[16:17] <eXpLoD> is there any way so I can take space from my windows and add it to ubuntu without having to reformat?I have like 50 GB free and on ubuntu only 10 GB,can I do this?
[16:17] <KM0201> Taos: if you want a way to backup your windows mbr, and then easily restore it... so if you decide to remove linux... there's easy ays to do that
[16:17] <WaltherFI> eXpLoD: old gparted
[16:17] <Taos> *sigh*
[16:18] <KM0201> Taos: but seriously, Wubi is like going the wrong way on a one way highway...
[16:18] <amanda_> Do I want to launch byobu at shell login waltherFI?
[16:18] <tekton> Migaaresno: i will try to connect to my kubuntu from here then, cause the windows belongs to a friend. then i will ask him to try also
[16:18] <WaltherFI> Taos: just install grub, and make windows the first option. it is easy and safe
[16:18]  * Taos hates windows not having dd
[16:18] <KM0201> Taos: when ti fails, it is spectacular and often difficult to fix
[16:18] <WaltherFI> amanda_: oh, what was byoby again
[16:18] <VPNner307> Hi
[16:18] <amanda_> Byobu can launch automatically at login (e.g. console, ssh), providing    │
[16:18] <amanda_>  │ an attachable/detachable window manager on the command line.              │
[16:18] <amanda_>  │                                                                           │
[16:18] <amanda_>  │ If you select this option, Byobu will install a symlink in                │
[16:18] <amanda_>  │ /etc/profile.d. This setting is system-wide, for all users logging into   │
[16:18] <FloodBot3> amanda_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:19]  * KM0201 sighs
[16:19] <VPNner307> I need a little help with OpenVPN and Routing
[16:19] <pksadiq> Taos: windows have dd , ld, gcc, irssi, vim, bash, and almost every thing, except the compiz, I think
[16:19] <WaltherFI> Taos: yeah, dd is awesome, for destroying stuff at least :P dd if dev/zero of /dev sda boom there you go and disk unusable
[16:19] <Taos> im dding winodws right now
[16:19] <crazy_8> how do i tell what video driver i am using from terminal? xorg or vesa??
[16:19] <Kranix> Can't get it to boot from the USB, it's set to do so in the BIOS.
[16:19] <amanda_> If you select this option, Byobu will install a symlink in                │
[16:19] <amanda_>  │ /etc/profile.d. This setting is system-wide, for all users logging into   │
[16:19] <amanda_>  │ the system. Individual users can disable this by touching                 │
[16:19] <amanda_>  │ ~/.byobu/disable-autolaunch, or configuring with 'byobu-config'.
[16:19] <FloodBot3> amanda_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:20] <pksadiq> WaltherFI: I use dd to write iso files, to save cd/dvd to iso files, etc
[16:20] <tekton> wow i just connected to myself and the mirror effect almost crashed my mashine :D
[16:20] <WaltherFI> Kranix: try different port, all computers don't allow boot from some ports
[16:20] <tekton> what is the different between ssh and the vnc? what would be preferable?
[16:20] <WaltherFI> pksadiq: that too, but there are easier and safer ways to do .isos
[16:20] <Kranix> Different USB port?
[16:20] <Dr_Willis> !ssh | tekton
[16:21] <KM0201> tekton: ssh   it's quite a bit more secure
[16:21] <Dr_Willis> tekton:  vnc gives you a remote display.   ssh is a multi-tool.
[16:21] <sacarlson> crazy_8: I think you can see the name of the video driver with the command  lspci -v
[16:21] <pksadiq> Kranix: I think there is something like F12 or F2 to select the drive to be booted, and some time your usb device will be recognized as Hard drive
[16:22] <amanda_> Nothin happened
[16:22] <tekton> so ssh has more options than vnc, and is more secure. great - some kubuntu gui application for ssh?
[16:22] <KM0201> tekton: read the factoid.
[16:22] <VPNner307> i have a root-server running debian and OpenVPN is installed. Both windows 7 clients can connect successfully. But I am not able to ping client1 from client2 or vise versa via vpn
[16:22] <WaltherFI> tekton: sudo apt-get install ssh
[16:22] <amanda_> Would a fresh install be my only option?
[16:22] <josvuk> hello, how to test a dvd drive?
[16:22] <WaltherFI> tekton: you need manuals then, but ssh is easy to install
[16:23] <Azareth> mail email stays in the exim queue but is not send, can you tell me what the problem is?
[16:23] <WaltherFI> josvuk: put something in, check if you see the content
[16:23] <WaltherFI> Azareth: proxys? correct servers/ports set?
[16:23] <tekton> tell  i will read it yes. sorry for the simplicity of my last questions. ssh is already installed in my mashine, also read sth about it but not enough
[16:23] <josvuk> WaltherFI, yes I did this I can't see the content
[16:23] <WaltherFI> josvuk: sudo mount -a
[16:24] <Azareth> WaltherFI : I am a linux newbie so... not sure
[16:24] <WaltherFI> Azareth: check your settings then :)
[16:24] <Migaaresno> VNC is remote frame buffer, its for gui's. While ssh works from the command line. ssh is thus way more bandwith friendly.
[16:24] <sacarlson> VPNner307: you have to enable client to client in openvpn
[16:24] <tekton> ooops "tell" i use in another console :) . thank you for your advice till now. maybe we speak again for it. good evening
[16:24] <VPNner307> yes
[16:24] <josvuk> WaltherFI places computer shows me cd/dvd dirve
[16:24] <WaltherFI> Azareth: google for the correct settings, most email providers have guides to set up mailers
[16:24] <bwright> Migaaresno: You can forward X over SSH.
[16:24] <bwright> Migaaresno: So it depends.
[16:25] <WaltherFI> josvuk: in terminal, run sudo mount -a while having the cd/dvd in
[16:25] <VPNner307> scarlson: yes i have with directive client-to-client in server.conf
[16:25] <compdoc> I hear SPICE would be better than VNC
[16:25] <WaltherFI> compdoc: in general, SSH > others
[16:25] <compdoc> well, not for GUI
[16:25] <WaltherFI> KM0201: take it for a moment, brb
[16:26] <KM0201> lol
[16:26] <veilig_abt> is it possible to save logins to multiple mysql DB's via CLI so I don't have to keep tracking down the credentials?
[16:26] <bwright> catalin: Well it can forward X...
[16:26] <WaltherFI> compdoc: you can forward stuff through ssh?
[16:26] <Kranix> Set it to Hard Drive, still boots to Windows.
[16:26] <WaltherFI> compdoc: no problem
[16:26] <josvuk> WahltherFI: the man page says (usually given in a bootscript)
[16:26] <KM0201> if you really want VPN w/ a desktop, the easy/secure way    just download and install teamviewer on all the machines.. problem solved.. no router configuring, etc
[16:26] <josvuk> What happens to the bootscript?
[16:26] <VPNner307> sacarlson: should i paste my server.conf?
[16:26] <bwright> KM0201: Teamviewer is nice.
[16:26] <lalli> hhow to remove that sidebar at left
[16:27] <KM0201> bwright: and also dead nuts simple to set up... i use it to help my grandma w/ pc probs in kansas
[16:27] <KM0201> lol
[16:27] <WaltherFI> lalli: left click - remove panel
[16:27] <sacarlson> VPNner307: sure and also your route at the server side here's an example http://www.secure-computing.net/wiki/index.php/OpenVPN/Routing
[16:27] <pksadiq> Kranix: in BIOS select the hsrd drive priority and see whether you can select your pendrive there
[16:27] <bwright> KM0201: I used it when debugging graphics issues from across the pacific ocean when developing an indie title :P
[16:27] <lalli> there  is no such button i think
[16:27] <KM0201> :)
[16:27] <Kranix> I tried setting every option in the boot sequence, still booted to Windows.
[16:28] <bwright> Kranix: Get some GRUB and feel the love.
[16:29] <scheibo> having problems with mysql on my server. forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10357143#post10357143 gist: https://gist.github.com/779972
[16:29] <Kranix> How do you install GRUB on a Windows machine?
[16:29] <IdleOne> you don't
[16:29] <MadCarburetor> hi
[16:29] <Ydoow> Hi
[16:29] <IdleOne> Kranix: how did you make your USB bootable?
[16:29] <amanda_> "enable Wifi" is still greyed out...
[16:29] <amanda_> "enable Wifi" is still greyed out...
[16:29] <bwright> IdleOne: It can be done.
[16:30] <bwright> IdleOne: :P
[16:30] <MadCarburetor> I just installed the new unity 2d thingy on Ubuntu 10.10 and it's awesome. but, i can't have stuff on my desktop. how do i enable desktop icons
[16:30] <FloodBot3> bwright: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:30] <josvuk> Hm, my fstab has the entry /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exex,utf8 0 0
[16:30] <KM0201> amanda_: what did you do to try and fix it?
[16:30] <Kranix> I went to the BIOS, then Advanced BIOS settings, then Boot Sequence, then tried selecting all the things in it.
[16:30] <IdleOne> bwright: yes it can but if you can't get the system to boot from USB messing with the boot loader is not a good idea...see what i am saying :)
[16:30] <MadCarburetor> There must be something that i can copy paste in the terminal to make the desktop work
[16:30] <NixGeek> Kranix: You are sure the bios supports usb booting?
[16:30] <josvuk> does this men my dvd is accesable as hdb after mounting it
[16:30] <gobbe> MadCarburetor: as far as i know you cannot have icons with 10.10's unity
[16:30] <IdleOne> Kranix: I mean the USB stick, how did you make it ?
[16:31] <Kranix> It had 3 different boot options with USB i the name...
[16:31] <bwright> IdleOne: mmmm
[16:31] <josvuk> what means the noauto causes this perhabps the problem to ben not maunted automatically
[16:31] <Kranix> I used UNetbootin.
[16:31] <amanda_> byobu
[16:31] <andrei_> how do I change my nick?I forgot
[16:31] <nirazio> I read that there is now a 2D version of Unity built on Qt. How do I install it?
[16:31] <IdleOne> Kranix: and how old is this computer? possible that it does not support boot from usb
[16:31] <josvuk> andrei_ /nick
[16:32] <andrei_> well when I do it nothing happens
[16:32] <NixGeek> Kranix: hmm, have a look at plop: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html it might let you bott your usb stick.  I used it with an old computer to boot Freenas from a usb stick so I could use it as a file server.
[16:32] <josvuk> how
[16:32] <josvuk> what do you do
[16:32] <eXpL0d> it tells me there is already somebody with the username on my ip
[16:32] <eXpL0d> which is me
[16:32] <Kranix> IdleOne, I don't know how old it is, but it can't be that old considering it has Vista.
[16:32] <lalli> i have ubuntu netbook edition, how to delete that sidebar at left
[16:33] <Kranix> And with 3 boot options with USB in the name...
[16:33] <IdleOne> Kranix: hmm see the link NixGeek just gave you. that might help
[16:33] <ZykoticK9> lalli, i highly doubt that is possible
[16:33] <WaltherFI> lalli: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get remove unity
[16:33] <lalli> ffuuuuuuuuu
[16:33] <pksadiq> Kranix: if you feel that your bios doesn't supports USB booting you can use plop boot manager, visit www.plop.at
[16:33] <lalli> ok
[16:33] <WaltherFI> lalli: then you no longer have netbook remix
[16:33] <KM0201> WaltherFI: not sure thats gonna have the desired effect..lol.
[16:33] <WaltherFI> lalli: it goes to regular
[16:33] <lalli> good
[16:33] <lalli> thats what i wanted
[16:33] <NixGeek> pksadiq: a little late on that.  look up about 15 lines...
[16:33] <KM0201> oh... :)
[16:34] <KM0201> why not jut install ubuntu-desktop then?..
[16:34] <pksadiq> NixGeek: I was away, sorry
[16:34] <amanda_> I typed whatever walther said to and it brought up an adduser.thing
[16:34] <NixGeek> pksadiq: it's fine, just pointing it out.  at least someone else here is thinking
[16:34] <WaltherFI> amanda_: which one?
[16:35] <pksadiq> NixGeek: have you ever installed plop on a system booting with grub2?
[16:35] <lalli> last question (for now) how can i exit irssi and get back to terminal
[16:35] <WaltherFI> amanda_: sorry, but i have so many helps going on atm, can't remember everything :/
[16:35] <pksadiq> lalli: /quit
[16:35] <josvuk> sudo mount -a doesn't work still no contetn in places Computer dvdrom
[16:35] <IdleOne> lalli: /exit
[16:35] <amanda_> I cant remember it was right before I asked you about the adduser screen
[16:35] <NixGeek> you don't have to install it, use a floppy or cd
[16:35] <amanda_> it's all good
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> josvuk: you have a entry for the cd in /etc/fstab? normally thats not mounted from there.
[16:36] <amanda_> Is there a code I can try to manually enable wireless?
[16:36] <WaltherFI> amanda_: i don't know about byobu
[16:36] <WaltherFI> amanda_: sudo iwconfig wlan0 up
[16:36] <Dr_Willis> amanda_:  theres commands to configure wireless networking. yes.
[16:36] <NixGeek> pksadiq: I have never installed to a harddrive, the only time I use it is with no waiting boot to usb on my freenas server.
[16:36] <amanda_> Well I let it do whatever it was gonna do
[16:36] <MadCarburetor> Can i have multiple workspaces in the Unity interface?
[16:36] <josvuk> Dr_Willis: Yes I have: /dev/hdb        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
[16:36] <Dr_Willis> josvuk:  notice the 'noauto' option?
[16:36] <josvuk> in the /etc/fstab
[16:36] <Dr_Willis> josvuk:  do sudo mount /media/cdrom0
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> josvuk:  thats weird your cd is /dev/hdb
[16:37] <KM0201> is there any way to mount an ISO to cdrom0?
[16:37] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, that /dev/hdb is very suspicious
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> KM0201:  you can mount an iso file to a directory./
[16:37] <WaltherFI> KM0201: er, rightclick Open with Archive mounter
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> KM0201:  the system really cant tell what kind of drive it is.
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> !loop
[16:37] <KM0201> Dr_Willis: yeah, i know that.... i was just wanting to mount it as a CD, then you can add it as a volume to synaptic
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> !iso
[16:38] <Dr_Willis> KM0201:  you can add it to synaptic anyway from iso i recall.
[16:38] <josvuk> Dr_Willis, yes it is, I guess this happens during last ubuntu update, can't remember any problems bevor
[16:38] <KM0201> Dr_Willis: hmm.. i tried that and didn't have any luck
[16:38] <robbit10> I am about to install Ubuntu 10.10. Is there any reason to use the Alternate Installer?
[16:38] <KM0201> maybe i did it wrong
[16:38] <WaltherFI> robbit10: only if you want to do stuff manually
[16:38] <Dr_Willis> robbit10:  some problem machines - iva had to use the alt-installer cd.
[16:38] <sacarlson> KM0201: I know you can mount an ISO file so what could stop us from mounting at the location /medai/cdrom0 ?  maybe not if it's already mounted to something
[16:38] <Dr_Willis> robbit10:  it also has some different options during the isntall.
[16:38] <WaltherFI> robbit10: alternate install needs knowledge
[16:39] <WaltherFI> !alternate
[16:39] <Kranix> Which of the files should I download, plpbt-5.0.11-2.zip?
[16:39] <robbit10> !minimal
[16:39] <francisco> What do I need for see me with a cam' Which program is supported in Xubutnu?
[16:39] <KM0201> sacarlson: well, definitely nothing is mounted in /media/cdrom0 now
[16:39] <yeats> robbit10: the alternate installer keeps you from having to boot into the full GUI environment - it's a better option in many cases
[16:39] <josvuk> Dr_Willis:
[16:39] <josvuk> josef@josef-laptop:~$ sudo mount /media/cdrom0

[16:42] <pieter_> hi fellow ubuntu users, I need some help please.
[16:42] <nunojpg> is there any reference for /usr/share/pam-configs more detailed than https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PAMConfigFrameworkSpec ?
[16:42] <pieter_> I just upgraded from kubuntu 10.04 to 10.10. After the upgrade, everything was just fine and I experienced no boot problems.
[16:42] <HugoGF> When my computer runs out of battery it just dies completely in ubuntu, it doesn't try to go to sleep before that happens or anything, or warn me that I have low battery. Can someone help me resolve this?
[16:42] <KM0201> yeats: whats worse, is when they do it multiple times
[16:42] <pieter_> I then ran the software update manager and it asked me to run a partial distribution update, which I did.
[16:42] <KM0201> despite being told to paste
[16:42] <pieter_> Now when I boot, it hangs at the kubuntu splash screen (I mean this: http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/7523/kubuntuplymouth.png ).
[16:42] <pieter_> The magic sysrq keys still work. When I press the power button, the 'lights' of the splashscreen change and it shuts down.
[16:42] <amanda_> ok, so I tried sudo iwconfig wlan0 up and that said could not find command "up" do I tried again with "up" taken out
[16:42] <pieter_> I'm not dual booting another OS.
[16:42] <pieter_> Thank you very much in advance!

[16:49] <KM0201> amanda_: seriously?...
[16:49] <yeats> amanda_ !!!
[16:49] <KM0201> for crying out loud
[16:50] <IdleOne> amanda_: Please do not paste in here use paste.ubuntu.com
[16:50] <KM0201> IdleOne: she's been told like 20 times
[16:50] <KM0201> lol
[16:50] <IdleOne> amanda_: Please don't make me have to ban you for abuse.
[16:50] <Ixi> Is there a specific channel for first time fails?
[16:50] <amanda_> I went there, what did I do wrong?
[16:50] <KM0201> amanda_: go there, paste your text, click submit, then copy/paste the URL and give that to us
[16:50] <IdleOne> amanda_: after you paste to the site you can give the url to the person helping you.
[16:51] <amanda_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/554421/
[16:51] <IdleOne> there we go :)
[16:51] <KM0201> hallelujah!
[16:51]  * WaltherFI applaudes
[16:51] <amanda_> Really sorry guys
[16:51] <IdleOne> no worries
[16:51]  * yeats congratulates amanda_
[16:51] <WaltherFI> yeah, we all have been new to something some time, no problem
[16:52] <KM0201> WaltherFI: lol, but figuring out paste usually didnt' require getting kicked 4-5x..lol
[16:52] <KM0201> it lokos like the wireless device is off
[16:52] <amanda_> I was decent with windows...Hate the noob feeling all over again
[16:52] <LoganJRuff> amanda_, it disappears quickly
[16:53] <IdleOne> amanda_: don't worry about being new. we all start somewhere.
[16:53] <amanda_> Yeah, it turned its self off yesterday
[16:53] <perlmonkey2> Is there a firefox beta repo?
[16:53] <WaltherFI> amanda_: and using linux is already pro compared to winodws ;)
[16:53] <amanda_> It was on for 2-3 days, hen all of a sudden off
[16:53] <IdleOne> amanda_: does your laptop have a switch to turn on/off wifi?
[16:53] <WaltherFI> perlmonkey2: probably google is your friend at that, iäve seen tehre is
[16:53] <amanda_> No
[16:53] <KM0201> amanda_: do you have like a wireless button?.. to turn your wireless on/off.. thta you normally use?
[16:53] <amanda_> no
[16:53] <KM0201> ah
[16:53] <WaltherFI> amanda_: could be a driver issue - mine died after some update
[16:54] <Ixi> Does anyone use Ubuntu netbook edition here?
[16:54] <WaltherFI> amanda_: my wireless on laptop does not work anymore at all, the whole device is not being recognized
[16:54] <KM0201> WaltherFI: what is your device?
[16:54] <WaltherFI> !ask | ixi
[16:54] <IdleOne> Ixi: many do, what is your question?
[16:54] <WaltherFI> KM0201: realtek ones...
[16:54] <KM0201> hmm
[16:54] <WaltherFI> KM0201: i tried compiling some drivers from sources, didn't happen
[16:54] <lover> helloowww
[16:54] <amanda_> It sees the wifi network I set up when I go to network connections
[16:55] <KM0201> i've never had luck w/ ndiswrapper... but maybe you/she coul try that
[16:55] <lover> i just installed ubuntu netbook 10.04
[16:55] <ubuntu> Is there a good Lubuntu Forum
[16:55] <Ixi> Sorry WaltherFI, I didn't know...
[16:55] <lover> but cannot hear from the netbook speaker, have to use earphone
[16:55] <IdleOne> ubuntu: #lubuntu
[16:55] <KM0201> amanda_: what do you mean "sees it"... it shows your configuration, or it actually shows the network, just that you're not connected to it.
[16:55] <lover> somebody help
[16:55] <Ixi> IdleOne, I am just a first time noobie who can't connect to her wireless internet Dx
[16:55] <amanda_> yes
[16:55] <ubuntu> ok
[16:55] <WaltherFI> Ixi: yeah no problem with me, it's not a problem at all - it's just a matter of keeping the flood to minimum as this is a very fast-paced channel
[16:56] <eXpL0d> when i compile and build a c program with codeblocks,the output will be in the release directory,but i cannot run it!
[16:56] <WaltherFI> lover: yeah, just ask the question :)
[16:56] <IdleOne> !wifi | Ixi
[16:56] <KM0201> amanda_: i dunno, i would try 10.10, but thats just me.
[16:56] <Ixi> thank you IdleOne <3 sorry for being a bother
[16:56] <WaltherFI> lover: oh sorry my mistake. Have you checked the sound preferences?
[16:56] <IdleOne> Ixi: no bother :)
[16:57] <amanda_> Hmm you think that'd work
[16:57] <amanda_> Or maybe just a fresh install of 10.04.1?
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> eXpL0d: is the resulting file marked as executable?
[16:58] <Ixi> >.< Thats not the same as mine looks, the netbook edition looks different and I am in network connections, I can add one but I can't connect if that makes sense...
[16:58] <WaltherFI> I wonder if I I wonder if i could get CAS hours for helping people here xD
[16:58] <KM0201> amanda_: maybe.. but if an update on 10.04 broke the system.. it's logical when it updates again, it's gonna break again... i dunno
[16:58] <IdleOne> amanda_: a fresh install will probably fix the issue, seems a little extreme but if nothing else has worked.
[16:58] <HugoGF> My computer runs out of battery and dies, it doesn't attempt to go to sleep at all. How do I make it go to sleep before it dies
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> Ixi: when you are connected, can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[16:58] <WaltherFI> amanda_: also, why bother installing 10.04.1, you could go 10.10 at the same time
[16:59] <amanda_> True, I'll try 10.10 and report back later
[16:59] <francisco_> Can someone help me? I don't know how to install my webcam on my xubuntu
[17:00] <amanda_> Thanks for your help an patients
[17:00] <pksadiq> !webcam | francisco_
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> francisco_: if you install and run cheese, do you see yourself
[17:00] <francisco_> lol thx xD
[17:01] <HugoGF> My computer runs out of battery and dies, it doesn't attempt to go to sleep at all. How do I make it go to sleep before it dies?
[17:02] <WaltherFI> HugoGF: power preferences
[17:02] <sam-_-> HugoGF, happens even on windows when the battery is old and reports strange values
[17:02] <WaltherFI> HugoGF: right click on the battery icon, preferences
[17:02] <WaltherFI> HugoGF: also, occasionally it just happens no matter the setting
[17:03] <MauriceJ> Hello, everyone!  I have successfully installed IE6 and IE7 on my system (10.04) using winetricks and exporting to .wine_ie6 and .wine_ie7 but when I tried for IE8 all seemed well until I tried to actually connect to a site using IE8.  Is anyone aware of any glitches that I've overlooked or wasn't able to find searching online?  Thank you for your time in advance.
[17:03]  * mneptok stares blankly
[17:03] <MauriceJ> Did I say something wrong?
[17:03] <wiw> How do I begin troubleshooting my new Ubuntu install not being able to suspend? (it looks like it's going well, and then the screen blanks but doesn't turn off and gets stuck)
[17:04] <MauriceJ> Besides installing IE for testing of CSS?
[17:04] <mneptok> MauriceJ: no, i just have no idea why anyone would actually *want* to use IE.
[17:04] <wiw> ^ +1
[17:04] <WaltherFI> MauriceJ: IE8 is quite new, wine can't develop fast enough to contain support for every program at the moment they come out
[17:04] <MauriceJ> Web developer purposes of testing CSS ONLY.
[17:04] <MauriceJ> WaltherFI: OK Thank you veyr much, wasn't aware of that.
[17:04] <mneptok> MauriceJ: so use a VM rather than WINE
[17:04] <WaltherFI> MauriceJ: also, try browsershots.org ;)
[17:04] <Barnabas> wiw: also make sure your system uses laptop mode
[17:04] <Barnabas> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-laptop-power-saving/
[17:05] <pksadiq> !css
[17:05] <MauriceJ> WaltherFI: I'd love to but getting the results is a bit slow for my timeframe usually.  Thank you for the suggestion, though!
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> MauriceJ: IE runs pretty bad in wine. To get a true use you'll need to use a full windows install in virtualbox or vmware
[17:05] <pksadiq> !html
[17:05] <MauriceJ> ActionParsnip: Ah, darn.  Okay good to know, thank you, mate!
[17:06] <mneptok> MauriceJ: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[17:06] <mneptok> MauriceJ: then bust out your Windows installer media and install Windows to a VM
[17:06] <ComradeHaz`> MauriceJ: see PM :)
[17:07] <compdoc> no one seems to like KVM
[17:07] <mneptok> MauriceJ: this has the advantage of providing you with the complete IE library underpinnings, so you can be sure the results you see are the results Windows users will see.
[17:07] <wiw> Barnabas: Thanks, I see it's not in laptop mode, however I'm unable to get the terminal into su... Is it a separate password than the one for my admin user?
[17:07] <gobbe> compdoc: i like
[17:07] <compdoc> me too
[17:07] <Barnabas> wiw : sudo is always used with your own password
[17:07] <hiexpo> ? is when i plug in my usb devices they always auto mount but i used dd to put an iso on one and it doesnt auto mount anymore how do i mount it so i can formatit
[17:07] <Barnabas> not that of the root user
[17:08] <MauriceJ> mneptok: Okay, good to know and I think that's the only real solution at this point.  Thank you.
[17:08] <wiw> Barnabas: I am using my own password. And I also happen to be the admin... It's saying "authentication failure"
[17:08] <mneptok> MauriceJ: np.
[17:10] <Enekk> @wiw I just joined in, are you saying you are unable to change your privilages to root in ubuntu (password denied)?
[17:10] <mneptok> wiw: don't use su. use sudo.
[17:10] <wiw> I tried both
[17:11] <mneptok> wiw: sudo -i
[17:11] <Enekk> @wiw if all else fails: http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub
[17:11] <wiw> "permission denied"
[17:11] <mOHawk> wiw is caps on or off
[17:11] <mneptok> wiw: then you are having a problem with your password. if your account was not allowed to use sudo, you'd get output that reflected that.
[17:11] <Barnabas> wiw: never ever use the root account as the user account
[17:12] <wiw> I can only remeber ever giving my system one password, which is my user's password (the one I put in every time I log in), that the one I'm supposed to be using, right?
[17:12] <mneptok> wiw: with sudo, yes. with su, no.
[17:12] <IdleOne> wiw: correct
[17:12] <mOHawk> yep
[17:12] <wiw> sudo doesn't ask for a password
[17:12] <pksadiq> wiw: what about sudo -i ?
[17:13] <IdleOne> something wrong in sudoers if sudo is not asking for a password
[17:13] <mneptok> wiw: "sudo" is a command that requires arguments.
[17:13] <Barnabas> IdleOne, or the user is not in the correct user group
[17:13] <wiw> the command I'm trying is 'sudo echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode'
[17:13] <jetscreamer> how do you move the minimize/maximaie/close buttons on the windows from the left to the right
[17:13] <mneptok> wiw: you don;t just typew "sudo" but the entire command you want to run as root
[17:13] <Enekk> exit
[17:13] <mOHawk> find the shadow if i remember right
[17:13] <jetscreamer> s/maximaie/maximize/
[17:13] <IdleOne> wiw: try: sudo apt-get update
[17:14] <IdleOne> does it ask for pass?
[17:14] <mneptok> wiw: that's 2 commands, and the second will require root privileges it does not have
[17:14] <jetscreamer> your user's pw
[17:14] <wiw> 'sudo apt-get update' worked, it asked for a password
[17:14] <mneptok> wiw: you want "sudo -i" and then "echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode"
[17:14] <jetscreamer> that user's password
[17:15] <IdleOne> ok so mneptok is correct, malformed command
[17:15] <wiw> alright, that seems to have worked
[17:15] <IdleOne> cookie for mneptok :)
[17:16] <jetscreamer> so the buttons on the windows, a metacity thing or a theme thing
[17:16] <jetscreamer> gnome uses metacity by default?
[17:16] <IdleOne> jetscreamer: or compiz if enabled
[17:16] <mneptok> jetscreamer: both. a Metacity theme thing.
[17:16] <ZykoticK9> !controls | jetscreamer
[17:16] <jetscreamer> thx ahh. thanks again.. AHH thanks
[17:16] <wiw> I'm gonna try to suspend the system again, thanks!
[17:17] <Ixi> goodnight all!

[17:22] <gops> hi world
[17:22] <killjoke_> I used that same live CD on a laptop and it worked fine
[17:22] <IdleOne> same cd might work differently on different hardware
[17:22] <gops> What is the command for printing the current time in 24-hour format?

[17:24] <killjoke_> I tried to go around installing 8.04 and making upgrade after upgrade till 10.04 (and then it diddn't boot)
[17:26] <killjoke_> and it doesn't ever since
[17:26] <paissad> guys, when i do for example "ssh -X user@host mplayer video.avi"
[17:26] <paissad> i would like to know if it's possible to have the video & the sound in client post !
[17:27] <grymlock> I am running Ubuntu Server 10 and having an issue accessing it via port 11211.  I do a netstat -an and it show that port is active on IP <IP_ADDRESS> (localhost) and not the actual IP of the server.  Anyone have any idea what I need to do to get port 11211 active on the actual servers IP?
[17:27] <grim_foque66> hello people
[17:27] <grim_foque66> I've got a little problem with my audio
[17:27] <soreau> grymlock: Try #ubuntu-server or #networking
[17:27] <soreau> ! server | grymlock
[17:27] <grim_foque66> just got a new Mo.Bo. Gigabyte socket for amd athlon II
[17:27] <grim_foque66> it was working well with Fedora 14
[17:27] <induz>  hello, i have yahoo email acc. Is there anyway i ca get those email msg on Ubuntu Evolution or thunderbird??
[17:28] <soreau> ! audio | grim_foque66

[17:28] <soreau> induz: yes
[17:28] <induz> soreau, How?
[17:28] <soreau> induz: Just set it up like any other account
[17:28] <abhijeet> induz.. you can use zimbra desktop..
[17:28] <Pudabudigada> Hello, how can I get information on my PC's hardware in software?
[17:28] <IdleOne> grim_foque66: check the sound prefs and unmute?
[17:28] <Sary> killjoke_, have you tried any off of the Boot Parameters options.
[17:29] <induz> abhijeet, zimra??
[17:29] <abhijeet> induz, just give ur email id and it will do all the setup..
[17:29] <soreau> Pudabudigada: lspci && lsusb
[17:29] <abhijeet> induz, yes.
[17:29] <abhijeet> induz, zimbra desktop
[17:29] <Pudabudigada> soreau, enter that in terminal?
[17:29] <induz> abhijeet, email ID to who??
[17:29] <induz> abhijeet, do i have to download it??
[17:29] <abhijeet> install zimbra desktop and provide it to the app
[17:29] <induz> abhijeet, i have Lucid
[17:29] <abhijeet> induz, yes
[17:29] <soreau> Pudabudigada: Yes, it will tell you exactly what is on the pci bus and the usb bus respectively
[17:30] <induz> abhijeet, How can i download zimbra??
[17:30] <abhijeet> induz, it doest depend on os
[17:30] <induz> abhijeet, is it portable??
[17:30] <abhijeet> induz, yes: http://www.zimbra.com/products/desktop.html
[17:30] <pieter_> KM0201: thanks, solved it, it was a graphics problem. I used Nvidia proprietary drivers, which were removed during the upgrade
[17:30] <abhijeet> induz, download for linux
[17:31] <Pudabudigada> Thanks, what about ISA, RS232 and parallel?
[17:31] <JNZ> Alrighty, so why is it that hardware drivers isn't finding any drivers for me?
[17:31] <JNZ> Is there something about the new Ubuntu that makes it not want to work by default?
[17:31] <grymlock> Thanks, heading over to server chat....
[17:32] <induz> abhijeet,  what is IMAP email???? is yahoo has one
[17:32] <Sary> killjoke_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[17:32] <induz> abhijeet, I have simple yahoo acc
[17:32] <abhijeet> induz, it will work with simple yahoo account
[17:32] <medvind> ntify goofy
[17:33] <LoganJRuff> JNZ, primarily that it is new and we haven't worked all the bugs out yet.
[17:33] <induz> its a tgz file abhijeet
[17:33] <killjoke_> Sary, I was checking what happens: it shows a rectangle and a circle with a man inside, and the screen turns black with a blinking vursor
[17:33] <killjoke_> that's all
[17:33] <abhijeet> induz, first download it
[17:33] <abhijeet> then double clieck it
[17:33] <induz> abhijeet, i am downloading it
[17:33] <JNZ> LoganJRuff: Right so, how can I get at my drivers? ;)
[17:33] <abhijeet> induz, ok are u new to linux??
[17:33] <Pudabudigada> Also, that '&&', will that let me enter any pair of commands, would, say 'apt-get-update && apt-get upgrade' work?
[17:33] <induz> i had thunderbird and evolution abhijeet ]
[17:34] <JNZ> LoganJRuff: I'm actually on Ubuntu 9.10
[17:34] <JNZ> So, not really the new one :p
[17:34] <JNZ> But, new enough for me.
[17:34] <induz> abhijeet, yes
[17:34] <ZykoticK9> Pudabudigada, yes, && means "after successful completion, run this next command"
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Pudabudigada:  one issue with doing that. is that ANY error from update. will keep upgrade from working.
[17:35] <LoganJRuff> JNZ, which drivers are you looking for? You can lspci | grep -i <video>,<wireless>,<etc> to find your hardware information, then google for the drivers.
[17:35] <abhijeet> induz, check your yahoo mail if they have opened the pop and SMPT .. if yes you can use thunderbird . otherwise you have to zimbra.. which is a yahoo product
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> Pudabudigada:  even if its just a wearning about duplicate sources.
[17:35] <Pudabudigada> Thanks, that is going to make things much easier!
[17:35] <JNZ> LoganJRuff: The NVIDIA ones for my video card :p
[17:35] <neiz> is anyone familiar with the devel package, 'ppu-gcc'?  I am searching for it in 10.10
[17:35] <JNZ> LoganJRuff: It's just annoying that I have to go manually get them, since NVIDIA has proprietary ones out there and in the past Ubuntu had found them automatically.
[17:35] <LoganJRuff> JNZ, lspci | grep -i video for me, please?
[17:36] <JNZ> LoganJRuff: It returns nothing
[17:36] <ZykoticK9> JNZ "lspci | grep -i vga"
[17:36] <LoganJRuff> Thanks ZykoticK9
[17:36] <error21> flash player freeze why?
[17:36] <JNZ> "VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0e22 (rev a1)", ZykoticK9
[17:38] <ZykoticK9> LoganJRuff, any idea why JNZ is getting "...Device 0e22..." 'cause i sure don't.  Good luck guys.
[17:38] <JNZ> He dropped, ZykoticK9
[17:38] <hiexpo> IdleOne, hey i have an iso on a usb stick and i will not automount so i did a fdusk -l and it comes up  /dev/sdb1/ on a hidden file system   how can i mount it and reformat it
[17:38] <IdleOne> hiexpo: why ask me directly?
[17:39] <hiexpo> IdleOne, figured you would know i asked in the channel earlier and no answer
[17:40] <Sary> killjoke_, i had a a similar issue , while trying to install Ubuntu from LiveCD via USB , i i couldn't reach the installation process window/setup , it just freezes there with a black/blank screen.
[17:41] <finalspy> Hi I'd like to get help for recovering deleted files on my main partition (ext4), where should I ask ?
[17:41] <YouKay> !resetpanel
[17:42] <shcherbak> finalspy: there is help page about data recovery.
[17:42] <DThought> finalspy: http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/
[17:42] <error21> can some one help me?
[17:42] <finalspy> yep but my problem is that data where mounted on / and I can't unmount it
[17:42] <SDr> hiya
[17:43] <finalspy> so I can't use extundelete at that time :( ... any ideas ?
[17:43] <shcherbak> finalspy: use liveCD, What data on /
[17:43] <shcherbak> ?
[17:43] <Pudabudigada> error21, Only if you say your problem ;)
[17:43] <SDr> our live server went down yesterday for reasons unknown, needed to do a manual powercycle on it. what are the logs I should check first?
[17:43] <shcherbak> SDr: all logs
[17:43] <shcherbak> SDr: start from auth
[17:44] <SDr> shcherbak, > Jan 14 20:39:01 speedsell1 CRON[23111]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root
[17:45] <induz> abhijeet, I am still checking with yahoo
[17:45] <finalspy> Live CD good idea, but I can't get network working from it :(
[17:45] <SDr> and a lots of these, but these are just cronjobs
[17:45] <abhijeet> induz, ok
[17:45] <shcherbak> SDr: What is cron, sudo crontab -e to see what is in.
[17:45] <finalspy> I'll try to get the latest  cause my is a bit old (10.04)
[17:46] <shcherbak> finalspy: why you cannot get net from liveCd?
[17:46] <SDr> shcherbak, cron only contains jobs I've specified
[17:46] <SDr> shcherbak, and the cronjob-logins cross-referenced with the job timings are checking out
[17:46] <mneptok> SDr: /var/log/messages is something you'll want to look at

[17:53] <mynyml> humbu: did you try `tar -xzvf jahshaka.tar.hz` ?
[17:54] <humbu> mynymi: im sort of new to ubuntu so dont really know what that is...
[17:54] <shcherbak> SDr: oh, good option is to make new adnim, and change all passwords, including sql.
[17:54] <mynyml> humbu: .tar means it's an archive (many files packed into a single one) and .gz means it's compressed
[17:55] <mynyml> `tar -xzvf filename` will uncompress it and unpack it
[17:55] <SDr> shcherbak, yes, we're already through with the paranioia options.

[17:58] <Sary> killjoke_,i successfully logged into Ubuntu box.
[17:58] <schnuffle> bencahill 64bit: more than 4GB usable
[17:59] <enaut> bencahill: 32bit has better flash
[17:59] <enaut> :)
[17:59] <BluesKaj> hmm , interesting ,if deluge DL speed is high enuff it eems to kick my irc server off
[17:59] <bencahill> schnuffle: no, other than that
[17:59] <bencahill> enaut: ok, good to know
[17:59] <SDr> shcherbak, we put apache back yesterday with a powercycle, so last modification is, like, right now (as it's being hit by around 1.5K uniques a day)
[17:59] <shcherbak> SDr: well, paranoia would be to nuke server at once, better to make sure there no issue in that matter. you said sendmail?
[17:59] <bencahill> schnuffle: this is for a laptop with ~512MB ram :D
[18:00]  * BluesKaj dumps deluge in favour of ktorrent
[18:00] <schnuffle> bencabill: not really for the moment, the 32bit is better supported library wise,so if you don't need more than 4GB stay with 32it
[18:00] <killjoke_> notice sary how can I remove that line if I have nothing to chose in a blank screen?
[18:00] <SDr> shcherbak, yes, sendmail
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: that's enough ram for ubuntu
[18:00] <bencahill> schnuffle: ok, that's what i was thinking
[18:00] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: yes, I know
[18:01] <Sary> killjoke_,try y pressing F6 or F4.

[18:01] <grkblood> not what theyre set at, but what theyre playing at
[18:01] <schnuffle> bencabill: I would go something more light with 52MB, Lubuntu, Puppy or something like that
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> grkblood: alsamixer
[18:01] <grkblood> like if i have a song playing i want to see the level moving with the song
[18:01] <bencahill> !tab | schnuffle
[18:01] <grkblood> alsamixer doesntdo that
[18:01] <grkblood> alsamixer just shows set levels
[18:02] <grkblood> i want to see the song moving up and down volume wise
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> grkblood: sure it does, http://linux.dsplabs.com.au/files/p29-alsa/alsamixer-left-right-channel-control.png    shows the levels perfectly

[18:04] <mustard> whats an xterm?
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> mustard: its an app like terminal

[18:05] <enaut> ziro`: if you work with vim and every time you have a problem google it... like that you will get exactly the knowlege you need because you hardly can learn all of vim :)
[18:06] <shcherbak> SDr: syslog, dmesg would be source of knowledge, also kern.log
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> mustard: not sure, its part of a default install so if you press ALT+F2 and run:   xterm    it will run
[18:06] <ziro`> :) thanks!
[18:06] <schnuffle> mustard: xterm is just a single terminal windows, very basic
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> silentz0r: in KDE if you press ALT+F2 and run:  compiz --replace    does it run?
[18:06] <enaut> Anyone any Idea how to restore a filesystem? or at least where to ask?
[18:07] <mustard> actionparsnip: thnx
[18:07] <mustard> schnuffle:thnx
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> enaut: use your backups
[18:07] <silentz0r> ActionParsnip: Yes, but i get the grey-ish theme around my kde windows and it looks horrible. Even desktop effects partially work with compiz --replace

[18:07] <shcherbak> SDr: but out of the box logs are not much help in such cases.
[18:07] <Koheleth> mustard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xterm
[18:07] <schnuffle> mustard:  type id or whoami
[18:08] <enaut> ActionParsnip: well thing is that not all backups are 100% recent...
[18:08] <schnuffle> mustard: add a user with sudo adduser
[18:08] <mustard> schnuffle: it says im admin
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> enaut: hmm, then you may be able to use foremost. I suggest you review your backup reginme
[18:09] <schnuffle> mustard: sudo gives you root rights for the following command
[18:09] <mustard> schnuffle: it doesnt work
[18:09] <Windowed> hello all I have some issues with an old portale box and my xubuntu screen resolution.. I must have messed up my safe mode
[18:10] <mustard> [sudo] password for shero:  adduser: Only one or two names allowed.
[18:10] <schnuffle> mustard:  what does it tell you?
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> enaut: you can use it in liveCD and you will need a decent sized partittion / network store to spit the found files to, if the data has been overwritten it is lost
[18:10] <silentz0r> ActionParsnip: any other suggestions? I'm going nuts here :(
[18:10] <mustard> schnuffle: i put in my pass then it said only one or two names allowed
[18:10] <schnuffle> mustard:  type $ sudo adduser
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> silentz0r: thats all I know, are effects THAT important? Have you asked in 3kubuntu
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> !adduser | mustard
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> #kubuntu sorry, silentz0r

[18:18] <Windowed> tasksel KM0201
[18:18] <mustard> shcherbak: ya ive been running tons of commands that also works
[18:19] <shcherbak> mustard: what does not?
[18:19] <Windowed> I installed on an old machine using the mini iso and command line install and then installed kubuntu thru tasksel command
[18:19] <KM0201> Windowed: you'll probably have to uninstall each package individually would be my guess.... sudo apt-get remove packagename   or use the GUI (system/admin/synaptic package manager)
[18:19] <mustard> shcherbak: i can do sudo echo 1
[18:19] <shcherbak> mustard: what does not work?
[18:19] <KM0201> Windowed: so what are you wanting to do, remove kubuntu, and get back to CLI only?
[18:20] <mustard> shcherbak: Im editing my admin account and in the advanced options>privileges it has connect to wireless and ethernet networks unchecked.
[18:20] <Windowed> thanks KM0201 No, I'm simply having big problems with the screen resolution
[18:20] <KM0201> oh

[18:20] <KM0201> !resolution | Windowed
[18:20] <Windowed> Now I booted in Gnome safe mode and that did it... now what?
[18:21] <shcherbak> mustard: I do think it has something to do with auto-connect features, does wifi also connects?
[18:22] <Windowed> in gnome safe mode everything works ok, but if I boot normally it's a mess! Either the resolution is bigger than the available space on the screen (i tried xrandr scale but it does not solve it) or it's all garbled up
[18:22] <mustard> shcherbak: ya wifi auto connects on startup . thats probably it. but if I wanted to connect an xbox 360 would i have to network bridge or can i just plug ethernet and it works
[18:24] <Windowed> what if i try system testing in safe mode to determine the correct settings? could that be a solution?
[18:24] <Hypoglybetic> I am unable to access my W7 shares or Ubuntu Shares.  I get the login window to appear but every ID/PW/Domain I use is wrong.  When connecting from w7 the domain is set at "Q6600" (my comps name).  Can someone help? Thanks.
[18:25] <shcherbak> mustard: In Network Manager there is option (while editing connection) to apply to all users, Xbox - no clue, i think you need to enable "share connection" also in Network Manager.

[18:31] <soreau> mrchinosun: Perhaps your phone truncates the playback. Is the file size the same after you transfer it?

[18:32] <soreau> Bilz: Which version of ubuntu are you using?
[18:32] <Bilz> soreau, a fresh install of maverick
[18:32] <LjL> szpreader: ctrl alt f7 or f8 or somesuch
[18:32] <soreau> Bilz: You shouldn't have installed anything additional then
[18:32] <shcherbak> humbu: Have you googled jashsaka ubuntu it may be in ppa (private repositories)?
[18:32] <Bilz> soreau, well, i didnt need to. i tried to

[18:33] <humbu> shcherbak: ill search again, but ive been trying to learn seems like im on here asking about things every day....
[18:33] <szpreader> ok, but does it resume the default?
[18:33] <schnuffle> szpreader:  CTRL+ALT+F7 brings you back to X
[18:33] <shcherbak> humbu: Well, source...
[18:33] <soreau> Bilz: Colored files indicate something about the file permissions or type
[18:33] <szpreader> ok, thanks......can I ask you another thing?
[18:34] <schnuffle> szpreader: It doesn't change anything, Yes of course :)
[18:34] <szpreader> sometimes my desktop freezes.....
[18:34] <Bilz> soreau, when I mounted it like normal it was normal colours. ie sudo mount /media/parition /dev/sda7
[18:34] <Bilz> when i mount it through fstab I get this
[18:34] <Bilz> and it bugs me
[18:34] <szpreader> is it because of the video card?
[18:34] <soreau> Bilz: What if you try sudo umount /dev/sda7 && sudo mount -a
[18:34] <Uchen> probably
[18:35] <Bilz> soreau, thats how i mounted it after adding it in fstab
[18:35] <Bilz> i ran sudo mount -a
[18:35] <greppy> Bilz: the colors are reflecting what the permissions are.
[18:35] <Bilz> greppy, i understand. but why are they different in the 2 cases.
[18:35] <soreau> Bilz: What is the permissions of the directory you're mounting to?
[18:35] <error21> what to do my flash player freeze
[18:35] <greppy> Bilz: what are the differences in the permissions? :) who owns them etc in each case?
[18:35] <schnuffle> szpreader:  Mostly the reason but witout logs hard to guess have a look into /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:35] <Bilz> soreau, i dont really know about permissions. but i created the directory using sudo, and then mounted with sudo. so whatever the default permissions are then?
[18:36] <shcherbak> humbu: In simple version: unpack, cd to source directory, run: ./configure  then make then sudo make install.... in parctice, you will run into dependencies issue, also README and INSTALL files are worth reading.
[18:36] <soreau> Bilz: I guess it should work fine then
[18:36] <Bilz> soreau, it works fine, but it just bugs me is all. seems weird too
[18:36] <soreau> Bilz: Look at the output of ls -l on the mount point when mounting both different ways

[18:47] <Cagelin> If anyone is willing to help, I have a quick question... I'm running sabnzb (a newsgroup leecher) and it's saving files that I download to my workspace drive, which is an NTFS partition. How do I auto-mount this drive BEFORE the sabnzb daemon starts? Because, everytime I restart my computer in ubuntu, the directory paths get reset because the Workspace drive isn't mounted.
[18:48] <seshagiri> @frustro: ur splash screen is corrupted???
[18:49] <seshagiri> @frustro: are you using  a 32 bit ubuntu??
[18:49] <schnuffle> Cagelin:  ption one: automount the partition -> enter a line in /etc/ftab Option2: write a small start script that mounts the partition before starting your app
[18:49] <frustro> seshagiri, why yes it is, no x64
[18:49] <Cagelin> Thanks schnuffle.
[18:49] <Cagelin> I'll give it a try :)
[18:50] <schnuffle> Cagelin:  its /etc/fstab
[18:50] <midi> Cagelin,
[18:50] <Cagelin> Yes, got it
[18:50] <Cagelin> how do I retreive the UUID I need for my NTFS drive? :o
[18:51] <ocean> Cagelin: sudo blkid
[18:51] <staff_nowa> On Apache a lot of requests after which falls Apache, which is an alternative to apache ?
[18:51] <humbu> is there a list or repositories that you can get for different sofware somewhere online...
[18:52] <schnuffle> staff_nowa:  nginx, lighthttpd but apache is a good choice
[18:52] <oddtod> hello, I am trying to use Ubuntu to connect to my home VPN. I have the pem file ip and password correctly set. I have tried creating a tap device by adding in a br0 device in /etc/network/interfaces restarted networking. I get connection timed out when i try to connect. I know the VPN is operational because I can connect on windows side.
[18:52] <Cagelin> cheers ocean :)
[18:52] <schnuffle> staff_nowa:  so better to check the error and correct it
[18:52] <greppy> oddtod: what kind of vpn?
[18:52] <oddtod> OpenVPN running on Endian
[18:52] <ocean> humbu: besides everything in the software centre, you can also search ppa's : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[18:52] <oddtod> greppy: openvpn running on endian**
 but my VPS server have 512 RAM and then they down to 0 mb i get cannot allocate memory
[18:53] <glaceman> good evening every 1
[18:53] <humbu> thanks ocean:
[18:53] <greppy> oddtod: Do you get any errors on the server side or the client side?
[18:53] <ether-boy> is it possible to use google DNS servers for my laptop over wifi. I have a DSL modem connection over a wifi router. When needed Admin access to router is possible but not preferred in this case.
 i use apache2 + mysql (innodb) + and more curl query to another sites
[18:54] <schnuffle> staff_nowa:  drop all unecassry modules, limit the max proceses. Running php apps?
[18:54] <greppy> ether-boy: edit /etc/resolv.conf to use the google dns servers.
[18:54] <oddtod> greppy: its the client. i get 'connection to the server timed out' The server is functional because if i were to sign in now with M$ it would work properly
[18:54] <seshagiri> @frustro: I got the same error from the ubuntu 10.10 32bit i have installed in VirtualBox, and it boots! But the yesterday it has shown more errors including you have described. And it was not starting gdm also.
 yes use php apps
 in apache connected 5 modules
 no more
[18:54] <greppy> oddtod: did you set the port correctly on the client?
[18:55] <schnuffle> staff_nowa:  okay, te problem is not apache it' that your whole setup consumes to much memory.  To install all the dependencies if i want to install an application from source??
[18:56] <Pudabudigada> Hello, how do I find out what shell I'm running?
 i think it's not good to switch to sqlite3
[18:56] <ether-boy> greppy: my resolv.conf contains just one line that says "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>". what way should i add the  google DNS servers?
 may not use innodb ?
[18:57] <JNZ> So, why was I able to upgrade to 11.04?
[18:57] <greppy> ether-boy: put "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" on the line before the existing one.
[18:57] <greppy> oddtod: are you using network manager to set this up?
[18:57] <ubuntu> I don't know if anyone cares but i found a (no biggy) typo on the installer of the live cd xD
[18:57] <schnuffle> Pudabudigada:  echo $SHELL
[18:57] <JNZ> I upgraded to 10.10 from the previous LTS and it basically broke and initramfs failed to upgrade and then it said it was doing a recovery roll-back
[18:57] <JNZ> And now it reports I'm using 11.04
[18:57] <Pudabudigada> Cheers
[18:57] <greppy> ubuntu: then post a bug report.
[18:58] <oddtod> greppy: I set up the VPN connection with the connection manager yes
[18:58] <ubuntu> k
[18:58] <JNZ> It even says "You're using 11.04 relweased in April 2011"

[18:58] <IdleOne> JNZ: that is a bug in 10.10 what does lsb_release -a say?
[18:58] <greppy> oddtod: I was never able to get that working, I installed the openvpn client from apt and configured it that way.
[18:58] <JNZ> IdleOne: 10.10, yet the upgrade to 10.10 failed and it did a roll back
[18:58] <oddtod> greppy: Ok I will set that up and report back. Thanks for your assistance
[18:58] <JNZ> is lsb release -a the guaranteed version I'm at?
[18:59] <schnuffle> staff_nowa:  your problem is that with apache procsses rising your system will start killing processes.
[18:59] <jrib> Pudabudigada: it's better to do something like: ps -p $$
[18:59] <JNZ> or is it just some indicating file somewhere?
[18:59] <ether-boy> greppy: how can i check if the updated DNS is being used?
[18:59] <induz> I have tgz file on /tmp folder How can i Install that program on Lucid
[18:59] <IdleOne> JNZ: not sure to be honest. I would assume a file.
[18:59] <jrib> induz: you avoid doing so.  What do you want to install?
 yes killing but some times get error on apache, but work
[18:59] <Pudabudigada> jrib,  what is the extra info it gives?
[18:59] <greppy> ether-boy: you may have to restart your web browser or other network software for them to see the change.
[19:00] <Delphius> or try lighttpd
[19:00] <jrib> Pudabudigada: the columns should have headings
[19:00] <oddtod> greppy: just the 'openvpn' package?
[19:00] <ether-boy> greppy: ok, i ll do that, thanks and have a nice day :)
[19:00] <Pudabudigada> Yeah, but I don't know what they all mean
 or try lighttpd it say for me ?
[19:00] <JNZ> IdleOne: Ah oh well, I can have my video card drivers now so I'm happy.
[19:00] <greppy> oddtod: yeah
[19:00] <JZandi> i have sony vaio laptop with cpu:Corei7 1.73  64bit and 6GBDRR3     which os is suitable for me?
[19:00] <jrib> Pudabudigada: why do you care?  Just look at the CMD
[19:00] <induz> jrib, its a program for yahoo acc to [email] to be download on Ubuntu
[19:00] <schnuffle> staff_nowa: hard to give you advice without knowing your setup and the apps your're runing
[19:01] <jrib> induz: yahoo doesn't provide pop or imap access?
[19:01] <greppy> oddtod: I have /etc/openvpn/client.conf, and I start and stop it using "sudo service openvpn start client" and "sudo service openvpn stop"
 i can do some command's and show information about processes
[19:01] <Pudabudigada> jrib,  The more I know, the more I can do with this thing
[19:02] <induz> jrib, is there anyway i can get yahoo email on my desktop offline
[19:02] <jrib> Pudabudigada: PID is the Process ID Number
[19:02] <JZandi> plz answer me!
[19:02] <IdleOne> jrib: I think yahoo went to paid accounts, not sure about that though
[19:02] <oddtod> greppy: thanks very useful information. I hate when things are easier to do in windows then in linux :(. this is so plug and play in windows.
[19:02] <Pudabudigada> Yup
[19:02] <kannan__> induz: evolution...
[19:02] <Pudabudigada> Sorry, spec., TTy
[19:03] <IdleOne> JZandi: Ubuntu
[19:03] <greppy> oddtod: yeah, I banged up against the network manager a few times... for wifi or just dhcp it's awesome... but... that seems to be about it's limit.
[19:03] <induz> I have USB drive and some files[.doc, .docx.exe etc] are stored on it. How can i backup those files on ubuntu/
[19:03] <ubuntu> JZandi: if your computer supports it, 64 bit as well
[19:03] <JNZ> So far Ubuntu is just pissing me off this go around.
[19:03] <induz> kannan__, I have evolution but does it support yahoo?
[19:03] <JNZ> I can't install the driver because of a "system error" regarding "installArchives() failed"
[19:04] <kannan__> induz: thro' pop3
[19:04] <oddtod> greppy: yeah this isn't the first time I have had issues with it before. I'll report back about how it goes.
[19:04] <kannan__> induz: settings are available in yahoo help pages..

[19:10] <wazz> Yep, I'm just wondering how heavy that process is for my machine
[19:10] <bluezone> so i had to send it back, defective video card
[19:11] <bluezone> and they just kept slapping the same motherboard on
[19:11] <Pudabudigada> JZandi, ThinkPads are incredible build quality and have excellent features.

[19:11] <crying> Hey guys, where can I get grub help? I've messed it up a lot!

[19:12] <Bilz> soreau, seems that when i mounted an ext3 partition the highlighting is not there
[19:12] <gsp2009> hello folks. So I recently upgraded to 2.6.35-25-generic and now 10.10 doesn't boot. In the logs, I see reference to video_register_device fail. I am using latest nvidia drivers, and am able to boot back into 2.6.35-24 with no probs. Anyone have similar issues with latest kernel?
[19:12] <Sary> !GRUB
[19:12] <bluezone> kannan02: not really lol
[19:12] <kannan02> bluezone: lol
[19:12] <illuminaris> Can anyone help me troubleshoot wow graphics issue?  Some boots go straight to terminal, others just hang.
[19:13] <JNZ> Way to go with error checking guys.
[19:13] <KM0201> JNZ: something tells me its a user malfunction
[19:13] <JNZ> KM0201: I used the automatic distribution upgrade, everything broke. It's a clean install.
[19:14] <bluezone> gsp2009: i had a very very very simmilar problem, wasted 2 days trying to solve it and now i am reformatting, i did not find a solution, it is probably a conflict with the video card drivers of nvidia (as always) you can probably boot your system in recover fail safe though
[19:14] <induz> for pop account I have to upgrade to yplus
[19:14] <Sary> illuminaris, for Ubuntu 11.04 support you can /join #ubuntu+1
[19:14] <JNZ> KM0201: But yeah, blame it on the user like pretty much everyone would. Don't be so sensitive regarding your Ubuntus possibly being at fault here.
[19:14] <gsp2009> bluezone: I just booted to the older kernel. This sux. Sorry to hear you had the same issue. Frustrating.
[19:15] <JNZ> I'm going to see if restarting and rolling back to the previous version fixes anything.
[19:15] <KM0201> JNZ: not sensitive, but i also know better
[19:15] <Sary> KM0201, :)
[19:15] <v4nelle> guys why i dont see the flags(keyboard languages) on system panel and i see only a keyboard icon?
[19:15] <v4nelle> is bug?
[19:15] <sanziana> hello guys! I'm a newbie in this Ubuntu OS, can some help me? my desktop sometimes freezes...........
[19:15] <miked595> does anyone know of a way to tie all tabs in a terminal to one input. I have tried cluster ssh but it is limited. iTerm on mac works exactly how I'd like, but I'm trying to find a linux version
[19:15] <Bizzeh> hi, why cant i choose an ubuntu download mirror to download the cd image anymore? i keep getting redirected to some rediculous mirror somewhere on the west coast of the USA when the closest mirror to me is my own ISP, virgin media
[19:15] <zakwilson> Is there currently a single generally preferred app for creating video DVDs?
[19:15] <induz> how can I backup my USB drive on Lucid??
[19:15] <JNZ> KM0201: Then you know better than to assume that an issue which has been posted repeatedly across the entire Ubuntu forums isn't "user error", especially since it's such a core system that dies after an automatic upgrade.
[19:16] <KM0201> lol..
[19:16] <bluezone> gsp2009: yep, the new kernel fixed my slow wireless, but then it broke everything else lol
[19:16] <Sary> v4nelle, Add a keyboard layout for a language.
[19:16] <androidbruce> no ubuntuone(u1) love in the room?
[19:16] <frustro> zakwilson, I like devede
[19:16] <kannan02> induz: options->mail options and then "pop and forwarding"
[19:16] <v4nelle> Sary, i do it...but i dont see the flags...
[19:17] <gsp2009> bluezone: it might be time for me to reformat anyway. This machine has seen upgrades since 8.04
[19:17] <Aleiex> hi, any way to change the names of places in menu?
[19:17] <bluezone> gsp2009: haha yeah
[19:17] <induz> kannan02, yes i did and its asking for upgrade to Plus
[19:17] <gsp2009> bluezone: what were your issues with wireless? are you using broadcom?
[19:17] <Sary> v4nelle, do you mind telling how did you do it :)
[19:17] <bluezone> gsp2009: no, intel
[19:18] <Bizzeh> the ubuntu website's download geo-location system is broken
[19:18] <bluezone> gsp2009: it was just extremely slow compared to other os's
[19:18] <frustro> Aleiex, the places in menu are favorites from the natulis file browser
[19:18] <bluezone> gsp2009: about 5 times slower
[19:18] <gsp2009> bluezone: wow... that is serious. so you are stuck with it if the new kernel doesn't boot?
[19:19] <kannan02> induz: still i'm able to access my yahoo account thro' pop somehow..
[19:19] <bluezone> gsp2009: yep
[19:19] <kannan02> induz: but i'm not a plus user
[19:19] <bluezone> gsp2009: i might end up just passing the network wire lol
[19:19] <gsp2009> bluezone: bah... sucks.
[19:20] <russjr08> Hey guys, is the Ubuntu Forums Down?
[19:20] <KM0201> russjr08: looks that way
[19:20] <frustro> seshagiri, fixed boot splash too! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[19:20] <russjr08> Aww...
[19:20] <induz> kancerman, have u heard of Zimbra
[19:21] <frustro> seshagiri, even if no nvidia, it shows how to fix the boot splash animation
[19:21] <gsp2009> bluezone: you seen this? http://www.overclock.net/linux-unix/368589-solved-slow-wireless-speeds-ubuntu-but.html
[19:21] <tatastha-sakti> hey
[19:21] <bluezone> gsp2009: no sec
[19:21] <craigbass1976> Anyone have an (I think) ipod mini?  It's about 3/4 inches wide, and 2" long.  Seems to mount up ok, but what else are you supposed to be able to do with it as far as apple goes?  I'm used to just a regular mp3 player.
[19:22] <creature_> hey  guys i dont know if this is the right place to be asking but im trying to get wine to run a couple of programs and im having no luck
[19:22] <nunojpg> is it suppose for "make install" without any root/sudo privileges to be able o install files under /usr/local/bin ?
[19:22] <greppy> nunojpg: no
[19:23] <Median> Going on Linux again makes all my knowledge of Windows useless again.. Ubuntu requires so much more configuration for most things. But meh, i'm learning.
[19:23] <rodeur_> bonsoir
[19:23] <rodeur_> hi everybody
[19:24] <Sary> creature_, have you tried in #winehq.
[19:24] <seshagiri> @frustro: let me check..
[19:24] <bluezone> gsp2009: lol that is the exact same card i have, i must try this haha thanks
[19:24] <zakwilson> Median: I have not found that Ubuntu requires more configuration in most cases than Windows. It does, however *allow* more configuration.
[19:25] <gsp2009> bluezone: good luck! I hope something works!
[19:25] <creature_> thanks sary
[19:25] <Median> zakwilson: Well, guess i'm not used to typing so much ;)
[19:25] <gsp2009> bluezone: also, there is a known bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/621265
[19:25] <Median> AS i'm missing a GUI in most cases.
[19:25] <Sary> Median, Welcome to freedom :) , but it's GNU/Linux , not Linux!
[19:25] <Fuma> zakwilson, I can right click on my desktop on Windows and select "extended desktop" to use two displays. Ubuntu doesn't have that :p
[19:25] <Median> Sary :)
[19:26] <Dr_Willis> Sary:  how about Linux/Gnu.....
[19:26] <KM0201> Sary: how bout just Linux?... same thing more or less
[19:26] <SUN_> Does anyone know why my Unity Panel wont load, but the dock launcher will?
[19:26] <Dr_Willis> I think pretty much its just called 'linux' these days.. :0
[19:26] <Median> Sary: But i'm atm just using Ubuntu for my server, 2 years since i've used it last on my desktop computer, though i used Linux Mint briefly some months ago.
[19:27] <Sary> Dr_Willis, KM0201  :) , you guys wana go there!
[19:27] <KM0201> Sary: u did first :)
[19:27] <Sary> lol
[19:27] <zakwilson> Median: Ahh... server. Yes, server stuff tends to be very text-oriented.
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> Sary:  take it to the forums/blogs.. pretty much  no one cares to use awkward names.
[19:29] <zakwilson> Fuma: I can click Preferences>Monitors and do pretty much the same thing. I haven't tried using two monitors on Windows though, so I can't compare.
[19:29] <donvito> how to restart my interfaces?
[19:29] <detrix42> anyone here use Oracle database with ubuntu?
[19:29] <Median> zakwilson: Noticed. Took me some hours figuring out how to do the remote desktop without being logged in to the computer, then i needed to get the FTP up, the MySQL server etc. Took a while, especially for me not being used to it.
[19:30] <gsp2009> hey bluezone, got an easier fix for you.
[19:30] <detrix42> I am taking a class and want to use ubuntu with Oracle.
[19:30] <induz> is there any backup s/w on Lucid??
[19:30] <crying> bluezone: Try #grub
[19:30] <zakwilson> Median: most people don't use a GUI at all on their *nix servers.
[19:30] <greppy> induz: apt-cache search backup
[19:30] <ddr400> i am using kvirc, how can i disable the notifications of people coming in and out of the channel?
[19:30] <bluezone> YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
[19:30] <greppy> induz: there is loads of different backup software out there.
[19:30] <Sary> Dr_Willis, np at all , it's nice seeing you , and you KM0201 :)
[19:30] <bluezone> installer failed, AGAIN
[19:30] <ddr400> hi bluezone
[19:30] <bluezone> ffs
[19:30] <bluezone> hi
[19:30] <FloodBot1> bluezone: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:30] <Median> zakwilson: Nah, but i chose to install GNOME on my Ubuntu server edition.
[19:31] <ddr400> i think that ndiswrapper didnt work
[19:31] <bluezone> nope
[19:31] <bluezone> lol
[19:31] <ddr400> i read that driver is fine but no support for wpa/wep
[19:31] <Fuma> zakwilson, well. I click Preferences > Monitors and I see only one display, even though I have two :/
[19:31] <ddr400> so useless xd

[19:31] <gsp2009> bluezone: so if you are using nvidia proprietary, you can remove the drivers, then reboot to new kernel, then reinstall nvidia
[19:32] <gsp2009> bluezone: that may help with you wireless
[19:32] <bluezone> too late the installer decided to format and then fail
[19:32] <ddr400> i dont get the connection between video driver and wireless..
[19:32] <greppy> induz: man cp
[19:33] <zakwilson> Fuma: Then something's buggy. Can't help you there.
[19:33] <induz> greppy, what is that???
[19:34] <KM0201> !man | induz
[19:34] <JZandi> is the dell  laptop make throuble for user       such as damaging hard video garphic kard?
[19:34] <greppy> induz: cp is the copy command, man cp will give you the manual page for it, from a terminal.
[19:34] <mody> hello
[19:34] <Fuma> zakwilson, or just ubuntu is worse that windows! :P
[19:34] <SUN_> i have a question about Unity 2D using Qt that just got a PPA...my panel wont load only the launcher...so i have a standard gnome panel running but the unity panel wont load over it. any ideas why?
[19:34] <bluezone> whoever is interested, for laughs, : http://img210.imageshack.us/i/screenshotmqz.png/
[19:34] <Windowed> wow... I'm almost ready to give up on my old omnibook and admit that at least XP was running on it.. :(
[19:35] <Travis-42> When I plug in my camera, it shows up in nautilus as gphoto2:// something or other. I want to access it like a drive from the command line. how do I do this?
[19:35] <rololololo> hi
[19:35] <mody> hi rol
[19:35] <crying> Travis-42: A very good way is to open a file of this folder with firefox, in the link it will show the full link
[19:36] <Sary> JZandi, what you mean?
[19:36] <KM0201> Blue1: hmm, wonder what happpened there
[19:36] <frustro> bluezone, lol, had same issue last night, had to use an alt distro download to install.
[19:36] <nunojpg> greppy: this is 10.10, with all updates, and packages "mercurial libqrencode3 libpam0g-dev" installed
[19:36] <KM0201> bluezone: have you considered the alt. install cd?
[19:36] <KM0201> or maybe the ISO is bad
[19:36] <JZandi> i want to know you believ about dell laptop
[19:36] <oddtod> greppy: no dice it says 'ok' but never connects :( I am going to try and do it through CLI. I changed 'dev tap' to 'dev br0' is this correct or should it be tap
[19:37] <midi> I have an external hard drive on my 2nd laptop(ubunto os), and i want to know if I can share it on network with other ubuntu
[19:37] <bluezone> KM0201: the what?
[19:37] <nunojpg> greppy: /usr/local/bin: drwxr-xr-x
[19:37] <nunojpg> greppy: looks a serious issue
[19:37] <KM0201> !alternate | bluezone when you have some troublesome installs...
[19:37] <BluesKaj> Fuma, fyi , the media players in linux can play anything that windows can and then some . Maybe you're missing the latest codec updates. Make sure you have ubuntu-restricted extras installed and libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repos
[19:37] <oddtod> midi: you can use NFS or Samba to accomplish this.
[19:38] <flazzid> is there anyone that can help me with the fixed channel -1 on a ar5001 ath
[19:38] <drew212> how do i check what packages a certain PPA contains? preferably using the terminal
[19:38] <JZandi> plz answer me!
[19:38] <frustro> bluezone, had same issue, i d/l 2 of the standard GUI install iso and both gave errors. the alt distro worked great
[19:38] <midi> oddtod, I use samba, but still cant see it on the other laptop
[19:38] <greppy> oddtod: tap
[19:39] <Dr_Willis> midi:  what os is on the other laptop?
[19:39] <KM0201> bluezone: i've found i prefer the alt. cd for installing... if i need to test hardware, live cd is good
[19:39] <midi> oddtod: ubuntu 10.10 also
[19:39] <Sary> JZandi, Ok , but believe in what .. about (Dell)
[19:39] <induz> how can I install Zimbra??
[19:39] <nurv> how do i unpack or extract a tar.lzma?
[19:40] <eXpL0d> how can i run .net dependent apps through wine?
[19:40] <Dr_Willis> midi:  for linux to linux, you could use ssh/scp/sshfs, or nfs.  nfs would be faster.. and is not too hard to setup. but its not an 'on the fly' type shareing like samba is.
[19:40] <jetscreamer> what's the savedefault equiv in grub2, or grub-pc the package seems to be named... aka how do you set the default os to boot with grub
[19:40] <jrib> nurv: you can probably double click on it.  Or pass --lzma if you prefer command line
[19:40] <jetscreamer> apt-cache search lzma
[19:40] <Dr_Willis> jetscreamer:  the grub2 guides/wiki pages mention that setting. - check http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2 for  my list of grub2 links
[19:40] <jetscreamer> thanks
[19:40] <nurv> jrib: oh k ty
[19:41] <drew212> how do i check what pacages a PPA contains? preferably using the terminal
[19:41] <drew212> packages*
[19:41] <Travis-42> crying, that tells me that it's mounted under ~/.gvfs -- but I need to be able to use tools like dd on the device
[19:41] <bluezone> i am still disgusted because this worked last time xD
[19:41] <Dr_Willis> jetscreamer:  check the /etc/default/grub config - i think you enable the 'saved' option and you can use some command to set the default
[19:41] <Mike1> i thought the Shift-Key during booting should display the Grub-Menu in newer Ubuntus?
[19:41] <greppy> oddtod: http://paste.lopsa.org/74
[19:41] <Dr_Willis> Mike1:  i always set grub to never hide. :) its shift i recall. if you hit it at the right time
[19:41] <laptop> l
[19:42] <Otani> I am trying to get ubuntu running with dual display. I have 2 radeon hd 5770 cards. I have installed the proprietary driver. I have my 24" LCD hooked to the primary card, via dvi. I have a 40" HDTV hooked to the secondary card via HDMI. Only the LCD works.
[19:42] <Mike1> i somehow set a wrong password during installation and now i need root access to change it
[19:42] <ZykoticK9> Mike1, it does - if you are using Grub2 -- try holding fist down
[19:42] <greppy> oddtod: that's a slightly sanitized copy of my client.conf on my laptop
[19:42] <crying> Travis-42: cd ~/.gvfs and then run whatever you want?
[19:42] <Mike1> ZykoticK9: fist?
[19:42] <KM0201> bluezone: crap just happens sometimes.. but i'd say if it's failed twice, something is not co-operating
[19:42] <Dr_Willis> Mike1:  a live cd/single user mode would let you change it.
[19:42] <Fuma> bluezone, huh? I have no problems with media playback. I have problems with dual monitor setup. That is. ubuntu doesn't see my other monitor.
[19:42] <midi> Dr_Willis: so i have to use samba, i made my own configuration on samba, created a network "MIDIGROUP" on one laptop i can access the file that i shared, "desktop" folder, but i cant access the external hard drive.
[19:42] <ZykoticK9> Mike1, sorry - shift
[19:42] <Mike1> Dr_Willis: live cd is a good idea
[19:42] <KM0201> Fuma: what is your graphics device?
[19:42] <bluezone> Fuma: i was not talking about media playback
[19:42] <Otani> When I go into catalyst control panel and enable the second monitor, it tells me to reboot. when i do, and ubuntu comes back up, both screens go black.
[19:42] <Fuma> bluezone, sorry. That was meant for BluesKaj
[19:43] <KM0201> Fuma: do you have your graphics driver installed?   Dual screens w/ Nvidia is easy
[19:43] <Travis-42> crying, when I try dd on the .gvfs directory it tells me, "is a directory" and doesn't work
[19:43] <Fuma> KM0201, nvidia 8800 GT, with the nvidia drivers.
[19:43] <KM0201> Fuma: have you tried setting it in Nvidia-settings?
[19:43] <frustro> bluezone, my error was @94% with ubiquity, 2x on different gui install iso, installed first time with alt
[19:44] <BluesKaj> Fuma, ok sorry, I thought you were still having playback probs , my mistake
[19:44] <crying> Travis-42: Don't know sorry.
[19:44] <frustro> fuma gksudo nvidia-settings
[19:44] <Fuma> KM0201, yeah..... I think I can get it to work now. I was looking at the wrong tab. Now I see I have the screen disabled in X Display Configuration
[19:44] <KM0201> Fuma: yeah, you have to set it in nvidia-settings
[19:45] <Travis-42> Anyone know how to make a gvfs mounted usb camera accessible to programs like dd and scalpel? I need to be able to mount the camera as a drive
[19:45] <detrix42> anyone here use Oracle database with ubuntu?
[19:45] <jrib> Travis-42: well isn't mounted as a subdirectory of ~/.gvfs?
[19:45] <detrix42> I am taking a class and want to use ubuntu with Oracle.
[19:45] <go^> hi!
[19:45] <Travis-42> jrib, yes, but "dd if=~/.gvfs/gphoto2\ mount\ on\ usb%3A003\,013/ of=~/Desktop/recover/sd.out" doesn't work
[19:45] <oddtod> greppy: thank you I am going to try it again now.
[19:46] <jrib> Travis-42: "doesn't work" is too vague
[19:46] <Travis-42> jrib, it gives the error "is a directory"
[19:46] <jrib> Travis-42: yes
[19:46] <BluesKaj> Travis-42, instasll v4l2 , it should show up as /dev/video0 in mplayer
[19:46] <jrib> Travis-42: because it is...
[19:46] <Fuma> KM0201, thank you very much for the info though! It works. I think :)
[19:46] <Travis-42> jrib, right, so I need to know how to get dd to work on it --
[19:46] <jrib> Travis-42: what do you want to accomplish in the end?
[19:46] <Travis-42> thanks BluesKaj, I'll try that
[19:46] <Travis-42> jrib, I need to recover deleted files from the sd card
[19:47] <KM0201> Fuma: it should... if you want to save the settings to be like that when you boot.... run gksudo nvidia-settings   set it up, then clcik "Save to X configuration file"
[19:47] <Otani> I am trying to get ubuntu running with dual display. I have 2 radeon hd 5770 cards. I have installed the proprietary driver. I have my 24" LCD hooked to the primary card, via dvi. I have a 40" HDTV hooked to the secondary card via HDMI. Only the LCD works. When I go into catalyst control panel and enable the second monitor, it tells me to reboot. when i do, and ubuntu comes back up, both screens go black.
[19:47] <jrib> Travis-42: you can't find the corresponding block device for the sd card?
[19:47] <Travis-42> BluesKaj, it's not a video player, it's a regular digital camera, does that matter?
[19:47] <Travis-42> jrib, I'm not sure how?
[19:48] <jrib> Travis-42: well do you get a new /dev/sd* when you plug it in?
[19:48] <jetscreamer> !randr
[19:48] <BluesKaj> Travis-42, depends on the file type you're trying to copy
[19:48] <zubin71> is there anyway i could get a list of every ubuntu package which is written in C?
[19:48] <frustro> Travis-42, if you have access to a win box, this ROX for SD card recovery. I use it to get stuff all the time. http://www.pcinspector.de/default.htm
[19:49]  * BluesKaj better take a break..not reading properly
[19:49] <Travis-42> jrib, doesn't appear so
[19:49] <jrib> Travis-42: what does dmesg say right after you plug it in?
[19:49] <Travis-42> frustro, I'll try that. I have windows running in virtualbox. I imagine it'll work through there
[19:50] <Travis-42> jrib: "usb 3-2.2.1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 15"
[19:50] <jrib> Travis-42: and nothing else?
[19:50] <Travis-42> nothing else

[19:52] <KM0201> bluezone: why not just download the alt.cd  it's easy
[19:53] <bluezone> KM0201: yah i am, but for some reason i don't think it will work :(
[19:53] <KM0201> bluezone: i believe it will. .. :)
[19:53] <vlt> Hello. What's wrong with that command when run on Ubuntu? "nc -nvq0 -lp 9999"
[19:54] <frustro> bluezone, I agree with KM0201
[19:54] <p0p5tar> Helloo
[19:54] <ZykoticK9> jrib, do you know what ubuntu version(s) have that /usr/share/example-content/Experience ubuntu.ogg file?  Doesn't seem to be on 10.04.1.
[19:54] <KM0201> ZykoticK9: its on the live cd
[19:54] <bluezone> frustro, KM0201, lets hope lol
[19:54] <ZykoticK9> KM0201, 10.04 LiveCD?
[19:54] <KM0201> ZykoticK9: wait, sorry...
[19:55] <KM0201> i was thinking of the wrong thing
[19:55] <hasenj> I rebooted today (for the first since a while) and now my screen is all messed up (I'm using another machine right now)
[19:55] <hasenj> any pointers?
[19:55] <eXpLoD> whcih version of ubuntu is better,10.04 LTS or 10.10?
[19:55] <frustro> bluezone, i went through 4 attempts...same problem. alt first try.
[19:56] <bluezone> kay
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> eXpLoD:  depends on your needs
[19:56] <eXpLoD> can anybody tell me how to join an IRC channel through pidgin?
[19:56]  * Otani bashes head into desk.
[19:56] <ZykoticK9> KM0201, ya, there doesn't seem to be any ogg files on the 10.04 LiveCD?  Oh well - I was just curious (certainly not a real issue)
[19:57] <huang> f
[19:57] <KM0201> ZykoticK9: i believe there is on 10.10 live cd... but previous versions, on the live cd, there was a file in the examples folder, that told you how to say ubuntu
[19:57] <huang> 有中文的吗？
[19:57] <Him> Hi all. How might I install the montecarlo font?
[19:57] <acovrig> I accidentally chowned /var/run, if I restart, will that fix it?

[19:58] <NixGeek> woops, wrong one
[19:58] <NixGeek> !cn | huang
[19:59] <Otani> I am trying to get ubuntu running with dual display. I have 2 radeon hd 5770 cards. I have installed the proprietary driver. I have my 24" LCD hooked to the primary card, via dvi. I have a 40" HDTV hooked to the secondary card via HDMI. Only the LCD works. When I go into catalyst control panel and enable the second monitor, it tells me to reboot. when i do, and ubuntu comes back up, both screens go black. Can anyone help?
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> Him:  check the package manager search tools for it? if you download it from somewhere. you can copy it to your users .fonts directory
[19:59] <pradeep> heard the is inSSIDer scans on linux
[19:59] <eXpLoD> what package managers are out there?I only know about apt-get and synaptic,I prefer the GUI ones tho
[20:00] <sanziana> is there anyway I can make transmission start at startup minimized?
[20:00] <frustro> Otani, which is your primary display?
[20:00] <Otani> the 24" lcd
[20:00] <nits_hunter> sanziana:
[20:00] <acovrig> eXpLoD: aptitude is a cmd-line gui one that I like well
[20:00] <sanziana> yes nits_hunter?
[20:00] <Otani> the lcd is 1920x1200, the hdtv is 1920x1080 (60hz)
[20:01] <eXpLoD> I have aptitude too,but it's nicer when I have a GUI
[20:01] <nits_hunter> sanziana: system->Preferences->Startup Applications    Add transmission&
[20:01] <frustro> Otani, both work as primary if you only select one?
[20:01] <acovrig> I accidentally chowned /var/run, if I restart, will that fix it?
[20:01] <frustro> acovrig, no
[20:01] <nits_hunter> sanziana: the new-entry's command should read transmission&
[20:01] <Buttons840> i'm trying to record a internet stream; i have jackd running, but the internet stream will not work while jackd is running -- can alsa not play sound without having hw:0 (which is currently claimed by jackd)  -- also, is there a tutorial about all this anywhere, i'm just trying different things without really understanding
[20:02] <acovrig> frustro: do you know how I can fix it?
[20:02] <sanziana> so the "&" is for apps to go minimized?
[20:03] <Otani> frustro, the hdtv doesnt show up in catalyst. it shows the second card as grey. if i turn on multi-display, it still doesnt detect the hdtv. the hdtv doesnt get a signal. and catalyst assigns the new, unknown display to 640x480
[20:03] <nits_hunter> sanziana: it's for the apps to run in background
[20:03] <Buttons840> how can i tell whethere i'm using alsa or pulseaudio to play the sound im' hearing?
[20:03] <sanziana> okay, thank you!
[20:03] <midi> i made my own configuration on samba, created a network "MIDIGROUP" on one laptop i can access the file that i shared, "desktop" folder, but i cant access the external hard drive.
[20:03] <brown_boar> pulse audio delivers sound in pulses
[20:03] <nits_hunter> sanziana: no problem, try it and let us know if that works :)
[20:03] <brown_boar> did you try listening for that
[20:04] <frustro> acovrig, sudo chown roor /var/run
[20:04] <Otani> frustro, perhaps it has issues detecting the second card?
[20:05] <frustro> Otani, correct. 11.1 is comming soon.
[20:05] <frustro> acovrig, sudo chown root /var/run <- user name fix
[20:05] <Otani> frustro,  in "Display Manager" it shows the first device as "[Sceptre X24WG] ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series"
[20:05] <Otani> the second one says "[Unknown Display] Unknown adapter"
[20:05] <frustro> Otani, have you tried the 40" on the working adapter?
[20:06] <Otani> no. but i know for a fact it works as a display. i use it in windows as a secondary display
[20:06] <acovrig> frustro: I did that, and I guess it isn't too much of an issue bc I can always chown <user> for the individual stuff, but I got a 'screen' error bc <user> didn't own /var/run/screen/S-<user>
[20:07] <Otani> frustro, but catalyst is basicly saying that the second radeon hd 5770 is an "unknown adapter"
[20:07] <eXpLoD> are there any gui pacakage managers except synaptic?
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> eXpLoD:  kde has one,
[20:08] <frustro> acovrig, there is always sudo chown -R root /var/run, but that can be tricky.... -R means this folder, all it's files and everything after...
[20:08] <hasenj> hey, how to make the grub screen show up when I login? I need to do it from the command line
[20:08] <frustro> I would copy the dir with sudo to a safe place before trying that.
[20:09] <zaya> hwo i am where i am
[20:09] <frustro> Otani, see if you can find a 11.1 catalyst beta..
[20:09] <nits_hunter> hasenj: u mean wen u boot? set the grub_timeout to a higher number of secs https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[20:10] <zaya> как пообщаться с русскоговорящими людьми?
[20:10] <frustro> !ru | zaya

[20:10] <Sary> KM0201, please raise your hand if you can see my voice :D , mind if i PM !
[20:11] <KM0201> sardonyx: sure if you like
[20:11] <KM0201> Sary: sure if you like
[20:11] <acovrig> frustro: I know, that's what I accidentally did; it was supposed to be /var/run/more/files, but the more/files got lost in the cmd-line
[20:11] <brown_boar> Otani that might be your AUDIO
[20:11] <frustro> acovrig, ouch
[20:12] <brown_boar> for the record my AUDIO does show my my 5770
[20:12] <KM0201> Sary: ?...
[20:12] <glaceman> hi there
[20:12] <KM0201> glaceman: yo  o/
[20:13] <glaceman> KM0201: hi there ;)
[20:13] <Otani> does ati even have a beta section?
[20:13] <PoppaVic> OK. This may sound silly: Any recommendations for something to snapshot the working lappy to dvd, which can be later loaded, run and reinstall the State-Of-The-Union to that snapshot time?
[20:13] <glaceman> ok here's the deal, i have a usb wich i can plug a video, dvd, camera, etc....now any software for that for ubuntu ?
[20:13]  * Sary KM0201, Thanks , how you doing friend , i waved at you with a smile first time i saw your Nickname because you we're busy :)
[20:13] <PoppaVic> (everything is working so well, I'm getting paranoid)
[20:13] <brown_boar> KM0201, did you try using proprietary yet
[20:13] <KM0201> brown_boar: proprietary what?
[20:14] <glaceman> i want to record stuffs into my laptop
[20:14] <glaceman> via usb
[20:15] <nits_hunter> glaceman: u should be able to browse through the usb stuff manually just as you browse your thumb-drive
[20:15] <samd>  hi, is there anyway to know which buses architectures are running on my pc? /proc/bus/ lists 'input', 'pci' and 'usb', but as far as i know, i can only recognize pci as a bus, is that the only bus architecture my computer is running?
[20:15] <KM0201> !recordmydesktop | glaceman
[20:15] <glaceman> nits_hunter: no i can't it's not a regular flash drive, it's just a usb with an extension for tv cable, and RCA cables, i want a software to read the input from it
[20:15] <PoppaVic> glaceman:  some devices are going to require some form of prorietary "reader" sw, but so far, ubuntu has decided to see all my usb stuff
[20:15] <KM0201> woops
[20:15] <KM0201> !info recordmydesktop | glaceman
[20:16] <PoppaVic> hahah
[20:16] <glaceman> ubottu: that's not what im taling about hehe :P
[20:16]  * KM0201 knew he would get it eventually...lol
[20:16] <PoppaVic> KM0201:  software for every silly porpoise ;-)
[20:16] <Sary> there is also Xvidcap.
[20:16] <KM0201> PoppaVic: of course :)
[20:17] <nits_hunter> samd: something like lspci ? is that what u are looking for?
[20:17] <PoppaVic> Meanwhile - any recommendations for a hdd snapshot-to-boot-and-reinstall?
[20:17] <nits_hunter> glaceman: sorry man no idea, noob here :P
[20:17] <glaceman> how can i list the usb devices
[20:17] <KM0201> PoppaVic: what do you mean a snapshot... like when you reboot, it reinstalls all the packages you currently have?
[20:17] <frustro> damn. I've almost got this trs-80 model 100 to my ubuntu server via serial console working.
[20:17] <nits_hunter> glaceman: lsusb
[20:17] <detrix42> I am taking a class and want to use ubuntu with Oracle.
[20:18]  * Otani bashes head into desk.
[20:18] <detrix42> anyone here use Oracle database with ubuntu?
[20:18] <PoppaVic> I got 10.10 so nicely tweaked and updated/graded, I want to get that sucker to dvd - so I can at least boot that and reinstall to Today ;-)
[20:18] <samd> nits_hunter, well, lspci will list all devices attachec to to pci, i want to know if there is another "bus" aparts from pci in which devices are connected to
[20:18] <Otani> i REALLY wanna move from windows to linux... but if i cant get dual display working, it isnt happening.
[20:18] <frustro> samd, lsusb?
[20:18] <Gnea> Otani: nvidia or ati?
[20:18] <Otani> Gnea, ati.
[20:18] <nits_hunter> samd: lolz that's the extent of my knowledge, sorry, quite a noob here :P
[20:19] <brown_boar> you mean crossfire?
[20:19] <samd> nits_hunter, allright, no problem, thank you anyway
[20:19] <brown_boar> or two monitors?
[20:19] <Gnea> Otani: Not sure if that's gonna fly, nvidia has proper support for dual+ heads. Which model is it?
[20:19] <Otani> i have 2x 5770
[20:19] <KM0201> PoppaVic: you can use clonezilla to clone your ubuntu partition.. but.. beyond that, i don't know.
[20:19] <PoppaVic> KM0201:  something runs - it bit-copies the whole of in-use lappy hdd. It lets me write that to a dvd with enough extra to boot it for reinstall back, or livecd - I ain't picky, just paranoid.
[20:19] <samd> frustro, thanks
[20:20] <Gnea> !ati
[20:20] <Gnea> let's take a look...
[20:20] <Otani> Gnea, as I told frustro, I think its an issue with ubuntu not detecting the second card.
[20:20] <eXpLoD> are the "* for dummies"books any good?
[20:20] <KM0201> !clone
[20:20] <pradeep> Otani,  what do you mean by it is not working
[20:20] <frustro> brown_boar, dual cards, one 24" and one 40" the 24" is the primary, secondary card is not reconized
[20:20] <Gnea> Otani: some things just aren't as automatic as they are with windows.
[20:20] <Otani> in catalyst, under display management, the first display says "[Sceptre X24WG] Ati Radeon HD 5700 Series"
[20:20] <Gnea> Otani: that doesn't mean they can't be done.
[20:21] <PoppaVic> KM0201:  yeah.. Got the url up in the other workspace. Reading that, Partimage and remastersys
[20:21] <Gnea> Otani: are they both pci-e?
[20:21] <KM0201> hnmm
[20:21] <nits_hunter> eXpLoD: some are, but the best thing to learn linux from is at linuxcommand.org
[20:21] <Otani> the second one says "[Unknown Display] Unknown Adapter"
[20:21] <Him> All right, I'm confined to a terminal right now. Supposing I have a font in my personal .fonts directory, how do I install that font, what commands do I use?
[20:21] <Otani> both are pci-e
[20:21] <Gnea> Otani: just curious why you didn't get a dual-head display card in the first place
[20:22] <PoppaVic> KM0201:  I'm working on the premise that I've tons of settings - not to mention source I am working on - that I want back - all of it - in case the universe ends
[20:22] <Otani> these cards are dual head. tri-head actually. 2 dvi + hdmi
[20:22] <eXpLoD> can anybody tell me all the available package managers?
[20:22] <KM0201> PoppaVic: only way i know to do that, is clonezilla, but i could be wrong.
[20:22] <Otani> but i want to use the cards independently. otherwise, why have 2 in linux? not a whole lot of use for crossfire
[20:23] <PoppaVic> KM0201:  np - that's advice, and it's what I asked for. Thanks. Back to reading ;-)
[20:23] <Gnea> Otani: okay, that makes sense. my suggestion would be to get one card working with dual display and go from there
[20:23] <Gnea> Otani: also, are you on 10.04 or 10.10?
[20:24] <Otani> 10.04
[20:24] <Otani> i just hooked the hdmi to the first video card
[20:24] <brown_boar> try 10.10
[20:24] <Otani> its now outputing to both
[20:24] <Gnea> Otani: nice option
[20:24] <brown_boar> 5770 might of been to new for 10.04
[20:24] <Gnea> 10.10 is too new and full of problems
[20:24] <brown_boar> how so
[20:25] <Gnea> brown_boar: and it's "might have", not "might of"
[20:25] <Gnea> you're thinking "might've"
[20:25] <Otani> so, the hdmi is working on the card that the lcd is hooked to. it is mirrored.
[20:25] <eXpLoD> can anybody tell me how to join an IRC channel through pidgin?
[20:25] <Gnea> awesome
[20:25] <Otani> but as i said, i want to use both cards. one for each display
[20:25] <Azareth> does anyone here use linsys routers with tomato firmware?
[20:25] <brown_boar> Gnea, i don't care now.
[20:26] <brown_boar> good job now you further ruined my chances of ever recovering
[20:26] <Gnea> brown_boar: recovering from what?
[20:26] <glaceman> what's the best tool to record desktop activity ?
[20:26] <brown_boar> doesn't matter. the what is in the pain everyone has come to know.
[20:27] <glaceman> wich include various options
[20:27] <bcj> How do I find what process is accessing a file?
[20:27] <brown_boar> Desktop Recorder in 10.10 is nice
[20:27] <glaceman> brown_boar: thanks
[20:27] <brown_boar> it also has a good looking icon
[20:27] <Otani> its still showing my other ati card as an unknown adapter
[20:27] <Gnea> brown_boar: sorry, not my fault. take some ownership of your own problem and leave it out of the channel, thanks.
[20:28] <SwedeMike> bj0: lsof shows open file descriptors.
[20:28] <SwedeMike> I mean bcj
[20:28] <bcj> SwedeMike: Cheers

[20:33] <akav> Anyone have some wisdom to share on how to deal with a laptop that wakes from sleep periodically with a black screen? I've had to force-shutdown due to this quite a few times now.
[20:33] <brown_boar> Can ubuntu do any encryptions beyond the government know how to break?
[20:33] <glaceman> man
[20:33] <glaceman> ubunt is freezing
[20:33] <glaceman> why ?
[20:33] <beige> guntburt, I bet the "no polls" rule is to stop certain users (fan bois) trying to start an OS war in the channel
[20:33] <glaceman> i can't click with my mouse now
[20:33] <FloodBot1> glaceman: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:33] <kane77> is there a way to convert ntfs to ext directly?
[20:33] <ZykoticK9> brown_boar, with enough computer power - any encryption can be broken ;)  Question is OT here though.
[20:33] <JackyAlcine> kane77: No,
[20:33] <opengeard> kane77: rsync?
[20:33] <beige> convert as in keep the files on the disk?
[20:33] <glaceman> ok back to normal now, why does ubuntnu freeze sometimes
[20:34] <brown_boar> Zykotic that doesn't make sense. you mine as well say an omniscient being could break the encryption, so why bother?
[20:34] <Gnea> kane77: no, you'd have to copy all of the files to another device, reformat, then copy them back... oh, and then you'd have to fix permissions on them
[20:34] <KM0201> glaceman: well... are you doing anything in particular when it freezes?
[20:34] <brown_boar> we are fighting against humans, in a time of computers that aren't powerful enough to break encryption
[20:34] <kane77> beige, yes, its large disk and I have no space to put my files to..
[20:34] <glaceman> KM0201: nope, just chatting or something like that, and suddenly i want to click somewhere with my mouse, and it freezes
[20:34] <nerdy_kid> brown_boar: try truecrypt
[20:34] <kane77> Gnea, well that's the problem, I don't have enough space elsewhere so I hoped an in-place method would exist
[20:35] <KM0201> glaceman: the whole destkop freezes, or you can move the mouse, and you just can't click anything
[20:35] <brown_boar> truecrypt doesn't adhere to any laws does it? like i can use encryptions that the government won't get mad about?
[20:35] <Gnea> kane77: well, you could use samba to access it
[20:35] <glaceman> i can't click anything, keyboard shortcuts does work, and the mouse move
[20:35] <KM0201> glaceman: ok.. question, are you using a mouse w/ a laptop?
[20:35] <glaceman> no
[20:35] <glaceman> KM0201: external mouse
[20:35] <Gnea> glaceman: can you use the keyboard?
[20:35] <KM0201> glaceman: i understand that.. but are you using the external mouse, on a laptop
[20:36] <glaceman> yes i can use the keyboard
[20:36] <nerdy_kid> brown_boar: idk, you would probably have to research laws on encryption.
[20:36] <glaceman> KM0201: right
[20:36] <glaceman> maybe it's time i change my mouse ?
[20:36] <share> maybe
[20:36] <Gnea> glaceman: does it do this everytime you boot?
[20:36] <KM0201> glaceman: whent his has happened to me(it happens every so often)... i use my touchpad, to clcik a window, and then my mouse works again.. have no idea what causes it
[20:36] <glaceman> Gnea: no, randomly, once in a time
[20:37] <morgan> anyone else having trouble seeding with rtorrent?
[20:37] <Gnea> glaceman: okay, and did you say it's a desktop or laptop?
[20:37] <glaceman> Gnea: laptop but using external mouse
[20:37] <Gnea> glaceman: what about if you disconnect it and use the onboard mouse? same thing?
[20:38] <precubcr> hel ppls
[20:38] <chrome_> With iptables, is it possible to send all requests generated from a certain intern ip to other ip?
[20:38] <glaceman> Gnea: i didn't try when it happened
[20:38] <precubcr> how do i compress a rar or other file in parts ?
[20:38] <precubcr> kubuntu 10.10
[20:38] <Gnea> glaceman: try it now and see what happens
[20:38] <glaceman> Gnea: it got back to normal activity now
[20:38] <glaceman> not freezing anymore
[20:39] <precubcr> how do i compress a file in more parts in kubuntu 10.10 pls ¿?
[20:39] <glaceman> what's better, firefox or chromium ?
[20:39] <Gnea> glaceman: hm okay
[20:39] <Gnea> glaceman: heh, both are good, but I go with chromium these days simply because FF is a memory hog
[20:39] <glaceman> ff is memory hog ? can u explain please
[20:40] <Gnea> when I kill a tab, that memory needs to go back to the system, not remain with the application
[20:40] <glaceman> Gnea: i got it
[20:40] <glaceman> firefox, lol i was wondering what the FF was :P
[20:40] <glaceman> stupid hehe
[20:40] <nerdy_kid> anyone else getting a proxy error when trying to comment/start a new thread on ubuntuforums?
[20:40] <Gnea> yeah hehe
[20:41] <glaceman> Gnea: anything similar to an extension called "download helper" for chromium, so i can grab audio and videos
[20:41] <Gnea> glaceman: don't really need it
[20:42] <opengeard> beware advised of chromium extensions, they consume 25 to 50M each
[20:42] <KM0201> opengeard: 25-60mb each?... i dunno
[20:43] <opengeard> Right click title bar, Task Manager.
[20:44] <kcorcoran> i added a firewire card to my computer, running ubuntu 10.10 - can someone tell me how to check if the card was recognized or what steps i need to follow to properly install/verify the card is working?
[20:44] <Gnea> opengeard: are you sure it's not a shared memory segment?
[20:44] <opengeard> Chromium was just reported 828,620 private, 94,668 proportional
[20:44] <Azareth> how can I check whether my router allows me to use port 25?
[20:45] <glaceman> Azareth: port 25 is for smtp
[20:45] <glaceman> Azareth: try to telnet
[20:45] <guntbert> Azareth: outbound or inbound?
[20:45] <glaceman> Azareth: outbond
[20:45] <Azareth> the truth is that I am trying to setup mail server
[20:46] <glaceman> Azareth: what operating system are u on ?
[20:46] <Azareth> I use postfix but in the log I see "connection timed out"
[20:46] <Gnea> Azareth: much of that will depend on whether or not your isp filters port 25 or not
[20:46] <Azareth> glaceman : windows the postfix on ubuntu on VM
[20:46] <glaceman> Azareth: i can help u with windows stuffs, not ubuntu sorry, im still a new to this environement
[20:46] <rs_sb> Hello. Does someone know which tool has this interface? http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5786/asd1p.jpg

[20:48] <KM0201> !netsplit
[20:48] <Gnea> Azareth: maybe, if you're using a VM then it may not work at all if the socket isn't listening directly on the outside IP

[20:48] <pradeep> Azareth, telbet uses port 23
[20:48] <pradeep> telnet*
[20:48] <Gnea> Azareth: have you made sure it's listening?
[20:49] <KM0201> opengeard: that is strange i've had no such issue... and it is way faster than FF on my system.
[20:49] <Gnea> pradeep: for SMTP?
[20:49] <opengeard> Chromium uses little shared memory... it defeats the whole design principle.
[20:49] <Azareth> Gnea: telnet alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25
[20:49] <collinp> Quick question, Is it normal for Ubuntu to use Windows boot manager when Windows is present on a hard drive?
[20:49] <Azareth> this is the Google`s smtp
[20:49] <collinp> When installing, that is.
[20:49] <Azareth> and must be lsitening on this port
[20:49] <glaceman> collinp: nope :P
[20:49] <glaceman> normally uses grub
[20:49] <opengeard> KM0201: Chromium is great without extensions. :)
[20:49] <collinp> glaceman: Apparently one of my friend's computers disagrees.
[20:49] <Gnea> Azareth: I'm talking about the smtp (postfix) listening on your ubuntu in VM. it does not have that google address.
[20:50] <KM0201> opengeard: there's a fwe of the extensions i really like... adblock and youtube downloader, and i'm set
[20:50] <Azareth> Gnea : it has it mails in the queue, so I think it is
[20:50] <opengeard> yeah, rapportive is pretty good for gmail.
[20:50] <pradeep>  telnet alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25 i could telnet it
[20:50] <pradeep> so you can try it then
[20:51] <Gnea> Azareth: the problem is that you're using it in a VM, it has a local IP, not a real IP
[20:51] <pradeep> i hope ypu configure your VM well
[20:51] <Azareth> Gnea : I just rememberd that I succeded to send mail using ssmtp, so port 25 is ok, it must be the postfix configuration
[20:51] <pradeep> are you using virtualbox or vmware
[20:51] <Azareth> VirtualBox
[20:52] <Auriga> Howdy all...
[20:52] <Gnea> Azareth: then you need to find a way to get virtualbox to accept connections from the internet
[20:52] <Gnea> Azareth: your ip on the vm is a local lan ip, right?
[20:52] <glaceman> hey guys, when i login to ubuntu, at startup i receive 2 pop up boxes for typing a password, i know one of them is for my wireless network, what could be the other ?
[20:52] <Auriga> I am trying to run a .sh file but I get permission denied when I type ./file.sh... & I have tried chmod 777 & 775 & some other things that are not working... Any ideas?
[20:53] <Azareth> Gnea : I have send an email once, with other smtp server so the problem is in the postfix config, not the network
[20:53] <opengeard> chromium pebkac, 200m gained by cleaning up extensions.  woot.
[20:53] <danopia_> glaceman, what does it say?
[20:53] <Gnea> Azareth: okay
[20:53] <glaceman> danopia_: querying default password, something like that
[20:53] <Azareth> Gnea : am I not right?
[20:54] <glaceman> danopia_: u know when u connect to a wireless network, after entering the wep key, it ask u for another password
[20:54] <glaceman> that's the box i receive 2 times while logging in
[20:54] <guntbert> !u | glaceman
[20:54] <Gnea> Azareth: well, heh, an SMTP should be able to do outbound and inbound connections.  if the port isn't being forwarded correctly, then it's only going to do outbound. With virtualbox, you get a private IP, so it can NOT be seen on the internet. Do you understand?
[20:54] <glaceman> hahahahahahaha ubottu
[20:54] <glaceman> lolll
[20:55] <sanziana> guys, can you recommend me a good alternative to windows's kmplayer? I tryed Vlc but I don't like how it manages subtitles.......
[20:55] <KM0201> glaceman: thats pretty funny
[20:55] <cconstantine> Is there a way to find the size of a file by counting blocks?  I'm working with sparce files and I want to know how much on-disk space is being used.
[20:55] <Azareth> Gnea : I have bridged the connections of VB and my ISP
[20:55] <Gnea> sanziana: gmplayer
[20:55] <rs_sb> sanziana, try smplayer
[20:55] <Gnea> Azareth: okay, and can you telnet to port 25 from the internet?
[20:55] <guntbert> Auriga: please paste the output of ls -l file.sh
[20:55] <pradeep> Gnea, change the settings of your lan card to briged host adapter
[20:56] <Gnea> pradeep: what?
[20:56] <pradeep> i think you are geting a NAt address
[20:56] <glaceman> KM0201: what chat program are u using right now ?
[20:56] <KM0201> pradeep: whats the IP of the guest.. that will tell you right there
[20:56] <Gnea> pradeep: I'm not the one using vbox here, Azareth is.
[20:56] <KM0201> glaceman: xchat
[20:57] <glaceman> KM0201: ok
[20:57] <glaceman> KM0201: is it good ? im using irssi
[20:57] <pradeep> Gnea, Oh my bad thought you were the one
[20:58] <glaceman> question: what are those emblems ?
[20:58] <glaceman> when i right click on a folder, i have "emblems" with pictures
[20:58] <opengeard> Auriga: #!/bin/bash as the first line
[20:58] <glaceman> what does emblems means
[20:58] <opengeard> #!/bin/sh , #!/usr/bin/env bash , #!/usr/bin/env sh should also work.
[20:58] <sanziana> Gnea, I don't see it in synaptic
[20:58] <KM0201> glaceman: i like xchat... just cuz i'm a GUI whore... but if you're using irssi and like it, you probably won't like xchat
[20:58] <gabriele> c
[20:58] <Gnea> !info mplayer-gui | sanziana
[20:58] <Auriga> Just a second...
[20:58] <Gnea> !info mplayer-gui lucid | sanziana
[21:00] <danopia_> glaceman, iirc emblems are icons that appear in the corners of the file's icon
[21:00] <glaceman> is there any way i can launch a terminal window with a command line ?
[21:00] <glaceman> like a script or something
[21:00] <danopia_> gnome-terminal ?
[21:01] <danopia_> you mean running a script in it?
[21:01] <glaceman> i want to launch a program via terminal when i click on it
[21:01] <glaceman> application launcher shortcut
[21:01] <Gnea> like I have been saying, 10.10 screwed the pooch.
[21:01] <TheBeige> icon
[21:01] <TheBeige> Gnea, what is wrong with 10.10?
[21:01] <Gnea> TheBeige: you didn't just see that?
[21:01] <sanziana> I just installed ubuntu yesterday......so it's not available in 10.10?
[21:01] <TheBeige> Gnea, say or see?
[21:01] <Gnea> TheBeige: SEE.
[21:01] <kcorcoran> i added a firewire card to my computer, running ubuntu 10.10 - can someone tell me how to check if the card was recognized or what steps i need to follow to properly install/verify the card is working?
[21:01] <Gnea> sanziana: apparently not, but it is in 10.04... vlc is usually fine, what's wrong with it?
[21:01] <TheBeige> Gnea, ok, what didn't I "see"?
[21:01] <Gnea> TheBeige: too much for me to type again.
