[11:25] <WaltherFI> glebihan: i've fixed the grub1 a couple of times with chroot, familiar with it
[11:25] <sim-value> IdleOne, thanks, ill use the create bootable USB option than
[11:26] <IdleOne> sim-value: go with unetbootin, better results for most
[11:26] <WaltherFI> IdleOne: huh, weird inconsistency
[11:28] <WaltherFI> glebihan: any ideas? chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
[11:29] <Skilz> How do I put myself in the path so I don't have to sudo iwconfig sudo ifconfig ect?
[11:29] <rileyp>  Is anyone using irsend in natty I cant get it to work
[11:30] <WaltherFI> glebihan: bah, wasted too much time on this. I'll just download the natty iso and reinstall the thing, faster than trying to fix grub and upgrade
[11:30] <WaltherFI> 'nyway, thanks
[11:30] <WaltherFI> bye for now
[11:34] <flores> hi folks, I think I have a very useful information for Ubuntu users, I have bougt a brand new acer aspire 5250, on which I tried to install ubuntu 11.04, and upon boot I just got a screen freezed. The strange behaviur was that if I was connect to a network cable, it was totally nice, but as soon as i unplugged the cable i hung, and i had to force shutdown, and could not reboot. The solution I have found was to configure the laptop to try fi
[11:34] <sim-value> IdleOne, does Unetbootin support 11.04? only 10.04 is listed
[11:35] <jrib> flores: you may as well finish since I imagine a very frustrated googler if you don't but this isn't the right place for this.  Use bugs.ubuntu.com if it is a bug or put it up on help.ubuntu.com/community somewhere
[11:35] <dr_willis> sim-value,  check unetbootin homepage for newer versions. Or the Pendrivelinux tools for other similer tools.
[11:35] <IdleOne> sim-value: it should
[11:35] <IdleOne> also see what dr_willis said
[11:36] <suppoa> how do I make it so when I boot up, it has a multiuser interface and I am forced to log in by inserting my keyring password
[11:36] <dr_willis> sim-value,  I think it should also work for slightly newer versions. its doing the same basic operations for them all.
[11:36] <jrib> flores: your message was truncated at "the laptop to try fi"
[11:36] <dr_willis> suppoa,  'multiuser interface'?  System normally boots to the GDM login, or auto logins. keyring is asked for when the user logs in.
[11:37] <dr_willis> or autologsin - if the keyring is set to have a password.
[11:37] <suppoa> dr_willis how do I change it so it doesnt auto login and asks for my password
[11:38] <dr_willis> suppoa,  its in the Login settings somewhere..  under GDM or Login,
[11:38] <flores> jrib: hi ok, but what you mean with "frustrated googler"?
[11:38] <dr_willis> I dont have the menus menoriuzed any more. :)
[11:38] <jrib> flores: these channels are logged so someone with the same problem will probably find this log now
[11:39] <jrib> flores: but since your message was truncated before you gave the solution, the person googling will likely be frustrated (hi googler)
[11:39] <dr_willis> 'configure the maptop to try fi.....................'
[11:40] <flores> jrib: ok, i will try another place to post
[11:40] <jrib> flores: please finish your message here (this one time)
[11:40] <dr_willis> flores,   you may want to put the question and answer on askubuntu.com also.
[11:40] <sim-value> Will Booting from USB stick work with an Ext4 partition?
[11:41] <dr_willis> sim-value,  should work.
[11:41] <dr_willis> sim-value,  ive done full installs to usb sticks using ext4, and made grub2 setups booting iso files using ext2/3/4 also.
[11:42] <jasonmsp> Hey all.  I have an executable file that I have setup in my /opt folder and I want to run it from the GUI side of ubuntu.  How can I make it available as if it were an app?
[11:42] <jrib> jasonmsp: create a .desktop file for it
[11:42] <sim-value> dr_willis, thanks, installing the live image right now
[11:42] <Dori922> have a wiiiierd problem :s
[11:42] <jasonmsp> jrib:  thanks..  googling now
[11:43] <Dori922> im trying to SSH into a VM(UEC) using: sudo ssh -i /dir/mykey.priv ubuntu@$IPADDR
[11:43] <jrib> jasonmsp: in the gui you can look for "create launcher" option (I think it shows up when you right click on an executable
[11:43] <Dori922> and im getting back: sude: ssh -i: command not found
[11:44] <dr_willis> try just ssh -i  Dori922
[11:44] <dr_willis> i get $ ssh -i
[11:44] <dr_willis> ssh: option requires an argument -- i
[11:44] <Dori922> dr_willis:  without the mykey.priv?
[11:44] <dr_willis> Dori922,  without the sudo also...
[11:45] <Dori922> dr_willis:  now tried: ssh -i ubuntu@$IPADDR and got back same error, ssh -i command not found
[11:45] <jrib> that's a pretty strange error
[11:45] <dr_willis> try just 'ssh -i'
[11:46] <dr_willis> you ARE getting a space in there? :)
[11:46] <dr_willis> try just 'ssh       -i'
[11:46] <jrib> dr_willis: heh
[11:46] <dr_willis> this font - its hard to tell.
[11:46] <jasonmsp> jrib:  thanks!
[11:46] <Dori922> yeah theres a space :P
[11:47] <jrib> jasonmsp: you can also do it with alacarte, but I don't know how unity interacts with that
[11:47] <dr_willis> output of ssh -V may help also.
[11:47] <jrib> dr_willis: you should pastebin what you type and full error output (just copy and paste)
[11:47] <Dori922> ssh -i alone gives me a set of options including "[user@]hostname]"
[11:47] <jrib> erm
[11:47] <jrib> Dori922: you should pastebin what you type and full error output (just copy and paste)
[11:47] <dr_willis> so ssh -i, does work.. :) we just showed that...
[11:48] <jrib> jasonmsp: there's some discussion here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/13758/how-can-i-edit-create-new-launcher-items-in-unity-by-hand
[11:48] <jasonmsp> jrib: thanks
[11:48] <Dori922> im using a laptop for inet access and a server box/cloud box with no GUI/browser for the commands jrib
[11:48] <jrib> !pastebinit | Dori922
[11:48] <jasonmsp> jrib: no create launcher in 11.04 w/ right click
[11:48] <Dori922> im following commands from UEC's installation guide...
[11:48] <Dori922> \;9
[11:48] <Dori922> *:(
[11:49] <jrib> jasonmsp: apparently you can right click on desktop -> create launcher according to that last link
[11:49] <neocicak_> ok.. something nasty has just happened to my ubuntu. i got 'directory mounted in read only mode', and i had to go to recovery mode. Now i'm seeing scrolling 'directory inode'  'has unallocated block#' screen. the number keeps going on & on ..
[11:50] <dr_willis> neocicak,  your filesystem got currupted and/or/because of some hard drive errirs..
[11:50] <jasonmsp> jrib: your right.  on the desktop, not the file.  thanks
[11:50] <jrib> jasonmsp: no problem
[11:50] <dr_willis> neocicak,  so you rebooted and its fscking the filesystem it seems?
[11:50] <neocicak_> dr_willis : yeah
[11:51] <neocicak_> dr_willis : it doesnt seem its going to stop doing that auto fixing stuff :(
[11:51] <jasonmsp> jrib:  well that was the easiest thing ive done all day. Thanks for the help!
[11:51] <dr_willis> neocicak,  if the hd really had a major issue.. well.. it may take some time.. there may be lots of data loss also. - its hard to tell whats best to do at this time.
[11:52] <neocicak_> dr_willis: do you think it is a physical error (not recoverable?)
[11:52] <dr_willis> neocicak,  go to a differnt console, and look at dmest output
[11:52] <dr_willis> 'dmesg' output
[11:53] <maptz> Please, do anyone no how to modify the WINS server in samba. I try to edit /var/lib/samba/wins.dat but after a nmblookup, my name is not resolve and wins.dat remove my entries.
[11:54] <dr_willis> !info samba-doc
[11:54] <dr_willis> maptz,  the samba-doc package has several 'books' written about admining samba.  Ive rarely had to mess with the wins server part of the system.
[11:54] <ono_efeyu> any can help how to install appserv into ubuntu 11.4
[11:55] <dr_willis> maptz,  they may be a bit out of date depending on the current samba version however.
[11:55] <dr_willis> !info appserv
[11:55] <ArchLinuxman> hello
[11:55] <dr_willis> ono_efeyu,  and whats appserv?
[11:55] <ono_efeyu> so
[11:55] <ono_efeyu> if xampp
[11:56] <bullgard4_> My Natty has installed the packages linux-headers-2.6.38-10-generic and linux-headers-2.6.38-10-server. Description: "Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.38 on x_86_64" or "Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.38 on x86/x86_64" respectively. Do I need both?
[11:56] <dr_willis> each kernel has its own set of headers, needed when compiling modules and other things aganist the kernel.
[11:56] <ono_efeyu> dr_willis, i want install webserver on my ubuntu system
[11:56] <dr_willis> ono_efeyu,  apache is the normal web server. its in the repos. hteres others you can use.
[11:57] <dr_willis> !lamp
[11:57] <maptz> dr_willis: my issue is to resolve the name of my samba domain DOMAIN<1b>, from a bdc in another network than pdc to join it to the domain
[11:57] <ono_efeyu> ok, thanks for info
[11:58] <jrib> bullgard4_: no,  you don't need both.  But the reason you have both is because you have the corresponding metapackage installed for both -generic and -server.  You likely just want to choose the kernel you want to run and stick with that (remove either the metapackage for -server or -generic)
[11:58] <maptz> dr_willis: I read samba-doc since 1 month
[11:58] <dr_willis> maptz,  all i know on wins.. is  very little..  theres the #samba channel also.
[11:59] <Metaxa> Hi folks. Anyone here good with Xrandr?
[11:59] <ArchLinuxman> maptz: what is are you trying to do with samba
[11:59] <maptz> dr_willis: ok, thx for help
[12:00] <maptz> ArchLinuxman: I have a remote bdc, and I want to join it to the domain of my pdc
[12:01] <m_> anyone here with knowledge in ldap and pam_group
[12:01] <maptz> ArchLinuxman: When i try to join the domain or get the SID, my server is 'unable to find a suitable domain', but with IP argument it's work
[12:02] <maptz> ArchLinuxman: so i'm trying to solve my name resolution problem
[12:03] <m_> what's the difference between id and id USERNAME need help concerning groups
[12:04] <sim-value> Ok, for the Record, creating a 11.04 CD does not work with the unetbootin in the repositorys :)
[12:04] <ArchLinuxman> That is a Nat problem and futhermore does one machine control both nat and samba server.... I would say best to try samba channel and if all else fails try linuxquestions.org
[12:04] <chaddy> m_: id on its own just means the same as id <myusername>
[12:04] <maptz> I have no answers in samba channel
[12:06] <maptz> ArchLinuxman: Do you think it could be due to my environnement test (samba pdc is a virtual machine with nat enable on the host)?
[12:06] <bullgard4_> jrib: The only linux-image-2.6.38-10-* package which is installed on my comuter, is linux-image-2.6.38-10-server. (linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic is not installed.) Can I delete the package linux-headers-2.6.38-10-generic? What is the name of "the corresponding metapackage installed for both -generic and -server" that you are mentioning?
[12:07] <ArchLinuxman> maptz: your starting to try to many things at once and what is worse are you using ubuntu as the server....
[12:07] <maptz> ArchLinuxman: yes, i have a ubuntu server
[12:09] <ArchLinuxman> maptz: try a debian or slackware server if it is only for Samba!!!!! Ubuntu makes a great desktop ,but it can run it problems as a server...
[12:10] <Pici> ArchLinuxman: Please don't use this channel for spreading FUD
[12:11] <maptz> ArchLinuxman: thank you, I'll try that
[12:12] <ArchLinuxman> maptz: first off join samba pose question there I am not the authority on getting it to work properly it may be a simple fix
[12:12] <Lataria> hello
[12:13] <Lataria>  how can I determine if a por is open or blocker for my isp?
[12:13] <sim-value> rm -R * will only delete files / directorys in my current working folder, right?
[12:13] <Northernen> What is the problem if 'mount' lists my home folder as not mounted, yet I can see its contents (albeit there are problems writing to it)?
[12:13] <iceroot> sim-value: yes
[12:13] <sim-value> Northernen, is your disk full?
[12:14] <Northernen> sim-value, nowhere near it.
[12:14] <iceroot> sim-value: its better to use rm -r /path/foo/* instead of rm -r *
[12:14] <Northernen> sim-value, but it's not even listed in 'df -h'.
[12:15] <sim-value> iceroot, thanks, will note that command, but for now it seems i nuked only what I wanted
[12:15] <Northernen> sim-value, although I have an NTFS partition mounted under my /home, which is quite large. I wouldn't think that would affect it though.
[12:15] <maptz> ArchLinuxman: I'm currently waiting for answers in samba channel
[12:15] <sim-value> Northernen, is the NTFS partition your home partition, or is it just mounted there?
[12:15] <bullgard4_> Lataria: What is a "por"?
[12:16] <loloski1000> where can i download mobile worms
[12:16] <loloski1000> ?¿
[12:16] <Northernen> sim-value, it's mounted there. My home partition is a normal ext4 partition.
[12:16] <ArchLinuxman> Pici: After using 18+ distro's I dont spread FUD... Lets see first distro was Red Hat 7.2 and yes Samba worked with less hassle then ubuntu will ever work with ..... Ubuntu is the greatest desktop for linux  because it supports more hardware then any other linux distro ever..... as a server no to many updates for a process you want to work at all times not do dance
[12:16] <maptz> ArchLinuxman: I don't really enjoy to reinstall a debian because it's look be very close to work
[12:16] <rileyp>  Is anyone using irsend in natty I cant get it to work
[12:16] <splz> loloski1000, nowhere
[12:16] <sim-value> Northernen, did you check your /etc/fstab file?
[12:16] <Northernen> sim-value, /etc/fstab -> UUID=44C0B828C0B821DA /home/xxx/windows ntfs defaults 0 0
[12:16] <Lataria> bullgard4,  sorry port
[12:17] <sim-value> Northernen, ok, that answers that question...
[12:17] <loloski1000> splz thanks
[12:17] <ArchLinuxman> maptz: not now this must be on weekend with spare time also I would check to see all hardware is compatible before install
[12:18] <Northernen> sim-value, there's no entry for my home partition, but it's been working up till now, so I always assumed it was done automatically.
[12:18] <jrib> bullgard4_: so you want to use the -server kernel?  You probably have linux-headers-generic installed and linux-headers-server
[12:18] <coemd> hello how can i know my RAM, another think like /proc/meminfo
[12:18] <ArchLinuxman> maptz: you could open up a can of worms with a quick fix....
[12:18] <jrib> coemd: free -m
[12:19] <bullgard4_> Lataria: sudo netstat -tulpen | grep -v '<IP_ADDRESS>'  | grep -v '::1:'
[12:19] <sim-value> Northernen, there's an entry for my /home in my fstab, so that's probably the error
[12:20] <ArchLinuxman> maptz: Look get some other advice then just me... There are lots of people out there that could have a better way and great advice... I am not god I don't know everything...
[12:21] <Northernen> sim-value, bit odd though that I am able to use the partition though. Mind pasting your /home fstab entry? Not quite sure what to put as options.
[12:21] <coemd> jrib: with free -m when in Total 6000 that mean i have 6Gb
[12:21] <blackshirt> hello maptz
[12:21] <Lataria> thanks bullgard4
[12:21] <jrib> coemd: about that, sure
[12:21] <maptz> blackshirt: hello
[12:21] <bullgard4_> jrib: Yes: I want to use the -server kernel. --  Yes: the package linux-headers-generic is installed. --  Yes: The package linux-headers-server is installed.
[12:22] <jrib> coemd: free -m returns your memory in megabytes
[12:22] <Metaxa> Hi folks. My laptop is running 11.04, the laptop screen does not show anything and an external monitor is needed to see my desktop. xrandr shows the physical size of LDVS as 0mm x 0mm, How can I tell it that my screen is really there?
[12:22] <sim-value> Northernen, # /home was on /dev/sdb2 during installation
[12:22] <sim-value> UUID=1106a1f4-682e-4024-ba8a-be853ad66247 /home           ext4    defaults        0       2
[12:22] <jrib> bullgard4_: you have no need for linux-headers-generic
[12:22] <coemd> ok thanks
[12:22] <auronandace> coemd: 1Gb = 1024mb
[12:22] <Northernen> sim-value, cheers, will try.
[12:22] <blackshirt> maptz: how about your dual boot install ?
[12:23] <Guest87865> NickServ register 8524673<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:23] <sim-value> Northernen, But your UUID will be different of course
[12:23] <coemd> ok all right thanks
[12:23] <maptz> ArchLinuxman: Sure, but your warning on ubuntu server was an idea, I note it an then if I confirm it I'll follow you. So thank you for your advice
[12:24] <bullgard4_> jrib: So I have deleted the package linux-headers-generic.
[12:24] <maptz> blackshirt: my dual boot install? I'm currently working on samba
[12:24] <blackshirt> maptz: hufft..sorry..
[12:24] <IdleOne> Guest87865: you may want to add a / before that command and also change the password. (your phone number is not a good password)
[12:24] <blackshirt> maptz: setup bdc
[12:25] <jrib> bullgard4_: ok
[12:25] <Guest87865> i am sorry godbye
[12:25] <maptz> blackshirt: my bdc is up just don't want to resolve names and contact pdc
[12:25] <JakeR003> in firefox 5 the scrolling is too smooth.. how i can disable it?
[12:25] <bullgard4_> jrib: Can I also delete linux-headers-2.6.38-10-generic?
[12:25] <Lataria> hashashin,  hashashin,  well the port required for amule don't appear even in the list not the tcp not the udp
[12:25] <JakeR003> smooth scrollig is disabled but still too smooth
[12:25] <ArchLinuxman> maptz: its sound advice, but your setup or idea is the bigger question of why are you running a VM machine if you plan to do a regular install????
[12:26] <Lataria> bullgard4,  hashashin,  well the port required for amule don't appear even in the list not the tcp not the udp
[12:27] <jrib> bullgard4_: yes
[12:27] <bullgard4_> Lataria: I am not familiar with Amule. I cannot help you.
[12:28] <Gabriel`> Bom dia.
[12:29] <Northernen> sim-value, I think it works. Thank you!
[12:29] <sim-value> Northernen, nice :)
[12:29] <Metaxa> Hi Gabriel
[12:29] <maptz> ArchLinuxman: It's a choice of my sysadmin to keep network and systemes safe... just in case. I'm in internship so I'm working in virtual machines but i'm pretty sure my configuration work in prod environement
[12:30] <anli_> Strange, when I access a file, the file access time does not change in nautlius
[12:30] <anli_> nautilus
[12:30] <Lataria> I'm not asking about amule I need to open some ports that are not listed for netstat command
[12:31] <FaRoF4> Help me please...
[12:31] <chaddy> !ask
[12:32] <Northernen> sim-value, it's not working properly though, it lists my partition as having 160 GB (of 170 GB in total) free, but I still get error messages saying "write error: No space left on device".
[12:32] <ArchLinuxman> maptz: Wow, I was an inter for a hospital they kept trying to hire me..  Funny never got told to leave a server alone or the network alone...
[12:33] <sim-value> Northernen, maybe a Problem with permissions ? did you reboot?
[12:34] <LPhas> hello i've a problem. i got a python gstreamer program. if i start ubuntu, then open a shell then launch it it works, if i launch it via gnome-session-manager i get no audio. so 1) what is different launching a progrm via gnome-session-manager, 2 where can i get the logs of programs launched this way?
[12:34] <bazhang> !ot | ArchLinuxman
[12:35] <Northernen> sim-value, I'm in a sub directory within my own home directory, and the partition is mounted as rw. Shouldn't be a permission issue.
[12:35] <Northernen> Worth a try though. I'll be back.
[12:36] <ArchLinuxman> what is with all these haters in here.... Im not bothering a single person..... I'm not saying even for a minute that I don't like ubuntu.... I love it for desktop
[12:36] <maptz> ArchLinuxman: Lucky guy... in my case I'm punished with virtualbox :D
[12:36] <ArchLinuxman> maptz: I will meet you in the samba room
[12:37] <bazhang> ArchLinuxman, the excessive offtopic commentary is not needed nor welcome, that's what the #ubuntu-offtopic channel is for

[12:39] <Metaxa> How much time is ok to allow before I can repost my question?
[12:39] <abb_a> please what software in ubuntu will allow me run programs(on different systems ) in parallel while controlling from my own system
[12:39] <popey> abb_a: ssh
[12:39] <IdleOne> Metaxa: usually 5-10 minutes is fine
[12:40] <mwaijandeg> Ikonia: Hello

[12:41] <Metaxa> Hi folks. My laptop is running 11.04, the laptop screen does not show anything and an external monitor is needed to see my desktop. xrandr shows the physical size of LDVS as 0mm x 0mm, How can I tell it that my screen is really there?
[12:41] <sre-su> Is it safe to empty /var/cache/apt/archives/ ?
[12:41] <jpds> sre-su: Yes.
[12:41] <abb_a> popey jpds thanks will I be able to run parallel programs ?
[12:41] <jpds> sre-su: That's what apt-get clean does.
[12:41] <jpds> abb_a: Yes.
[12:41] <popey> abb_a: such as?
[12:41] <mwaijandeg> Ikonia: at least
[12:42] <Kartagis> I have a problem. I'm using google docs, I create a document, and the moment I hit the middle button to paste a link, it goes to that link. any ideas?
[12:42] <ikonia> great
[12:42] <mwaijandeg> Ikonia: am not satsfied
[12:42] <sre-su> Thanks jpds
[12:42] <IdleOne> Kartagis: use ctrl+v instead.
[12:42] <mwaijandeg> ikonia: but I have not satisfied
[12:42] <ikonia> mwaijandeg: what's the issue ?
[12:43] <Kartagis> IdleOne: and go back to windows days?
[12:43] <Kartagis> IdleOne: but isn't this some kind of bug?
[12:44] <IdleOne> Kartagis: keyboard shortcuts were hardly invented by windows. and it does sound like a bug but sounds like a google doc bug. might want to check with google.
[12:44] <abb_a> popey e.g. running the same codes on 2 diff machines i.e. in parallel
[12:44] <mwaijandeg> ikonia: one of you guys have stared the issue of official version that UE is not one of which are said to be.

[12:46] <bullgard4_> jrib: Grub 2 shows a boot entry "Linux 2.6.38-8-generic on /dev/sda1". I had done '~$ sudo update-grub'. Can you tell me why Synaptic shows that the package linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic is not installed?
[12:46] <abb_a> popey, jpds e.g. running the same codes on 2 diff machines i.e. in parallel
[12:47] <mwaijandeg> ikonia: yes, Ultimate Edition I mean.
[12:47] <jpds> abb_a: codes?
[12:47] <ikonia> mwaijandeg: no versions are supported
[12:47] <abb_a> jpds yes
[12:50] <escott> bullgard4_, check with dpkg -l "*linux*". synaptic is probably just going to show linux-image
[12:51] <popey> abb_a: yes, you can run any arbitrary command on a remote box, even on multiple machines with ssh
[12:52] <Sidewinder1> jpds, I think he (abb_a) means scripts/programs.
[12:53] <abb_a> Sidewinder1 yes thanks

[13:07] <bullgard4_> escott: '~$ dpkg -l "*linux*" ' lists the package »linux-headers-2.6.38-10-generic«. This is the only entry having 'generic' in its name. So the results of Synaptic and dpkg do not contradict. Why does Grub 2 show a boot entry "Linux 2.6.38-8-generic on /dev/sda1 ?

[13:07] <escott> bullgard4, its not generic is "linux-image-2..."
[13:07] <Sidewinder1> jayD1, Have you checked launchpad.net for a bug regarding that particular driver?
[13:08] <ynick> do oyu think instaling ubuntu helps to run it fast?
[13:08] <escott> LPhas, you could create your own script in /etc/init.d to replace the gdm scripts and start your session
[13:08] <jayD1> sidewinder1: is there a simple way to do that? i typically get lost when looking for bugs at launchpad?
[13:09] <LPhas> escott, i don't want to use a daemon

[13:10] <flecha> I mean, where can I see all the icons that I can use
[13:10] <coz_> flecha,  on the system you mean?
[13:10] <flecha> yes

[13:15] <l33o> the really good thing, why i am allways comming back to ubuntu: its easy to use now a days
[13:16] <l33o> i can do it -  you can do it ;)
[13:16] <szal> jayD1: what gfx driver do you use?
[13:17] <Sidewinder1> jayD1, I'm sorry to say that I can't help you; I don't use Unity; I'm an LTS kinda' guy. :-)
[13:17] <JakeR003> is there a way to get an indication inthe panel on how much is the network speed?
[13:18] <JakeR003> download/upload speed
[13:18] <jayD1> szal: nvidia
[13:18] <jayD1> Sidewinder1: just started to like unity
[13:18] <szal> jayD1: which one exactly?
[13:18] <jayD1> really prefer it over gnome2
[13:18] <bazhang> JakeR003, not sure, you could do it with conky though
[13:18] <jayD1> szal: 270.41.06
[13:19] <jayD1> szal: the default installed for Lenovo W510 on 11.04 methinks
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: there's a conky review on omgubuntu with colours in conky
[13:19] <bazhang> ActionParsnip, JakeR003 is wanting to show network speed
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: ntop maybe?
[13:20] <Sidewinder1> jayD1, I tried installing 11.04/Unity to a USB in order to test/check-out on my "Sacrificial-Goat" system, unfortunately it's too old and won't boot to Unity, just Classic. :-(

[13:22] <UbuntoN0ob> gotcha
[13:22] <Sidewinder1> coz_, No, I do; just wasn't sure that they're available in 11.04.

[13:23] <JakeR003> sorry i'm busy toying with ubuntu
[13:23] <Sidewinder1> That?

[13:24] <Sidewinder1> JakeR003, I said that in 2007. :-)

[13:24] <zminer> Hi, I have a compiz/ubuntu question. Right now, I have compiz and emerald enabled, and configured the way I want. Unfortunately, when I restore a minimized window, oftentimes I just get a white window, and I have to redo it several times. My question is, is this an appropriate forum to seek help for this problem, or should I be contacting compiz in some way? I also get transparent windows sometimes, and when I resize, basically my bord
[13:24] <jayD1> szal: so that will automatically remove the packages ... and ensure that the old nvidia driver is used instead?
[13:24]  * Sidewinder1 Still learning.
[13:24] <szal> jayD1: yes
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> Sidewinder1: we're all stilllearning ;)
[13:25] <Sidewinder1> ;-)
[13:25] <coz_> zminer,   well there is a #compiz channel,, however  which video card are you using?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> zminer: i'd ask in #compiz     if you don't run emerald, is it ok (emerald is dead an no longer maintained by the way)
[13:26] <zminer> I have an Nvidia gtx 260m, using the latest proprietary driver. However, I have tried the older driver, and it doesn't fix the problem.
[13:26] <coz_> zminer,    and are you on 11.04 ?
[13:26] <zminer> As for Emerald, I have tried without it, and it still happens.  I just couldn't get into Unity for some reason.
[13:27] <jayD1> szal: ok; i will give it  a try. obviously I will not know if it helps before two or three days of not having crashes
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> RA_drc: ubuntu-desktop     why didn't you just install the desktop OS?
[13:27] <RA_drc> iceroot: what would be the difference between the two?
[13:27] <jayD1> thanks and bye; over and out.
[13:27] <RA_drc> ActionParsnip: that would be too big
[13:27] <coz_> zminer,  ok on 11.04   compiz is version 0.9.x  and emerald doesnt work with that unless you compiled the somewhat quirky emerald for 0.9.x
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> RA_drc: sudo apt-get install lxde lxdm    will give a super light desktop
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> RA_drc: did you install minimal / server ?
[13:28] <coz_> zminer,  you might want to test this by  calling up    gtk-window-decorator --replace & disown    from the terminal
[13:28] <RA_drc> ActionParsnip: i don't have apt-get installed
[13:28] <zminer> Yes, I went through the instructions and compiled Emerald for 64 bit compiz. Also, even when I disable emerald and use the default, I still get the problem.
[13:28] <szal> RA_drc: you gotta be kidding; apt-get is installed by default
[13:28] <coz_> zminer,   after running that command,, see if the windows still exhibit the same behavior
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> RA_drc: you must do even the minimal desktop installs that
[13:28] <coemd> the instalation with ubuntu server cd-rom is without graphical interface?
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> coemd: yes
[13:29] <coz_> coemd,  I believe so
[13:29] <zminer> coz - I tried this, and it still has the problem.
[13:29] <RA_drc> szal: it says "command not found" so.....i don't think it's there
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> coemd: makes it boot faster, use fewer resources and makes it more secure
[13:29] <coz_> zminer,   ok meet me in #compiz
[13:29] <RA_drc> ActionParsnip: it says command not found, so i don't think it's there
[13:29] <zminer> Will do, and thanks so far.
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> RA_drc: then it's not Ubuntu. Ubuntu will install apt-get and dpkg as default
[13:29] <IdleOne> RA_drc: what is the output of lsb_release -a ?
[13:29] <coemd> ActionParsnip: but it will be better to connect to it remotly via vnc for example!
[13:30] <RA_drc> ActionParsnip: how can i install apt-get and dpkg then?
[13:30] <iceroot> RA_drc: you cant install dpkg
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> coemd: it is better to connect via SSH to configure, it's secure. VNC is not secure
[13:30] <theadmin> RA_drc: We can't help if this isn't Ubuntu.
[13:30] <szal> RA_drc: follow IdleOne's request please
[13:30] <iceroot> RA_drc: if you dont have dpkg you have a problem or a non-debian system
[13:30] <coemd> ActionParsnip: ok all right thanks a lot
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> RA_drc: if you don't have dpkg installed you will need to compile it
[13:30] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Bad idea
[13:31] <iceroot> RA_drc: output of "cat /etc/issue"
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> RA_drc: I doubt you have Ubuntu installed at all, Check in /usr/bin   you should see both commands
[13:31] <usr13> RA_drc:  lsb_release -a
[13:31] <Pici> No need for everyone to jump on RA_drc...
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: gonna be tough though...how to install the compiler ;)
[13:32] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Don't base development tools come preinstalled?
[13:32] <RA_drc> iceroot: ActionParsnip usr13 right, i'll get on that shortly
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: not in ubuntu, no
[13:32] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Wow, messed up.
[13:32] <DarsVaeda1> in nautilus how do I enter a path?
[13:32] <ChessTeach> what is the easiest way to set up a way to send mail from the command prompt?
[13:32] <theadmin> DarsVaeda1: Ctrl+L
[13:32] <theadmin> ChessTeach: mutt
[13:32] <DarsVaeda1> that sucks really -.-
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> DarsVaeda1: you can click the pencil (I believe)
[13:33] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: That's gone in recent releases
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> DarsVaeda1: you can make that the default if you want
[13:33] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: You're on... Lemme guess... 10.04?
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: 11.10
[13:33] <iceroot> ChessTeach: echo "message" | mail -s "subject" mailaddress
[13:33] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Odd.
[13:33] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Recent nautilus releases don't have that pencil thing...
[13:33] <usr13> ChessTeach: man sendmail  #What exactly do you need to do?
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: using pcmanfm as file manager
[13:33] <DarsVaeda1> I'm on 11.04 and its now tabs thing, which is okay if I could click it and it would go to a path
[13:33] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Ah, cool :D
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: nautilus is too slow
[13:33] <ChessTeach> iceroot: i tried that but it told me something wasn't installed, so i tried mailutils, but it isn't sending at all
[13:33] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Totally agreed
[13:34] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: I use thunar myself
[13:34] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Or bash xD
[13:34] <IdleOne> 11.10 talk in #ubuntu+1 you two know better :)
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> IdleOne: just discussing the file managers, which are in both ;)
[13:34] <iceroot> ChessTeach: exact error message please
[13:34] <DarsVaeda1> thunar and pcmanfm, I will have a look into these two :)
[13:35] <theadmin> DarsVaeda1: They're great, yeah. pcmanfm is actually somewhat better
[13:35] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip: don't force me to lart you after 24 hours of being awake :)
[13:35] <theadmin> I just use thunar cause it comes with xfce
[13:35] <theadmin> Okay whatever, enough offtopic
[13:35] <IdleOne> thank you
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> IdleOne: hehe not today. Not at work :D
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> yeah enough OT
[13:35] <ubuntu> hey
[13:35] <RA_drc> iceroot: ActionParsnip usr13 hmmm, my boss told me it was ubuntu.  apparently it is something called "angstrom"
[13:35] <ChessTeach> iceroot: no error, just no mail sent
[13:35] <iceroot> ChessTeach: you said there was an error something is not installed
[13:36] <Ismail> I need some help
[13:36] <theadmin> Ismail: Yes?
[13:36] <bazhang> Ismail, with what
[13:36] <Ismail> i installed windows xp after ubuntu, and now only windows boots
[13:36] <szal> !grub | Ismail
[13:36] <ChessTeach> iceroot: oh, yeah it said mail not installed and suggested i install 'mailutils' or some other program i can't remember
[13:36] <dr_willis> !fixgrub | Ismail
[13:36] <theadmin> Ismail: Well yeah, Windows does that
[13:36] <theadmin> dr_willis: Is !restoregrub
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> RA_drc: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/
[13:37] <theadmin> dr_willis: I think
[13:37] <iceroot> ChessTeach: sudo apt-get install mailx
[13:37] <ChessTeach> iceroot: i installed mailutils and then tried to send something, but nothing was recieved at the other end
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> RA_drc: maybe they have a specific channel, it's not ubuntu in any case
[13:37] <usr13> Ismail: MS Windows automatically overwrites any bootloader you may have.  See:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[13:37] <LPhas> i really can't understand why ubuntu moved from inittab
[13:37] <usr13> !upstart | LPhas
[13:38] <LPhas> this is not an answer
[13:38] <DarsVaeda1> does pcmanfm replace nautilus after installation?
[13:38] <theadmin> DarsVaeda1: No
[13:38] <usr13> LPhas: ... and upstart causes your system to boot faster.
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> DarsVaeda1: no, its just a file manaer
[13:38] <DarsVaeda1> I see
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> DarsVaeda1: I believe nautilus will continue to draw to desktop too
[13:38] <DarsVaeda1> first use...find a bug
[13:38] <ChessTeach> iceroot: yeah i did that one too, now all i see is some file that contains the email i wanted to send in my home folder, nothing at the destination though
[13:39] <DarsVaeda1> I should be professional bug-tester or something
[13:39] <ChessTeach> iceroot: all i see after trying to send through mailx that is
[13:39] <DarsVaeda1> I always run into those things, if I'm not creating them myself :)
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> DarsVaeda1: we all are

[13:44] <dr_willis> davis,  i imagine a few gb.. perhaps 10 at a min.
[13:45] <bazhang> whoops sorry l33o
[13:45] <usr13> klawd: What is nforce630a ?
[13:45] <davis> dr_willis: thanks
[13:45] <bazhang> le3o, stay on topic please
[13:45] <le3o> ok
[13:46] <klawd> usr13: my main board chipset
[13:47] <Nitax> if I were to store a large directory with files to be accessed by multiple users…where exactly would I place such a thing on the linux filesystem?
[13:47] <usr13> klawd: You said the "led indicator on the back does not light up"  What is that?
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> klawd: check the cable is inserted properly, also try a different port on the device you are connecting to
[13:47] <dr_willis> Nitax,  could be anywhere. You just mount it someplace everyone knows about..
[13:47] <usr13> klawd: Is this a laptop?
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> usr13: Ethernet ports usually have LEDs round the port to show connection and activity
[13:48] <dr_willis> Nitax,  you could put it in /commonfiles/  if you wanted to.
[13:48] <jrib> bullgard4_: I don't know
[13:48] <Nitax> dr_willis: it just seems like some folders under root I definitely should not place them
[13:48] <klawd> no, it's a desktop workstation. ActionParsnip: it is connected correctly, it works perfect under windows
[13:48] <davis> dr_willis: i think 10g for the source build and 10g for a system setup.
[13:48] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Oh, yea, that must be it....
[13:48] <dr_willis> Nitax,  of course it wouldenbt make sence to put them in /etc/ or /usr/bin/stuff/
[13:48] <Nitax> ahhh, just create a new folder under root?  Definitely haven't had my coffee yet.
[13:49] <ChessTeach> iceroot: anything?
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> Nitax: I'd put it in /opt personally
[13:49] <dr_willis> Nitax,  or /home/commonstuff   if you want to keep it alongside your home dirs  if on a seperate partition.
[13:49] <usr13> klawd: Is it a wired connection?
[13:49] <klawd> yes
[13:49] <bullgard4_> jrib: Thank you very much for your help. I will further enquire in the German Ubuntuusers forum.
[13:49] <dr_willis> Nitax,  it all depends on how you want to do it.
[13:49] <usr13> klawd: ifconfig   #What does that say?
[13:49] <Nitax> alrighty.  Just didn't want a seasoned Linux user to log on and think I was a moron =)
[13:50] <Nitax> thanks
[13:50] <usr13> klawd: DOn't paste here, just look and see if you have acquired IP info.
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> Nitax: if /home is a separate and larger partition than / then dr_willis's suggestion sounds good
[13:50] <jrib> bullgard4_: if you read the /etc/grub.d scripts you could probably figure it out too (if you want)
[13:50] <klawd> it shows eth0 but pretty much unconfigured. i tested configs for DHCP and for static address, it didn't change anything. couldn't ping anyone on my subnet
[13:50] <Ismail> Hey
[13:50] <klawd> i don't know what the problem is, the drivers or my setup or something i just cant think of
[13:50] <usr13> klawd: You say that the LED does not light up,  are you sure the cable is plugged in good at both ends?
[13:51] <klawd> yes
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> klawd: then run:  sudo lshw -C network    use the product line to find guides
[13:51] <davis> maybe just eclipse, gcc compilers in case i want to do some c code, gdb, a light weight X setup. Not a full system.
[13:51] <klawd> it is. definetely. as i said: it works perfect under windows
[13:51] <klawd> ActionParsnip: ok, thanks
[13:51] <usr13> klawd: lspci   #See what it says about your ethernet device.
[13:51] <Ismail> i originally had ubuntu. installed windows xp at a second partition. Now only windows boots. Right now i am using ubuntu livecd. What is the procedure to restore grub?
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> Ismail: boot to ubuntu live CD and reinstate grub2
[13:52] <dr_willis> Ismail,  theres a ubuntu wiki page that details on how to reinstall grub.. but i think the bot is awol right now
[13:52] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[13:52] <dr_willis> there we go.. see above Ismail
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> Ismail: the windows installer has blindly overwritten the MBR
[13:52] <klawd> ActionParsnip: it says PCI(sysfs)
[13:52] <Ismail> dr_willis: i checked the first page. doesnt say much...
[13:52] <AdvoWork> hi there, I need a bit of advice really, running ubuntu on a client, user is english but speaks/types English, French, Spanish. Im trying to make it so he can change keyboard or something so he can type french/spanish as well as english, but i cant find a way, he needs to be able to use accents etc
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> klawd: give it time...
[13:52] <dr_willis> Ismail,  you basically reinstall grub to the mbr... thats the core of it.
[13:53] <jrib> AdvoWork: did you try my earlier suggestions?
[13:53] <dr_willis> $ grub-install /dev/XXX
[13:54] <dr_willis> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling GRUB2
[13:54] <AdvoWork> jrib, i didnt see it, sorry, would you mind repeating please?
[13:55] <dr_willis> Oh cool a 'new' way to repair grub --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[13:55] <klawd> ActionParsnip: there's nothing. i tried a all the available output methods and they all showed.. nothing.
[13:55] <ooxi> ho can i give dd an input file an tell it, if it reaches the end of the input file, to start over from the beginning?
[13:55] <ooxi> *how
[13:55] <jrib> AdvoWork: in system -> preferences -> keyboards options -> layout -> options  you can set a compose key and 3rd level chooser.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey .  Personally I find having my menu key act as the compose key effective for me though I do not type accents very often.  The way it works (more details in wiki) compose key + '  (release both keys), then press e, produces: é
[13:56] <dr_willis> ooxi,  given how basic of a tool dd is.. i doubt if dd can handle that by itself..  why are you even needing to do this?
[13:57] <fabs> hi
[13:57] <theadmin> ooxi: while true ; do dd if=... ; done ?
[13:57] <theadmin> ooxi: idk, could work :D
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> klawd: the device name should show. If you run:  sudo rfkill list    is the device blocked
[13:57] <ooxi> dr_willis, or some other tool. i want to write data to a disk which is not zero (because i think the ssd will recognize it and handle it different)
[13:57] <bullgard4_> jrib: This site: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/grub_2 is easier to digest for me.
[13:57] <ooxi> theadmin, don't, think so, will start over at the beginn of the output file, too
[13:57] <theadmin> ooxi: Oh yeah...
[13:57] <AdvoWork> jrib, that may work, do you know of a sort of cheat sheet for the certain accents/foreign letters, if you get me?
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> ooxi: then you can use /dev/random
[13:58] <belgianguy> is there a tool to find out what copy protection is present on a cd from within Ubuntu?
[13:58] <iridium> ooxi, maybe youre looking for /dev/urandom output
[13:58] <belgianguy> (within my legal rights)
[13:59] <iridium> it outputs random (not zero)
[13:59] <ooxi> ActionParsnip, i thought about using /dev/urandom but my cpu can only generate like 7MiB/sec which will take ages :-/
[13:59] <ooxi> something like /dev/one would be ideal ^^
[14:00] <jrib> bullgard4_: whatever works :)
[14:00] <jrib> AdvoWork: that wiki page seems to have one of sorts
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> ooxi: it'll work though, that's all I know. Let me search. I found a page yesterday
[14:00] <escott> ooxi, entropy is not cpu bound so much as interrupt bound. you can just mash on the keyboard and usually get the entropy moving again
[14:01] <z80return> hello
[14:01] <ooxi> ActionParsnip, what would be great :-)
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> ooxi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)   may give clues
[14:01] <ooxi> escott, afaik urandom (instead of random) is cpu bound
[14:01] <Sidewinder1> belgianguy, Perhaps this is what you're looking for? http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/CD-DVD-Images-Utils/ClonyXXL.shtml
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> ooxi: I'd go with random though, shouldn't take too long
[14:01] <escott> ooxi, another approach that works well is to take a file and encrypt it with gpg -c with a random work, cat it together and repeat
[14:02] <ooxi> escott, hm yes that would actually work
[14:02] <cdeszaq> From the command line, how can I determine what version of Ubuntu I'm running?
[14:02] <belgianguy> Sidewinder1, thanks, I'll go and try it out, it's something fairly advanced I guess, as imgburn couldn't handle it
[14:02] <Sidewinder1> belgianguy, Sorry, typed too fast; that's for win.
[14:02] <no-name-> how do i get my cpu temperature in ubuntu?
[14:02] <no-name-> i'm using 10.10
[14:02] <jrib> AdvoWork: I think french and spanish they are all pretty obvious: '`~^, .  The only ones that you need to look-up are «» and the upside down question mark.  At least that's all I remember :P

[14:03] <Redi> hi, is there a command for checking the openGL status? (on LTSP machine)
[14:03] <theadmin> Redi: "openGL status"?
[14:04] <Sidewinder1> belgianguy, This may be a better path to get you headed in the right direction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc_and_DVD_copy_protection
[14:04] <no-name-> i ran that sensors-detect thing but it said some of the things are sometimes unsafe :o
[14:04] <jrib> AdvoWork: I think that's what you want, but you may also try -es and -fr channels to see what solutions native speakers use
[14:05] <escott> no-name-, depends on how cautious you are. worst case is probably the box locks up and you reboot but skip that test
[14:05] <belgianguy> Sidewinder1, thanks, it'll sure come in handy, as I do believe it uses special tricks
[14:05] <Sidewinder1> :-)
[14:05] <Redi> need to know if the openGL is working on the terminal client (LTSP). I tried to run XBMC but it need openGL support. It worked before so I need to know what changed...
[14:06] <no-name-> escott: are you sure?
[14:06] <AdvoWork> jrib, ok, thanks for the help
[14:07] <neocicak> hi ... has anyone else had a problem while installing 11.04. ? the installer crashed right at the start, while trying to copy files.. i have tested my drive (running badblocks from command line, and there was no error reported)
[14:07] <jrib> neocicak: first step is to checksum the cd
[14:08] <escott> no-name-, its probing various low level registers on the system because there is no interface to these sensors. it could reformat your harddrive. it could fry your video card. it could cause your bios to send threatening emails to the president. it could trigger the launch of nuclear weapons. but it is more likely to lock up the box, and most likely to do nothing. with some research you can identify what kind of sensors you have without
[14:08] <escott> that tool if you want
[14:08] <neocicak> jrib: md5 checksum  is fine.... and i also did disc check.. no errors reported either
[14:09] <jrib> neocicak: try alt cd or check the bug tracker
[14:09] <jrib> !alternate | neocicak

[14:11] <iderik> Hello, I am trying to install Wine but it cancels because "libwbclient0_3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.3_amd64.deb" does not exist. I think it is because I am using an older version of ubuntu and I do not want to update because my internetconnection cant download the huge size of new ubuntu. What should I do? Why shouldnt I be able to use wine with an older version of ubuntu? :/ Please help!
[14:12] <dr_willis> iderik,  compile from source, find ppa/versions for your ubuntu version ...
[14:12] <coz_> iderik,    first  do   sudo apt-get update  && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade   then   sudo apt-get install wine
[14:12] <`marianne`> i have a question... why does ubuntu still use swap partitions, rather than swap files?
[14:12] <dr_willis> iderik,  how old is old? what is your version?
[14:12] <iderik> coz_: doesnt that make me update ubuntu?
[14:12] <klawd> could someone with a 64bit system do me a favour and convert me an rpm to a deb pls?
[14:12] <coz_> iderik,   no  it wont  honest :O
[14:12] <coz_> :)
[14:13] <dr_willis> iderik,  you want to be up to date.. but not 'upgrading to the next release'
[14:13] <iderik> dr_willis: 10.10 maverick
[14:13] <BluesKaj> het folks
[14:13] <szal> iderik: as long as you don't change package sources, no
[14:13] <escott> `marianne`, you can configure how you want, but i believe that a swap partition is needed for hibernation (not 100% sure of that though)
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> klawd: if you want, sure
[14:13] <klawd> http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.21/NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.21.zip this one
[14:13] <BluesKaj> err hey
[14:13] <dr_willis> escott,  aparently it can work with a swap file... but  ive never seen it done.
[14:13] <`marianne`> escott, ah... and yeah, i know i can set it up manually :) i just find it mildly irritating that the installer has no option for it, then complains at me when i don't set up a swap partition hehe
[14:13] <klawd> ActionParsnip: SuSE10/rpm/nvlan-suse10-0.60-1.21.x86_64.rpm
[14:14] <jrib> `marianne`: maybe file a bug requesting the feature and include patch if you really want it :P

[14:14] <iderik> coz_: dr_willis: I think it works now, because it started to download :) Actually I skipped the "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", it did sound to my ears that it upgrades my dist, doesn it? :OOO
[14:15] <`marianne`> jrib, my coding skills aren't good enough to include a patch, but maybe requesting it as a feature would be a good idea... though i don't think i'd be the first to
[14:15] <jrib> `marianne`: doesn't hurt to check (bugs.ubuntu.com)
[14:15] <coz_> iderik,  the dist-upgrade would only update package versions and libraries , it wont go to the next ubuntu version

[14:36] <zkam> Hey all...  How much space do I need for the casper-rw to do persistent Ubuntu from USB?
[14:37] <dr_willis> Goliath:  edit the /etc/default/grub and change the res or mode the menu uses
[14:37] <h00k> zkam: you don't need a persistence file at all, if you don't want. as big as you'd like, I'm pretty sure.
[14:37] <Phylock> Simancas - which wifi devices?
[14:37] <escott> Simancas, /lib/modules but thats not the way people usually go about doing things
[14:37] <zkam> h00k, I want to do liveCD booting from USB, and make it persistent
[14:38] <Goliath> Hey i want to change the video resolution and frequency of grub2 bootscreen. how do i do that?
[14:38] <escott> zkam, depends on how much data/software you want to have/install
[14:38] <zkam> ideally, I want to be able to boot from USB drive, and also have extra space on that drive for Windows files

[14:38] <h00k> zkam: You can use the Startup Disk Creator in Ubuntu and adjust that way, or that file can be as big as the amount of space you'd like.
[14:38] <zkam> escott, not too much.  Probably Chrome, xchat, and some addons
[14:38] <Simancas> escott i only want cipy those drivers of ubuntu
[14:38] <Simancas> for the wifi
[14:39] <escott> Simancas, not likely to work. they are compiled for specific kernels
[14:39] <h00k> Simancas: they're 'built in' to the kernel, usually.

[14:46] <Guest65422> Now i have a question , can i ask it now ??
[14:46] <ikonia> Guest65422: just ask
[14:47] <escott> Simancas, as already indicated they are compiled for a specific kernel version. this is not likely to work
[14:47] <mikunos> Hi guys I have to install the headers. Is this command correct? sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) because I get the message Package not found
[14:47] <escott> !mint | Simancas and besides we don't support mint

[14:48] <Guest65422> i have ubuntu 10.10 installed !! and want to upgrade to 11.04 , i want to ask that will the update uninstall gnome ?
[14:48] <ikonia> Guest65422: it will update gnome and change the default shell to unity
[14:48] <redi4> I need to enable "LDM_DIRECTX" to "yes". Is there any "howto" for it? Because I cant google any :/ And the ltsp IRC is silent :/
[14:48] <Simancas> ubottu  linuxmint debian is a pure linux  , ubuntu isnt a pure linux
[14:48] <mikunos> escott: there si NO 2.6.35-28-generic!!! :o

[14:49] <Dunhamzzz> I'm half way through upgrading my server from 10.04 , it asked if I wash to update /etc/securetty , should I do this ?
[14:49] <Guest65422> So i will have both unity and gnome as it is !! right ?
[14:49] <ikonia> Simancas: that's nothing to do with this channel
[14:49] <ikonia> Guest65422: no, you will have unity (that runs on gnome)
[14:49] <mikunos> any idea?

[14:50] <Dunhamzzz> I'm half way through upgrading my ubuntu server from 10.04 to 10.10, it asked if I wanted to update /etc/securetty , should I do this ?
[14:50] <ikonia> Guest65422: if they are not compatible with unity, yes
[14:50] <ikonia> Dunhamzzz: yes
[14:50] <Simancas> ikonia is the best dictator of the world
[14:50] <rabbi1> Dunhamzzz: you really need to upgrade ?
[14:51] <Dunhamzzz> rabbi: not really, I'm pretty OCD about having the latest version of everything tho
[14:51] <ikonia> Dunhamzzz: that is a bad position to be in, it will cause you more problems
[14:51] <Guest65422> Can i run compiz with unity ?? what exactly unity is ??
[14:51] <Dunhamzzz> well ideally I want mysql 5.5
[14:52] <ikonia> Guest65422: I suggest you do some research on what unity actually is
[14:52] <mikunos> escott, any suggestion?
[14:52] <ikonia> Dunhamzzz: what's in 5.5 that you want
[14:52] <ikonia> Dunhamzzz: why >?
[14:52] <ikonia> !info mysql-server
[14:52] <escott> Guest65422, see the release notes, but unity does use compiz but not all compiz plugins work well with unity
[14:52] <Senix> Is Gnome3 offered in the Ubuntu repos?
[14:52] <ikonia> Dunhamzzz: 5.1 is in 11.04 so you're not going to get 5.5
[14:52] <escott> mikunos, i thought you just said that kernel version didn't exist?
[14:52] <Dunhamzzz> performance + innodb features
[14:52] <mikunos> escott yes
[14:52] <ryang> Could someone please help me with downgrading Ubuntu 11.04 to 10.04?
[14:52] <ikonia> Dunhamzzz: `which innodb features ?
[14:53] <escott> mikunos, just dpkg -l "*linux*" and you will see what versions are available
[14:53] <rabbi1> Dunhamzzz: i always prefere 0.4 and always LTS.....
[14:53] <ikonia> ryang: can't do it, clean install
[14:53] <escott> !downgrade | ryang
[14:53] <escott> !gnome3 | Senix
[14:53] <Guest65422> ok thank you vary much !! I think this is a better way to solve small problems than forums !
[14:53] <Senix> escii⚡ thanks
[14:53] <mikunos> escott: I don't understand how is it possible run a kernel and don't find any headers of that particular kernel
[14:54] <Senix> escott⚡ thanks
[14:54] <Senix> escii⚡ sorry, tab fail.
[14:54] <Dunhamzzz> ikonia I dunno I'm just experimenting, think babies first server
[14:54] <ikonia> mikunos: you don't need headers to run a compiled kernel
[14:54] <rabbi1> Dunhamzzz: my suggestion, do not screw up until April 2012 ....
[14:54] <ikonia> Dunhamzzz: then you shouldn't be using experimental software, sticking with LTS supported stable versions is the best option
[14:54] <Dunhamzzz> LTS?
[14:54] <mikunos> ikonia: yes I know but the Virtual Box needs the headers!
[14:54] <b4loobra> hey
[14:54] <escott> mikunos, not everyone needs the headers, they get pulled in by some packages and drivers, but not everyone has them
[14:54] <Dunhamzzz> !LTS
[14:55] <ikonia> mikunos: because it needs to build a module
[14:55] <Dunhamzzz> I see
[14:55] <Pici> Dunhamzzz: While mysql supports 5.5, 5.1 is the lastest version that I see in both Ubuntu and Debian.
[14:55] <mikunos> so how have I to do ?
[14:55] <emph> Ok so when I use nomodeset I start by seeing the loading which when done just turns into a black screen.
[14:55] <emph> Any clues?
[14:55] <Pici> Dunhamzzz: You should be just fine using 5.1
[14:55] <escott> mikunos, are the guest additions not dpkg'ed for you
[14:56] <mikunos> escott, I have found this with your dpkg ii  linux-image-2.6.35 2.6.35-28.50       Linux kernel image for version 2.6.35 on x86/x86_64
[14:56] <mikunos> now what have I to do?
[14:57] <Dunhamzzz> I know, curiosity and all that though, nothing even remotely important on this server
[14:57] <escott> mikunos, the version strings always match to the headers try dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.35 and see what that does

[15:27] <escott> ionite, assuming you run unity hit the windows key and then type "display" an option for display settings should come up. that will allow you to  setup the other display

[15:32] <mang0> the-penguin: Just tried sudo apt-get libsmpg but it's not working...
[15:32] <the-penguin> mang0: go to the terminal and use <apt-cache search libsmpg> and see what comes up
[15:32] <mordof> is there a program for ubuntu that i can install that will allow certain styles of links in a webpage to launch an application on my computer?
[15:32] <mang0> okay
[15:32] <mordof> (ignore all implications of security risks, etc from my statement, lol.. it's local only)
[15:33] <Obfuscation> I don't think that HDMI is able to move sound from one platform to another like the PS3 and Xbox360. Never worked for me anyways
[15:33] <escott> ChristopherNG, have you gone to sound preferences and changed the output device to be the video card
[15:33] <the-penguin> CLN84: yes, usually and update/upgrade installs most of the hardware drivers etc. so that might fix it
[15:33] <mang0> the-penguin: Nothing happened.....
[15:33] <the-penguin> CLN84: run <sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade>

[15:37] <mordof> apanda_: hm... troublesome. i'd more easily run shell_exec in PHP from an ajax call
[15:38] <escott> frog, if you could get the relevant x session variables/temp files/and connection keys you may be able to start the app from outside the session but have it attach to th running x server. its a fair bit of work though
[15:39] <mordof> apanda_: at the very least you've given me something to google to get somewhere :) thanks

[15:42] <philinux> itilious: open a terminal and try killall gnome-panel
[15:42] <Hanacuk> Ïðèâåò âñåì
[15:42] <the-penguin> CLN84: run this <sudo modprobe pmu_battery> and tell me if there's an output
[15:42] <itilious> philinux, tried, didnt work
[15:43] <iderik> If I do "cat * || grep "handshake". How can I see which line is coming from what file? Thanks
[15:43] <mang0> the-penguin: How do I install a libary from terminal? <sudo apt-get libsmpeg0>?
[15:43] <CLN84> the-penguin, FATAL: Module pmu_battery not found.
[15:43] <mordof> apanda_: ah! it appears it's actually fairly simple :) though i have to make a quick script that will launch stuff for me based on the link passed
[15:43] <the-penguin> itilious: use sudo
[15:43] <itilious> the-penguin, i did
[15:43] <apanda_> mordof yep that was what i was thinking about too
[15:43] <itilious> stil nothing
[15:43] <the-penguin> mang0: yes, but leave out the < and the >
[15:43] <the-penguin> CLN84: there you go... that's your problem :)
[15:44] <itilious> also, when ubuntu starts randomly I will not have windows controls and must type "compiz --replace" to get them back, maybe issue is related?
[15:44] <escott> frog, see http://giantdorks.org/alain/attach-to-an-existing-gdm-session-with-vnc-over-ssh/
[15:44] <mang0> the-penguin: Ofc I'll leave out the < and >, I'm not quite that big a noob, I can use terminal ;)
[15:44] <mordof> apanda_: a simple bash script that would execute the string blindly as provided would be sufficient, would it not?
[15:44] <mordof> apanda_: it's purely for my own personal use
[15:44] <the-penguin> mang0: haha, just checking, sorry XD
[15:44] <mang0> :P
[15:45] <mordof> apanda_: since i wouldn't be forcing different permissions, but just using my regular user permissions for stuff it shouldn't technically be a security risk at all
[15:45] <apanda_> mordof if you want to go with that, yes. i only see problems passing urlencoded parameters
[15:45] <mang0> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[15:45] <mordof> apanda_: ah, then a quick string parse to change them to command line args would be sufficient
[15:45] <the-penguin> mang0: well... is another process using it?
[15:46] <mordof> apanda_: you raise a good point there
[15:46] <iderik> If I do "cat * || grep "handshake". How can I see which line is coming from what file? Thanks
[15:46] <CLN84> the-penguin, how do I resolve this issue if I cannot use modprobe
[15:46] <jrib> iderik: the answer to your question is: you can't.  You should do it differently: grep handshake *
[15:46] <rumpe1> iderik, try "grep -r handshake ."
[15:46] <mang0> the-penguin: If I don't have it how can another process be using it?
[15:47] <mordof> apanda_: only problem is i'm -very- rusty with my bash scripting :\ not sure where to start, lol
[15:47] <dgags> rumpe1: have you looked at the man page for grep to see if it has a command line switch to do that? 'man grep'
[15:47] <the-penguin> mang0: no, no, that means that another process is using apt-get... apt-get can only do one task at a time
[15:47] <shafee> Anybody know how to adjust launcher icon size in unity 2D ?
[15:47] <Triscar0> how do i search to find a folder?
[15:47] <the-penguin> CLN84: looking into it now
[15:47] <dgags> crap, sorry I meant to adress that to iderik
[15:48] <mang0> the-penguin: synaptic package manager was open, I'm trying again
[15:48] <CLN84> the-penguin, thank you, me too. all I see so far is what you told me in other forums.
[15:48] <synackfin> what's a good text-based (not X11) csv-editor ?
[15:48] <the-penguin> mang0: yea, that would have probably been it
[15:48] <the-penguin> CLN84: yea, it seems to be a kernel bug
[15:48] <dhruvasagar> Hi, I did a fresh install of 11.04, I notice that videos (on vlc) often gets stuck on frames, the audio moves smoothly, just the video jitters often
[15:48] <auronandace> synackfin: nano
[15:48] <rumpe1> synackfin, vim
[15:49] <shafee> Triscar0: locate <file name>
[15:49] <kush> es
[15:49] <mordof> dhruvasagar: have you tried other video players?
[15:49] <phillyj> guys, i'm trying to install the wifi driver with NDISwrapper but I get an error when trying to extract the driver exe file
[15:49] <CLN84> the-penguin, re-install then?
[15:49] <Triscar0> thnx shafee
[15:49] <intrader> Anyone, trying to understand reinstalled 10.10. During installation, partitioning it found an NTFS partition, and a 31GB linux; I ended up with a smaller  NTFS, the old 31GB linux and the rest a newly installed linux. The old linux shows in Places as 31GB an is viewable. I want to recover the configuration of the Chrome browser. How do I do that?
[15:49] <dhruvasagar> mordof: no...
[15:49] <shafee> np
[15:49] <mordof> dhruvasagar: give them a try
[15:50] <mordof> dhruvasagar: some players respond differently for different filetypes
[15:50] <mordof> sometimes
[15:50] <dhruvasagar> mordof: hmmm but can't I fix vlc ?
[15:50] <mordof> dhruvasagar: maybe, maybe not.. i don't know what the problem is
[15:50] <the-penguin> CLN84: it might actually be the easiest way, if you have the time then you should totally do it
[15:50] <Goliath> hey
[15:50] <Goliath> how can i find what wifi apapter i have? what is the command?
[15:50] <dhruvasagar> mordof: totem seems to be doing better
[15:50] <usr13> Goliath: lspci
[15:50] <CLN84> the-penguin lol 10 minutes compared to learning how to recompile the kernel, and install it without causing panic... :-)
[15:50] <phillyj> dhruvasagar: could it be hardware problem?
[15:50] <Triscar0> i installed john the ripper thru apt-get and i cant find the instalation folder, trying to crack my lock code on my N900
[15:50] <synackfin> auronandance/rumpe1: those don't help with 104 column csvs
[15:51] <dhruvasagar> phillyj: how so ?
[15:51] <dhruvasagar> mordof: totem isn't doing fine
[15:51] <usr13> Goliath: lspci  #and look for a line that says Wireless or something to that effect.
[15:51] <dhruvasagar> phillyj: this is a new laptop...
[15:51] <rumpe1> synackfin, depends, what you try to accomplish. vim has perl and python integrated, so it's pretty flexible
[15:51] <mordof> dhruvasagar: mplayer has always worked for me
[15:51] <the-penguin> usr13: just use grep o.O
[15:51] <mordof> dhruvasagar: i use that for most files, simply because totem won't work for some
[15:51] <mordof> dhruvasagar: and i plain don't like vlc
[15:52] <the-penguin> CLN84: okay, that would work. I can give you my email so you can let me know how it works out?
[15:52] <sadmicrowave> hey guys, is there a place I can download the raw Bisigi desktop themes without adding a repository and requesting a key through my terminal? (my corporate firewall has blocked most all key requests)
[15:52] <dhruvasagar> mordof: why? i've been using vlc for a very long long time
[15:52] <sumd> so nobody who knows how to stop apt from fetching stuff not in sources.list??
[15:52] <dhruvasagar> mordof: installing mplayer, haven't used it so much
[15:52] <usr13> the-penguin: Not sure what that would do...
[15:52] <jrib> synackfin: I've used a curses spreadsheet program in the past but I neither recall whether it could edit csv files nor its name
[15:52] <CLN84> the-penguin, sry i answered your MSG, but it said you were away, yes i can do that.
[15:52] <mordof> dhruvasagar: on windows i always used media player classic. i guess just because vlc has never worked as well, i don't consider it to be that great
[15:52] <Goliath> tu
[15:53] <philinux> itilious: You could try turning compiz off and if that doesn't work then this will reset the panels back to their default. You loose any custom launchers etc. gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
[15:53] <Goliath> ty
[15:53] <rumpe1> sumd, theres sources.list and there are the sources.list.d-sources...
[15:53] <dhruvasagar> mordof: vlc has actually always worked well for me
[15:53] <the-penguin> usr13: lspci | grep wireless just takes the output from lspci and looks for the word wireless
[15:53] <Triscar0> i installed john the ripper thru apt-get and i cant find the instalation folder, trying to crack my lock code on my N900, anybody know where to find it ?
[15:53] <dhruvasagar> mordof: although the new system i've bought has been giving me some troubles with respect to the graphics card drivers (nvidia), so somehow I feel that is responsible
[15:54] <babilen> the-penguin: You typically want "lspci -nn|grep -i network"
[15:54] <CLN84> how do i uninstall with apt-get?
[15:54] <Gateway`> Hello everybody, how can I make a route for openvpn on my firewall server (iptables) for <IP_ADDRESS>/32
[15:54] <Gateway`> thanks
[15:54] <mang0> the-penguin: Awesome! Thanks :D
[15:54] <Pici> Triscar0: dpkg -L john
[15:54] <babilen> CLN84: apt-get remove or apt-get purge, read "man apt-get"
[15:54] <the-penguin> CLN84: right, i'm still away lol
[15:54] <CLN84> the-penguin, okay :-)
[15:54] <jrib> synackfin: I was thinking of "sc", but don't know about the abliity to edit csv files
[15:54] <the-penguin> CLN84: sudo apt-get remove _package_
[15:54] <mordof> dhruvasagar: hm. can't help with much of the technical problems. with stuff like this if i find an alternative is working fine, i simply use that
[15:54] <the-penguin> CLN84: actually use <sudo apt-get purge "package">
[15:55] <the-penguin> babilen: yes, your right, i was just giving an example :)
[15:55] <dhruvasagar> mordof: trying that myself
[15:55] <CLN84> ty
[15:56] <the-penguin> mang0: it worked?
[15:56] <usr13> the-penguin: lspci | grep ireless
[15:56] <mang0> the-penguin: Yup :)
[15:56] <the-penguin> mang0: great that's what i like to hear, does the game work now?
[15:57] <usr13> the-penguin: But even that will miss some of them.
[15:57] <the-penguin> usr13: <lspci -nn|grep -i network> works better :)
[15:57] <phillyj> what does it mean when "unzip" says "xxxx.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive"
[15:58] <szal> phillyj: it means what it says
[15:58] <dhruvasagar> phillyj: it means you should be using wine instead
[15:58] <Trashi> hi guys. my ubuntu doesnt like my microphon (internal and external). i added a specific line to the alsa-base.conf following a alsa-configuration-tutorial. could someone help me to configure my sound device thus i can use my mic?
[15:58] <Dulak> phillyj: it doesn't think the .exe file you fed it is a self-extracting archive, it thinks it's just a plain executable file.
[15:59] <the-penguin> Trashi: I just had this game yesterday, try using alsamixer. turning the boosts down and the inputs up
[15:59] <the-penguin> Trashi: that's on terminal btw
[15:59] <genii-around> phillyj: It may be a self-extracting file
[15:59] <jrib> synackfin: maybe try http://code.google.com/p/csvfix/ though it's not packaged in ubuntu's repositories
[15:59] <Trashi> the-penguin: jep i know it ... will try .. thx
[15:59] <frog> escott: yaaay thank you so much for the link, you really made my day and saved me from the great firewall !! if you come to china in the next 4 weeks, i owe you a beer :D
[15:59] <phillyj> Dulak: hmm, its the driver file for my wi-fi but if i can't extract it, how do i use NDISwrapper?
[16:00] <sumd> rumpe1 thanks, that's what I was searching for :)
[16:00] <escott> frog, booking my flight now ;)
[16:00] <mang0> the-penguin: Yeah game works :D Thanks man
[16:00] <the-penguin> phillyj: use ndisgtk
[16:00] <the-penguin> mang0: no problem, glad i could help
[16:00] <Dulak> phillyj: use wine to run the .exe file and hope it will extract
[16:02] <the-penguin> phillyj: use wine to "install" then just look for the .inf file in the wine directorys and then install the wireless using that .inf file
[16:02] <Pat201> anyone here have experience with bleachbit?
[16:02] <the-penguin> Pat201: a bit, whats wrong?
[16:03] <Pat201> when its cleaning my system, im getting tons of error number 13 messages, basically the program is denied permission to clean certain areas of the computer
[16:04] <intrader> Anyone, trying to understand reinstalled 10.10. During installation, partitioning found an NTFS partition, and a 31GB linux; I ended up with a smaller  NTFS, the old 31GB linux and the rest a newly installed linux. The old linux shows in Places as 31GB an is viewable. I want to recover the configuration of the Chrome browser. How do I do that?
[16:04] <edbian> Pat201: It's unnecessary to run something like bleachbit on linux.  If you sudo bleachbit thought it wont' get stuck (but might do major damage)
[16:05] <thorn> ##monolith
[16:06] <usr13> Pat201: Probably best to do stuff like that on your own.  Apps like that that try to guess what needs to be done, may guess wrong, <IMHO>
[16:07] <JimmyNeutron> Is there a way to send/receive files from Empathy and Windows Live Messenger?
[16:07] <JimmyNeutron> I can't receive any file.
[16:07] <usr13> JimmyNeutron: I just use email.
[16:08] <phillyj> the-penguin: well, i use wine and got a bunch of .bin, .ini., setup.exe files but no .inf file
[16:09] <ir-decoy> 二
[16:09] <JimmyNeutron> usr13, I guess that means no.  Thanks!
[16:10] <grillermo> is there a way to grep the list thats comes out when you hit tab two times on bash, i'm looking for a particular command
[16:10] <usr13> NO, just means that email is a truly awesome social networking tool.
[16:10] <usr13> (Only one you need)
[16:10] <edbian> grillermo: ls /usr/bin/ | grep 'something'
[16:10] <edbian> grillermo: That's not all executables but it's most of them
[16:11] <jrib> grillermo: on zsh I can do something like *foo*<tab><tab>, not sure if that works in bash
[16:11] <BluesKaj>  social networking tool ...I have one too , it's called my voice :) ...email is just mail
[16:12] <grillermo> oh
[16:12] <grillermo> thanks guys
[16:12] <the-penguin> jrib: yep, should work in bash, i use it all the time
[16:12] <escott> grillermo, or echo $PATH | sed -e "s/:/ /g" | xargs ls | grep gnome
[16:12] <JimmyNeutron> usr13, Email is great but overkill when u just want to send random pix every now and then
[16:12] <UpAllNightBrain> Getting this error in Transmission, installed transmission via Ubuntu.  Default settings.  Can't figure out whats wrong. Error: No such file or directory (/var/lib/transmission-daemon/downloads/*
[16:12] <JimmyNeutron> and more hassle through web email
[16:13] <the-penguin> phillyj: run the setup.exe in wine too, then look for .inf again
[16:13] <Lasers> UpAllNightBrain: The directory /var/lib/transmission-daemon/downloads/ does not exist?
[16:13] <grillermo> thanks escott jrib edbian
[16:13] <edbian> grillermo: sure
[16:13] <usr13> JimmyNeutron: Was just my opinion.  in other words, email works for me, it's [just] what I use.
[16:13] <UpAllNightBrain> It does actually, I checked with the file manager.
[16:14] <Lasers> UpAllNightBrain: Try #transmission-bt
[16:14] <phillyj> the-penguin: no good, it crashes
[16:14] <UpAllNightBrain> Lasers, Ok thanks.
[16:14] <Lasers> UpAllNightBrain: #transmission <-- :)
[16:14] <UpAllNightBrain> Lasers, Oh.
[16:14] <the-penguin> phillyj: dang... what kind of wifi card/chip/thingy do you have?
[16:16] <phillyj> the-penguin: ralink rt5390
[16:18] <phillyj> the-penguin: hmm, i found some things in google
[16:18] <the-penguin> okay, if you find a .inf file.. just try it ... there's no harm in it lo
[16:19] <ItBlends> what the heck is this about? WARNING **: Unable to create Ubuntu Menu Proxy: Error connecting: Connection refused
[16:21] <odie5533> is there a way to get the current time from the console?
[16:21] <th0r> odie5533: date?
[16:24] <odie5533> th0r: thanks
[16:25] <apanda_> whats the best way to make the file "/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/sony/brightness" permanently writeably by anyone? it seems to be recreated at reboots or something
[16:26] <drvladimirtzu> For some reason, no matter how many times I change chrominium to my default browser from within chrominium, the changes won't stick.
[16:27] <|Slacker|> drvladimirtzu: have you tried to change it from ubuntu settings?
[16:28] <drvladimirtzu> Nope.  It did occur to me, but I was more curious as to why it wouldn't work from within chrome then worried about actually doing it. haha
[16:28] <spencer> I 'm in the processes of picking DB for the Web and was going to go with MySQL. However, the future doesn't look to bright for MySQL. Any suggestions for DB?
[16:29] <jrib> spencer: pgsql probably
[16:29] <emmkai> hey guys
[16:29] <joaolucas> Hello
[16:29] <spencer> jrib, pgsql is more than I need.
[16:30] <emmkai> i need help using remote desktop in ubuntu 11.04
[16:30] <mordof> apanda_: there :D made it so that it recieves the string in (mostly) normal URL form. it replaces all & with a space, so simply anything between those gets output. it doesn't do anything in terms of adding characters to make them command line args, simply because then i can do stuff like app?-user&mordof  and have it execute `app -user mordof`  ^-^
[16:30] <drvladimirtzu> Actually, oddly enough, from within the Ubuntu preferences, it shows chrominium as the default browser.  But if I click a link from an im window or something, and chrome isn't open, it won't open it.  And every time I start chrome, it tells me its not the default browser and prompts me to make it such.
[16:30] <Reaper> what is the terminal command to search for packages. like xchat?
[16:30] <joaolucas> How're you doing?
[16:30] <mordof> apanda_: now just to register the protocol and hope that it works in prism, lol
[16:30] <jrib> spencer: it's pretty comparable to mysql.  Were you thinking of something like sqlite?
[16:30] <Pici> Reaper: apt-cache search
[16:30] <Reaper> thaxn
[16:30] <Reaper> er thanx
[16:30] <joaolucas> There's someone from brazil?
[16:31] <xangua> !pt | joaolucas
[16:31] <|Slacker|> me
[16:31] <emmkai> can anyone help me with remote desktop under ubuntu 11.04 ?
[16:31] <seanmc98> thanks for all you rhelp guys I got GRUB re-installed
[16:31] <joaolucas> !pt
[16:31] <spencer> jrib, yes, but from what read it does well if you do reads only
[16:32] <dr_willis> emmkai,  clarify to the channel what you are doing and what you need help with exactly.
[16:34] <jrib> spencer: those are the only ones I've played with
[16:35] <emmkai> ok, i have a remote computer, that is VPN connected to my local network, i can ping it actually. I've asked a person at the site to enable the remote desktop feature, but when i try to connect i get a dialog that says: Connection to host XX.XX.XX.XXX was closed.
[16:35] <spencer> jrib, what did you think of SQLite?
[16:37] <jrib> spencer: worked ok for what I did.  It has the advantage of not requiring an external server like mysql or pgsql
[16:37] <jrib> spencer: maybe try their channel to see if your use-case is appropriate
[16:37] <zlude> hello! how can i set password on su? example "su <user> -pPASSWORD
[16:37] <spencer> jrib, what one do you use now?
[16:38] <jrib> spencer: none :D
[16:38] <Crazy> did anyonr
[16:38] <zlude> any ideas?
[16:38] <rumpe1> zlude, do you want to activate the "root"-account?
[16:39] <dr_willis> I thought you supplied the users password when you su'd to that user? unless you were root..
[16:39] <dr_willis> been a whild since i last needed su.
[16:40] <dr_willis> zlude,  you mean you need to script the automation of su -, so it dosent ask for the password. but takes it from the command line?
[16:41] <emmkai> i really need some help because i am lost
[16:42] <Monster123> Ok I'm having trouble installing ubuntu
[16:42] <Monster123> I have used 3 disks
[16:42] <dr_willis> emmkai,  i know very little about vpn's so cant really help much.  What os and remote desktop are you using on the vpn?
[16:42] <Monster123> and tried a flash drive
[16:42] <Monster123> none have got past the first boot screen
[16:42] <emmkai> both remote and local machine is 11.04 ubuntu
[16:42] <Monster123> Now, this is a new computer
[16:43] <Monster123> 64bit
[16:43] <dr_willis> Monster123,  #1 - whats your video card/chipset.
[16:43] <Monster123> intel HD graphics
[16:44] <dr_willis> so its a 'brand new' just released laptop? just came out recently.  or has the make/model been out for a while?
[16:44] <endip> Is there a quick/easy way to disable the synaptic touchpad (that doesn't require a restart)? Something like synclient touchpadoff=1 ??
[16:44] <escott> !enter | Monster123
[16:44] <Monster123> the model is a 2010, just brought
[16:45] <Monster123> The thing is, I don't want to used wubi, I really want ubuntu on another partition
[16:45] <escott> endip, xinput can disable entire input devices
[16:46] <Monster123> It's 64bit, so i'm guessiot ng 32bit iso would not work, correct?
[16:46] <dr_willis> Monster123,  32bit os works fine on a 64bit cpu.
[16:47] <endip> escott not familiar with xinput
[16:47] <dr_willis> well for most all the 64bit cpus out..
[16:47] <Monster123> Right, I see
[16:47] <nipul> sudo apt-get install telepathy-sofiasip telepathy-butterfly telepathy-idle libtelepathy-farsight0 python-tpfarsigh
[16:47] <mocca_cappucino> #linuxjambi
[16:47] <andyfied> hey everybody
[16:47] <dr_willis> Monster123,  You did check the md5sum of the ISO you downloaded?  (starting with the most common problems)
[16:47] <skegeek> Anyone use EHCP with externally hosted email??
[16:48] <Monster123> No, in fact, I don't even know what that is
[16:48] <Monster123> I thought the problem lies with the media
[16:48] <Monster123> i.e disk and pen drive
[16:48] <skegeek> Easy Hosting Control Panel
[16:48] <dr_willis> !md5sum
[16:48] <escott> endip, i don't know what the command would be, i just know it can be done. you will have to rtfm sorry
[16:48] <dr_willis> Monster123,  #1 step would be to verify the iso you downloade is correct.    then verify the cd's you burnt match the same md5sum.
[16:49] <endip> escott, No problem, I'm rtfm right now ;-)
[16:49] <skegeek> Also, I checked that Unity is installed, however it the only option I have is Gnome. How do I actually select to use Unity?
[16:49] <Monster123> right ok thank you, I'm on it :0
[16:49] <Monster123> :)*
[16:49] <endip> escott, do you happen to know if you can make changes on the fly without restarting?
[16:50] <Monster123> I've already used all my disks D:
[16:50] <Monster123> hope the flash drive works
[16:50] <andyfied> skegeek: system settings log in screen

[16:51] <andyfied> skegeek: change the default session to user defined and then you can pick at log in
[16:51] <mordof> it would appear registring protocol handlers for firefox/prism is more tedious than i thought. anyone know how i'd go about getting a custom protocol handler for prism set up?
[16:51] <mordof> the about:config doesn't seem to stick

[16:52] <spasysheep> how would I remove any line that started with a certain string from a text file?

[16:52] <Monster123> thanks hook :0
[16:52] <ivanuuuko59> cipote
[16:52] <ivanuuuko59> sĺgfga
[16:52] <cheetos> brrrr yea
[16:53] <Monster123> ok i'm going use a pen drive to install ubuntu
[16:53] <ivanuuuko59> bloomfentein
[16:53] <Monster123> is it safe?
[16:53] <dr_willis> spasysheep,  sed, or awk are designed for such tasks.
[16:53] <cheetos> es muy chido
[16:53] <Monster123> I mean, I need to devide my HHD into two partitions
[16:53] <ivanuuuko59> no sera muy padre
[16:53] <Monster123> Hope it doesn't mess up windows
[16:53] <cheetos> no muy chebere
[16:53] <dr_willis> Monster123,  when in doubt.. make backups of course..
[16:53] <andyfied> Monster123: should be safe if it works

[16:54] <emmkai> guys, i really am desperate
[16:54] <dr_willis> Monster123,  if its that critical. you could just try virtualbox and run ubuntu in it.
[16:54] <cheetos> nooooooo
[16:54] <cheetos> nenea
[16:54] <spasysheep> dr_willis, llutz: thanks
[16:55] <dr_willis> emmkai,  if both box's are ubuntu/linux why not just ssh to the remote box and do what you need. theres no need to mess with a complete virtual desktop feature of gnome.
[16:55] <Monster123> dr_willis ahh good idea. That's something I will try...I've never used virtual machines before
[16:56] <dr_willis> Monster123,  you can also boot the iso in vbox. and see if it works.  be sure to get the latest vbox version
[16:56] <Monster123> dr_willis brilliant idea!
[16:56] <spasysheep> why does piping grep into rm give a missing operand error?
[16:56] <dr_willis> its how i test out all the new live cd's i get.
[16:57] <emmkai> dr_willis: so if i can ping the computer (ping XX.XX.XX.XXX), i will simply do ssh connection like so: ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[16:57] <GALAMAR> Hello. What is the backtrack5 channel. Sorry i cant seach right now, using jmirc.
[16:57] <llutz> spasysheep: what was the exact command?
[16:57] <Pici> spasysheep: because rm doesn't take input via stdin.
[16:57] <dr_willis> emmkai,  in theory yes.. you could have just tried it in the time its taken you to ask and me to reply... :)
[16:57] <emmkai> I did try it, only confirming it was the right method, i get this... :     ssh: connect to host XX.XX.XX.XXX port 22: No route to host
[16:58] <dr_willis> emmkai,  does ping that same ip# work?
[16:58] <intrader> Anyone, trying to understand reinstalled 10.10. During installation, partitioning found an NTFS partition, and a 31GB linux; I ended up with a smaller  NTFS, the old 31GB linux and the rest a newly installed linux. The old linux shows in Places as 31GB an is viewable. I want to recover the configuration of the Chrome browser. How do I do that?
[16:58] <Monster123> dr_willis a live cd has never worked a second time for me :/
[16:59] <emmkai> PING XX.XX.XX.XXX (XX.XX.XX.XXX) 56(84) bytes of data.
[16:59] <spasysheep> Pici: ok, is there an easy way to delete a big list of files output by grep?
[16:59] <emmkai> 64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>: icmp_req=1 ttl=63 time=19.0 ms
[16:59] <noneabove1182> hey escott, so as you predicted the disk check last night didnt work
[16:59] <yokobr> hi guys.. I have a GMA 950, and i740 driver installed. Can i install i965 driver?
[16:59] <spasysheep> llutz: cat duplicate_files.txt | grep './unsorted' | rm
[16:59] <llutz> spasysheep: use xargs rm
[16:59] <spasysheep> llutz: huh?
[16:59] <Dulak> spasysheep: | xargs rm
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> yokobr: its in a default install
[16:59] <Dulak> spasysheep: not | rm
[17:00] <llutz> spasysheep: grep "./unsorted" files.txt |xargs rm
[17:00] <escott> intrader, you are going to have to copy files out of ~/.chrome or ~/.config/chrome depending on where it is. I can't tell you what files or where. alternately you could chroot into your system and try and use whatever chromes export mechanism is (assuming it exists)
[17:00] <escott> noneabove1182, sorry i dont remember anything from last night
[17:00] <spasysheep> Dulak, llutz: thanks. does xargs rm take the same options etc as normal rm?
[17:00] <emmkai> dr_willis: i really dont care alot to drive 500 km to fix a computer
[17:00] <llutz> spasysheep: yes
[17:00] <yokobr> ActionParsnip, it's a fresh install. It came with i740 intel driver installed, but i wanna know if i can install i965 driver, since i have a gma 950 graphic card
[17:00] <emmkai> :p
[17:00] <surfdue> For some reason bash now does not recognize any command, like date, or cd or anything
[17:01] <spasysheep> llutz: k
[17:01] <surfdue> correction, recognizes cd, just not date or git
[17:01] <noneabove1182> escott too drunk? haha no jk, im the one with the problem of my ubuntu freezing during startup on wubi and not doing anything when i boot off usb
[17:01] <intrader> escott, chroot, how do
[17:01] <llutz> spasysheep: xargs is just a "wrapper" to translate stdin to program which cannot handle that by default
[17:01] <noneabove1182> escott http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/6128/imag0409q.jpg this is what i get for wubi
[17:01] <intrader> escott, chroot, how do I change it back; by the dev?
[17:02] <drvladimirtzu> How can I put the Places and System menus as sub menus of applications to save some taskbar space?
[17:02] <Dulak> spasysheep: xargs takes a list and runs the command you supply (rm) on each item in the list, so yes, you can use any option for rm you normally would.  ex: cat file_list.txt | xargs rm -rf
[17:02] <escott> noneabove1182, the evergreen card. you should try nomodeset
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> yokobr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/662812/    I'm not kidding
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> yokobr: 965?
[17:03] <escott> intrader, you should try copying files out of the chrome settings folder first
[17:03] <noneabove1182> escott yea that was what you suggested last night, and i tried doing what you said but it wasnt doing the same stuff.. also this is what i get from usb for the record : http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/814/imag0406y.jpg/
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> yokobr: may help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=731476
[17:04] <spasysheep> llutz, Dulak: gah. the file paths have a load of spaces in them, so rm chucks out a load of 'No such file or directory' errors
[17:04] <monster9200> Ok It's booted into a VB
[17:04] <intrader> escott, I will do that, thanks - why did it save the old one?
[17:04] <monster9200> the thing is, it's not showoing the unity
[17:04] <escott> noneabove1182, so you replaced splash with nomodeset then what happened
[17:04] <monster9200> just the old gnome desktop
[17:04] <gerdi> i cant resize windows in 11.4 using unity ..
[17:04] <Dulak> spasysheep: sec you have to use nulls to seperate them
[17:04] <noneabove1182> escott it started up exactly the same
[17:04] <Mrokii> Does somebody know a possible reason why I don't hear the voice of somebody when they call me on Skype?
[17:04] <noneabove1182> escott and got stuck at same screen
[17:04] <mordof> apanda_: buahaha, success is mine :D
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> yokobr: also http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_Graphics_Media_Accelerator_X3100
[17:05] <escott> intrader, you probably said install alongside windows, and so it shrank the windows partition and left the ubuntu untouched
[17:05] <spasysheep> Dulak: nulls?
[17:05] <monster9200> and in theory...once I install this ISO to a flash drive it should work
[17:05] <llutz> spasysheep: grep -Z "./unsorted" files.txt |xargs -0 rm
[17:05] <intrader> escott, thanks
[17:05] <noneabove1182> escott brb i gotta go do something
[17:05] <gerdi> the windows always fix to the top left hand corner behind the top toolbar .. why?
[17:05] <spasysheep> llutz: ok, thanks
[17:05] <mordof> apanda_: took a bit of doing, but finally figured out how to register the new protocol in prism, got devilspie on my localhost web app to set my custom page as my desktop background :D
[17:06] <Dulak> spasysheep: yes so it will use a null byte to seperate list items,  You can do it very easy with find, not sure how with cat, I'm looking
[17:06] <gerdi> #ubuntu-beginners
[17:06] <rabbi1> Can anybody help me connect my 3g modem....?
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> gerdi: default settings..
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: run:   lsusb   the 8 character hex ID will help you find guides
[17:06] <llutz> Dulak: grep -Z  and it definetly needs no cat :)

[17:10] <endip> escott, I found a package in the repo called Pointing Devices that provides all sorts of extra options for input devices. I should have looked there first, but I just assumed there wouldn't be a gui package for it. I was wrong. Works great for turning of touchpad temporarily.

[17:15] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: you are showing my post to me only dude
[17:15] <llutz> spasysheep: you might play with  xargs "-s bytes" option, i never had to use that myself. "man xargs" for more options
[17:15] <helmut_> hi
[17:15] <dr_willis> cliffton,  right click on a folder to share, see if theres a shareing menu item..
[17:15] <spasysheep> llutz: thanks
[17:16] <cliffton> no sharing menu item with right click
[17:16] <Dulak> spasysheep: depending on what you are doing using find or grep would make it much easier
[17:16] <FaRoF4> Someone who can give me help on a cactus (cacti)?
[17:16] <dr_willis> cliffton,  the old school way to enable a share would be to edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf and  create the shares you need.
[17:16] <dr_willis> cliffton,  then give you ruser a samba password via 'sudo smbpasswd -a username'
[17:17] <cliffton> im a total noob to this,  and would have no idea where to start :/
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: the bug may help
[17:17] <dr_willis> I dont use xubuntu, so no idea what other samba helper tools it has.
[17:17] <dr_willis> cliffton,  you may want to ask in #xubuntu if theres a more friendly front end.. or learn to edit config files.. its not that hard.
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> cliffton: I can give you my smb.conf if you want
[17:18] <ganapathy> Hi, I am on Natty and wish to install systemtap. Systemtap suggests linux-debug-2.6. Can someone tell me which package will have that ?
[17:18] <cliffton> well i dont have to use samba of there is an easier way, basicly i just want movies i have on my netbook to be watchable on vista machine
[17:18] <cliffton> i will check out xbuntu
[17:18] <ganapathy> I did try a apt-file search. That didn't return anything useful
[17:18] <dr_willis> cliffton,  thats what samba does.. its 'network neighborhood' for linux->windows
[17:18] <Dnerd> excuse me, does anyone happen to know if i can run ubuntu alongside OSX using boot camp?
[17:18] <Corey> ganapathy: Did you apt-file update first/
[17:18] <Corey> ?
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> cliffton: samba makes your system appear as a windows system sharig stuff, if you only want to share on LAN then running an FTP server may be another way
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> !mac | Dnerd
[17:19] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: I would like to try the other two, by the way any other hint ?
[17:19] <Dnerd> thank you
[17:19] <cliffton> ok i will look into ftp server
[17:19] <ganapathy> Corey: Did it this morning. Will do it again. May be that might help
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: not sure, I don't use 3G except on my phone
[17:19] <ganapathy> Corey: I am in India. So its 22:49 hrs now
[17:19] <Dulak> Dnerd: I believe it's possible, but it's much easier to just run it in a virtual machine, the mac cpus rock for vms
[17:19] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: yeah, that's one option, may be i got reinstall usb-serial with the updated bug....
[17:20] <ganapathy> Corey: Did an apt-file update and again searched. Still no success
[17:20] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: doesn't matter 3g or 2g... its the device and driver config had to be set dead right.. and it works. I wonder why windows works on all devices....
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: because the device has a small storage of drivers
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: when you plug it in the drivers are installed then the device is 'flipped' to be a modem
[17:21] <Tralez> Hello all ubuntu users
[17:22] <dr_willis> cliffton,  heres my smb.conf file that enables the users 'Home' Direcory share. and  a share for the whole of the /media  directory ----> http://paste.ubuntu.com/662832/
[17:22] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: why not that in linux ?
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: Ubuntu doesn't need, nor can it use those drivers so you simply need to flip it and it will work
[17:22] <Guest3258> Hey :D
[17:22] <dr_willis> cliffton,  a ftp server will let you transfer files back and forth.. but not watch them  without first copying them to the windows box.
[17:22] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: how to simply flip it is my question :)
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: because the device initially shows as a storage devcice you are getting issues, you simply need the config to tell your OS to immediately flip it when you plug in
[17:22] <cliffton> oh gotcha, what should i do save it as a text file than make it excutable?
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: that is what usb-modeflip is for
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: does that answer the question?
[17:23] <ItBlends> how do I change the desktop manager that starts at bootup?
[17:23] <stealz> hey

[17:23] <ItBlends> xdm has been broken since maverick :(
[17:23] <dr_willis> cliffton,  its not a script.. You may want to go read a little bit on samba basics at least.
[17:23] <stealz> does anyone know a way to display the filename in fullscreen/slideshow in Eye of Gnome, or any other imageviewer that can do this?
[17:23] <dr_willis> !samba
