz1> ie remove first word
[03:26] <Young_Hova> yxz97, Just burn an Ubuntu Live disk and master that install first
[03:27] <WilliamHerry> awk '{ print $2 $3}'
[03:27] <SpaceGhostC2C> Young_Hova: Perhaps he doesn't want or can't do a livecd. What nao?
[03:27] <Nisstyre65> al_nz1, use cut
[03:27] <tzicatl> Hi all. I can't change the brightness on a Gateway Laptop.  Where can I start debugging this?
[03:27] <yxz97> Young_Hova, dont you hell understand what I'm being talking to you since last 20 minutes!
[03:27] <al_nz1> Nisstyre65, thats a new command for me
[03:27] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Calm down.
[03:28] <Young_Hova> SpaceGhostC2C, then he should switch back to Windows
[03:28] <xttaetg> when I install the software gmlive ,have a error:you intltools is too old,but i have install the newer
[03:28] <SpaceGhostC2C> Young_Hova: That attitude isn't helpful.
[03:28] <Young_Hova> SpaceGhostC2C, lol
[03:28] <id10t> yxz97, extract the cd contents and use the wubi install?  (you know now everything about wubi that i know...)
[03:28] <yxz97> no wubi, wth!!!
[03:28] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: You can boot into windows and use wubi if you wanted.
[03:28] <yxz97> what is that dudee? id10t
[03:28] <castlec1> All, I'm having trouble disabling nouveau in 10.10 to install the proprietary drivers.  Any advice?
[03:28] <yxz97> no i m using ubuntu now, here
[03:29] <al_nz1> WilliamHerry, was that answer for me?
[03:29] <id10t> yxz97, lets you run/install ubuntu from within windows
[03:29] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: You have those options. Take them or leave them, it's all I can give you.
[03:29] <yxz97> Im running, playing with unetbootin
[03:29] <rofflecoptor> i need some srs help
[03:29] <palint240> hola
[03:29] <Young_Hova> id10t, you seem like a Jedi and you are trying to give instructions to a Padawan
[03:29] <rofflecoptor> i can't log into my ubuntu normally
[03:29] <rofflecoptor> or my windows
[03:29] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: Ask them :)
[03:29] <palint240> hola
[03:29] <WilliamHerry> al_nz1: you can use cut instand of sed,
[03:29] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, hey, ....
[03:29] <tzicatl> palint240: hola :)
[03:29] <palint240> como estan :)
[03:29] <rofflecoptor> i did a while back but nobody ever answered me
[03:29] <yxz97> yo hablo español tambien! tzicatl
[03:29] <palint240> :O
[03:29] <rofflecoptor> they asked me to run some commands and i did
[03:29] <yxz97> !language
[03:29] <palint240> cool
[03:29] <tzicatl> palint240: wooow
[03:30] <palint240> enceñame inglishs :)
[03:30] <yxz97> !language | tzicatl

[03:30] <SpaceGhostC2C> !es | yxz97
[03:30] <tzicatl> palint240:  este es un canal en inglès.
[03:30] <SpaceGhostC2C> And don't abuse the bot, yxz97.
[03:30] <WilliamHerry> awk '{ print $2,$3 }' is also work al_nz1
[03:30] <palint240> ok
[03:30] <tzicatl> ubottu: sorry about that
[03:31] <rofflecoptor> i was trying to upgrade my ubuntu 8.04 to the new one when it overheated
[03:31] <rofflecoptor> i put some new thermal paste in and cleaned it
[03:31] <al_nz1> WilliamHerry, I have a long list of words, most are one word per line, some are two and three per line
[03:31] <rofflecoptor> and when i logged back in it would screw up while booting
[03:31] <rio_> hi everyone!
[03:31] <al_nz1> the two and three words per line need to be seperated onto there own line
[03:32] <yagoo> rofflecoptor, you changed the thermal paste for the cpu?
[03:32] <rofflecoptor> i would get this General error mounting filesystems
[03:32] <rofflecoptor> ya for the cpu
[03:32] <yagoo> lol
[03:32] <rofflecoptor> it was almost gone
[03:32] <rio_> is there anyone who installed apache webserver on his linux? i want pdo_mysql.so file to load it via dl() function.i dont have a linux system.but need it.
[03:32] <yagoo> rofflecoptor, maybe the processor was not the problem at all..
[03:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: Has the system been damaged during the overheat?
[03:32] <IdleOne> sprung: you here?
[03:33] <WilliamHerry> al_nz1: i don't know very well about sed
[03:33] <rofflecoptor> no
[03:33] <sprung> test
[03:33] <IdleOne> thank you
[03:33] <rofflecoptor> if i go into the boot cd
[03:33] <rofflecoptor> i can see all my old windows folders and ubuntu folders
[03:33] <rofflecoptor> but when i try to boot normally
[03:33] <rofflecoptor> or even in recovery mode i keep getting errors
[03:33] <tzicatl> So, I will ask my question again :) Hi all. I can't change the brightness on a Gateway Laptop with ubuntu 10.10. I already played with the /proc/api/video/*/brigthness
[03:33] <tzicatl> settings and get no results.  Where else can should I look to debug this?
[03:33] <rofflecoptor> and everything is all read only
[03:33] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: Maybe your filesystem is damaged. Have you fsck'd it?
[03:33] <rofflecoptor> how do i do that
[03:33] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: Boot from livecd
[03:34] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: man fsck
[03:34] <Kevman> I'm trying to migrate my installation to a new HD, but I can't seem to get grub installed. I installed "grub-pc" but it didn't seem to pull down the actual program "grub"
[03:34] <rofflecoptor> kk i am
[03:34] <yagoo> rofflecoptor, maybe the device map is changed... do a fdisk -l or cfdisk -l<ist?>  and compare it to the drive's /etc/fstab
[03:34] <sprung> I'm using Ubuntu One and either it's going very slow uploading my files or something's not working right. It has generated the empty folders and directory tree but there's no files. Is this normal, does it just take a while to get it all uploaded? i'm not seeing any progress bars to tell me.
[03:34] <Nisstyre65> al_nz1, echo "1 2 3" | cut -d " " -f 2,3
[03:35] <Nisstyre65> or in your case echo "Able Tasman Park" | cut -d " " -f 2,3
[03:35] <IdleOne> sprung: if you don't get an answer in here there is also #ubuntuone that maybe can help
[03:35] <WilliamHerry> sprung:  ps -ef | grep ubuntuone
[03:35] <sprung> oh
[03:36] <Monotoko> why is this cron job not working? "35 3 * * * vlc -R /home/monotoko/alarm2.mp3"
[03:36] <yxz97> hey
[03:36] <Monotoko> should run it at 03:35?
[03:36] <yxz97> ok, so unetbootin creates a bootable unit in my USB?
[03:36] <rofflecoptor> none of that looks the same or seems to work
[03:37] <Skapare> Monotoko: what is the full path to vlc?
[03:37] <yxz97> from there I reboot the computer and .. install from the USB to my laptop?
[03:37] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Probably reformats it in the process.
[03:37] <bazhang> yxz97, provided its large enough, yes
[03:37] <yxz97> is this the process?
[03:37] <rofflecoptor> like when i first boot up i see grub
[03:37] <SpaceGhostC2C> bazhang: Does it reformat the drive too?
[03:37] <rofflecoptor> and can see my recovery and windows
[03:37] <bazhang> SpaceGhostC2C, yes
[03:37] <rofflecoptor> but i can't boot into windows
[03:37] <Monotoko> Skapare, ...I am not quite sure, I installed it from apt, I believe it is in one of the bin folders though
[03:37] <rofflecoptor> and either linux option just does the same thing
[03:37] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, format, scare me
[03:37] <zhoop> Hola a todos
[03:37] <SpaceGhostC2C> Skapare: `which vlc`
[03:37] <yxz97> I hope not lost of my other partitions, but I check and not
[03:37] <Skapare> Monotoko: do "which vlc" to get the full path
[03:38] <rofflecoptor> and when i try to reinstall it, it says it doesn't see any partitions
[03:38] <Skapare> Monotoko: then use that full put in the crontab
[03:38] <yxz97> unetbootin now says...
[03:38] <bazhang> rofflecoptor, please keep it on a single line, its very hard to follow otherwise
[03:38] <yxz97> Reboot current
[03:38] <rofflecoptor> so i can't even reinstall it without screwing up my windows partition and having to reinstall that
[03:38] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: It's possible, that if you just ran unetbootin, you just reformatted your usb drive. If you didn't run it, then you didn't lose your data.
[03:38] <yxz97> after rebooting, select the USB boot option from the bios boot menu, Reboot now?
[03:38] <Monotoko> Skapare, done...lets see what happens in a minute
[03:39] <swim> hey, does anybody here know how to change kompozer's split view to include all the source code instead of just the currently selected element???
[03:39] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, you are the guys more consufin in the worls
[03:39] <Monotoko> Skapare, nothing happened...does aplay play mp3s?
[03:39] <yxz97> world
[03:39] <yxz97> haha
[03:39] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: I'm sorry.
[03:39] <yxz97> ok, I'll reboot, and check of this machine has USB booting capability, I hope so
[03:40] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, no problem, is just confusing for me, understand..
[03:40] <Skapare> Monotoko: there might be a permissions problem, too ... make a script that gets run by cron ... which writes a message to a file and runs vlc (full path in the script)
[03:40] <yxz97> I'm a programmer, SpaceGhostC2C so, I prefer no ambiguos language, and be more specific at all
[03:40] <yxz97> brb
[03:40] <yxz97> hope
[03:41] <iwan> thanks guys can now see 4GB Ram
[03:41] <Skapare> yxz97: FYI: I have pre-built images of Ubuntu ready to directly dd to a USB memory stick ... no unetbootin needed ... but it DOES erase the whole device
[03:41] <SpaceGhostC2C> iwan: L:)
[03:41] <iRabbit> skapare: he quit
[03:41] <Skapare> iRabbit: his loss
[03:42] <SpaceGhostC2C> Skapare: unetbootin does it a bit cleaner.
[03:42] <Skapare> SpaceGhostC2C: depends ... you haven't seen how I do it :)
[03:42] <SpaceGhostC2C> Skapare: Whatever. :)
[03:42] <Skapare> SpaceGhostC2C: my images can be dd'd to USB ... AND ... can still also be used as an ISO and burned to a DVD
[03:42] <SpaceGhostC2C> I personally just run a pxe server.
[03:43] <SpaceGhostC2C> Skapare: Pretty much the same with the ubuntu iso, no?
[03:43] <Skapare> SpaceGhostC2C: PXE is fine, too
[03:43] <SpaceGhostC2C> Anyways, this isn't a discussion channel.
[03:43] <cfs_x> People are sleeping in the xubuntu channel. I just wanted to know how to change the background image on the login screen.
[03:43] <Skapare> SpaceGhostC2C: mine is the ubuntu ISO with a few changes to make it work dd'd to USB memory stick flash drive
[03:43] <Monotoko> Skapare, I tried mplayer and it is working, I suspect its because vlc doesn't like not being given a display to run from
[03:44] <Jp82191> how do i extract mp3 from a flv file
[03:44] <Skapare> Monotoko: that's probably the issue
[03:44] <rofflecoptor> When i first boot up i see grub the way it normally is and can see my normal ubuntu, recovery, and windows. If I go into either linux option just does the same thing. If I try to go into windows it screws up and won't boot into windows. If I look on my hard drive while in the live cd I can see everything fine. I  have most of my stuff on my ubuntu partition backed up that I want so I don't mind reinstalling it, but when I try to install
[03:45] <avelldiroll> Jp82191: ffmpeg -i vid.flv -acodec copy output.mp3
[03:45] <yxz97> I fail!
[03:45] <yagoo> rofflecoptor, what do you mean "does the same thing" for ubuntu. does it work or not? (for fixing windows boots-- use the free paragon rescue kit cd)
[03:45] <Monotoko> how do I kill all current jobs in a terminal?
[03:45] <yxz97> I boot successfully but I get a error
[03:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Which was?
[03:45] <yxz97> says, couldnot find image kernel linux
[03:45] <Jp82191> avelldiroll: under terminal?
[03:45] <yxz97> wtf, is that
[03:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> Monotoko: all current jobs, as in?
[03:45] <st__> yxz97, you didn't boot
[03:46] <Monotoko> SpaceGhostC2C, as in the ones that have been backgrounded
[03:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: You've been told, your TLA's aren't family friendly.
[03:46] <avelldiroll> Jp82191: yes ... youn need to install the ffmpeg package first
[03:46] <yxz97> TLAs?
[03:46] <palint240> mmm
[03:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Three letter acronyms.
[03:46] <yxz97> Jessus.. what's that?
[03:46] <Skapare> SpaceGhostC2C: in case you are curious ... http://slashusr.net/ubuntu/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso.img
[03:46] <Jp82191> avelldiroll: installing now
[03:46] <rofflecoptor> yagoo it goes along fine for a minute then just fails and says 'General error mounting filesystems' and i get the root@laptop prompt
[03:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubottu: tell yxz97 about wtf
[03:46] <yagoo> yxz97, he doesn't know anything.. but try to be more efficient in your questions..
[03:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> Skapare: thanks, but no thanks. :)
[03:47] <SpaceGhostC2C> yagoo: who doesn't know anything?
[03:47] <Monotoko> ubottu: tell Monotoko about wtf
[03:47] <rofflecoptor> which is retarded because I can still type login and login and see all the contents of my home folder
[03:47] <yxz97> OK, so because I'm from not your family?
[03:47] <yxz97> that the problem? ah???
[03:47] <avelldiroll> Jp82191: if it's not already done, it might be a good idea to install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" too
[03:47] <yagoo> rofflecoptor, this isn't a channel on fixing your windows boot.. I gave you a hint of a tool about it ^^
[03:47] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Keep your language g-rated
[03:48] <rofflecoptor> im talking about my ubuntu boot
[03:48] <SpaceGhostC2C> yagoo: It's not specifically windows.
[03:48] <yxz97> st__, help me
[03:48] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: So, you can't boot into either system?
[03:48] <yxz97> st__, what was that error?
[03:48] <rofflecoptor> i can't boot into windows at all
[03:48] <yagoo> rofflecoptor, wrong channel again.
[03:48] <yxz97> st__, I made the wrong with UNetbootin?
[03:48] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: Just windows, or windows and another OS?
[03:48] <st__> yxz97, the partition you selected had no kernel, and wan't your os partition
[03:48] <rofflecoptor> i just told you windows isn't the problem
[03:49] <rofflecoptor> when i boot into ubuntu
[03:49] <sprung> now ubuntuone-preferences won't start

[03:52] <SpaceGhostC2C> AcidBarrel: See IdleOne's message.
[03:52] <rio_> my admin is not responsible. he said that i can copy that file in my root,then load it via dl() function.
[03:52] <cfs_x> Speaking of images, how do I change the background image of the login screen in Xubuntu?
[03:53] <Jp82191> avelldiroll: says no directory found
[03:53] <AcidBarrel> he's telling yxz to wait
[03:53] <AcidBarrel> i dont get it
[03:53] <SpaceGhostC2C> AcidBarrel: The patience part.
[03:53] <IdleOne> AcidBarrel: being patient is good advice for everybody
[03:53] <AcidBarrel> lol okay :D
[03:53] <SpaceGhostC2C> AcidBarrel: Repeat the question about every 10-15 minutes.
[03:54] <cakeep> indonesia
[03:54] <avelldiroll> Jp82191: you need to point to your .flv file in the commande line

[03:54] <AcidBarrel> my ubuntu wont connect to my bluetooth, it connects, and sees the cell phone but doesnt appear in the file manager list.

[03:57] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, st__ IdleOne look this http://imagebin.org/124164
[03:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Okay.  Any errors?
[03:57] <yxz97> whY i get that error from the booter, after boot my machine
[03:57] <avelldiroll> Jp82191: so open a terminal and input the following: ffmeg -i /home/jorge/Videos/vid2.flv /home/jorge/Videos/output.mp3
[03:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Try it again.
[03:57] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, be more specific, run what?
[03:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: unetbootin.
[03:58] <Jp82191> ok
[03:58] <yxz97> no error
[03:58] <cakeep> i see n learn
[03:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Did you match the md5 signature of the iso?
[03:58] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, no... help me with that first, your right
[03:58] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, the ISO could be damage!
[03:59] <rofflecoptor> said pastebinit wasn't isntalled
[03:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[03:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: apt-get install pastebinit
[03:59] <yxz97> I have a file called ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso
[03:59] <yxz97> I'll check it now!
[03:59] <IdleOne> rofflecoptor: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[03:59] <yxz97> :D
[03:59] <rofflecoptor> then when i followed directions to install it said some stuff aboutdpkg was interrupted and things are all locked
[03:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Good idea!
[03:59] <yagoo> :o .. still on the pastebinit..
[03:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: sudo apt-get install -f
[03:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> yagoo: Was that constructive or helpful?
[04:00] <yagoo> SpaceGhostC2C, this is not a discussion channel.
[04:00] <SpaceGhostC2C> yagoo: Exactly my point.
[04:00] <dwayne_> Im remotely Setting up my gf computer for ubuntu and its stopping  short on the install
[04:00] <rofflecoptor> that didn't work either
[04:00] <yagoo> "<SpaceGhostC2C> Anyways, this isn't a discussion channel."
[04:00] <rofflecoptor> sad 'Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock'
[04:00] <yagoo> definitely has no sense of discussion heads.
[04:01] <rofflecoptor> and below it it said 'dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run...'
[04:01] <iRabbit>  Is this a discussion channel or did I stumble onto DALNet?
[04:01] <yagoo> it's a closet kid.
[04:01] <IdleOne> rofflecoptor: run the command in that message
[04:01] <dwayne_> it says ready when you are
[04:01] <IdleOne> yagoo: stay on topic please
[04:01] <rofflecoptor> i've done all this stuff before
[04:01] <yagoo> IdleOne, I'm on topic. But some folks don't know how to help.
[04:01] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: And no changes at all?
[04:02] <rofflecoptor> it says 'dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system'
[04:02] <IdleOne> yagoo: you are not helping now. Please stop the offtopic comments
[04:02] <rofflecoptor> when i run it
[04:02] <avelldiroll> Jp82191: did it work then ?
[04:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: So, then possibly give us the line that is relevant to your / fs in /etc/fstab
[04:02] <yagoo> IdleOne, that was a rude comment I quoted. Sadly you don't see that.
[04:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: and /etc/mtab
[04:02] <yagoo> "."
[04:02] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, hey
[04:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Any changes?
[04:02] <zeviroksz> hello. I need to open an .MDE file from microsoft access in ubuntu. I try using openoffice base but it isn't work. Please help. Thank you.
[04:02] <IdleOne> yagoo: sadly you don't seem to understand when to drop it.
[04:03] <yxz97> the iso is not corrupted
[04:03] <yxz97> thats something
[04:03] <yxz97> hehe
[04:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Okay. so, try unetbootin with that iso again, hopefully it will work.
[04:03] <rofflecoptor> im typing it manually and i'll pastebin it in a second
[04:03]  * iRabbit grabs popcorn
[04:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: Very cool. :)
[04:03] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, did you see the image I paste?
[04:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: The original, yes.
[04:03] <yagoo> kids. lol.
[04:04] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Try running the install again. Are you sure that /dev/sdb1 is the usb drive?
[04:04] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: You do realize IdleOne is an op and you're not helping the situation by not dropping it right?
[04:04] <Jp82191> avelldiroll: yes it worked thank you!!
[04:04] <KENDAL> anyone know why my keyboard sometimes dont work on ubuntu 10.10??
[04:04] <yxz97> Yeah I said I check it with nautilus and this partion was empty, but now has all the files there...
[04:04] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Disregard that last message.
[04:04] <IdleOne> SpaceGhostC2C: he left
[04:04] <SpaceGhostC2C> IdleOne: His loss.
[04:04] <AcidBarrel> I figured it out... Bluetooth manager did what i needed
[04:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Did you run unetbootin?
[04:05] <rww> IdleOne: no he didn't
[04:05] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, did you confuse me with another mate?
[04:05] <IdleOne> rww: ?
[04:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Yes, sorry about that.
[04:05] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, I notice
[04:05] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, no problem
[04:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Did you run the unetbootin installer again?
[04:06] <sl33k_> i have downloaded YUM file for adobe flash player, how to install it?
[04:06] <yxz97> Can be confusing give help to many fellas at the same time
[04:06] <yxz97> I guess
[04:06] <yxz97> I will, I will give me a second
[04:06] <IdleOne> rww: SpaceGhostC2C tab complete failed but we both knew what we were talking about :)
[04:06] <rww> IdleOne: yeah. Just figured that out >.>
[04:06] <rio_> people! i want only this file(pdo_mysql.so) to download.if you have php on your ubuntu?
[04:06] <yxz97> I will delete everything from that partitions to ensure that unetbootin does the copy and extract of the files SpaceGhostC2C
[04:06] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, hey
[04:07] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, what0s this alternate, ISO image about?
[04:07] <SpaceGhostC2C> rio_: The majority of people who use Ubuntu don't use php in the way your system admin is suggesting you to. It's a rather odd way.
[04:07] <angbermu> sl33k_: are you going to install it in Ubuntu?
[04:07] <mokhtar> Hello guys , is there a command line that when i write i get information about my username ? Like "WhoAmI" but returns the real name and groups and these stuff ?
[04:07] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, servet, netbook, desktop, sound common, but alternate, is not specific at all!
[04:07] <IdleOne> !alternate | yxz97
[04:07] <yxz97> go it

[04:09] <iRabbit> |NX|1: I recommend installing with the CD, too many issues with the Wubi
[04:09] <|NX|1> iRabbit: I want to use wubi
[04:09] <|NX|1> Installing with a CD is not a valid option :P
[04:09] <xttaetg> yes i know
[04:09] <Ronaldlo> How might I get open GL on ubuntu 10.10? Any quick and easy terminal methods?
[04:09] <xttaetg> but i want to use yum
[04:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: Boot into the ubuntu livecd, and then you'll want to fsck the partition/drive that / is on.
[04:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> xttaetg: Then I suggest you switch distros.
[04:10] <iRabbit> |NX|1: I would try running off a USB flash drive, if thats viable
[04:10] <sl33k_> angbermu: ya
[04:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> Fedora is available.
[04:10] <rofflecoptor> how do i do that?
[04:10] <|NX|1> iRabbit: also not viable
[04:10] <IdleOne> yum is in the repos
[04:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: Do you have an ubuntu cd?
[04:10] <|NX|1> I'm getting error 11-19 22:59 ERROR  root: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
[04:10] <IdleOne> not sure why you would want to use it though
[04:10] <Jordan_U> xttaetg: If you want to use yum then you should use a different distribution. What's wrong with apt/dpkg?
[04:10] <rofflecoptor> ya its booting
[04:10] <|NX|1> with wubi
[04:11] <|NX|1> anyone familiar with that?
[04:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> IdleOne: Doesn't that make things a little messy?
[04:11] <Ronaldlo> Can I boot off of a thumb drive with yaboot?
[04:11] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, extracting files and copying Files
[04:11] <mokhtar>  Finger needs to be installed .. BTW, Thanx Very Much ..
[04:11] <IdleOne> SpaceGhostC2C: I would think so
[04:11] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, ..
[04:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: :)
[04:11] <Jordan_U> Ronaldlo: Are you using a PPC machine?
[04:11] <firewaterburnz> would anyone have any idea what might cause
[04:11] <xttaetg> no problem
[04:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> xttaetg: The best option I can give you is to use a rpm based distro.
[04:11] <Ronaldlo> yes, you remember me dont you :)
[04:11] <firewaterburnz> make[2]: *** [/home/jman2/2009_0820_RT2870_Linux_STA_V<IP_ADDRESS>/os/linux/../../os/linux/rt_linux.o] Error 1

[04:11] <FloodBot3> firewaterburnz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:11] <xttaetg> ok thank you
[04:12] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | firewaterburnz
[04:12] <SpaceGhostC2C> firewaterburnz: next time you might pastebin the error.
[04:12] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, brb
[04:12] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Okay. See you in a bit.
[04:12] <Jordan_U> |NX|1: Why is wubi the only option for you?
[04:12] <sl33k_> how do i install adobee flash on ubuntu
[04:12] <sl33k_> ?
[04:13] <|NX|1> Jordan_U: Because I want to use wubi
[04:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> sl33k_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras is one. Umm one sec.
[04:13] <Ronaldlo> Jordan_U: yes, I am on a PPC, you remember me dont you :)
[04:13] <Jordan_U> |NX|1: You don't need to use a CD to install Ubuntu normally.
[04:13] <|NX|1> I will not be satisfied until I figure out what is wrong with wubi :P
[04:13] <IdleOne> sl33k_: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[04:13] <mrnelson1986> sl33k_, easiest way? install ubuntu-tweak and click the check-mark next to flash
[04:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> sl33k_: What IdleOne said.
[04:13] <st__> !tweak
[04:13] <angbermu> sl33k_: you can try many things, download the deb or the bin file provided by adobe or go to ubuntu software center and search for adobe reader
[04:13] <IdleOne> no needfor ubuntu tweak or whatever it is called
[04:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> !flash | sl33k_
[04:13] <rio_> people! i am tired! i want you searching in your php installation path for pdo_mysql.so and send it for me. it is not so hard.
[04:14] <firewaterburnz> sorry I am a newb...does anyone know what might cause http://paste.ubuntu.com/534772/ when trying to do a make command on a driver?
[04:14] <mrnelson1986> ubuntu tweak is handy for more reasons than just flash, i liked it when i was on ubuntu before i switched to arch
[04:14] <avelldiroll> sl33k_: listen to IdleOne
[04:14] <rofflecoptor> SpaceGhostC2C okay the livecd has loaded
[04:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> rio_: I'm sorry, but the answer you seek won't be here if you don't play nicely. :)
[04:14] <rww> finding and downloading a package that isn't in the repositories, then using it to install another package is easier than just installing the in-repository Flash package? huh.
[04:14] <xttaetg> 您还未安装sopcast和PPLive 程序，所以GMLive还不能支持它们。
[04:14] <xttaetg> 请您安装以上程序。谢谢。
[04:14] <swim> hey, does anybody know how to change kompozer's split view to include all the file's source code instead of just the currently selected element??
[04:14] <tony-ubuntu> saludos desde venezuela
[04:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubottu: tell rofflecoptor about fsck
[04:14] <rww> ubottu: cn | xttaetg
[04:15] <IdleOne> !cn | xttaetg
[04:15] <angbermu> sl33k_: same for flash
[04:15] <Ed_Money> how do i get the count of the number of files in a directory through tty?
[04:15] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, could not find image kernel: linux
[04:15] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, I'm in troublessss!!!
[04:15] <IdleOne> !es | tony-ubuntu
[04:15] <yxz97> !language | tony-ubuntu
[04:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: How rather odd.
[04:15] <zeviroksz> hello. I need help to open this mde files in ubuntu...
[04:15] <rww> yxz97: That's not what !language is for.
[04:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Don't abuse the bot please.
[04:15] <avelldiroll> rio_: you can fetch it yourself : http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/php5-mysql
[04:15] <_jesse_> Ed_Money: ls -l | wc -l
[04:15] <IdleOne> SpaceGhostC2C: is he set to boot from USB in bios?
[04:15] <yxz97> IdleOne, yes....
[04:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> IdleOne: Oh wait. He did say his ubuntu was borked.
[04:16] <Ed_Money> _jesse_: thanks much
[04:16] <iRabbit> |NX|1: Wubi is a great concept for end users who are Windows dependent.... however it is very buggy.  The sameone?
[04:16] <firewaterburnz> appologies once again for the paste...does anyone know what might cause http://paste.ubuntu.com/534772/ when trying to do a make command on a driver?
[04:16] <IdleOne> yxz97: right, sorry :)
[04:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> s/sameone/same one/
[04:16] <Jordan_U> |NX|1: It looks like a problem downloading the iso. You can probably work around it by downloading the iso yourself and putting it in the same directory as the wubi executeable.
[04:16] <yxz97> IdleOne, no problem, but help me!
[04:16] <rofflecoptor> SpaceGhostC2C it says 'No manual entry for fsk'
[04:16] <yxz97> IdleOne, :S
[04:16] <FloodBot3> yxz97: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: fsck then?
[04:17] <sl33k_> is gnu gnash also required?
[04:17] <_jesse_> Ed_Money: ls -la | wc -l if you want to count hidden files :) make sure to subtract two for the 'special' . and .. files
[04:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> sl33k_: No
[04:17] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, could not find image kernel: linux
[04:17] <IdleOne> yxz97: SpaceGhostC2C is trying, let him try and get this worked out with you. just need to be patient a bit.
[04:17] <yxz97> this one! SpaceGhostC2C
[04:17] <Ronaldlo> Can I boot off of a thumb drive with yaboot? Ubuntu PPC port
[04:17] <yxz97> IdleOne, yeah sorry
[04:17] <yxz97> its weird this error, I mean...
[04:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: So, if you boot from the ubuntu on the hard drive, then you get a "could not find image kernel: linux" ?
[04:17] <yxz97> linux image kernel, wtf...
[04:17] <yxz97> sorry!
[04:17] <yxz97> :S
[04:18] <Jordan_U> Ronaldlo: You should be able to, yes. I'm guessing that you're asking because it isn't working for you though :)
[04:18] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, exactly I mean that is what is being reading from the USB drive
[04:18] <IdleOne> Ronaldlo: might try asking in #ubuntu-ppc, it is a small channel and might be quiet at the moment.
[04:18] <yxz97> could be Unetbootin buggy?
[04:18] <Ronaldlo> Jordan_U: I'm asking because I have no idea how I would.
[04:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: It's possible that it is.
[04:18] <yxz97> I would like format this partition.
[04:18] <Ronaldlo> IdleOne: I tried once, everyone idle
[04:19] <yxz97> okok, unetbootin is not good in this work
[04:19] <Jordan_U> yxz97: Are you running unetbootin from Ubuntu or from windows?
[04:19] <IdleOne> Ronaldlo: try reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[04:19] <yxz97> Jordan_U, ubuntu I said before mate
[04:19] <SpaceGhostC2C> IdleOne: What a wiki title!
[04:20] <tibman> hello?
[04:20] <yxz97> how can I format /dev/sdb1 p?
[04:20] <yxz97> from cli
[04:20] <yxz97> partition
[04:20] <Ronaldlo> IdleOne: I'm not dual booting. I got rid of osX completely
[04:20] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: fdisk or my favorite cfdisk
[04:20] <Jordan_U> yxz97: You might want to try using grub2 instead.
[04:20] <rio_> avelldiroll: thanks a world! but i have windows7 how can i open these.deb files?
[04:20] <IdleOne> Ronaldlo: still the guide might be helpful
[04:20] <tibman> my favorite way to formatt is gparted
[04:20] <Ed_Money> how can I combine all files in a directory in one file?
[04:21] <yxz97> Jordan_U, yeah but let give a second change to unetbootin.. SpaceGhostC2C are we out of ideas?
[04:21] <yxz97> or I need try grub2? SpaceGhostC2C :S
[04:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> Jordan_U: would it work to boot an ISO with grub2 in order to reinstall ubuntu on the partition the iso is on?
[04:21] <Ronaldlo> IdleOne: reading it now
[04:21] <firewaterburnz> I am new to the art of using the 'make' command. does anyone know what might cause http://paste.ubuntu.com/534772/ when trying to do a make command on a driver?
[04:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: It's just sort of an odd problem.
[04:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> firewaterburnz: Did you install the build-essential package?
[04:21] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, I bet you man...
[04:21] <rofflecoptor> SpaceGhostC2C I typed sudo shutdown -F -r now and its kinda just hanging out now
[04:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: And you set your bios to boot from the USB first, right?
[04:21] <Jordan_U> SpaceGhostC2C: Yes, as long as you have enough RAM (> 1 GiB) to use the "toram" kernel parameter.
[04:21] <tibman> i have an ancient lappy with  pIII 900mhz and less than a half gig of ram, any recommend a full featured distro that will run semi descent on it?
[04:22] <firewaterburnz> no spaceghost let me check to se if its installed
[04:22] <jaoziN> hi
[04:22] <yxz97> Jordan_U, rules! :D
[04:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: shutdown -h is pretty snazzy.
[04:22] <yxz97> hehehe
[04:22] <kittkatt1> Hello, is anyone out there using a PCE-N13 wifi card?
[04:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> Jordan_U: Oh, I wasn't sure if it loaded it into ram.
[04:22] <avelldiroll> rio_: you do realise this an ubuntu support channel ??? ... i do not use windows ... out of the blue i would suggest 7zip but i have no certitude what so ever
[04:22] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, yeah is booting from USB
[04:22] <rofflecoptor> i can't type anything
[04:22] <IdleOne> tibman: lubuntu
[04:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: That's a very good idea.
[04:22] <jaoziN> help
[04:22] <yxz97> I will double check in  minute when I reboot again just to confirm it is the way it has to be
[04:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> jaoziN: Ask your question.
[04:22] <yxz97> :S
[04:22] <tibman> idleone, thanks ill give that a shot
[04:22] <iRabbit> !help
[04:22] <Jordan_U> SpaceGhostC2C: It doesn't by default, you need to manually add "toram" to the list of kernel parameters.
[04:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: Okay. :)
[04:23] <SpaceGhostC2C> Jordan_U: Oh that would be the reason why. :)
[04:23] <jaoziN> my wifi not find network
[04:23] <firewaterburnz> it looks like its already installed spaceghost, I will try to reinstall and see what happens
[04:23] <jaoziN> Atheros AR5001
[04:23] <yxz97> ok, now?
[04:23] <nit-wit> iRabbit, spit it out man whats the problem
[04:23] <rofflecoptor> SpaceGhostC2C is it supposed to be doing something right now?
[04:24] <iRabbit> nit-wit: mistype / wrong chan
[04:24] <yxz97> how use fdisk? SpaceGhostC2C
[04:24] <nit-wit> iRabbit, okay
[04:24] <yxz97> Jordan_U, ok, man tell me..
[04:24] <yxz97> Jordan_U, how can I do this put it to work
[04:24] <jaoziN> please help-me
[04:24] <jaoziN> my wireless network not find network
[04:24] <yxz97> SpaceGhostC2C, how I format with fdisk /dev/sdb1 ?
[04:25] <Gnea> !wifi | jaoziN
[04:25] <firewaterburnz> no I am afraid that did not quite do it, but ty for the suggestion spaceghost, I welcome any more ideas
[04:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> yxz97: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/fdisk.8.html
[04:25] <nit-wit> jaoziN, do you see other networks?
[04:25] <|NX|1> Jordan_U: I've tried downloading the ISO
[04:25] <|NX|1> and putting it in the same directory
[04:25] <|NX|1> I've tried using the iso on the disc
[04:25] <AbhiJit> hi
[04:25] <|NX|1> neither work :(
[04:25] <AbhiJit> how to change language settings?
[04:25] <jaoziN> not
[04:25] <st__> |NX|1, try to mount ISO and take wubi from there
[04:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> firewaterburnz: There wasn't any more error information outpu besides those four lines?
[04:26] <hal> does anyone know of a program that allows you to see what files other software is opening, for debugging purposes?
[04:26] <Jordan_U> yxz97: First create a "boot/grub/" directory on the flash drive and in that directory create a grub.cfg file containing an entry as explained here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg
[04:26] <IdleOne> AbhiJit: you mean !locales maybe?
[04:26] <Jordan_U> hal: "lsof"
[04:26] <firewaterburnz> no errors, but about 3 pages of make information running
[04:26] <|NX|1> st__: tried that
[04:26] <firewaterburnz> then the errors
[04:26] <jaoziN> nit-wit: not
[04:26] <firewaterburnz> then nothing
[04:26] <AbhiJit> IdleOne, amm actually i instlled maverick in vm with our indian local language. but now i want it in english
[04:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> firewaterburnz: Perhaps you could give us as much of that as possible.
[04:26] <jaoziN> nit-wit: wlan0     No scan results
[04:26] <rofflecoptor> man it isn't working
[04:26] <nit-wit> jaoziN,  look at the link that was given for trouble shooting , maybe try the Ubuntu Forums as well
[04:27] <firewaterburnz> ok will do
[04:27] <IdleOne> !locales > AbhiJit
[04:27] <hal> Jordan_U: ok, cool - thank you :)
[04:27] <AbhiJit> ok
[04:27] <rofflecoptor> i keep getting the same errors
[04:27] <Jordan_U> hal: You're welcome.
[04:27] <Jordan_U> yxz97: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[04:27] <jaoziN> nit-wit: thank

[04:27] <blackshirt1> !wubi

[04:27] <Jordan_U> yxz97: Or, more importantly, what is the output of "grub-install --version"?

[04:28] <lithpr> hi!  i am trying to get multiple desktop wallpapers on 10.10.  however, when i add the compiz-extras, and wallpapers, my desktop doesn't refresh properly.  Anyone get this to work in 10.10.  I've done it before in 9.10 & 10.04 w/o problems
[04:29] <IdleOne> use the /msg to search :)
[04:29] <SpaceGhostC2C> sl33k_: restart your browser after installing flash.

[04:29] <SpaceGhostC2C> xttaetg: Pastebin.
[04:29] <Jordan_U> |NX|1: The fastest way to figure out why wubi isn't working is probably to file a bug report.
[04:29] <juk> AbhiJit: you have drag language on the top iirc
[04:29] <firewaterburnz> okay here is what I get when I try to run it again http://paste.ubuntu.com/534778/
[04:29] <rww> SpaceGhostC2C: FloodBots are quicker than you :(
[04:30] <SpaceGhostC2C> firewaterburnz: Don't use sudo.
[04:30] <firewaterburnz> k let me try that
[04:30] <SpaceGhostC2C> rww: Go chat in #u-ot where librarians are welcome. :(
[04:30] <git__> is there a speed difference b/w intel and amd chip?
[04:30] <SpaceGhostC2C> firewaterburnz: the usual is: configure; make; sudo make install;
[04:30] <git__> i'm thinking of buying a thinkpad edge to install ubuntu 10.10 on it
[04:30] <DrManhattan> you mean at comparable clockspeed/cores?
[04:30] <DrManhattan> Not really
[04:30] <DrManhattan> intel has more cache
[04:31] <SpaceGhostC2C> DrManhattan: True that.
[04:31] <Lazerath> ok so i think i updated now i cannot boot ubuntu
[04:31] <DrManhattan> AMD supposedly handles VM a lot better, but I havent messed with it
[04:31] <DrManhattan> and is obvioulsy more cost-effective
[04:31] <lithpr> has anyone got different wallpapers per desktop working on 10.10?
[04:31] <Lazerath> none of the kernals in re
[04:31] <Lazerath> none of the krenals in the boot list
[04:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> lithpr: Look at compizconfig-settings-manager ?
[04:32] <firewaterburnz> what is configure and how do I use it?
[04:32] <lithpr> yeah, i've messed w/ that for a half hour.  is flaking out :)
[04:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> firewaterburnz: is there a configure script in the source directory top level?
[04:32] <git__> does it anyone know if the AMD supports "VT" ?
[04:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> git__: This is on the amd wiki page on wikipedia.
[04:32] <lithpr> just want to know if anyone has it working.
[04:33] <rofflecoptor> kk this is where I'm at still http://pastebin.com/SFZMS9R6
[04:33] <SpaceGhostC2C> lithpr: I have before.
[04:33] <lithpr> git_ most do
[04:33] <git__> AMD Athlon II X2 Dual-Core P340
[04:33] <lithpr> on 10.10?
[04:33] <rofflecoptor> i don't know what to do anymore :,(
[04:33] <avelldiroll> git__: not VT but amd-v, the counterpart tech from amd
[04:33] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: run this: make clean
[04:33] <firewaterburnz> maybe no just a makefile
[04:33] <rww> xttaetg: FloodBot is not sentient.
[04:33] <git__> i don't want to buy a thinkpad edge to not have Ubuntu 10.10 work on it
[04:33] <firewaterburnz>  no just a makefile
[04:33] <rofflecoptor> make: *** No rule to make target 'clean'. Stop.
[04:33] <lithpr> the athlon IIs support virtualization
[04:33] <AbhiJit> juk,  ok will try that
[04:33] <SpaceGhostC2C> rofflecoptor: Oh sorry one sec.
[04:34] <lithpr> unlike intel, which are hit and miss
