[21:14] <deserteagle> gdiz x11 is the program that displays stuff, essentially
[21:15] <munley> NOT because I am lazy!! but becasue that's computer's job, not my job
[21:15] <deserteagle> munley, use a MAC
[21:15] <deserteagle> or windows
[21:15] <deserteagle> linux is NOT for you
[21:15] <munley> it says " Permission DENY"
[21:15] <n8tuser> gdiz you were not really clear on what problem you are trying to solve. can you elaborate once more please?
[21:15] <gdiz> deserteagle, does it display stuff on the client computer or on the server computer
[21:15] <deserteagle> linux is for people who don't mind spending HOURS trying to get something to work
[21:15] <DryGrain> hrm
[21:15] <deserteagle> gdiz, huh? o.O
[21:15] <drart> Is there someway to connect my Logitech Webcam in Ubuntu ?
[21:15] <munley> it says " You are not the onwner " so so funny, then who is using the computer now?????
[21:15] <DryGrain> !xrandr | DryGrain
[21:15] <deserteagle> gdiz it'll display on which ever PC it's running on
[21:16] <drart> i'm in the right place for this kind of doubts ? :)
[21:16] <deserteagle> drart: yup, check the forums
[21:16] <foo> I ran apt-get update and upgrade yesterday... and now rkhunter is throwing a warning for sulogin, adduser, and last. Why? I'm pretty sure it started doing this after the apt-get update and upgrade...
[21:16] <munley> it says " You are NOT the owner so you cannot copy files / delete files:" So so so so funny
[21:16] <Wandar> hi :)
[21:16] <deserteagle> drart, it should be plug and play unless you've modified the install
[21:16] <munley> Who is the person log in with correct password and using the Ubuntu now?????
[21:16] <DryGrain> munley, log in as root
[21:16] <deserteagle> i'm adding munley to my ignore list, forget him
[21:16] <munley> and Ubuntu just won't let you!!! damn!!! YES I tried root tooo
[21:17] <DryGrain> sudo su
[21:17] <AMorozov> DryGrain: as far as I remember correctly, Ubuntu doesn't allow to *lo gin* as root :)
[21:17] <Wandar> i just wanted to tell the dev team that everytime i use the live cd it resets my system clock to GMT (i live in australia) where should i do that?
[21:17] <n8tuser> AMorozov -> wrong ..
[21:17] <AMorozov> So he should use sudo bash :)
[21:17] <munley> i even try kgesomeshit Nautilus
[21:17] <DryGrain> well you can sudo su to get root
[21:17] <munley> says it will give you FULLY POWER to do whatever you want, it is LIE
[21:17] <DryGrain> sure
[21:18] <munley> LIE LIE LIE
[21:18] <DryGrain> i have a shortcut to a root terminal
[21:18] <DryGrain> munley stop trolling
[21:18] <DryGrain> do you need help or do you want to yell and froth at the mouth
[21:18] <munley> sad......
[21:18] <deserteagle> o_O? i added munley to ignore list, yet i still see his chat
[21:18] <DryGrain> hes hacking you deserteagle
[21:18] <munley> spent those hours jsut to copy a file, and it failed
[21:18] <DryGrain> :/
[21:18] <ZykoticK9> DryGrain, munley "sudo -i" is the Ubuntu way to get a root terminal FYI
[21:18] <deserteagle> ah! there we go
[21:19] <deserteagle> muuuch more quiet
[21:19] <munley> i did sudo -i
[21:19] <munley> I did everything I google
[21:19] <ChaoticXSinZ> Anyone know why the gstreamer-ffmpeg in the repos doesn't have mpeg4 support?
[21:19] <radioman-lt> did you know, google invent: gsudo ;}
[21:19] <munley> I even let a us very nice young man to log in to my PC, it failed
[21:19] <deserteagle> so anyways, anyone here used the scrobbler plugin for xmms/audacious?
[21:19] <munley> a very pro US young man
[21:19] <dan45> Hi. Is it Ubuntu channel?
[21:20] <deserteagle> dan45, yup
[21:20] <munley> he is pro but he is busy, he can't be out there help me all day
[21:20] <fsancho> hi all
[21:20] <kostkon> dan45, yeap
[21:20] <deserteagle> hello!
[21:20] <munley> everybody got jobs to do
[21:20] <bastidrazor> munley: if you're using nautilus you won't be using kdesudo..
[21:20] <gdiz> n8tuser, okay here is what I am trying to achieve (sorry for the confusion), I have an ubuntu box hooked up to my TV.  I also have a macbook pro with os x.  Now, I want to use the ubuntu box (in part) as a media center that I can remotely control with my macbook pro.  So, I know how to use vnc. But, I'd really like to just have some way that I can use shell scripts to control hulu on the ubuntu box to be a little more minimal.  does
[21:20] <dan45> Hi... I need a private chat help, regards partitioning Ubuntu before install
[21:20] <bastidrazor> munley: also if the drive mounted as read only you will not be able to write to it regardless of what you do. you would need to remount it with mount permissions
[21:20] <deserteagle> gdiz, ooooh i get it now
[21:20] <munley> I try evyerthing I could to ...... just
[21:21] <munley> I am so tried
[21:21] <epinky> munley: take it easy man
[21:21] <deserteagle> gdiz, what you need is: x11vnc
[21:21] <munley> Did you people read this page yet??? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1177336
[21:21] <foo> I ran apt-get update and upgrade yesterday... and now rkhunter is throwing a warning for sulogin, adduser, and last. Why? I'm pretty sure it started doing this after the apt-get update and upgrade...
[21:21] <munley> You must understand, FAT16 / 32 can't handle any file over 4GB
[21:21] <gdiz> deserteagle, what is that?
[21:22] <deserteagle> gdiz, first: log onto ubuntu box through ssh. second: launch x11vnc. third: launch a vnc viewer from your macbook and log in to the ubuntu box
[21:22] <munley> so I partitions it as GPT and APT once, and try go get a file which is 4.2GB on Ubuntu
[21:22] <deserteagle> gdiz, easy as heck, i do it all the time
[21:22] <munley> Ubuntu just won't let you copy
[21:22] <n8tuser> gdiz yes you can use ssh to log in an control the remote ubuntu,   once logged in, you can use scripts to control the ubuntu
[21:22] <dan45> I have a 500GB HDD, how to partition it properly, and do I need to make all 5 separate partitions?
[21:22] <munley> I am very sure it's NOT read ONLY
[21:22] <deserteagle> dan45: nope
[21:23] <munley> or why else I could copy the same USB back and forth?
[21:23] <sync3times> dan45, is this a desktop or a server
[21:23] <deserteagle> dan45, bare minimum is 3 partitions
[21:23] <munley> it's all aobut the permission things
[21:23] <dan45> desktop
[21:23] <inspiron630> i need some help with STL map. I get the following error: http://codepad.org/nITMuVFS
[21:23] <ZykoticK9> munley, instead of "chmod u+rw /media/iomega/Iomega\ HDD" use "chmod ugo+rw /media/iomega/Iomega\ HDD"
[21:23] <dan45> ...2 users
[21:23] <sync3times> minimum is one partition
[21:23] <deserteagle> dan45, /boot, / and swap
[21:23] <gdiz> deserteagle, I can do the vnc thing from my macbook pro.  But, I would really like to write an applescript that does a shell script along the lines of "ssh ubuntubox run firefox and open hulu webpage in fullscreen"
[21:23] <munley> if Ubuntu is what it says to be, for common people to use, for oridional people to use, why make it so difficult to copy a file???
[21:23] <ZykoticK9> munley, actually correction!  use "chmod u+rwx /media/iomega/Iomega\ HDD"
[21:23] <deserteagle> gdiz, i see... let me think
[21:24] <munley> okay, I will try
[21:24] <vistro> Can I get help on a logon problem?
[21:24] <blendmaster1024> hello, all. i am trying to make my broadcom card work, does anybody know what the broadcom driver is called in 9.04?
[21:24] <sumeetbali> anyone own a HP Laptop T4300?
[21:24] <ZykoticK9> munley, sorry !! mistake #2 use this one "chmod ugo+rwx /media/iomega/Iomega\ HDD"
[21:24] <blendmaster1024> what is the module called that is
[21:24] <munley> not iomega
[21:25] <dan45> deserteagle: On https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/installation-guide/amd64/apcs03.html I can't find an info what's /boot
[21:25] <blendmaster1024> ahem, name of broadcom driver?
[21:25] <ZykoticK9> munley, where is it mounted right now?  type "mount" in a terminal if you don't know
[21:25] <munley> chmod: cannot access `/media/16gb': No such file or directory
[21:25] <eremite> I have a screen resolution problem. I only get 600x800 as highest resolution, but I can add more resolutions via terminal.  In the user Display GUI there si no option for higher than 600x800, even after I change it higher manually.  I edited xorg.config file to detect the resolutions but no luck.  Ive seen other people with this problem. I have to change resolutions with 5 lines of code in terminal each time I log in. HELP!
[21:25] <deserteagle> gdiz, opening the ssh tunnel and launching ff to hulu shouldn't be a problem, as to the fullscreen thing, maybe it's an option when launching ff?
[21:26] <deserteagle> dan45, it's the first partition of the harddrive
[21:26] <vistro> Are these messages even getting through?
[21:26] <deserteagle> dan45, it'll be what the program that starts ubuntu sees first.... as a matter of fact, the only thing
[21:27] <deserteagle> vistro, yes, they're getting through, however i don't know the solution to your problem and am busy helping someone else
[21:27] <n8tuser> gdiz yes you can use ssh to log in an control the remote ubuntu,   once logged in, you can use scripts to control the ubuntu <-- have you done this ?
[21:27] <AMorozov> eremite: you may put all suitable resolutions right into /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:27] <inspiron630> how do i do array indexing on a map if its a pointer?  myMap[5] = "hi"  but if myMap is a pointer it doesn't work
[21:27] <puppetmaster_> Is there a program that I give him plain text and it gives me ASCII coded draw ?
[21:27] <gdiz> deserteagle, maybe...I read on the hulu webpage that if you type certain things it goes into fullscreen or pauses or whatever
[21:27] <deserteagle> i wouldn't be surprised
[21:28] <deserteagle> i gtg, but definitely check out xkeyboard
[21:28] <sync3times> eremite, is there horizontal and vertical refresh ranges specified in your xorg.conf ?
[21:28] <Jeruvy> vistro: try asking your question in full, then if any one can answer they will.
[21:28] <skyl> I have three harddrives on this machine, each of which has ubuntu.  I think  they are sda, sdb and sdc .... I'm about to reformat and go over the entire sdb dirve with an ext4 and a swap partition ... it says that the swap drives on sda and sdc are going to be formatted even thohugh I specified only partitions on sdb to be formatted.
[21:28] <skyl> this is normal and okay?
[21:28] <deserteagle> gdiz, i know for a fact it lets you emulate keystrokes from the command line (from ssh)
[21:28] <AMorozov> eremite: it's a bit "hardcore" way nowadays, but it still works if possible resolutions autodetection doesn't work for your hardware...
[21:28] <n8tuser> skyl nope
[21:28] <Wandaround> helolo?
[21:28] <gdiz> n8tuser, I can log into the computer via ssh and do things via ssh, but I have absolutely no idea how to interact with the gui that way
[21:28] <dan45> deserteagle, on some video tutorial, some guy (Alan Pope) made such with 42GB HDD: / = 10GB, /home = 30GB, swap = 2GB... is it right?
[21:28] <Wandaround> hello too
[21:28] <vistro> After patching up Ubuntu, and Installing Edubuntu-desktop, when a user is created, it gets one login. Then it's useless
[21:28] <vistro> It acts like it will log in, but it goes right back to the logon scren
[21:29] <sync3times> gdiz, gui works across ssh
[21:29] <Wandaround> may i ask a question?
[21:29] <acicula> gdiz: log in using the -X flag, lets you start gui aps remotely
[21:29] <vistro> the best I can do is a terminal by using xterm session
[21:29] <vistro> .xsession-errors does not tell anything useful

[21:29] <ZykoticK9> munley, yes?
[21:29] <Wandaround> hi there
[21:29] <munley> zykotick9
[21:29] <dan45> is there a private chat support available?
[21:29] <Wandaround> nice channel
[21:29] <Wandaround> great chat
[21:29] <munley> zykotick9, guide me if you would
[21:29] <Wandaround> hi there
[21:29] <Wandaround> hello
[21:30] <dan45> hi
[21:30] <Wandaround> anyone going to respond?
[21:30] <FloodBot2> Wandaround: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:30] <n8tuser> dan45 -> are you willing to pay?
[21:30] <gdiz> yeah but I think if I can make it imitate a keystroke in the gui (like type f in firefox) that will put it in fullscreen
[21:30] <munley> what do I do?
[21:30] <Wandaround> not flooding just trying to get a response
[21:30] <trism> gdiz: generally you can export DISPLAY=:0.0 or whatever the display of your logged in user is, but as of karmic you need to set XAUTHORITY too because it has moved from the default location of ~/.Xauthority
[21:30] <Iowan> Wanderer: What would you like
[21:30] <ZykoticK9> munley, you need to know what the mount point of your drive is.  in a terminal type "mount"
[21:30] <Wandaround> i just wanted to tell the dev team that everytime i use the live cd it resets my system clock to GMT (i live in australia) where should i do that?
[21:30] <munley> My USB is partitioned and formated by Mac with GPT and HPS+
[21:30] <munley> Ubuntu can read files from it, but cannot copy files into it
[21:31] <Jeruvy> Wandaround: if the bots say your flooding, your flooding.  You should perhaps try in #ubuntu-devs, thats where they hang out.
[21:31] <skyl> swap should be a primaryy partition?
[21:31] <munley> What do I do???
[21:31] <gdiz> hey everyone, I am really new to ubuntu and unix so could you explain things like you are talking to a 3 year old... :-)
[21:31] <acicula> munley:use fat on usb sticks like every one else ?
[21:31] <vistro> but of course nobody has an answer to this problem... perhaps these releases need a tad more testing before they are commited
[21:31] <enrique> what?
[21:31] <enrique> hola
[21:31] <enrique> xD
[21:31] <Wandaround> thank you very much jeruvy :)
[21:31] <munley> /dev/sda4 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[21:31] <munley> proc on /proc type proc (rw)
[21:31] <munley> none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[21:31] <munley> none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
[21:31] <munley> none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
[21:31] <FloodBot2> munley: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:31] <munley> none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
[21:31] <n8tuser> gdiz go to your room and drink your milk.. hehehe
[21:31] <ZykoticK9> munley, ya - i'm not surprised and using Unix chmod is NOT going to help you.  switch to FAT/NTFS or better yet EXT3/4.  Best of luck man.
[21:31] <AMorozov> munley: are you sure that it has support for writing HFS+ filesystem?
[21:31] <gdiz> n8tuser :-p
[21:31] <epinky> skyl: yes, it's better
[21:32] <hacknslash> gdiz, what do u want to know
[21:32] <Wandaround> errrr that channel is empty, next guess?
[21:32] <skyl> location for new partition, beginning or end
[21:32] <n8tuser> gdiz scripting is not for 3 year olds
[21:32] <AMorozov> ZykoticK9: probably ext* and NTFS isn't a best filesystem for a flash drive
[21:32] <skyl> I'm using the whole drive for 1 ext4 and 1 swap
[21:32] <acicula> skyl: doesnt really matter
[21:32] <munley> Zykotick9 AMorozow : you don't understanbd, I need to copy files between Mac and Ubuntu
[21:32] <Jeruvy> Wandaround: sorry #ubuntu-dev
[21:32] <AMorozov> munley: I do understand.
[21:32] <acicula> skyl: most systems hardly use swap these days, desktops that is
[21:32] <skyl> acicula, i can set them both to beginning?
[21:32] <gdiz> n8tuser, I lied, I know a little more than that, I can do some basic stuff
[21:32] <Wandaround> ah thats it :)
[21:32] <munley> Then why woulndn't ubuntu let me?
[21:33] <Wandaround> thanks very much!
[21:33] <AMorozov> I simply do not know if ubuntu (and Linux as whole) has support for writing files to HFS+
[21:33] <acicula> skyl: well they cant be in the same place
[21:33] <skyl> indeed, never swap! that's my motto
[21:33] <trism> gdiz: before karmic through ssh you could just run a command like DISPLAY=:0.0 firefox www.hulu.com through ssh and firefox would launch on the other display, but since .Xauthority is now located in /var/run/gdm/something-yourusername/database you have to do a bit more work
[21:33] <vistro> How do I make a user last for more than 1 logon?
[21:33] <damjanzg> they cant read HFS
[21:33] <n8tuser> gdiz right, so figure out how to script hulu .. dont know if it uses bash, python, javascript or what not.. so you need to dig up what it uses
[21:33] <vistro> Are accounts on Ubuntu supposed to be disposable?
[21:33] <ZykoticK9> AMorozov, ya - once i saw he was using Mac i just through out all the "reasonable" posibilities (and i think FAT/NTFS would "probably" be better for Mac interoperability then ext3/4)
[21:33] <skyl> so I can make my ext4, beginning and my swap end .. should be good?
[21:33] <munley> I cannot use FAT32, because a 4.2GB file cannot be save on my 16GB USB stick
[21:33] <munley> Amorozov
[21:34] <radioman-lt> use ntfs
[21:34] <n8tuser> or NFS
[21:34] <skyl> vistro, "make a user last" does not compute ... maybe Dong Chong Xia Tsou?
[21:34] <munley> Zykotick9 AMorozow : the problem is, the partition ways of Ubuntu is not standard
[21:34] <munley> I am so fed up with this
[21:34] <vistro> How do I make a user that will work for more than one logon?
[21:35] <n8tuser> munley drop the attitude please, you dont know what you are mumbling about
[21:35] <gdiz> hacknslash, what I am trying to do is log in via ssh to an ubuntu box (I can do that part), run a shell script that basically tells the ubuntu box to open firefox, navigate to hulu or youtube, and play a video (I think I can make firefox play a video if I can imitate keystrokes, ie. type "f" in firefox)
[21:35] <Chousuke> vistro: they should be that way by default :|
[21:35] <trism> gdiz: my solution was to add xterm -c xauth extract $HOME/.Xauthority $DISPLAY to System/Preferences/Startup Applications, and then it is automatically copied back to .Xauthority when you log in, and you can use just set the display and launch things through ssh
[21:35] <gdiz> n8tuser, okay, I'll go do my homework and see what I find out
[21:35] <Iowan> vistro:  Can you check passwd file to see if users are there
[21:35] <munley> n8tuser, nope, you don't know what ubuntu is really about
[21:36] <munley> as I said, computer is supposed to help people, not blocking people
[21:36] <n8tuser> !ops | munley
[21:36] <Chousuke> munley: If you want to copy files between both systems, you need a filesystem that both support.
[21:36] <hacknslash> gdiz, try reading up about curl
[21:36] <epinky> munley: why don't you use network file copying (scp, sftp) ?
[21:36] <vistro> Oh, they are there, and I cna log in to them, without authentication faulure, but it acts like it will log in, and then it puts me right back into the logoon screen. this is after installing edubuntu and patching the system
[21:36] <Chousuke> munley: or you can copy over the network
[21:36] <egle> hello, I have severe problems with network manager and dsl on Karmic, could please, please anyone help me
[21:36] <skyl> sdb1 is /, sdb2 is swap ... / is set to format ... but then it says that partition #5 of SCSI5, sda as swap will be formatted
[21:37] <munley> ............
[21:37] <n8tuser> egle  what have you done so far?
[21:37] <skyl> and sdc partition #5 too
[21:37] <Chousuke> munley: if you want to use a USB drive, format it as NTFS
[21:37] <skyl> "as swap"
[21:37] <Chousuke> munley: that's supported by both Ubuntu and OS X (via NTFS-3g)
[21:37] <munley> NTFS is windows
[21:37] <munley> I don't use windows
[21:37] <Chousuke> munley: that doesn't matter. the only other option is FAT32
[21:37] <munley> windows is a joke
[21:37] <Chousuke> munley: you don't need windows.
[21:37] <vistro> removing edubuntu-desktop and reinstalling ubuntu-desktop didn't help a bit
[21:38] <jpds> munley: No, it's an operating system.
[21:38] <egle> I was trying to connect dsl using pppoeconf, no luck, now all my prefs on networkmanager has gone, it says I have no control on device
[21:38] <munley> as I say million times, FAT32 doesn't support 4gb
[21:38] <Chousuke> munley: install ntfsprogs and you will be able to create ntfs filesystems
[21:38] <dvheumen> Hey everyone. I'm trying to fix the root partition using fsck. But how can I safely scan (and fix) when I'm booted into Ubuntu? ... I'm looking on google atm but I can't find anything ... I'm looking for a way to mount / read-only ...
[21:38] <munley> as I say million times, FAT32 doesn't support 4gb file, my flie happend to be 4.2GBBBBBB
[21:38] <calwig> anyone know about PGP?
[21:38] <egle> n8tuser, I was trying to connect dsl using pppoeconf, no luck, now all my prefs on networkmanager has gone, it says I have no control on device
[21:38] <Chousuke> munley: which is why you need to use NTFS! :P
[21:38] <gdiz> trism, I am a little confused, what does that command achieve and what does xauthority refer to
[21:38] <munley> Why is this happening to me????
[21:38] <jpds> Chousuke: I'm pretty sure ext3 works on Mac... as it's based on Unix.
[21:38] <Iowan> egle: Did something get put in /etc/network/interfaces?
[21:38] <Chousuke> jpds: it doesn't.
[21:39] <skyl> sdc5 and sda5 are already swap ... I guess it doesn't hurt if the install disk wants to reformat them?
[21:39] <acicula> munley: is the usb device mounted in rw mode or just r?
[21:39] <n8tuser> egle why pppoe ? any other alternatives? whats is your dsl modem/router?
[21:39] <Chousuke> jpds: or well. ext2 does. with an external driver
[21:39] <Juzman> Anyone notice since latest updates for Lucid that their image transparency is broke?
[21:39] <munley> acicula, how to know rw or r????
[21:39] <bastidrazor> munley: then use ext2/3/4 .. mac reads those fs's no problem
[21:39] <egle> Iowan, I dont know
[21:39] <Juzman> It could be the intel drivers though.
[21:39] <calwig> Hi, anyone know pgp?

[21:39] <Chousuke> bastidrazor: only ext3/2
[21:39] <Jeruvy> Juzman: ask in #ubuntu+1 for lucid thanks.
[21:39] <enapupe> Hello! Any way to ALT TAB and Drag&Drop??
[21:39] <egle> n8tuser, no, there's no other alternative this time
[21:39] <Chousuke> bastidrazor: ext4 is not necessarily backwards-compatbile
[21:39] <Chousuke> compatible*

[21:40] <n8tuser> egle  whats is your dsl modem/router? how does your ISP as in type to allow your connection?
[21:40] <munley> slow down
[21:40] <Chousuke> oh, HFS will do as well it seems. Last time I checked, it wasn't read/write on Linux
[21:40] <Juzman> Jeruvy: My bad.
[21:40] <Chousuke> I guess it is now.
[21:40] <phoenixz> Hi there, Im on Kubuntu 9.10, my dad is on the other side of the world on ubuntu 8.10.. I want to help him but its very very difficult to explain him some things, I would like to use something like VNC or something alike to take a look on his desktop, but Im behind a NAT fireall, and so is he.. How can I, somehow, connect to his computer? Even just SSH would do..
[21:41] <phoenixz> For now we're interchanging screencaptures and stuff, but its not really workable
[21:41] <acicula> phoenixz: get him to forward a port from his router to his pc
[21:41] <Jeruvy> Juzman: no worries.
[21:41] <trism> gdiz: xauthority is the magic code the gives you permission to launch x applications on a display, when you log in it is copied in karmic to /var/run/gdm/etc...this extracts the authorization back to the default location...otherwise you would need to set the XAUTHORITY enviroment variable to the correct location, which might be a bit more work
[21:41] <johan_bluecreek> I am totally confused over how hal works. I'm trying to get the 2-finger tap on the touchpad to register as a middlebutton click. However I do not know how to do this! None of the input devices in lshal is my touchpad, so what makes it work!?
[21:41] <phoenixz> acicula: That would require him to do something complex.. I'd have to explain him.. hhmmm, let me ask him what router he has...
[21:41] <acicula> forwarded port on his pc has to have a service, port on the router can be your pick, mind you this gives everyone a chance to connect tehre
[21:41] <munley> give me the command again plz
[21:41] <skyl> ah, a fresh install of karmic on the way :D
[21:41] <calwig> Once I encrypt a PGP message, it sits on my desktop   as file.pgp. But I cant view the file. I would like to see it but the file viewer doesnt allow me. How can I view it as a text, even if it is ASCII
[21:42] <acicula> munley: mount ?
[21:42] <munley> mount yes i did many times
[21:42] <acicula> munley: you can read it yes?
[21:42] <AMorozov> now to read its output
[21:42] <egle> anyone ^^
[21:42] <jpds> calwig: gpg --decrypt <filename>
[21:42] <munley> Can I paste them to you?
[21:42] <acicula> yeah but either pm or use pastebin
[21:42] <munley> Can I paste them heree??
[21:42] <acicula> no
[21:42] <acicula> !pastebin
[21:42] <gdiz> trism thank you
[21:43] <vistro> How do I uninstall edubuntu completley?
[21:43] <calwig> jpds, sure, but I would like to see the file before decryption
[21:43] <vistro> I don't want any of it's dependancies there at all, unless they are used by something else
[21:43] <egle> n8tuser, my isp allows me dsl, it's all ok, I am using this connection on opensuse now but no luck on Karmic though I really need it
[21:43] <jpds> calwig: Reencrypt it with the --armor option.
[21:44] <acicula> egle: your network connection works under suse but not under karmic? are you using manual network settings or something?
[21:44] <zopiac> Can someone help me set up a full local network (with 1 WinXP machine, 1 Win7 machine, and Two Ubuntu machines)? I am having all sorts of problems...
[21:44] <munley> Please check it for me
[21:44] <munley> http://paste.ubuntu.com/328827/
[21:44] <munley> the 16GB is empty
[21:44] <zopiac> Online how-tos have not helped at all
[21:44] <munley> and I coulndn't copy any file into it
[21:44] <epinky> zopiac: do you mean samba?
[21:45] <zopiac> epinky: yeah
[21:45] <skyl> vistro, sudo apt-get remove --purge edubuntu-desktop ... just a guess, use at your own risk ...
[21:45] <acicula> munley: it is mounted read/write
[21:45] <vistro> whats the worst it can do?
[21:45] <munley> it was partition as GPT by APPLE
[21:45] <zopiac> Right now, the win7 computer can see all of the shared folders, but upon trying to access them it says that they are not there
[21:45] <egle> acicula, I've tried to do the same network mananer setting on 9.10, but no luck, then I've tried sodo pppoeconf and now all is scewefd
[21:45] <acicula> munley: problem seems to be the permissions on the usb stick
[21:45] <munley> What now? What do I do next??
[21:45] <munley> yes permissions, I did release it all
[21:46] <n8tuser> egle -> try this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html
[21:46] <munley> I release it all in Mac
[21:46] <gdiz> thank you everyone for your help
[21:46] <zopiac> And my one ubuntu computer only shows me the WinXP machine, but hangs upon trying to connect to it.
[21:46] <munley> I have already done it
[21:46] <skyl> vistro, leave your system completely crippled with no X server and make it so that you can barely get to a command line, idk
[21:46] <munley> but still, cannot do anything
[21:46] <acicula> munley: release?
[21:46] <calwig> jpds, thx
[21:46] <munley> only read,  but not write
[21:46] <vistro> so I'm stuck with a crappy deriative
[21:46] <jpds> munley: Change the permissions to your user?
[21:46] <eurytus> microphone dont workint. can anyone can help?
[21:46] <jpds> !enter | munley
[21:46] <Iowan> zopiac: there are a couple of How-To's on the forum.
[21:46] <skyl> vistro, nah, let me see here
[21:46] <munley> I changed the permission when the USB was pluged in mac, with Everybody = read and Write
[21:47] <acicula> munley: no support for that under linux i think, the link i posted, suggested sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt/common, that removes any file permissions, replace /mnt/common with the locaiton of the usb stick
[21:47] <jimbeam12> ubuntu rocks
[21:47] <zopiac> Iowan: so far i have looked at three and have not had any success
[21:47] <munley> if I didn't change, it won't work EITHER
[21:47] <vistro> I'm trying to install KDE but I really don't want to be stuck with half the stuff in my appications menu starting with K
[21:47] <munley> both won't work
[21:47] <jimbeam12> whos thinks ubuntu rocks?
[21:47] <epinky> zopiac: open a terminal and type "smbtree"
[21:47] <egle> n8tuser, thanks, but could you tell me where all my other settings have gone, eg my work wireless, autoech0 etc???
[21:47] <munley> no matter I change or not change, it won't work
[21:47] <acicula> munley: did you try chmod under ubuntu?
[21:48] <munley> nope, not user
[21:48] <munley> just everybody
[21:48] <munley> the term "everybody"
[21:48] <skyl> vistro, yeah, uninstall --purge should be fine for edubuntu-desktop and then maybe install kubuntu-desktop after that ..
[21:48] <n8tuser> egle -> normally its in /etc/network/interfaces  but if it got modified and not saved.. then you lost it
[21:48] <skyl> or ubuntu-desktop or whatever you want
[21:48] <munley> how?
[21:48] <zopiac> epinky: http://paste.ubuntu.com/328834/
[21:48] <munley> chmod??? who?
[21:48] <vistro> but what if I want GNOME?
[21:48] <acicula> munley:  sudo chmod -R 777 /media/16GB
[21:48] <munley> teach me
[21:48] <munley> ok
[21:49] <egle> n8tuser, will I be albe to configure it manually again?
[21:49] <acicula> might have to do that again when you use the stick in the mac again
[21:49] <AMorozov> munley: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/misc/109310-hfs-read-write-all-users.html
[21:49] <skyl> vistro, trying to get rid of KDE, ,eh?  I thought you said you wanted kde

[21:49] <AMorozov> just few seconds of googling
[21:49] <n8tuser> egle yes, man interfaces for more details please
[21:49] <zopiac> jimbeam12: yes...
[21:49] <skyl> ubuntu-desktop has gnome of course
[21:49] <vistro> I only want it becaue it's the only desktop that's new to this machine and hasn't been royally fudged yet
[21:50] <jimbeam12> i was about to throw in the towel yesterday with this ati drivers...luckily it was fixed

[21:54] <socomm> isn't apple ufs?
[21:54] <socomm> UFS
[21:54] <munley> I am not a apple fan, but in this issue, it's all Ubuntu's fault

[21:55] <Dessan> ?
[21:55] <n8tuser> he is far to lazy to read those
[21:55] <n8tuser> too*
[21:56] <Midnigh2ker> munley: open a terminal, run `sudo -i` to get root permissions and then `cd` to where the drive is mounted
[21:56] <mynameguy> smknight_ : are they not a bit high temperatures? ...can we reduce them?

[21:56] <calwig> jpds, worked, thanks. How can I make that a default setting on the encrypt section of the menu button in ubuntu (when you right click on a file and set encrypt)
[21:56] <Midnigh2ker> acicula: whats the problem?
[21:56] <epinky> !gksudo > zopiac
[21:56] <smknight_> but you dont need to worry about 60c

[21:57] <mynameguy> ok should I buy a case fan then?
[21:57] <munley> cd 16GB?????
[21:57] <Midnigh2ker> munley: running the command `mount` should tell you where it is mounted
[21:57] <munley> just cd /16gb?
[21:57] <Berzerker> mynameguy, 50C is a bit high for idle, but 62C for load is fine.
[21:57] <egle> n8tuser, no... suse is leaving in 30mins...
[21:57] <acicula> Midnigh2ker: was hoping that gave the anti-root policy
[21:58] <larrxi> I updated kernel to 2.6.32-rc8, do i need to do something do get my fglrx working?
[21:58] <smknight_> mynameguy: why not
[21:58] <mynameguy> berserker: is this OS fault or hardware fault?
[21:58] <Midnigh2ker> acicula: except i need the user to be root to test if this fixes his problem.
[21:58] <socomm> larrxi: pray ;P
[21:58] <n8tuser> egle you can try to use the livecd, then mount your partition and write to it when saving..

[21:58] <bastidrazor> munley: you're not listening to the advice the people are giving you. i smell troll
[21:58] <acicula> he has the stick mounted twice btw
[21:58] <zopiac> epinky: gotcha
[21:58] <mynameguy> smknight_ : by touching the case temperature is high
[21:58] <larrxi> socomm, nothing like rebuilding module or something simple?

[21:59] <munley> I spent my whole week just to get a file copy from Ubuntu to Mac via a 16GB USB pendrive, and it just won't work
[21:59] <Midnigh2ker> munley: it was mounted at '/media/16GB' so `cd /media/16GB` will do
[21:59] <smknight_> mynameguy: you should have a mainboard temperature sensor
[21:59] <mynameguy> ok smknight_ please tell how to download it?
[21:59] <munley> -bash: cd: /media/16gb: No such file or directory
[21:59] <munley> -bash: cd: /media/16gb: No such file or directory

[22:05] <ZykoticK9> dixon_1, specifically it's "uname -m" - if it's x86_64 then you're using 64bit
[22:05] <sobersabre> mynameguy: what do you need to monitor ?
[22:05] <naples_guy> does using cd and a relative path only work for one directory further?  for example, /usr/local/etc...  if my current "working" directory is usr, and I type cd ./etc, I get "no such" However, if I type cd local, I get local, and cd etc, i get etc.
[22:05] <ardchoille> bastidrazor: That will work, thanks
[22:06] <bastidrazor> ardchoille: once you have your sensors up and running read this :: http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html  also there is a #conky channel
[22:06] <Dessan> munley, from your mount output i can tell you have not followed any of the steps on the link I sent.
[22:06] <munley> Why don't you just try your own 16GB pendrive and you'll see what I encountered
[22:06] <acicula> mynameguy: probably
[22:06] <mynameguy> sobersabre: my CPU temp at Idle is 58c and 50c dual core
[22:06] <naples_guy> could i navigate to etc from usr through a relative path
[22:06] <naples_guy> ?
[22:06] <ardchoille> bastidrazor: Ah, nice. Thanks again :)
[22:06] <zopiac> epinky: the other ubuntu machine is UbuntuBodeFamily4
[22:06] <munley> Dessan, then tell me one more time
[22:06] <munley> plz
[22:06] <dixon_1> ZykoticK9, zvacet; thanks for your help
[22:06] <mynameguy> are these normal for Core 2 duo T7900?
[22:06] <larrxi> how to get dkms to build fglrx for new kernel?

[22:07] <ardchoille> bastidrazor: Yeah, I replaced GKRELLm with conky and am very happy
[22:07] <Pira> soreau: yup, thats the first place I went
[22:07] <Dessan> munley, Until then you are not even attempting to listen to anyone who has tried to help.
[22:08] <munley> Dessan it's sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt/common right?
[22:08] <munley> I did!!!!
[22:08] <zopiac> epinky: samba is installed, i believe the network is running on it
[22:08] <Pira> soreau: the i tried to change the effects on (desktop effect) I can't enable it though
[22:08] <Iowan> naples_guy: you could - being very explicit
[22:08] <munley> Dessan, I am trying
[22:08] <munley> chmod: cannot access `/mnt/common': No such file or directory
[22:09] <munley> Dessan, it says chmod: cannot access `/mnt/common': No such file or directory
[22:09] <munley> and common is not my 16GB
[22:09] <naples_guy> Iowan, i thought a relative path would be like ./directory I want... but it's not working out that way
[22:09] <sobersabre> mynameguy: my PC with amd athlong 4200+ cpu has 52 deg. C
[22:09] <sobersabre> I am in a place of about your temp.
[22:09] <ZykoticK9> naples_guy, you need two dots like ../directory
[22:09] <jpds> calwig: No idea, I only use gpg on the command line.
[22:09] <Dessan> Anyone else want to help munley I'm tired of feeding the trolls
[22:09] <naples_guy> lets all talk about the weather
[22:10] <Iowan> naples_guy:  . is current dir, .. is parent so from /usr cd ../etc should take you to /etc
[22:10] <ZykoticK9> naples_guy, one dot is current directory
[22:10] <sobersabre> 50-55 is ok.
[22:10] <munley> I am not trolls
[22:10] <soreau> Pira: Only a select few via chipsets have the hw capabilities required to run compiz. I believe you need to use the via driver and not open chrome
[22:10] <epinky> zopiac: before you proceed, what exactly you want to do with UbuntuBodeFamily4, will it share something?
[22:10] <bastidrazor> Dessan: let him be, munley has failed to listen to one set of instructions since joining.
[22:10] <munley> I did what you told me,
[22:10] <zopiac> epinky: it is irrelevant; i was just stating that it was on the network.
[22:10] <zopiac> epinky: my main concern is with the Win7 machine
[22:11] <skyl> so, if the HD is known to be on it's last leg and the CD checked-out okay ... good chance that the bad HD gave me the error ...
[22:11] <soreau> Pira: Consider /msg FusioBot via
[22:11] <egle> Coul anyone please help to reset all network settings??? Ive done some bad things I guess... I really need help
[22:11] <naples_guy> yes!  thanks!
[22:11] <micheal> where is the trash located?
[22:11] <epinky> zopiac: is it sharing something at this very moment?
[22:11] <bastidrazor> !trash | micheal
[22:11] <zopiac> epinky: yes
[22:11] <Pira> soreau: i don't really want to run compiz, just want a higher resolution so windows aren't so huge
[22:11] <skyl> and not the disk ... can the disk be bad and the check say that it is good?
[22:11] <munley> bastidrazor, you are smearing me
[22:11] <zopiac> epinky: i just set its Pictures folder to Shared
[22:11] <munley> I rarely come up here
[22:11] <bastidrazor> munley: you are not listening to their instructions.
[22:12] <munley> That's your term
[22:12] <Iowan> egle: I'm willing to try...
[22:12] <epinky> zopiac: WindozeXP can see it?
[22:12] <bazhang> munley, what's the issue
[22:12] <munley> bastidrazor : That's your term
[22:12] <CarlFK> I think my laptop's built in webcam is confusing xsane scanning - I think I need to specify the device so I don't get scanimage -L = "device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname CKA7216 virtual device"  any suggestions?
[22:12] <soreau> Pira: Well you probably want to install the driver VIA offers for your card. Check Sys>Admin>Hardware Drivers to see if it offers anything
[22:12] <zopiac> epinky: dunno; it would take a while to check, too. It's my dad's computer, and is virus-ridden
[22:12] <munley> bazhang : nothing, I think I will go quietly
[22:13] <micheal> ubottu: how to i empty it?
[22:13] <soreau> Pira: Alternatively you can probably go to the via site and see if they offer one for your card
[22:13] <egle> Iowan, thanks, I would appreaciate your help
[22:13] <jules_baud> hi there , this is kind of hello world
[22:13] <Pira> soreau: ok, thanks
[22:13] <Iowan> egle: To put networking back, comment out all but the two lines in /etc/network/interfaces
[22:13] <epinky> zopiac: You need to check to confirm that it's not Vista issue
[22:13] <Iowan> egle: that deal with configuring "lo"
[22:14] <zopiac> epinky: im working on it, slowly :)
[22:14] <egle> Iowan, It say auto lo
[22:14] <zopiac> epinky: but what is Vista issue?
[22:14] <iMatter> How would I go about reverting to old graphic drivers like the open source ones instead of restricted
[22:14] <Iowan> egle: is that all?
[22:14] <skyl> currently the grub looks for sda1 first and then boots to it ... if I install a new disk at sdc1 ... can I get grub to default to that one and how?
[22:14] <egle> Iowan, shuold I leave only those two lines?
[22:14] <epinky> zopiac: I mean it's not a Vista misconfiguration
[22:15] <Iowan> Yes - for default configuration
[22:15] <bastidrazor> iMatter: in the restricted manager uninstall/deactivate them.
[22:15] <egle> Iowan, It says: auto lo/ iface lo inet loopback
[22:15] <vadi2> How can I make Ubuntu the default boot OS? SUM doesn't work for Karmic
[22:15] <zopiac> epinky: Win7 could be replaced with VIsta in Vista issue, correct?
[22:15] <Iowan> egle: That's what it should look like...
[22:16] <epinky> zopiac: lol, Vista Win7 whatever XD, sry
[22:16] <zopiac> epinky: ok, the WinXP computer can only see itself in the Network. This ubuntu computer can only see it, and win7 computer can see everything, but not access it
[22:16] <trijntje> !googlearth
[22:16] <zopiac> :P
[22:16] <iMatter> bazhang: Thats the thing since enabling and rebooting ubuntu shows half of my background and a black space ontop with weird pixels at very tool
[22:16] <egle> Iowan, should I delete the folders in /etc/network?
[22:16] <Iowan> Not yet!!
[22:16] <Iowan> egle: NOT YET!!
[22:16] <zopiac> epinky: UbuntuBodeFamily4 can only see the WinXP machine, as well :\
[22:17] <epinky> zopiac: then you've got to make Win7 visible, don't ask me how :)
[22:17] <egle> Iowan, I cannot modify the file
[22:17] <zopiac> epinky: lol, fun...
[22:17] <zopiac> epinky: well thanks for your help so far/
[22:17] <mynameguy> guys right now my Thinkpad T61 is averaging 58C and 51C CPU core temperatures. I think these are high right?
[22:18] <Reformer81> When using photorec, is it possible to specify a minimum filesize to recover?
[22:18] <micheal> how do i empty the trash?
[22:18] <Iowan> egle: Poor memory - I just checked my /etc/network dir... no, don't delete those files
[22:18] <micheal> how do i empty the trash?
[22:18] <brennus> ok, question: I'm installing Ubuntu on my friend
[22:19] <epinky> zopiac: you're welcome :) , configuration on Win7 must be done good luck
[22:19] <bastidrazor> micheal: delete everything in the trash folder or normally you have a trashcan icon on the toolbar.
[22:19] <micheal> how do i get to the trash folder tho?
[22:19] <RiGeL2> :o rigel :o
[22:19] <bastidrazor> !trash | micheal
[22:19] <egle> Iowan, what should I do then?
[22:20] <Iowan> egle: If those are the only two lines in the file, you don't need to change it.
[22:20] <bastidrazor> micheal: ~/ is a shortcut for /home/micheal
[22:20] <egle> Iowan, I cannot make it like that, I cannot modify the file...
[22:20] <Iowan> egle: if you do need to change it, use sudo nano or gksudo gedit
[22:20] <skyl> !vim
[22:21] <brennus> ok, question: I'm installing Ubuntu on my friend's dell laptop which has an intel "core duo" (not dual core? Not core 2 Cuo)... the liveCD recognizes it as i686, but not 64-bit? Says I can't install the 64-bit version... am I  missing something, or should I just install the 32-bit?
[22:21] <skyl> !code
[22:22] <valkoinenpulu> 'ello
[22:22] <skyl> brennus, 32bit x86 is less pain even on a real 64-bit chip from what i have experienced
[22:22] <plitter> is there a way to connect amarok to the gnome password keeper than to kdewallet?
[22:22] <Berzerker> brennus, a core duo is dual core, but it's not 64-bit.
[22:22] <egle> Iowan, how to save it with nano? :)
[22:23] <brennus> berzerker: thank you. perfect. I'll go ahead with the 32-bit.
[22:23] <HilBilly> Unless you are doing extremely intensive graphics/animation creation, the you don't want the hassles of 64 bit.
[22:23] <VCoolio> Iowan: ctrl+o, enter, it's mentioned at the bottom
[22:23] <egle> Iowan, done!!!
[22:23] <HilBilly> control-x saves in nano..
[22:23] <Berzerker> ctrl-x, y, enter
[22:24] <nmartin> Hey y'all I am running my instance of Ubuntu in Sun's virtualbox and when I increased the resolution to fit my screen it runs super slow
[22:24] <Berzerker> save and quit
[22:24] <Iowan> egle: instructions @ bottom of screen, but... outtyped again
[22:24] <nmartin> Can someone point me to the resolution?
[22:24] <egle> Iowan, its done, sorry :)
[22:24] <egle> Iowan, what is next?
[22:24] <bastidrazor> nmartin: possibly a good place to ask is #vbox
 :wq is god's way of saving a file and exiting the editor :P
[22:24] <shooree> hey, I would like to install java on karmic. What's the usual way to do it? I bet there's more bother free way than manually downloading and installing
[22:25] <Iowan> egle: OK restart/reboot - I prefer reboot to get NM synched
[22:25] <brennus> shooree: best way is to go into synaptic, and install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras .
[22:25] <egle> Iowan, rebooting
[22:25] <nmartin> bastidrazor Ill try that thanx
[22:25] <poutine> Why does the /etc/nsswitch.conf have mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] before "dns"? It causes people with local BIND nameservers to have errors with some applications
[22:25] <bastidrazor> nmartin: good luck.
[22:25] <Iowan> egle: Sorry for delay - I type even slower than I think...
[22:26] <pitt> hallo eva
[22:26] <skyl> why does it say  that my partition tables have changed on sda and sdb when I'm installing/formatting sdc, oh well, fingers crossed ...
[22:27] <shooree> brennus, I apparently have it installed
[22:27] <Iowan> egle: ...and my brain runs pretty slow
[22:27] <valkoinenpulu> I got my laptop a new HDD, now done installing all I want etc and so forth, but I left many of my files on the old HDD and planned to just plug it in, via SATA-USB cable, and move all the files to my new HDD. Problem is, I forgot I had encrypted my /home directory. How should I go about getting it open? (got the encrypt password-or-whatcha-callit for it). Pointer to what to google for would help too
[22:27] <shooree> brennus, but when I try to run a java app, it doesn't know what to open i with
[22:27] <brennus> shooree: and java is still not installed?
[22:27] <egle> Iowan, Ok, it seems back to normal, back to default. No worries mine are like that. Is that all for reseting?
[22:27] <acicula> valkoinenpulu: dunno, but ecryptfs is what you should google for i think
[22:27] <shooree> brennus, java verification on java.com fails also in ffox
[22:27] <Vashta_Nerada> I want to set up a firewall on a legacy computer to act as a go-between between my webserver and the internet.  Can anyone recommend the application best to use and a manual, so I can rtfm?
[22:27] <Subby> I have a big problem.   Das anybody know what this is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/328855/
[22:28] <shooree> brennus, should I try reinstalling the package?
[22:28] <brennus> shooree: search synaptic for java
[22:28] <shooree> ok
[22:28] <jeez1234> http://paste.ubuntu.com/328859/ can someone help me fix synaptic?
[22:28] <skyl> !iptables
[22:28] <epinky> Vashta_Nerada: IPCop
[22:28] <Iowan> egle: Well, that's all I'm aware of... possibly more wrong - but good starting place
[22:28] <shooree> brennus, and then what?
[22:29] <egle> Iowan, thanks a lot, there's even my job wireless overthere... thanks a lot...
[22:29] <DjAngo23> How to add a client to a DHCP server ?
[22:29] <daf_> does anyone know of a fix for the problem with not being able to turn of dim? I unchecked it in power management for with and without battery but it still dims when watching a movie in VLC and MOVIE PLAYER
[22:29] <shooree> brennus, a bunch of it is already installed, including java-common and other stuff
[22:29] <Iowan> egle: good luck!
[22:29] <daf_> off
[22:30] <brennus> shooree: well the restricted extras should do it for you. do you have java-common installed?
[22:30] <shooree> brennus, yes I do. I wonder what is wrong
[22:30] <Vashta_Nerada> thank you ubottu and epinky: i will rtfm
[22:30] <DJAshnar> For firewalls, hit www.distrowatch.com
[22:30] <Iowan> DjAngo23: manual address?
[22:30] <shooree> brennus, I never had any problems with java in jaunty. That's why I'm confus now.
[22:31] <DjAngo23> Iowan, It' s an IP.
[22:31] <Jeruvy> if I select "print" -> PDF, where does the pdf end up?
[22:31] <DjAngo23> Iowan, sorry a https://<IP_ADDRESS>
[22:31] <brennus> shooree: the best I can suggest is reinstalling. Many people are discovering new problems in Karmic that we're all hoping will be fixed for the LTS release coming up
[22:31] <skyl> so, the install failed with my good HDD too ... grr ... speed=40 might be too much ... for cdrecord? ... what is an absolutely safe speed?  I figurre 30 seconds to burnn the iso was a little fast ...
[22:31] <bastidrazor> shooree: where on java.com do yousee a java validator?
[22:32] <shooree> brennus, very well then.  I can't believe this.
[22:34] <shooree> anyway, thanks for your time

[22:46] <mostapha> Why is this room started to get useless when it's about help? Seriously it was one of the most helpful ways to get support for ubuntu but now it maybe the worst channel.
[22:46] <sebsebseb> !terminal |  pedro
[22:46] <sebsebseb> pedro: sudo apt-get install package
[22:47] <raven_> is there a UNR specific channel?
[22:47] <Iowan> DjAngo23:  Which wiki - I'll have a look
[22:47] <nightcrow> hello
[22:47] <Clooluss> how can i get my power icon back? It has disappeared from the panel. I can create a simple "power off" icon but I'd like one that gives me the shutdown/ restart/ log off choice.
[22:47] <mostapha> For the last 7 times I tried to get help from this room, it was very hard to. Sometimes I left without getting my questions un-answered.
[22:47] <pedro> i need help! to install a package that i download ! i do'nt know who to install it
[22:47] <nightcrow> im looking for some help on something slightly complex, and i was hoping someone would be able to assit
[22:47] <DjAngo23> Iowan, Dutch and local :S
[22:47] <DjAngo23> Iowan, but kan give you a copy
[22:47] <sebsebseb> !ask |  nightcrow
[22:47] <enrico_> sebsebseb, thank you, but i want to compile the fstab to have the permission at startup system, can you help me?
[22:47] <nightcrow> well, the story goes like this, I have an image created with ghost.exe that i use to deploy on all my server. Up until now, I used tftpdserver.exe, set it to boot to pxe with a windows netbootdisk and the once the machine boots, i just run ghost.exe from the mapped drive and then deploy the image - but for some reason, it has stopped working.
[22:47] <pedro> but! i download de package to the web site i have de file in my FOLDER
[22:47] <LjL> pedro: as they told you, type "sudo apt-get install packagename"
[22:47] <nightcrow> sebsebseb, i was just about to
[22:48] <LjL> pedro: that's usually a bad idea.
[22:48] <nightcrow> :)
[22:48] <epinky> mostapha: what is the error?
[22:48] <LjL> pedro: what package is it?
[22:48] <pedro> ok!
[22:48] <pedro> ettercap
[22:48] <sebsebseb> enrico_: maybe, but try somene else
[22:48] <nightcrow> anyway
[22:48] <nightcrow> i figured that the best option is to use linux - but i dont know how to create a similar scenario
[22:48] <Iowan> DjAngo23: Uh-oh, I don't read Dutch :(
[22:48] <nightcrow> and i would need to use ghost.exe
[22:48] <nightcrow> but how would i create a net boot disk, im kinda confused
[22:48] <sobersabre> mostapha: after you formatted something did you eject it and reconnected it back ?
[22:48] <mostapha> epinky: I don't get an error. I just formatted the flash memory, then after it got formated it dissappered as if it was un-mounted.
[22:48] <LjL> pedro: ettercap is in the official repositories of ubuntu. you don't need to download it manually.
[22:48] <mostapha> sobersabre: No
[22:48] <LjL> pedro: type "sudo apt-get install ettercap" in a terminal.
[22:48] <nul> How do I add video modes to my monitor? (9.04, latest nvidia installed)
[22:49] <sobersabre> mostapha: what commands did you run during the format ?
[22:49] <sven_oostenbrink> pedro: apt-cache search ethercap
[22:49] <LjL> pedro: type "sudo apt-get install ettercap-gtk" if you want the graphical version.
[22:49] <sven_oostenbrink> pedro: then apt-get install packagename
[22:49] <mostapha> sobersabre: The gnome app, I didn't use commandline
[22:49] <pedro> excellente thx i trying right now
[22:49] <coreGrl> tanx  sync3times
[22:49] <pedro> thanks merci GRACIAS...
[22:49] <Ddorda> is it possible to open .mus files (finale) on Ubuntu?
[22:49] <nightcrow> any ideas or is my problem too complex?
[22:49] <sync3times> coreGrl, np
[22:49] <sobersabre> mostapha: well... while we're talking... why won't you try my suggestion ?
[22:49] <sven_oostenbrink> pedro: mexico?
[22:50] <mostapha> sobersabre: Ya I didn't try to reconnect it later, but I mean that it was unmounted before I plug it out.
[22:50] <mostapha> sobersabre: * did try
[22:50] <pedro> SI soy MEXICANO
[22:50] <sobersabre> mostapha: it can't be mounted if you formatted it.
[22:50] <lmanechine> I need a little help here to get into a channel for C programmers, this is my first time using mirc... so any idea?
[22:50] <sobersabre> if you formatted it, it should be unmounted.
[22:50] <pedro> what's up men?
[22:50] <mostapha> sobersabre: It shoud get mounted when I plugit in to write data on it. right?
[22:51] <hapt1K> hi all
[22:51] <mostapha> sobersabre: When I plug it in again it should be remounted?
[22:51] <hapt1K> ubuntu has suddenly stopped resolving host names
[22:51] <mostapha> sobersabre: right?
[22:51] <sobersabre> mostapha: I don't know what you did, but if you plug a flash disk into the system it should appear in your logs in /var/log/syslog
[22:51] <hapt1K> i get my dns from the router and all my other machines are doing lookups fine
[22:51] <sobersabre> mostapha: and this doesn't depend on what is on that flash disk.
[22:52] <sobersabre> mostapha: it is right if you indeed formatted the flash disk.
[22:52] <datz> Hi, I can't upgrade directly from 8.04 to 9.10?
[22:52] <lstarnes> datz: no
[22:52] <epinky> nightcrow: What's the application of all that? PXE, TFTPd, thin clients?
[22:52] <sobersabre> mostapha: did you have FAT32 option or VFAT ?
[22:52] <mostapha> sobersabre: What can I do to mount it?
[22:53] <lstarnes> datz: you must upgrade to 8.10, then 9.04, then 9.10
[22:53] <mostapha> sobersabre: FAT32
[22:53] <nightcrow> what do you mean epinky
[22:53] <hapt1K> i can't even ping an ip address with this machine now
[22:53] <hapt1K> wtf
[22:53] <raven_> is it possible to minimize the menu in UNR so I can see all of the background?  this is 9.10
[22:53] <datz> lstarnes: but I will be able to upgrade from 8.04 to next LTS?
[22:53] <lstarnes> datz: but 8.04 will be able to upgrade directly to 10.04 if it is released as an LTS
[22:53] <mostapha> sobersabre: I can see the flash when I write fdisk -l
[22:53] <datz> ok
[22:53] <datz> thanks
[22:53] <epinky> nightcrow: What are your trying to accomplish?
[22:53] <hapt1K> is there a way to install ubuntu from within ubuntu using a mounted CDROM
[22:53] <nightcrow> epinky, sec
[22:53] <datz> lstarnes: think I'll hold off on the upgrade then. :)
[22:53] <nightcrow> ill paste again
[22:53] <sobersabre> mostapha: and do you have a partition on it, like sda1 or something ?
[22:53] <nightcrow> well, the story goes like this, I have an image created with ghost.exe that i use to deploy on all my server. Up until now, I used tftpdserver.exe, set it to boot to pxe with a windows netbootdisk and the once the machine boots, i just run ghost.exe from the mapped drive and then deploy the image - but for some reason, it has stopped working.
[22:53] <SimoneB> i built inkscape from the sources and installed it, i've deleted the sources and now i want to remove it to upgrade to the new version in the repos ... how do i do it?
[22:53] <nztal> is it possible to get open sound working on karmic ?
[22:54] <mostapha> sobersabre: it device boot I can see /dev/sdb1    *
[22:54] <nightcrow> i need to do that for another 50 machines
[22:54] <mostapha> *in
[22:54] <nightcrow> with the same image (created with ghost.exe)
[22:54] <nightcrow> so i would need a dos netbootdisk which will be used with pxe
[22:54] <mostapha> sobersabre: the * is included under the device boot, if that makes any difference.
[22:54] <epinky> nightcrow: use Clonezilla System Image Server
[22:54] <nightcrow> epinky, does that support dos network boot disks?
[22:55] <nightcrow> will i still be able to run my ghost.exe app
[22:55] <sobersabre> ok. so are you saying "I am connecting a FAT32 formatted flash disk and the system doesn't show me it has been connected in nautilus/desktop" ?
[22:55] <nightcrow> in order to deploy the image on the machines?
[22:55] <epinky> nightcrow: it supports PXE
[22:55] <mostapha> sobersabre: ya
[22:55] <DrRobinTosh> ok, iv been trying to do tuts on the inetweb to install vsftp, but it don't work for me, im getting connection refused the second i try to connect
[22:55] <sobersabre> is the user you're working with ... a local user ?
[22:55] <DrRobinTosh> erm, yes
[22:55] <nightcrow> epinky, i dont think that will be enough though
[22:55] <nightcrow> i need it to support more than that
[22:56] <nightcrow> i need to be able to boot into dos
[22:56] <mostapha> sobersabre: ya, it's the user i created during the installation
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[22:56] <nightcrow> in order to run ghost.exe
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: could use dosbox
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: oic
[22:56] <sobersabre> mostapha: ok. do you have any other flashdisks that did work ?
[22:56] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, whats that?
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: www.bootdisk.com
[22:56] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, i tried that - to no avail
[22:56] <datz> is the main difference between the desktop version and server version a GUI?
[22:56] <mostapha> sobersabre: No. But this one did work before I formated it.
[22:56] <Clooluss> How can i get my power icon back? It has disappeared from the panel. I can create a simple "power off" icon but I'd like one that gives me the shutdown/ restart/ log off choice.
[22:56] <sobersabre> mostapha: ok.
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: its an emulator for DOS but you need real DOS to use ghost
[22:57] <sobersabre> do you mind opening a terminal ?
[22:57] <nightcrow> yeah
[22:57] <nightcrow> im really stuck
[22:57] <mostapha> sobersabre: no, go ahead
[22:57] <sobersabre> when you do run: "sudo su -" and when asked type in your pass.
[22:57] <mostapha> sobersabre: I tried some commands but it didn't work out
[22:57] <nightcrow> i have this one ghost image and i need to deploy it on 50 servers
[22:57] <nightcrow> and i have no idea how to accomplish that
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: all you need is a floppy with command.com on and ghost.exe
[22:57] <sobersabre> mostapha: after you're ready in a root's shell tell me.
[22:57] <mostapha> sobersabre: ya i'm on
[22:57] <nightcrow> and then how will i access the image?
[22:57] <nightcrow> :)
[22:57] <datz> can I install server version, then some GUI, and get server LTS?
[22:58] <nightcrow> it will take me forever to do 50 machines like that ActionParsnip
[22:58] <DrRobinTosh> so.. how do i install vsftp? wiht out it faiing?
[22:58]  * sobersabre ate 2 spoons of majadrah.
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: you setup a ghost session on the ghost server, the disk will also have packet drivers for the nic's in the system
[22:58] <DrRobinTosh> would it be easier if i installed a control panel ? like webmin?
[22:59] <mostapha> sobersabre: I'm on a root.
[22:59] <sobersabre> mostapha: you are absolutely sure that flashdisk is /dev/sdb1 right ?
[22:59] <mostapha> sobersabre: mmm.. ya
[22:59] <manuel_> hola no tengo mucha experiencia en ubuntu
[22:59] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, it would work like that
[22:59] <manuel_> alguien me podria ayudar?
[22:59] <araxhiel> good evening
[22:59] <jrt05> If I'm installing via wubi, what is the minimum space I should allocate and still be able to use ubuntu normally without restriction?
[22:59] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, im trying to do something similar to this
[22:59] <nightcrow> http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/478
[22:59] <sobersabre> ok I'll tell you the plan, and you tell me if it's ok with you.
[22:59] <araxhiel> err
[22:59] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: perhaps you need to configure a file in /etc to make it accept connections? you know, packages (especially insecure things like FTP) usually come configured conservatively to avoid surprises
[22:59] <epinky> !es | manuel_
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: you tell the clients to join the name of the session you created on the server and when the right number of clients connects, the broadcast will begin (or you can attend the server to kick it off)
[22:59] <nightcrow> but with BOOTING into DOS
[22:59] <mostapha> sobersabre: ok
[22:59] <nightcrow> hmm
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: yes I know, Ive used it
[22:59] <sobersabre> I assume you don't have any valuable data on /dev/sdb1. so I'll tell you what to do to really format it. and after that we'll see what's up.
[22:59] <kevdog> how do I upgrade my ming32 packages -- Ive tried to cross compile handbrake and Im getting a mingw runtime must be >= 3.15
[23:00] <DrRobinTosh> LjL, well i fllowed the tuts, and i have set it up so i can
[23:00] <nightcrow> using what server ActionParsnip
[23:00] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: "dpkg -L packagename" (so "dpkg -L vsftp") will give you a list of all files it comes with; specifically, you could do "dpkg -L vsftp | grep etc" to get an idea what the config files may be
[23:00] <araxhiel> how can I restore grub default options?
[23:00] <Rods_Tiger> I've returned to trying to install ruby on rails, but it's taking weeks. I've got as far as making a rails app but when I type "rake db:create:all" it says  "no such file to load -- sqlite3". Ubuntu is giving me immense trouble getting anything related to rails to work at all.
[23:00] <sobersabre> mostapha: ok ?
[23:00] <mostapha> sobersabre: cool
[23:00] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: what are "the tuts", and why did you fllow them?
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: you need a ghost server running the session
[23:00] <araxhiel> or system backups of grub2 files?
[23:00] <nightcrow> ok
[23:00] <nightcrow> so what are the steps?
[23:00] <DrRobinTosh> LjL, duh. to getit going.
[23:00] <nightcrow> or do you have a tutorial that you can link me to?
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: i just told you
[23:00] <DrRobinTosh> http://www.ehow.com/how_5025791_setup-ftp-server-ubuntu.html
[23:00] <DrRobinTosh> this is one
[23:00] <DrRobinTosh> theres another one
[23:00] <FloodBot2> DrRobinTosh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:00] <nightcrow> sorry, i thought we were having a discussion
[23:00] <nightcrow> :-/
[23:01] <nightcrow> my bad
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: ghost can also do local disk to local disk if you do not have the server
[23:01] <nightcrow> i didnt realise you were certain
[23:01] <nightcrow> i dont have the server
[23:01] <nightcrow> i just have ghost.exe
[23:01] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: oh, you meant *tutorials*. sorry, but english is not my native language, i might not understand such abbreviations
[23:01] <jrt05> If I'm installing via wubi, what is the minimum space I should allocate and still be able to use ubuntu normally without restriction?
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: yeah used to use it when i worked in a school, we use PXE where I work now
[23:01] <DrRobinTosh> i see
[23:01] <linuxguy2009> Im not having any luck with a good list of compatible wireless mice. Is there a good list somewhere?
[23:01] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, PXE is what i want to use
[23:01] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: still, it's probably a VERY bad idea to just blindly follow a tutorial for something as insecure as FTP
[23:01] <nightcrow> it has been what i have used up until now
[23:02] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: can you tell me exactly what you have done to install and configure it so far?
[23:02] <sobersabre> mostapha: run the command: "mkfs.vfat -n MDATA /dev/sdb1"
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> jrt05: 30Gb is max, you'll need about 7Gb for / and be comfortable
[23:02] <linuxguy2009> So far I only know for sure that the Logitech V220 works out of the box.
[23:02] <acicula> linuxguy2009: you mean bluetooth wireless or other
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: norton ghost isnt PXE
[23:02] <DrRobinTosh> sudo apt-get install vsftpd
[23:02] <DrRobinTosh> then cd /ect
[23:02] <jrt05> Thanks a lot ActionParsnip
[23:02] <nightcrow> i know
[23:02] <nightcrow> i never said it was...
[23:02] <DrRobinTosh> sudo nano vsftpd.conf
[23:02] <ben64_> how do i bring up that power history graph thing on ubuntu karmic?
[23:02] <sobersabre> mostapha: it maybe will warn you about something. unless it says "already mounted" you agree to "destroy data" on that disk. ok ?
[23:02] <DrRobinTosh> and changed the lines like it said
[23:02] <linuxguy2009> acicula: My Dell Mini 10v doesnt have bluetooth built in but I dont really have a preferecne as long as it works.
[23:03] <sobersabre> mostapha: are you with me ?
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: then why talk about norton ghost then say you want to use PXE
[23:03] <linuxguy2009> acicula: I want to avoid M$ mice for sure.
[23:03] <sobersabre> linuxguy2009: why so ?
[23:03] <mostapha> sobersabre: ya, i didn't say already mounted
[23:03] <sobersabre> :)
[23:03] <sobersabre> mostapha: did it finish the formatting procedure ?
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: this will help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer
[23:03] <mostapha> sobersabre: I see it I think mounted
[23:03] <linuxguy2009> sobersabre: I highly dislike M$.
[23:03] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip,  let me explain, i had a network boot disk, which i used in conjunction with tftpd.exe, that was my dhcp server and my pxe. so using that, i booted (with pxe) into a network boot disk, mapped a shared drive in DOS using 'net use' and then ran ghost.exe via the network to deploy the image
[23:03] <mostapha> sobersabre: I think it worked hold on i'll double check
[23:04] <sobersabre> linuxguy2009: why do you dislike ms ? they make a hell of mice!
[23:04] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: what does « grep local_enable /etc/vsftpd.conf » say?
[23:04] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, is that clearer?
[23:04] <mostapha> sobersabre: it did work, thanks alot :)
[23:04] <sobersabre> mostapha: you maybe partitioned the flash disk, but didn't format.
[23:04] <D_K_2> HeyHey all (happy T day US.) If I have my cpu running high constantly while idle, but system monitor doesnt list any troubles in cpu usage, how can i find out, perhaps with terminal command, which process it is so i can kill it?
[23:04] <linuxguy2009> sobersabre: I really love Logitech though.
[23:04] <DrRobinTosh> LjL, local_enable=YES
[23:04] <sobersabre> mostapha: there are 2 distinct operations: partitioning is cutting the disk to slices. formatting is creating the filesystems on them.
[23:05] <sobersabre> linuxguy2009: as of now I haven't seen better than ms mice. (well, apple's mice are ok too)
[23:05] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, that link says: If your dhcp server issues correct network info and your pxe clients will have network access, then at this point you will be able to do an Ubuntu install using internet repositories
[23:05] <linuxguy2009> I like the Logitech Nano mice but not sure if the mini receiver will work on Ubuntu.
[23:05] <nightcrow> but i want to install windows using ghost.exe
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: pxe will use the bios to boot from network, it doesnt need a disk
[23:05] <DrRobinTosh> MAGIC MOUSE!!!
[23:05] <mostapha> sobersabre: ah, got it.
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: the guide is good though
[23:05] <sobersabre> linuxguy2009: ms mice are ... robust. I have one for like 6 years.
[23:05] <DryGrain> argh, I have debian runnin in a VM and I want to set the screen resolution to 800x600
[23:05] <sobersabre> it never asked for cheese.
[23:05] <DrRobinTosh> Magic Mouse is really good with BetterTouchTool
[23:05] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: does "ps aux | grep ftp" show it as running?
[23:06] <sobersabre> mostapha: tislam, ya zalamee.
[23:06] <iKernel> Who here is having any trouble?
[23:06] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, but once ive booted, how would i run ghost.exe
[23:06] <DrRobinTosh> LjL, PM
[23:06] <ben64_> how do i bring up that power history graph thing on ubuntu karmic??
[23:06] <DryGrain> i am iKernel :D
[23:06] <linuxguy2009> sobersabre: As much as I hate M$ do they make any reasonably priced and available at walmart and maybe feature a mini reciever?
[23:06] <mostapha> sobersabre: shamy?
[23:06] <sobersabre> esh ?
[23:06] <iKernel> what's up DryGrain
[23:06] <araxhiel> Does any one know how can I restore grub default options? or restore system backups (if exists) of grub2 files?
[23:07] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: uhm, ok. but if you do "ftp localhost", it doesn't ask for a username?
[23:07] <mostapha> sobersabre: men syria, lebanon (el sham)?
[23:07] <newtoubuntu> I recently migrated to UBUNTU from windows XP and I found myself with a useless webcam...VEO Can anybody recommend an ubuntu compatible webcam?
[23:07] <sobersabre> halabi ? la. israil. el yahud :)
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> newtoubuntu: run: lsusb    one line will identify the cam, websearch the 8 character hex ID
[23:07] <DrRobinTosh> btw, im SSHd into the server from my mac
[23:07] <LjL> !english
[23:07] <DryGrain> argh, I have debian runnin in a VM and I want to set the screen resolution to 800x600. the "Screen resolution" app in the system>preferences menu is useless, theres nothing in the dropdown menu
[23:07] <mostapha> sobersabre: arab 48?
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: yuo don't the PXE boot will install the OS for you
[23:08] <sobersabre> ? la, ana el yahud.
[23:08] <anajo> eh?
[23:08] <LjL> please, english in here
[23:08] <nightcrow> the pxe boot will install windows?
[23:08] <nightcrow> can i pm ActionParsnip ?
[23:08] <D_K_2> If I have my cpu running high constantly while idle, but system monitor doesnt list any troubles in cpu usage, how can i find out, perhaps with terminal command, which process it is so i can kill it?
[23:08] <mostapha> sobersabre: Yahud is a religion, I didn't ask about your religion I'm talking about ethnicy.
[23:08] <LjL> !ot
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: i've not done this before, i only have a firm grasp of the concepts and method
[23:09] <DryGrain> D_K_2, top i think
[23:09] <sobersabre> mostapha: rusi.
[23:09] <sobersabre> :)
[23:09] <newtoubuntu> I don't get it
[23:09] <sobersabre> min wentaq ?
[23:09] <D_K_2> DryGrain: ive tried that one but it didnt list anything either
[23:09] <LjL> sobersabre, mostapha: please use english and keep it ubuntu-support-related. there's PM for the rest.
[23:09] <mostapha> sobersabre: masr
[23:09] <nightcrow> ah, i see
[23:09] <sobersabre> masri cool :)
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: you can even setup a local repo with up to date debs and use the minimal ISO in PXE boot with the local server as a repo, you can then install from that (fast)
[23:09] <iKernel> not sure DryGrain
[23:09] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, im not sure if your method will work
[23:09] <DryGrain> D_K_2, are you using gnome?
[23:09] <sobersabre> LjL: ok. no problems.
[23:10] <ben64_> I have a laptop with Ubuntu 9.10, How do I bring up that power history graph thing on Ubuntu karmic? I had it on Edgy, but I never knew the command to start it. I don't have a battery to pull out to get the battery icon on the taskbar to get it.
[23:10] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, if i was install linux, u would be 100% eright
[23:10] <nightcrow> right
[23:10] <nightcrow> but this is different
[23:10] <nightcrow> very
[23:10] <FloodBot2> nightcrow: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:10] <josvuk> How to make my terminal beep? (I'm on ubuntu9.04ppc and gnome-terminal 2.26)?
[23:10] <DryGrain> D_K_2, in the System Monitor there is a list of all running processes
[23:10] <sobersabre> mostapha: nice talking to you :)
[23:10] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, http://netbootdisk.com/pxeboot.htm
[23:10] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: so when from inside your ssh to the computer running vsftpd, you run "ftp localhost", you get an error?
[23:10] <josvuk> Are there anywhere some ubuntu FAQ's
[23:11] <ubun00b> how do i flash bios in ubuntu to disable bios password
[23:11] <LjL> josvuk: type /topic
[23:11] <mostapha> sobersabre: nice talking with you too, looking forward more if it's ok with u
[23:11] <DrRobinTosh> ohh LjL, 500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in 'chown_username':whoever
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: if you are using a windows server to install windows then you are in the wrong channel
[23:11] <sobersabre> mostapha: no probs :) see you around!
[23:11] <sobersabre> ubun00b: are you the owner of the computer ?
[23:11] <D_K_2> DryGrain: cool, thanks man
[23:12] <nightcrow> im not :)
[23:12] <nightcrow> lol
[23:12] <DryGrain> yay i helped :D
[23:12] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, im concerned that you havent fully understood me :)
[23:12] <mostapha> sobersabre: b2olak, I'm trying to create a USB startup disk, but it's not working I keep on getting error.
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> ubun00b: if you have physical access, shutdown the pc take all power connections from it, open the case and take out the bios battery then go to bed
[23:12] <nightcrow> i think my english my not be good enough
[23:12] <nightcrow> ok
[23:12] <nightcrow> how about this, i want to pxe boot into dos using a linux server
[23:12] <nightcrow> :)
[23:12] <ubun00b> ActionParsnip, i tryed that i left the battery out for 24 hrs
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> ubun00b: in the morning, battery back in, power in, no more password
[23:12] <mostapha> sobersabre: I get that error An uncaught exception was raised:
[23:13] <sobersabre> mostapha: you need to run syslinux on the disk first, there should be a "howto" ready to copy paste.
[23:13] <mostapha> [Errno 2] No such file or directory
[23:13] <ubun00b> ActionParsnip, should i leave it out longer?
[23:13] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: ehm, did you uncomment the line that says "#chown_username=whoever" in /etc/vsftpd.conf...?
[23:13] <nightcrow> sorry, using a linux pxe server
[23:13] <mostapha> sobersabre: Ah Ok I'll check it out.
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> ubun00b: did you have the power cable connected and turned on
[23:13] <dan85> if /boot, /, /home and swap... how each partition should be assigned (as primary, or as logical)?
[23:13] <ubun00b> ActionParsnip, no the machine was off and everything was unplugged.
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: you can't DOS is its own OS
[23:13] <mostapha> sobersabre: syslinux /dev/sdb1 ??
[23:14] <nightcrow> i can if i bind a DOS boot disk to the linux pxe server
[23:14] <sobersabre> mostapha: google for "ubuntu boot flash disk"
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> ubun00b: ok have it all wired up but shutdown and find the CMOS reset jumper and switch it to reset
[23:14] <DrRobinTosh> LjL, yes i did
[23:14] <mostapha> sobersabre: ok
[23:14] <Alan502> good day :) i dont know what exactly happened but my wi-fi stopped to work
[23:14] <mostapha> sobersabre: thanks
[23:14] <sobersabre> mostapha: I don't remember the exact syntax.
[23:14] <Alan502> it works on windows, but it doesnt work on backtrack or ubuntu
[23:14] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: well, perhaps it's time to comment it back and restart the service ;)
[23:14] <mostapha> sobersabre: np :)
[23:14] <sobersabre> I remember following the howto, and it worked.
[23:14] <Alan502> i dont know what is happening :S
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: you can boot to DOS and use ghost.exe but you need a ghost server to broadcast the image
[23:14] <ubun00b> ActionParsnip, ok i'll have to google for the manual for the cmos jumper for this type of computer i'll try that next thank you
[23:15] <nightcrow> does the ghost server run on linux?#
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> ubun00b: most bios flashers are windows based but can usually be done in DOS
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: no on windows, its a paid for product
[23:15] <KSid> Hi guys,
[23:15] <sobersabre> ubun00b: is this a desktop or a laptop ?
[23:15] <sobersabre> KSid: hi.
[23:16] <Jamed> dan85: /boot 256mb (if you dont leave more than 2 kernels in there) /20-30gb /home depend on your needs, i have 60gb swap 2xRAM if you have less than 1gb RAM alse 1xRAM
[23:16] <nightcrow> ah, i see
[23:16] <KSid> I'm cross posting from the server channel as it's not a server specific query
[23:16] <nightcrow> do you have its name?
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: http://www.symantec.com/norton/ghost
[23:16] <DrRobinTosh> LjL, same thing
[23:16] <sobersabre> KSid: this sentence was ... redundant.
[23:16] <onofrio> who can try if my firewall is ok?   test http://onofrio.go.dyndns.org
[23:16] <DrRobinTosh> conntion refushed
[23:16] <Jamed> dan85: *else
[23:16] <DrRobinTosh> i ran sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
[23:16] <General1337> hey
[23:16] <nightcrow> ok ActionParsnip
[23:16] <nightcrow> ill try that out
[23:16] <KSid> sobersabre: fair enough... on to the question then
[23:16] <nightcrow> thank you
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> onofrio: http://pastie.org/716586
[23:16] <KSid> I don't have apache or mod_php installed however aptitude is telling me an update is available for both
[23:16] <KSid> I do have php5 installed (which it also says needs updating) and apache-utils (which doesn't) but I haven't installed the actual apache server
[23:16] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: does it give you the same error as before then?
[23:17] <pdragon_> hello everyone
[23:17] <DrRobinTosh> yes
[23:17] <General1337> I'm having trouble using the disk utilities, it keeps saying:
[23:17] <ParkerM> hi
[23:17] <General1337> Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.
[23:17] <General1337> ped_disk_new() failed
[23:17] <DrRobinTosh> wait
[23:17] <onofrio> ojk action
[23:17] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: about user 'whoever'? even with that commented out?
[23:17] <sobersabre> KSid: it means they ARE installed....
[23:17] <General1337> I also can't use gparted
[23:17] <DrRobinTosh> LjL, Pm plz
[23:17] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, does that have a built in pxe server?
[23:17] <General1337> gparted does not detect ANY partitions
[23:17] <sobersabre> KSid: you can check by running dpkg -l | grep apache
[23:17] <Clooluss> how can i get my power icon back? It has disappeared from the panel. I can create a simple "power off" icon but I'd like one that gives me the shutdown/ restart/ log off choice.
[23:17] <pdragon_> ok here is the problem i am having
[23:17] <ParkerM> Could anyone help me get my sound working?
[23:17] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: i'd rather speak in the channel, so someone else can chip in if they can.
[23:17] <Rods_Tiger> certain things don't work with "sudo gem install" - I have to revert to using "sudo apt-get install" for them
[23:17] <pdragon_> i made a init.d script but it dose not start up on boot
[23:17] <DrRobinTosh> its too busy
[23:17] <KSid> sobersabre: They aren't installed, I've already checked
[23:18] <DrRobinTosh> i can't keep up
[23:18] <pdragon_> how can i make it start on boot
[23:18] <KSid> sobersabre: this is the second time this has come up
[23:18] <what> !sound
[23:18] <sobersabre> KSid: why and when it happened before ?
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> nightcrow: possibly. I havent used it since 1999
[23:19] <pdragon_> anyone ?.
[23:19] <DrRobinTosh> LjL, ok, so i changed the port to 20 and thats connection refused. so i left it default, (21) and that says Error -203
[23:19] <nightcrow> ActionParsnip, it doesnt
[23:19] <KSid> sobersabre: The last time there was an update to the core php files aptitude wanted to install the apache packages
[23:19] <nightcrow> so im back to square one
[23:19] <pdragon_> drrobintosh are you trying to ssh >/
[23:19] <nightcrow> i just searched through the manual for pxe
[23:19] <DrRobinTosh> pdragon_, No FTP
[23:19] <sobersabre> KSid: I don't understand do you have php installed ?
[23:20] <pdragon_> did you allow it throw the linux firewall > or the router firewall
[23:20] <Iowan> pdragon: What version - Karmic uses services
[23:20] <chatZilla> has anyone used Slax
[23:20] <pdragon_> the most resant
[23:20] <DrRobinTosh> pdragon_, its got no firewall, and its inside my network
[23:20] <sobersabre> KSid: I think you're missing something about aptitude :)
[23:20] <ParkerM> Could anyone here help me get my sound working?
[23:21] <sobersabre> KSid: it is SMART :)
[23:21] <pdragon_> linux has a build in firewall and sometimes you have to allow stuff to get throw if you did not config it right
[23:21] <DrRobinTosh> oh ok
[23:21] <DrRobinTosh> how i do that?
[23:21] <sobersabre> KSid: I think what happened is that one of the packages related to php is either of:
[23:21] <KSid> sobersabre: Yep, I have php5, php5-cgi and php5-cli (as well as some php modules) but not libapache2-mod-php5 or the apache server
[23:21] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: err, there's no other description than error 203...? look, i'm on hardy myself, and vsftpd works locally *out of the box*, without changing *anything* in the config file. perhaps you've changed a bit too much. "sudo apt-get --purge remove vsftpd ; sudo apt-get install vsftpd" to restore it to defaults, then see if it works any better, at least locally
[23:21] <Guest78799> I need to create a boot image, but the USB Startup Disk Creator isn't detecting my USB drive.  Any ideas?
[23:21] <Jamed> !sound| ParkerM
[23:21] <dan85> from these: /boot, /, /home, swap... which should be primary or logical and why... also, in which order to place them?
[23:21] <pdragon_> well what ftp program are you using and did you just apt-get it and that was it
[23:21] <BluesKaj> pdragon_, make sure you update your rc.d file , sudo update-rc.d
[23:21] <sobersabre> KSid: are you using non apache web server ?
[23:22] <KSid> sobersabre: lighttpd
[23:22] <pdragon_> so just update it and that is it
[23:22] <KSid> sobersabre: from the developer's ppa instead of the official Ubuntu one for 8.10
[23:22] <payne_> hey
[23:22] <sobersabre> KSid: I think you're witnessing a consipiracy :) I think people form php related packages add apache as dependency.
[23:22] <ParkerM> ok well how do i access volume control in 9.10
[23:22] <sobersabre> KSid: this often happens in ppa sources. people assume assumptions, you know...
[23:23] <ParkerM> sound preferences don't have a file option
[23:23] <KSid> sobersabre: php isn't from a ppa, lighttpd is from a ppa
[23:23] <linuxguy2009> anyone have a logitech vx nano cordless mouse working in ubuntu 9.10?
[23:23] <pdragon_> Bluekaj what is the level for it to boot with the tty
[23:23] <payne_> I am having trouble installing the flashplayer for x86_64
[23:23] <KSid> sobersabre: php is from the official ubuntu repo
[23:23] <lloyd> hey guys is the installation of adobe flash in xubuntu the same with ubuntu?
[23:23] <pdragon_> yes
[23:24] <KSid> sobersabre: You're right.... grrrrr....
[23:24] <sobersabre> KSid: Oh, ok. then you need to investigate which package depends on apache, and contact its maintainer :)
[23:24] <sobersabre> KSid: what about ?
[23:24] <KSid> sobersabre: The official php5 package depends on mod_php
[23:24] <pdragon_> lloyd yes they are the same
[23:24] <BluesKaj> pdragon_, you may have to create a symlink to
[23:24] <lloyd> @pdragon ok
[23:24] <sobersabre> KSid: it maybe doesn't really depend, it is probably "suggested"
[23:25] <pdragon_> yes the file name in my init.d is wlan and i want it to run on boot
[23:25] <sobersabre> aptitude often refers to "suggests" and "recommends" as "depends".
[23:25] <DrRobinTosh> lloyd, are you from NZ?
[23:25] <KSid> sobersabre: sudo aptitude show php5
[23:25] <pdragon_> so i dont have to use xwindows to run my wlan
[23:25] <KSid> sobersabre: can you check if I read the output correctly?
[23:25] <ubun00b> Actionparsnip got it thanksso much !!
[23:25] <sobersabre> KSid: moment...
[23:26] <lloyd> @DrRobinTosh whats NZ?
[23:26] <KSid> sobersabre: Ah, I think i've got it
[23:26] <DrRobinTosh> lloyd, New Zealand, you must not be then :P
[23:26] <KSid> sobersabre: It's not aptitude being odd, it's apticron
[23:26] <lloyd> im from the philippines, asia
[23:26] <DrRobinTosh> ok
[23:27] <sobersabre> KSid: apticron ?
[23:27] <KSid> sobersabre: Aptitude is happy not installing apache stuff, apticron though has picked ALL of the dependencies and listed them as ready for upgrading
[23:27] <DrRobinTosh> LjL. IT WORKS!!!!
[23:27] <DrRobinTosh> Thanks LjL!
[23:27] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: you're welcome
[23:27] <sobersabre> I have no idea who is apticron. I'm familiar with dpkg, dselect, apt-get, and even aptitude.
[23:27] <DrRobinTosh> LjL, one thing
[23:27] <Bigshot_> i installed linux on /dev/sdd  and bootloader all in /dev/sdd it is USB flash drive and i am stuck at grub> prompt how can i boot into linux?
[23:27] <KSid> sobersabre: apticron runs 'aptitude update' as a cronjob and sends an email with the list of packages waiting for an upgrade
[23:28] <DrRobinTosh> where do i put my www files?
[23:28] <sobersabre> KSid: I never do such frightening things like aptitude update as a cronjob...
[23:28] <Bigshot_> i installed linux on /dev/sdd  and bootloader also in /dev/sdd it is USB flash drive and i am stuck at grub> prompt how can i boot into linux?
[23:28] <Bigshot_> **
[23:28] <KSid> sobersabre: it seems like it's not as intelligent as aptitude and lists all dependencies instead of just the packages that actually need it
[23:28] <KSid> sobersabre: It runs the update command, not upgrade
[23:28] <payne_> I am having trouble installing the flashplayer for x86_64
[23:29] <KSid> sobersabre: I manually upgrade if/when needed
[23:29] <LjL> DrRobinTosh: uh, in /var/www i suppose... but that's not related to vsftpd right?
[23:29] <ParkerM> !flash payne_
[23:29] <sobersabre> KSid: I understand. still... it's a receipt for SPAM from myself. why would I even think of it ?
[23:29] <sobersabre> KSid: you get updates sometimes 10 times a day.
[23:29] <payne_> ParkerM,
[23:29] <payne_> ParkerM,  wut
[23:29] <sobersabre> and sometimes the pkg list is long.
[23:29] <ParkerM> !flash| payne_
[23:29] <payne_> ok
[23:30] <payne_> ParkerM,  thanks
[23:30] <ParkerM> yep
[23:30] <KSid> sobersabre: The cron job runs once a day and I only have a small number of installed packages because it's a server not a desktop system
[23:30] <pdragon_> how come most of the newbies don't just use applications/ Ubuntu software center and that will do it for them
[23:30] <frog> E: Package libxml1 has no installation candidate.
[23:30] <sobersabre> KSid: I understand you may do what you do if you maintain 1 server.
[23:30] <frog> how can i fix this?
[23:31] <pdragon_> Frog use apt-get install libxml1
[23:31] <KSid> sobersabre: I agree, I'll need a better idea if I have multiple servers
[23:31] <pdragon_> try that
[23:31] <frog>  Package libxml1 has no installation candidate pdragon_
[23:31] <sobersabre> KSid: you will come to mailing lists or RSS
[23:31] <sobersabre> :)
[23:31] <pdragon_> ok one sec
[23:31] <KSid> sobersabre: (un)fortunately I'm not there yet ;)
[23:32] <sobersabre> KSid: are you sure you want to be "there" ?
[23:32] <danny> howdy folks
[23:32] <DrRobinTosh> ty Ljl
[23:32] <DrRobinTosh> bbs shower
[23:32] <pdragon_> frog have you tried apt-get update
[23:32] <sobersabre> danny: howdy.
[23:33] <payne_> ParkerM,  thanks
[23:33] <danny> Can someone recommend a great "how to" guide on how to browse my windows shared folders through ubuntu?  I've looked at a lot (a LOT) of guides and still can't seem to get it working
[23:33] <frog> pdragon_: but i must first add to app.source
[23:33] <danny> My main problem seems to be setting up my Ubuntu workgroup
[23:34] <KSid> sobersabre: eventually, get enough projects off the ground then I'd be happy
[23:34] <pdragon_> so you have no apt-get web souce
[23:34] <KSid> sobersabre:  either have multiple servers or one ginormous machine that eats babies for breakfast
[23:34] <KSid> sobersabre: ;)
[23:34] <frog> pdragon_: sry, tried to update aptitude
[23:34] <sobersabre> danny: it's not enough to look at the "how to" guide. it would be useful if you read it...
[23:34] <pdragon_> frog ok try this sudo apt-get upgrade
[23:34] <danny> a linux user who's pedantic with semantics, what a shock
[23:34] <danny> :P
[23:34] <frog> ja, works now mkdir canon
[23:34] <sobersabre> KSid: I don't like machines that eat babies.
[23:35] <danny> ok, i "read" a lot of guides
[23:35] <sobersabre> danny: and ... read = understood ?
[23:35] <pdragon_> frog so did that help
[23:35] <KSid> sobersabre: thanks for helping me out, much appreciated
[23:35] <frog> sorry... pdragon_ ya, works, thanks
[23:35] <sobersabre> KSid: no probs.
[23:35] <sobersabre> welcome :)
[23:35] <frog> yep pdragon_
[23:35] <danny> read, followed instructiosn to a T, understood, but getting errors that the "if you get these errors" sections don't cover
[23:35] <frog> tahnks
[23:35] <pdragon_> ksid what kind of server you have
[23:36] <pdragon_> well nvm lool
[23:36] <sobersabre> danny: I'll tell you why I'm so annoying. I didn't do ANYTHING to do what you did, and I'm able to browse windows networks.
[23:36] <danny> well it took a lot of work just to get my wireless adapter to work
[23:36] <sobersabre> danny: are you working inside a domain or a workgroup ?
[23:36] <danny> workgroup
[23:36] <danny> and workgroup is what's causing the issue
[23:36] <danny> i can't edit my smb.conf to change the workgroup
[23:36] <sobersabre> danny: moment. I'll ask you basic questions... like a doctor :)
[23:37] <pdragon_> what is danny issue
[23:37] <danny> can't browse windows networks, using samba, or pyneighborhood
[23:37] <sobersabre> danny: 1st interesting question - if you read "how to guide" most of the work is around smb.conf
[23:38] <pdragon_> and sobersabre you can borwse the network computers with only being on a workgroup
[23:38] <sobersabre> pdragon_: have you seen me claiming the oposite ?
[23:38] <danny> sobre - yes smb.conf
[23:38] <pdragon_> i have 4 laptops and 1 linux server on a work group and i can see all them fine with a windows machien
[23:38] <sobersabre> danny:  if you cannot edit it... how did you get to the problem ? :)
[23:39] <danny> i open smb.conf, it's "read only", and if i try to overwrite the file with my altered workgroup info, it won't overwrite
[23:39] <sobersabre> danny: anyway, I understand your status.
[23:39] <claw6> anybody know a way to minimize opengl games ? im talking about ut2004
[23:39] <pdragon_> danny you will need to run the editor as root or sudo
[23:39] <sobersabre> pdragon_: do you wish to take over and help danny ?
[23:39] <pdragon_> the smb.conf is locked to root premissons only
[23:39] <danny> pdragon ah yeah ok...i just did gedit i think
[23:40] <pdragon_> just trying to help you more
[23:40] <serryees> Enter text here...h
[23:40] <sobersabre> well, I'm ok with your taking over... go go go  :)
[23:40] <danny> :P
[23:40] <pdragon_> your doing just fine
[23:40] <sobersabre> nono I insist.
[23:40] <pdragon_> we both can help him i will just sit back
[23:41] <sobersabre> pdragon_: I was exactly thinking about sitting back, seriously, go ahead.
[23:41] <epinky> :)
[23:41] <sobersabre> so, I'm off for tea.
[23:41] <pdragon_> i is finished loading my new game lol
[23:41] <pdragon_> was killing time helping out
[23:43] <jackeveryman> Hey, I dual-boot winXP and Ubuntu, just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 using update manager. XP is no longer visible in GRUB :o Can anyone help?
[23:43] <sobersabre> danny: now, do you have dns working where you're browsing windows network ?
[23:44] <sobersabre> I mean, can you ping machines by their names or by IP ?
[23:45] <bluesscream> jackeveryman: run sudo update-grub
[23:45] <Wilabob> Hi, I'm having problems with sound in ubuntu 9.10 can anyone help?
[23:46] <jackeveryman> bluesscream: any way to check if that worked without rebooting?
[23:47] <TheFunkbomb> How come when I type Users into terminal, it shows me logged in multiple times?
[23:48] <lstarnes> TheFunkbomb: each terminal session counts as a separate login
[23:48] <LjL> TheFunkbomb: because you have more than one terminal open?
[23:48] <sobersabre> TheFunkbomb: it shows you all the ttys your user is using...
[23:48] <TheFunkbomb> I see
[23:48] <TheFunkbomb> I only had one terminal open so it's my normal login +terminal?
[23:48] <sobersabre> if you're logged in graphically you usually also take up a tty.
[23:49] <TheFunkbomb> gotcha
[23:49] <rayto> /
[23:49] <Wilabob> I followed the directions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure and my sound still isn't working... Can someone help?
[23:49] <ShapeShifter499> hi, happy thanksgiving
[23:49] <borreguito> hi Wilabob
[23:49] <sobersabre> but if you log in via ssh, it's 1 tty.
[23:49] <sobersabre> unless you're connected multiple times.
[23:49] <bluesscream> jackeveryman: have a look to /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[23:50] <TheFunkbomb> I see now
[23:50] <TheFunkbomb> thanks
[23:50] <ShapeShifter499> how do I make firefox use the karmic notifiaction system?
[23:50] <bluesscream> jackeveryman: but don't edit this directly
[23:50] <ShapeShifter499> *notification
[23:51] <sobersabre> ShapeShifter499: what do you mean ?
[23:51] <jackeveryman> bluesscream: it's empty.. And menu.lst has what I saw on startup. (I'm not messing around as su.. yet)
[23:51] <scottandmonique> has  anyone setup elisa/moovida to UPNP to xbox360
[23:51] <bluesscream> jackeveryman: hmm
[23:51] <scottandmonique> im using Ushare currently but would like to look at moovida as a media center alternative
[23:51] <Wilabob> I have been able to get my wifi video and dual booting working but I need sound now... Any suggestions? I already visited https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[23:52] <lstarnes> jackeveryman: if you upgrade to 9.10 instead of installing it from scratch, it will use the old grub (and menu.lst) instead of grub2 (and grub.cfg)
[23:52] <sobersabre> Wilabob: do you think telling us what sound card you have will slow down the time to resolution of your problem ?
[23:52] <andrey> ugh, I forgot how to make dbus work with hp-toolbox
[23:52] <andrey> tips please
[23:52] <sobersabre> I mean the extrasensory people have just left the channel....
[23:52] <lstarnes> jackeveryman: you can upgrade from grub to grub2, but I forget the procedure
[23:53] <payne_> what is the best  torrent application for linux
[23:53] <erUSUL> !best | payne_
[23:53] <LjL> !best | payne_
[23:53] <Wilabob> sobersabre: How do I find that out? It's built in so I can't look on the card
[23:53] <mike77pl> hi, do you know any IRC for CSS and JavaScript coding?
[23:53] <sobersabre> Wilabob: can you open a terminal ?
[23:53] <jackeveryman> lstarnes: What are the odds that upgrading to GRUB2 will automatically detect my XP partition?
[23:53] <usser> !torrent
[23:53] <payne_> what is the "ideal"  torrent application for linux
[23:53] <ShapeShifter499> sobersabre: you know how it pops up in the corner when you connected to the net or when new mail comes through evolution mail? well thats what I want with firefox(ie downloads, etc.)
[23:53] <sobersabre> Wilabob: do you know how to type in commands ?
[23:53] <LjL> mike77pl: there is a ##javascript
[23:53] <derenrich> anyone here making pumpkin soup today? i'm considering adding peanut butter to mine and i'm looking for advice
[23:53] <lstarnes> jackeveryman: I'm not sure
[23:54] <LjL> payne_: changing the word doesn't change the meaning. ask bestbot for opinions
[23:54] <lstarnes> jackeveryman: there is proably a way to manually add XP to menu/.lst
[23:54] <lstarnes> *menu.lst
[23:54] <sobersabre> ShapeShifter499: I think it is related to linux d-bus support, or maybe gnome related linux extensions.
[23:54] <Wilabob> sobersabre: Yep... You know how many of those I had to use to get wifi working?
[23:54] <TheFunkbomb> and you're looking for advice in a linux channel?
[23:54] <usser> payne_, default "transmission" works just fine
[23:54] <payne_> !torrent
[23:54] <LjL> payne_: or give criteria for people to actually give customized opinions
[23:54] <m4rk> hello. where are the ubuntu one files stored?
[23:54] <sobersabre> Wilabob: no I don't know. run this command: lspci
[23:54] <usser> m4rk, on the cloud
[23:54] <LjL> m4rk: probably better to ask in #ubuntuone
[23:54] <sobersabre> and look at the line "Audio"
[23:54] <sobersabre> I mean with "Audio" in it.
[23:55] <jackeveryman> lstarnes: that's what I figure, really that strikes me as the way to go but I'm not sure how... I'll keep my on on here while googling menu.lst
[23:55] <bluesscream> jackeveryman: sudo update-grub will do it
[23:55] <ShapeShifter499> sobersabre: do you know how to do it?
[23:55] <Wilabob> sobersabre: Its intel 82801AA AC'97
[23:56] <m4rk> thanks guys
[23:56] <sobersabre> ShapeShifter499: I am not sure there is such thing.
[23:56] <m4rk> I asked in #ubuntuone
[23:56] <sobersabre> Wilabob: so... now, that we know you HAVE audio card...
[23:56] <sobersabre> what exactly
[23:56] <sobersabre> is the problem ?
[23:56] <Wilabob> sobersabre: lol
[23:57] <jackeveryman> bluesscream: sudo update-grub will update grub1 to grub2? If so, how can I check the current version?
[23:57] <Wilabob> sobersabre: No sound. My speakers work in XP
[23:57] <usser> jackeveryman, sudo apt-get install grub2 will update grub
[23:57] <ShapeShifter499> sobersabre: hmm....
[23:57] <ShapeShifter499> sobersabre: more googling I will do...
[23:57] <sobersabre> Wilabob: ok. do you see a little speaker at the top right corner of gnome (if you use gnome) ?
[23:57] <Wilabob> sobersabre: Yep its on full volume
[23:58] <usser> jackeveryman, by default its going to chainload from old grub on startup. make sure grub2 boots all your OSs, when satisfied boot into ubuntu and run grub2-install
[23:58] <sobersabre> ok, if you RIGHT click it ... what do you see ?
[23:58] <ubuntu_> halo
[23:58] <ShapeShifter499> sobersabre: thanks for the help anyways
[23:58] <inspiron630> i want to set a const int MAX_X for my class. I want it to be set in one place, instead of initializing it in all the constructors. what are my options
[23:58] <Wilabob> sobersabre: mute and sound preferences (mute is off)
[23:58] <sobersabre> ShapeShifter499: try searching in the add-ons of firefox.
[23:59] <sobersabre> Wilabob: do you mind going to "sound preferences" ?
[23:59] <usser> jackeveryman, actually the command to run is not grub2-install its something like update-from-grub-legacy if im not mistaken, it will tell you when you install grub2 package
[23:59] <bluesscream> jackeveryman: no, just after you did ussers's hint you will do this and get your osses accessible
[23:59] <ShapeShifter499> sobersabre: I did, all the add ons don't work
[23:59] <Wilabob> sobersabre: OK, now what?
[23:59] <usser> inspiron630, constants.h file
[23:59] <usser> inspiron630, create it and put all your constants there
[23:59] <ShapeShifter499> well I gotta go, bye everyone, mom just finished the turkey
[23:59] <sobersabre> what do you see ?
